Almighty Dad - Chapter 138
Although Han Shubo is young, he is keen and thoughtful. All matters in the family, big or small, are kept in his heart. What his sister-in-law Han Xiaodong did made his grandparents and father worry about it. The child has many complaints in his heart. So much to say.
But here, when he met Tong Sheng who kidnapped my sister-in-law, he was born with evil spirits. Seeing that he returned all the money he had cheated on my sister-in-law to his father, he could not help but raise a smirk on his immature face, and went to find Qian Hong behind his father’s back.
Qian Hong knew that he was Han Xiaodong’s nephew, a boy prodigy Han Shubo, he was afraid of his father, but he was not afraid of him, followed him to a remote place, and asked, “What do you want me for?”
Han Shubo raised his eyebrows: “It’s better for you to be a scholar. Otherwise, you think that if you cheat my sister-in-law and return the cheated silver, you’ll be fine?”
“What do you want?” Qian Hong was taken aback for a moment, thinking that I am afraid of your father, how can I be afraid of you? Besides, your father no longer pursues the matter, so what’s the matter with your child?
Han Shubo saw his thoughts, and said leisurely: “No, I guess you won’t be able to pick a scholar.”
Qian Hong was annoyed. He admitted that it was not an upright person to coax Han Xiaodong, but he cursed him for failing in the imperial examination, and this kid is too vicious.
“You are not in the right mind. You deceived my sister-in-law and calculated her money. For a person with bad conduct like you, all the teachers and classmates in the academy know you as a human being. This time the chief examiner is to supervise Chen Yushi. It is said that he is upright. He is upright and selfless, self-denying and devoted to public service, law enforcement is like a mountain, and he especially hates gluttonous people who are corrupt and pervert the law.” Han Shubo said slowly.
Qian Hong froze, he held his neck, and argued: “I haven’t been an official yet, so what does this have to do with me?”
“As a scholar, you are trying to deceive even a woman’s property. Your lord Yu Shi is very aware of such a treacherous villain. Even if you are full of knowledge, he will not take you as a scholar, so that you will have the opportunity to become an official and harm others in the future.” Han Shubo blinked and said seriously.
“You…” Qian Hong’s cheeks flushed, he didn’t know how to refute, he just said: “Master Yushi doesn’t have that much time to pay attention to my childhood, as long as I have real talents and learning, I will definitely be on the list.”
“Let’s wait and see.” Han Shubo smiled indifferently, then turned and left.
Qian Hong clenched his fists, telling himself not to care, but for some reason, he felt a little worried for no reason.
As soon as Han Shubo turned around, he saw his father standing behind him, looking at him with deep eyes and a blank expression on his face. When he suddenly broke out, his secret path was bad, and he was caught doing bad things.
“Let’s go.” Han Ze glanced at him, knowing that he was afraid, not audacious.
Han Shubo hesitated for a moment, and followed his father into the inn room.
The father and son sat down on the chairs, Han Shubo faltered and said, “Father, did you hear that?”
Han Ze picked up his teacup and looked at him lightly. Han Shubo held his heart. He didn’t heave a sigh of relief until his father hummed, and hurriedly said, “I, I just can’t understand…”
“So you’re going to threaten him?” Han Ze was both funny and annoyed. He was a small boy with a lot of thoughts.
Han Shubo saw that his father’s face turned pale, and he became more courageous. He smiled and said, “It’s not a threat, it’s just to scare him so that he can’t take the exam at ease. If he has no bad intentions, he won’t take my words at ease.” Middle. Don’t they all say that if you don’t do anything wrong in your life, you won’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night?”
Han Ze glanced at him and scolded with a smile, “Nonsense.”
“I’m not unreasonable, I’m telling the truth, and I didn’t do anything wrong.” Han Shubo said solemnly, “There are as many as eight classmates who took the exam together. If it wasn’t for Qian Hong’s inappropriate behavior, why should I scare him? Don’t scare others?”
“Father didn’t say that what you did was wrong.” Han Ze said angrily, “You are still young, you should study hard, and you shouldn’t think too much. Daddy is responsible for these things.”
Han Shubo was not convinced: “Father, if I pass the college entrance examination, I will be a scholar. How can I be so young?”
Han Ze glanced at him: “We’ll wait until you become a scholar.”
