Tibet

Chapter 80
After dinner, Pei Sanniang called her son over.

"Your father came here today, the house deed is done, and this!"

Pei Sanniang handed the admission letter to Li Ye, "Let you study!"

Li Ye frowned, "I don't have time to study, I'm busy!"

"Where are you busy, you don't compete, you hang around all day!"

"I'm not hanging around, there's a lot going on!"

Li Ye suddenly remembered the things in his arms, quickly took out the envelope, and handed it to Pei Sanniang, "Just look at this and you'll know!"

Pei Sanniang is very familiar with the counter ticket of Prince Ning's Mansion, and there will be a counter ticket every time.

Her eyes lit up, and she quickly took it and asked, "How many?"

"look by youself!"

Pei Sanniang hurriedly took out the cash drawer ticket inside, and couldn't even close her mouth from laughing, three thousand coins!
"How come there are so many, isn't there no competition recently?"

"I changed to Tianpeng polo team to play. King Si Ning terminated my contract. He is very sorry and will give me some compensation."

"Changed to Tianpeng team, when did it happen?" Pei Sanniang asked in surprise.

"Just today, I've been busy all day, just for this matter!"

Aunt Mu next to him was puzzled, "That's not enough to give three thousand guan!"

"Ma'am, three thousand guan is a lot for us, but for the royal family and dignitaries, it is only a few meals. Besides, King Si Ning won [-] guan from me, so I take it very comfortably."

To put it simply, just to appease the mother, how can three thousand coins be so easy to earn?King Si Ning is not a boy who spends money.

With three thousand coins, Pei Sanniang was no longer enthusiastic about her son's study.

"This is arranged by your grandfather, you can go or not, it's up to you!"

Hearing that it was arranged by Li Linfu, Li Ye was a little tempted. This must be paving the way for himself!
"Okay! I'll think about it before I say it."

At one watch, Li Ye climbed up to the top of the city from his courtyard. The wall next to his house was the inner city, and there were no soldiers on the inner city wall. Soldiers would usually be on the outer city wall. There are no soldiers, only soldiers standing guard on the top of the city.

Between the inner city wall and the outer city wall is a one-foot-wide lane. Usually, when the emperor goes to Qujiang Pond, he will walk south along the lane.

Li Ye originally wanted to use ropes to cross the narrow road, but later found that it was unnecessary. There was a small bridge more than thirty steps to the south, and he could go directly across.

After leaving the city, Li Ye crossed the moat with the help of several boats. These boats were lined up on the moat, preparing to enter the city early the next morning.

The east of the city is very lively, unlike the deserted west. There are shops and residential buildings on both sides of the official road, and then there are endless vegetable fields. Li Ye rushed eastward along the vegetable field path.

After moving, he couldn't go to Fengshui for training. The closest lake to him was the Free Life Pool in Dongshi, but he thought the Free Life Pool wasn't deep and clean, so he decided to go outside the city.

There is a lot of choice outside the city. Ten miles to the east is Chanshui, thirty miles to Bashui, but if you go ten miles to the south, you will find the famous Qujiang Pond.

Li Ye chose Chanshui in the end. The reason is very simple. Chanshui flows very quickly, and the upper reaches are royal gardens, without villages, and the water quality is very clear.

Li Ye took off his clothes, hid them under a big rock, and jumped into the river with a club in his hand. The current couldn't wash him away, and he gradually sank to the bottom of the river.

Since taking the medicine that Lie Feng gave him, Li Ye obviously felt that he had improved significantly, staying in the water longer, and swinging the club more powerfully.

According to the set of sword techniques Pei Min gave him, Li Ye slashed up and down the bottom of the water, drawing ripples on the water surface.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Ye was woken up by his mother's slap.

"I know you go to bed late at night, but you can't delay your studies. Other students will go out to study in the school when they are in trouble. You are still sleeping here, so get up and go to school?"

Li Ye was sleepy, and moaned in pain under the quilt: "Mother, let me sleep a little longer!"

Pei Sanniang grabbed Li Ye's ear, gritted her teeth and said, "You're going to study!"

Helpless, Li Ye had no choice but to sit up and said: "The admission book said that I should report on the [-]th, and today is only the [-]th. It will be the day after tomorrow!"

"Okay! You should practice your handwriting well today. I don't even know the messy words you wrote. Don't write indiscriminately. The school won't recognize it!"

The characters Pei Sanniang spoke were simplified characters written by Li Ye. Although they looked a bit like vulgar characters, they were still different. The vulgar characters were only used by the people, but they were not recognized by official documents and schools.

