Quick Travel: Love will only affect the speed at which I draw my sword

It was the county examination in February. Zhang Luojia said goodbye to Shaw, packed his luggage and took the money to find a farmer in the village, and drove an ox cart to take him to the county seat of Shangyu County to participate in the county examination. When I went out, I met Butcher Zhang who greeted me ardently, "Ashang is a child and doesn't go out much anymore. Where are you going now? Uncle Zhang will give you a ride. Why are you looking for a bullock cart?"

Zhang Luojia looked at Butcher Zhang, who had a rough appearance and a fierce expression. He smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Uncle Zhang. I plan to go to the county. You still have business to run, so I won't bother you." After that, he turned around and got on the bullock cart. Go and see him.

"Why is this boy so good at holding books and bags now, and he is not as friendly as he was when he was a child." Butcher Zhang said to himself. He still likes Pei Shang very much, he is fair and clean, his appearance combines the advantages of Pei Yuan and Shao, and he has a bookish air. It is estimated that this time when Pei Yuan comes back from the exam, the family will be prosperous. By then, the icing on the cake will not be as good as the timely help. But for some reason, he now sends meat and food to Shaw, and Shaw refuses nine times out of ten. If If he forcefully gave it to Shaw Brothers, then Shaw Brothers would definitely give him some money.

At this time, he had not yet dared to think of getting married to Pei Shang.

Zhang Luojia rode a rickety oxcart to the county seat, found a temporary residence and then went to the county government office to sign up, filling in his name, place of origin, age and three-generation resume.

After waiting for a few days, it was time to officially start the exam. The exam was divided into five sessions, including eight-legged essays, poems, classics and rhymes. After the five sessions, even though Zhang Luojia had been practicing the Heart Sutra for a year, Still feeling physically and mentally exhausted, I had to eat, drink, and have sex in a small dormitory of two to three square meters. I walked back to my residence in a hurry, and quietly cultivated and waited for my results to come down.

As expected, she was admitted in the first session. She continued to prepare for the government examination in April non-stop. Qingzhou Prefecture was not far from Shangyu County. This time she rented a horse. With the equestrian skills she learned from Murong Xin, she rushed to the government office and finished her registration. After going through another round of torture in the government office examination, I once again came out on top.

The top leader of Qingzhou Prefecture, Mr. Fu Yin, specially invited her to meet him. He extended an olive branch and gave her a recommendation letter. He also prepared a small and comfortable carriage to take her to the Admiral College to take the college examination. Among the many candidates, she stood out and was selected as the head of the case and was sent to the mansion. Yamen Academy, accept monthly lessons and examinations from Academy instructors.

Zhang Luojia now has the same status as Pei Yuan. The first academician is a scholar. Looking at the entire Qingzhou Prefecture, there is no precedent for a scholar who is only fourteen years old. Even the children of famous families in the capital were very few.

Suddenly, Pei Shang's name spread throughout Qingzhou Prefecture, and he was in the limelight. The governor of Qingzhou Prefecture rushed to the capital to report to the emperor, and a young prodigy with great knowledge came out of Qingzhou Prefecture.

Zhang Luojia politely declined the warm invitations from Mr. Fu Yin and many squires to stay and entertained him with banquets, and said warmly: "My father went to Suzhou to take part in the imperial examination last year, but he has not returned until now. There is no news. I hope Mr. Fu Yin can help make inquiries. There are still some things at home. My mother is waiting for me to go back. It’s been less than half a year since I came out, so it’s time to rush back and bring the good news home to make my mother happy too.”

"Oh? I heard that your father is also a scholar. As expected, the tiger father has no sons and has not returned in a year. I will ask someone to find out and write to you when the time comes." Fu Yin agreed and asked ten A government official came and gave her a tall horse, a big red flower, and dozens of taels of silver, and escorted her all the way back.

Zhang Luojia received countless envious and respectful looks on the road. Everywhere he passed, local bigwigs came forward to build relationships, sending money and gifts. Zhang Luojia didn't ask for any of them, and politely declined them all.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Zhang Luojia also knew that they only saw her as having a promising future and came here to make friends and fawn over her. Was she someone who only cared about the small profits in front of her? She still has a long way to go.

When they arrived at Dashe Village, Li Zheng in the village had received the news early and led people to greet her at the entrance of the village. Shao was arranged on a solid wooden chair. Seeing Zhang Luojia's crowd of people approaching from far away, he stood up and ran to her with tears in his eyes. , hugged him into his arms, "Son, my child, if your father saw that you had such a future, he would be able to rest in peace even in the underground."

Zhang Luojia pretended to be shocked and turned pale, hugging Shao and crying, while they also pretended to pick up their sleeves and wipe their eyes.

"Pei Shang, don't be too sad. You are tired from the journey. Why don't you come and sit at my house? I have prepared food and wine for you and will wait for you when you come back." Li Zheng pulled Shao and Pei Shang away. Shang's current achievements are even better than his father's. If he can pass the imperial examination again, Dashe Village will also be proud of its ancestors.

"Uncle, I won't go now. I will make trouble for you someday. I want to go home with my mother first and comfort her." After Zhang Luojia refused, he bowed and said politely: "During my absence, I also want to thank my uncle. To take care of the family." He came back this time mainly for Zhang Tuhu and his daughter. Now that she has obtained the status of a scholar, her future is unlimited. Zhang Tuhu will definitely not have any thoughts of recruiting him as his wife, and Zhang Cuihua will never dare to do what she did in the plot. He didn't take her seriously.

If they don't have any thoughts, then she will arouse their thoughts. If you don't have opportunities, you have to create them, right?

Zhang Luojia followed the Shao family back home. When they entered the house, Butcher Zhang and his daughter heard the sound of the door opening and hurriedly came forward to congratulate them attentively, "I knew my nephew was a talent. Now I really hit the mark. I Being a neighbor of a scholar is also a honor."

Zhang Cuihua stared at her with burning eyes, her eyes flashing. It looked like regret and disbelief, with a hint of surprise, and he congratulated like Butcher Zhang.

Of course Zhang Luojia noticed it and was a little confused. Zhang Cuihua had always disliked Pei Shang. She thought he always took advantage of her and was thin. When she met Pei Shang, she always ignored him or was cold-hearted. What happened today? ?

"Jiajia, I feel that the aura on Zhang Cuihua's body is a little wrong." Xiaoyu said in the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Huh? I also think her behavior is a bit weird. She used to look down on Pei Shang the most. Why is she so warm today?" Zhang Luojia raised his eyebrows. Who cares, soldiers will stop them and water will cover them. Can she still be afraid of them? ? I never wanted to let them go.

He also greeted Butcher Zhang politely, and then helped Shao through the door.
