Li Changxi nodded, "I know, but I want to stay in the county seat, the master of the county school here will give lectures to the people of the county school, big brother, can you get me in?" ”

Li Changfu scratched his head, "How do you get in?" ”

Li Changxi raised a finger, "Big brother, you need to collect money, one hundred taels of silver, and surprise before the exam." ”

"Is it reliable?" Li Changfu was skeptical.

Li Changxi's expression was serious, "Big brother, he is the master in the county school, how can he be unreliable?" Zhao Juren personally teaches classes, and anyone who takes his class can be admitted to Xiucai. ”

Seeing that Li Changxi said so firmly, Li Changfu nodded, "That's okay, go home now." Prepare gifts, thank Master Liu, say a word, and then go to the county school to attend classes. ”

Li Changxi nodded, "Thank you, big brother." ”

Although Li Changxi also has money in his hand, it is his hard-earned pocket money.

Reading is a big family's business, and of course the whole family must provide him with education.

Besides, if the family has money, it is not short of this hundred taels of silver.

Li Changfu arranged a thank-you ceremony.

His mother was not at home, so he took his fourth brother to thank Master Liu in person.

For Li Changxi to be admitted to the children's school, Liu Fuzi is still sure, and he can also accept the gift with peace of mind.

A small celebration at home, and the next day, Li Changfu sent Li Changxi to the county school.

Here, there is a master who specializes in teaching children, but he hasn't heard that he has to pay money!

Could it be that Li Changxi is lying?

Li Changfu found Li Changxi and asked, "What do you say is the one hundred taels?" I don't think there's any mention of money here? As long as the basic food and lodging, the total adds up, only five taels of silver. ”

Li Changxi leaned on his eldest brother's ear, "Big brother, this is what a friend I know said, the most powerful Zhao Fuzi in the county school can guide alone." ”

"After all, not all children can afford a hundred taels of silver, so this is private. Big brother, you give me the money, and I'll hand it over when the time comes. ”

Li Changfu was suspicious, but seeing Li Changxi's anxious appearance, he took out a hundred taels of silver and gave him ten taels of silver as pocket money.

"You take it, the money is not enough, you can go to the store and ask your uncle."

Li Changxi took it and smiled, "Thank you, big brother." I know. ”

"Study hard in school and don't get too busy with others. Of course, you can't be bullied. Li Changfu instructed, "However, don't be stupid and fall into someone else's trap." Study honestly for half a month, and strive to be admitted to Xiucai. ”

"When my mother comes back, I know that you are admitted to Xiucai, and my mother will be happy for you. If you fail the test, although your mother will not reprimand you, you only have one chance next year. If you fail the exam, you will have no chance to take the imperial examination at all. ”

Li Changxi thought of his mother, and nodded again and again, "Big brother, I know, I must study hard." ”

After Li Changfu left, Li Changxi did study with peace of mind.

After paying a hundred taels of silver, there was really Zhao Juren's private counseling in the evening.

The food here tastes average, but it can be eaten.

Sun Youcai is also here, and he also has to take the Xiucai test.

He had a holiday with the Li family, and now when he sees Li Changxi, he wants to clean up Li Changxi.

He didn't come forward directly, but bribed others and kept praising Li Changxi.

Especially in class, Zhao Juren praised Li Changxi, and others even touted it, Li Changxi really thought he was very powerful.

Li Changxi began to relax a little.

Zhao Juren had something to do one night and didn't give lessons to a few people.

Wang Dongliang walked up to Li Changxi's side, "Let's go, let's go out for dinner, I'll have a treat." ”

"No, I still have to read." Li Changxi refused, although Zhao Juren was not there, there was still some homework to be done during the day.

"Brother Changxi, your grades are so good, you will definitely be able to pass the exam, what are you afraid of? Wouldn't it be beautiful that our brothers hit it off at first sight, just went out to drink and eat, and chanted poems against each other? ”

Li Changxi wanted to refuse, but was carried out by the others.

They found a restaurant together, drank and ate, carried out drinking orders, and played fists, which was very lively.

Li Changxi was drunk and was helped back to the academy.

Once or twice, Li Changxi gradually liked such an atmosphere.

Li Baqiang is a know-it-all in Lanshan County, and he didn't step forward to stop his cousin from being dragged to drink together.

He came directly to the shop, "Dad, Changxi was dragged out to drink by those children from the county school, do you want to stop it?" ”

When Brother Li heard this, he shook his head, "No! ”

"But if you don't stop it, Changxi won't review well, and you may not be able to get into Xiucai." Although Li Baqiang did not get famous, he also studied books.

In private, I also know Li Changxi's homework, which is not so good.

"You stop it once, you can't stop it every time." Brother Li replied, "Changxi is the same as Changlu, he will not suffer big losses, he will never take a big heel, and he will never accept a lesson." ”

Li Baqiang smiled, "That's what I said, the children of my sister-in-law's family are also Changfu and Chang'an, which is more reliable." ”

"Changxi reads, and his demeanor is actually very similar to Liu Yunde. No wonder my aunt said that Changxi was only allowed to take the test twice. If you can't pass the exam twice, you won't let him waste time. ”

Brother Li smiled, "Yes, after all, Liu Yunde has taken the exam so many times, and your sister-in-law is also worried that Changxi is the same as Liu Yunde, and it has been more than 20 years since the first exam, and everyone has passed the old fritters." ”

"Then I won't talk about it, just wait to see the show." Li Baqiang said with a smile, I want to see what kind of joke this Li Changxi can come up with.

Brother Li thought for a while and told Li Baqiang, "Baqiang, although I didn't let you stop Changxi, you must also pay attention to Changxi's safety." It's okay to be taught a lesson, but you can't worry about your life. ”

Li Baqiang responded, "Got it, uncle." ”

Li Baqiang observed in the dark and made sure that these people did not have the idea of harming Li Changxi's life, purely to prevent Li Changxi from reading and studying.

"Changxi, I heard that there are a few beautiful girls in Baihualou, let's go open our eyes tonight?" Wang Dongliang dragged Li Changxi and was about to go out, "Today is Brother Yang's treat, you don't need to spend money." ”

Of course, Li Changxi knew what Baihualou was, so he hurriedly refused, "Brother Wang, Brother Yang must not." If it's just usual, now you have to prepare for the government exam, and you can't go to the Qinglou. ”

No matter how the two of them pulled, Li Changxi didn't go.

In addition, Li Changxi also felt that he had been going out a lot lately, and he hadn't studied well, as if the knowledge in his mind was unfamiliar.

After all, there are still three days, and if you delay it any longer, if you don't take the exam this year, you will be under great pressure next year.

In addition, this time it cost a hundred taels of silver.

If he hadn't been admitted, he wouldn't have the face to meet his eldest brother.

Seeing that Li Changxi suddenly worked so hard and couldn't shout, Wang Dongliang and Yang Hefan had to give up.

They feel that they usually read a lot, and they will definitely be able to be admitted to Xiucai this time, so they don't cherish the time before the exam.
