Such a fate

When the shopkeeper was about to make a bet, the three people who followed Lin Dabao also joined in the fun, betting that Lin Sanrong would not be admitted as a Tongsheng.

The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly and wrote their names, and then put their fingerprints on each person.

After finishing, Lin Dabao looked at Lin Sanrong and said: "Uncle, if you lose, you will have to pay two hundred taels of silver. I think you will have to bankrupt everything to pay for it."

Lin Sanrong was actually a little scared, but he couldn't be timid at this time, "It's too early to say anything now, just wait!"

"Okay, then I'll be waiting, let's go."

Lin Dabao and his group left the bookstore. When Lin Erbao went out, he turned back and made faces at Lin Dalang and A Li.

He looked like he deserved a beating.

After Lin Sanrong returned to the inn, he was no longer interested in watching the lanterns.

Ah Li handed him a bunch of candied haws, "Third brother, don't worry, you will definitely pass the exam!"

Lin Sanrong asked her to eat him first before biting one.

"Does Lili trust Third Brother that much?"

He studied very hard, and the new masters all praised him, saying that with his current level, it should not be a problem to take the boy student exam, so he did not refuse when faced with Li Dabao's provocative bet today.

But he is also afraid of eventualities in everything.

Ah Li nodded his head, "I believe Third Brother, and my intuition tells me that you can pass the exam."

"You little girl knows your intuition!"

Ah Li ate the candied haws and went to play with the four men with a smile on his face.

Lin Sanrong also asked Lin Changlu and his wife to apologize. After all, if they lost, they would have a lot of money to accompany them, which would affect the family's future life problems.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Pei was very anxious and angrily cursed Lin Dabao for being such an idiot.

Lin Changlu frowned, thought for a while and said: "I think there is a way to do this. If Lili says you can do it, you can do it. From tomorrow on, you can cheer me up and study hard. After all, there is not much time. I won't care until then."

Whether you can pass the exam or not, our whole family will advance and retreat together with you."

Lin Darong, Lin Errong and Zhang Yan also all agreed that he should not put too much pressure on him.

Lin Sanrong finally relaxed.

As night falls, the whole city is bustling with lights, and the streets and alleys are crowded with people.

Ah Li's eyes widened as she looked at the bustling scene on the street with great curiosity.

The city is full of trees, flowers, lanterns and colorful lights, making it very lively and lively.

There are also many activities on the high platform on the roadside where you can guess lantern riddles and win lanterns.

Lin Sanrong saw Ah Li staring at a rabbit lantern with complicated patterns.

"If you want that lantern, Lili, please ask Third Brother to get it for you."

He went up and told the stall owner that he wanted to guess the rabbit lantern riddle.

The stall owner said cheerfully: "Young man, this riddle is not simple. Look, several people next to you didn't guess it right."

"Thank you for reminding me, my sister likes this lantern, and I would like to give it a try."

"Okay, then feel free to guess."

There is a couplet written on the lamp, "The white snake crosses the river, and a red sun appears above its head."

There is also a line of small words written at the bottom, "Piece daily items and use a riddle to complete the second couplet."

Lin Sanrong thought for a while and then came up with the second couplet, "Oolong on the wall, covered with thousands of gold stars."

Then he revealed that the answer to the two riddles was the oil lamp and the scale beam.

The people next to him suddenly realized that the answer to the riddle was so simple, and they all applauded him.

The stall owner also smiled and shook his head, took off the rabbit lantern and handed it to Lin Sanrong.

"Not bad, not bad, the future life is to be feared."

Lin Sanrong smiled and handed the lantern to Ah Li.

Ah Li happily jumped up and down with the rabbit lantern, and said to him cutely, "Thank you, third brother."

The exquisite lanterns are dazzling, there are juggling performances on the high platform, and various activities are endless.

Just as they were enjoying themselves, Ah Li on Lin Darong's back suddenly felt that the jade pendant around his neck felt a little hot, and he felt a little flustered.

She immediately shouted to Lin Darong: "Brother, big brother, I want to go home."

Because there were too many people on the street and the noise continued, Ah Li had to ask for help from Mr. Zhang next to him.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I want to come down."

Mrs. Zhang saw Ah Li's expression was wrong and immediately slapped Lin Darong to tell him to stop first.

Seeing this, other people stopped and gathered around to ask what was going on.

Ah Li leaned into Mrs. Pei's ear and said she wanted to go home.

Mrs. Pei thought that Ah Li was feeling uncomfortable, so she asked everyone to continue playing.

After giving instructions, she and Lin Changlu took Ah Li back to the inn first.

Anyway, they are older and don't really like such lively occasions.

Just after returning to the inn, A Li's jade pendant was even more irritating. She thought that the jade pendant Lu Qingling had given her was because something had happened to him.

So they cried and wanted to go back to the village. Pei and Lin Changlu had to ask the shopkeeper to leave a message for their son. They went back to the village first and asked them to come back tomorrow.

After making arrangements, he and A Li rushed back to the village without stopping.

When they arrived at the village entrance, Ah Li shouted that he was going to the Lu family, so the coachman drove the carriage back to the Lu family first.

Ah Li ran directly to Lu Qingling's bedroom as if she had sensed the situation as soon as she got off the carriage.

Pei and Lin Changlu were also surprised. They saw that no one came out of the courtyard. Did something happen to the Lu family?

They also followed Ah Li and walked forward.

When Ah Li entered Lu Qingling's bedroom, there were several people standing inside. She squeezed in through the cracks and saw Lu Qingling lying on the bed with her eyes closed, her face as pale as paper, as if she had no life left.

"Miss A Li, why are you here?"

Lu Yun was a little surprised when he saw Ah Li suddenly appearing in front of the bed. After all, they should be watching the lanterns in the city at the moment.

"What's wrong with Brother Ling? Why don't you open your eyes? Is he asleep?"

"Young Master, I'm afraid he may not be able to survive."

Standing next to him was Feng Yi, the doctor who had been taking care of Lu Qingling's health. He shook his head, "I thought that the young master's illness had improved some time ago, but now it seems that everything is just a return to the past."

The guards all stood aside with their heads lowered, feeling uncomfortable in their hearts.

Ah Li didn't understand what "returning to the light" meant, but she understood that Lu Qingling was not going to get better because an old man in the village happened to be sick and died a few days ago, and her mother explained it to her seriously.

When a person is gone, there is no such person in the world anymore.

She jumped to the bedside and pulled Lu Qingling's hand and cried, "Brother Ling, don't fall asleep. Get up quickly. Lili will read with you, write with you, and eat delicious food with you..."

Lin Changlu and his wife also rushed to the door. When they saw Ah Li crying, they didn't care that this was someone else's house and hurried in.

When they saw so many people in the room, their hearts skipped a beat, and then they saw A Li pulling Lu Qingling, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed and her face ashen, crying.

The two adults suddenly understood something and looked at each other. Pei covered her mouth and burst into tears.

Although they didn't know each other for a long time, they all liked Lu Qingling when they met him. He was sincere and polite to others, and he was kind to Ah Li and the Lin family. They all remembered it in their hearts.

I didn't expect such an outstanding child to be so unlucky.
