Xiao Li is a very meaningful title for Li Kui, such as Xiao Li Tanhua, Xiao Li Flying Knife, saying that the flying knife is a hidden weapon, although Li Kui has not learned it, but he also has talent.

I wonder if I want to learn it, anyway, I don't have to press on my body.

But he touched the two iron eggs in his pocket and immediately gave up. How can a flying knife hurt people as refreshing as an iron egg burst?

The main event of the Jiaxu Branch is about to begin, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites are holding back their strength, as if they think that the long breath can spread more farther.

"The first champion of Jiaxu Branch in the first year of Shaosheng, Ma Yu, a student of Jiangning Mansion on Huainan Road."

"Ma Yu is the champion?"

"That's right!" It seems that the person who shouted just now was Yang Weizheng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, the deputy chief examiner of this subject. Fan Chong felt that it didn't matter, it didn't matter to him whether he won the top prize or not. What he needs is not to be noticed, to be an official in peace, and then use his youth as capital to survive the enemies of his family.

Speaking of which, for the family, it is almost impossible for a family enemy to appear.

It's like the Zhang family in Pucheng, Fujian, their family has thirty jinshi, and there are two living champions, one bachelor of Longtu Pavilion and one bachelor of Duanming Palace. Coupled with the unpopular Enyin officials, fifty or sixty family members who are officials in a family, this kind of family lord is not something that any opponent is willing to offend at all.

At most, it is aimed at a certain person, and this family member will soon become the object of the family's abandonment.

Although the Fan family is not as good as the Zhang family in Pucheng, Fujian, since the beginning of Fan Town, the rise of the Fan family is also an unstoppable new force.

Especially after the marriage with the Laiyang Lu family, the paradigm is even more powerful. Also, Su Shi and Paradigm have also married, and there are both the second and third generations.

The officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty is like this, the top families are intertwined, Wenchen and Wenchen are married, military generals and military generals are married, fighting and fighting, they are all relatives. Maybe the fathers are noisy in the court, and they hate to die. But the son and daughter are together, and the cousin and cousin are hot, maybe......

Fan Chong's contempt for Yang Wei stems from Yang Wei's poor foundation. His father was an outcast.

This alone is enough to make Fan Chong not care about Yang Wei, the deputy chief examiner of the Ministry of Rites. Of course, this person still has an identity that is not liked by Fan Chong, this guy is a person who changes the law.

It is said that he was a disciple of Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing, after Wang Anshi's death, Yang Wei and the Wang family were very close, but the relationship with Zhang Dian and others was a little cold. This makes people have to suspect that Yang Wei is likely to be Lu Huiqing's disciple.

Even Li Kui was very curious and muttered, "Is this the deputy chief examiner?" But why did I take the exam twice and I didn't seem to be impressed by him? ”

"That's what's so strange about this person, as if he doesn't exist, but he's everywhere." Fan Chong frowned and muttered to himself.

And on the side of them, the clerk looked at the emperor list from a distance with a demented face, his old eyes were dizzy, and he couldn't see the handwriting on the emperor list at all, but he couldn't stand Yang Wei's shouting just now was very loud, mainly the officials of the Ministry of Rites, more than a dozen of them shouted together, quite a formation, so that Wen Ji vaguely heard that it seemed that the first champion was a scholar named Ma Yu.

But the champion!

Wen Ji couldn't believe that the news he heard was true, and looked around to see that Li Kui was tall and majestic, not like he had bad ears.

Hurriedly grabbed Li Kui's arm, but gave people the appearance of hanging his arms on his head, the old man was nervous as if he was about to make a disease, and asked Li Kui: "Master Li, who was the first champion just now?" ”

"Ma Yu, your master's son-in-law, right?" Of course, Li Kui knew that Ma Yu, the son-in-law of the Wen family, was sitting like this, and it seemed that he was also half a 'matchmaker'. Count yourself as your own person, Li Kui smiled and said: "You old man, what are you doing stupidly, why don't you go back and report the good news to your lord?" ”

"Yes, right, right, right......" Wenji was completely panicked, and he didn't know what to do with it at all, his old lady was powerful, and he was still alive at the age of ninety, and he was unique among the heroes of the Great Song Dynasty. But the Wen family has not yet produced a champion, and such a happy event makes Wen Ji and his old slave overjoyed, worried that he heard it wrong.

