Chapter 230: Participating in the Entrance Examination
The remaining days are getting fewer and less, and the time is getting more and more tense, sometimes when Lin Huiru accompanies Xu Ziqiao home from class, he can see Li Ji, who is a hanger on weekdays, holding a book.
Lin Huiru joked that he worked too hard, Li Ji could only smile bitterly, "My talent is not as good as Brother Xu, I barely got into the lift, Brother Xu is Xie Yuan, this time I will try it will be no problem, if I can't get in, it will be miserable." ”
"If you work weekdays, you won't be crammed now." After Xu Ziqiao joined him again, the two parted ways.
This Xie Yuan shocked Lin Huiru, it turned out that Xu Ziqiao was still a Xie Yuan, Xie Yuan won the first place among the people, but Li Ji can also be selected on weekdays, I don't know whether to say that the township test is too lax, or Li Ji is deeply hidden.
"I didn't expect my father-in-law to be so powerful, so there must be no problem in the next few days." Lin Huiru patted Xu Ziqiao's shoulder to cheer him on.
Xu Ziqiao smiled, "I won't disappoint the lady, I will face the saint when the results of the trial are out, and then we will be faster, maybe we can take you to play in the imperial city for a few more days." ”
"I'm afraid that only you are in the mood to say this on such an important day, I see that those who look down and read books should be lifting people, although there are not many, but none of them are as lax as you." Lin Huiru is also full of infinite reverie about the capital, which is a place where every inch of land is extravagant, and I remember that what is described in the book is better than that of first-tier cities.
"Study when you should study, rest when you should rest, the lady came to pick me up, how can you waste the lady's heart." Xu Ziqiao spoke sweet words again, leaving Lin Huiru speechless.
Lin Huiru hugged his arms and tilted his head, "Flim tongue." ”
But that's fine, if you are in a tight mood all the time, it may not be beneficial, not to mention that Xu Ziqiao has talent there, and there is no need to push people too hard.
The news of the upcoming test also reached Qi Hehua's ears, and in order to ask for a good omen, Qi Hehua even bought pig brains for Xu Ziqiao to eat. But there is always something missing from the pig brain if it is not spicy, and there is even a fishy smell.
But Lin Huiru stretched out his hand, although the pig brain was delicious, Xu Ziqiao was red by the spicy face.
In desperation, Qi Lotus could only change to cooking a pot of pork rib soup or chicken soup.
Xu Ziqiao was confident, but for a while before falling asleep, he was still reading at night, and Lin Huiru suddenly remembered a sentence.
Ten years of cold windows no one asked, and in one fell swoop became famous all over the world.
Seeing a faint dark green floating under Xu Ziqiao's eyes, Lin Huiru suddenly had a brain move, exchanged some functional drinks and chocolate bars from the space, and then replaced them with dishes.
"It's hard to study, so let's eat less." Lin Huiru handed over the things, and Xu Ziqiao, who had never smelled a smell before, also shifted his attention.
"What is this?" Xu Ziqiao asked.
"Try the refreshing stuff specially prepared for you." Lin Huiru blinked, after all, there are too many disconnections with this era, and this kind of thing can only be used secretly.
Xu Ziqiao took a bite of the chocolate bar, at first affectionate and weird, but after finding that this thing was bitter and sweet, he liked it very much.
"You don't eat?" Xu Ziqiao took a sip of the drink in confusion, and there was a change in his eyebrows.
"It's the same as milk tea, it's tired. Eat quickly, I'm sleepy and go to bed first, and you don't want to sleep too late. Lin Huiru rubbed her eyes, turned around and lay down on the bed.
All kinds of snacks were almost tired of her lodging time, but it was not bad to steal a piece or two.
The township examination is held every three years, and in the second year of the township examination, people are raised to enter Beijing to participate in the examination hosted by the Ministry of Rites.
The probability of choosing one out of ten thousand, the pass rate is really low and terrible, Lin Huiru is very worried, but Xu Ziqiao seems unfazed.
Originally, Li Ji and Xu Ziqiao planned to take an ox cart all the way to the imperial city, but now that Lin Huiru is here, they said goodbye to Qi Lotus and Lin Qing and they got into a comfortable carriage.
Of course, this also caused dissatisfaction among the other students, most of the people in the township were poor, and the day of departure was decided by the gentleman who calculated the slowest speed of the ox cart for the students.
In other words, in fact, there is still a month before the start of the exam.
Lin Huiru hastily calculated, if the road is non-stop, maybe they will only need more than ten days to arrive, and the state of rest for a few days must be much better than others.
Although there is not much space in the carriage, it can still be stuffed with three people and salutes.
Li Ji was born in a poor family, and there were not many opportunities to take the carriage, so he was walking in the suburbs at the moment, so he opened the curtain and looked out curiously.
"Thanks to my sister-in-law, otherwise, if I take an ox cart all the way, I don't know if I can rent a car, not to mention, I'm afraid that my ass will be turned upside down when I get to this point." When Li Ji was in high spirits, he didn't forget to praise Lin Huiru.
"Yes, thanks to my wife. Li Ji, after entering Beijing, you will have to treat you to dinner. Xu Ziqiao also followed suit, but the second half of the sentence choked Li Ji.
Li Ji wiped his face, "Shameless, shameless, Brother Xu, you and your sister-in-law are becoming more and more similar, originally our plan was to save as much as possible, and buy more dry food on the road, but now you look at you, you don't bring a piece of dry food." ”
"The weather is hot, it's easy to break, you are not afraid of mold, you can take it for a month, and if you don't die hard, you will be smoked to death." Xu Ziqiao raised his eyebrows and said.
Lin Huiru's forehead twitched, "What do you mean that he is shameless if he looks like me?"
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I'm praising my sister-in-law, you have a good husband." Li Ji hurriedly waved his hand.
The three of them laughed all the way, and the atmosphere was harmonious, and when they didn't speak, Xu Ziqiao and Li Ji read books and answered each other's questions, and Lin Huiru seemed to be a little idle and yawned beside him.
When passing by the county seat, Jia Fugui's barbecue shop was already open. Jia Fugui stopped them and gave them a handful of barbecue, and also gave Xu Ziqiao a few books and some gifts.
The good name said: "Don't forget him when you are developed."
Lin Huiru was indeed taken care of by Jia Fugui a lot, and she was also helpless when she looked at the more crowded carriage. Fortunately, the coachman couldn't go too far, and the carriage was also bought by Lin Huiru, Xu Ziqiao and Li Ji took turns to catch the car, but it was not so crowded.
After walking for a few days, it was already dark as soon as he entered Li County after leaving Jiangcheng, and this was the first time Lin Huiru had stayed in other provinces.
