Rain stars fall from the sky.

Walking in the mountains, you can see mountains in the distance.

Several boats moored at the Luoshui ferry port were lit up, and in the drizzle, there was an inexplicable loneliness.

Li Xingzhou and Wei Hanshuang sat in the carriage and walked slowly, while Daxiong and Persimmon sat in front and drove.

He finally persuaded Cui Quan, and with Cui Quan's acquiescence, Wei Hanshuang, Daxiong and Persimmon also entered Beijing with Li Xingzhou.

Li Xingzhou suddenly missed a little, and began to be curious, thinking about whether the little girl named Nunu was in Luoyang, and a little bit about the black and thin little girl who smiled and showed her teeth.

"Brother Yan."

"Brother Biao!"

"Ah, Sister Wei, what's the matter?"

The curtain of the carriage window was lifted, and under the light of the flickering air lamp on the carriage, Wei Hanshuang's face carried a trace of anger.

However, the anger made her look more charming, adding an indescribable temperament.

Sure enough, the woman who has bloomed is full of charms!

Li Xingzhou said with emotion.

"I'm talking to you, why don't you ignore me?"

Wei Hanshuang feigned anger.

"Uh, I thought of something just now, so I lost my mind a little, and I ask Sister Wei to forgive me!"

Wei Hanshuang couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and the anger on his face disappeared immediately.

How could she really be angry with Li Xingzhou?

Wei Hanshuang hesitated for a moment, blushing and said softly.

"You still call me sister?"

Wei Hanshuang's arm was resting on the car window, and a gentle smile appeared on his delicate face.

"Uhhhhh

When Li Xingzhou saw her charming appearance, he suddenly felt a backache.

。。。

。。。

After entering Luoyang City, Li Xingzhou successfully found the Cui family's house in Luoyang City.

knocked on the door, and the one who came out to answer the door was a big yellow-haired girl with rough hands and feet, although she was thirteen or fourteen years old, she still had a confused look on her face.

"Is Bai Yigongzi here?"

"I'm from Qinghe, my surname is Li."

Although the other party was only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old yellow-haired girl, Li Xingzhou still said hello respectfully.

"Oh, it's Li Gongzi."

"Ten days ago, my son-in-law and his friends went to Saibei to collect wind, and their family also went with them, and now there is only one housekeeper left in the house."

"My young master said before he left that if Li Gongzi came over and he hadn't come back yet, he would let Li Gongzi go to live in the house in Beiqufang."

"When will you be back? It depends on Childe's mood, but it is certain that it will not be possible in three or five months.

"This is the key to the mansion."

After saying that, the little girl closed the door.

"I believe you're a ghost, you're a bad old man."

Li Xing was speechless for a while.

Walking down the steps in front of Cui's Mansion, Li Xingzhou looked at the crowds coming and going in the market, and his mood was inevitably a little low.

The ancients often said that it is a great embarrassment to go thousands of miles to meet relatives, but Li Xingzhou's situation at this time is similar.

Cui Baiyi obviously didn't want to see him, and he knew almost nothing about Luoyang, so he had to take one step at a time.

After all, Li Xingzhou is not a scholar who reads stupidly in this era, nor is he a character who panics and has no owner when he encounters problems.

At the moment, he let Da Xiong drive to Beiqufang.

After persimmon asked for directions, the lips were dry and the mouth was dry.

Li Xing's pedestrians finally touched Beiqufang.

Standing in the courtyard, Li Xingzhou raised his eyes and looked around.

It is a courtyard with three entrances, covering an area of about 1,000 square meters.

The house has been renovated, and although it looks a little desolate, it is still largely intact.

It's just that the huge mansion is deserted, and there are about fifty houses in front and back.

Li Xingzhou stood on the steps of the main hall with a blank expression.

Not only him, but even Wei Hanshuang and Persimmon and others, who are used to seeing the world, are also at a loss.

"Brother Yu, this house is not bad."

Big Bear stammered.

"It's just that these are just a few of us, how can we live in such a big mansion?"

Yes, you ask me, who should I ask?

Li Xingzhou, there are only four of them in total.

It's so big, will I get lost when I go to the toilet at night?

Li Xingzhou thought silently in his heart.

。。。

。。。

Looking at the twists and turns paved with gravel,

Li Xingzhou felt that his brain was a little hot.

Can't?

I'm afraid not......

They have no relatives and no reason in Luoyang, and they really have no place to stay if they don't live here.

Guest house?

It doesn't seem very realistic.

"Big bear, the horses are all tethered."

Li Xingzhou felt that it was still step by step.

"Brother Yan, it's already tied...... Here's ....... ”

"Here...... The stables are so big. ”

The big bear is from Orion, and the largest place he has seen in his life is Qinghe County.

At this time, I was also shocked to say bad things.

"yes, I don't think there's any small one."

Li Xingzhou scratched his head, turned his head and said to Wei Hanshuang.

"Sister Wei, let's live in the front yard first, and then think of other ways after we are familiar with the situation."

Parvis?

Even the front yard is very troublesome.

There are about thirty or forty houses, how to arrange them?

Wei Hanshuang also nodded in embarrassment.

"It's the only way to do it......"

"Brother Yan'er, I'll go to the tooth market tomorrow and buy you a few maids back."

"Let you also taste the fragrance of red sleeves."

Cui Anpersim shook his head in a chic manner, waved the gilded fan in his hand, and wrote the four big words "broken sleeves and peach" on it.