Li Kui looked down at the old man's earnest gaze, nodded seriously, and said, "That's right, your master's uncle has won the top prize, congratulations!" ”

"Rejoice, rejoice!

Wenji is humble to Li Kui, that is because Li Kui is the same as his aunt's fellow Jinshi, or Tanhualang, Jinshi and first. This identity is no longer something he can handle as a steward.

Even Li Kui was willing to say a few more words to him, which made the old man grateful.

In the future, when I went out, I had the capital to brag, and I thought that when I was under the emperor's list, the old man Li Kui and the old man stood side by side and talked very happily. As for what to say, Wen Ji will definitely not say it, for fear of being embarrassed.

But Wen Ji was not so polite to the servants of the Wen family, and scolded: "What are you still doing in a daze, scattering money, scattering happy money!" ”

While speaking, even Ruan Xiaoer and Li Yun were stuffed with a silver ingot in their hands, looking at the size, it was estimated that it was ten taels of silver ingots. It is estimated that this money was originally the old man's kidnapping funds, but now it is useless, so he simply gave it to Ruan Xiaoer to make a good fate.

If it weren't for Li Kui's protection, Wen Ji, the old steward, would have been trampled to death on the spot by the surging street idlers. Finally the money was gone, Wen Ji ran down the street like crazy, he didn't even know that he had lost a shoe, and he stumbled and accidentally fell into the mud, but he didn't care at all.

Dancing and shouting: "My aunt is the champion!" ”

"My aunt is the top student!"

……

There are not only scholars in the crowd watching the list, but also idlers, and more housekeepers who are ready to come to the list to catch their sons-in-law. As for the new science and technology scholars who have been caught once after the provincial test list, it doesn't matter, if you have another one, it doesn't matter if you make a marriage contract, your own lord identity will suppress the other party's origins.

These days, like the joys and sorrows of the world, the mansion that celebrated a few days ago, but within a few days, attracted opponents who could not afford to offend at all, and asked the master to contact the marriage contract. If the master does not want to, he makes a feud. The owner swallowed his anger, and the mansion cried.

And the reason for this is the imperial examination.

Li Kui looked at the exaggerated back of Wen Ji, and looked down at Ruan Xiaoer, who was secretly hiding silver on his body, he was also a slave, why was the gap so big?

Look at the people, and then look at the slaves of your own house.

After Ruan Xiaoer looked around left and right consciously, he always felt that his back was cold, and he seemed to be being targeted, and when he looked up, he found that Li Kui was looking at him again.

There was a look in his eyes that he didn't quite like it.

Ruan Xiaoer thought about the crazy appearance of Wen Ji, the steward of the Wen family just now, when he left, and said in his heart: "I can't do it if I kill him!" ”

But he also understands that his young master is a jinshi, and he is the third Tanhualang, and he should show a sense of joy as a small servant.

It's just that Ruan Xiaoer is a boring person, and he doesn't laugh at all on weekdays, and it is very unnatural to laugh.

It's a pity that people are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads? Ruan Xiaoer lowered his eyebrows and asked Li Kui, "Young Master, do you want the little one to go home to report the good news?" ”

Li Kui glanced at Ruan Xiaoer's triangular eyes with disgust, this guy even dared to smile at him. It's not that Li Kui is irritable, but Ruan Xiaoer's smile is really ugly, this product has a pair of triangular eyes that are rare in the world, standing on the street, he is a ruthless character who kills people and sells goods. At this time, the way I laughed, the triangular eyes changed to the four corners, you pretended to be a gourd baby for me?