The implication is that you are not a scholar yet, and it is not time for you to worry about family affairs.
Han Shubo was speechless by his father’s words, who told him that he is not a scholar, but still young?
…
In a blink of an eye, it was the day when the college examination started. Han Shubo and others took the examination basket they had prepared earlier and went to the examination room.
Before entering the examination room, Han Shubo approached Qian Hong and said, “It’s useless if you take the exam, anyway, you won’t pass the exam.”
Qian Hong’s face was gloomy, and he tightly held the test basket in his hand. If Han Ze wasn’t by his side, he would definitely have dealt with this mean-spirited kid.
Han Shubo laughed, and let the guards check his test basket, household registration and other information.
Han Ze watched his son enter the examination room, and drove the carriage back to the inn.
Han Jiwen didn’t come to take the exam this time, but he was lucky enough to pass the final exam and became a child student. With his ability, he was not good enough for the exam.
If the family is rich, it’s okay to try, but their family really doesn’t have much money. Under the suggestion of the master of the school, Han Jixue deliberately or unintentionally persuaded Han Chengming not to allow Han Jiwen to participate in the college examination. Although Han Jiwen was unwilling, he had no choice.
Without Han Chengming and his son to make plans, Han Ze felt that it was very good. After a short rest, he led his family to go shopping outside and buy some rare things that were not available in the county. They bought a lot of rare gadgets and piled them in the inn room, which attracted the envy of other family members who came to accompany the exam.
Five days passed, and Han Ze went to the examination room with several other family members accompanying the examination.
Han Shubo came out of the examination room weakly, carrying the examination basket, and finally understood why his father insisted on letting him exercise. If his body and bones were still as weak as before, he might not have survived the past few days. He witnessed a candidate with frequent diarrhea after eating raw and cold food, and then developed a high fever. Talking about the exam, he shuddered at the thought of it, thanks to his father…
Seeing his son’s sluggish appearance, Han Ze stepped forward to help him into the carriage. The family servant took out the tea and snacks prepared in advance. Han Shubo drank hot tea and ate the snacks before he felt a little alive.
Han Ze smiled and said, “There are quilts in the carriage, let’s sleep for a while.”
Han Shubo hummed, wrapped in a soft quilt, and lay in the carriage as he said, his eyes were so sleepy, but he couldn’t fall asleep anyway.
Han Ze saw it and said nothing.
The rest of the candidates who came with them almost all came out. Although they looked not energetic, they were generally not bad. At least they persisted until the end of the exam, and they did not have symptoms such as fever and diarrhea.
Han Ze glanced and found that Qian Hong hadn’t come out yet, so he paused without making a sound.
Accompanying Qian Hong was his elder brother Qian Ming. Seeing that Qian Hong hadn’t come out, he asked with concern, “Why hasn’t Qian Hong come out yet?”
Liu Yu, a classmate who was close to Han Shubo, said: “My test room is similar to that of Qian Hong, and his condition is not very good.”
As for how bad it was, he didn’t elaborate, and his relationship with Qian Hong was not good.
Just as Qian Ming wanted to ask, an officer carried a person out of the examination room and shouted, “Is Qian Hong’s family here?”
Qian Ming was shocked, and hurried forward, and saw that Qian Hong was unconscious on the stretcher.
Seeing this, several people nearby hurriedly helped carry Qian Hong to Qian Ming’s carriage, and went to a nearby medical center.
Han Shubo also heard the movement in the carriage. He was not at ease about the threat to Qian Hong. He privately thought that Qian Hong was so calculating that he shouldn’t be able to withstand the blow. He didn’t expect so many people to come to the exam together, it would be fine. , but he was carried out from the examination room when he came to the end.
Qian Hong had a book boy and his eldest brother, Han Ze and other family members who accompanied the exam did not go with them, but drove the carriage back to the inn, Qian Hong looked so dangerous, they were also worried about their own candidates, thinking of going back to invite See the doctor and show them.
Han Ze also had the same idea. Although his son’s body and bones have become much stronger after half a year of training, he is still just a child, so he can rest assured after the doctor’s pulse.
Han Shubo took a bath, drank hot chicken soup, filled his stomach, saw the doctor again, and fell asleep on the bed. As for the other candidates, two of them also developed a fever, and their family members were making medicine for them.
