"Mr. Wenji, I..."
Yanhuang Academy, on the playground to the west, Li Zexuan looked at the white-haired, waning old man beside him. He wanted to say something, but couldn't. He was speechless for a moment.
But at this moment, Li Gang saw too many emotions in Li Zexuan's eyes, including fatigue, desire, and a trace of confusion. After a long silence, Li Gang slowly said:
"Xiao Xuan, if you are really tired, just stay in the academy! If we manage Yunshan well and train thousands of engineering talents, we can still make the Tang Dynasty sweep the world and dominate the world! Haste leads to haste. Bu Da, Xiaoxuan, although your intentions are good, sometimes you are a little too anxious, which is too heavy for you! Take it easy, child!"
At this time, Li Gang was not a gentleman from the academy, but more like Li Zexuan's elder. Whether it was his demeanor or his words, he showed his deep concern for Li Zexuan!
Hearing this, Li Zexuan felt warm in his heart. The old gentleman was the one who really understood him, and he also understood what the old gentleman meant, but...
"No! Can't slow down~! Times are changing, I can't stop!"
Li Zexuan understood Li Gang's kindness, but he could only accept it with his heart. After a moment of silence, Li Zexuan's eyes gradually became clear. He shook his head resolutely and said:
"When you are weak, there are the most bad people. They bully you without even saying hello. When you become indestructible one day, the suffering you once had will become a shining medal and the most painful slap to the evil person. A weak person wants to The only way to rise in the darkness is to shine as brightly as possible!
Although the Tang Dynasty is not weak, it is far from strong enough to be arrogant to all the heroes in the world. Especially in this national war with the Turks more than two months later, the outcome is still unknown. Of course, I cannot overturn it with my own strength. The world will change the situation of the war, but I will try my best. All this happened because of me, so I can't slow down! "
Li Zexuan's words are very profound and ethereal. At first glance, you may feel that what he said is meaningless, especially the last sentence "All this happened because of me, so I can't slow down" is the most puzzling. This Although Li Gang seemed to understand what he said, the old man did not question it. He vaguely seemed to be able to understand Li Zexuan's current mood.
"Xiao Xuan, I can understand your feelings, but freezing three feet is not something that can be done in a day, and it is not something that can only be done by accumulating soil into a mountain!"
Li Gang sighed and persuaded.
In fact, Li Zexuan did not want to rest, but the situation in front of him did not allow him to rest. He just said something that he did not say clearly, that is, according to the original history, the Tang Dynasty officially attacked the Turks next year. It was his appearance that caused This national war started nearly a year earlier. Don’t underestimate this year. Because of the continuous snowstorms, the Turkic national strength a year later will definitely not be the same as it is now. It was because of him that this national war started. The difficulty increases exponentially!
Therefore, he can neither slow down nor stop!
"I understand Mr. Wenji's kindness! I also understand the truth you said! But there are some things that can't just be let go!"
Having said this, Li Zexuan stood up, patted the grass clippings on his butt, and then smiled with relief and said: "Haha! I just got into trouble for a while and like to think wildly. After some guidance from my husband, I am much better now! Thank you Wen Ji gentlemen!"
Although Li Gang only gave him a few words of advice and did nothing, let alone actually solved the problem, for Li Zexuan, this was enough! In fact, all he needs is someone who can understand him and listen quietly to him! Everyone has a fragile side, and Li Zexuan is no exception!
But coincidentally, after attending the funeral of the fallen guard of the academy last time, it was Li Gang who enlightened him when he was depressed and felt remorse. This time when he felt exhausted physically and mentally and confused about the way forward, it was Li Gang who came to help him. A guide!
It seems that every time he becomes fragile and confused, Li Gang, an old man full of wisdom, will appear by his side in time and enlighten him with words full of wisdom. Whatever is hidden in his heart will be revealed under those wise eyes. , it seems that there is nothing to hide, and in the end he can always get strength from Li Gang and regroup and move forward!
Li Zexuan not only admired this old man, but also thanked him from the bottom of his heart!
"Haha! Why should you be so polite, Chief? I didn't help the Chief from the beginning to the end!"
Li Gang quickly waved his hand and said.
At this time, he became the old gentleman of the academy again, and Li Zexuan became the mountain chief of the academy again!
"No! Sir, you have helped me a lot! Oh, the ground is cold, come on! Mr. Wenji, let me help you up!"
After saying that, Li Zexuan bowed down, lifted Li Gang up from the grass with both hands, then bowed and said: "The kid was confused for a moment, thank you sir for enlightening me! When things here are arranged, I will leave Lantian County and set off for the military camp. , the academy is leaving it to you and Mr. Kong Gui! But if the academy encounters the last critical situation again, you must never come forward again, you are the Dinghai Shenzhen of Yanhuang Academy!"
Li Gang couldn't help stroking his beard and said: "Haha! The mountain leader is joking. With my old arms and legs, even if I want to stand up, I'm afraid I'm powerless~!"
