Because of Sheng Ye's arrival, Tao Zhu delayed some work, so Li Qiao put down his books to help him.

The New Year's festival is different from other festivals, and the New Year's Day is enough to squeeze the imperial examination aside.

Chinese New Year's Eve, sticking Spring Festival and making dumplings.

Li Qiao and Tao Zhu prepared six kinds of fillings, meaning six or six great shun.

Li Xia rolled the skin, Li Qiao, Tao Zhu, and Li Ershan did it.

"I don't know what's going on in Sanliu Village, I miss the atmosphere of last year." Tao Zhu said and sighed softly.

"No folks will send us dumplings this year." Li Qiao also misses Sanliu Village.

Li Ershan is also homesick, and it is the first time he is so far away from home: "I hope that the eldest brother will quickly pass the family letter back." ”

"Don't worry, Sanliu Village is sure that everything is fine now." Lai Xia Road.

When Li Qiao heard this, she immediately smiled: "Yes, everything is fine in Sanliu Village now." ”

This good thing is not easy to come by.

After the New Year, he must continue to work hard.

After the dumplings were wrapped, they sent some to Xu Ying Shen Hua, the Zhuang family, the Meng family, the Han family, and the Xu family, and these families also sent dumplings over, and after dinner, everyone got together to play for a while, and then they dispersed.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu gave Li Ershan Li Xia New Year's money, and then went out shopping.

The most important thing in this shopping is to leave this area in the north of the city and go to other places, Li Qiao has finished shopping in the bookstore in the north of the city, and he wants to go to other bookstores to see.

Han Ning served as a guide for him, and the day passed quickly.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, a not very pleasant thing happened.

Of course, this unpleasantness refers to Xu Ying's house next door, who has good hearing and hears it.

The Xu family wanted to come to him in person this time, and asked him to bring Xu Ying when he visited Lord Zhao, Xu Ying threw out the severance of relations to threaten the Xu family, and the Xu family stopped.

After listening to the farce next door, he couldn't help but sympathize with Xu Ying, and it was sad to meet such a family member.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he and Tao Zhu brought duck snacks and went to Zhao's mansion to meet Lord Zhao.

He had already handed over the post, and Lord Zhao was waiting in the house, and Lord Zhao was as amiable and approachable as when he was in the capital.

Last time, Lord Zhao gave him a science about the situation in the capital.

This time, Mr. Zhao focused on telling him about the seeded players who participated in the test.

The examination is a national examination, and the participants are the whole Dasheng, and the candidates of this session can be described as Wolong and Tibetan Tiger, full of talents, and, because Li Qiao's reputation is too strong, although he has not seen other candidates, other candidates have regarded him as the number one public enemy of this session.

"Your previous road was too smooth, and you came from a small place, and many people want to compete with you." Lord Zhao said, a trace of imperceptible worry welling up on his face.

He was extremely satisfied with Li Qiao, and after the article written by Li Qiao last time was carefully studied by the Ministry of Engineering, they had already sent people to the field for investigation.

If there is no accident, Dasheng will adopt the method proposed by Li Qiao to control the Yellow River.

Such a good seedling, he doesn't want to be broken.

At the end of the previous chapter, I fixed the detail of the well's freezing, because the well rarely freezes in winter...... QAQ

Chapter 104: Li Qiao, who has a poisonous mouth, has a very poisonous mouth

These days, Li Qiao has been immersed in the rented yard and studied hard, and occasionally went straight to the bookstore when he went out, with a clear goal.

He really didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, and only read the books of the sages.

But this is not the case with other people who go to Beijing to take the exam.

Other people who moved into the capital, There are also Li Qiao who study hard behind closed doors, but more of them participate in poetry clubs, literary clubs, etc. while studying.

These moves are likely to be officials in the future, mixing in officialdom, and being a lone wolf is easy to be kicked down, so even if you know that the emperor doesn't like ministers to form gangs and form small groups, but in order to protect their own interests, people will still build relationships and expand their contacts.

After many people came to Shengjing, they actively participated in various gatherings, on the one hand, they really wanted to exchange articles and poems, and if they wrote amazing works, then they would immediately become famous in Shengjing.

Needless to say, the biggest advantage of being famous is that you don't have to take the initiative to join the powerful, as long as you are famous enough, the powerful will take the initiative to woo you.

On the other hand, I really want to make friends.

The probability of writing a stunning work is too small, and it is easier to achieve the purpose of making friends.

In addition, some people who have the means will also visit the door to recognize the teacher.

There are two kinds of teachers, one is the true teacher-student type, and the teacher really wants to preach to the students and solve their doubts.

In this kind of teacher-student relationship, the teacher is generally a contemporary Confucian, famous all over the world, and the students he accepts are few but fine, and all of them are good.

Another kind of teacher-student relationship, the teacher does not really give lectures to the students, the two sides just use each other, the apprentice hands a sum of silver, from now on there is a protective umbrella, the worshipper, both have the silver into the account, their own power has also added new blood, the two sides can be called mutually beneficial.

In short, the recent capital is extremely lively, and the lifters show their talents to pave the way for the future.

For the sake of the future, these people chose different paths, but their curiosity about Li Qiao was the same as never before.

came from a small place, but he had a great reputation, and the saints wrote articles for him, and he also took the small three-yuan reconciliation yuan, which is a popular player in the competition for the champion.

