After three busy days, Li Yanqing felt like a puppet, eating and walking had to be arranged by others, and he went to three banquets alone, extremely glorious and exhausted, and when all this was over, it was finally time to return home. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before dawn, the shopkeeper Wang sent their father and son out of the inn, Li Yanqing turned over and hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Shopkeeper Wang for taking care of me for more than a month, we will have a period later!" ”

Shopkeeper Wang said with a smile: "It should be that I thank the little official for letting me make a small fortune this time, and I earned eighty yuan from ten yuan, and when the little official goes to the capital to take the imperial examination, I will bet another hundred yuan!" ”

"I will definitely inform the shopkeeper!"

Li Yanqing laughed, and then ran towards the south city gate, Li Daqi also hurriedly urged the horse to follow, and the shopkeeper Wang kept looking at them and walked away, and then turned around and smiled at a few guys: "Send the words left by the little officials to be pasted, this is Xie Yuan's ink treasure, let's hang it on the main hall, and you will still worry about no business in the future?" ”

"Still the shopkeeper is shrewd!"

The shopkeeper Wang hurried to the backyard to send the pigeon letter, he just walked to the backyard, suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly ran back to a few guys and shouted: "A few of you clean up the Xie Yuan house where the little officials lived, try to keep it as it is, just now several scholars who participated in the state test rushed to live, if they asked about the price, tell them that the price has risen, it will be tripled, and it will not be a penny less!" ”

........

This time, a total of 127 scholars in Tangyin County participated in the state examination, and four of them were successful, except for Li Yanqing, the other three were too students, including Yang Yu of Yuli Town, and the other two were county scholars, with the deepest reading background and the most reference scholars Tangbei Township did not pass the examination, but Xiaohe Township shined, and Li Yanqing of their township won the understanding yuan.

This news not only made Xiaohe Township ecstatic, but also made Tangyin County boiling, after Li Yanqing Zhongjieyuan's news came, the sound of artillery in Tangyin County rang out for a whole day.

In the past 40 years, Tangyin County has only twice won the first place in Xiangzhou's solution test, and it is a coincidence that in addition to Li Yanqing, the other person is his father Li Daqi, Li Daqi has fallen ten years ago, which has brought shame to Tangyin County and Xiaohe Township, but ten years later, his son has risen again and won back the honor for Tangyin County and Xiaohe Township.

As soon as Li Yanqing's father and son left Anyang County, Wang sent a pigeon letter to Tang Zhengzong, the proprietor of Tang Ji Inn, telling Tang Zhengzong about Li Yanqing's itinerary.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, Wang Gui was a little anxious, "Did Lao Li start to put up a shelf after being admitted to Xie Yuan, why didn't he show up now?" ”

Tang Huai knocked his head with a small gold fan, "If my sister marries you, my nephew doesn't know how stupid he should be, and he will be angry with me." ”

Wang Gui turned his head and glared at him, "What do you mean by this, are you calling me stupid?" ”

Yue Fei hurriedly played a round, "Lao Gui is just a little anxious, but don't say what Lao Gui said just now, if Lao Li hears it, I don't know how sad he should be, after so many years of friendship, Lao Li is not that kind of person." ”

Wang Gui scratched his head, "What I said just now was wrong, I will be careful, but you stinky boy ......"

Wang Gui glared at Tang Huai fiercely, "You kid dare to knock me on the head with a fan in the future!" ”

Tang Huai pursed his lips and fanned his little fan, as if he hadn't heard anything.

At this moment, someone suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted, "Is that them?" ”

Everyone looked at the northern official road together, only to see two people on horseback on the official road in the distance, running towards the north city gate one after the other, running to the front, everyone cheered together, and the person in front was Li Yanqing, who they had been waiting for for nearly an hour.

Tang Zhengzong shouted excitedly: "The gongs and drums are beating!" ”

Li Yanqing returned to his heart like an arrow, the father and son only rested for an hour halfway, they ran all the way south, saw the north gate of the county, suddenly the gongs and drums in front of them were loud, more than 100 villagers beat gongs and drums to meet them, Li Yanqing, who was running in front, couldn't help but restrain the horses, he saw Yue Fei and the three of them at a glance, and immediately felt overjoyed, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted to meet them.

