Chapter 78 Repaying the favor (Part )
  With the endorsement of the Criminal Division, it was natural for Li Qinglin to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs and become a citizen.

After understanding the purpose of Li Qinglin's visit, the official in the household carefully verified the fate deed and the letter from the punishment department.

"Tenant of the royal residence, sixteen years old, martial artist, flag bearer?"

Seeing this, the soap official couldn't piece this information together into one person no matter what.

His originally lazy expression became solemn, he looked at Li Qinglin repeatedly, and silently sighed in his heart that he would be a terrible person.

The official took out a thick file, added Li Qinglin's name to it, asked Li Qinglin to press his fingerprints, and explained in detail the various benefits and benefits of the medium household.

Not to mention various tax exemptions, the most important thing is that it can also bless blood relatives, allowing the lower-class miscellaneous households to take a step forward and no longer be at the bottom of society.

In addition, you can even spend money to buy tenant servants and servants!
  It is no exaggeration to say that you can reach the sky in one step!
  ……

After Li Qinglin left, the clerk in the household looked at his leaving figure, shook his head, and sighed.

I think he has been struggling in the officialdom for decades, with ups and downs. To this day, he can only live in a middle-class household. He has to accept assessments every year. If he slacks off, there is a risk of being banned.

How can he compare to this young man just now? The great power belongs to himself. It is still unknown where he will go in the future.

Just as he was thinking about it, someone walked in from outside the room.

"Lao Gao, why are you here so early today to exchange money? We're in a good relationship, so I figured I'd have to work an early shift..." Zaoli said with a smile.

The man called Lao Gao smiled helplessly and said,
  "Yesterday I went to guard the city gate, and I made some extra money.

I went to have a drink, but the tigress at home locked me out and didn't enter the house all night. Just come early to enjoy the value! "

Hearing this, Zaoli laughed loudly, made some jokes, and said casually,

"By the way, a young man just came to enter the household registration. He is from a medium-sized household. Looking at the records, he is a new Zhang Qi from Ti Xing."

"Oh? But which family is rich, or the son of which military commander?"

Lao Gao yawned, walked to the table, and looked at the file that had not yet been closed.

The sleepiness disappeared, and the open mouth could not be closed, and his eyes were staring at the three words Li Qinglin.

He suspected that it was just the same name, so he looked at the resume and household registration information of the name, and checked it several times.

At last,
  He raised his head in a daze, but the figure of the young man with a slightly flattering smile who gave him money yesterday and asked how to get out of his household registration appeared in his mind.

He only felt a little chill on his back, and was secretly glad that he was doing things honestly.

I said everything that needed to be said, and not a word that I shouldn't have said!

……

"Huh? Brother Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you feeling well lately?"

Outside Fuwen Hall, the book club is over.

Wearing a plum red skirt, Gao Jingshu slightly outlined her slender waist. Just as she was about to board the carriage, she was stopped by Li Qinglin, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

"Li went to serve in the army a few days ago and just returned to the city." Li Qinglin replied.

Hearing this, Gao Jingshu nodded clearly and looked at the execution token hanging on Li Qinglin's waist without revealing her eyes.

"I stopped the girl rashly today, but it was Li who had an unspoken request." Li Qinglin bowed his hands.

"Brother Li, you're welcome. We have known each other for many days and can also be called book friends. If the little girl can help, it doesn't matter."

Gao Jingshu stepped off the bench, her skirt swaying in the wind, and the rusty plum blossom pattern on it seemed to come to life, exuding a light fragrance.

Li Qinglin nodded and handed the rouge gift box he bought to the maid next to Gao Jingshu.

It is natural to give gifts when asking for help.

These rouges are not cheap. They are the signature products of Taoxige Pavilion, the most famous rouge shop in the outer city. They cost Li Qinglin three taels of silver.

He still went to Luoyan Taoist Temple in advance to find Wen Tiexin and sold her the snake bone in his hand, which relieved his financial constraints.

The maid looked at Gao Jingshu with questioning eyes. Gao Jingshu kept the smile on her face and nodded lightly.

