Bianshanhan [farming]

In the first year of Datong, the new emperor announced the resumption of the imperial examination, continuing the form of the previous dynasty, setting up dozens of subjects such as Mingjing, Jinshi, Mingfa, etc. All scholars in the world, whether through government schools, or local state schools, county schools, etc. Examinations, those who pass the test and get the certificate of solution, it becomes a case.

The candidates selected by the official school and various places will take part in the Ministry of Rites Examination and the Ministry of Rites Examination together, and then they will be awarded the official position of the imperial court.

Daliang’s Central Official School has “six schools and three halls”, which are the highest schools, and Wenzheng Academy is not among them. Therefore, Li Qingzhuo, who continued to study in Wenzheng Academy, took part in the autumn exam in the first year as a student in the capital, and was among more than 1000 people The name is eighth, and in December, he received a petition from Jingzhao Prefecture.

Because there is Chun Wei who will continue to prepare for the next year's Shangshu Province, Li Qingzhuo not only can't go home to tell the good news to his family in person, but also has to continue to study hard.

At the beginning of the first year of Datong, the good news was handed over to the guards with a thick letter, and it was not until the end of April that Biancheng learned about it.

Li Qingzhuo was the first scholar in Yangshu Village, and he immediately obtained the qualifications for the examination. All the clan members were honored, the ranking of the ancestors was wiped over and over again, and the elders talked about it for several days.

Among the rows of earthen houses outside the camp, there are a few more spacious rooms with tables and benches made by the villagers. Now all the sons and daughters of the villages are sitting in them, writing seriously.

Reading and literacy has always been elusive for farmers, because it is not a small amount of money whether it is to pay for repairs or to buy books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

The people in the village do not walk very far, and they all circle within a radius of dozens of miles, but they know that Li Maoxian can read and write, and they also know that he taught several sons to read and write. Therefore, Li Maoxian and his several sons are better than their peers in the village. Both are much better.

Seeing this clearly, after the villagers arrived in the border town, they worked diligently to buy a lot of things and exchanged some money, so they didn't have to worry about starvation, and their children's study was on their minds.

Therefore, when Li Qingwen and his three brothers went to the capital the year before last, the villagers specially asked them to buy things for studying. At that time, they all recommended Li Maoxian to teach the children.

Later, Zhou Fengnian was willing to help. Knowing the identities of these exiles, he selected a few people with fair conduct to teach the children to read.

These people are all from rich and noble families. They have a special teacher to teach them since they were young. They are serious scholars. Zhou Fengnian spared them all kinds of things they should do. The school is up.

The people in the village not only respect Zhou Fengnian's love, but also respect these masters. During the festivals, baskets of food, meat, eggs, mushrooms and fruits are given away. This year, they get along very well.

Originally, the big guy just wanted his children to be able to read and write. Later, when the imperial examination was reopened, several masters encouraged these mud monkeys to study hard, and they would be able to earn a living when they were ranked first. suffer this.

It's just that most of the children's impressions of being an official are only those domineering officials. If it wasn't for the master's disapproval, they would all want to spit on the ground.

Of course, they also secretly envy Zhou Fengnian who rides a big horse, knowing that if he can be an official, he will be majestic, but studying is too tiring and boring, so it would be better to run wildly outside with the dog.

When Li Qingzhuo's good news came, everyone suddenly realized that not only can you read well, but you might not have to wade in the mud for the rest of your life. The mother picked up the broom bump.

After shouting for a while, on the second day, everyone sitting in the school became much more honest, they didn't dare to roll their eyes, and there were fewer people who lowered their heads to play with their shoes.

Not to mention those young children, even Li Qingyong and Li Qingfeng were taken here to read books for several hours a day. If you copy it down well, you will be qualified, and you don't need to study again.

Among the group of tall boys, Li Qingfeng was the first one to be free. One thing he had learned before, and he was better than other companions who had never touched a pen. The other thing was that he was still thinking about going to the birch forest, and stayed up all night. Reading and writing, so three days will be free.

Li Qingrui was amazed that the fourth child had never been so serious. If he liked not riding horses but writing, there would be another talented person in the family.

Just when there was a wave of reading craze in the remote border town, Li Qingzhuo, who had finished the Chunwei exam, packed up his things and prepared to go home.

Before leaving, someone came to the restaurant in the alley, took away a thick book from Li Qingzhuo, and left 100 taels of silver, which was money from selling poems.

