Naturally, the baskets of copper coins were ignored, and the title deeds were thrown away directly at a glance.

The only thing that was really taken away was stacks of Jiaozi and some jewelry.

As for returning it to the government or something, Wang Xiao can only hehe.

The gang of people in Kaifeng Mansion, don't think about falling out again when things are in their hands.

Wang Xiao took it away to do business, to take it from the people for the people, and definitely not for his own expenses. At most, it's just a storage fee.

When he came, he was silent, and when he left, he was also without a trace.

By the time the people in Li Yi's house noticed that something was wrong and came over, Wang Xiao had already returned to the warm bed.

As for how the people in the house over there drew their knives in order to rob the goods, and how the catchers outside went in and took over everything, it has nothing to do with him.

The next morning, snowflakes were falling in the sky.

The tired Mingyue was reluctant to go out and chose to stay at home, and Wang Xiao got into the carriage to pick up people from Li's house.

I didn't see Li Gefei this time, saying that a group of bigwigs drank until dawn, and he was now asleep.

said goodbye to Mrs. Li and took Li Yi and Li Qingzhao into the carriage.

Somehow, I always feel that Li Qingzhao is a little different from yesterday.

looked at his internal response, but Li Yi, who had only been taught a lesson yesterday, sat quietly on the side and did not squint.

All the way to the mansion of a certain Hanlin bachelor, Li Qing went to the backyard to meet her little sisters, while Wang Xiao and Li Yi were invited to the front yard to serve tea.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Li Yi leaned over, looking mysterious, "Sister, I got up before dawn." I dressed up all morning, and I was more attentive than going to the Shangyuan Lantern Festival yesterday. ”

Wang Xiao suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"How many sons does this Zheng have in his family? Are you all married? Is there a handsome little white face with a rich god? ”

Li Yu was stunned, not understanding what this meant.

Wang Xiao got up a little irritably, and after walking around a few times, he couldn't sit down, so he simply walked out of Master Zheng's mansion in the wind and snow and came to the bank of the Bianhe River not far away.

"Senior brother, what is this for?"

Li Yi, who came out with him, looked at Wang Xiao suspiciously, borrowed an iron drill from someone on the side, and chiseled the ice at once.

"Without him, upset."

A one-foot-square hole was carved out of the ice, and Wang Xiao stood aside with an iron drill in his hand and did not move.

After a short time, the water began to churn.

Wang Xiao shot like lightning, and with an iron drill, he directly pierced a fat fish with seven or eight catties of weight, and still fluttered on the side.

"Li Yi, have you ever heard of lying on the ice and begging for carp?"

Li Yi, who was squatting aside to watch the excitement, was stunned, nodded and said, "I've heard it." ”

"What do you think of this story?"

Li Yi thought about it carefully, "Filial piety is commendable. ”

Wang Xiao didn't directly say that this was a fool's story, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the ice under his feet, "You take off your gloves and put your hands on the ice." ”

Li Yi obediently did so.

After a lot of effort, it was already frozen, and even a pair of hands were almost glued.

Finally waited for Wang Xiao to nod, and Li Yu, who was about to shed tears in his eyes, hurriedly jumped up and rubbed his hands vigorously.

"What do you think of this story now?"

Li Yi looked at his cold hands, "If you really lie on the ice all night, you will freeze to death, right?" ”

"If you want to catch a fish, you just have to smash the ice with an iron drill. In winter, the river is frozen, and once there is a mouth, the fish will come in a surge. Where is the need to melt ice? ”

Wang Xiao shot one after another, and tied many big fish one after another, "This incident tells you that you have to verify what you encounter in person, rather than following the clouds." It is better to believe in a book than to have no book at all, and what is written in a book is not true. ”

For Li Yi, this statement is really unheard of, "But my father said that the books are all written by sages..."

"You have to be flexible in everything, and if you can't do it, you're a nerd. There is indeed a lot of knowledge in the books of the sages, but there are also fools who fool the big fools. It depends on how you understand it. ”

Wang Xiao struck the last blow and put on a big fat fish with fourteen or fifteen catties.

"I'm in a good mood, let's go back."

Half of the more than 10 fish caught were given to the borrower's family, and then he borrowed a wooden barrel from the person to carry the remaining fish back.

returned to Zheng Hanlin's house and waited until late afternoon after eating, and then Li Qingzhao came out.

When these little sisters gathered before, they actually took out all the Qingyu cases that came out last night, and they all admired them all.

At that time, Li Qingzhao was extremely happy, and he almost couldn't help but say that the person who wrote the Qingyu case was waiting for me outside.

A group of little sisters talked and joked, and after eating, they were reluctant to say goodbye and leave.

"Where did the fish come from?"

Li Qingzhao, who got into the carriage, saw his younger brother guarding a large pot of fish.

"Senior brother pierced it with an iron drill." Li Yi wiped his saliva and firmly guarded these big fish.

The catering industry in the Song Dynasty was extremely developed, but the most common meat for the children of officials like Li Yi was mutton and fish.

In particular, the fatty fish fished out of the Bianhe River eats fish and eats fish tart, which is the favorite of Bianliang people.

