"It's a little bit, it's not very good, let's deal with it."

Li Mu found a piece of beef from the warehouse, which the Cheng family sent a few days ago, and put it on the ice brick to freeze it, so as to keep it fresh without worrying about spoilage.

Li Mu cut some slices of meat, found the treasured "benzoin fennel", sprinkled a little on it, and then put it in the pot and stir-fried. In his previous life, this dish was called "cumin slices", which was one of his favorite dishes, and it was simple and delicious, with no technical content.

Wang Ou took out the porridge, watched Li Mu busy working, and suddenly saw a few beads of sweat on his forehead, and rolled up his sleeves to help him wipe them.

Li Mu glanced at her, Wang Ou smiled in return, and Li Mu also smiled. He enjoyed the "peace of mind" when he was with Wang Ou, but he felt that he was like a child, a little inexplicable.

Li Mu took a plate and brought out the dishes. Although there is only one dish, it is enough for two people to eat, and originally there was only porridge and eggs.

"How about a taste?"

Li Mu took a piece of meat and put it in Wang Ou's bowl, looked at her earnestly, and waited for praise.

Wang Ou looked at the meat in the bowl, but he was a little embarrassed. Her taste is very plain, although she is not a vegetarian, but she does hardly eat meat, and I don't know how long I haven't eaten beef. But the lover made it with so much effort, don't eat it, for fear that he will be sad, he glanced at Li Mu, and still picked it up and put it in his mouth.

"Isn't it delicious?"

"Uh-huh!" Wang Ou nodded vigorously, and Li Mu laughed stupidly. He has been with Wang Ou for so long, he actually knows her taste, and he deliberately made this dish to let Wang Ou eat some meat. If Li Zhien is replaced, he will make a vegetarian dish, and this Nizi carries a small bag with him, which is full of candied fruit and jerky, and there is nothing idle in his mouth. When Li Mu hugged him last night, it was obvious that he could feel a lot plump.

"Gull, do you like this kind of life?"

"Huh?" Wang Ou finally swallowed the meat slices, looked up at Li Mu, and there was a trace of puzzlement in his beautiful eyes: "What does the husband mean?" ”

"It's just plain, three meals a day, sunrise and daily income, do you like it?"

Wang Ou nodded and said with a smile: "I like it, I like it every day with my husband." ”

Li Mu said helplessly: "You, don't always coax me like a child." I am your husband, not your son—whatever you think in your heart, you and I are husband and wife, what is there to say? ”

"Hmm," Wang Ou heard Li Mu say this, thought about it, and said: "Actually, I like the way my husband writes poems the most. And the husband writes poems, flowing water, without a trace of impetuousness, full of self-confidence from the heart, comparing others to others. That kind of high-spirited, high-spirited and wanton demeanor is what fascinates me the most. ”

"Ah, so,"

Li Mu's expression was a little stiff, his family knew about his own affairs. How can he know any poems, every sentence is copied, Wang Ou said that he likes the way he writes poems, which is like him, this is like Li Bai.

Li Mu touched his nose and said, "Then, if I don't know how to compose poetry, do you still like me?" ”

"Can't write poetry?" Wang Ou thought for a while and said, "I will like it too, but I may not like it so quickly, as if I am enchanted." As she spoke, she laughed to herself, and a flush flew up her cheeks.

I don't know if it's comforting.

Li Mu sighed in his heart, suddenly picked up Wang Ou's hand and kissed the back of her hand. Wang Ou didn't know what he was going to do, and looked at her suspiciously.

Li Mu held Wang Ou's hand and said, "When I am named on the gold list, we will spend candles in the cave." ”

"What if I don't pass the test?"

"There is no such possibility." After a pause, Li Mu said again: "If there is no cave house, who can take care of it?" ”

Wang Ou knew what Li Mu meant, sorrow flashed in his eyes, he nodded with a smile, and served him another bowl of porridge.

……

Xishan, in front of Datang Technical School.

More than 60 students with dark circles gathered here, and under the leadership of Sun Wuji, the head of the student council, they lined up in a neat queue. Last night, none of them slept well, to be precise, no one slept.

How is it possible to sleep.

We have been working hard together for months, and now it's time to get results. The top 10 voted for have already been given official positions. The lowest one is all eight grades.

