The people in the front yard can think whatever they want.

In the front yard, Li Dashan sat in front of the stove, lighting the fire while leaning the oil lamp to read the strategy that his uncle wrote to him.

His uncle and Uncle Zhu are so greasy, he has to work harder, and he will be tired of being crooked with Brother Shallow as soon as possible!

After this rain, the temperature rose a bit. Zhuang Wen went to Fucheng, and Li Qiao continued to study hard.

Now he already knows the importance of the three histories, but he knows that there are too many words, and after a short period of happiness, it is pain.

As the temperature rises, his house is much livelier than before.

After half a year of careful feeding, their chickens and ducks have begun to lay eggs.

Every day, many people come to sell eggs and duck eggs.

This is just the beginning, and more people will come to sell eggs and duck eggs in the future.

Tao Zhu recruited four long-term workers to specialize in pickling eggs and duck eggs.

In addition, it takes a lot of eggs to make dim sum, so at present, Li Qiao's family does not have to worry about more eggs.

In Li Qiao's hard study day by day, in the bustle of the Li family's business day by day, the wheat is ripe.

Li Qiao is about to go through a year.

In order to celebrate, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu deliberately went to the county seat to buy fields.

In the past six months, I relied on vermicelli to earn more money, but later I lost vermicelli and my income declined, but there were nearly 20 taels a day.

Because of the addition of Li Shu Niang, coupled with Wang Xiaomu and Chen Zaoer doing preliminary work, the daily dim sum has increased.

With more snacks, more silver.

With the silver, you can buy land.

Li Qiao's dream is to be a landlord, so that even if he doesn't make dim sum, he can earn money by renting.

This time, he and Tao Zhu bought the best land in Zhujia Village, and bought a total of thirty acres, one acre of land was thirty taels of silver, and this time it cost nine hundred taels.

But looking at the field deed in his hand, the smile on the faces of the husband and wife couldn't stop, with these fields, there is no need to buy food in the future, and they can grow whatever they want.

A few days after buying the land, there was good news:

Zhuang Wen was admitted to Xiucai.

The author has something to say:

Time is whizzing!

Chapter 67 Essay on the Topic of the Faculty Examination A new article on the Holy Side

After the results of the hospital examination are out, they will be sent to each county by the government office, and the county magistrate of each county will be registered.

As for going to the homes of various Xiucai to report the good news, the imperial court has no hard requirements. However, if the officials want to ask for a reward, they can go and report the good news on their own.

The speed of the government service is faster than the speed of Zhuang Wen's ox cart, and before Zhuang Wen returned from Fucheng, Pingcheng already knew about his entrance examination.

And the test results are not bad.

According to Dasheng's regulations, the results of the college examination are divided into three classes except for the first place.

Zhuang Wen ranks first, that is, a proper student, in the future, Zhuang Wen will go to the county to study, and he can get sixty catties of wheat every month.

and four taels of silver a year.

Grain.

廪生 refers to the talent who is provided with meals by the government.

Zhuang Wen can get this status, and in the future, he will be able to save some food and silver for his family when he studies in the county.

Of course, the dealer doesn't care about this bit of food and silver, what the dealer cares about is the identity of Xiucai.

There is a talent in the family, and Zhuang Wen has finally achieved good results after 30 years of hard study, which is a great joy for the Zhuang family.

As the head of the village, Zhuang Fengshou knew both the officials in the yamen, so two officials took the initiative to go to Sanliu Village to report the good news to the Zhuang family.

On the second day after the officials drank wine and took the money back to the county government, Zhuang Wen returned from Fucheng with Zhuang Wu and Zhuang Quan (Zhuang Wen's eldest son).

The Zhuang family and the others stood under the willow tree at the entrance of the village, waiting for them with joy, the stove at home had been fired, and they wanted to catch the wind and wash the dust for the three of them.

But who knew that Zhuang Wen came to the willow tree, and did not return to the banker's house, but drove the ox cart straight to Li Qiao's house.

When he came to Li Qiao's house, Li Qiao was making wheat sickles.

The three acres of high-quality land that Li Qiao's family bought last year were planted with wheat, and now that the wheat in these three acres is ripe, Li Qiao plans to make a few handfuls of wheat sickles.

He now reads every day, and in order to prevent myopia and cervical spine problems, he cannot sit at his desk all day long.

So he decided to cut the wheat himself.

He is not in a hurry, he cuts slowly, and he should be moving his muscles and bones.

He was busy working when a noisy voice came.

Not only did the Zhuang family come, but some villagers who watched the excitement also came.

Zhuang Wen is the first Xiucai in Sanliu Village, and after being admitted to Xiucai, he did not return to the banker's house but came to find Li Qiao, why is this?

