Chapter 61: The Middle Lift
It has been some time since Niu Hulu and Wu Gege entered the mansion, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the imperial examination in March.
Li Li's eldest brother Li Zifei is a person this year, and he can take the entrance examination.
Only if you pass the examination, you can go to the palace examination that will be interviewed by the emperor himself.
Li Yan was sitting in the room, and the fourth master came in in a dusty manner.
As soon as Li Yan saw the fourth master coming, he didn't get up, but just said sweetly: "The master is here."
As soon as the fourth master saw Li Yan sitting like this, he immediately felt a little comfortable, sat next to Li Yan, picked up the water cup and took a sip of water.
glanced at the transparent pink box on the table, looked at the silver nude inside, and asked Li Yan with a smile: "Your silver nude will inevitably drop the price here." Wait until you get back and send some pearls and jadeite to put inside. ”
Li Yan laughed in his heart, this thing cost a few cents in the future generations, and now in the eyes of the fourth master, the price of silver naked children has dropped.
Li Yan smiled and said, "If you want some gold jewelry, I'll go back and make a brand new one and release him."
The fourth master listened to Li Yan's words, and felt that Li Yan was short of jewelry. So he said to Li Yan very arrogantly: "That master will send you more jewelry, there have been a lot of things recently, and I don't care about these."
When Li Yan listened, he felt a little sweet in his heart, and naturally he would not refuse these things.
After the fourth master drank tea, he suddenly remembered that he had come to Li Yan.
"Lu, your eldest brother has arrived in the capital and arranged to live in the Zhuangzi under the name of the master. Let's meet after the entrance examination is over in a few days. ”
Li Yan thought about it and agreed, after all, his eldest brother still needs to prepare for the exam well.
After a while, Li Yan suddenly remembered something about the child again.
asked the fourth master: "Master, this child will be born in a few months, how to raise it." Li Yan said that he was a little confused.
The fourth master looked at his little Fujin like this, and only felt funny: "You still have to worry about this child's affairs?" I have already prepared an experienced grandmother. ”
Li Yan looked at the fourth master, still a little uneasy, but he didn't say anything.
The fourth master has to take the exam in the past few days, although it has little to do with the Ministry of Industry, but this matter has something to do with the Ministry of Industry.
Naturally, he was busy, so he only did it here for a while and left.
Li Yan watched the fourth master leave, so he ordered Ah Ling: "Ah Ling, you go to the library and find a few more boxes on the table." Ah Ling answered "yes" and went.
And not long after the fourth master left, Su Peisheng asked the big eunuch under him to go to the library to get a plate of pearls and a plate of smaller jade and white jade or something and send them to Yuhua Pavilion.
Ah Ah Qiao looked at the things sent by the eunuch, and sighed in his heart the foresight of his master.
Isn't this the box that Ah Ling just took out just right to use?
Li Yan put pearls in the newly taken out pink and gold leaf box, and the one that was green at the bottom and transparent blue at the top, similar to the box for the fourth master, contained jade and white jade.
Swinging on the table like this, Li Yan felt that his whole room had become magnificent.
Not to mention how Li Yan is here, Fujin is a little worried.
"Fujin, someone from your house has come." The little eunuch at the bottom came to report the news. Fu Jin frowned: "Let them in!"
As soon as those people came in, they first greeted Fu Jin, and then began to complain about their suffering.
"Fujin, now our Wulanala clan is not as good as before, there is no one in the court who can speak, and none of these children in our family have been promoted this year.
You are now the Four Blessings, but you have to think about the family. ”
Fu Jin listened to what this clan uncle said with a calm face, and this clan uncle didn't understand Fu Jin's eyes, but just said to himself: "Fu Jin, it's not easy for our Wulanala clan to cultivate you, and now you have to make a good future for the family, our Wulanala clan has stood up, and your Fujin waist is also straight."
The more Fu Jin listened, the darker his face became, but it was not good to refuse him directly, just let this clan uncle go back. "You go down first, I have to talk to the fourth master about this."
Waiting for this clan uncle to go out, Fu Jincai said to Mama Yang: "Now that the Wulanala clan is becoming more and more unenlightened, this kind of thing dares to come to me and ask the fourth master for help, once it is found out, what kind of crime is this!"
The more Fu Jin thought about it, the more angry he became, and then slapped it directly on the table. This is just a Belle Fujin, they squeeze themselves like this, if in the future, the fourth master really ascends to the position of that great treasure, I am afraid that these people will have to drag back.
At this time, Fu Jinjin couldn't help but envy the Niu Hulu clan, although they are all one of the eight major surnames of the Manchu people, but this status is indeed very different. Now only his father can barely speak.
It's just that his father is *, and this Niu Hulu clan is a complete fourth master party.
Not to mention the backyard of the fourth master, Li Zifei is here, trying to fight at night.
"Wai Gong asked Yu Youruo and said: 'Hunger in the year, insufficient use, what is it?' If you say, "Thoroughly?" He said, 'Second, I am still insufficient, how thorough is it?' He said: 'The people are sufficient, but who is the king and the insufficient?' The people are insufficient, who is the king?'"