The official score is nine grades, and the eighth grade seems to be very low. But you must know that most of the students here are from businessmen, and businessmen cannot participate in the imperial examination, cannot be filial piety, and cannot be officials.

In "Guanzi Xiaokuang", the people of the world are divided into four types, Shinong, businessmen, and businessmen are the most despicable. No matter how rich you are, you don't get respect.

And the Ministry of Internal Affairs gave a precious opportunity, where the son of a merchant could also become an official.

Officials, no matter how many products they have, are all officials. The officials and the people are the two classes in heaven and on earth. No matter how powerful the taxi is, it is also the people, and no matter how small the official, it is also in front of the taxi!

Even if it is the imperial examination, the first champion is only six grades. The top 10 voted yesterday, the lowest is equivalent to winning the Jinshi!

Compared with the bitterness of ten years, what a shortcut this is!

Many people began to regret that they did not seize the opportunity and did not work harder, especially the few who had about the same number of votes as the top ten, and they regretted that as long as they worked harder, they could get the eight-rank official, just one or two votes short, and they had to face more nervous arbitration.

"Guys, are you ready?" Li Mu smiled, waved the booklet in his hand, and said, "This is your score that was counted last night, overnight!" Before looking at the scores, let me tell you about the rules for today's awards. ”

"The perfect score is 100 points, and it is divided into five grades. Full marks can be awarded to the director of the sixth grade, and more than 90 points can be awarded to the director of the seventh grade. If you have more than 80 points, you can be awarded the head of the eighth grade, and if you have more than 70 points, you can be awarded the head of the ninth grade, and if you have more than 60 points, you can be an official in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Of course, a perfect score is almost impossible, just to give you a head start. ”

"The front is the score, and the bottom is the 'score line' at the entrance of each ya. I want to explain to you here, for example, if you have enough score for the eighth grade section chief, but you don't have enough score for the yamen you want to go to, then you can't go either. There are a number of recruits at each yamen, first served, first served, subject to registration. You can only choose the yamen with enough points, do you understand? ”

The students are not children anymore, so they can naturally understand and answer loudly. Li Mu gestured to Changsun Chong, who unfolded the score line notice that had been prepared a long time ago and pasted it on the wall of the courtyard that had just been built by Datang Technical School. Li Mu handed the booklet to Xu Ji, who ranked first yesterday, and asked him to read it.

Xu Ji was flattered, made a disciple salute to Li Mu, took the booklet with both hands, and read it out loud.

"Xue Zhi, eighty-seven points, Tang Li, eighty-six points......"

Li Mu was not idle, and took out a stack of "awards", which he instructed the printing bureau to print specially for engraving, using the kind of award patterns that everyone has seen after the 80s and 90s, and also made a wooden frame with a piece of glass, just enough to frame the awards.

The wooden frame and the certificate are not valuable, but this one-foot-wide glass is priceless. If the price of this glass is judged by the value of the perfume bottle, it will be more than ten times.

Li Mu wrote the name of the graduate on the certificate. The first one is Xu Ji, the first who graduated yesterday, and then the second eldest Sun Chong. At this time, Changsun Chong finished posting the notice, and when he came back, he saw Li Mu writing his name on the award certificate, and couldn't help asking; "Teacher, what is this?"

"This is the graduation certificate of Datang Technical School, and it is also an honor that belongs to you." Li Mu pointed to the words on the certificate of award and said, "The eldest student, Sun Chong, studied in this school from the winter of the fourth year of Zhenguan to the first month of the fifth year of Zhenguan, completed all the coursework, and was allowed to graduate with excellent grades. Principal, Li Mu. ”

"Yesterday's votes were all excellent. And those who graduated with scores today are all qualified, and there is a difference. ”

Li Mu took out the seal of "Datang Technical School" engraved by himself, stamped it on the certificate, took a wooden frame and glass, and framed the certificate in it.

"That's it, come, I'll write, you frame it for me."

"Hmm." The eldest grandson Chong responded, took Xu Ji's award certificate, put it in a wooden frame, and then buckled the glass and put it aside. After Li Mu wrote one, he took one and started working on the assembly line.

