Chapter 187 Ghosts(2/2)
"Li Xiuyuan, a late student, has met Mr. Qiao." Li Xiuyuan saluted.
This Mr. Qiao is dressed like a scholar, so obviously he is also a scholar.
"Late student? Are you also a scholar?" Mr. Qiao put away his contempt, became serious, and returned the gift.
"The late student is a child born in Guobei County. He just took the college entrance examination last month." Li Xiuyuan said.
When Mr. Qiao heard that Li Xiuyuan was a boy student and was about to be admitted as a scholar, his face immediately became much kinder: "What article will be tested at the end of this college examination?"
"It's an article about governing the country and bringing peace to the country." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Still the same old thing, no new tricks." Mr. Qiao shook his head and smiled: "How did you write it?"
"Cultivation of one's mind, one's family, and the rule of the country bring peace to the world. The first thing to do when one is late is to have a right mind. Since ancient times, to govern a country is to govern people, and to govern people is to govern the mind. A disordered mind is the root of all troubles. An official's wrong mind will breed corruption. Corruption
If there is too much, the people will suffer. If the people suffer, the world will be in chaos."
Li Xiuyuan said.
Mr. Qiao nodded and said, "It's quite satisfactory. There's nothing wrong with it, but there's nothing outstanding about it. If there's nothing wrong with it elsewhere, it won't be difficult for me to be a talented person this time."
"For the first college examination, I don't seek skill, only stability." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Not impatient, not bad." Mr. Qiao nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing that Li Xiuyuan, who suddenly came to visit, was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he could be so prudent at such a young age, his future achievements would probably be limitless.
After some exchanges, the relationship between Li Xiuyuan and Mr. Qiao became much closer.
After all, scholars have topics to talk about.
"Master Li, please take a seat. Come and serve some good tea." After some conversation, Mr. Qiao just entertained Li Xiuyuan.
Just after Li Xiuyuan sat down, Mr. Qiao asked again, "Just now, when I heard Mr. Li asked his servants to report, Mr. Li said that this visit was for my daughter?"
"I came here just for your noble daughter." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Is it to propose marriage?"
Mr. Qiao said: "If it is for this matter, Mr. Li, you are here a step too late. Something happened in the house. My daughter has suffered from dementia a few days ago. There is no cure for it, and now she can no longer see anyone."
After saying that, he sighed.
It seemed that from the conversation just now, he was very satisfied with Li Xiuyuan, but because of his special situation, he could only reject Li Xiuyuan.
"Master Qiao misunderstood. Wan Sheng came to visit and did not propose marriage, just to return your noble daughter."
After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, he motioned to the guards waiting outside the door.
