The boat floated on the river for a day. The drifting speed was not fast due to the wrong wind direction. When night fell, it was still some distance away from the town.

The boatman was an honest man who said: "Masters, there is no temple here, so I can only blame the masters for living in the cabin at night."

Chen Xiran replied: "It's okay, it's not fun to spend the night on the boat."

At night, after Qin Muwen put the little bun to sleep, Li Jin opened the small window and lay on the bed with his hands behind his head, watching the sky full of stars.

Qin Muwen washed his feet and went to bed. Li Jin freed up one hand to hold him in his arms, and pointed his other hand to the Big Dipper in the sky.

"That direction is Yanjing."

Qin Muwen was startled, and seemed to remember some bad memories. He said: "A Jin, will you go to Yanjing in the future?"

The changes in Qin Muwen's body couldn't escape Li Jin's perception at all. Li Jin hugged him tighter, his eyes drooping slightly, covering his dark eyes.

"will go."

Qin Muwen didn't speak, and Yanjing was not a good place for him, but listening to A Jin's powerful heartbeat, he didn't seem to be as flustered as he was at the beginning.

Thinking about this, Qin Muwen buried his head in the neck of Li Jin, the tip of his nose was haunted by the familiar breath, and he relaxed.

Li Jin went on to say: "I don't want to lie to you, Wenwen."

He closed the window and covered the two with quilts, his voice was very soft, but his tone was extremely firm, "I am determined to win the imperial examination."

Qin Muwen said, "No matter what A Jin's decision is, I will always be with A Jin."

The corners of Li Jin's lips curled up, but it was a pity that no one could see it in the dark.

The next day the wind was very smooth, and only a little later, Chen Xiran, standing on the bow of the ship, could see the outline of the town.

After another half hour, the boat stopped at the edge of the town, and the boatman went down first, tied the ropes of the boat to the pillars on the shore, and greeted several guests to disembark.

The river is rippling with microwaves, and even the boats shook.Li Jin had long legs, holding a little bun in his arms, stepping out with long legs, and stepping firmly on the ground.

Immediately, he turned around and stretched out his hand to Qin Muwen, helping his little husband to get off the boat.

Chen Xiran was the last to jump off the boat. He just revealed his figure when he heard someone shouting not far from the shore: "Master, you are back!"

It turns out that this is Chen Xiran's book boy. Since receiving Chen Xiran's letter, his wife has sent a book boy to wait here every day. Today is only the second day, and it is waiting for people.

Li Jin said goodbye to Chen Xiran and planned to return to the village directly.

Chen Xiran said, "Your house is vacant. How can you go to sleep at night? If you live in my house today, I will send someone to inform Brother Zhuzi tomorrow to pick up your family."

Li Jin shook his head: "It's still early today, it's just right to return..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a very familiar figure, drove an ox cart.

It really means that Cao Cao is here, and the person here is Li Zhuzi.

He is the same as Chen Xiran's family book boy said, "Since the village chief received your letter from..., the whole village has known that you are coming back. It just so happens that I stand out in the town every day, and I will come here to wait for you when I'm fine.

Li Zhuzi said lightly, but Li Jin was very moved. After saying goodbye to Chen Xiran again, he got on Li Zhuzi's bullock cart and the family went back to the village lively.

As for Mr. Song, he can only wait for Li Jin to come to town again tomorrow and visit him with Chen Xiran.

When Li Zhuzi talked to Li Jin this time, his tone became more cautious.

The incident of Li Jinlian's primary and secondary ternary has spread throughout the village.Even if most people don't know what'Xiao Sanyuan' is, they all know that Li Jin is the second elder scholar to pass the exam in the village.

The first one is naturally the origin of the name of Hongyan Village, Li Hongyan.

Li Jin said a few words to Li Zhuzi. Hearing his mouthful of "you", Li Jin was helpless: "Brother Zhuzi, I am just Li Jin now."

After hearing this, Li Zhuzi let out a'hey', "That's not good, you are now a master scholar!"

Li Jin said, "Master Xiucai is also your junior, Brother Zhuzi, I'm not used to talking to me like this."

Li Zhuzi couldn't help but called back'A Jin' again.

After returning home, Li Zhuzi and Li Daniu both sent brand-new mattresses and quilts. Li Jin asked Qin Muwen to hug his sleeping buns in the yard to bask in the sun, while he followed Li Zhuzi to sweep the house.

I haven't come back for ten months, and there has been a thick layer of dust at home.

When the cleaning was finished, Li Jin put the little bun on the paved bed.

The little guy seems to be really tired. He was making trouble on the boat last night and didn't have a good rest. Now he just fell asleep.

Li Jin packed everything up, and followed Li Zhuzi to move firewood.

His daughter-in-law also cooked two bowls of noodles for Li Jin and Qin Muwen early, with an egg lying in each bowl.

"Go out and get dumplings into the front. Last time you left in a hurry and didn't have time to buy dumplings wrapped in meat. Now the noodles that enter the door are delicious."

Li Jin was indeed hungry. After eating a bowl of noodles, he ate two more cakes before stopping his chopsticks.

Qin Muwen also happened to finish a bowl of noodles. He packed up and washed the dishes, while Li Jin followed Li Zhuzi to the village chief's house.

Li Zhuzi thought that the first sentence of the village chief when he saw Li Jin must be "Congratulations to Ajin Senior High School Junior Sanyuan."

