The years passed, and two years ago, Yan Fu and Yan Jingwen passed the meeting examination and the palace examination in the last session and entered the court as officials. Yan Fu is the nineteenth on the first list, and now he is engaged in editing in the Hanlin Academy, and he is a seventh-grade editor. Yan Jingwen is the sixth on the first list, and now he is appointed to Jiangzhou West Road as a general judge, and he is also a positive seventh product. This treatment somewhat made Li Hao feel that there were people in the DPRK who were easy to do.

Yan Fu and Yan Jingwen have also been sending letters back to Yangzhou in the past two years, greeting Qin Fuzi and Li Hao. Yan Fu also specifically mentioned the soap business in the letter, saying that he didn't expect the two members to have so much silver, and the parents at home praised themselves for this matter, and classified the members as their own private property after Jinshi and the second.

In the early morning of February of the second year of Zhihe, when the sky was bright, Li Hao's family had already begun to get busy. Because today is the big day for Li Hao to participate in the county examination, a large family gets up early to prepare food and clothes, in order to enter the examination room to search for convenience, it is also necessary to cut all the food into small pieces, Wei's also specially checked whether the clothes brought have a mezzanine, whether there can be written words, it can be said that everything is very detailed.

When everything was ready, he set off to the county test site, and watched the people gather all the way, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea to the door of the county test center. Li Hao said goodbye to his parents and entered with the examination basket. After searching and settling in the designated seat, he waited for the official to hold the exam poster board and show his answers.

Li Hao is no stranger to all these processes, after all, there are too many people around him who have participated in it, and they know the details of their experience. Answer the questions step by step, and you can go home from the examination room on the same day.

The first session of the county examination is the main field, and the admission is very lenient, and those who pass can participate in the prefectural examination, but it is naturally not well ranked.

Li Hao naturally couldn't be so sloppy, so he took five exams all the way. In addition, the county examination has the requirement that those with excellent grades be raised to the hall number, so that Li Hao will take the exam all the way under the nose of the invigilator in the next four games. I think it's like sitting on the edge of the podium in modern class, and I feel very uncomfortable.

Waiting for the county trial list, Li Hao took Fu Deng to see the list, while Wei and Li Jian waited for news at home. Although Li Hao knew that he would definitely be able to enter the government to take the exam, he was still very concerned about the ranking. After all, although he hasn't been in the limelight over the years, the water tune song has spread widely over the years, and if the ranking is low, he won't be able to get over the face.

When the list was posted, I saw that the first one was written with Li Hao's name. When Li Hao saw that he was still happy, he heard Fu Deng call: "Young master, you are the head of the case." "Welcome the eyes of everyone around you.

Li Hao listened, looked around, and said: "The young master has the case, isn't it supposed to be, what is there to be surprised, be calm." ”

Saying that, he pretended to take Fu Deng back to his house with an indifferent face, and when Li Jian and Wei got the exact news, they were also overjoyed.

Later, in order to prepare for the government exam in April, there was no toss. The content of the children's examination is roughly the same, but there is no need to bring anything to the April government exam, as long as you bring the exam voucher to participate, and all other things are prepared by the government office, which makes Li Hao a little unaccustomed. However, the exam was still easy, and after the release of the list, he won the first place in the case.

So the head of the hospital examination, Li Hao is determined to win, after all, the big three yuan is too difficult, and getting a small three yuan first can be regarded as a consolation prize. So for the August college exam, Li Hao started a round of raids to do questions, asked Qin Fuzi to find the questions of the college exam over the years, and carried out crazy tactics in the past four months.

Of course, after such careful preparation, Li Hao got his wish and won the first place in the hospital examination and started the small three-yuan achievement. So far, Li Hao has gloriously become a showman, and he can be regarded as the bottom of the gentry class.

This made Wei very happy, and rewarded the subordinates of the whole house with two months of money. And Li Hao was happy for a short time, so he went to Qin Mansion to discuss with Qin Fuzi about participating in next year's township examination. Because after Yan Jingwen went to Bianjing, Li Hao went back to live in his own house, and Master Qin did not go to the academy again, and later taught Li Hao, all in his own house.

After learning that Li Hao was in the show, Cheng Shi personally brought someone over and sent a bunch of congratulatory gifts, to say that now Cheng Shi is also a big businessman, and he has spread the business through the sale of soap to most of the Song Dynasty, which can be described as a wealthy businessman.

