Ordinary and lively days always pass quickly, two years have passed, all the grain harvested by the family in the past two years is saved, in fact, it is not much, nearly 100 acres of land, forty percent of the output. Two years is only about 20,000 catties of grain. Yu Mingyi, like him, also stored all this grain. Lord Zhou's meaning is the same as the two of them. Because the border has been fighting, large and small, year after year. It should be said that since the death of the general and the replacement of the border guards, it has not stopped. But the imperial court has always thought that these are normal, after all, the northern foreign tribes have been grabbing grain for many years, and every time they rob it, they always have to fight, and everyone seems to be surprised. But no one would say that the past few years have been particularly strict.

This year's township examination is scheduled for the end of August, and A Hao, Liu Zhihua and others walked into the examination room carrying the hopes of the people of Beixian County.

In the college examination a year ago, there were also four high school talents from Beixian County School, ranking second, third, fifth and the bottom of the list. A total of 10 people referenced, and 4 people were selected. This result is not too good but it is definitely not bad, after all, these students have only been studying in Beixian County School for two years, so Yu Mingyi's reputation is even higher, and in the third year, the number of students enrolled in Beixian County School has more than doubled compared with the first year. After the results of the college examination came out, Jingli Guozijian made special awards to Beixian County School and Yu Mingyi. Therefore, this time, many people are staring at Ah Hao and Liu Zhihua, a few students who came out of Beixian County and have a close relationship with Yu Mingyi.

Yu Mingyi can't wait to follow Ah Hao and others to the provincial capital in person, but he really shouldn't come forward, now his reputation is too high among scholars, not to mention the students in Beixian, even in Fucheng, and even in the capital, there are people who have found countless excuses and have a lot of relationships, wanting to come to Beixian to study, and even can't wait to let Yu Mingyi teach in person, which makes him annoyed. Fortunately, Beixian is really remote, and he has a baron title, which can make him unable to refuse, and there are only a handful of people who come to him in person, otherwise, his life is really sad.

Geng Qiu followed this time, firstly, to take care of Ah Hao and others, and secondly, to see the liveliness and prosperity of the provincial capital. At this time, the weather is still relatively hot, so you should pay special attention to the aspect of eating. After all, there are quite a few people participating in the township test, and the time is not short. Someone will take care of you and handle food, clothing, housing and transportation, so that students will be more comfortable in all aspects and can better take the exam.

Because Ah Hao and others have to go to the provincial capital to participate in the qualification examination of the township examination, if they want to participate in the township examination, they can not have the endowment as a guarantee like the hospital examination. Not every talent can participate in the township test. Such a qualification examination, in addition to the assessment of academics, can also be regarded as the identity of the reference, in order to prevent cheating, the identity verification is a very important thing.

And the Xiucai who passes guò will be able to receive the admission ticket equivalent to that of modern people. With this admission ticket, the talents can enter the examination room and participate in the triennial competition. Those who excel are also known as those who lift people, and they can participate in the final imperial examination to be held in the spring of the following year. Those who pass the Jinshi examination will embark on a career from then on.

Ah Hao and the others arrived at their destination ten days ahead of schedule, and specially chartered a two-entry house. Geng Qiu decided to cook by himself and take care of the students' living and eating. Not only that, but he also brought two helpers, who were not so much here to help as to play. One is Zeng Dashan, who said that he would come to be a guard to protect the students' safety, and the other was Dr. Li, who said that he wanted to be an accompanying doctor to prevent anyone from getting sick and to get the best treatment at the best time.

This is a private house specializing in this kind of student business, and you can rent it monthly, annually, or daily. And it can be rented out with people, that is, it can be equipped with kitchen sprinklers and other people. When the owner of this family knew that they were Xiucai from Beixian, their original faint expressions immediately changed, and they were warmly welcomed by the host's family.

Before coming, Geng Qiu also made a special inquiry about the price, and heard that it was generally between eighty taels of silver and one hundred taels of silver per month. I didn't expect this small mansion with a good environment and a good house to only cost fifty taels of silver, and it also gave two clever servants.

The master said with a smile: "Baron Yu of Beixian County, and the name of Xiucai in Beixian County, have already caused a sensation in the whole province. Those of us who do student business, which of us don't want to see the demeanor of students. After speaking, the eyes swept over the students enthusiastically, and there was an expression of a brain-dead fan. made Geng Qiu and everyone cry and laugh. They really didn't expect that they would be so famous.

If this is in modern times, the host will definitely ask Ah Hao and others for signatures, but although he didn't ask for an autograph, he did something similar, he asked that when everyone left, they could leave some ink treasures for his mansion and sign their names. Of course, it refers to the person who passed the exam, and he wants to use the reputation of the students in Beixian County to add fame to his family's house. If the nine people who came this time, all of them were high schools, then this mansion would immediately be speculated to sky-high prices.

