The imperial examination is an examination system for selecting officials in ancient China, which has a long history and far-reaching influence. On the day of the exam, candidates arrive at the exam room early, and some will wait anxiously outside the exam room. On the day of the exam, the examination room is a magnificent hall with hundreds of tables and chairs, each of which holds pen, ink, paper, inkstones, and the test papers required for the exam.

Li Yumei said with a smile: "If you don't win, it depends on the examiner who scores the paper, whether you can give the circle red, I said it doesn't count, alas, there is an element of luck in it, forget it, anyway, the paper has been handed in." ”

Seeing this, classmate Ma Xizhen had no choice but to nod and say no more.

After returning to her residence, Li Yumei didn't wait for dinner, she first freshened herself inside and out, relaxed her body, and curled up in the Gongyuan grid for three days in a row, which was really uncomfortable.

By the time he came out exhausted, Xiao Er had already prepared the meal.

After eating biscuits and jerky for a few days, I finally ate a normal meal, and I couldn't help but have a great appetite.

After that, Li Yumei lay on the bed, and it was not likely to fall asleep, and this sleep was a day and a night.

The list will be released three days later.

After Li Yumei woke up, he had nothing to do, so he went to the street with Lin Zexu to relax, he was ready to take a good look at the prosperity of the capital, since he came to the capital, he has never been out of the door, he was closed in the house all day long and studied hard, and now after relaxing, he really wants to come out and see.

The street was very lively, when Li Yumei and Lin Zexu walked for a long time, they found a teahouse to eat tea, and by the way, they filled their bellies.

When they came to the teahouse and sat down, they overheard several people at the next table talking.

Someone said: "Do you know what topics have been lively in Beijing recently?" ”。

One person asked, "What else can there be, the autumn science expedition?" ”。

"Cut, there are autumn festivals every three years, it's not really lively, if you want to talk about lively topics, you have to count the Tianli Sect in Zhili, Henan, have you heard of it? The Yellow River flooded at the end of last month, and it's scary to think about. ”

"Who says it's not, the scholars of the imperial court are corrupt and pervert the law and use their power for personal gain. Alas, the most bitter people are the people who burst the embankment of the Yellow River, and we will wait for the most silver to pay for the grain, and they will not be able to die."

"Shhhh Don't say it, don't say it, stop it, in case someone listens to it, you and I can't eat and walk around, and it's a big crime to talk about the government in vain. ”

The people who threw out the topic before immediately fell silent, and the others also kept silent. The speaker has no intention of making this discussion, but the listener has the intention.

Li Yumei sat on the side, but he listened carefully, and he quietly picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

Li Yumei and Lin Zexu got up at the same time to look outside, only to see the official shouting outside the courtyard: "Wu Tingchen of Yuanhe County, Jiangsu Province will try to win the first class and give the champion and the first." ”

The camera came to Wu Tingchen's side, and when he heard that he would take the exam, his body couldn't help shaking, if it wasn't for the little guy next to him, he was afraid that he would fall. Then there was a dancing ecstasy, almost madness.

Seeing this, the official did not think so, this is not the first time he has encountered such a situation, and even fainted on the spot, Wu Tingchen's performance has been regarded as calm.

The official stepped forward with a smile and congratulated: "Congratulations to Lord Wu, congratulations to Lord Wu!" ”

The little guy next to Wu Tingchen immediately handed over the prepared happy money, and after several officials took it, they left happily.

"I won, I'll win, I'll win, mother, I've been taking the exam for ten years, and I've finally won!" Wu Tingchen shouted three times in a row, and then slapped himself several times, and when he felt pain and confirmed that it was correct, he fainted and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the little girl screamed in fright, and immediately stepped forward to help his master, and shouted: "Master, wake up, don't scare me, grandma is still waiting for you to go back, woo woo!" ”。

This kind of picture and situation is by no means an exception today, every time the official arrives at a household, there is a high probability that you can hear bursts of howling, among which there are those who cry when they fall off the list, and there are also those who cry with joy when they are on the list, anyway, the joy and sorrow are mixed.

After a stick of incense, the official who reported the good news finally came to the door of Li Yumei's residence.