Li Zexuan said with a smile: "Okay! It's getting dark soon, I'll take you back to the other courtyard!"
"Haha! Okay! Okay! Then I'll have to work hard!"
Li Gang thought for a while and finally nodded in response.
… … … … … …
"Haha! Hao'er, tell me how the exam went today?"
As night fell, thousands of lights lit up the entire city of Chang'an, including the Lin family courtyard and the front hall. At this time, Lin Wenyuan was accompanying his wife and son to finish their meal. The food on the table was very rich, including chicken, duck, fish, and delicacies. Because this is equivalent to giving Lin Hao a feast. During the dinner, Lin Wenyuan couldn't help but ask.
He was busy with business outside during the day and didn't come back until dark. He didn't have time to ask about Lin Hao's exam situation before dinner. At this moment, he suddenly remembered his son's exam today. How could he bear not to ask
"Um...Dad, it's stable! It's stable!"
When Lin Hao heard his father ask about the exam, he immediately became energetic, because this seemed to be the most proud thing for him in the past ten years in front of his father, so he quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, and His face was excited and he said:
"Dad! My child will definitely pass the Yanhuang Academy this time! Don't worry!"
Although Lin Wenyuan was happy when he heard this, he still had some doubts, so he couldn't help but ask: "Oh? Haoer, are you so confident?"
"Hey! Of course!"
Lin Hao chuckled and said proudly: "Dad, please listen to my son's analysis for you. First of all, although the Confucian classics section is not my specialty, there are four questions in it that are iron... Well, they are questions that Mr. Han has given me before. , each of these four questions is worth 15 points, so I can get at least 60 points in the Classics section!
As for the moral test, I did it according to the method Mr. Han taught me. Even if I couldn’t get a perfect score, I would definitely get an 80% score! The last step is arithmetic. This year’s arithmetic questions are very difficult, and I learned arithmetic from Mr. Han. I worked hard on it. I remember that most of the candidates in our examination room didn’t even finish the questions, but I not only finished it , and checked it again.
In addition, arithmetic has a relatively high weight in the overall score, so I can definitely use my arithmetic scores to make up for the shortcomings in the Confucian classics! I think my test scores this time should be higher than Mr. Han’s scores last year! So I can definitely get into Yanhuang Academy! "
Hearing what Lin Hao said was so sworn and well-organized, Lin Wenyuan had to believe it even if he didn't believe it. When he thought that his son actually had the opportunity to enter a holy place of scholarship like Yanhuang Academy, Lin Wenyuan was so excited that his eyes turned red. Da comfort said:
"Okay! Okay! Okay! It's rare for my son to be so confident. Dad believes in you! Hahaha! Our Lin family will finally have a scholar. The ancestors of the Lin family will feel honored because of you, Haoer! Come on, Haoer, have a drink with your father!"
After saying that, Lin Wenyuan asked the maid to pour a glass of wine and raised his glass.
"Dad, didn't you let me drink?"
Lin Hao licked his mouth and said hesitantly.
"Hahaha! I'm happy for my father today! Just drink it!"
Lin Wenyuan laughed when he heard this.
It can be seen that he is very happy at this time, so much so that he is a little carried away with joy!
"Um?"
At this moment, Mrs. Lin, who was sitting next to her, gave a faint "Hmm" and said angrily: "What are you drinking? Master, why don't you abide by the rules you set yourself? Hao'er, he is still old at his age. Xiao, do you want him to become an alcoholic from an early age?"
The tone of voice revealed dissatisfaction everywhere!
Lin Wenyuan immediately shrank his neck, then coughed in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Ahem! Madam, that's right! Hao'er is still young, so it's really not suitable to drink! Then... I'll drink it by myself! I feel happy today. Na~!"
After that, Lin Wenyuan had no choice but to drink the wine in one gulp!
"That's pretty much it!"
Mother Lin rolled her eyes at her husband, and then said: "Our son has made great achievements, so naturally he should be happy and celebrate, but this is not the way you celebrate, sir? What's more, Yanhuang Academy hasn't released the results yet. After the results are released, Mother Lin rolled her eyes at her husband. It’s never too late to celebrate!”
"Yes, yes! Madam is right! I am too impatient!"
Lin Wenyuan nodded repeatedly, then he looked at Lin Hao and asked: "Haoer, when will the academy release the results?"
Lin Hao thought for a while and said, "In three days?"
"Three days? Okay! Then I will wait for another three days!"
Lin Wenyuan nodded. Although he was anxious, he could only wait silently!
"Hehe! Dad, Mom, I'm full. Eat slowly. I'm going back to the backyard!"
Lin Hao put down his chopsticks and said.
After that, without waiting for Lin Wenyuan and his wife to respond, they rubbed oil on their soles and disappeared! As if something good was waiting for him in the backyard.
"Hey! This brat must have gone back to the backyard to read the novels he has accumulated over the past few months!"
Looking at the direction Lin Hao was leaving, Lin Wenyuan couldn't help laughing and cursing.
