On this day, Bai Yu brought Li Dazhong to play, Bai Yu had already bought a small yard, but it was not near the examination shed.

The housing prices around the examination shed are too high, and he doesn't have to buy the houses around it.

When he came to Fucheng, there was no Li Dazhong's two babies tossing him, there were more smiles on his face than before, and the whole person was full of freshness after being moisturized.

"Yesterday, Dazhong saw Zhou Mingsheng."

Bai Yu, Tao Zhu, Li Ershan, and Li Xia sat by the well in the front yard, helping Tao Zhu and them peel peanuts, and he talked about what he saw yesterday while peeling.

Li Dazhong also sat on the side peeling peanuts, nodded when he heard the words: "Yesterday, Brother Yuzu and I went to the ceramic shop to buy dishes, and saw Zhou Mingsheng, his daughter-in-law, and his father-in-law, they went to that shop to buy goods. ”

Zhou Mingsheng married the daughter of the shopkeeper of the ceramic shop, and now Zhou Mingsheng came to Fucheng for the exam, and his daughter-in-law and father-in-law came to buy the goods.

"When I saw him, I deliberately leaned in front of him, and waved my fist at him, and his little white face immediately turned black into charcoal."

When Li Gu took the men of the Li family to Zhou's house to ask for an explanation, Li Dazhong also went, but Zhou Mingsheng was not at home at that time.

Zhou Mingsheng was not at home twice, so Li Dazhong only beat Zhou Mingsheng's father and mother, not Zhou Mingsheng.

Later, Li Gu wanted to go to the county seat to find Zhou Mingsheng, but Li Chuntao refused, on the one hand, he felt ashamed, and on the other hand, he didn't want to offend the shopkeeper of the ceramic shop.

So Zhou Mingsheng was not beaten.

But Li Dazhong definitely couldn't swallow this breath, and this time he happened to meet Zhou Mingsheng, and he couldn't help but wave his fist to intimidate.

"He's going to take the college exam this time?" Tao Zhu frowned.

"I definitely want to participate, he is dedicated to being a showman." Bai Yu sneered.

After he and Li Dazhong got married, he also regarded Li Chuntao as his cousin, and after introducing Zhang Tiansheng to Li Chuntao, he inquired about Zhou Mingsheng's situation in the county by the way.

"You don't know, now his daughter-in-law is staring at him very closely, and she is very afraid that he will go to find Chun Tao. I heard from the neighbors on either side of him that their family had a big quarrel every few days, and his daughter-in-law said that he regretted having two hearts, and he would not admit it. ”

Tao Zhu: "......"

It's disgusting, I even want to go to find Chun Tao, shameless!

He sighed: "The current spring peach, he can't climb high." ”

"Not really." Bai Yu smiled and nodded: "In his family's situation, he must have no intention of studying, and he will definitely not be able to pass the college exam this time." ”

"But Chun Tao is about to become a talented lady."

Li Chuntao and Zhang Tiansheng have developed very smoothly, Zhang Tiansheng is good, very sincere, and the Zhang family is also very good, Li Chuntao has changed from not hating him at the beginning to a little bit of excitement recently.

If there is no accident, the two will be married in the summer.

Tao Zhu thought of this, and also laughed: "When Chun Tao gets married, let's handle it well, and I'll be angry with him." ”

"It's nature." Shirakuzu smiled and nodded.

Bai Yu and Li Dazhong had lunch before leaving, before leaving, Bai Yu told Tao Zhu and asked him to remind Li Qiao to pay more attention to young talents, although most of the scholars are unreliable, but who makes Shen Hua like scholars, he can only ask Li Qiao.

Tao Zhu has always remembered this, he has already reminded Li Qiao, and when others come to visit Li Qiao, he will take a look.

He also wanted Shen Hua to have one more choice.

Now that Xu Ying has not been admitted to Xiucai, the Xu family already looks down on Shen Hua, even if Xu Ying does not abandon Shen Hua, then Shen Hua will suffer from the cold face of the Xu family after marriage.

Tao Zhu himself does not have an evil mother-in-law, but he knows how terrible Bai Yu's ex-mother-in-law is, and he has also seen a lot of evil mothers-in-law in the countryside who are trying to tribulate their daughters-in-law/husbands, regardless of whether they are girls or little brothers, as long as they are not accepted by their husbands, it will be really difficult to live after marriage.

Before going to bed at night, Tao Zhu told Li Qiao that Zhou Mingsheng also participated in the hospital examination.

Li Qiao listened, and his attitude was similar to Tao Zhu's, but he was still worried about Gao Zhiyuan: "Didn't Gao Zhiyuan come?" The college examination is twice every three years. ”

“…… If you don't come, what do you care about us? Tao Zhu was originally lying on his stomach, his face was buried in his neck socket, and he couldn't help but raise his head to look at him when he heard the words: "Just a person like him, it's not worth your eyes." ”

Li Qiao raised her eyebrows when she heard this, raised her hand and patted him lightly on the buttocks: "His purpose is not pure for you, of course I have to guard against him." ”

"He just wants me to make him a cow and a horse, what other purpose can he have?"

Tao Zhu also pondered about this.

He didn't think that Gao Zhiyuan also thought he was good-looking, Gao Zhiyuan went to his house to propose marriage, with only one purpose:

Find a servant for the Gao family.

This bit of malice is no longer a concern for him today.

"You're right, his mentality must have collapsed, and even if he comes, he won't be able to pass the test." Li Qiao nodded.

