This time I came to Qingshui Town, because I wanted to treat the seriously ill Li Junran, I had to stay here in Qingshui Town for a few more days, and I was thinking of renting an inn. Who ever wanted to take a step forward in the carriage of Chengfu, Li Junran, together with Li Cui's family, disappeared inexplicably on the road, and the four members of Li Zhengtai's family who were in the fourth room of the Li family were also sick, injured, and missing. As a last resort, Li Junyang suggested that Bao Zi's father charter a small courtyard behind the inn.

Such a small courtyard is specially prepared for the ladies of those big families who pass through Qingshui Town. If you want to say cheap, it is naturally more expensive than a separate room in the inn. But if it is expensive, according to the size of the courtyard and supporting facilities, the price is also divided into three, six, nine and so on. Like the small courtyard that the Li family's second room is renting now, the rent is three taels a month, that is, ten big characters (one hundred copper coins) per day. Of course, the yard is not big, only three rooms with a small kitchen. The furnishings in the room are even simpler, with only three beds, two wardrobes, a table of eight immortals and four reunion stools. As for the kitchen, except for an iron pot, there is only half a bundle of firewood left, and the rest is ...... Nothing.

The reason why this is the case, Li Junran, who has been in the Cheng Mansion for more than half a year, can understand a little. If a female relative like Miss Cheng Fu is looking for relatives and friends, unless she misses the inn at night, she will not stay in the inn most of the time, but choose the small courtyard she is renting now. As for the daily necessities, it is natural to use what you are used to on weekdays, and the inn is just to provide a quiet and safe place.

"What's wrong, you?" Li Junran saw that Li Junyang's mood was a little sluggish, so he lay on Li Junyang's back. Tilting his head, he continued to poke Li Junyang's little cheek, which can be regarded as a little flesh, "Speak!" ”

"Liu'er, am I useless?" Li Junyang spoke faintly after a long time. Although Fang was so dizzy because of his own mother-in-law Li Xu, what happened before, Li Junran or Li Cui's didn't have time to say in detail. But Li Junyang is not a stupid person in the end, not to mention that Li Junran had briefly mentioned some private affairs to him before.

Not to mention, just for the second cousin of the four-room family next door (that is, Li Zhengtai) and the family of four, the sick and injured, there is even a mystery that does not see this. Li Junyang faintly sensed that his Liu'er and Grandma must have encountered something dangerous yesterday. Although Li Junyang is not clear. How Li Junran got out with Li Cui's family is not easy to think about.

But he can't do anything now.

"It's all temporary. Looking back, you studied hard and gained fame......" Li Junran said so. But she has the memory of two lives, but she has reservations about it. In the previous life. Although her family background is not top-notch, she must be. The second-rate is still on the platoon. It is precisely because you stand high enough that you can naturally see more scenery. Not to mention the side, let's take the college entrance examination that is similar to the imperial examination of the Apocalypse Dynasty. With the same score, the admission score in the developed area is different from that in the less developed area. But every year, there are still thousands of troops and horses who continue to go forward and cross this single-plank bridge. Why? That's the only way to compete on a relatively level playing field.

Li Junran didn't know if this imperial examination road could be relatively fair and just in this Heavenly Apocalypse Dynasty. But one thing is still certain, privileges have been available in all dynasties, and I am afraid that the Apocalypse Dynasty will not be exempt from vulgarity.

"Liu'er, I'm so scared...... I'm afraid that before I can win the top prize, you will be killed by the people of Cheng Mansion, as well as grandma, father and mother...... Liu'er, I'm really scared of ......"

Li Junyang also said at the beginning that he wanted to take the top prize and come back, but because he had never entered a private school at that time, he was more of a lofty goal set by the surrounding elders for "winning the top prize in the study and examination". As for how feasible this ambitious goal is, it can be said that there is no idea. Although Li Junran has never entered a private school, he at least knows more about the imperial examination than Li Junyang.

The road to the imperial examination is not easy to follow, and it is a process that requires a long struggle. Because from a white Ding to get a show, and then to a person to a jinshi, it will take two and a half years at the fastest if he is lucky enough. This has to be passed every time, and it is just a triennial autumn to catch up with the name of Xiucai, and you can take the exam. As long as there is a little mistake in the middle, such as failing to perform well on the spot when you are sick, or there is favoritism or something, it will have to be extended indefinitely.

As for the champion, the first place in the first class of Jinshi is also the first in the country. It is equivalent to Li Junran's previous life, when all the provincial science champions plus the liberal arts champions got together to compete for the most powerful one. But what if you win the top prize? When conferring an official position, it is not allowed to start working hard from the Liupin Hanlin Academy. Of course, there is a future. The first and auxiliary ministers of the cabinet were all promoted from the Hanlin Academy. It's just that it will take about twenty or thirty years to get into the cabinet, and it will take luck.

It's no wonder that Li Junyang suddenly said that he was scared.

"Hey, boy. Do you believe me, sister? Because he could understand, Li Junran didn't know how to persuade Li Junyang, so he had to put on a narcissistic posture of "sister, I am invincible in the world".

"Liu'er, actually...... I envy that Lu Dabao......"

Isn't it, who is not good to envy that Lu Dabao. Li Junran wanted to despise Li Junyang's gaze, but looking at the kid in front of him who was in a low mood and obviously under too much pressure, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

"Boy, you don't envy him for having a sister who is a concubine for the prefect."

"No, it's not......" Li Junyang's face turned red all of a sudden, and he didn't know if it was because Li Junran guessed the reason.

Don't look at the Lu family's wealth in this part of Yue Town, not only does the family have hundreds of hectares of fertile land, but also several shops in the town. But Lu Dabao's father, the master of the Lu family, even goes up to N generations, but he actually has no fame. It's just that in the generation of the old man of the Lu family, there are many daughters in the family, and through marriage (including being a concubine), he has climbed into several powerful families. Here belongs to Lu Dabao's own sister, the one with the highest status, and is the biggest boss in Yuezhen, Xu Zhifu.

If it weren't for that, how could Lu Dabao, the second ancestor of Bai Ding, be so arrogant? It's just a dog fighting a human power.

"Boy, you call me 'sister', sister, I'll take you to a good place, and make sure you don't have any worries after you go. How is it? Li Junran thought about it and decided that he couldn't let Li Junyang be so entangled. It's not a good thing to keep going on like this. Li Junyang's pressure is too great, and this pressure is constantly added to himself by himself. If it goes on like this, sooner or later the string will break. (To be continued......)