The students who graduated yesterday were also on the scene, and if one was framed here, they would take one. The students who graduated today don't have this leisure, they still have to see what kind of yamen their scores can be reported for, and whether they have enough scores. After hearing the scores, they went straight to the notice.

"Headmaster, are you mistaken?"

Xue Zhi, who ranked first in the score and got eighty-seven points, ran back with a sigh after reading the notice: "Principal, why is the score line of the Patent Office and the Salesian Bureau so high?" It shouldn't be the cut-off score of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau......"

Li Mu frowned and said, "This classmate, are you questioning the principal?" The high score line of the Patent Office and the Salesian Bureau shows that this yamen is important, if you want to report, you can report it, if you don't want to report, just report something else, what are you making noise about? ”

Xue Zhishen gave a salute and said: "Principal, the students are puzzled in their hearts, the Salesian Bureau's score line is in second place, and it takes eighty-one points to register, this coaxing the child's yamen, what to do with such a high score, the students don't understand!" ”

"Don't understand?"

Xue Zhi shook his head: "Students don't understand." ”

Li Mu looked at the students who came over one after another and said, "You don't understand? ”

All the students said in unison: "The students don't understand. ”

"Poor understanding!" Li Mu sighed and said: "Just your brain, you really want to make this principal angry to death, who told you that the Salesian Bureau is coaxing children?" Well, I don't have the understanding anymore, so I'll tell you directly, soon, the Salesian Bureau will have a big deal, and this big deal needs people to do, and I want to say how big this deal is......"

Li Mu paused for a moment and said: "Let's put it this way, 100,000 guan is also it, 1 million guan is also it, if it is done well, it will at least account for 30% of the income of the internal affairs government." With such an important yamen, can I not raise my score? ”

I see!

Although the students couldn't figure out what kind of big business it was. But since Li Mu said so, they didn't have any suspicions, and Hulala turned his head and ran back. Just now they all saw that the Salesian Bureau has a total of three places, if it is slow, where is it?

"There is no future!"

Li Mu shook his head, sighed, dipped his pen in some ink, and continued to write down his graduation certificate.

After tossing for an hour, all the graduating students finally landed. Some people rejoice, others are sad. I am happy that I have grabbed the place I want, and I am sad that I am hesitant and have been preempted. But no matter what, the registration is a fixed number, and it can't be changed.

Li Mu took the register from Wei Yingluo's hand and looked through it, returned it to her, and said to the students: "Congratulations to the fifty students who have successfully graduated, from tomorrow, you will be the first batch of officials of the Internal Affairs Office, I hope you can serve diligently and live up to Your Majesty's trust." In addition, the 22 students who have not graduated can take a half-day vacation, and if you still want to continue studying, you will have to bring the new tuition fee tomorrow. If you don't want to continue studying, that's fine. ”

"This principal is a conscientious person, I thought about it again last night, and decided to return your tuition, if you don't want to continue studying, go to the craftsman's bank to withdraw money the day after tomorrow, and not a penny will be missing you, but after you receive the money, you can't mention Datang Technical School on any occasion, we have money and goods, and each has nothing to do with it."

"Students will die in Datang Technical School!"

The students shouted, Li Mu raised his hand and pressed it, and said, "It's a good thing to be brave after being ashamed." But Yong, not shouted, in Datang Technical School, every student has a chance to do it again, but only once. If you can't finish your business in the next issue, then there is only one way to go, that is, roll up and cover the eggs, Datang Technical School, don't waste, don't raise idlers! Remember? ”

"Remember!"

"Okay, go home when you should go home, go to the official department when you should go to the official department, students who have graduated in the evening, you can come back here, this principal has prepared a loose meal for you, barbecue! It doesn't matter if you come or not, don't be too reluctant. ”

After Li Mu finished speaking, he turned around and left, and their strange howls suddenly sounded behind him.

After months of hard work, I finally got the result, whether it was good or bad, it needed to be released.

Li Mu called Changsun Chong aside and asked, "I haven't been able to see Xiao Jiu these days, have you seen him?" ”

"Yes, he loved them in the training room."

Li Mu frowned: "I remember that this matter was not handed over to him, why, Cheng Chu silently picked a child?" ”

The eldest grandson was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't you tell the teacher?" We all thought it was the teacher's order. ”
