Chapter 491: The Pressure of Beans
"What's good?" Li Zhang also asked with a curious look when he saw the mysterious appearance of the raccoon dog.
"I have my own mansion." I saw the raccoon smile proudly at this time.
"Mansion? Where is it? Li Zhang also asked again in surprise when he heard this, and Qingori and Xiuxiu next to him also showed curious looks.
"Right next to our house!" Tanuki replied with a grin.
"Side?" Li Zhang and the three of them also looked at each other a little when they heard this, and after a while, Xiuxiu asked, "But there is only the Huyan family next to us, and there is no other family?" ”
"In the future, it will not be Huyan's house next to it, but my mansion!" At this time, Tanuki was very happy to announce that she had only received a notice from the palace this morning, and this request had been specially made to her mother before, and the result was really fulfilled.
"Huyan's house has become your mansion, so where is their family going?" Li Zhang's eyes widened when he heard this.
"Big brother, don't worry, the queen mother exchanged with them in a mansion that was several times larger than the Huyan family and had a good location, and the Huyan family was very happy to agree to move." The raccoon said very proudly at the moment.
In fact, at the beginning, Empress Dowager Li and Zhao Zhen discussed rewarding Tanuki with a mansion, after all, Miaoyuan has his own mansion, and Tanuki must have it, so he quickly chose a mansion that covers a huge area, but Tanuki didn't like it, and asked that it must be next to Li Zhang's house, and finally Zhao Zhen could only call the people of Huyan's family to discuss, although Huyan's family was a little reluctant to discuss the old mansion, but seeing that the new mansion was big and gorgeous, much stronger than their own house, they would earn several times more just the land price, so they naturally agreed.
Li Zhang couldn't help but pat his head when he heard this, the old mansion of the Huyan family has become the mansion of Tanukier, and the opposite is Miaoyuan's mansion, although these two girls are already sisters, but they still have incompatible personalities, and they live so close, I am afraid that there will be endless lawsuits in the future.
"That's great, you live next door to Tanuki, even if you get married in the future, you can come and go often, and I'm not afraid that no one will talk!" Qingzhi was also very happy at this time, Xiuxiu was getting married, and there was one less person in the family who could talk, although Li Zhang went home every day, she was still alone during the day, so sometimes she felt lonely.
"I won't get married, and I'll follow my eldest brother and sister-in-law in the future!" Tanuki heard Qingzhi's words but said with a shy face, but when she said this, her eyes were a little fluttering, obviously a little weak-hearted, which made Li Zhang also secretly sigh that her sister had really grown up, and it was indeed time to prepare for marriage.
After eating hot pot, Li Zhang walked to a courtyard in the corner of the front yard, this courtyard is very quiet, it is Douzi's residence, he originally did not live here, but later in order to study without being disturbed, so he moved to this quiet courtyard, usually three meals a day are sent here by the next person.
When Li Zhang stepped into the courtyard, he immediately heard the sound of reading from inside, there was a big study room in the yard, Li Zhang walked to the door and knocked on the door, and the sound of reading inside immediately stopped, and then the door opened, and before Li Zhang entered, he didn't expect to send out a tray inside, on which there were dishes and chopsticks that had been eaten.
"Huh? Big brother, why are you here? Douzi was also stunned when he saw Li Zhang outside the door, and then hurriedly put the tray back, he thought it was the next person who delivered the rice to collect the dishes and chopsticks, but he didn't expect it to be Li Zhang.
"I heard that you have been closed during this time, let me see how you are reading, how sure you are of the imperial examination next year?" Li Zhang also entered the room at this time, and Douzi hurriedly invited him to sit down and pour tea.
"No one can say for sure about this kind of thing in the imperial examination, in addition to the usual accumulation, the most important thing is to look at the performance on the spot, so I can't say how sure I am, I can only do my best." Douzi also smiled helplessly at this time.
The imperial examination is the same as the college entrance examination in later generations, it is a test to determine life and death, no matter how well you usually study, but if you do not play well in the examination, then all the previous efforts will be in vain, and the admission rate of the imperial examination is much lower than that of the college entrance examination.
As a person who has experienced the college entrance examination in later generations, Li Zhang can also understand the current pressure of Douzi, and next year's imperial examination is not only related to Douzi's future, but also related to his marriage with Tanuki, thinking of this, Li Zhang also regretted a little, he knew that he should let Tanuki and Douzi get engaged as soon as possible, so that Douzi would not be so embarrassed now.
"Big brother, people can't always have smooth sailing in this life, as the so-called life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, not to mention that you don't know the life experience of Tanuki, so you don't have to think too much, and I believe that I am definitely no worse than anyone else!" Douzi, as Li Zhang's brother, naturally saw what he was thinking at this time, but at the moment he comforted him.
Li Zhang sighed again when he heard this, but then he also adjusted his mood and said: "Actually, I asked people to find out your last year's paper, and I also asked last year's examiner, and the other party said that your article is actually written well, and the disadvantage is that there are several errors in the dictionary, mainly because the foundation is not solid, which is also normal, after all, you are a halfway monk, and most readers have been enlightened since childhood, and it is normal for the foundation to be inferior to others, but you have studied hard in the past year, and the foundation should have been made up, As long as you can play at last year's level, there should be no problem in the middle lift. ”
Li Zhang said that these are the truth, people in the officialdom are beneficial, but it is definitely not okay to help Douzi cheat, because the imperial examination is related to the basis of the imperial court, if it is really related to the fraud of the imperial examination, let alone Li Zhang, even the prime minister cannot afford this responsibility.
Hearing Li Zhang's words, Douzi's expression was also obviously relaxed, the imperial examination is not like the college entrance examination in later generations, and there is no accurate ranking, especially the people who fail the list don't even know where their articles go wrong, so they can only rely on their own blind guesses, and the news that Li Zhang hears now is very important to Douzi, at least he knows what the focus of his next study is.
"Thank you, big brother, I will definitely not live up to everyone's expectations next year!" Douzi quickly assured with a firm expression that this sentence was not only said to Li Zhang, but also to himself.
"I believe in you, but don't put too much pressure on yourself, you have to go out for a walk when you have time, it's not a way to stay in the room and study all the time, in addition, I know a few friends, such as Han Qi, who you also know, he was the leader of the year, if it weren't for being too young, the champion of the year would be his, I will make an appointment with him these days to take you to him and let him teach you some experience." Li Zhang stood up at this time and patted Douzi on the shoulder.
