They couldn't find the right words to refute what they said for a while.

Could it be that the examples given by Li Qiao are all extremely smart people, and although Li Qiao is ordinary and smart, he is much better than them?

With a wry smile, Meng Yue said: "Anyway, Brother Li, your intelligence and hard work are far superior to me and Brother Xu." ”

"Yes, anyway, whether it's smart or hard-working, Brother Meng and I can't compare to you." Xu Ying nodded.

"Then you work hard, you can't improve your intelligence, but the degree of effort, it's up to you to decide."

"In the imperial examination, many times it is not about being smart, but about hard work."

"Now that you don't take the township exam, you feel that you can't pass, and this kind of thinking is wrong. What if you pass the test? ”

In Li Qiao's view, Dasheng's imperial examination has loopholes to exploit.

He, a modern person who has been reading for three years, can exploit this loophole, and Xu Ying and Meng Yue can also exploit it.

This loophole is the most important policy article for today's saints who want to find practical talents.

If the saint values poetry, then he will be finished.

Although the saint liked calligraphy, he did not include calligraphy in the imperial examination.

The most important essay of the Holy One.

So this hole is too easy to drill.

is like Meng Yue's article this time, when he went to see the Ming Governor's Mansion, the Ming Governor's Mansion talked about Xu Ying and Meng Yue's article.

Meng Yue relied on his true feelings to impress the Ming Zhifu and Xing Xuezheng, even if his articles were not as comprehensive as those of other candidates, but the Ming Zhifu and Xing Xuezheng still listed him as first-class.

As for Xu Ying, Xu Ying's family was in business, and during the chaotic period in the last years of the previous dynasty, when the family was working with officials, it was a lot of silver.

After the establishment of Dasheng, the officials ruled the Qingming Dynasty, but there were also some people who were sophisticated, Li Qiao went to the county government to buy a homestead before giving the county a lot of silver, not to mention the Xu family, a businessman like the Xu family, the Xu family still has to take the silver to dot everywhere when doing business, but the silver is much less than in the previous dynasty.

So Xu Ying also knows a lot of dark sides, and he also incorporates his true feelings when he writes articles.

This time, Xu Ying and Meng Yue not only won the examination, but also ranked first class to become a student, and the two young people overwhelmed the child who had read books for more than ten years and decades, which shows that the two of them succeeded in exploiting the loopholes.

If the hospital test can be successful, why can't the township test?

Thinking like this, Li Qiao stretched out his finger to analyze for the two of them: "Moyi and Tijing rely on basic skills, your basic skills are not bad, and they are no different from other talents." ”

"As for poetry, I can be qualified, what are you two afraid of?"

"The strategy article, this time the strategy article is a bit off the edge, but the two of you answered very well."

"So don't slack off, work hard for another three months like me, maybe you can really pass the township test."

XU Ying; “……”

Meng Yue: "......"

Good guy, after such an analysis by Li Qiao, the terrible obstacle of the township test instantly became a kitten.

They suddenly had the illusion that they could easily step over!

Li Qiao saw that the two of them were stunned, and then said: "If this time is just for fun, just to experience, then in the next three years, are you sure you won't regret it?" ”

Xu Ying: "......"

Meng Yue: "......"

This is a bit heart-wrenching.

Who can guarantee that there will be no regrets?

Meng Yue clenched her fists: "I'll start reciting after lunch!" ”

Xu Ying also gritted her teeth: "I also carry it!" ”

Seeing this, Li Qiao nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, work hard, then at least don't regret it." ”

He has a good impression of Meng Yue and Xu Ying, although they are not close, but they will definitely become close friends.

Of course, Xu Ying remains to be seen.

Although Xu Ying's attitude towards Shen Hua at this time was the same as before, no one can guarantee what will happen after that.

However, he can't sentence Xu Ying in his heart for something that didn't happen, so he now hopes that the two of them will fight hard in case they succeed in exploiting loopholes.

It's just that he can't tell the two of them the unspoken rules mentioned by Xing Xuezheng...... Well, let's take a look, he wants to go to the county with these two to study, and when the time comes, he will have another idea to let the two of them read more extracurricular books.

Soon, the group had lunch and the convoy set off again.

Li Qiao sat in the carriage and continued to read, while Xu Ying and Meng Yue also grabbed the book and began to consolidate their basic skills.

Although the two of them are not as good as Li Qiao's memory, they have studied hard since they were young and worked hard for more than ten years.

Originally, the entire convoy was talking and laughing all the way except for Li Qiaotaozhu's ox cart, but now that the three scholars have begun to read, the convoy has suddenly quieted down.

Bai Yu sat in the carriage and deliberately lowered his voice when talking to Li Dazhong, for fear of disturbing the three scholars.

This trip to Fucheng, Bai Yu experienced unprecedented happiness, he slept until he woke up naturally every day, and if he wanted to go shopping, he would go out shopping slowly.