"How do you catch fish this day?" Li Qingzhao looked at the curtain in surprise, and outside was Wang Xiao, who was sitting on the wheel and bragging to the coachman, "The river is sealed." ”

Naturally, there is no difficulty in eating fish on weekdays, but now that the river is frozen, where can I catch the fish?

Li Yu said with a smile: "Senior brother directly chiseled the ice cubes with an iron chisel, and those fish jumped out by themselves as if they were crazy." I grabbed a lot of them easily. ”

Li Qingzhao thought of the look of expectation and admiration when those little sisters talked about Wang Xiao, who wrote down the Qingyu case and Queqiao Immortal, at the previous party.

My senior brother is really amazing.

------

The pace of winter is gradually gone, and the days of spring are finally here.

The Bianhe River, which had been quiet all winter, thawed with a 'click' sound.

Bianliang City, the most prosperous city in the world, has finally come back to life from the snow.

In the days after the Shangyuan Festival, Wang Xiaowan declined countless invitations.

Whether the big guy asked him to drink tea, or the famous skills in Bianliang City invited him to sit down, they all refused.

The external rhetoric naturally means that we must concentrate on preparing for the Spring Festival.

This argument is too strong for anyone to refute.

But in fact, in addition to reading the homework that Li Gefei pointed out to him, Wang Xiao spent the rest of his time reading miscellaneous books.

He really sees everything.

From the Book of Tea to the Techniques of the Qi People, from the Book of Poetry to the Theory of Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases, etc., I can read everything.

There were many things he had seen before, but he had forgotten them for a long time.

Now that I pick it up again, it's time to brush up on my homework.

Wang Xiao also deliberately reduced his contact with Li Qingzhao's sister and brother, and now it is more important for him to have a suitable identity.

However, on Li Qingzhao's birthday a few days ago, he still carefully selected a gift to send over.

According to Wang Xiao's heart, he should give a set of mahjong made of jade, or a book of 'On the Self-cultivation of Trolls'.

After all, according to records, Li Qingzhao is a mahjong fanatic, and he is not much more reckless than Qingwen.

And she is also a troll, and when she sees dissatisfaction, she will spray directly in poetry or even at banquets.

But after these years of contact, Li Qingzhao is a gentle and graceful in Wang Xiao's eyes, a typical lady.

After thinking about the consequences of giving such a gift, I finally replaced it with a hairpin inlaid with large pearls.

However, at this meeting, Wang Xiao found that Li Qingzhao had finally grown up gradually, and he had become more and more of a bun face.

As for those so-called competitors, in Wang Xiao's opinion, none of them can fight.

He has now apprenticed to the old Taishan, and who else can get closer to the water tower than him.

And when he went to give gifts, the little lady was a little shy and didn't dare to look at each other when she returned the gift.

It's already a flying dragon riding face, how can you lose?

What Wang Xiao didn't know was that Li Qingzhao was the most terrifying existence in the eyes of her younger brother. When she pinched her waist with one hand and pointed at her brother and scolded her, she really didn't dare to say anything.

In Mrs. Li's eyes, she was just naughty and disobedient. Commenting on the famous masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, none of them have seen it.

That's the real her.

Finally, it is time for the provincial examination of the imperial examination era, which can be called the carp leaping over the dragon gate, which is commonly known as the spring festival.

The importance of spring to scholars is self-evident.

Since Renzong Jiayou announced in the second year that the palace examination would not eliminate candidates, and all those who participated in the palace examination were admitted, the last mountain that prevented the scholars from replacing the big headscarf with the official mao was left.

The location of the provincial test is the Gongyuan, although there is no exaggerated cubicle in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but the environment is not very good.

As for the number of examinations, when Fan Zhongyan innovated the imperial examination, there were three examinations, first the strategy, the second examination, and then the poetry.

Later, Wang Anshi changed the law, highlighting the importance of Jinshike and abolishing the Ming Classics. It went from three to four.

The first test is the scripture, the second test is the scriptures, the third is a poem, and the fourth is a strategy.

Needless to say, the specific process is not too much.

Wang Xiao participated in it with a peaceful mind, and took the test one by one according to the rules of this era.

For him, the Four Books and the Five Classics didn't make much sense. The only thing that works is to get him through when he needs it.

After all, if he wants to change the fate of the Great Song Dynasty in the future, he must enter it and control the power.

These questions were not difficult for him, especially when the sentence 'the old and the old, the young and the young' appeared in the exam questions, he laughed even more.

There's nothing to say, Qi is alive.

After the last game and coming out of the tribute courtyard, Wang Xiao instantly left the Four Books and Five Classics behind in his mind. These things are now useless.

That's right, the so-called ten-year cold window, the only useful use is in the examination room.

When you really get out of the examination room, these efforts lose their meaning.

No matter how nice it sounds on the surface, in essence, it is just to change the big headscarf on his head.

Wang Xiao, who walked out of the Tribute Courtyard, turned to look at this place that was longed for by countless scholars all over the world, and hooked the corners of his mouth to reveal an inexplicable smile.

"That's it?"