But Li Qiao is a person, except for the calligraphy written correctly, he can't find any merits.

The poems are barely qualified, and the craftsmanship of each article is so full that it is about to overflow the test papers.

As for the article.

Flat one, surprise one, is a bit of ability, but I can't see how much ability there is.

"The four articles you wrote in the children's examination and the township examination have been circulated in the capital, and there are many people who are amazed, but there are also many people who disdain them."

Lord Zhao carefully analyzed the attitude of the people in the capital towards him for Li Qiao.

"The article of your government test is suspected of slapping horses, and the article on how to exterminate the water invaders in the county test is still outstanding in Hexi Mansion, but in the eyes of many people in the capital, it is nothing."

"The lifter in the capital, there are amazing young geniuses, such as Xin Zhi, this is the youngest grandson of Wu'an Hou, studying in Guozijian, only nineteen years old this year, just like you, got the little three yuan and Xie Yuan of last year's Shengjing Township test, and is a popular candidate for the champion."

"In addition to the young geniuses, there are also the pillars of the talent who failed to participate in the examination for various reasons but are old, such as Gu Lianghan, this is the Xie Yuan of the thirty-year township examination in Kai'an. He is the number one candidate for the champion of Kai'an for 31 years, but unfortunately, his parents died one after another, and he himself had a serious illness, so it has been delayed until this year. ”

Kai'an is the era name of the emperor.

"The articles of your county test and government test are nothing in the eyes of the people represented by Xin Zhi and Gu Lianghan, these people's vision, background, and experience are not bad, and you can also enter their eyes with the articles of the hospital test and the township test."

"Originally, there were only a few candidates for the champion, all of them with extraordinary identities, and now you are walking from Pingcheng to Shengjing step by step, as an outsider, many people want to know your real catty."

Li Qiao: "......"

He was silent for a moment, and then laughed: "The students also think that the students can stand in the capital, and luck accounts for eighty percent." ”

"There are so many people waiting to compete with the students, and the students are scared, so they can only do their best."

Since he decided to take the imperial examination, he can't blame others for being hostile to him.

He wants to win the champion, and others want to snatch it, so everyone has their own ability.

"There is luck, but it's more about strength, you have solid basic skills, how can this depend on luck. Although you can relax, fame has the benefit of fame, and countless people are staring at you, which is a kind of protection. ”

"And this is the capital, no one dares to mess around."

"When you go back, you can study in peace and prepare for next month's exam, and don't think about it. If someone sends you a post inviting you to a party, push it if you can. ”

Lord Zhao said again.

Li Qiao came to the capital for a month, but there was no force to win him over, which shows that all parties are waiting and seeing.

Now that the New Year is over, the meeting is getting closer and closer, and there will definitely be people who can't sit still.

He didn't know what the saint's attitude was towards Li Qiao, but the saint gave Li Qiao a royal pen plaque, as long as Li Qiao didn't take the initiative to die, then others wouldn't dare to mess around.

Therefore, as long as Li Qiao is stable and prepares well for the test, no one else can do anything to Li Qiao.

"Students understand and follow the teachings of adults."

Li Qiao said with a grateful face.

Lord Zhao told him this, and he was really grateful in his heart.

Fame is indeed good.

But no one dares to mess around, this is up for debate, Tao Zhugang saved a man in black.

Coming out of Zhao's mansion, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu drove the ox cart back to the rented yard.

Tao Zhu didn't speak just now, but he listened to Lord Zhao's words, so he couldn't hide the worry on his face.

"Li Qiao, our two helpless little buns recklessly rushed to the capital and overpowered the limelight of those proud sons of the sky, will they come to Yin?"

"Don't be afraid, if something happens to me, I'm slapping the saint in the face. The Holy God gave me a royal pen plaque to ensure that I am rich in my life, I am only twenty-two years old, and this life has just begun. ”

Li Qiao smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't think about it, we are not helpless." ”

"Yes." Tao Zhu remembered Jiang Zhixian's refusal to let Li Qiao spend money lest Li Qiao become rich, and the worries in his heart suddenly disappeared.

On the way to the imperial examination, although the saint did not give Li Qiao any preferential treatment, but the vermicelli is popular, and it has only been three years since the saint's small composition was released, and Li Qiao is hot in front of the saint.

If there is something wrong with Li Qiao, it is indeed a slap in the face of the saint.

"Moreover, Lord Zhao said, those people have doubts about my talent, in this case, even if they want to provoke, it will be a fair and bright competition with me, and they will not come to Yin."

Li Qiao said again.

The price of coming to Yin is too great, it is better to compete in the bright light, after all, he is not good at calligraphy and poetry, and it is too easy to step on him.

"What you say makes sense, so let's go buy books, shall we? You read more books, and you are more upright than them. Tao Zhu wanted to go to the bookstore.

"Okay." Li Qiao nodded.

Four books, five classics, three histories and three legends, he memorized them well, and he was not afraid of any ink meaning and scripture titles, and the poetry would not be mentioned for a while, of course, he didn't want to mention it, and the saint did not pay attention to poetry.

Therefore, the most important thing for him to do now is to expand his knowledge as much as possible.

Compared with the township test, the level of the test is higher, and after passing the test, it is a jinshi.

After becoming a jinshi, the imperial court really wants to confer officials, so the strategy questions that will be tested will definitely increase the difficulty.