Li Ye also understands this point. He has been learning traditional Chinese characters for the past few months, and he can basically write and read the commonly used traditional characters.

"I know, I'll practice calligraphy later!"

"Get up quickly, I don't care about you, I'm going to the medicine hall!"

The business of Pei Sanniang Pharmacy is not bad, people started queuing up after it opened for only two days, she was so busy that day.

Pei Sanniang went out in a gust of wind, only to hear her shouting in the yard: "Ah Zhen, Madam has a bad waist, don't let her carry heavy things, you understand?"

"Got it, ma'am!"

After Pei Sanniang left, Li Ye closed his eyes and took a nap for a while before getting up.

In fact, it is only seven o'clock in the morning, and common people in the Tang Dynasty have to get up at four or five o'clock to get busy with their lives, and it is already a luxury to sleep until seven o'clock.

Li Ye lazily came to wash his face by the well with a copper basin in his hand. At this moment, Ah Zhen asked at the door, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for your son, is 48 Lang there?"

Li Ye was startled, and quickly put down the copper basin and went out, only to see a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy standing at the door, but Li Ye didn't recognize him.

"I'm Li Ye, may I ask who you are, brother?"

The young man clasped his fists and said with a smile, "I'm Li Xun, I'm 37 Lang, and I'm also your neighbor."

Li Ye suddenly realized that this was his cousin, so he quickly smiled and said, "Please come in and sit down!"

The young man walked in, looked around, and smiled at Li Ye: "Our family wanted to buy this small house at first, and we discussed it with the seller, but we still didn't buy it in the end, what a pity!"

"why?"

The young man pointed to the next door, "That old woman had a fight with my mother, and if her family disagreed, we couldn't buy it."

"Elder brother is also my neighbor?" Li Ye asked.

"The opposite side of yours is my house. There are five people in my family, but there is only eight-tenths of the house land. It would be fine to replace it with one mu. Besides, you can also build a horse shed under the city wall here, but our house can't do it. The next door smells bad, no. allow!"

Li Ye wondered, didn't mother say that there are no members of the Li clan in the third district?
After thinking about it, Li Ye suddenly understood that her mother's memory was from the old Huangli 14 years ago.

"Do you need neighbors' permission to build a house in your own home?"

Li Xun nodded, sighed and said, "Our family is relatively weak, there is nothing we can do!"

Li Linfu's grandson actually said that his family is relatively weak?Li Ye felt strange when he heard it.

"I came here to treat your family to a meal. The sore on my mother's back that had grown for two years was cured by your mother's application of plaster. Our family is very grateful."

"Let's talk about it after your mother recovers completely!"

Li Ye had a lot of questions in his mind, so he smiled and said, "Let's go out for breakfast! I'm treating you."

"It should be my treat!"

"Eat breakfast, stop arguing!"

Li Ye took the money bag and went to the street with Li Xun.

The morning in Changlefang is very lively, there are food stalls selling breakfast everywhere, Li Xun pointed to a noodle stall in front of him and said: "His place is clean and tastes good, I often eat noodles at his place!"

"Then let's eat noodles!"

The two sat down at the noodle stall, Li Xun smiled and said, "Two bowls of chicken noodles, please increase the amount!"

"My brother's father is."

"My father is the sixteenth child. He has no future in his life. He works as a steward of the manor in Gaoling County and is away most of the time."

"Could it be that your father is younger than mine?" Li Ye was a little puzzled.

Li Xun shook his head and said with a smile: "It seems that my virtuous brother doesn't know anything? The ranking of brothers among our fathers is not completely according to age. The first five are all sons. How is it possible?

If you sort by age, your father should be ranked around [-], because he is the son of the legitimate son, so he is ranked fifth, and then both the sixth and seventh sons are vacant, reserved for the sons of the legitimate son, but the two wives before and after only gave birth to five sons.

Lao Ba is the eldest son of a concubine. He is over 40 years old. My father is three years older than your father. "

"Then what do you usually call it? Isn't it messed up?"

"How could it be messed up? My father calls your father the fifth brother, and your father calls my father the sixteenth brother. Do you understand?"

Li Ye nodded, "I understand, I didn't expect that even the ranking among the concubines should be paid attention to."

Li Xun smiled wryly: "What's the ranking? The gap between the concubine and the concubine is as big as a gap. The concubine can be an official and also control various important interests of the family. The concubine can only be a commoner and live on five sets of money every month. , but your father used to be in charge of the manor, and it was he who arranged for my father to be in charge of the farm in Gaoling County, so our family's conditions are pretty good!"

Li Ye immediately understood that the father of this 37th Lang and his own father were in the same gang.
