There are two college exams in Daqi, and each one takes a whole day.

After entering August, the weather was much cooler than in June and July, but it was still a little hot, and the candidates who took the college examination only wore a single shirt, which was convenient for the person in charge of searching at the door.

Li Qing carried his own examination basket, followed the large army into the examination room, and found his seat and sat down.

The hospital examination began.

Li Qingzhi participated in the county examination before, and the vast majority of candidates were not very old, but the college examination was different.

Among the candidates who took the college exam with him, Li Qingzhi saw a few people with gray hair and wrinkled faces, who were at least in their fifties.

At such an age, you still came to take the test for Xiucai...... Li Qingzhi felt that it didn't make much sense.

In fact, it is not suitable for people who take this path, and it may be better to give up the imperial examination and take another path.

However, some people have money in their families, so it doesn't matter if they take the test, they should come to the provincial capital to play.

Li Qingzhi is still a little thin when he looks at his appearance now, giving people the feeling that he is a weak scholar.

But his body is actually very good.

After the exam one day, some people were depressed, and some people had back pain because they had been sitting for a long time, but Li Qing didn't do anything.

He walked out of the examination room in high spirits, took the food box prepared for him by Jin Xiaoye, and took the zongzi from it to eat.

Glutinous rice is wrapped in pork belly, meat and carbs, which is one of his favorite foods.

Du Yongning took the exam for a day, and when he walked out of the examination room, he was in a daze, nauseous and wanted to vomit.

It's still a little hot, so many people are crowded in an examination room all day, they must go to the thatched house, this one is to go to the thatched house...... Inevitably there is a taste.

Du Yongning's family is very rich, and the toilet in his house is used to pour it once and again, so naturally he can't stand the disgusting smell.

He had been holding back his nausea, but as soon as he got out of the examination room, he saw Li Qing insisting on eating.

Du Yongning covered his chest and retched.

Li Qingzhi: "......"

Du Yongning slowed down before saying, "Brother Li, I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well. "He spits on people, doesn't seem to be good?

"Brother Du, go back and rest." Li Qing insisted.

Seeing that Li Qingzhi didn't blame himself, Du Yongning was a little embarrassed, but he was really anxious to go back and rest...... Du Yongning came up to pick up his sedan chair.

After entering the sedan chair, he took out the sachet and put it under his nose to smell it, and said to his little servant walking next to the sedan chair: "The smell in the examination room is too bad, it smells worse than when I took the government exam before, and there are many flies flying around in it, and I don't know what those flies have bitten......

The more Du Yongning thought about it, the more disgusting he became, and he wanted to vomit again.

But he didn't eat at all at noon and couldn't throw up.

Du Yongning's little servant didn't speak, and Du Yongning said again: "I must take a shower immediately when I go home, and I have to wash it three times!" I feel like my whole body stinks! That Li Qingzhi is really strange, he didn't react at all, and he could still eat......"

Du Yongning's little servant said: "The countryside is all open thatched pits, in summer, the smell is terrible, many people still raise pigs and sheep at home, and the land is fertilized with manure......

This little guy was also born in a peasant family and knows the situation in the countryside.

Just the taste of the examination room, what is it compared to the countryside!

When Du Yongning heard this, he retched again.

After vomiting, his mood suddenly improved.

Li Qingzhi's family background is not good, even if he is admitted to Xiucai, he has to go back to the countryside to smell such a bad smell!

He's different, he's the eldest young master of the Du family!

There is another exam next, and he has to endure it, but when he is admitted to Xiucai, he will be relaxed!

He planned to go to Linhu County to help the people there, and then go home and follow his teacher to study.

The hospital examination is twice every three years because the township examination is once every three years.

In the year when the township examination was held, the hospital examination was generally not held, but next autumn, there will be a township examination.

The township test is much more difficult than the hospital test, and the vast majority of Xiucai can't pass the exam in their lifetime, but Du Yongning has confidence in himself!

He thinks he will be able to be admitted to the Juren next year!

As for this hospital examination...... He may not be as good as Li Qingzhi, but it shouldn't be worse.

A few days ago, he read the article of the Dushan people, and he had some gains, and when he answered the questionnaire before, he wrote some ......

Li Qingzhi successfully completed the first exam and soon started the second one.

The exam takes a whole day, and there is still a smell in the exam room...... He knew that for a young master like Du Yongning, the environment in the examination room was particularly poor and uncomfortable.

But he thinks it's okay.

After all, he had lived through the end times!

This smell is really nothing compared to the stench of corpses in the last days.

And he's been running out of abilities lately...... He adjusted himself so that he could not smell it.

His gold finger is really good to use!

When he went home after the entrance examination, the first thing Li Qing did was actually take a bath.

After washing, he played with Li Damao and Li Ermao.

