"Dong dong dong."
Ling Jing's eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liu, came in to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Ling Jing was about to speak but stopped. Li Shan smiled and said: "Auntie, I was in such a hurry that day that I only packed a few beddings and soft clothes. If there is anything missing, just give me instructions. "
"You're welcome, Mr. Li." Ms. Liu cleaned up her hands and feet quickly and said, "The old lady also asked just now..."
"Cough, cough, cough." Ling Jing suddenly coughed twice, "Don't bother me, we only need a few acres of thin fields. If something happens, that maid Huairen is the one who can make the decision."
"Cough cough, cough cough." Li Shan couldn't help coughing a few times, and said with a wry smile: "That girl is spoiled by my nephew. She laughs at every sight."
Mrs. Liu's expression changed slightly, she picked up the bamboo basket and exited the room. Ling Jing snorted, a little dissatisfied with his eldest daughter-in-law.
Although Li Shan had some thoughts, he had never experienced it after all. Since his family had a small population in his two lifetimes, he naturally could not understand the meaning of these nooks and crannies.
But Ling Jing understands that there is a fundamental difference between the eldest daughter-in-law going to Zhu and Xiaoman.
If the eighth daughter is seen as clean, where can she get married in the future?
Mrs. Liu had some small thoughts, but Ling Jing strangled her thoughts without mercy... In this era, marriages basically followed the principle of being of the same family.
Although Li Shan was abandoned by his father, his ancestors held high positions in Wei, Zhou, and Sui Dynasties. There were countless knights in the family. He was appreciated by nobles and had close contacts with many children of aristocratic families and clans.
Although Ling Jing himself had long been famous in Shandong, his two sons were both mediocre people and could be considered as children from a poor family.
Ling Jing thought of the superiority relationship between the Zhu family and Zhu Wei, and also recalled the Zhu family's calm expression after being closed to the public today, and thought to himself that Li Shan's mother's family was not unknown.
If the granddaughter wanted to enter the Li family, the main wife would basically have no hope... This is why Ling Jing asked his eldest daughter-in-law to go to Xiaoman if something happened.
This is also the reason why Ling Jing was willing to help Cui Xin before.
Picking up the bamboo stick and picking the wick, the dim candlelight suddenly lit up. Ling Jing organized his thoughts and shook his head: "Now you are famous in the north of the Yellow River... No matter how famous you are, if the outside world doesn't know your ancestors, there will definitely be many people exploring it. , I’m afraid this matter won’t be hidden for long.”
Li Shan smiled bitterly and said, "It was just to add some weight to my friend's reputation in Chang'an before. Unexpectedly, the Qinghe incident..."
"It's superfluous." Ling Jing sneered twice, "Li Demou mentioned that Li Dewu already has a son, so neither he nor the Pei family's wife can tolerate you."
"If things leak out..."
Ling Jing's cheeks twitched as he thought about it, "Even if you have to lift the lid, you have to find the right time."
Li Shan added: "Let others lift the lid, why not do it yourself?"
"And we can't let people tell it's you..." Ling Jingqu tapped his fingers on the table, "But that's all for the future."
Li Shan stood up and bowed, "Please give me some advice from Uncle Ling."
Ling Jing raised his left hand slightly, stood up, walked a few steps, and said slowly: "Since you have been exchanging letters with the King of Qin and have decided to take the imperial examination and become an official, you should first consider this matter."
"In the first battle in Shandong, you planned a plan to defeat the enemy and gained a great reputation. However, because of the Qinghe incident, many people will pay special attention to it. But as long as you stop causing trouble, no one will take the initiative to contact you except old friends."
"Yes, it was only five years since Li Tang founded the country. The world was initially settled and the etiquette was not yet complete. There was a fight for the right to inherit the throne within the country, and there were Turks looking at it from outside." Li Shan nodded and said: "The situation in Chang'an City has changed, and the battle for the right to win the right to the right has become more and more fierce. If you concentrate on preparing for the exam and ignore external affairs..."
Speaking of this, Li Shan paused and stopped talking.
"What's wrong?" Ling Jing frowned and scolded: "Is it so difficult not to cause trouble?"
Li Shan said with a bitter face: "Suddenly there are hundreds of people in the village, plus the refugees we took in last year... If we only rely on the land, we will probably starve to death... No one will have enough food left!"
Ling Jing's face darkened. This was something he had never expected. This guy had arranged for everyone to move here, and later he even took in Qi Laoliu and others... He thought he was very rich, but he didn't expect that life would be better than before. Shandong is not much stronger!
"Let's see in a few days." Li Shan thought about it in his mind, and he was thinking about it on the way back. "The seventh uncle bought a large piece of fertile land on the other side of the Jing River. If every family gets a share, it will definitely be not enough."
"Dongshan Restaurant is very profitable, but it's all the benefits of the Zhu clan... Let me think about it and earn some money... As long as I'm on the road... I'll concentrate on preparing for the exam, so I won't cause trouble!"
Li Shan originally thought that making money is not difficult for a time traveler, but when he thought about it carefully on the way back, he realized that there was really no good way to do it, but at least there was a guarantee.
Ling Jing smiled and said: "It's easy to say, but difficult to do."
Li Shan blinked, "Uncle Ling means..."
Are you afraid that I won’t be able to feed these two hundred people?
"I hope you stay on your toes, it's going to be very difficult."
Li Shan's face was a little dark. Why did he change his words here again? Could it be that I was the one who caused all the bad things before?
Could it be that I took the initiative to provoke the children of Prince Qin in Changlepo?
Could it be that I volunteered to escort grain and grass northward on Shaanxi Road?
Ling Jing, who was pacing, suddenly paused, "By the way, Li Demou mentioned today that you are going to take the Jinshi major?"
"Um."
Ling Jing's lips moved, and he endured it for a while before tentatively asking: "Have you ever written poetry before?"
Li Shanpi hummed with a smile, "I understand a little bit."
Facing Li Kai and Wang Renbiao, Li Shan really didn't dare to say "I understand a little bit," because he had little credibility in this regard.
In his early years, Ling Jing was famous for being good at "Spring and Autumn", "Zhou Li", and "Shang Shu", and he was also good at poetry. However, he was not good at this aspect, and if the ghostwriter cheated... No matter how cunning the boy in front of him was, he would inevitably be rejected in the future. People pierce.
"You are good at arithmetic, why don't you take the Mingshi major? Even if you are not good at economics, you can..." Ling Jing had a headache, "Chang'an ordered Li Qianyou to be worthy of your uncle and nephew, why did he let you take the Jinshi major?!"
Li Shan still had the same expression, "Chang'an Commander Li Qianyou and Chang'an County Lieutenant Li Dewu went south with the army a few months ago. Later, Li Dewu returned to Beijing, and Li Qianyou stayed in Shaanxi Province. He was able to return to Beijing this month."
"Li Dewu is the captain of Chang'an County?" Ling Jing exclaimed, "It must have been him who did it. He was so unlucky..."
Li Shan's long sigh interrupted Ling Jing's sigh, "You are trapped in a cocoon!"
After listening to Li Shanji's detailed explanation of the change of hands in the Chang'an Order last year, Ling Jing couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Last year, I planned to take the imperial examination to become an official, so I made this happen. There are some tricks."
"It's a helpless move. If Li Dewu becomes an official under the Chang'an Order, he will never be able to take part in the imperial examination unless he moves to another county."
"But after spinning around, you still bumped into his hand. It was really unlucky... you were trapped in a cocoon. This word is just right."
