Here in the capital, Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren went to Lingshan Temple on the first day of the new year to burn incense and never went out again. Li Mingren was at home to review his homework to prepare for the exam, but Zhao Yunlan was too cold and unwilling to go out. Besides, there are no people to walk around in this capital.

In the first month, more and more students came to the capital one after another, and many students could no longer find a place to live, so they could only live in the Chase Shop of the inn.

The house where Li Mingren lived was also rented to several students, and everyone lived together. When Zhao Yunlan was wandering in the yard, she could often hear the quarrels next door, and the quarrels started with the small houses of each family, and then those young masters joined the battle, in short, they couldn't learn quietly.

Not only quarreled, but sometimes I heard people next door gathering together in the middle of the night to chant poems against each other, which Li Hua heard when he got up at night to patrol the night. There's hardly any time to stop next door.

He Hua and a few people sat in the courtyard choosing vegetables and discussing whether the students next to them could be admitted, Ye Sheng He Wen shook his head, feeling that the next door didn't look like he was here to catch the exam, but like he was looking for fun.

Zhao Yunlan said: "Don't just look at the appearance, some people are geniuses in learning, and they have the most fun watching him play on weekdays, and the results are better than anyone else when it comes to the exam." ”

Haruka nodded noncommittally, anyway, whatever Madame said was right.

Li Mingren studies in the backyard on weekdays, and once he gets serious, he is like he has settled down, and he can't hear the voices of the outside world, so he is not disturbed by these voices, Li Mingren is indeed a hard-working player, and he can successfully pass the exam in the past two years probably because of his accumulation, and Zhao Yunlan and Old Lady Liu are like the keys to open knowledge.

February arrived, the snow was still deep, and on a windy day, the house on Huaiyuan Street welcomed its first guest.

"Madam, a man surnamed Liu wants to see our master." Li Hua came to the backyard to report.

Zhao Yunlan was puzzled: "Surnamed Liu, isn't it a relative of Old Lady Liu in the capital?" Come on in! ”

When she saw the comer, Zhao Yunlan was unfamiliar.

"Hello sister-in-law, in Shimoliu Chengmin, I was Brother Mingren's classmate in Qingshui Town before, and I didn't know if Brother Mingren was available when I came to visit?"

Zhao Yunlan: "Yes, I'll come in a while." You drink tea first. "This Liu Chengmin, Zhao Yunlan has not seen it in Lijia Village, and Li Mingren has not mentioned it.

"Oh, Seungmin, what's wrong with you?" Li Mingren was a little surprised.

Liu Chengmin arched his hand and said: "Brother Mingren, I am uninvited, I hope you will forgive me." I went to quit the house before, and it happened to be Chen Ya, and after chatting back and forth, Chen Ya told me that there was a person from Qingshui Town on Huaiyuan Street, and I asked a little more to know that it was Brother Mingren. ”

Li Mingren: "Thanks to your more questions, we can meet each other." How would you go about quitting the lease? ”

Liu Chengmin: "The rent was also last year's thing, and I am not afraid of Brother Mingren's jokes, I stopped here after I was admitted to Xiucai, and then discussed with my family, plus the recommendation of my husband, I came to study at Songshan Academy in Beijing."

The cost of the capital is huge, and Brother Akihito can now understand it. My family can get it in Qingshui Town, but it's not enough in the capital. So don't you want to quit some of the house and save some money! My house now has two more students living in it, and I think I'll go back to my hometown after another year. ”

Li Mingren sighed, he didn't expect Liu Chengmin to change so much now, and the previous ridiculous times were also thanks to Liu Chengmin's help.

"Have a meal at home tonight, let's have a good chat!" Lee Myung-in stepped forward and patted Yoo Seung-min.