After the two exams, Li Qingzhi has nothing

What's the matter, just wait for the results of the college exam to come out.

According to past experience, it takes seven or eight days to wait.

Li Qingzhi was playing with Li Damao and Li Ermao, and Jin Xiaoye came out after taking a bath and wiping his hair.

"Ah Qing, you can accompany me to buy a shop tomorrow!" Jin Xiaoye said to Li Qing, "When Ming'er buys the shop, I will go back the day after tomorrow, and I will go with Master Zhu." ”

Zhu Qian accompanied Zhu Xunmiao to participate in the hospital examination, and lived in the provincial capital for more than half a month, and now that Zhu Xunmiao has finished the exam, he is going back.

And Jin Xiaoye planned to go with him.

As for whether Li Qingzhi and Zhu Xunmiao can be admitted to Xiucai......

Jin Xiaoye has confidence in Li Qingzhi, and feels that Li Qingzhi will definitely be able to be admitted to Xiucai, while Zhu Qian feels that Zhu Xunmiao will most likely not be able to pass the exam.

Therefore, none of them are ready to wait for results in the provincial capital.

"Okay." Li Qingzhi agreed.

Early the next morning, Jin Xiaoye got up and dressed up.

Jin Xiaoye didn't put duck egg powder on his face, only put rouge on his lips.

Li Qingzhi felt that this was already okay.

When he shared the bed with Jin Xiaoye, he used his ability to help Jin Xiaoye regulate his body.

Originally, because of the long time in the sun and hard work, Jin Xiaoye's skin was not very good, and his face was a little rough, but because he used his ability, now Jin Xiaoye's face is very smooth, and the pores are almost invisible.

Her only problem now is that her complexion is dark, but Li Qingzhi thinks it's good for her to look healthy like this.

He likes healthy people.

Thinking so, Li Qingzhi combed Jin Xiaoye's beautiful hair, and put the jewelry that Jin Xiaoye brought for her to wear......

The dressed Jin Xiaoye looks particularly beautiful!

Li Qing kissed her and said to her, "Let's go." ”

Li Qingzhi also has two clothes specially made for him by Fang Jinniang.

He doesn't usually wear this dress, but today Jin Xiaoye is dressed up...... Li Qingzhi also wore one.

Even Li Damao and Li Ermao have changed into new clothes.

Li Qingzhi also ordered two sedan chairs and asked them to carry their family of four to buy a shop together.

Finally finished the college exam, Du Yongning had a feeling of coming alive.

He asked a few friends to drink tea in a teahouse, and by the way, he discussed holding a reading club to read "The Anthology of the Collected Works" together.

They sat by the window on the second floor of the teahouse, and in front of them were all kinds of snacks in addition to tea.

Du Yongning put a crystal shrimp dumpling in his mouth with chopsticks, and looked at the scenery outside the window while eating.

He saw two sedan chairs parked in front of the shop opposite, and a person from one of the sedan chairs got down...... It seems to be Li Qingzhi?

He had seen Li Qingzhi a few times before, and Li Qingzhi was not badly dressed at the time, but he was also ordinary.

Can be ...... today At this time, the clothes that Li Qing is wearing are very luxurious at first glance!

Du Yongning was puzzled, when he saw a woman with two children coming out of another sedan chair...... Who is not Li Qingzhi's wife?

Her dress is also completely different from before!

Du Yongning was stunned, and after talking to a few of his friends, he went downstairs.

Isn't Li Qingzhi a poor man? Isn't his wife a village woman? Why are they here in bright clothes?

Du Yongning rushed to the shop opposite, and saw Li Qingzhi holding two children, and Li Qingzhi's wife was talking to a person who looked like a shopkeeper, saying that he wanted to buy the shop.

Buying a shop?

The shops in the provincial capital are not cheap, Li Qing insists on buying a shop?!

Du Yongning looked at Jin Xiaoye in disbelief, and when he saw Jin Xiaoye talking happily, he laughed, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, which was completely different from the girls he saw on weekdays.

"Brother Li, do you want to buy a shop?" Du Yongning asked Li Qingzhi.

Li Qing insisted: "Yes, my wife has taken a fancy to this shop. ”

"You have money?" Du Yongning asked again.

"I don't have any money, but my wife does." Li Qing insisted.

He really didn't have much money, so he gave it all to Jin Xiaoye.

However, he knows where the money is at home, and he can use it whenever he wants.

"Where did your wife get the money?" Du Yongning asked, isn't Li Qingzhi's wife a village woman? Last time, I set up a stall to sell lo-mei!

"Didn't I say that? My wife has opened several shops, some selling lo-mei, some selling embroidery, and the things made by my wife's embroidery workshop are even liked by the mothers in the palace. Du Yongning's careful thoughts, Li Qingzhi saw it clearly, and simply said Jin Xiaoye a little more powerfully.
