There is a little husband in the home of crossing

After the results were released, the examinees completely relaxed. The students who failed the test went back to their hometowns sadly, and the students who passed the exam began to be busy. They made friends and entertained guests, met with teachers, and the candidates met in groups to drink. For the candidates in the same list, they must at least have a friendship with each other, who knows that that person will not leap into the dragon's gate in the future, it is always right to have a good relationship.

Li Yaonan was very busy. Of his friends, only two failed the exam, and the other six passed the exam.

This time they met at Tianranju, originally to celebrate, but Sun Ruisi and Qu Junliang failed to win the election, so everyone changed their names to talk about politics and talk about the current situation.

Of course, the discussion will definitely not involve sensitive topics, and the small talk is just talking about what happened in the DPRK and China, as well as some situations in various places, and some of my own opinions.

That's why Li Yaonan likes to chat with them. Listening to everyone's speech can make up for his own shortcomings.

Seeing a few friends talking freely, Sun Ruisi and Qu Junliang felt lost, and they just drank a lot of wine all night, talking loudly about the high-spirited image some time ago, as if they were far away from them.

Everyone talked happily, each according to their own opinions, eloquently, and occasionally argued loudly, and their faces were flushed. After a while, after a few glasses of rice wine, it seemed like nothing had happened.

Li Yaonan likes this kind of atmosphere, full of a kind of vigor that modern people have never had before.

Sun Ruisi and Qu Junliang were frowning, and several friends won the election one after another. One can imagine the gap in their hearts.However, the two also understand that their friend's attitude at this time is the best for them. Any sympathy and pity at this time will only make people feel that it is an insult.

Or Zhu Haoyan couldn't see it, frowned and said: "You two brothers don't have to be like this, if you fail this subject, you will come again and again, why bother to act like this, do you two brothers have no confidence in your knowledge?"

Sun Ruisi smiled bitterly, with a slightly melancholy expression: "I used to have confidence in my knowledge, but now I have no confidence, alas!"

Li Yaonan's heart moved, and he asked instead: "Brother Sun, what's the problem?"

Sun Ruisi shook his head and remained silent.

It is inconvenient for others to ask more questions when they see him like this. After all, their relationship is not that good, not to mention that literati pay attention to privacy.

Qu Junliang was silent for a while, and managed to hold up a smile: "I haven't congratulated the brothers who won the exams. I'm going back to my hometown soon. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to meet with you again."

Li Mingzhang laughed: "Brother Junliang, don't be discouraged. Three years later, I will be waiting for you in the capital to be named on the gold list."

Li Yaonan looked at him in surprise, there were many meanings revealed in Li Mingzhang's words.

Qu Junliang cupped his hands and bowed, his face was still full of unresolved melancholy: "Thank you for your kind words."

Zhu Haoyan said in displeasure: "Don't mourn the Spring and Autumn Period there, come and drink, if you don't get drunk today, you won't come home, after this drink, we will see you in the capital in three years."

Qu Junliang was quite surprised: "Brother Zhu plans to go to the capital in three years?"

Zhu Haoyan said nonchalantly: "The teacher asked me to study hard for three years. Although I will take the examination next year, there is a big difference between the Jinshi and the same Jinshi. The teacher is afraid that I will lose his face because of my lack of knowledge, so he asked me to take the exam after three years. Strive to get high school once."

Qu Junliang understood instantly, and his mood improved a bit. He picked up the wine glass and drank it down: "Okay, for the words of brother Zhu, I will definitely study hard and practice hard when I go back. I will see you in the capital three years later."

"That's right!" Zhu Haoyan also picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

Seeing that he spoke generously, everyone smiled knowingly. No one asked him who his teacher was, and no one inquired about his details. Everyone had a tacit understanding with each other, and they only talked about the world together.

The same goes for Liu Jingye and Min Bowen. They plan to retake the exam three years later, so they can be more confident. You need to know that Jinshi can only sit as a fourth-rank official in their lifetime. They have ideals and revenge, so naturally they are unwilling to be buried.

This gathering of several people was also a final farewell. Although Li Mingzhang didn't say anything, everyone could hear that he was either originally from the capital, or he planned to continue to participate in the examination.

Zhou Qian is a good friend of Li Mingzhang, so the two of them didn't mention what they thought, and no one asked much about it.

Li Yaonan said frankly that he plans to go to the capital this year.

Lu Zhian also said with a smile that Jinke will take the exam, and he must go.

There is no appointment with each other, and there is no friendship with each other. Except for Zhu Haoyan and others who are not planning to participate in the test, Li Mingzhang, Zhou Qian, Lu Zhian, and Li Yaonan, they are well aware that whether this friendship can be deepened in the future depends on fate .Putting aside one's identity and family background like now, it is probably impossible to get together to express one's opinions directly. After being named on the gold list, the imperial court will send officials to Jinshi. There is no such thing as pure friendship in the officialdom.

Everyone talked for a while, and the wine was almost drunk, and they said goodbye to each other, and soon they dispersed.

I don't know if such an ordinary friendship can continue after this time, but everyone seems very satisfied, so that's good.

