"Xie Yuan, I have finally become Xie Yuan, you come and pay homage to Master Xie Yuan." Just when Li Hongyu didn't react, the excited voice came again, and it seemed that someone had run out of the room.

"Quick, catch him, catch him!" Immediately after, the voice of an inspecting official sounded outside.

"Alas!" Li Hongyu came back to his senses this time, and shook his head helplessly, he had already realized what was going on, it seemed that some candidates couldn't bear the huge psychological pressure and went crazy, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the imperial examination.

"I'm promoted, I want to go to Beijing to take the exam, I want to be the champion, haha......"

With a burst of messy footsteps, it seemed that there were officials and soldiers on patrol who rushed up to catch the crazy candidate, but the candidate's laughter came from far and near, as if he ran to Li Hongyu's side, and it seemed that those officials and soldiers did not control the person in the first place.

Li Hongyu couldn't help but lift the tarpaulin blocking the door of the room, and then he was stunned, only to see a tall candidate running towards him naked, perhaps because his strength was too great, or maybe his body was too slippery, and the officials and soldiers in charge of interception failed to catch him.

With a plop, just as the candidate who happened ran in front of Li Hongyu, two soldiers flew up and threw him to the ground, followed by more people who pressed down, pressing the candidate tightly to the ground.

"Quick, tie him up and send him out, don't disturb others." A Jiupin official walked up, pointed to the candidate who was pressed under him by everyone and shouted, you must know that if there is a mess in the township test, they will be unlucky to follow the invigilators and inspectors.

"Let go of me, I'm Xie Yuan, I'm the champion, you dare to be disrespectful to Lord Ben, look at how Lord Ben cut off your head!"

Under the gaze of Li Hongyu and the candidates in the nearby room, the crazy candidate was tied up by Wuhuada, and then carried away, struggling and shouting like crazy.

In order to avoid affecting the rest of the candidates' exams, the crazy candidates will be sent out, and because the door of the dormitory is locked and cannot be opened, they can only be pushed out of a hole where the food is delivered, and the whole body will be searched when leaving.

However, since the examinee has already stripped off, the procedure of the body search can be waived.

After the candidate was sent away, the candidates in the room along the way put down the oilcloth curtains, secretly feeling sorry for him, and the cold window was ruined after years of hard study.

Li Hongyu couldn't help but feel a little lucky, he was undoubtedly lucky, he had been exposed to a lot of excellent Bagu literature because of his major, and he had read a lot of articles on the Ming and Qing dynasties, Bangyan, and Tanhua, plus "Little Li Hongyu" had a solid cultural foundation.

This advantage is incomparable to those scholars today, so that he can easily take the test, so that he will not be trapped by the topic, and then scratch his ears and cheeks, and be helpless.

To tell the truth, this way of writing Baguwen is very old-fashioned, not only has restrictions on the format and number of words, but also can only quote the sage's commentary on the Four Books and Five Classics to answer the questions, and is not allowed to have their own opinions and opinions.

This makes many people write while making up random words, not only according to the format to make up the number of words, but also to achieve the required dual effect, on the surface it looks like a flower, look closely at the following is not the topic, nonsense.

However, this number of words is not so easy to make, especially the four sets of dual sentences are difficult for many people, and it also requires a certain amount of skills to be successfully completed.

It is no wonder that the candidates went to great lengths to bring in the cheat sheets, and the invigilators and soldiers did not care about the things in the room, so as long as they could bring the cheat sheets in, they could copy them to their heart's content, and then choose the sentences they needed according to the exam questions, and the possibility of winning the exam was undoubtedly increased.

In fact, there have been more terrible things than crazy in the township test, because the number room of the township test is only used once every three years, although it will be cleaned before the examination, but there may be poisonous snakes and scorpions in the cracks of the wall or bricks, some candidates are more unlucky, and they are bitten to death by poison in the number room during the exam, so they can only resign themselves to fate.

Finally, after two days of idleness in the number room, on the afternoon of August 11, the first session of the township test ended.

After handing in the papers, the candidates walked out of their respective rooms and stood in line in front of the number room, and the officials in charge of collecting the papers collected the examination papers one by one, and pasted the places with the names and other information on the examination papers on the spot.

Although the first exam is over, the candidates cannot leave the Gongyuan, they have to continue to stay in the Gongyuan to take the second exam, but they cannot stay in the original number room, and they must be reassigned to a new number room, called "changing the field", to avoid the possibility of cheating as much as possible.

After each test, there must be a "change of room", so although the township test takes nine days, if you exclude the two nights of "changing the field", the actual time of the exam is nine days and seven nights.

Li Hongyu was transferred to the Bingyi District Code Building this time, and he had to spend the night in the room of the Bingyi District Code Building to meet the second exam starting the next day.

Take advantage of this time to systematically replenish the areas with charcoal fires, clean water, candles, and clean latrines, otherwise they will be cut off from the outside once they are locked.

Compared with the first game, the second field of arguments, judgments, edicts, edicts, chapters, tables and the third field of policy is much simpler, but also much more practical, is the candidate's favorite topic, so this is naturally difficult to **** Hongyu, very smoothly completed the second field of answers.

The time of the third session of the township examination is more special, it was chosen on August 15, which is the annual Mid-Autumn Festival, which is a day for a family reunion to enjoy the bright moon, but for those students who take the township examination, they can only stay in the tribute courtyard honestly.

