Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't care much about Li Lian's reaction, this Brother Lian bullied people when he didn't agree with her, and he usually didn't punish her less, but he was still quite reliable at the critical moment.

She continued to clean up, and someone behind her suddenly greeted her, "Eh, the little boy is also very energetic today." "The man was an old man, wearing a small hat, with a thin body and a shrewd look in his eyes.

"Eighth uncle, you are here, I will keep today's words for you." Cheng smiled slightly, and she handed the booklet to the old man.

The old man known as the eighth uncle is Cheng Cheng's old acquaintance, the two were officials in the same dynasty back then, and the eighth uncle only contributed eight points in everything, and he must leave two points when he spoke, so he got the name of the eighth uncle.

Cheng Cheng is old-fashioned and cold by nature, but Uncle Eight is shrewd and cheerful, and unexpectedly, these two people with very different personalities have never had a bad relationship, and they can be called old friends.

Uncle Eight has been up and down in officialdom all his life, he loves money, has no sense of justice, and there are not many friends who can be called friends, but after Cheng Cheng was degraded, Uncle Eight has asked people to bring silver for relief many times, and he is also a person who misses the old love.

He retired from the court when he was old, and as for why he became a small compilation of words, it was not because he loved storytelling, but because it could make money!

The eighth uncle was idle and bored after not being an official, and he couldn't make money and was itchy, so he saw the psychology of the people of Wujiang City who love to listen to gossip, and specially organized a "Zhaoyun Memorabilia".

The name is very majestic, in fact, it contains some gossip inside and outside the city, the young lady of the Liu Mansion has a private meeting with the young master of the Zhang family, the eldest lady of the Li family splashes on the street, Mr. Feng has almost no intersection with the Lord Jin, etc., from the imperial city to the general public, and even from the outside world.

Cheng Xiaoxiao can be regarded as half a well-known person in this Wujiang City, she is still telling stories every day, and she is very popular, those book lovers want to become Xiaoguo's words, but she has no time to sort it out.

Although a large number of reprints and sales make money, they have no choice but to reprint and spend too much money, which is not cost-effective.

Uncle Eight took a fancy to this business opportunity and cooperated with Cheng Xiao for mutual benefit.

"Okay, last time, this book was very well received, and this time it is estimated that it will not be bad." The eighth uncle looked at the booklet in his hand as if he had seen silver, and his small eyes were even more narrow.

"By the way, Uncle Eight, the matter I asked you about last time......" Seeing that Uncle Eight was happy, Cheng Xiaoxiao hurriedly took the opportunity to ask about business.

"The thing that was recommended, it can be said that it has been done for eight points, and the remaining two points need you to come to the door in person to express it."

Cheng Xiaoxiao understood, her face was happy, and she immediately replied, "Xiaoxiao understands, and when she is ready, she will visit her immediately!" ”

Touching the goatee, the eighth uncle smiled, he went out, how could things not go well, Cheng Cheng's grandson is also quite clever, help more now, and use it in the future.

Knowing that the matter of the recommendation had been settled, Cheng Xiaoxiao's heart was relieved after a few days.

The imperial examination system in Zhaoyun State was strict, and students who wanted to take the final palace examination needed to pass three exams first.

First of all, the lowest children's test, then the township test, the will test, and finally the palace test that decides a qiē, Cheng Xiaoxiao has just passed the township test, and his identity is to lift people, and he has to pass the guò test to obtain the qualification to participate in the palace test.

But she is completely a temporary assault, which is different from those candidates who have been cold for more than ten years.

With the help of a capable person like Li Lian, coupled with her own intelligence, she barely passed the township test, but according to the current progress, it is too difficult to pass the guiò test.

In particular, the proportion of the current national conditions and policies of Zhaoyun Kingdom has been increased in the examination, Li Lian has always regarded those as empty things, if he is asked to write the answers, those examiners will definitely be angry with his harsh answers.

As Cheng Xiao moved forward step by step, Li Lian could no longer tutor her alone, and she had to go to the academy and study with orthodox teachers to have hope.

Li Lian and Cheng Xiaoxiao discussed repeatedly, and finally decided that the Botao Academy was built not far from Wujiang City, on the hill on the edge of the city.

Bo Tao Academy is one of the three major academies in Zhaoyun Kingdom, half of the talents that have appeared in Zhaoyun Country in recent years are from Bo Tao Academy, and most of the teachers in it are retired civil officials.

But what Cheng Xiaoxiao and Li Lian chose was not only the strong teachers and materials of Botao Academy, but also one very important point.

According to Li Lian's news, the chief examiner of this year's examination is Dongfang Xian, a civil official of the current dynasty, who was born in Botao Academy!

As can be seen from the name of Bo Tao College, the founder greatly appreciated Zuo Bo Tao's spirit of sacrificing himself for his friends, and Bo Tao College has always advocated mutual assistance.

In other words, if Cheng Xiaoxiao is a disciple of Botao Academy, and the others are not, she already has an advantage here in the academy!

But this Botao Academy has strict conditions for accepting people, those who are children of the family, those who are talented, and those who are martial arts who are world-beating, like Cheng Xiaoxiao, who has a background like this, and his talent cannot be said to be one of the best, so he has no chance to enter.

At this time, Li Lian helped her come up with a recommendation!

The eighth uncle has been an official in the court for many years, and he has known a lot of people after retiring, one of them is Cheng Xiaoxiao's Zhang who is going to visit this time, Zhang is a disciple of a family from Botao Academy, and he has contacts with all the high-level leaders of Botao Academy, as long as he is willing to recommend, Cheng Xiaoxiao must be stable and undoubted.

After the eighth uncle left, Li Lian came down from upstairs, "The eighth uncle is really reliable, quickly prepare the rare and good wine left before, and wait for tomorrow to vote for the post." ”

"That is, when I enter Botao Academy, I will be better than you as a teacher when I come out." Cheng Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Lian with a provocative expression.

"Just like you, don't think about surpassing me if you study for another ten years." Li Lian didn't pay attention to her provocation, and burst out laughing.

Cheng Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, but did not refute, because she knew that what Li Lian said was true, and since this stage of eating and living together, she clearly understood Li Lian's ability.

Although Li Lian is also very young, she has a lot of maturity beyond her age, and she has a stable grasp of many things.

With the introduction of the eighth uncle, the adult Zhang happily accepted the greeting post and made an appointment to let Cheng Xiaoxiao come to his house to talk.

"Brother Lian, how do I look now?" Cheng Xiaoxiao asked Li Lian beside him a little nervously, with uneasiness in his eyes, they were in front of Lord Zhang's mansion at the moment, waiting for the doorman to go to pass the word. (To be continued.) )