When Han Shubo woke up, the fever of the two candidates had subsided, and Qian Hong also came back from the medical clinic. At this time, he was awake, but not in a high mood.
Han Shubo smiled, why Qian Hong was not clear about his emotions, he knew it well, he didn’t pass the exam.
Han Ze was afraid of his head, “You.”
Han Shubo pouted: “It’s not my fault.”
“What does it have to do with you?” Han Ze glanced at him, “It’s not that dad is boasting, you eight candidates, only our family is well-off, and the other families are not rich. They all need to do farm work when they return home. Naturally, his health is not bad, but I overheard Qian Ming mentioning that Qian Hong never did anything except study at home, let alone working in the field. Over time, his body was weak and the environment in the examination room was difficult. He couldn’t bear it and fell ill. It is not uncommon to be unconscious in the examination room.”
Han Shubo nodded in understanding. He already knew the benefits of being strong, and said, “Thanks to Dad for letting me keep exercising, otherwise I might not pass the exam.”
He knew how weak his body was before. During the past six months at home, his father asked his mother to cook nutritious meals for him every day, plus exercise, so his body became stronger day by day.
Han Ze smiled, “Since you know the importance of exercise, don’t complain if Dad asks you to run again.”
Han Shubo: “…”
Han Ze thought for a while and then said: “Qian Hong is narrow-minded. He just passes the exam. If he fails, the words you said before the exam will definitely make him suspicious, and he will probably resent you. If you want Watch out for him.”
Han Shubo raised his face, and said confidently: “If he wins, he won’t take my words to heart. If he fails to win a scholar, he will be jealous and resentful towards me. I am already a scholar, and he can’t do anything to me. Why should I be afraid?” he?”
Han Ze smiled, “So confident?”
“That is.”
Although he can’t be sure of the ranking, he is still very sure about Zhongxiucai. Thinking of this, he glanced at his father and said mischievously: “Besides, Qian Hong bullies the weak and fears the hard. I have a landlord father. Even if he is unwilling, he will I am afraid of my father so I dare not take revenge on me.”
Han Ze nodded with satisfaction. Although this kid is young, he sees things very clearly.
After a few days, the body of the examinees all returned to normal. Even Qian Hong was able to walk around in the ground. Han Shubo and others went to visit him.
When Qian Hong saw Han Shubo, his face was very gloomy. He sarcastically said, “Your curse has come true, are you still satisfied?”
The others were taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Han Shubo.
Han Shubo blinked, “What does it have to do with me?”
Qian Hong snorted coldly: “You cursed me, Bai Kao?”
It seems that what Han Shubo said before the exam still entered his heart. He fell ill again in the examination room, and did not perform well in the examination, obviously he blamed Han Shubo.
Han Shubo said: “You fainted in the examination room, it was because of your poor health, what does it have to do with me?”
Others also thought it was true, if they were strong, how could they get sick and pass out in the examination room?
Qian Hong hummed again.
Han Shubo said again: “Don’t believe it, we candidates have been doing farm work at home since we were young, but you never do anything at home, which makes you weak and unable to withstand the hard days, so you get sick and pass out in the examination room. You can’t blame me.”
Qian Hong’s eyebrows twitched, but the other candidates felt that Qian Hong might fail the exam because he fainted in the examination room, and that he was in a bad mood and randomly involved others, which was a bit irrational.
Qian Ming listened to Han Shubo’s words, but said: “Is what this young master said true?”
Qian Hong’s heart tightened, Han Shubo said with a smile: “Naturally, it is true. A knife will not be sharp if it is not sharpened, and a person will not be a tool if it is not sharpened. If the body does not work or exercise, it will be useless. After a long time, it will become weak. You can Ask other people to see if they have been doing farm work at home since childhood?”
Qian Ming looked at the other candidates, saw them nodding, then looked at Qian Hong, and said, “Little brother, I will do more field work in the future. You were stronger than me when you were young. I have been in the field every day for these years. Doing work, your body is stronger than yours, but your body is ruined because you just study.”
Qian Hong frowned, and said in conflict: “If you don’t grind, you can’t become a weapon, that’s not the saying…”
Han Shubo continued from the side: “It’s almost the same… In short, if you don’t do anything, just sit there and read, your bones will definitely be ruined.”
