In the shop of Baoyan Zhai on the royal street, Li Daqi was anxious and waiting for the news, he almost didn't sleep all night, today is the day of the imperial examination, although he comforted his son not to care too much about whether he can be admitted, it's a big deal to start all over again, but in fact, he is more nervous than anyone else, and he looks forward to his son being admitted to the Jinshi more than anyone else, which is not only his biggest regret, but also an unforgettable shame in his life.

If his son was average, he would not have this expectation, but his son once took the first place in Xiangzhou, which planted a seed of hope in his heart, and Tangyin County has not been out of the imperial examination for 30 years, although there are also a few people from the same jinshi, like the second brother Li Wensi of the old family owner Li Wenyou, Zhang Xing of Tangbei Township, etc., but they are all Taixue Tongjinshi origin, not the imperial examination jinshi.

How much Li Daqi hopes that his son can become the first real jinshi in Tangyin County in thirty years, and his father and grandfather can be under Jiuquan.

At this moment, 'Crackle crackles!' began to sound in the distance. The sound of firecrackers, this is someone celebrating the children's list, Li Daqi's heart was extremely nervous, his neck was sour, he asked Tie Zhu and Li Yanbiao to go to see the list early in the morning, but these two people never came back, Li Daqi was anxious, "Did Yanqing pass the exam?" ’

"Let's take a rest first!"

Mrs. Sun persuaded: "Maybe there are too many people watching the list, and Tie Zhu and Yan Biao haven't squeezed in yet." ”

"The two of them are so strong, how can they not squeeze in, I am afraid that Yanqing will not pass the exam, and these two guys will not dare to come back to see me."

As soon as Li Daqi's words fell, a female clerk pointed to the distance and shouted, "Are those two them?" ”

Li Daqi hurriedly ran out of the store, only to see two people rushing over, running out of breath, it was Tie Zhu and Li Yanbiao, Li Daqi hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Exam.... Did you pass the exam? His voice trembled.

"Hit!"

Tie Zhu panted and shouted, "Little official.... Got the test! ”

Li Yanbiao also hurriedly said: "We have seen his name, and the exam number is also correct." ”

Li Daqi screamed, fainted suddenly, and fell straight to the ground, everyone panicked, and pushed and pushed, "Wake up!" Wake up! ”

At this time, Mrs. Sun gritted her teeth, pulled out the golden hairpin on her head, and stabbed it into Li Daqi's people, 'Ah! Li Daqi woke up, and Gu Lu sat up, startling everyone.

"Outside, are you alright?"

"I'm fine! I'm so excited! ”

Li Daqi couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, got up and ran to the store, shouting as he ran: "I passed the exam!" My son got the test! ”

"Shopkeeper, is there something other than the big one?" Tie Zhu asked in a worried whisper.

"What nonsense!"

Mrs. Sun knocked on the top of his head, "Why don't you go to the cannon battle, what are you doing in a daze?" ”

"Hey!"

Tie Zhu and Li Yanbiao hurriedly ran to the backyard to get firecrackers, and not long after, a deafening sound of firecrackers crackled in front of Baoyan's door.

Li Daqi was excited, and immediately announced that all the guys and craftsmen of Baoyan Zhai and Li Ji Rouge Shop would each be rewarded with ten yuan to congratulate the junior officials on being admitted to the Jinshi, and for a while, everyone was happy.

However, after all, Li Daqi was also a scholar who had participated in the imperial examination, of course he knew that there would be a palace examination after the provincial examination, but he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, so he immediately asked Mrs. Sun to go to Zhongshan Yuanzi opposite Tang's Inn to book a banquet.

He is going to feast and drink with his fellow villagers in the capital tonight to celebrate his son's entrance examination.

．．．．．．．．

At night, a few families in Bianjing City were happy and a few worried, and the scholars who failed to make the list packed their bags gloomily, preparing to return to their hometowns tomorrow to continue their studies hard, and come back after three years, while the scholars on the list put on wine to celebrate and celebrate Jinbang High School.

In the Zhongshan Garden, more than 100 fellow villagers from Tangyin County gathered together to warmly congratulate Li Yanqing on his entrance examination.

Li Daqi accepted everyone's congratulations, his face smiled, he raised his glass to everyone: "By the love of all the villagers, this month I am double happy, first a middle-aged daughter, and then my son is angry, admitted to the Jinshi, I want me Li Daqi has gone through ups and downs, hard work, and I wish you all the best wishes, thank you for your support, we have a toast." ”

"Cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all, and Li Daqi waved his hand and said, "Everyone drink happily, let go of your stomach and eat!" ”

Laughter erupted in the lobby, "You're welcome!" ”

Everyone began to eat, and the dishes rang out.

Several of the fellow villagers sitting next to Li Daqi are all good people in the capital, but most of them are businessmen, and some court officials from Tangyin are not listed, such as Li Wensi, Zhang Xing and others, on the one hand, it is because they are busy with affairs and have no time to take care of the friendship of their fellow villagers, on the other hand, and the most important reason, the court officials look down on these low-level fellow villagers and disdain to be with them.

Sitting next to Li Daqi is Tang Zhengzong, an old friend who just came from Tangyin County, that is, Tang Huai's uncle, because of Li Yanqing, Tang Zhengzong was authorized by Bao Yan Zhai to open a Bao Yan Zhai branch in the Daimyo Mansion, Li Daqi invested in three parts, and the Tang family monopolized seven parts, which is also the only branch where Li Daqi only occupies a small share.

