In fact, it is very simple, Bai Yu said that he was at odds with Bai Jiaoyu, and he was also at odds with Bai Jiaoyu's stephusband, that is, his stepfather.

He is a widow who has returned to his parents' house, and he is not in harmony with the Bai family, and the entire Bai family wants to marry him off.

This time, he didn't want to get married.

Besides, he is a widow, and he can't marry if he wants to. Even if you want to fill the house if you have better conditions than his family, you are looking for a young girl and a little brother who has never been married, where will he be chosen.

In this small flat city, he has too few choices.

In addition, he had suffered a lot of grievances in his deceased husband's family, and he was really afraid of those who only listened to his parents' words and called his husband as a person, so he knew that Li Dazhong could resist his father and mother that day, and he suddenly had a good impression of Li Dazhong.

Later, there were rumors about him and Li Dazhong in the county, and he was angry and angry, but the matter had to be resolved, so he found someone to quietly come to Sanliu Village to find out Li Dazhong's character.

After inquiring, he admired Li Dazhong even more.

So he wanted to really marry Li Dazhong.

"These are all things he said himself, I don't know if it's true or not, but he threatened his life at the time, and I was afraid that he would really blame the Bai family for the accident, so I could only agree."

Li Dazhong sighed.

But I'm also a little embarrassed.

He wasn't boasting, Bai Yu's exact words were like this, Bai Yu did appreciate him......

"That's exactly what happened." Li Qiao was stunned.

If Baiyu's words are true, then he can understand Baiyu's choice.

has tasted the bitterness of Ma Bao Nan, and he will indeed appreciate a man like Li Dazhong.

In this era, it is rare that Li Dazhong can "disregard filial piety" and always resist Li Dao and Zhao Erniu.

"Brother Dazhong, since you have agreed, let's prepare for family affairs."

Li Qiao smiled and said: "This is a great event, if you need me, just ask." ”

"No, no, no, don't bother you, my family has to build a house first, you concentrate on the exam!"

Li Dazhong hurriedly shook his head, and said that he was going to urge Li Qiao and Tao Zhu to go back, because his bad things also made Li Qiao delay his study and run a special trip, he was really embarrassed.

"Since it is Bai Gongzi's request to build a house, then you should communicate with him more to see what kind of pattern and design he likes."

"You can invite him to come to my house to have a look, my house is comfortable."

Li Qiao said.

"This ......" Li Dazhong was a little moved when he heard this, he took other people's money to build a house, and he really had to come according to other people's wishes.

"When you pass the county exam, I will invite him to the village."

"Okay."

Li Qiao smiled and nodded.

At the moment, it is indeed his county test.

Today is the third day of the second lunar month, and there are not a few days before the county exam, and the county exam will be taken for five days in a row, and he and Tao Zhu will definitely live in the county seat at that time.

In order to adapt to the life of the county as soon as possible, and he also wanted to communicate with Zhuang Wen before the exam, so he had to go to the county seat with Tao Zhu in advance.

In this way, I don't have the time or energy to pay attention to the white grapefruit.

After returning to their home, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu began to pack their luggage, and their husband and wife will go to the county seat tomorrow.

During their absence, Li Shu, Li Dashan, and Li Gu all lived in the new house.

Arrange the affairs of the family, and on the morning of the second day, under the eager gaze of everyone, Li Qiao and Taozhu took Huang Youming and drove the ox cart to the county seat.

Huang Youming, as Li Qiao's personal tutor, also has to live in the county seat these days.

When they were settled, it was already dark, and the three of them did not go out again.

The next day, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu first went shopping, and then went to Zhuang Wen's house with Huang Youming and asked Zhuang Wen to explain the confusion in the book to him.

In the next few days, Li Qiao concentrated on reading, and asked Huang Youming and Zhuang Wen if there was anything he didn't understand.

During this period, he and two other scholars who had been with him got together twice, and they were going to enter the examination room together on the day of the exam.

These two scholars, one named Meng Yue, although the name is like a little girl, but he is actually a strong man half a head taller than Li Qiao.

Meng Yue's family background is similar to that of the original body, it is not easy to study, she is very hardworking, and she is the same as his appearance, very bold.

One is named Xu Ying, and unlike Meng Yue, Xu Ying's family is a businessman, but he is already the fourth generation here, so he can take the imperial examination.

Xu Ying's family is wealthy, and he is also a relative of Shen Xuezheng, but he is modest, whether it is facing Meng Yue, who is from a poor family, or Li Qiao, who has just received a holy award, he is polite.

Meng Yue and Xu Ying have good temperaments and are hardworking, and Li Qiao gets along with the two of them quite happily.

Soon it was the twelfth day of February.

The prefectural trial began.

