Chapter 437: The Scholar's Daughter Who Was Drained of Everything and Died Tragically (1)
Hou Yaozong didn't believe it, so he ran to Li Fan's house to see what was the reason why he didn't open a private school in this life.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived at Li Fan's house, he happened to meet Liu Yufei who was taking little Linlang out.
When Hou Yaozong heard passers-by calling Liu Yufei "Mrs. Li Xiucai", he was stunned. Why didn't she die?
Could it be that Li Fan remarried in this life?
It is possible. After all, there is a saying that a man would remarry within a hundred days after his wife's death.
Now, if Li Fan remarries in this life, will he open a private school again?
After all, the reason why Li Fan opened a private school in his previous life was to take care of his young daughter, and that was why he gave up the imperial examination. Now that he has remarried and has someone to take care of his children, will he still give up the imperial examination?
Hou Yaozong found it hard to accept this reality.
He followed Liu Yufei for a few more days, and discovered a reality that made him even more devastated. Li Fan’s original wife was really not dead. This was not some step-wife, but Li Fan’s original wife, the one who should have died three months ago!
After learning the truth, Hou Yaozong returned home in a daze.
Sitting on the bed in the bedroom, Hou Yaozong's mind was full of his past life. After he entered Li Fan's private school, because he was smart and studious, Li Fan patiently taught him. He soon passed the examination for Tongsheng Gongheng, then the examination for Xiucai, and married Li Linlang.
Especially after marrying Li Linlang, his future became even brighter. With the connections of Li Fan and Li Linlang's grandfather, his road to imperial examinations was extremely smooth. Li Linlang was good at making money, so he never worried about money, and later he even had a large industry in the capital.
As Hou Yaozong thought about it, he grinned, but as he smiled, his face turned gloomy again.
Why, why is this life different?
Why didn't Li Fan's original wife die in this life?
Why doesn’t Li Fan open a private school? If he doesn’t open a private school, where will he go to study?
The more Hou Yaozong thought about it, the more unwilling he became. No, he had to go and learn from Li Fan, and everything had to be the same as in his previous life!
His Yujiao is still waiting for him in the capital!
Hou Yaozong's expression became more and more determined.
He jumped out of bed and ran to find his father.
"Dad, I want to study with Mr. Li. I don't want to go to the private school you mentioned!" Hou Yaozong ran to his father and said anxiously.
Father Hou put down the wood carving in his hand and looked at Hou Yaozong in surprise, "Why? Scholar Li has already spread the word that he will participate in the autumn examination three years later. He will not accept any students. You should just go to the private school I have selected for you."
After saying that, he ignored Hou Yaozong and continued with the work in his hands.
But Hou Yaozong was unwilling, "Oh, Dad, the knowledge of the teacher in that private school is far inferior to that of Li Xiucai. Only with Li Xiucai's enlightenment and guidance, I will be able to increase my knowledge and pass the imperial examination!"
That’s right, Hou Yaozong’s goal in life is to become the number one scholar!
In his previous life, he was only one step away from becoming the top scholar, which was a pity. In this life, he must become the top scholar, or even the top three!
Hou's father thought Hou Yaozong was being unreasonable and said, "Stop it. Li Xiucai will not accept any students. Just go to the private school and register. I will take you to meet the teacher tomorrow."
Seeing that his father did not agree to his request, Hou Yaozong was so anxious that his face turned red. He unwillingly grabbed his father's collar and said, "Dad, please, I just want to worship Li Xiucai as my teacher. Following Li Xiucai, I will definitely pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar in the future. Dad, please!"
Hou's mother, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard her son's pleading and came over. "What's wrong?"
When Hou Yaozong saw his beloved mother coming, he quickly let go of his father's clothes and grabbed his mother's clothes instead, "Mom, I want to take Li Xiucai as my teacher and learn from him so that I can take part in the imperial examination, but Dad doesn't agree."
Mother Hou naturally knew Li Fan. She looked at her eldest son in embarrassment and said, "Well, Mr. Li is going to take part in the autumn exam and won't accept any students. Yaozong, be good and go to the private school that your father has found for you, okay?"
"No, I want to take Li Xiucai as my master!"
Hou Yaozong is the only child of Hou's mother, who has been spoiled since childhood. She couldn't stand the child's pleading, so she looked at Hou's father helplessly and said, "Master, how about you go to Li Xiucai's house?"
Father Hou sighed and put down the things in his hands, looking at Mother Hou, "They have to take part in the autumn exam, how can they waste their time for a little boy? For them, it is very difficult to read books for twelve hours a day, how can they have time to teach? So, don't think too much."
After saying that, Hou's father stood up, brushed off the sawdust on his body, and went into the house.
Leaving behind Hou's mother who looked embarrassed and Hou Yaozong who looked reluctant.