Tang Zhengzong came to the capital to report on the operation of the branch last year, but he happened to meet Li Yanqing in the Jinshi examination, he was also very excited, and smiled at Li Daqi: "I still remember that Brother Qing participated in the prodigy competition that year, and the county magistrate told me at that time that if Yanqing can be taught by a famous teacher, he will be able to be admitted to the Jinshi in the future, and thanks to the fact that he met Master Yao and was carefully taught by Master Yao, it is a pity that Master Yao still did not see the day when Brother Qing was admitted to the Jinshi." ”

Li Daqi also sighed and said, "I also hope that Master Yao's spirit in the sky can see it." ”

At this time, Li Gouer and several other fellow villagers came over with wine glasses and asked with a smile: "After talking for a long time, where is the little member?" ”

Li Daqi apologized to everyone: "He has to take the palace test the day after tomorrow, and he can't drink, so I didn't let him come today, please understand." ”

An old man said with a smile: "We all understand, but I want to remind Li Yuanwai that it is time to consider lifelong events for Xiao Yuanwai, don't be robbed of marriage, I heard that many powerful families are ready, just wait for the palace to try to release the list!" ”

"Lao Yu's words can't keep up, the palace test is a powerful family to rob the marriage, many ordinary big families start now, will the first and second lists of the palace test get them in turn?"

Li Daqi suddenly added his thoughts, his son lives in Taixue, will someone go to rob the marriage overnight? He was really worried in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Everyone, wait a while, I'll come when I go." ”

He walked out of the lobby quickly, wrote a note on the counter, and handed it to the shopkeeper, "Please send someone to Baoyanzhai and give this note to Shopkeeper Sun, she should be there!" ”

"Li Yuanwai, don't worry, I'll let the guy go!"

Where can Li Daqi rest assured, his son's marriage is a big deal, he is afraid that his son will be young and vigorous, and he will be robbed of his marriage in a daze, and he will enter the cave house in a daze, although his son knows martial arts, but this kind of thing is not martial arts can resist, Li Daqi was worried, and he was not interested for a while.

..........

Li Daqi's worries are not superfluous, although the powerful families are staring at the A and B lists after the palace examination, but for most of the big families in Bianjing, including middle-level officials and many high-level officials in name only, they can't wait for that time.

Of the more than 560 jinshi, more than half of them have wives and children over the age of 30, and only a small number of the more than 20 jinshi are just young, among which the young jinshi under the age of 20 are even rarer, it is said that there are less than 20 people, so on the night of the announcement, all the families began to act.

In a guest room on the second floor of the Yi Nan Inn, Zhou Chun was packing his luggage, he originally lived in a room with Hong Dazhi, after Hong Dazhi left, he lived alone, but from tomorrow he will also move to the Gongyuan.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and the shopkeeper said, "Zhou Guanren, hot water has been delivered." ”

Zhou Chun hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, only to see the shopkeeper walking in with a basin of hot water and a smile, Zhou Chun hurriedly thanked, "Just let the guy carry the water, and I have to bother the shopkeeper, I'm really sorry!" ”

"Where is this, Zhou Guanren is the first Jinshi in the small shop in ten years, and it is a blessing for the villain to deliver water to Zhou Guanren."

"The shopkeeper is too polite, Zhou doesn't dare to be it!"

"In fact, Zhou officials can bring their wives and children to live together, and the small shop is willing to provide free accommodation for ten days, so it is not bad for the lady and her children to come to the capital to play, or the small shop will help Zhou Guanren do this?"

Zhou Chun smiled, "I'm really ashamed, I haven't married yet, and I don't have a wife or children at home." ”

As soon as Zhou Chun's voice fell, a person walked in with a smile outside, clasped his fists and saluted: "Below is the butler of the tall general of the left guard, and I have come to invite Zhou Guanren to dine in the mansion by the general's order." ”

Zhou Chun secretly screamed that it was not good, and hurriedly said: "I have already had dinner, please tell the general, thank him for his kindness, and I will visit another day!" ”

"Just go and drink a glass of water and wine, the banquet has been arranged, it's not good not to go!"

"I'm going to the Gongyuan tomorrow to take the palace exam, I really don't have time, I promise, I will come to visit after the exam."

The butler turned back and said, "Come and persuade you!" ”

Suddenly, five or six women in their thirties walked in from outside, all of them were strong, and they hugged Zhou Chun and said with a smile: "We are all women, don't embarrass the officials, Zhou officials, please!" ”

They said please, but they were very spicy, hugged his waist from behind, lifted his legs, ignored Zhou Chun's struggle, and forcibly carried him out, a woman smiled and said: "Zhou Guanren's hand is touching in my arms, do you want to rub my oil and water!" ”

Zhou Chun was startled, he didn't dare to move his hands, and he didn't dare to scream, he was so distressed in his heart that he was carried downstairs by a group of women and hugged into a carriage.

The butler was very satisfied, took out twenty taels of silver and handed it to the shopkeeper, "This is your reward, thank you!" ”

Poor Zhou Chun didn't know that at this time of year, the shopkeepers of the major inns would make a small fortune, and they would provide the news of the Jinshi of the store to the tooth media, and the tooth media would contact the big families again.

As soon as he came back in the afternoon, he was targeted by the Gao family.

The shopkeeper only hated that there was only one jinshi in his shop, and if there were a few more jinshi, wouldn't he make a fortune.