Li Kui said disdainfully: "Don't laugh, it's ugly!" Your appearance is not festive at all, and I am afraid that you will come home and scare my nephew out. ”

Ruan Xiaoer drooped his head in frustration, and he was hurt by Li Kui's poisonous mouth again. Even if he looks unsatisfactory and has a natural robber face, he can't be blamed! As far as Ruan Xiaoer's face is concerned, if he is a few years older and taller, with his vicious appearance, he will run into pedestrians face to face in the alley, and eight out of ten will have to obediently put on his purse, and he is afraid that Ruan Xiaoer's dissatisfaction will run away, inside and out, he doesn't need to speak.

But after Ruan Xiaoer studied, he also envied the talented and beautiful women. He's also quite a protagonist!

Besides, there is no one at home. Zhang went to Li Quan's house, and Xiao'e was a girl to watch the house. As for whether Xiao'e is afraid, the Li family doesn't seem to be very afraid. Li Kui's family won't talk about it, they are all mountain people, or hunters, and it is common for them to sleep in the deep mountains and old forests.

Although Xiao'e came later, as long as there is something delicious, her heart is bigger than the sky.

Although Zhang's relationship with Fat Chun was tense for a while.

But the fat spring is about to give birth, and the Zhang family is basically staying in Li's family. Two old men, a pregnant woman, especially the old one, stupid and stupid, also suffered from Fat Chun, an inconvenient person.

Zhang's is also a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and he has made trouble and been angry, and it has passed.

As for why Li Kui said that he was unmasked, and it must be his nephew who is still in his mother's womb?

This stems from Fat Chun's request.

is like the old man Wen Yanbo, who was the first to give birth to a son, the second was still a son, and the eighth was ...... Or a son. At this time, the old man was probably looking forward to giving birth to a daughter and having both children.

But if the first child is a daughter, the second is still a daughter...... Even Wen Yanbo, who is decisive in killing, is estimated to be sad and unintentional. Heirs, heirs, if you don't even have an heir, how can you sacrifice your ancestors?

Fat Chun has great expectations for the first child, and her restaurant wish is now about to be shattered, and now Fat Chun wants to say that she will give birth to a jinshi and earn her a life to go home.

It seems that Li Kui's current identity also has to consider the issue of heirs, but he is only seventeen years old and is still a young mother.

In the alley near Baokangmen, Li Kui also met a 'peer', and after the other party saw Fan Chong, his eyes suddenly lit up, but after seeing Li Kui on the side, he trembled suddenly.

These people, I saw them a few days ago, Fan Chong's eyes were sharp, and he recognized at a glance that they were the competitors who caught his son-in-law that day, and they seemed to be chasing Bi Yan and Ma Yu at that time?

and then he and Li Kui cut him off.

After the other party looked at each other for a while, he ran to Li Kui with a shy smile: "Congratulations, Master Li is a high school tanhualang." ”

"Congratulations to Mr. Fan for being fourth in high school."

While talking, he stopped Li Kui and Fan Chong and didn't let them go. They also thought about it, and it seems that they don't have the ability to tie up Li Kui, but they can still do it to ask for money!

After all, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat, and it is a bite to eat.

Ruan Xiaoer glared and said, "I also saw that you wanted to snatch people from my young master, and you came to please money at this time, do you want to be embarrassed?" ”

The boss of the other party hesitated for a while, and said timidly to Li Kui: "Master Li, although we used to be peers, but now it is not what it used to be, you must not be able to make any more moves, it is better to give me and wait for Master Fan on your side, and promise not to treat you badly." ”

"How much do you bid?"

As soon as Li Kui spoke, Fan Chong's face turned green, he didn't expect Li Kui's bottom line to be lower than him when he saw Qian's eyes. At most, he is a scholar in the same department, but he never thought of pit friends?

"Fifty, no, one hundred." The other party gritted his teeth and seemed to have made a high price, but Ruan Xiaoer refused: "I, who are you humiliating, my young master sold two scholars last time, and he took 1,500 yuan from the Wen family, and my young master can't look down on your money." Get lost! ”

Li Kui felt that Ruan Xiaoer was a little different, and it seemed that the temperament of the dog's legs was stronger.