The three of them haven't seen each other for more than a month, and they are particularly affectionate, Wang Gui gave Li Yanqing a punch in the shoulder socket, and actually beat Li Yanqing to a stumbling moment, Wang Gui said triumphantly: "How about it, my strength is not worse than yours, I have a lot of experience in practicing big knives now, and we will compete again tomorrow!" ”

Tang Huai pushed him away, "Go!" Now who hears you to show off, it is not to meet you. ”

Wang Gui was choked by Tang Huai's words, and was speechless for a long time, Yue Fei stepped forward and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Lao Li for taking the exam, the pride of our Tangyin County!" ”

Li Yanqing scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Everyone is overrated, this time it's just a fluke!" ”

Wang Gui finally interjected again, and hurriedly said: "How can there be so many lucks, the first in the Boys' Club, the first in the county exam, the first in the county exam, and now the first in the exam, if Lao Li goes to participate in the martial arts, he must also be the first." ”

"Can you speak? You yourself dragged Lao Li into the water all day long thinking about Wu Zhuangyuan, people are going to take the champion, they won't take your martial champion, and Wu Zhuangyuan is already surnamed Tang! ”

As he spoke, Tang Huai shook his small fan and glanced at Wang Gui with disdain.

"How's Master?" Li Yanqing is most concerned about Master Yao Ding now.

Yue Fei smiled and said, "Master was so excited that he burst into tears when he heard your news!" ”

"I'm going to see Master, I'm going to ..... tomorrow morning."

The sound of gongs and drums became louder and louder, covering up their speech, and a group of juniors rushed forward, and without saying anything, they lifted Li Yanqing high, and a cheer broke out outside the city.

Li Yanqing was very moved, clasped his fists high with both hands and said: "Thank you for the love of the villagers, Yanqing deserves it!" ”

"Brother Qing is too modest!"

Tang Zhengzong led a horse dressed in red and walked forward and said with a smile: "I didn't ride a horse to the streets last time in the county test, so this time it should be no problem!" ”

"No problem!"

The descendants were already impatient, and answered for Li Yanqing, in a laugh, everyone surrounded Li Yanqing on the horse, and more than a dozen people in front of him beat gongs and drums to open the way, waving the banner of 'Xie Yuan returns to his hometown', and more than 100 filial piety and villagers surrounded Li Yanqing and went to the county seat.

Li Daqi saw this scene in the back, and couldn't help but think of his own horseback riding on the street, wasn't he also helped up the horses by the villagers and beat gongs and drums into the city?

In the past two days, he was really in a complicated mood, thinking about it, the corners of his eyes were a little moist again, Tang Zhengzong walked in front of Li Daqi, stood side by side with him, looked at the back of Li Yanqing in the distance and said with a smile: "Did Daqi think of himself back then, I still remember that I was like this group of descendants, helping you to get on the horse, beating gongs and drums and going into the city, more than ten years have passed in this flash, and we are all old." ”

Li Daqi hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Yes!" More than ten years have passed in a flash, and now it is the world of children, and it is not okay to not accept the old! ”

"By the way, I met your patriarch in Lushan Town yesterday, your patriarch wanted to set up wine at the ancestral hall to congratulate Brother Qing'er, he asked me to ask what you mean, if Brother Qing can attend, then he will set a date."

Li Daqi sneered and said, "I'm afraid he's still for himself!" ”

Li Daqi had already heard that after Li Wengui became the patriarch, he privately sold the thousands of Shiyi warehouse grain that the family had accumulated for many years, but the money from the sale of grain was nowhere to be found, and there was no account to check, which angered all the clansmen and caused his prestige to plummet.

The Li clansmen of Li Wencun and Qianshan Village have publicly stated that they will not participate in the clan sacrifice presided over by Li Wengui on the first day of the first lunar month, but will prepare to worship their ancestors.

Now Li Wengui wants to use the opportunity of Qing'er to save his prestige, he wants to be beautiful, how can Qing'er agree?

Although he has not yet told his son what is happening in the family, he has decided to block all the upsetting entertainment for his son.

Li Daqi shook his head and said: "Please tell Li Wengui that I will congratulate Qing'er with wine in Li Wencun, thank you for his 'kindness'!" ”

Tang Zhengzong was also very aware of the Li family's problems, he just changed the word, and he would not persuade Li Daqi, so he smiled, "Okay! I'll tell Li Wengui's son today. ”

........

At this time, the city of Tangyin County was already boiling, and tens of thousands of people in Tangyin County gathered on both sides of the street to welcome their young Xie Yuan's return.

The Great Song Dynasty attached great importance to the scholars not only in the court, but in the hearts of every common man in the Great Song Dynasty, only by reading can there be a way out, only by reading can you become an official and make a fortune, and only by reading can you enjoy the welcome of the people......

Li Yanqing was admitted to Xie Yuan not only to earn a future for himself, but also to Tangyin County brought a great surprise, last year Tangyin County did not get any of them, but Linzhang County was admitted to twelve, and also won the second and third places, which made the people of Tangyin County feel extremely humiliated, and this time Li Yanqing was admitted to understand the Yuan, all the Tangyin people raised their eyebrows, and they cheered from the bottom of their hearts.

The crackling sound of artillery battles came and went, streamers and copper coins were thrown at Li Yanqing like raindrops, cheers and applause resounded throughout the county, this moment is not only the glory of Li Yanqing, not only the glory of Xiaohe Township, but the glory of the entire Tangyin County.