The author has something to say:

In the chapter where Bai Yu first appeared, Li Dazhong and Han Xiaoyan had a conflict, and it was foreshadowed at that time~ But because it is a supporting role, there will not be too many scenes, everyone rest assured!

Chapter 74 The County Exam The entire chapter is an exam

At three o'clock in the morning, Tao Zhu got up from the warm quilt, and he got up to make breakfast.

Because Li Qiao has to stay in the examination room all day, he still has to make Li Qiao's lunch.

He made all the buns with light noodles, noodle soup, egg cakes with green onions, egg cakes with shepherd's cabbage, and steamed buns with radish and pork filling, each with only a little oil.

In addition, there are steamed buns that Li Qiao needs to bring into the examination room.

In order to prevent candidates from bringing cheat sheets, someone will search their bodies before entering the examination room, and even food will be searched, so Tao Zhu only prepared steamed buns for Li Qiao.

In fact, he wanted to prepare scallion pancakes, but Li Qiao said that if the scallion pancakes were cold, hard and dry, they were not as good as steamed buns, so he steamed steamed buns.

At five o'clock, Li Qiao, Tao Zhu, and Huang Youming left home and went to the examination room.

There is a special examination room for the county examination, just behind the county office, is a large courtyard, which is called the examination shed.

The examination shed of Pingcheng was built in the previous dynasty, the county government of Heping City is as dilapidated, sits in the south and faces north, the north gate is the main gate, called "Dragon Gate".

When Li Qiao and the three of them arrived at the examination shed, there were already many people gathered at the entrance of the examination shed.

In addition to the candidates, there are also the candidates' families, the imperial examination is a major event, and many candidates are accompanied by their families, just like Li Qiao and Tao Zhu.

Before dawn, he could only distinguish the people around him by the light of the lantern at the entrance of the examination shed, Li Qiao was about to look for Meng Yue and Xu Ying, when a shout suddenly came from behind him: "Brother Li! ”

Li Qiao looked behind him when he heard the sound, and saw Meng Yue standing more than two meters away from him, waving to him with a mouthful of big white teeth.

Li Qiao also laughed, and pulled Tao Zhu towards Meng Yue.

Meng Yue's village is relatively remote, and he has to walk all day to come to the county seat, Meng Yue doesn't want his family to toss, so now he is the only one, and there is no one else around to accompany him.

As soon as she greeted Meng Yue, Li Qiao saw Xu Ying, and Shen Hua was still standing next to Xu Ying.

The three of them said a few words, and Zhuang Wen also arrived.

Zhuang Wen, as a student, needs to enter the examination room today to guarantee Li Qiao, Meng Yue, and Xu Ying.

A few people gathered around, and they didn't say anything about the side, but just asked each other if they had brought all the pen and ink inkstones, food, etc., and don't be nervous later.

About a quarter of an hour later, several officials came.

The front of the examination booth quickly fell silent.

These officials asked the idlers to stand back, and asked the candidates to line up and prepare to enter the examination booth.

Tao Zhu handed the test basket in his hand to Li Qiao, and then held Li Qiao's other hand: "Don't be nervous, I'll wait for you outside." ”

"Don't be nervous. Also, after I went in, you and Mr. Huang went home, it was too cold outside, and I only came out in the afternoon. ”

Li Qiao held his hand and told him seriously, not wanting him to wait outside.

It's next to the county office, so it's empty, there are no shops or stalls, and if you wait, you have to stand.

There's no need to worry about that.

"Okay, I'll go home when you get in." Tao Zhu nodded.

But he thought about it in his heart, so he didn't go back.

I won't be able to do anything when I go back, so it's better to stay here and wait all the time.

"That's good." Li Qiao said and gently scratched his palm, and said with a smile: "I want to eat boneless pig's trotters, how many are you good at stewing today?" Stew all day, and when I'm done with the exam, I'll be ready to eat. ”

Tao Zhu: "......"

Row horn.

He couldn't do anything about this man: "I'll go buy pig's trotters later." ”

"Brother Zhu is so good~ Li Qiao can't live without Brother Zhu, just like a candidate can't do without an exam basket!" Li Qiao said and shook the test basket he was carrying in his other hand.

Tao Zhu: "......"

This is the entrance to the exam room!

His face was a little hot, but his watery eyes were bent.

It seems that this person is really not nervous, and he can still talk sweetly at this time.

Forget it, he's not nervous anymore.

Anyway, I tried my best, and God will leave the rest.

Later, he will buy more pig's trotters and have a good time tonight!

Thinking like this, he said a few more words to Li Qiao, and then retreated into the distance with Huang Youming.

Li Qiao began to line up.

There are about 100 candidates who took the prefectural exam this year, which is about the same as in previous years.

When it was Li Qiao's turn, there was a little commotion in front, it turned out that some candidates wanted to secretly stuff the silver into the official who searched the body, but the official not only did not collect the money, but also found out the person.
