"Let's go, your aunt is waiting. Let's go to your aunt's house first, your second cousin and you will go to the county school together, and you will report together tomorrow. "Grabbed Li Zisheng's hand and went directly to Li Zisheng's aunt's house in the north of the city.

"The Mansion."

Two stone lions stood at the door, an elegant woman and a tall child stood at the door together, and when they saw Li Zisheng and his father walking in the distance, they hurriedly trotted to him.

Li Zisheng put down the package in his hand and said hello respectfully.

"Auntie, second cousin."

"Haha, I heard that Xiaosheng is a prodigy, I didn't expect to see him for a few years, so knowledgeable." Mrs. Ruya is Li Zisheng's aunt Li Qinglian, the second in the Li family, the only daughter in her father's generation, the aunt has two sons under her knees, and the second cousin Wang Qianlang in front of her is three years older than herself, and the eldest cousin Wang Qianxiu, who has not yet met, is now in the army, and I heard that he has also become a petty official, which can be said to be an extremely glorious lintel.

"Haha, my cousin heard that you worshipped Master Cheng as your enlightenment teacher, I was really envious, Master Cheng rarely accepts disciples, thinking that cousin you have such a good opportunity, envy for your brother." The ten-year-old second cousin is obviously very well nourished, and his height at this time has surpassed that of his aunt, almost the same as that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old.

Li Zisheng looked at people in a slight way, and the second cousin's eyes were slowly full of envy when he looked at him, but he did not have any jealousy, which is enough to prove that the second cousin's virtue is the same. is not like a false person, thinking of this, Li Zisheng immediately smiled, he was too careful, everyone here is his dearest. Maybe it's because the modern lack of relatives has set up too many fortresses in my heart, so I am so vigilant when I see a person.

"Come on, cousin, I heard from my mother that you can also use the art of disambiguation, you are only eight years old now, then you must have an unlimited future in the future." After that, he pulled Li Zisheng into the courtyard.

His uncle is a businessman who travels from south to north, and it will take several months to return when he goes out to do business at this time, so Li Zisheng doesn't need to visit his uncle. simply followed my cousin directly. The aunt didn't stop her, pulled down Li Zisheng's father, and ordered her subordinates to make some food, saying that it was getting late today, and she would return tomorrow, and as for Li Zisheng, she entrusted it to her, so that the old mother and the Wang family did not have to worry.

Li Zisheng was arranged to live temporarily in the eldest cousin's room, and the eldest cousin enlisted in the army and would not easily go home for several years, so it didn't hurt to stay in this room.

The next day, it was overcast, and the snowflakes that had started last night had stopped, and it was blank outside.

Early in the morning, Li Zisheng's father had already turned the tide, and if he waited until the snow was falling, the road would be difficult to walk. At this time, Li Zisheng and Wang Qianlang also had breakfast, this is the day of school, and the aunt will clean up a pair of books for the two, which looks polite.

The two brothers carried a bookbag on their backs, and their hair was tied up with a headband, according to normal rules, the age of admission to the county school is generally nine or ten years old, and Li Zisheng can directly enter the county school at the age of eight, and the reason is also inseparable from Cheng Zhongliang.

The county school is a larger academy, the gate of the academy is not the grandeur of Li Zisheng's imagination, just the size of the general door, of course, the Huile Academy is larger than the general county academy, because of the special geographical location of the county, the door is a pair of couplets on both sides, on the book cloud "He'an Li is reluctant to learn, through the world and people are talented". Seeing this couplet, Li Zisheng's heart was also full of blood, and he was really atmospheric, and a couplet showed the true meaning of learning.

Outside the Huile County Academy, there are many people, in groups of threes and twos, among them, there are many adult scholars, as well as a lot of Turkic Hu people, all together. Seeing this scene, Li Zisheng also sighed in his heart, this is just a county school, if it is a state school or even the last Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies, what kind of style will it be.

"Come on, come on, get in line." The person in charge of the academy came out and said hello, and the noisy crowd began to quiet down, and the students who entered the school lined up one after another, and their relatives were waiting on the other side.

"Hurry up, cousin, let's hurry up and get ahead, or we won't be able to get a good dormitory if we don't wait." Wang Qianlang dragged Li Zisheng and hurriedly lined up with a large bag and a small bag. Although Li Zisheng is eight years old, his nutrition is no different from that of the ten-year-old children around him. Of course, Wang Qianlang is an exception, he is really a little tall, just standing there, there is a feeling of standing out from the crowd.

"Name, age, place of origin, do you have a referee?" The person who recorded it was very familiar with the process and blurted out four questions.

"Wang Qianlang, ten years old, from Huile County, Lingzhou, recommended by Lord Zheng Jun, the cloud cavalry captain, this is a letter of recommendation." The recorder took the letter of recommendation from Wang Qianlang's hand.

"Come, take the sign, and stand on the left." The recorder gave Wang Qianlang a sign, and Li Zisheng also found that all the people standing on the left were relatively strong, while on the right were some children who were more bookish and angry.

"Li Zisheng, eight years old, from Tianshui Village, Huile County, recommender Cheng Zhongliang, this is a letter of recommendation." The recorder immediately raised his head after hearing this.

"Ao, you are the Li Zisheng that Cheng Fuzi said, a little prodigy. Haha, come on, come on, take this sign, go straight in, you can put these things behind me, and someone will send them to your dormitory later. The recorder looked at Li Zisheng with a smile.

The people around saw this situation and immediately understood, this person named Li Zisheng must have a great backstage, this recorder has seen I don't know how many officials' children, and there has never been a time when he has such a courteous attitude, this Li Zisheng wants to be good friends with him.

"Okay, thank you." Li Zisheng made a gesture, and the recorder smiled happily.

"Cousin, then I'll go in first, I'll wait for you inside."

"Yes, okay."

"Brother, is this your cousin? It's majestic. The one in the back looked at Wang Qianlang with envy. Wang Qianlang is naturally proud, as if the protagonist is himself.

After entering the Huile Academy, Li Zisheng understood why he would issue a sign at the door, as soon as he entered this Huile Academy, there was a relatively large courtyard inside, surrounded by a wall, and if he continued to walk inside, he would see three gates, the three doors were different, the first and rightmost ones were written on the Wencai Pavilion, the third on the far left was written on the Wucai Pavilion, and the middle one was written naked enough, and it was written on the Genius Pavilion.

Li Zisheng also trembled in his heart, this is inevitably too straightforward, he looked at the sign in his hand, which said Tianzi, and his cousin's brand just glanced at it, and it was written with a martial character. Presumably, I need to enter the genius hall.

Li Zisheng walked into the genius hall with an awkward face.
