There is a little husband in the home of crossing

The carriage staggered all the way, and on the third day of September, the two finally arrived at Jinling City.

The sky was hazy and light rain was falling, and the weather suddenly turned cold, Li Yaonan couldn't help but feel lucky that they left early, otherwise it would be really hard for people to travel in this weather.

It was Enke time of the year again, and Jinling City was very lively, with teahouses, restaurants, restaurants, and literati talking loudly everywhere.The pattering drizzle not only did not disturb their interest, but added a bit of poetic charm.

Candidates gathered from all directions, Jinling City was almost overcrowded, almost all the inns were full of guests.

The two searched for several places, and finally found a relatively remote inn to settle down. After tidying up, they prepared for the exam with peace of mind.

Perhaps it was motivated by the hard work of the third cousin, or maybe it was because of the rain outside, Li Yaonan didn't go out for three consecutive days, until the seventh day of September, he took his cousin for a walk outside to get some fresh air and relax. , so as not to be under too much pressure, and the impromptu performance will be out of standard.

On the morning of the eighth day of September, the two packed up their things and headed to the examination room.

The rain is falling, the weather seems to be particularly bad this year, the summer is too hot, and the autumn rains too much, but even so, it still can't stop the pace of the students from all walks of life.

The process of entering the examination room of the rural examination is no different from that of the children's examination. It is still the official roll call, check the package, and then release it after passing.

Zhang Qixian went in one step ahead of him. Before leaving, the two exchanged a look, sparking a spark that only they could understand. Zhang Qixian swaggered forward, determined in his heart to put his little cousin down this time. Take my little cousin to teach him a lesson.

Li Yaonan is naturally not to be outdone, his poetry may not be as good as his third cousin, but in terms of strategy and theory, he thinks he is no worse than others.

Not long after, it was Li Yaonan's name.

After entering the examination room smoothly, Li Yaonan was still unaccustomed to seeing the small numbered room again. He thought the environment in the Gongyuan would be better, but he didn't expect that there were also two wooden boards, and things creaked when placed on them.

Wooden boards should be wooden boards, Li Yaonan sighed, and began to pack up his belongings. Even if it is only a few days, he likes the place where he lives to be clean and fresh, which helps his brain to think.

When he finished sorting it out, all the candidates had arrived.

Next, the invigilator issued the test questions. This time the test was "The Analects of Confucius", "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "University".

Li Yaonan was not surprised by this, as he had heard from his uncle a long time ago that in the first round of the township examination, the four books and five classics are usually tested, and the last two rounds are for policy theory.

Grinding, meditating, listening to the sound of the rain outside, Li Yaonan's heart seemed to calm down.

The first question, he planned to do the Analects of Confucius. After a lot of research and hard thinking, Li Yaonan quickly finished the manuscript, slowly got up and sat at the table, picked up the pen and ink, and wrote a large article in one go. He forgot the time and the place, until it was dark, he was hungry, and he finished writing the last stroke. At this time, he realized that it was already night, and he obviously didn't remember it for a long time.

After eating something casually and washing up briefly, Li Yaonan fell asleep.

On the second day, he started to write about the mean, and then came to university. He also mainly slept at night. He didn't like to read at night, which was not only inefficient, but also confused his thinking, and his grades would be discounted.

On the third day, Li Yaonan carefully checked the written test paper, and after confirming that it was correct, he copied it again, feeling completely at ease.

Soon, the bell of the Gongyuan rang, and the examiners collected the test questions one by one.

That night, all the students rested for the night, and the next morning, the examiner issued new test questions.

Li Yaonan finally realized how difficult the imperial examinations were in ancient times, and hard-working people couldn't bear it if it went on like this. No wonder I heard that many people fainted in the examination room every year during the imperial examinations.

Sure enough, on the fifth day, one of the candidates on the west side couldn't stand it anymore, and the hearts of all the students also became tense.

As time passed, another person was carried out.

On the ninth day, there were countless candidates who were carried out.

Li Yaonan couldn't bear it anymore, his neat hair became messy, his clothes became wrinkled, his face was deeply tired, he just wished he could find a place to sleep hard for three days and three nights.

After leaving the examination room, there was still continuous drizzle outside, and there was a lot of crying at the gate of the Gongyuan. Still tears.

Li Yaonan didn't have that kind of emotion, he was so tired right now that he didn't feel the rain on his body.

"Master, here." The servant held an umbrella, saw him at a glance, and called out from a long distance, Zhang Qixian's servant was standing beside him, and there was a row of carriages parked not far away, Li Yaonan recognized one of them It belongs to his family.

Li Yaonan quickened his pace, and when he saw the carriage, he seemed to have gained some strength, Shi Shu hurried forward to support him, Zhang Qixian followed closely behind, his legs were trembling when he walked, his beard took up half of his face, and his eyes were deep-set The ground is sunken, and the appearance is even worse than him.

Li Yaonan fell on the carriage and fell into a dark sleep. He couldn't wake up when he arrived at the inn, but the waiter asked someone to help carry him up. The inn's clerk was used to this kind of situation and didn't feel surprised. He got two rewards, and the other one belonged to Zhang Qixian.

Li Yaonan slept very deeply this time, even when he was in Tongjian, he was never so tired. The foundation of this body is still not good, even after a year of recuperation, it is still not good enough.

