With the recommendation letter in his hand, Li Cheng went back to find time for himself and went to Fengtai Academy.
Although Mingdehou's Mansion has not been used in recent years, and it doesn't say much in the court, it is an old honored family with some connections. The relationship in the master's hands is what the old master left behind.
Sure enough, after the name card and letter were handed over, within a few days, it was decided that Li Chengze would enter the academy.
Li Cheng was not surprised.
After the academic matters were settled, Li Chengze went to see Li Baode again and talked with him for half a day.
Let's talk about the watermelon first.
He had thought about this matter before, it is most suitable for Li Baode to take care of the land affairs, the Li family property is not much, and the watermelon field can be considered as an increase for the family's income, the Li family's vitality was hurt because of Li Chengze's marriage before, and the standard of living Dip a section.
After Li Chengze had money in his hand, he originally planned to buy another 100 mu of land to make up for the gap that Li's family sold at the beginning, but unfortunately the paddy fields around the capital are not easy to buy, and he has not been looking for opportunities, so he temporarily put it aside.
It is not a lie that a family whose economic situation improves can reduce nine out of ten conflicts.
As for Li Baode, he couldn't help being overjoyed when he suddenly heard that the first land could grow things. After asking carefully back and forth, I learned that it is a new kind of fruit, and I have grown it myself at present, so I can't wait to go to the countryside to see it right away.
You must know that before this, Li Chengze hadn't revealed anything about it.
Li Cheng had a good opinion of Li Baode, his father was a bit gentle, he did things very slowly, but had a good temper. Although he does not have great ambition and ability, it is not a problem to keep the family business.
He has been taking care of the Li family property for so many years, and there has never been any major problem.
Now that the watermelon planting is entrusted to him, Li Baode is afraid that he will go to the countryside every now and then.
After finishing this matter, Li Cheng also talked about his going to Fengtai Academy to study.
Moreover, he was playing tricks, blaming Gu Qingci for the reason why he was able to enter Fengtai Academy in his words.
"It's also thanks to Ci'er. Seeing that I seemed to be in distress for several days, she quietly asked the reason from Yuanbao. Knowing that I was a good student, she secretly sent a letter to the Hou's mansion behind my back, and then asked the elder to help me." I wrote a letter and brought a name card." Li Cheng said.
After Li Baode heard this, his expression became much gentler, and he said slowly: "Qingci is a good girl, she was wronged when she married into our family, you have to treat her well."
Li Cheng replied: "It should be so."
Li Baode got breath here, but Gu Qingci still doesn't know about it, so I'm afraid I need to explain it in detail.
Although at this time there was never a woman who would not allow her man to study and earn fame, but Li Chengze was not sure if Gu Qingci would make trouble, after all, that girl has never been a "virtuous" person.
Fengtai Academy will have two days off every half a month, and they usually live in the academy and never come back.
It is simply possible to spend some energy on Cuju now, but Li Chengze needs to help take care of it first.
At present, Gu Qingci still doesn't know the real intention of Cuju, and Li Chengze is not in a hurry to tell her.
Gu Qingci's figure is that of flesh and blood Yunting, she is not very thin, let alone a delicate girl who takes a step and pants twice. The age is right, fifteen years old, in Li Chengze's view, it should be the time when he is full of vigor and energy.
She has a good appetite when eating, but Li Cheng doesn't allow her to be picky eaters. She is fed with soup and water, and her face looks as red as white.
If Gu Qingci is a girl who sits quietly in the room every day and doesn't take two steps all day long, then Li Cheng really has to worry that her body and spleen will become weak.
At this time, there is no such thing as women exercising and keeping fit, but demure and delicate are considered beautiful.
Li Cheng felt that there is a saying that is true, the elderly are sleepy, the sick and the sick are trapped to death, which shows that people will go wrong if they don't move.
The next day, Li Cheng bought a few bows outside, and coaxed Gu Qingci to play with the girl. There were two big maids in the house, two small maids, and a maid who ran errands. That's five, and Gu Qingci has six. one.
Let Gu Qingci play in the yard for half a day, and get acquainted with Xia Zhuju first.
She is lively and active by nature, she was sweating profusely after juggling this half-day effort, but she felt that it was not enjoyable.
However, the girl's family is more or less daughter-in-law, and You Li Cheng takes her to play with her, which has to be said to be a bit pampering.
Li Cheng was the first to see the problem, Gu Qingci was wearing a beautiful layered skirt, which was extremely inconvenient, and he was afraid that he would have to order special clothes in the future.
Gu Qingci let the maid dry herself, and said, "I just don't know if Shuyue can get her mother to agree."
Li Cheng thought that people would definitely not refuse, it was not a secret that Yan Guo's envoys came to court, and Liu Shuyue's father was a first-rank official, so the news was probably better known than Lord Gu Hou.
Although the sage didn't say it clearly, the meaning was there, and the subordinates figured out that they only cooperated secretly, so how could they stop it.
If this left a knot in the Holy Spirit's heart and affected his official career, it would be too late to regret it in the future.
That's why Li Cheng is not worried that the Cuju team will not be able to organize in the future, because the person standing behind it is the emperor.
Gu Houye was very knowledgeable, so he seized this opportunity and made an appointment with the emperor.
These thoughts just flashed by in an instant, Li Cheng looked at Gu Qingci with a faint smile, and said, "Don't worry, she will agree."
Gu Qingci only thought that he was casually saying words of comfort, and didn't take it to heart.
Unexpectedly, two days later, Liu Shuyue asked the servant girl to send a letter, saying that her mother had agreed to her, and that she could find two more people to participate in Cuju together.