Qian Ming: “When I go back, I will tell my mother that she won’t let you do some farm work, and she will feel sorry for you. I don’t think it’s because I feel sorry for you, but because I hurt you.”
Qian Hong: “…”
He gritted his teeth and looked at Han Shubo, boy, that’s great!
Han Shubo raised his eyebrows to look at him, what can you do to me?
Waiting for the release date, Han Shubo went to the library in the city and spent a lot of money to buy dozens of books that were not available in the county.
On the day when the rankings were released, everyone arrived at the place where the rankings were released early.
Although Qian Hong had no hope of passing the exam, he still looked at the list with anticipation. Was he lucky enough to pass? He glared at Han Shubo resentfully, brat, I failed the exam, I don’t believe you can pass at such a young age with no hair yet, just wait and see.
When the time came, the guards began to sing the list. Han Ze and others did not step forward, but sat there waiting for them to sing the list. The list started from the bottom.
“One hundred and eightieth place, Liu County, Ma Chengjun.”
“One hundred and seventy-ninth place, Cheng County, Hu Tong.”
…
“Ninety-ninth place, Feng County, Liu Yu.”
Han Shubo smiled, looked at Liu Yu, and congratulated, “Congratulations.”
Liu Yu also laughed. He didn’t expect that he would hit, so he quickly stood up and returned the gift.
“Thirty-two, Feng County, Zheng Xueyi.”
Another student from Feng County passed the exam. This Zheng Xueyi was not a student in their school, and they were not familiar with him.
“Eighteen, Feng County, Zhao Weicai.”
Han Shubo is not familiar with this candidate, but he is also from Feng County, and he may know him in the county school in the future.
“Eighth place, Liu County, Guan Zhe.”
…
“Fifth place. Liuxian, Guan Shuo.”
Liu Yu smiled and said, “Guan Zhe and Guan Shuo have the same surname and the same county. Are they from the same family?”
Han Shubo smiled: “Regardless of whether they are a family or not, Liu County has achieved good results this year, and several of them have already been selected as scholars.”
Qian Hong said sarcastically, “I didn’t expect that only one student in our school passed the examination of scholar this year.”
At this point in the ranking, he no longer had any hope of being a scholar in the exam, but Han Shubo didn’t get in, so he was somewhat comforted.
You Han Shubo cursed me for taking the test for nothing, don’t you also take the test for nothing?
Liu Yu laughed, “I just registered for the fifth place, and with my talent and learning in Shubo, I’m sure I’ll pass the exam.”
Han Ze glanced at his son, and saw that his expression was calm, obviously confident.
Qian Hong snorted, thinking that if he was the chief case in the county, he could still be the chief case in the court?
Han Ze glanced at him, Qian Hong restrained his expression embarrassingly.
“Third place, Liuxian, Li Zhi.”
Liu Yu sighed, “Another candidate from Liu County.”
Han Shubo also had to sigh: “This Liu County is really outstanding.”
“Second place, Hu County, Liu Zhiyuan.”
“Han Shubo used to be the chief of the case in the county, so he is also the chief of the case this time?” Qian Hong looked at Han Shubo with a smile full of sarcasm and complacency.
Han Shubo didn’t look at him and was a little nervous, but he still sat firmly on the chair.
Liu Yu looked at him worriedly.
“First place, Feng County, Han Shubo.”
Qian Hong was taken aback, the smile froze on his face.
Liu Yu stood up in a gaffe, and said pleasantly, “Shubo, you really got the first place in the test?”
Han Shubo smiled, but he was relieved.
Han Ze patted him on the shoulder, looked at the other people, and said with a smile: “Today’s noon, I’m treating guests, you can order whatever you want.”
The other people who didn’t pass the exam were very disappointed. When they heard Han Ze talking about the treat, they lost their disappointment and smiled again. They didn’t make the list.
After the results were announced, the group packed their bags and planned to go home.
As soon as the carriage of Han Ze and his son arrived at the gate of the garden, they saw that the garden was full of spectators.
“My dear grandson is back.”
Before the father and son had time to get off the carriage, Han Maode came running like the wind, his movements were even more agile than that of a young man, obviously he already knew about the scholar in the book fair.