When Li Hao came back, he saw that Cheng Shi had chatted with him for a while, so he went back to the house.

On the side of the township test, Li Hao is actually very sure, not to mention the accumulation of nearly ten years in his previous life, he has been studying hard for six years in this life, and his foundation is very solid, especially the township test pays more attention to the scriptures and the truth, which is his strength. Nowadays, the problem is only the ranking, after all, the imperial examination is a subjective question, and understanding the examiner's preferences has a great impact on the ranking.

The examiner of the township examination was presided over by the Hanlin scholar sent by Bianjing City Middle School, which depended on the experience of Master Qin to choose how to solve the questions for Li Hao. And Master Qin is also very concerned about the only little disciple now. I personally went to Bianjing to help Li Hao inquire about the situation and arrange strategies.

By the time of the township test next year, Li Hao was full of confidence, and he had laid a good physical foundation for this intermittent nine-day struggle on weekdays. On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, the Li family once again dispatched all the staff to send Li Hao to the exam.

This is also the advantage of living in Yangzhou City, the county test, the government test, the hospital test, and the township test are all in the city, unlike other people who have to travel long distances to take the exam.

I arrived at the gate of the Tribute Courtyard again, speaking of which, this is the third time Li Hao has come to the Tribute Academy, but the first two times were to give people away, and this time I came to take the test by myself. Originally, Li Hao was not nervous, but he was still a little nervous when he really stood in this position.

After relieving himself, Li Hao said goodbye to his parents, carried his things over and waited to be searched, and entered the examination room. After Li Hao entered, Li Jian and Wei took people away. This time, Li Hao entered the examination room, found his room and went in, looked around at the area of two square meters, and cheered himself up in his heart. Play normally, this time it is enough to stay for nine days, don't come back to the next time.

After the three consecutive exams were over, Li Hao's tribute courtyard really felt comfortable, and the closed space was too depressing, which made Li Hao feel tired for a while. met with Li Jian and Wei, who came to pick him up, and went home to rest.

In the next few days, waiting for the days of the township trial list, Li Hao was really a little restless. Finally waiting for the day of the list, the whole family rushed to see the list early in the morning. It was too early to arrive, and the list had not yet been posted, but it was already full of people, so Wei had to stand outside the crowd and let Li Hao and Li Jian, father and son, squeeze to the front with a few young people.

When the list was sent, everyone got out of the way and let the officials who posted the list come in, and after the list was posted and the officials left, they rushed up. At this time, Li Hao looked up and saw that the first place on this list was his name. When it was even Yile, and then Li Jian's voice next to him came: "My son has been admitted, and the first place is Xie Yuan." Then laughed out loud. At this time, everyone gathered around to congratulate him.

After Li Hao and Li Jianyi returned the salute one by one, they took their subordinates back to tell Wei the good news. Sure enough, Wei was extremely happy to hear this, and with a wave of his hand, he rewarded each subordinate with half a year's monthly silver. Then I planned to go back to celebrate with wine.

Li Hao left alone first to go to Qin's house to congratulate Master Qin.

Qin Fuzi said: "Participating in the examination, I don't worry about you, in the previous examination, I have never seen the person who solved the yuan and failed the list, as long as you don't make any big mistakes." A jinshi still can't run away. In addition, now that Uncle Yong is working in Bianjing, I will give you a letter of worship later, and you will see him after you go to Bianjing. I think he can give you some advice. ”

Li Hao smiled: "It's still the teacher who loves me the most, did you pay a greeting to the second senior brother when he entered Beijing." ”

Master Qin said with a smile: "You cunning choreographed me. But it's true that you want to say that it hurts you, I have no children under my knees, and you grew up watching me grow up. Today I will tell you about this officialdom, in fact, I am still relieved that your temperament is an official, although you are immature, but you are tactful, not a person who runs rampant with dead reason. So I just want to tell you a few words, as an official in the court, I would rather you be with the light, and don't be the awl that comes out easily. ”

"In that year, many officials were demoted, and I was tired of officialdom before I returned to my hometown. So if you want to talk about expectations, I don't expect you to soar and pay homage to the prime minister, I just want you to live a good life smoothly and peacefully, so everything is not strong. In addition, I also had one or two friends in the DPRK back then, and this time I have already written to Bianjing and told my old friends that they may not be able to help you get promoted, but if something happens, you can always see me protect you in face. Go, I'm here to see what you have to offer. ”

After Li Hao heard this, he knelt down to thank him, and left for a long time.