In this township test in Beixian County, a total of nine people came, five people including Ah Hao and Liu Zhihua, and the other four new talents from Beixian County last year, these four people are all Yu Mingyi's students, and they are also familiar with Geng Qiu, so Yu Mingyi handed them over to Geng Qiu. These nine people are not very old, and Ah Hao can be regarded as the oldest, only twenty-five or sixteen years old. Some of the talents who were not promoted in the previous examination did not come to participate this time as if they had made an appointment. Therefore, the nine-person team in Beixian County is becoming more and more eye-catching, all of them are young talents, so it is very popular with some middle-aged and elderly talents.

Two subordinates, Geng Qiu arranged one to help in the kitchen, and the other to clean up. Dr. Li and Zeng Dashan lived in the small room of the gatehouse and served as temporary gatekeepers.

This house is good in all aspects, but the only thing that is not so good is that there are too few rooms in the main house. This kind of house is generally rented to those who have a lot of property, bring their own entourage, and the master is only one or two students, so there are a total of three main rooms with wings. Now there are nine people to live in, Geng Qiu discussed it with everyone. In the end, Liu Zhihua and the four of them lived in the main room with a wing room on the east side, one room for two people. The other four rookies only live in the main room with wings on the west side, which is also a room for two people.

And Geng Qiu and Ah Hao live in the lower room at the back, fortunately it is a separate small room, and the beds, tables and chairs are also fully furnished, but they are smaller, which is not good to say. But they are husband and wife, and it is not good to live with others, so everyone agrees to this arrangement. Anyway, in the entire mansion, in addition to their group, there are only two people left who usually take care of this place.

As soon as the nine talents brought by Geng Qiu settled down, the concierge received a lot of greeting stickers, please post and so on. Everyone wanted to get to know them in advance under the guise of meeting friends in Yiwen. Or maybe it's to see who these people are.

At first, Geng Qiuquan pushed it, but because they came ahead of schedule and had a good reputation, some people really couldn't shirk it later, so Ah Hao and they made a few special trips to deal with these people. Anyway, not a single person walked into the place where they lived, and they did not entertain anyone here.

After going out three times, no one wants to meet friends with them anymore, because as soon as they go out, there are nine people, and nine people are a big group, and the nine people are very united, and they can learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and they have a very tacit understanding. At this time, the qualifications for the selection also came down. It's just that even the scholars and others are very familiar with them, and they don't embarrass them at all.

While waiting to enter the examination room, they began to study hard behind closed doors, and even the concierge was closed, and they no longer saw anyone. Except for Geng Qiu and a subordinate who went out to buy vegetables early in the morning, no one went out at other times. Geng Qiu's cooking skills are not bad, and there is a doctor Li on the side, the meals arranged are very particular, the meat and vegetables are properly matched, and they are all light and refreshing, and they are easy to restrain meals.

There are many people, they stay together every day, study and read, and time flies quickly, and this kind of life is not much different from studying in the academy, and it is even more comfortable. After all, Geng Qiu came to take care of them, not only taking care of Ah Hao in bed, but also taking care of everyone very satisfied.

Among the nine people, only Ah Hao has become his own son, and Geng Qiu is still with him, but they live alone, and everyone is focused on their studies, and no one has discovered Ah Hao and Geng Qiu's nightlife. Geng Qiu and A Hao have lived a life of less gathering and more separation, and the long-term separation between the two places has made the two almost as long as they are alone, and the two of them have impulses, not to mention that Ah Hao himself is a very enthusiastic person, so every night, both of them have to exercise. However, the two of them still have a sense of proportion, and they don't dare to go too far, and they usually stop at one time. It's just that the two of them are not hairy guys anymore, this time the number is less, but it has been a long time, and Ah Hao has been moistened every day.

Ah Xuan, this kid, is the youngest and doesn't know how to do things, so he actually said with a smile: "Look, sure enough, Brother Qiu's cooking is the best, and Brother Hao's face has been extraordinarily ruddy recently." ”

The other people actually nodded in agreement, which made Dr. Li laugh, but he could also see that Geng Qiu and Ah Hao had good faces, and they did not have excessive desires. But he also joked fiercely to Ah Hao: "You two sing every night, but be careful of getting pregnant." ”

As a result, Ah Hao was just stunned for a while, and said unintentionally: "Didn't I take your child avoidance pill, which is effective for five years." Anyway, he decided, he will not continue the imperial examination after the middle examination, and now there are few people who know him, and basically there is no one who can recognize his true identity.

But when he really goes to the capital, no matter how careful he is, he will definitely be identified by someone with a heart, even the emperor, the prince and others know him. He didn't want to take such a risk, so even if he was pregnant now, it didn't matter, he just wouldn't be able to take the exam next spring. Wait until you get off the course, and then find a reason, after a long time, who remembers that he has to take the test.