Han Ze clicked his tongue, looked at Han Shubo, and jokingly said: “It seems that you are a scholar and your grandpa is so happy.”
Han Shubo’s face flushed slightly, and he felt that everything was worth it if he could make grandpa happy.
“My dear grandson, you have given grandpa a face.”
Han Maode hugged Han Shubo, and Han Shubo’s smile froze slightly. Why do grandpa and mother like to hug him when they are happy? He has grown up, can he stop hugging?
Ge Hongbu followed behind, and wanted to stretch out his arms to hug his son, but when he saw his father-in-law’s movements, he stood there and wiped away his tears. His son really did her best.
Han Shuxin and her sisters also came out to see her younger brother one after another. After the old man had hugged his grandson enough, Ge Hongbu Niang and his sisters surrounded him.
“Shubo, what is the county like?”
“Are you nervous about the exam?”
“Is there enough food in the test room?”
“How many scholars do you have this time?”
…
There was a lot of chatter, and Han Shubo didn’t know which one to answer.
Han Ze smiled, ignored them, and ordered his servants to move down the things he bought in the county.
After several months of hard life, Han Xiaodong realized his mistake and sincerely confessed his mistake to his parents and elder brothers. At this time, he has moved back to the Han family. Seeing that Han Ze and his son came back, she didn’t go forward, not because she didn’t want to, but because she didn’t dare. Although the eldest brother didn’t say anything about her return, he didn’t forgive her, and she didn’t know what to do.
Out of the corner of Han Ze’s eyes, he caught sight of her and saw that she was worried, but he didn’t respond. As for his younger sister, he could help, but she had to rely on herself to live her life.
After the excitement was over, Han Maode yelled that he wanted to kill a pig. Seeing his son looking at him, he snorted and said harshly, “You promised me that we will kill pigs and invite the villagers to eat?”
Han Ze rubbed his nose and said speechlessly, “I didn’t say I won’t let you kill a pig.”
Han Maode snorted again, “Then what do you see me doing?”
Han Ze felt a little helpless: “There are so many people in our village, and there are three relatives and four friends. One pig is not enough, why not kill two.”
Only then was Han Maode happy, “Okay, let’s kill two pigs and let them eat their fill.”
The people in the village heard that Han Ze wanted to kill two pigs to celebrate Han Shubo’s winning a scholar. They invited the whole village to congratulate, swallowed their saliva, oops, there was meat to eat, and they ran around happily telling each other, and some even expressed their willingness to help.
When someone came to help, Han Zequan greeted him with a smile.
On the day of the banquet, almost all the people in the village came, except for Han Xingwang’s family. Adults and children, old and young, there was no room to sit in the house, and tables were set up in the corridors and in the yard. The mouths of the people were full of oil, and they were beaming and making noise for three days before stopping.
Han Xingwang, Liu Juhua, and his wife couldn’t come if they wanted to. One of them had a broken leg, and the other had a broken waist.
Although Liu Juhua was lying on the bed, someone told her that Han Shubo was a scholar, and that Han Ze slaughtered pigs and invited the whole village to celebrate. She snorted, “White-eyed wolf, my old lady can’t move on the bed, and she didn’t even say to come and see me. It’s a waste of money.” lost this son.”
Han Xingwang became angry in bed these days, he said impatiently, “Have you raised him yet?”
But Fan Liujuhua has some sincerity towards Han Ze, so why did it lead to this situation? He felt that Liu Juhua was to blame for all of this. It was because she was so cruel that her own son could be ignored for several years, which led to Han Ze’s prosperity now, and she ignored her mother.
Liu Juhua was also very unhappy, and said angrily, “Why didn’t I ask him? Others don’t know the reason, so why don’t you know?”
Han Xingwang choked, pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Seeing that he was silent, Liu Juhua snorted: “Han Ze is not filial, I don’t think Chengming Chengzong is very filial, if it weren’t for their fight, we would be lying in bed but not getting up? Now we can’t do anything. , Let them wait for two days, complain about this and that, think we are annoying. What did you do?”
Han Xingwang’s face was gloomy, and he was also chilled by his three sons. He stabbed: “My three sons are not filial, so you can count on Han Ze to go.”