"Good news! Datong Mansion Hunyuan Prefecture Juzi Li Yumei will try to win the second first! ”

"Congratulations Li Gongshi!"

The congratulatory voice of the official errand reverberated back and forth in Li Yumei's ears, he hit, he really hit, and he was also the first in the second grade, this ranking was beyond his expectations, Li Yumei was expected to be around 100, but he didn't expect it to be so high, what an unexpected joy!

Li Yumei on the side was so happy that her teeth were exposed, and she immediately handed over the happy money in her hand, and after the official took the happy money, she left with her hands.

After the official left, Li Yumei no longer restrained, immediately slapped her thigh, and then jumped three feet high, shouting: "The ancestors and ancestors have appeared, the Li family has completely turned over, completely turned over, woo woo!" ”。 After saying that, a huge burly man actually squatted on the ground and whimpered, crying with snot and tears.

It's no wonder that Li Yumei is like this, to say that last year's Li Yumei test in the countryside test was a turnaround, this time the exam will be tested, that is, the second reincarnation, and even the Li family is reborn, this is by no means an exaggeration, but the real situation.

As an aside, in the ancient peasant family, scientific examination was the only way to get out of the bottom of the society, and before the two Song Dynasty, he could also make contributions on the battlefield, so as to win the feudal marquis, and even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, under the extreme heavy literature and light military system, only by reading and testing fame can change fate.

A celebrity once said: Outside the Donghua Gate, the roll call is the husband!

Immediately afterwards, in the courtyard of an examinee who lives next door to Li Yumei, it was also reported: "I actually fell off the list, and I failed my parents' day and night cultivation." As soon as these words came out, the voice was very loud.

After Lin Zexu fell off the list, he thought that his classmates and friends were all named on the gold list, but he was named Sun Shan, so he was very depressed and depressed, so he went to Li Yumei to relax.

When the sun sets, the street finally calms down, and the voice of the official messenger is completely extinguished, which also means that the candidates who did not read their names have lost their last hope.

Li Yumei's mood also calmed down, he studied hard for several years, and finally he would pass the test, so as to complete the road to the imperial examination.

It is said that his father has been in the imperial examination for decades, and in the end, he is not even a child, but now Li Yumei has come to the end of the imperial examination, if the palace examination is successful, he will be in the second rank to a large extent.

"Brother Lin, don't think about it so much. I am lucky to meet you, I invite you to drink, let's not get drunk and have no home" Saying that, Li Yumei grabbed Lin Zexu's shoulders and pulled him to a nearby tavern.

"This, how embarrassed is this to ask Brother Li Yumei to break the bank." Li Yumei pushed it, but her strength was not as strong as Li Yumei, and she was dragged to the tavern by Li Yumei.

The shopkeeper came over and greeted, "How many guest officers are there?" The "two" shopkeeper beckoned the two of them into the store and sat down in the inner position. "Little Er, bring me any good wine and food here, I want to treat my classmates well today." Li Yu Meihao said angrily.

"It's ridiculous, guest officer, it's a must for our braised beef here to be used for wine, whether the guest officer wants to come for two catties, and crispy fried fish, peanuts, and cold dishes are also very good for wine."

"Okay, then give it to me, you all have some good wine here."

As soon as Xiao Er left, Li Yumei took the teapot and prepared to pour tea for Lin Zexu. snatched it and poured him tea, saying, "This makes Brother Li break the bill, and Brother Li wants to entertain him, how embarrassing." ”

"Brother Lin, look at it well, you can do whatever you want with a lot of money, and you don't have to scruples, maybe you can make a difference, it's much better than us."

"Brother Li, you are smiling, how can I compare with you, my name is Luosun Mountain, and I have no money, and I have problems with my livelihood in the future, and Brother Li will try to win the top two in the middle class, and he is witty and intelligent, but he is much better than me."

"Brother Lin, what you said, look at you, you are golden, talented, and good at riding and shooting, how can I compare with you."

That night, Li Yumei was drunk outside, and when she came back, her classmate Ma Xizhen helped him into the house: "Do you want to send a letter to the family first, or wait until the end of the palace test to send it?" ”