Li Yaonan was in a happy mood. The few friends he met this time seemed to be smart people, much better than those who could only recite poems and make a match. It wasn't him who said it, but seeing his third cousin, who attended some poetry gatherings all day long, At the reception, a large group of literati moaned painlessly, feeling a little speechless. In that kind of occasion, to be honest, he didn't find anything substantial.

oh!Of course there is, Li Yaonan suddenly remembered that he heard that a scholar who did a good job in poetry was favored by Jinling Tongzhi and planned to recruit him home to be his son-in-law. The family almost didn't tear their face apart, and in the end Tongzhi gave in, after all, the official rank crushed people to death.

On the prefect's side, he happily exchanged name cards for his daughter, while on the other side, the prefect turned around and chose a romantic and talented man to be his daughter-in-law, which can be regarded as a good story.

After Li Yaonan heard about the typical dog-blood bridge, he felt that the sky was thundering. No wonder he found out before the provincial examination that the young students under the age of 17 were almost betrothed, so they were waiting here.

But no matter what, those things had nothing to do with him, and ten days passed in a flash. Under Zhang Qixian's reluctant gaze, Li Yaonan relentlessly escorted him, and boarded the carriage for the return journey.

Zhang Qixian frowned, and his handsome face was bulging: "I just made an appointment with my classmate, and we will meet in Juxian Building this afternoon. You can't let me break my promise."

Li Yaonan was expressionless, and said with a sneer: "You made an appointment at Huide Building yesterday, and Qunfang Pavilion the day before yesterday, where will you make an appointment tomorrow?"

"Make an appointment at Yanchun Pavilion tomorrow." Zhang Qixian accepted it smoothly.

Li Yaonan snorted and broke his hope cruelly: "Don't even think about it, obediently go back with me, so you can have an explanation for your second uncle."

Zhang Qixian became listless for an instant, and his whole body was listless: "I'm just afraid of seeing him."

Li Yaonan couldn't help being a little angry, and said angrily, "That's your father—"

Zhang Qixian scratched his head, knowing that he had gone too far, and hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, alas, I was just afraid of his nagging, who told you not to pass the exam, just my father's temper, my child must not be biological, go back I’m about to be locked up again, and I’ve finally been free for a few days.”

Li Yaonan laughed angrily: "Are you still talking about you? I got poor grades in the exam, so I blamed me. If you have the ability, you will try again in the next year. If you can win the gold medal, I guarantee that the second uncle will not bother you again. "

Zhang Qixian opened his lips to refute, but after thinking about it, he felt that what he said was reasonable, and sighed: "Isn't it enough to pass the exam and just pass the exam? Why do you still have to take the exam?"

Li Yaonan said unhurriedly: "You didn't win the Jinshi for a day, and the second uncle hopes that his son will become a dragon, so he will definitely discipline him strictly. In the future, if you are named on the gold list, you will go to other places to become an official like my grandfather. It's probably impossible to babble a few words."

"I don't like other people's nagging." Zhang Qixian retorted disdainfully, thought for a while, and asked, "You mean the second uncle?"

Li Yaonan nodded, Zhang Qixian's second uncle was his maternal grandfather, and now his whole family is in Hunan.

Zhang Qixian pondered for a while, and wondered if Li Yaonan had made sense of it. For the rest of the journey, he never made a fuss about going back. Instead, he picked up the book and read it. He urged Li Yaonan to hurry up and prepare for the Romance of the Ancients. Now that the township examination is over, he is anxiously waiting for the next volume.

Li Yaonan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, his cousin's temper really made people not know what to say, I hope he will have a smooth journey in the officialdom in the future.

Besides, for Lin Yixuan, since Li Yaonan left, he has calmed down, and only takes care of his children at home. Whenever he looks at the raindrops falling from the sky, he can't help worrying whether his husband will be frozen or hungry. I have passed the imperial examination, but I have heard about the situation of the imperial examination. My husband has only been raised for a month, and I don't know how much weight I will lose this time.

Lin Yixuan had never felt that the waiting time was so difficult, but fortunately, this situation did not last for too long. In mid-September, the capital's congratulatory gifts arrived, and Lin's mother learned about her son's situation in Beijing. Lin Yixuan told him that he would not be merciless when he sold out his servants.

This time Lin Yixuan hadn't come over in a hurry, but on the early morning of the sixth day of October, the yamen was beating gongs and drums, and they went straight to Li's house.

Neighbors in the neighborhood watched one after another, but they didn't expect that the Li family had just moved in, and there would be a master Juren.

Lin Yixuan couldn't stop being pleasantly surprised, so he hurriedly asked for a reward, his thoughts were preoccupied by his husband Zhongju, and he was no longer in the mood to think wildly.

The capital is the place where he grew up, it is also the place he hates, and it is also the place he has to go in the future.

With the matter in front of them, Lin Yixuan's thoughts became complicated. The next step is that they will rush to the capital!

Lin Yixuan struggled for many days. In fact, he also missed his mother, but thinking about the situation in Beijing and those bad things, he became irritable again. He ran to the main courtyard shouting, "Master Juren is back!"

Lin Yixuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and ran to the door quickly.

Li Yaonan stood not far away, thinner and darker, but his eyes looked brighter.

"Husband." Seeing that figure, Lin Yixuan couldn't find anything else in his eyes, and the surrounding scenery seemed to lose all color.