"However, my foolish brother used to study in a private school in a shanty town. I felt that there were people playing and selling things on the streets, which was not a good place to live and study for a long time, so I planned to move my family to the outer city in the near future.

I wonder if Miss Gao knows any of the colleges? Can you recommend one or two? "

Hearing this, Gao Jingshu showed surprise and praised,
  "Brother Li, no matter how virtuous you are, this little girl is naturally willing to help you with this favor."

Gao Jingshu pondered for a moment and said,
  "My father knows the director of Hanshan Academy, Wang Shouren, and he happens to have several disciples. Last year, he took the literary test and went to the state capital, but a spot was vacant.

In this way, I will go back and chat with my old man, and I will give you a sure letter tonight at the latest. "

Hanshan Academy?

Wang Shouren?
  Li Qinglin seemed to have heard of these names somewhere, but he used to stay in the palace, so he didn't think much about it at the moment.

Li Qinglin looked happy and thanked him one after another. After the two exchanged greetings for a few more words, they watched Gao Jingshu enter the carriage again.

The sound of rutting wheels echoed melodiously on the bluestone slabs.

On the carriage, the maid looked back at Li Qinglin's figure on the roadside, getting further and further away. Then she turned back to look at Gao Jingshu and said with some complaint,

"Miss! Why did you agree to others so casually!

That is Master Wang Shouren, the late emperor's tutor and the enlightenment teacher of the current emperor. Although he was criticized by traitors and demoted to our place, not to mention becoming his disciple, even entering Hanshan Academy, there are many people. Squeeze your head! "

Hearing this, Gao Jingshu smiled softly and said angrily,
  "You little girl, are you still taking care of me? You have short eyes. Have you noticed the token hanging on his waist?"

"Ah? I didn't notice that I was just trying to figure out whether this rouge box is worth anything."

"You! Alas, that's the token of the Criminal Division. Depending on the quality and craftsmanship, it's better to hold the flag."

Gao Jingshu's eyes were quiet and deep, revealing a thoughtful look.

"Brother Li should have been a servant of a certain family in the inner city before, and this service should be the pioneer service when he became an adult.

But after returning from the service, he suddenly transformed into a punishment-bearing flag. The difference between this and the previous was huge. Either he had an adventure during his service, or he had been dormant for a long time and emerged from the abyss, or...

Have both! "

Gao Jingshu continued,
  "For such a person, it is natural to get along with him as soon as possible. I just provide him with an opportunity to get in touch with Uncle Wang.

As for whether he will succeed or not, whether he will be accepted as his disciple or not depends on Brother Li's own ability. But no matter what, he finally accepted this love. ”Looking at Gao Jingshu’s carriage disappearing at the end of the bustling street.

Li Qinlin frowned slightly, but recalled the words he had just exchanged with Gao Jingshu.

Pu Song, who had lent him books many times for free and invited him to escort him to offer incense at the ancestral hall in the shanty towns, did not attend book clubs during this time.

After asking around, I only found out that I went to a shanty town and never saw anyone again.

Li Qinglin had seen a trace of evil spirit in Pu Song's burning Qi and blood before.

Li Qinglin had vague bad thoughts in his heart.

"Brother Pu, could it be that he was poisoned by some evil spirit?!"

……

Li Qinglin came home very late that day, and both Li Qingjing and Li Qingqing were already asleep.

Li Xianshi stopped the spinning wheel, washed the handle, and took out the food from the pot that was still simmering on the steam.

Farmers have always taken food very seriously and are reluctant to throw away leftovers.

Although they were all unfinished food at the banquet, they had not used a few chopsticks, and Li Xianshi deliberately left them for Li Qinglin.

Li Qinglin didn't dislike it at all and started to enjoy it.

While eating, I heard a knock on the door.

"But Mr. Li Qinglin? I am a servant of the Gao Mansion. On the order of Miss Gao, I sent you the introduction to Hanshan Academy."

Li Qinglin pushed open the fence and saw a capable man standing on the road. Although his body was a little thin, his eyes were bright and he was neither humble nor arrogant.