He also asked Gu Qingci to draw up a charter and make an appointment with them when it is done.
Gu Qingci thought that Liu Shuyue was talking about the two girls from the second room of the Liu family, so he asked the maid who came to pass the message.
The servant girl smiled and said: "But it's not true. Our second wife said earlier that the two Tang ladies have been weak since they were young, and they can't play with such things."
Gu Qingci could even hear the evasion in the words, thinking that the talented women from Jiangnan were high-spirited and looked down on such "rude" things.
Gu Qingci snorted softly, she didn't even bother to play with them.
Gu Qingci was very happy to get the exact news, while Li Cheng saw that she was in a good mood, so he had to take this opportunity to tell her about going to Fengtai Academy to study.
Gu Qingci was stunned for a long time, looking like he hadn't recovered.
Li Cheng thought to himself that this girl would not depend on him so far
With a smile on his face, he said: "Blame me, I didn't tell you earlier, do you feel uncomfortable?"
It's okay not to say this, but as soon as Gu Qingci said it, tears rolled out of Zeng's eyes.
She immediately turned her back, covering her face with her hands.
Li Chengze sighed inwardly, went over to hug Gu Qingci, pulled a handkerchief from her waist to wipe her tears, and coaxed her again and again.
He whispered: "Don't cry, I will come back every half a month after school, if you miss me, you can go to the academy to see me..." This is the truth, there are many students studying in the academy who are married, and there are also children. Family members to visit the statement.
Gu Qingci, on the other hand, immediately wiped his eyes when he heard this, and said, "Who misses you, who wants to see you, so I'm not ashamed."
"Okay, okay, I'm not ashamed, I'm not ashamed, I want you to visit me." Li Cheng said with a smile.
After crying for a while, Gu Qingci had already calmed down, she was not as uncomfortable as when she first heard the news.
I began to resent myself for not being up to date, why I was about to cry after hearing two sentences, and I was ashamed to death.
I also know that studying is such an important matter, and the wife of other families probably has to persuade her husband to make progress every day, and there is no crying like her.
However, Gu Qingci felt uncomfortable.
Li Cheng knew Gu Qingci so well that he could almost guess her thoughts.
At this time, I can only comfort. The most useful way is to compare yourself with others. First, say that you are close, that you are in the capital, and you have vacations every month. And look at some people, the man travels thousands of miles to study, is thousands of miles away from his wife, children and parents, and cannot see each other all year round, that is pitiful.
After talking about a few examples like this, Gu Qingci felt much better and gradually calmed down.
It is true that everything is afraid of comparing with others.
It's better to know yourself than yourself.
After figuring it out, Gu Qingci finally thought about asking, "Sir, are you talking about Fengtai Academy?"
It is impossible for Gu Qingci not to know the fame and reputation of Fengtai Academy, and it is incredible just because he knows it.
Li Chengze has no name, no talent, and no family background, and now he has entered Fengtai Academy, which is not unbelievable.
Li Cheng raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and said: "You are so bold, dare to tease your husband?"
Gu Qingci made a grimace.
After making a fuss, I finally exposed this stubble.
The Sun family and the Bai family naturally knew through Li Baode that their grandson was going to study in Fengtai Academy.
Although reluctant, but more happy.
It was also said that he was able to go to Fengtai Academy because of Gu Qingci and the Hou Mansion, and when Sun saw Gu Qingci again, he was even more kind-hearted.
She doesn't ask Gu Qingci too much now, as long as her heart is toward her grandson, everything is easy to talk about.
Not to mention that Gu Qingci is becoming more and more sensible now.
Li Cheng mentioned to the old lady privately that Gu Qingci is still young and his body is not open, so let's not worry about the child, and besides, he must focus on reading now, and there are many other things that will cause trouble. He's distracted, and in the end it doesn't backfire.
For Mrs. Sun, in the past, ten or a hundred sentences of other people in the past could not match Li Chengze's sentence.
Although she wanted to hug her great-grandson very much in her heart, but Li Cheng even spoke up, and she could only accept it temporarily, but there was a bottom line.
Sun Shi said with a grimace: "Since you said that grandson's wife is young, I will allow you to work hard for another year at most, but sixteen years old is not too young. How many people have become mothers at this age, but you are not so particular about it."
In fact, Sun's love for Li Chengze is more, he is not younger than Gu Qingci, Li Chengze is already twenty-one this year, at his age, many people's children can run and dance, but he is so empty, When socializing with friends abroad, it is inevitable that people will not hear a few jokes.
If it weren't for Li Cheng's sudden experience of going to Fengtai Academy, Sun would never agree to this ridiculous request in her opinion.
Who let Li Cheng go to Fengtai Academy is due to Gu Qingci.
Settle the family affairs, and then fight Li Baode about the watermelon field, and Li Cheng will go to the academy to report.
He still didn't forget that Tete went to an embroidered shop to order clothes, and ordered a few sets of suits that were suitable for sports, of course, they were not the modern jerseys.
It's not so out of line, Li Cheng's main purpose is that the team uniform can give them a sense of belonging and cohesion.
In the previous dynasty, there was a Hu suit worn by a daughter's family on horseback and hunting. It was most heroic and energetic when worn. Hu clothing is not as diverse and complex as Central Plains clothing. Generally, it consists of close-fitting shorts, trousers and leather boots. With a little improvement, it can be used as a Cuju team uniform.
After listening to Li Chengze's appeal, the embroiderer master in the shop had a solid idea and accepted the business.