Liu Chengmin waved his hand: "Brother Mingren, I also came to recognize the door today, but I didn't know that my sister-in-law was also there and didn't bring courtesy." I can't compare to you, I don't need to refer to it for the time being, you are different now, and you are about to take the exam, so you can't delay the time in reminiscing. I'm waiting for you to celebrate with you with the title of the gold list. ”

Li Mingren smiled, thinking that this is indeed the truth: "If you don't pay attention to these things, then I won't keep you today, and take me to drink a pot after the exam." ”

"Okay, it's almost over today, I'll go back first. I live in Huaijing Street, in the courtyard next to the well, and I can ask someone to come to me if I have something. ”

Li Mingren: "Wait a minute, your sister-in-law will pack some food for you and go back." ”

Liu Chengmin wanted to say no, so he watched Zhao Yunlan come out with several baskets with two maids behind him.

"Come, Brother Chengmin, you're welcome, this is all done at home, it's not worth it, you take it back and make a tooth sacrifice."

"Thank you, Mrs. Sister-in-law."

Zhao Yunlan smiled politely: "If you can't finish it, I'll let someone send it to the house for you." ”

Liu Chengmin bowed, Li Mingli sent people outside the door and the two said goodbye again, and He Wen took those meals and followed Liu Chengmin to Huaijing Street.

Liu Chengmin didn't speak along the way, probably surprised by Li Mingren's changes, and when he arrived at the place where he lived, He Wen helped send the things in and left in a hurry.

Liu Chengmin looked at the things on the table, smiled and shook his head, 'Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi'.

On this side of Huaiyuan Street, Zhao Yunlan asked about Liu Chengmin's family background, Li Mingren knew what Zhao Yunlan was thinking, so he had to patiently explain that Liu Chengmin and Old Lady Liu had nothing to do with each other.

……

In the next few days, Zhao Yunlan was busy looking for a doctor and giving Li Mingren food to prepare for the exam, and it was the ninth day of the middle school in a blink of an eye. The sky in the capital was still dark, and there was a sound on the street, and the sound of cars and horses was accompanied by the whirring wind.

Today is the first day of the examination, and whether people from all over the world will jump over the dragon gate or continue to study hard will see in the next nine days. Zhao Yunlan sent Li Mingren into the examination room early, but was stuck in the road when she came back. There has been some snow in the past few days, and Zhao Yunlan, who is cold, is reluctant to open the hand stove.

The examination is also held in three sessions, one on three days, and the first one is on the ninth day of the first lunar month. After Li Mingren found his position, he was glad that he was lucky to be assigned a good position, he couldn't smell the smell, and the shed of the number house was also intact.

In fact, this time the examination room was all renovated, and when the prince came to inspect the Tribute Academy, he found that the wood of many sheds had been broken, so he ordered people to renovate it.

Li Mingren sat down and cleaned up the dust briefly, then slowly sat down and lit a small stove. Zhao Yunlan prepared ginger slices for Li Mingren, and told Li Mingren to cook the ginger soup as soon as he arrived at the examination room, of course Li Mingren was obedient.

After waiting for the guy in the stove to burn for a while, Li Mingren felt a little warmth, Li Mingren threw the ginger slices into the small pot without hurry, and then picked up the test paper sent down to check.

After reading the volume, Li Mingren first took a sip of hot ginger soup to warm up his body before starting to write.

When it was time for lunch, Li Mingren took out the smoked duck shreds and threw them into the pot and heated them with the rice.

Zhao Yunlan prepared some shredded smoked duck for Li Mingren this time, He Hua was very fine, one was convenient for inspection when entering the examination room, and the other was that it was inconvenient for Li Mingren to do anything in the examination room, so he didn't worry about getting the exam papers dirty when he ate them all into shredded meat.

Outside the Gongyuan, Zhao Yunlan finally got through the congested street, and the carriage was able to walk continuously, and returned to the house after a while.

As soon as Zhao Yunlan entered the main courtyard, He Hua brought a bowl of hot soup, which was chicken soup that had been boiled all morning. Zhao Yunlan held a small bowl in both hands, her whole body was warm and warm, and she fell asleep after sitting for a while.

"You can eat first in a while, don't call me, let me sleep for a while, it's too early today." Zhao Yunlan commanded.

Haruka should get down, go to the back room to make the bed and retreat.

Zhao Yunlan slept until dinner, thinking that she would not be able to sleep at night. But I didn't expect to fall asleep after a while after dinner.