I don't want to go out, in addition to staying in bed with Li Dazhong to experience the happiness of being a husband, he and Li Dazhong also have a lot to do.

To his surprise, he and Li Dazhong actually had a lot to talk about, even if they didn't talk about crops, he and Li Dazhong had endless things to say.

He was forced by his ex-mother-in-law to practice cooking skills at his deceased husband's house, and Li Dazhong can also cook, and they sometimes cook together.

He bought a lot of clothes, jewelry, rouge and gouache, Li Dazhong patiently watched him dress, his eyes were glued to him like glue, and he gave advice from time to time.

Even, Li Dazhong took the initiative to follow him to read and write.

In fact, Li Dazhong is not very old, only one year older than him, and he is twenty-five years old this year, which is not too late to become literate.

He taught seriously, Li Dazhong studied seriously, although he often taught and taught to bed, but Li Dazhong was willing to read for him, which made him very happy.

But now, I'm about to go back to the village.

The closer he got to Heijo, the less smiles he had on his face.

Alas......

The smile on Shen Hua's face also slowly decreased.

He is seventeen years old this year, and his family wants him to marry Xu Ying.

But if Xu Ying passed the township test this time......

Alas.

Tao Zhu couldn't help Bai Yu's troubles, but it was still possible to solve Shen Hua's troubles, and he pinned his hopes on the township test in August.

The location of the township test is in the capital, and the people who take the test are Xiucai from the entire Yuanhe Province, hoping to find someone better than Xu Ying or similar to Xu Ying by then.

It was noon when Li Qiao and his party arrived in Pingcheng.

Xu Ying Shen painted back to Shen's house.

Meng Yue went home.

Huang Youming's father and son also went home.

Bai Yu and Li Dazhong went directly back to Sanliu Village.

Li Qiao and Tao Zhu went directly to the county government to visit Jiangzhi County.

Jiang Zhixian had already received the news that Li Qiao had been the head of the case, and he encouraged Li Qiao, hoping that Li Qiao would go to the county to report as soon as possible.

The township test in August is the highlight, and now we must seize all the time.

Li Qiao also has this intention.

He and Tao Zhu came out of the county government and saw Zhuang Fengshou within a few steps.

The officials of the county government went to Sanliu Village to report the good news, and Zhuang Fengshou simply lived in the county seat, wanting to see Li Qiao and Tao Zhu for the first time.

"Let's go, go back to the village and go back to the village, the stove is up, and the big fat pig is ready, just wait for you to go back to the village."

Zhuang Fengshou smiled from ear to ear.

After being away from home for more than a month, seeing Zhuang Fengfeng at this time, Li Qiao also felt cordial: "Okay, this time I must celebrate well." ”

The first two times he took the case, because he was not a showman, he just cooked a big pot of dishes.

At the moment, he is not only a showman, but also won the little three yuan, and he must be celebrated.

"That's what the big guy thinks, let's celebrate for two days, the first day is only people from our village, and the second day is to invite people from other villages, let's set up a water feast. What do you and Brother Zhu think? ”

Zhuang Fengshou asked with a smile.

"Huh? Are you still separated? Li Qiao was a little surprised: "Brother Zhu and I want to set up a one-day flowing water banquet, whether it is from our village or from another village, we can go and eat." ”

"How's that going to work? We are us, and those from other villages belong to other villages, and we have to separate. ”

Zhuang Fengshou immediately shook his head: "The villagers have already scraped together silver, three taels of silver per family, and my family has a little more, enough for seven hundred taels, enough for a day's flowing water banquet." ”

“…… And scraped together the money? Li Qiao was surprised.

Tao Zhu's eyes also widened, and the villagers also deliberately scraped together money?

"Of course, you won the show this time, or Xiao Sanyuan, and the villagers are happy for you. So I wanted to have a flowing water banquet together, so that people from other villages could have fun. ”

Zhuang Fengshou said with a smile.

The people of Sanliu Village also want to do something for Li Qiao too much, they think too much, Li Qiao is a talent this time, and he will soon go to the county to study.

If you want to study in the county, you have to live in the county seat.

He couldn't stay in the county seat for too long, and Li Qiao was going to leave for the capital to take the township test in July.

After the township test, it was already September, because the capital was far away, so Li Qiao had to leave for the capital after coming back for a few days.

Will Li Qiao come back?

Therefore, at present, this flowing water banquet is the last big thing that the villagers can do for him. Therefore, when the official went to the village to report the good news, many people immediately found Zhuang Fengshou and said that they wanted to raise money to celebrate Li Qiao.

Zhuang Fengshou also had this intention, he convened a meeting of the villagers, and finally decided to give three taels of silver to each family.

Li Qiao is a celebrity, and every day there are people from other villages who come to see his family's royal pen plaque.

The seven hundred taels of silver collected by the villagers must be able to afford a flowing water feast, and they can make the people from other villages eat a good meal.

We must let all the people in the other villages know that Li Qiao belongs to their Sanliu Village, and what can they do for Li Qiao!
