When Li Yuan heard that this was the case, she asked, "Does she want money or food?"
"Food! There are four children in her family. The eldest and the youngest are girls, one is thirteen years old and the other is six years old. The two middle ones are sons, one is ten years old and the other is eight years old. They are all attending private schools. Originally, when Brother Deng was here , The couple was able to work hard and get by. It became difficult after Brother Deng died. Especially after the disaster last year, her family's life became even more difficult."
Li Jun was silent for a moment before speaking from the bottom of his heart: "Sister, I actually have selfish motives for looking for Sister Deng. I want to take this opportunity to help her more! In the past, I received favors from her family, but I still owe a lot of debt. Even if I want to help, but I am powerless. Now that I am here, I see that her life is not going well, so I want to help."
When Li Yuan heard what was going on, she asked: "How much food do you think we should give Junzi? Also, since she has a son studying, she should spend a lot of money on pens, ink, paper and inkstones. You have no shortage of them now. I won't give you money or silver. But I have cotton in my space and the cloth I bought before. When you go there tomorrow, you can also give some to them. Just say that I am your sister and thank them for taking care of you. ."
When Li Jun heard this, his eyes swelled. He wanted to say no, but when he thought about how he had taken care of him before, he was speechless.
After a while, he calmed down and then said: "Sister, just give me two shi of coarse grains for daily food, and five kilograms of fine rice and fine flour. Cotton can be given, but cloth is fine. If it's money, I'll give it myself." "
"good!"
Because this matter was delayed for a day, Li Jun and Li Yuan waited until it was settled before continuing to chase the people.
Maybe it was because of the presence of cousins Li Jun and Li Zheng, or maybe it was because Li Jun knew Li Yuan's secret.
So after the group of them reunited, no matter where they were going or what they were going to do, everything went smoothly.
Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, when the Lijia'ao people entered the territory of Luyang Mansion, it was already mid-to-late July.
At that time, Li Jun and Li Zheng also knew about their government examination results.
Just as Xie Yanzhi and Ying Lei expected, Li Zheng was on the list, ranked thirty-nine.
And Li Jun took the last place purely by luck.
Of course, his last place is still on a supplementary basis.
Originally, he failed, but before the list came out, the new prefect, Mr. Wei, heard that there were several people on the list. On the day of leaving the tribute hospital, they were rained all day and felt that they would not do well in the exam. After returning, they became ill. He died within a few days.
After learning about this, he postponed the announcement of the government examination list for a few days, and then ordered someone to verify the news.
After checking all the people on the list, it was found that two people with bad bones had indeed died.
Once the person disappears, the fame will naturally disappear with him, so the ranking can only be postponed.
And Li Jun happened to be in the top two among the losers, so he won the title of scholar as a substitute for the last place.
No matter how Li Jun became a scholar, everyone was extremely happy when they learned the news, especially Li Qinghua and the elders of the Li clan.
The Li family has not produced a scholar for many years, and this time there are only two.
This means that when they arrive at Lanxia City, they will be more confident.
For Li Jun, his wife and sister have great opportunities because they have received God's love.
Under such circumstances, it is normal for him to have better luck!
But he also knew that the time he spent picking up the books was too short. In the future, for the sake of his own fame and not to embarrass his brother-in-law, he would have to read more books.
The topic went off topic. As soon as the group entered the territory of Luyang Mansion, Li Jun said to Li Yuan: "Sister, let's find a place where you can put out the food that you so-called helped everyone transport, and then go back to Xinyang Mansion. Now. The weather has improved, and it will be faster if you go back by yourself. I think my brother-in-law would like to see you before the provincial examination."
Wang Can on the side also said: "Yes, sister, this is already Luyang Mansion. Mr. Chen also knows Brother Junzi. With him and Third Brother here, just don't worry."
Li Yuan had indeed not seen her child and Xie Yanzhi for a long time, and since she would not be of much use in the future, she readily agreed.
"Okay, then let's find a place to put the food out, and then leave the rest to Junzi!"
"Um!"
At that time, the Xie family in the east of Xinyang Prefecture
The closer to the provincial examination time, the busier Xie Yanzhi became, but there was always time to take a break.
It was a rare day for him to relax at home, and he thought about where Li Yuan was now. But when he missed him, he heard Li Tai's voice coming from outside the door.
"Master, there is someone outside the door asking to see you. He calls himself Xu Chongguang. He is the magistrate of Liuyun County and is an old friend of yours."
Xie Yanzhi, who was still silently calculating in his mind how many days it would take before he could see Li Yuan, suddenly sat up from his bed when he heard this.
"Who, Artest, who do you think is coming? Is he alone, or is he accompanied by someone?"
"Sir, it's a man named Xu Chongguang. There is another person beside him who didn't say his name."
Xie Yanzhi thought that no one would dare to pretend to be an official of the imperial court, so he immediately tossed his clothes and hurried out the door.
"Let's go with me to see Mr. Xu!"
The people outside the Xie family at this time were Xu Chongguang and Master Bai.
He was able to come to Fucheng this time because he was summoned by Wei Zhifu.
It is said that because Xu Chongguang trusted Xie Yanzhi before, he listened to his words and led the people to stay in Liuyun County.
Even though it was flooded, there were supplies donated by "Xie Yanzhi" first, and then Master Kong and others, so both he and the remaining people in Liuyun County were living a good life.
Now the rain has stopped, the floods have receded, and because of the epidemic prevention issues in the book written by Xie Yanzhi, there are also medicines.
It can be said that Liuyun County's losses were minimized.
Today, Liuyun County is in dire straits waiting to be revitalized.
The former county seat is now gone.
After the flood receded, the original city walls were gone, the houses were gone, and there was mud everywhere as far as the eye could see.
Xu Chongguang was having a headache and didn't know where to start, so he was summoned by Magistrate Wei.
He didn't know what Magistrate Wei wanted to do with him, but he had a vague guess that it had something to do with rebuilding the city.
I heard that Mr. Liu from Liufeng County, upstream of Liuyun County, was furious because his treasury was stolen. After that, he did not know how, and he took bribes and plundered people's wealth. Mr. Wei found out about it.
Not long after, he was stripped of his hat and reportedly was escorted back to the capital to await trial by the Ministry of Punishment.
After hearing the news, he covered his pounding heart and felt grateful to Xie Yanzhi, no, to Shi Jianzhi for saving his life.
If it hadn't been him, he might have been the one who was removed from office and escorted back to the capital for trial!
