1597 Chapter 1
In the capital city in the evening, the setting sun cast a faint red light on the whole city, and everything around seemed a bit hazy. With a fish in his hand, Li Jun walked briskly towards his home. Today is the second month of his marriage, and he has no way to give his wife a decent wedding, so he secretly made up his mind that after getting married, he must treat his wife well, and this time Chun Wei, he must go all out. Earn an imperial order for the lady to come back.
I finished copying two books today, delivered them to the bookstore, and made a little money, so I thought about buying a fish for my wife to eat back.
Just as he walked to the door of an inn, a bundle suddenly flew out and flew past his nose. He was startled, and when he turned his head, he saw that Xiao Er was chasing a boy away.
"Fuck off! We're not from shantang. We don't have money to stay in any inn? Just like you, you still want to get fame, dream about it. Wouldn't it be good to go back and teach?" Xiaoer threw out the burden and made a sound ridiculed.
Li Jun glanced at the young man, the young man lowered his head, he couldn't see his face clearly, he could only see that the young man was dark and thin, he looked young, only fifteen or sixteen years old. At such an age, he has already won the invitation to come to the capital to prepare for the Spring Festival? Li Jun couldn't help thinking of a sentence, don't bully the young and poor. That Xiaoer must have felt that the young man could not win the exam, so he made such a mockery.
However, seeing the young man's dark skin, Li Jun seemed to understand. Candidates who are not well-groomed do not seem to have very good results in the end. As a Juren, it would be reasonable for someone to sponsor him to go to Beijing for the exam, but it is probably because of the candidate's appearance that others think it is not worth investing in, and this young man is so downcast.
Watching the thin young man slowly pick up the dusty bag, pat the dust on it, and prepare the bag to leave. Li Jun couldn't bear it suddenly, and he stopped in front of the young man.
"Little brother, do you have no place to live? If you don't mind, come to my house. Ah, don't get me wrong, I'm not a bad person. I'm also going to take part in Chunwei this year. We can review and take exams together." Li Jun invited Looking at the boy, seeing the surprised look in the boy's eyes, he hurriedly explained that he was not a bad person.
"Okay, thank you, big brother. My name is Ling and my name is Tianmiao." Tianmiao smiled, showing his white teeth. The sharp contrast between the snow-white teeth and the dark skin caused a visual impact, and Li Jun was taken aback when he saw it.
"My name is Li Jun. Brother Ling, you can call me Brother Li." Li Jun also grinned and introduced himself.
"Okay, thank you Brother Li." Tian Miao nodded his thanks.
Just like that, Li Jun took Tian Miao home. At the gate of the house, Tian Miao looked up at the door plaque on the gate and at the stone lions on both sides of the gate, and said, "Brother Li, your family seems to be very powerful?"
"That was before." Li Jun smiled helplessly, "Let's go in through the side door. My wife can't hear knocking on the door here."
Li Jun led Tian Miao into the house through the side door, and while walking, Li Jun explained to himself: "Our family has long since fallen, if I don't win this time, this ancestral house will not be able to keep."
"Brother Li's house used to be very beautiful." Tian Miao said affirmatively, looking at the many lanterns under the corridor. Although none of these lanterns were lit, the previous Li family should have been very rich in terms of this density.