"Where's the money?"

Li Xingzhou's words stunned Cui An.

Yes, it is not easy to live in Luoyang.

Li Xing slipped through the house again.

There are three entrances to the house, and the second and third courtyards are directly abandoned by them.

The first entry into the street is a place of entry and exit, and Li Xingzhou and others decided to live here for convenience.

After the four of them packed up the first tile-roofed house, the group went to Beishi to buy bedding and other necessary things.

was busy until dark, and this was a good home in Luoyang.

After settling into the house, a more serious problem was placed in front of the eyes of the four people.

"On that day, Brother Yu boasted about Haikou in front of Cui Quan, saying that he wanted to reflect his value in Luoyang."

"And now? This Cui Baiyi is obviously uneasy and kind. ”

"Without the help of the Cui family, we wouldn't even have a chance to gain a foothold in Luoyang."

Under the night light, Wei Hanshuang said worriedly.

Then the eyes of the three of them were all aimed at the persimmon.

"What are you doing with me?"

"Although my surname is Cui, I am the most uncompetitive one in the Cui family."

Persimmon said embarrassedly, and after saying that, he seemed to remember something.

"Brother Yu is so talented, it's not easy to get a champion."

"When the time comes, I'm afraid that my brothers won't be able to open the situation in Luoyang."

Then the eyes of the three of them were all aimed at Li Xingzhou.

"Ugh"

Li Xingzhou instantly felt that the consequences of being a copyist were very serious!

。。。

。。。

Although Li Xingzhou felt that he had nothing to do with the champion.

But the next day, he and Persimmon still made a direct detour to the end gate at the gate of the imperial city.

After all, in the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination was still a relatively reliable way out.

Li Xingzhou missed the township offering.

If you want to participate in the imperial examination, you can only go to the Ministry of Rites to make up for it.

The two of them went through an extremely detailed inspection at the end door.

After doing the "pass" record, Li Xingzhou and Persimmon finally entered the imperial city of the three provinces and six ministries.

Persimmon took Li Xingzhou straight to the Ministry of Rites, scattered ten pieces of money, and then entered the deep and dark official room of the Ministry of Rites.

It's not that Persimmon is more familiar with the Ministry of Rites, but in this regard, he is stronger than Li Xingzhou.

Like the other five ministries, the Ministry of Rites has four divisions.

The Department of Rites is the head of the four divisions of the Ministry of Rites, and is also known as the chief director of the Ministry of Rites.

The scribe in charge of reporting was not embarrassed by Li Xingzhou for the sake of the five-run money.

Shuang Shuang Lili took out the registration list and asked Li Xingzhou to fill it in.

Li Xingzhou looked at the front of the roster with thoughts.

The scribe immediately went to stop it, but the persimmon instantly stuffed two more pieces of money and pulled aside to talk about Fengyue.

Only then did Li Xingzhou understand how optimistic the situation was.

Before him, at least nearly 700 people had been registered in this register of applications for the status of township tribute students.

This means that at least 700 people have the same heart as him.

You know, it's only July now, and there are still seven months to go until the imperial examination in February next year, and how many people will have to be added to this roster in seven months?

It's a headache to think about.

And in 7 months, it is estimated that four people will starve to death in Luoyang.

And what's even more uneasy is that Persimmon has already gotten the exact news from the doorman just now.

The annual supplement of the township tribute is not the same.

That is to say, it is not that how many township tribute students cannot come to the scientific examination to make up for how many places, but that the maximum quota shall not exceed 100 people.

As is customary in previous years, the examiners will even deliberately lower the number of places in order to avoid the suspicion of fraud.

The 100 places given by the imperial court can be filled to seventy, which is already the limit.

Judging from the current situation of the roster, in the end, there will be at least 1,000 people who will apply for the quota of township tribute students, and more than 1,000 people will compete for a maximum of 70 places, which is really not an ordinary pressure.

After Li Xingzhou quietly finished registering, he wanted to pull the persimmon and turn around to leave.

Maybe it was because Persimmon and the scribe talked about Fengyue too tacitly, so the scribe casually nodded.

If you want to make up for the Zhongxiang Gongsheng to participate in the imperial examination, it is absolutely impossible to go back and die after registering like this.

After all, someone still has to recommend him to Honshiro!

There are three chief officers in the Ministry of Rites, one is the main officer and two deputies, the main position is Langzhong, and the two deputy positions are both non-members.

,The middle finger of this scribe is naturally the head of the main position.。

As for who this "person" who is "recommended", everyone will take care of each other!

After Li Xingzhou thanked the scribe, he left the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial City, and went all the way back to the rented room.

Looking for Cui Baiyi did not meet, and the things reported by the head of the Ministry of Rites had been completed, and Li Xingzhou had nothing to do in the short term.

"Brother Yan'er, why don't we go to Luoyang's Flower Street Willow Lane."

"I heard that there are 40,000 prostitutes in Luoyang."

Persimmon still poked Li Xingzhou heartlessly.

The depressed Li Xing kicked over on Monday.

The conventional methods have been exhausted, and the situation has reached the end of the mountain.

But Li Xingzhou, whose mind was completely calm, began to think deeply about one of the most important questions:

How could he single-handedly fight for the fame of Luodu without help?

Luoyang North City, the crown is full of Jinghua!

On the streets of Beicheng, Li Xingzhou is lonely and haggard!
