County Magistrate Fu and Master Fu looked at each other, their eyes were shining brightly. The master sat on the sidelines listening to them, frowning slightly. This is the third time that the county magistrate has mentioned tax reduction and exemption. Discussion, but this time it was in public, it seems that the county magistrate is very determined.
The head secretary glanced at the people sitting in the hall, sighed slightly, and fell silent.
It is not a bad idea to reduce or exempt taxes, but I am afraid that the county magistrate will not be very happy...
The people at the table thought about it, but it was only for a moment. After Manbao's voice fell, everyone was silent for a moment, and then Magistrate Fu burst out laughing, looking at Manbao and Shanbao .
Finally, they patted their round heads lightly, then turned to ask Master Bai, "How old is the young master?"
Master Bai immediately said, "Eight years old."
This is the imaginary age. Before the child grows up, adults like to calculate the imaginary age of the child, as if it can make them grow up faster.
County Magistrate Fu naturally knew this too, and as he was one year old, he couldn't help being a little envious, "When I met him last year, he wasn't even seven years old, right? At that time he showed me an article, and I thought he was extraordinary." , Looking at it today, the knowledge is really extraordinary, why don't you consider sending him to the county school?"
Lizhi is Bai Li's character, which was given to him by Bai Qi and his husband. They didn't have a father, so when the two of them reached the crown, the character was given by the husband.
County magistrate Fu called him a very familiar name.
Bai Li smiled gratifiedly, and his heart was a little moved, but when he looked down at the child who was blinking so hard that his eyes were almost convulsed, Bai Li shook his head and said, "The child is still young, let's wait until he grows up."
He said: "Besides, his aunt is in charge of his affairs. He is the only seedling of my cousin. I'm afraid the family won't trust him to be outside alone."
County magistrate Fu laughed, "The county school is in the city, not too far away. Then you can send a capable servant to follow. No matter how bad it is, it's okay to move your family to the city."
When magistrate Fu mentioned it, he became energetic and tried his best to encourage Master Bai to move to the county seat.
It's not just because of Bai Shanbao, but more importantly, if the Bai family moves to the county, it will be much more convenient for him to invite people out to do things.
Back then, Bai Li decided to make his home in Qili Village because it was a quiet and livable place. Of course, he would not look for someone to move back to the county town, so he refused with a smile.
Magistrate Fu felt sorry, thought for a while and said, "Why don't I accept him as my disciple, and let him study with me when the time comes."
Bai Shanbao was not happy. Although Mr. Zhuang did not formally accept him as an apprentice, his treatment was the same as that of Man Bao. He also liked Mr. Zhuang very much, but he didn't like going to any county to study.
So he reached out to grab the corner of Bai Li's clothes.
Man Bao is also in a hurry, but this is someone else's business, and it's two adults talking, so she can't interrupt rashly.
Bai Li's expression remained unchanged, his hands lowered calmly, he patted Bai Shan's hand, and said with a smile to the county magistrate: "It's his luck that your lord sees him, I'm afraid my aunt won't bear him, you don't know, this The child just goes to the market in Dali Village from here, so the aunt has to ask three times a day. And the adult is in the prime of life, and has made a lot of achievements in the past two years. I am afraid that he will move to the right soon. At that time, the aunt will definitely not let the child go with the adult. Leaving, let him apprentice at this time, wouldn't it take up a spot for nothing?"
Bai Li smiled and said: "If my lord doesn't dislike it, if he has doubts in the future, he will go to you to explain his doubts. I hope you will not hesitate to teach him, and let him serve him as a teacher in the future. In this way, although lord and Shanbao do not have the name of master and apprentice, they are still good friends." Can have the reality of master and apprentice."
Magistrate Fu laughed and agreed without thinking, not because he was persuaded, but because Bai Li's words made him very happy.
Now that he was thinking about his promotion, Bai Li's flattery just scratched his itch.
Bai Li smiled and raised a toast to him, thinking in his heart: He is not stupid, yes, magistrate Fu is a Jinshi, which is better than Mr. Zhuang, who was born in a government school and failed to enter the Imperial Academy, nor did he pass the Jinshi exam.
But the point is, can magistrate Fu have the time to teach Shanbao six hours a day
Obviously impossible.
As a county magistrate, I dare not say that I am too busy to turn around, at least it will not be easy.
How much can Shanbao learn from studying with him
If he asked this topic ten years later, Bai Li would definitely agree for Shanbao without even thinking about it, because what Shanbao, who is seventeen or eighteen years old, needs is the advice of an official in the court like magistrate Fu.
By worshiping him as a teacher, not only can he learn knowledge and knowledge in the officialdom, but he can also gain the reputation of Fu County's people.
Ke Shanbao is only eight years old now, no, actually only seven and a half years old.
At this time, he followed magistrate fu, and the harm outweighed the benefit.
Although he can also get some things from magistrate fu, at this stage, he must not learn more than from Mr. Zhuang.
and…
Bai Li lowered his eyes and drank the wine in one gulp. He admired Mr. Zhuang not only for his knowledge, but also for his personality.
After drinking a glass of wine, the matter is over, County Magistrate Fu put down his glass and told Bai Shanbao, "Come to the county government to see me when you have time, and I can also test your homework from time to time."
Bai Shanbao nodded obediently, and Man Bao, who was relieved next to him, also smiled sweetly at him with his little head up, thinking to himself: If Shanbao left, she would not have a particularly good friend. Fortunately, he did not leave.
County Magistrate Fu saw her smile and said, "Come with Zhou Man when the time comes, I remember you and my second daughter are good friends, right?"
The last sentence was spoken to Man Bao.
Man Bao nodded.
Magistrate Fu smiled and asked, "Are you still communicating?"
"True, did she not know that your lord came to our village, otherwise why didn't she bring me a letter?"
Magistrate Fu: "...I don't know."
I'm here to inspect, not to send you a letter.
"I just knew, my lord, when you leave later, I will write a letter to Second Sister Fu, can you take it back to her for me?"
"… Can."
Man Bao agreed happily, and whispered to Bai Shanbao, "Second Sister Fu is well, do you want to write to Second Sister Fu together with me, you can become good friends after correspondence."
Although it was a whisper, everyone sat at a dinner table and heard it.
The head of the village, the head of the village, and the old Zhou Tou didn't think it was a big deal, but County Magistrate Fu and others jumped on their foreheads.
County magistrate Fu coughed lightly, and Bai Li hurriedly said to the excited Bai Shanbao: "Shanbao, this county town is not very far from the village. If you want to make friends, you will naturally see them when you visit the adults in the county town. I remember My lord's young master is about the same age as Shanbao, right?"
Magistrate Fu laughed and said: "Exactly, he is also eight years old this year, but he is very naughty and has not read many books. When Bai Shan goes, he can study with that kid and teach him."
