Chapter 226: The Palace Exam
After Li Hua and He Wen went home, they sent the copied list to Li Mingren, and this time Huiyuan was Zhou Hanwen, a native of Lizhou, twenty-eight years old.
Li Mingren had some impression of this person, because the exam happened to be diagonally opposite the examination booth, and out of the examination room, this person walked in front, someone called him, and Li Mingren knew this person's name. It looks like an honest person, but I didn't expect that Taoism and knowledge are so solid.
The second place in the examination will be called Gongshi in the future, and there are forty-six people in Jinzhou City who came to take the exam, not only the ones who were freshly baked last year, but also the people who referred to them in previous years, and some of them have gray hair and come to the exam, just to be able to stand in the first class.
This time, there are quite a lot of people in Jinzhou, and there are 16 people who will take the exam, which looks like a lot, but it is a little unsightly compared with the state city of 20 people who go to the exam and pass 20 people.
Wen Zhiyu, the former dismissal of Jinzhou City, was in front of Li Mingren and entered the top ten. After that, Zheng Yue was also ranked in front of Li Mingren, but Li Mingren had no impression of this Zheng Yue, and the rankings of other lifters in Jinzhou City were behind Li Mingren.
Li Mingren was watching intently, and he listened to the sound of gongs and drums outside, it should be the official messenger who reported the good news. The husband and wife hurriedly went out to greet them, sprinkled happy money, set off firecrackers, and wrapped a big red envelope for the official messenger who reported the good news.
The official who reported the good news weighed the weight in his hand, and the words of congratulations did not stop. The people who watched the excitement also followed suit.
"It's still this street Wang, you see this next door I heard that Huiyuan lives, and the old man inside has passed the exam, and these two households have been hit, do you say it's Wang!" The gossipy ladies are discussing what portals are in this Huaiyuan Street.
Zhao Yunlan listened, but she didn't expect that the noisy students next door actually won it, and one of them was Zhou Hanwen. Next door is Huiyuan, and the good news is reported early, so when the official mission goes, Li Mingren and the others are still blocking the street, so they don't know the situation very well. Thinking about it this way, the rankings of the few people next door should all be in front of Li Mingren.
The family entered, Li Mingren looked at the walled courtyard next door, and was stunned, as the lady said, he was a talented player, and he was still thinking about Zhou Hanwen just now.
It's no wonder that Li Mingren is an otaku, he was cultivated in those days of studying, and if he hadn't accompanied Zhao Yunlan, Li Mingren could have stayed at home every day. So after living for so long, Li Mingren has never met the students next door, so he doesn't know each other in Gongyuan.
"Ye Sheng, prepare a copy of each of these things and send them to the next door!" Zhao Yunlan pointed to the local products at home, soap, building blocks, and some food.
"Yes, ma'am."
Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Mingren and said, "Since we know the situation next door, we should also express it." ”
Li Mingren nodded, indicating that he understood.
After Liu Chengmin's little servant read the news and went back to report it, it didn't take long for Liu Chengmin to come to the door with a gift to congratulate.
"Brother Akihito, congratulations!"
Li Mingren returned the salute.
Zhao Yunlan looked at the gifts, thinking about the gifts she received when she was admitted to the exam, and thought to herself that there were many people this time, and those rich people couldn't give gifts next to each other, right?
I thought so, but I still let He Wen and Li Hua pay attention, seeing that the palace test was going to take place in a few days, Li Mingren couldn't be distracted.
In the evening, Li Mingren left Yoo Seungmin to have a light meal, which was considered a celebration.
Early the next morning, several small people next door sent return gifts, and Zhou Hanwen also sent a post to Li Mingren, inviting him to come to meet friends with poems.
Li Mingren naturally accepted the invitation, and planned to take Liu Chengmin with him, Zhao Yunlan chose a set of cyan robes for Li Mingren, which looked quite vibrant.
After Li Mingren left, Zhao Yunlan nested in the backyard to read, and there were noisy sounds from time to time in the front yard, and Li Hua could sometimes hear his master howling poems, that is, howling. Probably the next door was drinking and getting excited.