His Brother Zhu is relatively simple, so let's follow Brother Zhu'er's words now.

As for Gao Zhiyuan himself, this person's purpose for Tao Zhu is more than that.

It's a pity that he can't meet Gao Zhiyuan on weekdays, otherwise, he will definitely have to interrogate.

Li Qiao put Gao Zhiyuan behind for the time being, and put all his mind on reading.

Soon it was exam day.

This is the third time Li Qiao has taken the exam, and Tao Zhu has long been familiar with all the processes, Tao Zhu got up in the middle of the night to make breakfast, and steamed steamed buns for Li Qiao by the way.

When they went to the examination shed before breakfast, it was not yet dawn, and there were already many people gathered in front of the examination booth when they arrived, in addition to the candidates themselves, there were also Tao Zhu to accompany the exam.

Li Qiao glanced at it a few times, and estimated in his heart that there would be thousands of people participating in the hospital examination this time.

Verify your identity later, how much time will it waste.

Sigh.

As a celebrity, Li Qiao is the focus of everyone, he didn't socialize before, but now everyone finally saw him and came over to greet him.

Li Qiao didn't want to have a reputation as someone who didn't even take off, so whenever other people greeted him, he responded with a smile.

When the officials came to maintain order, his face was almost stiff with laughter.

The officials asked the candidates to line up to enter the examination booth.

The inspection process is the same as before, not only the steamed bun is broken into several petals, but the hair also has to be spread out for the official to check, so as not to carry a cheat sheet.

Li Qiao and Meng Yue and Xu Ying lined up in the middle of the team, and the three of them entered the examination booth and waited for half an hour before the inspection process outside ended.

Soon, the examiner came.

In addition to the prefect, the chief examiner of the college examination is also the academic administration.

Many candidates first saluted the two adults, and then checked their identities.

The identity verification was carried out by the prefect and the student at the same time, but because there were too many candidates, more than an hour had passed by the end of this process.

Li Qiao sat in his seat and saw the official coming over with the exam questions, he breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to pick up the brush on the table.

He and Tao Zhu came to the examination shed before five o'clock, and it was estimated that it was ten o'clock at this time, and they waited for more than five hours in a row.

The imperial examination is really not easy.

Today is the main exam, and as always, the exam is more comprehensive.

Moyi, the scriptures, poems, and theories are all tested.

Moyi and Tijing are both basic skills, but compared with the county and government exams, the content involved in the hospital exam is obviously more.

The three histories and three biographies are all involved, and some of the small topics are relatively remote.

But this is not difficult for Li Qiao, if he fights for basic skills, he will not be afraid of any exams.

He lifted his pen and wrote as fast as he could.

Soon it was the turn of poetry, and he began to live rather than die again.

This time, Li Qiao's exam number is 500, which is located in the middle, but it is more coincidental that his seat this time is not close to the door of the hall, but close to the inside of the hall.

And the hall where he is is happens to be the one where the Ming Zhifu is seated.

Yes, although the governor sat on the top and couldn't see what was written on his scroll, he could see his expression.

Before Moyi and the scriptures, he wrote like flying, confident, and he was very satisfied with the Ming Zhifu.

But now the poem, Ming Zhifu looked at his expression and was shocked.

Ming Zhifu was really surprised at this time, as far as Li Qiao's poem was written, he still had to frown, bitter and hateful, gritted his teeth, and looked like he had exhausted all his strength......

He knew that Li Qiao's poetry was not good, but he didn't expect that this level of barely passing, Li Qiao, had been holding back for a long time.

This......

The prefect is extremely happy, but fortunately, the saint does not pay attention to poetry!

Poetry is followed by strategy.

The strategy of this session is the same as the county examination, and the questions are drawn from the four books and five classics, and do not involve the small compositions of the saints.

Therefore, not only Li Qiao, but other candidates also answered quickly.

However, because the exam started too late, after Li Qiao finished writing, it was already dark, and he hurriedly handed in the paper.

The results of this main examination were posted three days later, and the number of admitted students was in the top 100.

There are thousands of candidates who participated in the college examination this time, but ninety percent of them were brushed down in one main exam, which is really cruel.

Li Qiao was still the first to hand in the papers this time, and after leaving the examination room, Tao Zhu, Li Ershan, Li Xia, and Huang Youming's father and son were all waiting.

Li Qiao didn't go home directly, he waited for Meng Yue and Xu Ying to leave the examination room, and then went back to the small courtyard where he was temporarily staying with the two of them.

He wanted to answer with Meng Yue and Xu Ying.

Meng Yue and Xu Ying are also hardworking people, today's exam can't help the two of them, and after the right answer, they are all happy.

For the next three days, Li Qiao still didn't socialize and didn't go out.

He will definitely be able to enter the retest, and he can't slack off at this juncture.

Three days later, the results of the main exam were posted, and the names of Li Qiao, Meng Yue, and Xu Ying all appeared on this list.

Li Qiao carefully read this list of 100 people, and then left with a satisfied face, very good, there is neither Zhou Mingsheng nor Gao Zhiyuan on it.

The retest was tomorrow, so Li Qiao, Meng Yue, and Xu Ying didn't stay long, and the three of them went back to their respective homes and continued to study hard.

The re-examination will take two days, and the first day will test Moyi, Tijing, and poetry.

The next day, I took a cue on the subject.

More than 900 people are trying to brush down at once, so the speed of this body search and identity verification is very fast.

However, because it is a retest, the questions are more difficult than the previous main test.