When I returned home, the young shopkeeper of Huitong Money Village came with slaves and cooks and prepared two baskets of happy money, so that the team that reported the good news did not return empty-handed. Otherwise, Li Kui would never have thought of giving Xi money, as for Ruan Xiaoer, as long as the money entered his pocket, no one would want to take it out.

"Shaodong, my father means to take advantage of Shaodong's high school this time to hold a feast and celebrate for three days." Qiu Xuanhuai, the son of Qiu Mingren, the chief treasurer of the capital, accompanied him to carefully advise Li Kui.

He also knew that Li Kui was afraid of trouble and twists and turns.

But Huitong Qianzhuang's business is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more people being spied on, and an idle Taishi Mansion may not be able to suppress his greedy thoughts in the future.

Li Kui didn't refuse this time, but nodded and said, "I can't be at home, I'm afraid of making a fuss, by the way, the cook will leave me a few." ”

"Then charter the East Building and congratulate Shaodong!" Qiu Xuanhuai said happily that before coming, his father had already prepared. Regardless of whether Li Kui agrees or not, he will charter the East Building for three days, and the money has already been given.

Immediately, Li Kui said to Fan Chong and Su: "Yuan Chang, little uncle, tomorrow the East Building will have a banquet, please enjoy the light." ”

For the new science and technology scholars, this day is the most important day of their lives.

Fan Chong had nowhere to go, so he simply stayed at Li Kui's house. He was afraid that when he went back to the rented place, he would be tied up in the middle of the road and cause countless troubles.

Fan Chong, who had just lived a few hard days, faced the empty Li family, and said with a little disgust: "This family is too deserted, and there are not many maids." ”

When he saw Xiao'e's unkind gaze, he decisively changed his words. But there are many feelings in the words about Li Kui's unrefined life.

Su Guo agreed on the side: "The maid, the singer, the dancing girl, the cook, the housekeeper, none of these." The huge house is quite deserted to live in. ”

Li Kui didn't believe it, Fan Chong's father was an unkind old master, and he was okay with this? Q: "Did you have it all before?" ”

Fan Chong said indifferently: "My father is not good at this mouthful." ”

Su Guo said: "My father is good at this, but unfortunately the family was too poor to support it." ”

In their opinion, Li Kui is rich, and now that he has his status, he should enjoy it, otherwise he will feel out of place. Li Kui also thought about it, but the problem was that he was not alone, but felt that a group of women singing and dancing in the back house would make him inexplicably upset.

Say goodbye to Su Guo, the front of Li's house is lively, and the yard is quite clean.

Fan Chong said to Li Kui: "Renjie, will you accompany your brother and uncle to meet the teacher another day?" ”

Li Kui had already seen that these two people had something on their minds. It seems that the top few high school jinshi didn't make them happy. Of course, this definitely has nothing to do with Li Kui. But Li Kui is curious! Fan Chong looked embarrassed, and seemed to be having an awkward relationship with his teacher Huang Tingjian, I don't know why?

Fan Chong said helplessly: "Renjie, housework, troubles." It has something to do with the bachelor, but who can blame him?

It turned out that Huang Tingjian asked Su Shi's granddaughter for his son, and then ...... was ruthlessly rejected by Lao Su. The reason is that the family is not worthy, although he didn't say it, but Su Shi turned around and did a very unpleasant thing. In a blink of an eye, Su Shi married his granddaughter to Fan Chong's cousin, which made Fan Chong have no face to see Huang Tingjian.

"Why do you have to do with me?" When Li Kui heard this kind of thing, his head shook like a rattle, and he couldn't hide, how dare he make peace?

Fan Chong said during the period: "Teacher, he likes you the most." ”

"Ghost letter!" Li Kui's face darkened angrily, and he almost drove Fan Chong away from his home.
