"Old man, if you are like this, you are giving up the good and chasing the weak!"
"Case Chief Xu is the pride of our Anshun County. How could you let him waste his time and neglect his studies like this?"
"Brother Yuanxu's talent may win the title of Jieyuan and make our Anshun County famous!"
…
A group of people started to criticize Mr. Xu one after another.
Mr. Xu was quite confused.
At first, when seeing so many people coming to visit his young son, Mr. Xu was still thinking about how to entertain them.
After all, visitors are guests.
But in this current situation, all the bad visitors come.
"Third brother!"
Mr. Xu was so angry that he couldn't just get angry at these people, so he decisively brought his youngest son to him.
"father!"
When Xu Laosan saw Mr. Xu, he quickly said, "This is really not what I meant!"
"Dear classmates, I beg you all, please stop saying a few words!"
Xu Laosan was also speechless.
In the past, his friendship with these people was really just casual acquaintances. Some of them were just casual acquaintances who met each other occasionally.
But now this group of people came together, one or two, as if they were all his best friends, thinking about his future.
"Brother Yuanxu, please rest assured!"
"We will definitely give you an explanation for what happened today!"
The person who spoke was surprisingly Li Tuo, who passed the imperial examination together with Xu Laosan. They both passed the government examination in the first class. Although Li Tuo ranked lower, the first class is a Linsheng and has his own monthly rice supply from the court.
Li Tuo's family is much different from old Xu's family.
But even so, Li Tuo never worked in the fields during busy farming periods. The entire Li family devoted themselves to Li Tuo's studies and did not allow him to be distracted in the slightest.
After all, all things are inferior, only reading is superior.
"Mr. Xu, I see that your family's circumstances are not bad, so why do you insist on forcing Brother Yuanxu to work in the fields?"
"Since you sent Brother Yuanxu to study, you should let him concentrate on nothing else."
"If Brother Yuan Xu, Qiu Wei, comes out on top again and wins Jieyuan, won't your old face also be glorious?"
Li Tuo looked like he was sincerely worried about the old Xu family, which really made Mr. Xu want to punch him.
The glory on the face
Can it be spent as money, or can it be eaten as steamed buns
Mr. Xu looked at Li Tuo, who was seriously trying to reason with him, and felt that he was just a fool who had lost his mind in reading. Compared with this kind of person, his second son is much smarter.
"Old man, my family's financial situation is much worse than yours. But my parents and elder brother are all dedicated to supporting my education!"
"Parents should love their children for the long term!"
"Old man, you love Brother Yuanxu, right?"
Li Tuo looked at Mr. Xu with extremely sincere eyes.
"Brother Li!"
When Xu Laosan heard what Li Tuo said, his expression changed immediately, "Please be quiet about my family's affairs!"
"Everyone, I am busy with farming at home and it is difficult to entertain guests. I apologize for the poor hospitality!"
"please--"
Xu Laosan directly made a gesture to see off the guests.
"Brother Yuanxu, you are confused!"
Li Tuo was told this by Xu Laosan, but he directed his words towards Xu Laosan's education, "How can you not tell right from wrong at this time?"
"Everything is inferior, but reading is superior!"
"In the future, if you are named on the gold medal list, will you still be able to mistreat your parents and brothers?"
"The more they pay for you now, the more they will repay you in the future."
…
Faced with such a plausible Li Tuo, Xu Laosan suddenly had the same idea as his father and wanted to give Li Tuo a beating. Fortunately, he used to think that Li Tuo was a noble man from a poor family with lofty ambitions, but now he realized that he was just a guy whose head was caught by the door panel! (End of chapter)