Li Zifei was carrying the text here, and the fourth master came in.
Although Li Zifei also knew that this was his brother-in-law, he naturally would not regard himself as a brother.
"The grass people greet the fourth elder brother." The fourth master stopped Li Zifei, "The family doesn't have to be like this, I don't have to salute when I see me, it doesn't make sense that you, the elder brother, have to salute when you see my brother-in-law." ”
Although the fourth master said so, Li Zifei didn't think it was true, but he just smiled and didn't speak.
The fourth master looked at Li Zifei and was obviously a little uneasy, but his face was indifferent, and he admired it in his heart.
The first to speak: "I won't say anything more to you, just ask if you are sure that you will be admitted to the top three this time?" If you can't this time, it's better to wait until next time, after all, you're still young. ”
Li Zifei listened to what the fourth master said, and he also understood in his heart that the fourth master wanted to make himself famous and have a good future.
It's just that the top three are still sure of themselves.
The fourth master looked at Li Zifei's expression, and naturally understood what he meant, and patted Li Zifei on the shoulder before leaving: "Take the test well." After the exam, I went to the grandfather's house to get together. ”
Li Zifei watched the fourth master leave, and this time he breathed a long sigh of relief, although he didn't have any look on his face, but in the end this is the fourth elder brother, it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous.
Sitting at the window and taking a sip of tea, I thought that if I was raised, I would have to follow the fourth master, and I would have to plan my way in the future. Fortunately, I am young, but I can afford to wait.
This day passed in the gags between Li Lu and the fourth master. In the blink of an eye, it is the day of the entrance examination.
After the exam, the list will not be announced on the same day, and it will take a few days to know. In the past few days when the list was unveiled, the fourth master invited Li Zifei to his house.
Li Yan was sitting in his room fiddling with the things he kept for his son, but Su Peisheng came to invite him to the front yard.
"Ping Fujin, please come over." Li Yan was very curious in his heart, after all, the fourth master would not call himself alone like this if there was anything. Forget it, wait until you get there to know what's going on.
Li Zifei was talking to the fourth master about some academic things, and was discussing it, when he saw Li Yan coming over from a distance.
Now not only Li Zifei has no desire to talk about it, but the fourth master also has no desire to talk about it.
As soon as Li Yan came in and saw his eldest brother, he was immediately overjoyed, and just wanted to say something, he was stopped by Li Zifei, "The fourth master is still there!"
。 As soon as Li Yan heard this, he immediately looked at the fourth master, the fourth master couldn't cry or laugh, this was to go out by himself, and he would go out immediately.
"Su Peisheng, accompany my master to the Ministry of Works."
Li Zifei didn't dare to talk to Li Yan until the fourth master left.
"Why are you so ignorant of the rules, and you don't know how to say hello when you see the fourth master." Although it is a reproach, it also shows a tone of deep concern.
Li Yan pouted: "We are like this on weekdays, and I am still pregnant with a child."
As soon as Li Zifei wanted to say a few words about Li Yan, Li Yan grabbed him: "I haven't seen you for so long, and when I see you, you still murder me." said that he was really wronged.
As soon as Li Zifei saw his sister like this, where did he dare to say this, he just thought that he would work hard to make a name for himself in the future, so that the fourth master would not care about these things.
Li Yan looked at Li Zifei like this, and laughed in his heart, knowing that his two elder brothers ate this set the most.
The two chatted like this, and Li Zifei chatted and talked about the fourth master.
"Lu Li, this April is really erudite, everyone in the world says that the third elder brother is outstanding in learning, and I think these four elder brothers are not far behind."
Li Yan looked at his eldest brother and felt that he still needed to explain some things: "Big brother, it's not that you hide deeply, but that you don't know enough."
Li Zifei looked at Li Lu, who was obviously full of happiness when he mentioned the fourth master, and was a little surprised: "It is said that girls are extroverted, and I think it is not wrong at all to use this on Lu Lu."
Li Yan glared at Li Zifei: "Big brother~"
The two chatted for a while, Li Zifei looked at the sky outside, and planned to go back, and Li Yan remembered to bring some things back to his eldest brother.
"Ah Ling, you go and bring the booklet I put in the box to the uncle."
"Yes, Gege." Ah Ling answered and went.
Li Zifei was originally going to shirk it, but Li Yan had to ask Li Zifei to take it, look at the joke, it was the explanation and translation of those eight-strand texts that he bought on Taobao, and some things written by Kangxi himself, for his eldest brother to see now, isn't it just right!
Li Zifei didn't care too much about the book given by Li Yan, but he just went back and opened it and read it, and then he couldn't help but be hooked.
On this day, Li Yan was fiddling with the flowers on the Zhuo case, and was thinking about whether to buy a succulent one to raise.
Xiao Hezi hurriedly came in to report.
"Master, master, good news, the list has been revealed, and the uncle has been lifted!"
