"Sister, brother-in-law, I'm back!"

Xu Jiaorong was busy in the kitchen and created a table of delicious dishes that were full of oil and oil. The entire back hall of Li Mansion was filled with a tempting aroma of dishes. At this time, the young man's clear shouts came from outside the door.

Xu Xian is back from school!

"Hanwen is back, your sister has made a lot of delicious food. Come here and enjoy it together!"

Li Gongfu smiled and waved his hand. A handsome young man with a childish and thin figure hurriedly ran in. He carefully put down the bamboo basket containing a pen, ink, paper and ink, rushed to the back hall with a happy look on his face, took a deep breath and excitedly said, "It smells so good, what delicious did my sister make?"

"You know how to eat it, it seems like my sister didn't make delicious food for you before!"

Xu Jiaorong smiled and gently pointed Xu Xian's forehead, his face and eyes were full of petting.

Li Gongfu smiled softly, the Big Malaysian Golden Knife sat in the main seat, waved his hand and smiled, "Stop talking, hurry up and have dinner!"

Xu Xian is worthy of being one of the male protagonists in the new White Snake legend. She has a delicate skin, tender flesh and creamy appearance, and has a standard white face.

Moreover, he is thin and has a sense of bookishness, which is very consistent with the standards of the "romantic talent" of this era. Obviously, this was also deliberately cultivated by Xu Jiaorong. Otherwise, how could he, a boy from a destitute family, grow up like this bird?

It's just a pity...

After drinking and eating, Xu Jiaorong quickly washed the plate with her hands and feet. Xu Xian felt embarrassed to come to Li Gongfu and whispered: "Brother-in-law, I won't go to school anymore!"

"Why, don't you want to study and take the imperial examination?"

Li Gongfu smiled lightly, but was not angry and said curiously: "Your sister has high hopes for you!"

Seeing that my brother-in-law didn't mean to blame him, Xu Xian breathed a sigh of relief and said distressedly: "I don't want to work hard, but I really don't have the talent to study..."

"What kind of talent is not talented in reading?"

Li Gongfu didn't like to listen to this and said angrily: "As the saying goes, diligence can make up for your shortcomings. Although my brother-in-law has not read many books, I have been in the yamen for so long. I also know that taking a scholar does not require a deep understanding of the meaning of the article. As long as I can be very familiar with it and perform normally in the exam room, I will basically be able to do it normally!"

Xu Xian glanced at Li Gongfu in surprise, and expressed surprise that this semi-illiterate brother-in-law could make such a "very reasonable" remark.

"What, am I wrong?"

Li Gongfu glanced at this little white face and smiled in his heart. It seemed that the so-called monster was also a visual animal. Otherwise, how could a thousand-year-old snake monster be "loved at first sight" with this guy?

"Brother-in-law is right!"

Xu Xian responded dejectedly, and then said depressedly, "I don't know what's going on. Whenever I pick up the article and the meaning of the scriptures, my mind always buzzes and can't calm down. What if I do?"

"Oh, that's it!"

Li Gongfu's face was quite strange. He didn't understand why Xu Xian had such a situation. This was obviously unreasonable.

Of course, this is the world of the legend of the new White Snake. There are many things that are not in line with common sense, but the thing that Xu Xian encountered is quite strange.

If you think about the plot of the new White Snake legend, White Snake Bai Suzhen is definitely not an ordinary family. She is a disciple of a mother in Lishan, but she is not as proud as a disciple in the three realms of heaven, earth, and man. For Xu Xian, the unsupported A Dou, who is unable to help, he stirs up the wind and rain.

Xu Xian's son was Wen Quxing, and it seemed that he had been destined to be long ago. This matter is not simple. Heavenly courtesy and Li Shan's mother should not have much friendship. If you can give such a big face, Xu Xian must have an extraordinary background.

However, in the story of the new White Snake legend, there are few things involving immortals and gods such as the Heavenly Court. It is difficult to understand how it is like watching flowers in the fog without really involving it.

...

"What, you don't want to study in Chinese anymore, how can this happen?"

Sure enough, after Xu Jiaorong finished washing the dishes, she was shocked when she heard her younger brother Xu Xian’s thoughts, and looked disagreeable and said anxiously: “No matter what, studying and becoming an official is the best way out!”

She was also very depressed and felt a sense of anger towards her younger brother. She finally got married into the Li family, but her husband, Li Gongfu, didn't mind helping to raise her younger brother, and even paid to support her younger brother in school. What a great opportunity.

"Madam, don't be angry, it's not too late to listen to Chinese words!"

Li Gongfu gently lined up Xu Jiaorong's shoulders and chuckled: "Everything can be solved, so don't be angry in a hurry!"

"Yes, sister, don't be angry!"

Xu Xian looked frightened and said with apologetic expression: "I don't know my sister's kindness, but my brother doesn't know what's going on. I'm not sure about it. I'm not sure when I pick up the scriptures and books, and I always rank at the bottom of the school assessment. Even if my brother is willing to persist, the school and the master will not give my brother the quota for the imperial examination!"