Gao Jingshu is a true believer!
  Li Qinglin sighed in his heart and took the invitation from the hospital.

This introduction seems to be just a thin page of paper, but it has a great effect.

These private schools in shantytowns were built with money from the neighbors. The management of the students was in disarray and the quality of the teachers was also uneven. They could be paid for.

If you want to enroll in an academy of some size, you will need a recommendation letter from the academy, or a letter of recommendation from a respected and respected scholar.

When the servants of Gao Mansion saw that the matter was over, they clasped their fists and saluted, and were about to say goodbye and leave.

Li Qinglin stopped him and asked him to wait a moment.

He then returned to the house, fetched a piece of plain soft satin, and handed it to the servant.

"This satin is hand-woven by my mother. Although it is not worth a few dollars, it is close to the body and soft. Please accept it."

When the servant saw this, his eyes showed surprise.

As a slave, when he was out doing business, he would inevitably receive cold looks from others, but he rarely encountered Li Qinglin like this.

"Thank you, sir!" The servant thanked him and turned to leave.

Close the fence and return to the house.

As he ate, he thought silently,

"Improvement of punishment and introduction to the court, that's it, it's almost done."

……

The next day.

The firewood gate is still open at sunrise, and light and shadow are dancing through the cracks in the fence. The locust flowers on the roadside are all over the ground and no one is sweeping them.

"What? Moving?! Brother, where are we moving to?"

In the Li family house, Li Qingqing's crisp voice sounded, shaking off a petal hanging on the moss in the corner.

In the room, Li Xianshi, Li Qingjing, and Li Qinglin looked shocked.

But Li Qinglin continued to speak without haste,

"Yesterday I had my teeth repaired in the outer city and rented a small courtyard with two entrances. It's just over Suimian Street. It's in a quiet location. You can walk a street or two to the bustling city. There are also many academies and Taoist schools nearby. I will study in the future. Practicing martial arts is extremely convenient."

Regardless of everyone's surprise or anxiety, Li Qinglin asked his younger siblings to go to private school, but said that he would personally pick them up in the afternoon.

Ever since Li Qinglin returned from serving and became a martial artist, he has a certain aura that makes people believe in his every move.

Li Xianshi also vaguely regarded him as the backbone. When he heard the news about the move, he looked dazed and kept mumbling, "It's better to move, it's better to move, so as not to be noisy by them, and stay in peace." , and then busily began to pack up the house and prepare to move.

Li Qinglin walked out of the courtyard and knocked on the door of his neighbor's sister-in-law Gou's house.

Sister-in-law Gou was picking shepherd's purse in the wasteland behind. When she heard a knock on the door, she asked Huzi to open the door.

Li Qinglin only heard the sound of light or heavy, unstable footsteps. Behind the door, a dark-skinned face about the same age as himself was revealed.

"Brother Lin?"

Huzi was surprised, and then hurriedly welcomed Li Qinglin into the house.

Li Qinglin looked at the figure of Hu Zi who was pouring water for him. He was very young and strong, but unfortunately, he was lame.

Huzi's leg was broken by the Luqi Gang half a year ago. Although it was later cured, the root cause of the disease was also left behind.

Mrs. Gou, who was picking vegetables, heard the noise in the house, put down the dustpan, and wiped her hands on her apron.

As soon as she entered the room and saw Li Qinglin, her eyes lit up, and she subconsciously called "Brother Lin" with some intimacy. But suddenly she thought of something, and her behavior became more or less reserved.

Not to mention pinching Li Qinglin's butt again.

Li Qinglin didn't seem to notice Sister-in-law Gou's alienation, but instead smiled and said a few homely things.

Complaining about the muddy roads once it rains, scolding the old leader for being nepotistic and taking advantage of all kinds of benefits, lamenting that various taxes are becoming more and more stringent, and there is no end in sight for those who are full and hungry...

Finally, Li Qinglin said,

"Sister-in-law Gou, I am here to say goodbye to you. We will move away tomorrow to the outer city."

The room suddenly became quiet.