At night, Li Hongyu supported his chin with one hand, staring intently at the bright moon hanging in the sky, and the oilcloth hanging on the door of the number room had been removed by him, so that he could better appreciate the moon, anyway, he had finished answering, and he was idle.

Unconsciously, Li Hongyu has been in this world for a year, too many things have happened in the past year, although he has suffered some grievances, but more importantly, he has survived, and made some trustworthy friends, and has gained a lot.

To be honest, Li Hongyu likes this kind of comfortable and harmonious life, but unfortunately this kind of life cannot last long, and he must prepare for the chaos in 20 years.

"I don't know if I can spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing next year." After a long time, Li Hongyu whispered to himself, unless he can be named on the gold list next year, it is pointless to stay in the capital, even if he has the ability, no one will take a fancy to a small lifter.

Moreover, due to the urgency of time, Li Hongyu can only improve the starting point of his career, and only in this way can he be more prepared before the chaos comes.

At the same time, the garden in the backyard of the Lee Mansion.

Li Hongqing gathered the people in the family to have a reunion dinner and admire the moon, in addition to Li Renhe, the Li family was all present, and it is worth mentioning that the people present also included Qin Yue, the future young lady of the Li family's third room.

Although Qin Yue has not yet passed the door, since Li Hongyu has offended even Zhang Quan, the little marquis, for her, then in everyone's opinion, Qin Yue's young lady is nine out of ten.

"Manager, this is He Shou Wu sent by Boss Zhang, it is said that it has grown for a thousand years, and it is given to Miss Qin to replenish her body." Just when everyone was talking and laughing, a subordinate walked in, holding a red brocade box in both hands and said to Li Hongqing.

Although Li Hongqing is Li Hongyu's half-brother and is in charge of the Li family's third-room property in Wuchang City, he is a concubine after all, and his mother is from a low background, so he cannot become a "young master" or "son" in the mouth of his subordinates, so he became the "chief manager", indicating that he is guarding the family business for Li Hongyu.

"The thousand-year-old He Shou Wu?" Li Hongqing was slightly stunned when he heard this, so he reached out and took the brocade box and opened it, there was a purple humanoid He Shou Wu inside, with a head and limbs, looking like a newborn baby, absolutely old.

"Second Miss, even if this He Shou Wu plant has a hundred years even if it is not a thousand years, it is really a great supplement, and according to the folk saying, it has the effect of reviving the dead." Li Hongqing has been honing in the Li family's business for many years, so he is naturally well-informed, and he recognized the origin of the He Shou Wu at a glance, and handed it to Qin Yue on the side with a smile.

Obviously, that Boss Zhang wanted to use this He Shou Wu to curry favor with Qin Yue, and he really spent a lot of thought, this gift was both precious and pleasing.

"This gift is too valuable, and I can't accept it." Hearing this, Qin Yue hurriedly waved her hand, Boss Zhang's gift this time was obviously for Li Hongqing, so how could she easily accept this generous gift?

"Since he sent it, then the second lady will accept it with peace of mind." Li Hongqing saw Qin Yue's concerns, smiled and said, "Boss Zhang has made a lot of money from our fabric business this time, of course he has to find a way to please Second Miss, in order to cooperate with us for a long time." ”

"Fabric business?" Qin Yue suddenly showed a look of surprise on her face when she heard this.

Although she knew that Li Hongqing had an industry in Wuchang City, she never imagined that Li Hongqing, who had just arrived, would gain a firm foothold in the fiercely competitive Wuchang business community so quickly, and get a share of the cloth business controlled by big cloth merchants, and it seemed that his cloth business was doing very well, otherwise how could Boss Zhang give away this precious He Shou Wu?

"The third brother has dyed a brightly colored cloth that is not easy to fade according to the secret method of the Western Regions, and it sells well in the market, and that Boss Zhang wants to cooperate with us for a long time, so he sent this He Shou Wupan relationship."

Li Hongqing smiled, and said proudly in his words, "The third brother wants to deal with a powerful businessman like Boss Zhang, so we must accept this gift." ”

"Secret Law of the Western Regions!" Hearing this, the look on Qin Yue's face was even more surprised, no matter what, he couldn't imagine that Li Hongyu, who usually looked introverted and wooden, would have such ability.

"Second Miss, if the third brother is able to enter Beijing, there will be a lot of expenses to be spent, maybe this He Shou Wu can come in handy."

Seeing Qin Yue there in a daze, Li Hongqing smiled and said, he didn't know that Li Hongyu was quite jealous of Qin Yue, so he rightly thought that Qin Yue would become Li Hongyu's wife.

As for the mysterious woman who was engaged to Li Hongyu, Li Hongqing didn't take it to heart, after all, the other party has not been in touch for so many years, and it has already broken Zhao's heart, even if the other party is willing to fulfill the marriage contract, Zhao will find an excuse to refuse.

"Then the little sister is better to be respectful than to obey her fate." Qin Yue came back to her senses, smiled at Li Hongqing, and then asked Xiaolan on the side to accept the He Shou Wu plant, just as Li Hongqing said, maybe it will come in handy in the future.

At the same time, Qin Yue secretly felt extremely puzzled in her heart, first she acted in a play with Rou'er in Mingyue Pavilion, and now Li Hongqing unexpectedly told her about the fabric business, she really couldn't understand what kind of person Li Hongyu was who had been bullied before and looked extremely cowardly.