Ye Sheng was also sent back to serve the food halfway, and the gift sent yesterday was home-made food, and several candidates liked it very much, and everyone was in the prime of life, and they were all in the prime of life, and they ate it all after a while, so Li Mingren told Ye Sheng to come back and get a little more.
In the evening, Li Mingren came back drunk, smelling the smell of wine all over his body, so he could only stay in the front yard to rest. It's just because Zhao Yunlan doesn't like to smell peculiar smells when she sleeps.
By the time Li Mingren got up, it was already the afternoon of the second day, he touched his head, he was dizzy, Ye Sheng fetched water to wash Li Mingren, and ate a bowl of porridge brought by He Hua to be comfortable.
Zhao Yunlan came over and looked at Li Mingren slumped on the couch, her brows were a little tight, and she reluctantly pressed Li Mingren's head.
"Either you don't go out, or you just go and get drunk. You said you~" Zhao Yunlan didn't blame, but just looked at Li Mingren like this and couldn't help complaining.
Li Mingren took Zhao Yunlan's hand: "Hehe, let the lady worry about it." ”
Zhao Yunlan: "That's it, don't go out these days, you also know that everyone is better than you, so you can study at home obediently." ”
Li Mingren: "Well, did Chengmin send someone to take a look?" ”
Liu Chengmin drank more than Li Mingren last night, maybe he met an excellent person, and he unconsciously became excited, arousing the momentum of that teenager.
Zhao Yunlan: "Well, the third brother went to see it, and said that he was still asleep, nothing happened." In the morning, I sent some food to my neighbor, and asked He Hua to make some braised pork to send. ”
Li Mingren smiled: "The lady has worked hard!" Zhou Huiyuan said that his wife is coming to the capital, and you can walk around when the time comes. ”
Zhao Yunlan: "It's only been a day, so good?" ”
Li Mingren: "Hahaha, this week Huiyuan is very interesting, originally he was going to take the road of a military general, but his family did not agree, so he has been deadlocked, and finally the family relented and agreed to him, but the requirement was to take the test first, but I didn't expect him to be admitted in this exam." ”
Zhao Yunlan: "Then his family?" ”
Li Mingren: "I heard them say that Zhou Huiyuan's grandfather was a Taifu before, and after resigning, he returned to Lizhou with his family. ”
Zhao Yunlan patted Li Mingren on the shoulder, "Work hard!" ”
There are so many rich people in the capital, Li Hua has received a lot of gifts in the past few days, which are given by the descendants of various wealthy families, but he just left the post after giving the gift and left in a hurry.
Zhao Yunlan looked at the table ceremony, sighed helplessly, and instructed He Wen to register and make a book.
Li Mingli sighed with a smile: "Although this gift is good, it can't be converted into silver." ”
Zhao Yunlan: "It's really not good in the capital, I'm afraid that if I meet the family of this gift, but I can transport it to other places to exchange for silver." ”
Li Mingli shook his head: "I'll just say it casually, let's keep such a good thing." ”
Zhao Yunlan smiled and then asked, "Is it that the price of the shop has not been negotiated?" ”
Zhao Yunlan has also been to see the shop, the location is good, the shop as a whole is OK, the backyard is very big, and it is okay to live in this big family.
Li Mingli: "Well, three thousand five hundred taels, I don't dare to think about it." ”
"Every inch of land is valuable, let's talk about it again, if it doesn't work, let's give up." The price that Zhao Yunlan considered was within three thousand taels, but the shop was really suitable, so Zhao Yunlan was willing to let Li Mingli talk about it again.
Before he knew it, he had arrived at the palace test, and Li Mingli was even more excited than Li Mingren.
"Big brother, you're going to the palace!"
"I know, you've said it several times! Don't delay my meal, I'm going to hurry up. ”
Li Mingli nodded like garlic, and he couldn't help but be excited.
Zhao Yunlan said seriously: "I've worked hard for so long, and the last step today is still the same sentence, just don't make mistakes." ”
Li Mingren nodded, and after eating, he got into the carriage and went to the palace.
Zhao Yunlan was busy cleaning up at home, the weather was warm, and some seasonal clothes had to be taken out to wash and dry.
Li Mingli has no sense of excitement since Akihito left, but has been sitting in the front yard thinking about seeing Li Mingren enter the door for the first time.