It turned out that the village chief had taken out three books. There were four large characters on the cover of the first one, and Li Zhuzi didn't know any of them.

"This, this Nong Sang Sutra, but you compiled it yourself?"

Li Jin nodded: "Yes, Fucheng has a strong style of study. I entered Ningxing College to study. This book was compiled at that time."

The village chief said three'good' words on his face before explaining, "I started to worry that this author has the same name and surname as you, and I doubt it, but I also know that you are about to take the exam at the time, so I didn't bother you because of this.

Later, you sent a letter saying that you were coming back from high school to worship your ancestors. I also wanted to wait for you to meet and inquire directly.Fucheng is truly outstanding, and A Jin writes really well."

Li Jin smiled and said, "I went to Fucheng and not only compiled this book, but also another one, which is still in printing."

village head:"……"

Afterwards, the village head had a long talk with Li Jincu and heard him talk about his experience in Fucheng over the past ten months.

Although Li Jin said it was an understatement, the village head could hear that Li Jin had been working hard and making progress.

The village chief also told Li Jin about the situation in the village, “Since you have a good future, the banker in our village has not desperately asked the children to plant the land. Some people even specially collected a gift to send the children to the town. Go to school."

After all, the village head mentioned a few names.

Li Jin was a little surprised, and said, "Aren't the children mentioned by the village chief only five or six years old? They went to the town to study alone?"

The village chief said: "There is no way. The mother-in-law at home has to take care of her in-laws and other children. How can she concentrate on serving a child?

Li Jin thought for a while and said, "I have a suggestion. It's better to run an enlightenment school in the village. The enlightenment of young children does not require much advanced knowledge. They can read and teach them."

This also prevents children in the village from going to the town to encounter danger.

After all, those children are too young, and human traffickers are rampant these days. It is really not safe for children to go out alone.

The village chief was stunned, and said, "Do you run a Mongolian school in the village?"

Li Jin said: "Yes, there are always seven or eight children who want to learn now, which is quite a lot."

The village chief knocked the dry smoke on the ground, wringing his brows into the word'chuan', "I will think about it."

After Li Jin returned, the village chief came here at dinner time and said, "Just do what you said. When your mathematics script is printed, I will directly teach the children arithmetic according to the book. "

The village chief himself could only use abacus, but since receiving these three books in the twelfth lunar month last year, a person who was originally not interested in arithmetic took it out and took a look. The main reason was that he had all the content inside. Can understand.

It's not that the village chief has never seen a real arithmetic book. Compared with Li Jin's detailed annotated version, it is too profound.

He is a person who has never taken the county exam, and he naturally knows how difficult it is to do arithmetic.

Therefore, when the village head heard that Li Jin was about to publish a book again, he did not worry about delaying his children's enlightenment in math.

As the village chief, he still has some ink in his stomach, which is more than enough to teach children.

The head of the village asked Li Jin will be back for a few days. When he plans to start a clan school, if time is too late, please ask Li Jin to say a few words of encouragement to the children.

Li Jin smiled and said: "This time I took a leave of absence for ten days, except for four days on the return route, I will be in the village for the remaining six days."

The village chief squinted his eyes and said, "I have enough time, I will arrange for someone to prepare."

He walked to the door and turned back, "A Jin, give our village school a name. This suggestion was made by you. You can also contribute to the construction of the school."

Li Jin did not refuse, he directly agreed.

"Let me think about it for two days, and I will write it out and send it to you after I think it over."

Before leaving, the village chief looked at Li Jin's kitchen full of fruits and vegetables, and didn't ask any more. He only asked Li Jin to take a good rest and ease the burden of the journey.

Seeing Qin Muwen who was sending him out with Li Jin, the village chief thought for a while and said, "You are a good boy, and life will be better in the future."

"Thank you village chief."

At the same time, a letter from the prefect was presented at the desk of Mr. Pang.

Old Pang looked at the inscription on it, and his gray eyebrows trembled. Although his words were very disdainful, his cheerful tone revealed his joy after receiving letters from juniors.

"Didn't I say that the younger generations are not allowed to disturb me? Why do you have to come and send me letters without knowing the manners."

And the person who served the old man was no stranger to this.

The man sitting next to Mr. Pang was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old. Looking carefully, this man was the man who said he wanted to bet with Mr. Pang last time.

He said that he had nothing to say to Mr. Pang's duplicity.

But he also knew that once he pierced through, the old man's mentality collapsed.So he only mentioned the gambling agreement: "Master, if you are talking about Li Jinlian's primary and secondary three yuan, you can accept him as a disciple. Can you count?"

The old man just opened the envelope, pretending that he didn't hear this sentence.

At that time, he was just arrogant thinking that people who didn't send greetings to their circle were arrogant people. Even if such a person is clever, it is impossible for them to lead the case.

So the old man just said casually, he didn't expect... Li Jin would really dare to hit.

But he had confiscated his disciples for more than ten years. After accepting a disciple, he had to pick up his attitude again. There is no such thing as a happy relationship with acquaintances.

I can’t let my apprentice think that Master’s character is too lively.

Therefore, the old man made up his mind to ignore this sentence for the time being, first look at what the little guy in the family wrote to him.

So, the moment he opened the envelope, the old man's happy smile froze on his face...