It wasn't until the next afternoon that Li Yaonan got up from the bed. He was awakened by a feeling of hunger. The waiter had been waiting by the side, and he hurriedly ordered someone to serve meals, which were all warming things.

Li Yaonan was satisfied in his heart, finally understood why Lin Yixuan gave him this person, he was really smart and could look at him, if it was Wang Xiaohu, he could direct him to do anything, but it would be impossible to serve him so attentively .

After eating and drinking enough, Li Yaonan recovered a little bit, and opened the next room to see that the third cousin was still sleeping.

Li Yaonan shook his head speechlessly, but he didn't wake him up, he just asked Zhang Bao to prepare some food, so that the third cousin wouldn't feel uncomfortable when he woke up.

Waiting for the day when the rankings will be released, Li Yaonan doesn't know what other people think. Anyway, he feels bored. With this time, he would rather stay at home with his lovely wife and young children.

After Zhang Qixian finished the provincial examination, his whole body was full of energy, as if he had come back to life. After checking the test questions with Li Yaonan, he felt that he did well in the examination, so he immediately started playing. He was originally a well-known talent in Yangzhou, and soon So I became one with the scholars who took the exam this time, and if it wasn't for the rain, maybe we would meet for an outing.

"Hi! There is a poetry meeting in Chunfang Building today, do you want to go see it with brother?" Zhang Qixian swaggered into the room without any embarrassment of not knocking on the door. He is imposing.

Li Yaonan had nothing to say, squinting at his third cousin, he couldn't help but guess in his heart, how long can he maintain this dignified and personable appearance?

"Hey! Don't look down on people so much, okay?" Zhang Qixian became unhappy, and raised his eyebrows: "Brother and you are on our own, so there are not so many rules."

Li Yaonan suddenly realized that he had spoken what was in his heart.

"Are you going or not?" Zhang Qixian asked urgently. Hearing that the oiran of Chunfang Building was performing today, he couldn't even find a seat when he went late.

Li Yaonan shook his head, Chun Fang Lou knew it was a brothel just by its name, as for the poetry club, no matter whether he or the original owner of this body, he was not good at poetry, so he definitely wouldn't go there.

Zhang Qixian frowned: "Don't be bored by yourself, it will be half a month before the ranking is released, go out for a walk with brother, it's good to relax."

"Don't go, you go by yourself." Li Yaonan said lightly, his poems are not good, and it is better to go to places like Chunfang Building that show off, and he doesn't think that brothels are a good place. He doesn't want to make the little husband sad.

Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, Zhang Qixian didn't bother to waste any more words, curled his lips, and ran to meet his so-called friend on his own.

After he left, Li Yaonan thought for a while and wrote a letter to Fu Lang. He still remembered Lin Yixuan's red eyes when he left in the carriage. A sour, astringent feeling, he felt a little homesick.

If it had been changed to his previous life, someone told him that he would defend himself like a jade for a man, and he might have slapped him away long ago, but now that the facts are in front of him, Li Yaonan could only smile wryly, with a hint of helplessness and connivance in his smile, There is still a little bit of sweetness.

He doesn't want his son to have a bad father. The fathers in his past life have never left a good impression on him. He only hopes that his children will grow up healthily, and it is best to be carefree under the care of their parents. , It can be regarded as making up for the regrets of his past and present lives.

Besides, the more he gets along with the little husband, the more moved he is, how can he live up to such a person!Before he knew it, his little husband had long been engraved on his heart.

Time goes by day by day, Li Yaonan is not all bored in the house these few days, he will go to the teahouse to taste tea, listen to other people's stories, or go to the bookstore to pick out a few favorite books and buy them back. Fang Hen Shao has a long way to go in the future, so it is always good to read more books.

During this period, he also made a few friends. Although most of them were casual acquaintances, it felt good for a few people to get together and not talk about personal affairs, only about romance.

Soon, the day when the rankings were announced came, and the entrance of the Gongyuan was crowded with people. With the experience of children's examinations, Li Yaonan learned well this time, and took up a seat in the teahouse opposite the Gongyuan early. wait for news.

Zhang Qixian was so nervous that his palms were sweating. Although he pretended to be calm and didn't worry about the imperial examination, how could he really not care about his grades.

With a sound of joy, everyone in the teahouse was happy and disappointed.

"Congratulations to the third young master, congratulations to the third young master, you have hit, you have hit." Zhang Bao was panting while running, and he arrived before the sound.

Zhang Qixian's eyes lit up: "How much did you win?"

Zhang Bao took a breath, and hurriedly said: "You won No.16, congratulations, Mr. Juren."

"What about him?" Zhang Qixian was overjoyed and pointed at Li Yaonan.

"Master Biao also won..." Before Zhang Bao could finish his sentence, the servant came back sweating profusely, and shouted excitedly, "Congratulations, master, you won No.13 this time."

"Haha!" Li Yaonan slapped the table and laughed heartily.

Zhang Qixian couldn't bear it, and his teeth were itching with hatred. Why did he have three more people than him? When he went back, his father didn't nag him to death. After a while, he said: "I will treat you to dinner another day."

Li Yaonan readily agreed, and added: "I won't go to brothels."

"Hmph!" Zhang Qixian's eyes were full of contempt, and he looked down on his cousin, so he was controlled by a pair of children, but it was a family matter after all, even if everyone was relatives, he couldn't intervene, even if Lin Yixuan Young Master of the Hou Mansion, but if you want him to see it, your cousin will be at a disadvantage.