Liu Juhua rolled her eyes: “If you count on Han Ze, you count on Han Ze. I didn’t talk about it when I was well. Now that I’m sick, he should treat me. Maybe he’ll be happy when he wins a scholar in the book fair. Please let me know.” My mother-in-law waits on me.”
Han Xingwang said in his heart, Qing just wait.
Han Maode finally invited the whole village to dinner, he was very proud, he walked with wind.
Han Ze looked at him like that, maybe this matter would make him happy enough to be promoted in the book fair, he said with a smile: “Let’s make a selection in the book fair, let’s kill two more pigs and invite the whole village to eat.”
Han Maode hesitated for a moment, but felt a little bit reluctant. He frowned and said, “Two pigs can be sold for a lot of money!”
I’m not worried at all about my grandson failing the exam.
Han Ze jokingly said: “All the scholars in the book fair have invited guests, but the Zhongju people have not invited guests. Are you not worried that others will say that our family is stingy?”
Han Maode glared, and snorted: “The two pigs are willing to kill, how can you be stingy?” Then he said: “Kill, kill it, kill it, anyway, you have a lot of money.”
Besides, the grandson has become a juren, so he should celebrate.
Han Ze didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, it wasn’t you who wanted to kill him, and now he couldn’t bear it anymore.
After becoming a scholar, Han Shubo no longer needs to go to the school in the town to study. The county official school will not be able to enter school until August. Now it has just entered March, and there are still several months left. Han Ze spends all day planting flowers in the garden, laughing He said to Han Shubo: “Now you are also a scholar, and you are more knowledgeable than your father. I will leave it to you to teach my sisters how to read.”
Han Shubo took over his father’s work seriously, and took the teaching work of his sisters seriously. Han Xiaodong wasted a few months, seeing his nephew teaching some older sisters, he also sat in the study to study.
On the first day of Han Shubo’s teaching, he distributed books to six students. Han Shuxin and her sisters looked at the books in their hands. The second child, Han Shuqing, asked, “Bookbo, is this a travelogue?”
Han Shubo nodded, “This is a manuscript, I transcribed it.”
Han Shuxin asked, “Why are you looking at these?”
She felt it was a waste of time.
Han Shubo said, “Daddy told you to read and write, not just to let you know how to read and write, but to let you understand life and things outside…”
Han Shuxin thought for a while, then nodded silently.
Han Xiaodong looked at the name of the book in his hand, female commandment? Why the female commandment?
She frowned and looked at Han Shubo: “Shubo, why is mine female?”
Han Shubo looked at her. He didn’t like Qian Hong, but he could be easily deceived by Qian Hong, thus disobeying his grandparents and wasting his father’s teaching. In his opinion, this aunt is really frivolous and doesn’t know what it means.
Of course, he shouldn’t have said these words. But since she is sitting here to accept his teaching, she should learn what he teaches.
Thinking of this, he said slowly: “A good book is like a good medicine. Good reading can cure stupidity.”
What?
Han Xiaodong looked at his nephew in disbelief, stupid? The little nephew thinks she is stupid?
Han Shubo raised his eyebrows to look at her, his little face was full of seriousness, and he said solemnly: “The female commandment is a book that I have thought about carefully. Considering the current situation of my sister-in-law, I specially selected it for my sister-in-law. I think she should learn books.”
Han Xiaodong’s eyes widened, “Why should I learn this female commandment?”
Shu Xin’s sisters didn’t learn?
Is the little nephew insulting her? Thinking of this, she was a little annoyed, how could she be Aunt Shubo, how could he be so merciless to her?
Han Shubo said, “Sister-in-law thinks what you’ve done, you shouldn’t learn the female precepts? But I think this book is a good book for you.”
What did you do?
Han Xiaodong’s cheeks flushed, she knew what Shubo was referring to, could it be that the eldest brother asked him to do this? Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little guilty, and stopped talking at the moment.
Seeing her bowing her head in silence, Han Shubo said, “Since you have no objections, let’s finish reading the books in your hands today, and then talk about your thoughts.”
The younger brother taught the class on the first day, Han Shuxin and the sisters were very kind to the younger brother, and sat in their seats to study hard.
Han Xiaodong felt that thinking of her elder brother, he didn’t dare to have any ideas, so he could only sit there depressed and read the female precepts.