The imperial examination candidates in Daqi have clear regulations that if students studying in the county want to participate, they must at least be recommended by a serious master or school, otherwise they are not qualified to participate in the imperial examination.

"This is this..."

Xu Jiaorong was immediately panicked when he heard this, and his expression on his face was changing very brightly.

"Hanwen, do you have any plans for the future?"

Li Gongfu had to change the subject and asked: "If you need help, just say it, your brother-in-law will definitely help you!"

"Thank you brother-in-law!"

With Li Gongfu's support, Xu Xian was obviously relieved and smiled: "The so-called "is a famous doctor who is not a famous person. Since I have no talent in studying and exams, I want to try it out. This is also a good way to make a living!"

"Not bad, madam, what do you think?"

Li Gongfu nodded with satisfaction. It would be best for Xu Xian to have his own ideas. As a brother-in-law, he only needs to help him later. He doesn't have to make any decisions for him. He may not be able to get it well afterwards.

Xu Xian is just an A Dou who can't help him. He is too soft-hearted and has little opinion. No one knows how he can end up being an apprentice in the pharmacy.

"Then, try it!"

To put it bluntly, Xu Jiaorong was just a traditional feudal woman. Seeing that her younger brother and husband had made up their minds, although she was a little unwilling to do so, she finally nodded and agreed.

Xu Xian breathed a sigh of relief, looking like he was out of the sea of ​​suffering, and it was obvious that his life in school was very difficult.

Li Gongfu didn't say much, but asked Xu Xian not to leave the school first. It would not be too late to leave the school after he helped find a pharmacy that could accept him.

Xu Xian agreed to everything, as long as he could get out of the misery of the school, he would be happy to do anything.

...

He was speechless all night. After breakfast the next morning, Li Gongfu dressed neatly and waved to work in the county government office.

The "big matters" in the yamen were handled by the county magistrate Bo and other officials. It was not his turn, a mere minor official, to intervene, but just sit in the side hall of the yamen waiting for the county magistrate to give orders.

When I have nothing to do, I feel so tired, but when I have something to do, I feel so busy. In short, the work in the yamen is like that, but as long as I maintain a good look, the officials and officials will work together to make a lot of money.

Isn’t there a saying: the yamen’s horoscope is facing south, don’t come in if you have any reason or not!

He has a little conscience and will do things after receiving the money. As for those bad guys, they eat the plaintiff and the defendants, and in the end, they are all eaten without any bones and slags, which is so dark that they are.

The Qiantang County Magistrate is pretty good, at least he has some conscience. He is willing to do something after taking advantage of the benefits. Li Gongfu is not the kind of person who wants money. Everything is impossible to follow the procedures, but relative fairness can still be guaranteed, which is true when he can do things.

The county magistrate in the feudal era was known as Bailihou, and he combined financial power and military power as well as human rights and judicial power. In addition to normal official duties, he also often held courts for trial.

Of course, because of performance appraisal, every local official hopes that cases will occur frequently under his rule, and they are actually only a little cognitive about the court's laws and regulations. The so-called case judgments are mostly based on careful thoughts and ideas, which are very simple and crude.

The rare tranquility in the yamen today. The county master had no idea of ​​opening a trial. Li Gongfu naturally had a leisurely leisure. After sitting in the yamen signing room for a while, he took his yamen runners and left the yamen. He was very domineering in the yamen and swept around the bustling streets of Qiantang.

"Captain Li looks good today!"

"Captain Li, the freshly baked meat bun, do you want one?"

"Haha, Captain Li came just right. The peanut and nut filling pastry that had just been made, and this was given to Captain Li. Thank you for your hard work!"

“…”

Although the ancient version of the Public Security Bureau Director did not have a formal grade, he was still an extraordinary figure in the eyes of the common people. This was not just a patrol in the street, but the hands of several deep-seated yamen runners were filled with the benefits of small vendors and shop owners taking the initiative to give them.

This is because he deliberately did not patrol the streets every day. If he came here a few times a day, his family would not lack any snacks and he would not finish eating them every day.

Daqi is really similar to the Song Dynasty. The city culture is quite rich and colorful. There are all kinds of acrobatics and magic along the way, as well as big rocks on the chest, swords, guns and flowers. There are even more "high-end" competitive entertainment projects such as sumo wrestling in special venues.

As for economic development, it is also quite prosperous. Basically, except for various electrified products, there are a wide range of other things.

The streets are clean and crowded, and it is very lively. Li Gongfu squinted his eyes and enjoyed the rich atmosphere of the city. He felt that life was nothing to live like this plain.

"Li Touer, Li Touer..."

An anxious shout suddenly came from behind him. Li Gongfu looked back and saw that it was Zhang San, one of the yamen runners who stayed in the yamen. He said angrily: "What's wrong with Zhang San? Look at your anxious look, you're burning your butt!"

Hahaha%

The young master of the yamen runner followed behind laughed loudly. The guy's face turned green with a smile and said anxiously: "No, the county magistrate asked Li Touer to go back quickly, there is something important..."