Zhuang Wen got down from the ox cart, took a few steps into the courtyard, and saw Li Qiao sitting under the grape trellis, and his eyes immediately turned red: "Brother, benefactor!" You are the great benefactor of my dealer. ”

As he spoke, he walked briskly towards Li Qiao, came to Li Qiao, and made a deep bow towards Li Qiao.

Without waiting for Li Qiao to get up and help him with a smile on his face, he straightened up again, laughed and grabbed Li Qiao's shoulder: "Let's go, go to my house, let's have a drink!" ”

“…… I haven't congratulated Brother Wen yet, first congratulations to Brother Wen for being a talent in the examination, and from now on he will have a meritorious reputation. ”

Li Qiao said with a smile as she followed Zhuang Wen to the door.

"Hey, hey." Zhuang Wen smiled red, and increased the force of his shoulder: "Brother, it's all up to you, we must have a good chat later." ”

"Uh-huh." Li Qiao nodded.

From the moment he learned that Zhuang Wen was a talent in the examination, he became curious.

What is the topic of this year's policy?

Hell again?

So, Li Qiao took Tao Zhu to the dealer's house.

Today is the small banquet of the dealer, and tomorrow the dealer will invite the whole village to celebrate together.

When they arrived at the dealer's house, the meal was not ready, the woman and her husband were busy in the kitchen, and the men sat in the courtyard and talked about the trial and the liveliness of the city.

Soon, the meal was ready, and everyone was seated at the table, and the two large tables were joined together, enough to seat everyone.

It's all my own family, so no one advises me to drink, so I drink as much as I want.

Zhuang Wen doesn't know how to drink, and what he has in front of him is sweet rice wine.

Li Qiao also doesn't like to drink, he feels that the smell on his body is stinky after drinking, and he will go home with Tao Zhu later, so he also has rice wine in front of him.

picked up the wine glass and touched the glass with Zhuang Wenle, Zhuang Wenle couldn't close his mouth, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Li Qiao's head was growing well.

"Brother, you must have a bright future, if I say that you are my brother who is not related by blood in the future, then I will take advantage of you."

"I won't say such things, but this time I can be admitted to Xiucai, it is indeed up to you."

"I used all the soy milk and egg scones you mentioned! So I have to buy this recipe, and I can't let you suffer. ”

"Do you really use it?" Li Qiao was surprised.

"Of course! You're right. After the list was released, the student called me to the school government and asked me to make him five grains of soy milk and egg scones. ”

"You need to use your meat grinder to make five-grain soy milk, and you can't do it on the spot. But I could make egg scones, so I borrowed one from the back kitchen of the school government. ”

After Li Qiao taught him the practice of five-grain soy milk and egg scones, he practiced hard for a long time, so he knew how to make egg scones.

Since he decided to take the path of "being able to solve practical problems", he can't just talk about it, he has to do it.

"After tasting it, Master Xuezheng praised it repeatedly, saying that what I wrote in the article was indeed true."

"You say, should I thank you?"

Zhuang Wen said seriously.

Thank you for that!

“…… In order to taste the egg scones, the academic master actually summoned you personally? ”

Li Qiao was very surprised.

"Yes. It can be seen that my article is wonderful, and it arouses the appetite of the University of Science and Politics just by describing it! However, more importantly, I have solid basic skills, and I am one step ahead of others in the article, so I have the best this time. ”

Zhuang Wen stroked his beard as he said and explained with a smile.

Master Xuezheng had never seen him before, let alone tasted egg scones, but he answered other questions well, and wrote a small business in his strategy essay with ingenuity, and on the whole, he was enough to overpower the other candidates.

When the exams were over, the students summoned him to taste the egg scones and confirmed that they did taste exactly as he had written in his article, and everyone was happy.

"Brother Wen is amazing!" Li Qiao immediately gave a thumbs up.

"It's you who are amazing, or you can guess what the topic of this strategy is." Zhuang Wen said with a smile.

"I'm sure I can't guess, Brother Wen, just say it." Li Qiao also smiled.

"Hey! It's the mudslide that you specifically emphasized to me before. ”

Zhuang Wen couldn't help but raise his hand and pat the table as he spoke, this strategy is wonderful!

Because Sanliu Village is close to the mountains, Li Qiao focused on mudslides when discussing various disasters with him.

Living right down the mountain, the mountain is right on your doorstep, and you have to understand the natural disaster of mudslides.

Who really thought about it, this time the topic of the strategy is that there was a mudslide in the south last year, and the exam question asks the candidates what to do.

When Zhuang Wen saw this topic at that time, he was so excited that he almost couldn't hold the pen, full of ecstasy, and after his mood calmed down a little, he listed all the precautions he had told him about the debris flow and how to rescue the disaster after the debris flow.

Then it is to connect the Four Books and Five Classics, and then stuff the two snacks of five grains soy milk and egg scones into it.
