Chapter 554: parents
After Wen Xizhou passed the country test to solve the problem, there were more posts inviting him. It was impossible to go to all of them, but it was also impossible to refuse them all. He picked the right ones and went there twice, and soon it was the day of the Luming Banquet.
As a young Xie Yuan, Wen Xizhou is naturally the focus of everyone's attention. Lu Sheng looked at it secretly, and among all the new proposals, the young master of his family had the best appearance. Wearing the same clothes on him, he looks better than others.
Of course, there are also many people who are not convinced. Unconvinced that Xie Yuan is in the pocket of Wen Xizhou, a fourteen-year-old boy, they all want to make him look ugly. Someone proposed to write a poem, someone came forward to ask for advice, and someone suggested to paint... Well, everyone is trying their best to Wen Xizhou.
I heard that Xizhou has real talents and learning, what is he afraid of? He is not afraid at all!
You mean writing poetry? all right! painting? That's okay too! It's just that it's not rude to come and go, and I have written poems and paintings, so let's do something simple!
Then make a pair!
Wen Xizhou has been playing this game with his mother since he was a few years old. As a modern person, with the powerful Baidu in hand, who doesn’t have a few "absolute" and "wonderful pairs" in mind?
When Yu Zhi was in high school, he really played along with his classmates for a while, and really accumulated a lot. Wen Xizhou read a few words casually, making the group of people frown and think for a long time.
It’s not impossible to be right, but it takes time, and you need to calm down and think carefully. But this is at the Luming Banquet, how could it make you think for a long time? The test is a quick wit.
Everyone came to their senses, this young man Xie Yuan, despite his young age, is not a simple person. Most people restrained the thoughts in their hearts, and even if they were still aggrieved, they would not be so stupid as to express it.
Oh, Wen Xizhou also met a new friend, that is, brother Li who was reminded by Yu Zhi. Coincidentally, his surname is really Li, and his name is Li Xu.
Li Xu's father is a doctor in the Ministry of Officials, a fifth-rank official. It stands to reason that he shouldn't be so embarrassed. Isn't this a difficult scripture for every family?
Li Xu's position in the family is very embarrassing. He is a legitimate son, but he has two brothers, and his mother died when he was six years old. His mother was not meant to be favored, and after his mother was gone, his father immediately adopted the woman he loved as his second wife, and the concubine brother became the first son.
In this way, his stepmother couldn't tolerate him, so Li Xu was sent back to his hometown. He also knew that his father didn't like him, and he didn't want to go back to the capital again. He took the exam for talent in his hometown.
But who knows why his father went crazy after he was selected as a scholar, and wrote a letter asking him to return to the capital to take the rural examination. He didn't want to come, but his grandparents urged him to come to Beijing. After all, he was a father and son, and his father still had him in his heart. He took this opportunity to cultivate the relationship between father and son. Grandparents couldn't help him when they were old. Maybe he will go someday, what should I do if I leave him alone? Go, go, that's your dad!
Li Xu couldn't help but come to the capital after being read.
Only when he arrived in the capital did he find out that it was his father who thought of him as a son, but his stepmother saw that he had been selected as a scholar, and was afraid that he would pass the Juren examination again, so she would no longer be able to suppress him. Just thought of such a way to get him under the nose.
Li Xu only found out after suffering a loss. The day before the last provincial examination, he suffered from diarrhea all night and missed the exam. He is usually in good health, for no reason, why did he eat up his stomach?
Thanks to his 12 points of vigilance this time, he didn't expect them to be so bold as to throw paper **** into his test basket. Yes, that's right, it was his uncle who threw paper **** into his test basket. Fortunately, a kind person reminded him, otherwise... Li Xu didn't dare to think about the consequences.
When he came out of the Gongyuan after the exam that day, Li Xu was looking for a kind person to help him, but unfortunately he couldn't find it, and he didn't find it in the next two games. Just when he was depressed, he met Wen Xizhou at the Luming Banquet. Li Xu remembered clearly that the son who helped him was standing with Wen Xizhou. The two looked alike, so they must be brothers.
Li Xu was very happy, and bowed to Wen Xizhou gratefully, "Young Master Wen, how is Brother Ling? If it wasn't for Brother Ling that day, I, Li Xu, would never be where I am today. Brother Ling's great kindness, I will never forget it!"
Wen Xizhou was stunned, who is this person? What is this man talking about? When did he have an older brother?
"Master Wen forgot? At the gate of the Gongyuan that day, Brother Ling reminded me to pay attention to the test basket." Seeing his puzzled face, Li Xu quickly reminded him. Then he asked with concern: "Dare to ask Mr. Wen, is your brother okay? Can I come to the door to thank you?" He must personally thank the kind-hearted young master.
Wen Xizhou finally understood, oh, who is the unlucky scholar! But hearing him say his brother one by one, and thanking him personally, Wen Xizhou looked at his expression a little weirdly.
Li Xu's heart skipped a beat, he hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively, "But...is it inconvenient?"
Isn’t it just inconvenient? He couldn't say that it wasn't his brother, but his mother, could he?
"Not really." Wen Xizhou shook his head, saw that the man in front of him was indeed sincere, and said, "It's just a little effort, Mr. Li, don't worry about it."
Li Xu said sternly: "No, maybe it's a small effort for Brother Ling, but it's a life-saving grace for this subordinate. A gentleman should stand in the world and should be clear about his grievances and grievances."
The corner of Wen Xizhou's mouth twitched, and he could only say: "Young Master Li, that's not my brother, it's me... an elder in my family, but it's not easy for you to see her, she went out of Beijing to visit friends a few days ago. "He had to make up such a lie.
"I'm sorry, I made a mistake." Li Xu cupped his hands in embarrassment, "But I still have to thank you. When Mr. Wen's father returns, I hope you will let me know and I will visit again!" A salute.
This person is quite polite! Wen Xizhou had a good impression of him, but he refused and couldn't refuse, and it was hard to explain, so he could only vaguely agree, "Let's talk about it when the time comes."
Since then, Li Xu has unilaterally determined that Wen Xizhou is a friend worth making.
After all, he changed to someone else, so even if he saw someone throw paper **** into his test basket, he wouldn't mind his own business. Those with bad intentions even wished that he would not be able to enter the Gongyuan without a competitor.
But Wen Jieyuan's parents were able to take the risk to remind him that he is not only a warm-hearted and good person, but also an upright person.
Then, the juniors in their family can’t be wrong either!
To make friends, you must be such a person of integrity!
Wen Xizhou: Thank you so much!
Wen Xizhou does not reject Li Xu as a new friend, he still has a bit of discernment in seeing people. Li Xu has clear eyes, straightforward behavior, and good knowledge. It is rare that he has experienced so many bad things, but he is not paranoid and gloomy.
It was he who kept asking "Has your father come back?", which gave Wen Xizhou a headache!