Chunwei added some examination content of poetry and songs, and the drafts he practiced in his spare time were sorted out and sold, earning more than Li Qingzhuo thought.

Li Qinghong and the others also wanted to go back to the border town, but since everyone had left, the shop couldn't be opened. It would take a few months to go back and forth, and it would take half a year to close the shop, which is a bit embarrassing.

Therefore, Li Qinghong followed his second brother to the shop and bought a lot of things. The others had wages and saved a lot, but they were not willing to spend them, so Li Qingzhuo asked Li Qingzhuo to take the money back.

The wind of the small heat urges the beans to ripen early.

The day of July is just one word - hot!

After several months of recuperation, Li Qingwen's waking time became longer and longer, his body gradually recovered, from only drinking honey to being able to drink rice soup, sucking fruit juice and deer's milk, he also learned a lot of things. Braiding, milking cows, cutting antlers and more.

His health was getting better day by day, and Li Qingwen couldn't wait to go home. He had been away from home for almost ten months. He missed his family and wanted to go back early to make them feel at ease.

Jiang Cong was not in a hurry. After the witch doctor nodded, Li Qingwen said goodbye to everyone in the Chatu tribe, the deer and the dogs, and went home with Jiang Cong.

When they left, there were more battles than when they came. The little girl gave a lot of flowers, but Li Qingwen couldn't keep them, so Jiang Cong wove flowers into hats for Li Qingwen and himself to wear, and many of them hung around their necks.The little boys took out the bone knives they had sharpened with their own hands. Li Qingwen thanked them one by one and put them in their pockets.

The dogs were not far behind either, no matter how big or small they were, they all came out to give them away, barking and biting their trouser legs, refusing to let them go.

In addition to a group of puppies, big and small, Liu He and more than 20 young people from the clan were also there.

The forest is also very dangerous, only Jiang Cong and Li Qingwen are not safe.

Li Qingwen and Jiang Cong rode the same horse, covered by trees, and even though they hadn't tasted the harshness of the sun, when they ran all the way out of the forest, Li Qingwen wilted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was too hot, there was no wind at all, and the whole wasteland seemed to be still, letting the scorching sun rage.

Jiang Cong gave him the leather jacket to cover his head. Li Qingwen listened to the dogs barking happily nearby, squinted his eyes, and heard the sound of insects chirping. He wished he could fly back with his wings!

Li Qingfeng went to the south to pick out duck eggs again in the past two days. He wanted to go to the birch forest earlier, but Li Qingyong begged him to wait for two more days, and after two more days, he would be able to transcribe the book, and then go together.

One person can't take too many things, so Li Qingfeng can only wait patiently for them.

He was full of energy, went to bed early and woke up early every day, before dawn, when he went to the north to watch ducks, he saw Zhou Yao by the river.

Zhou Yao never gets up early, everyone knows this, Li Qingfeng felt strange, walked over, and before he could speak, he heard Zhou Yao muttering while burning paper, "I am incompetent, I can't save your life, Jiang Cong is useless now." Sin, you can go at ease..."

Li Qingfeng was very puzzled. No one was killed in their trip to the north, and no one who was familiar with Jiang Cong was heard inside or outside the camp. Who is Zhou Yao burning paper for?

He didn't wonder for too long, and soon heard his younger brother's name from Zhou Yao's mouth. Li Qingfeng thought she was hysterical at the time, and said, "Zhou Yao, what are you doing? My brother is fine, aren't you curse him?"

Zhou Yao turned around and saw that it was him, she stood up with a sluggish expression, and said, "Li Qingfeng, you always thought what your elder brother said was true?"

Li Qingfeng frowned, Zhou Yao wiped the tears from her face, and continued: "He came up with this excuse because he was afraid that your parents would not be able to bear it. I have approached him several times, but he is still obsessed... "

"You, you mean..." Li Qingfeng was dumbfounded.

"I'm a doctor." Zhou Yao's eyes were red when she said this, "I know Li Qingwen's injury better than your elder brother and Jiang Cong..."

"You're talking nonsense! When you were in the mine, you said that Zai'er's injury is not serious, as long as you take good care of it, and now you're back!"

"That's because your elder brother didn't allow me to tell!" Zhou Yao also yelled at him. She was more powerless than anyone else in this matter. Until now, when she closed her eyes, Li Qingwen kept spitting out blood clots.

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!" Li Qingfeng took two steps back, his back bent, as if he couldn't straighten up because of some heavy weight.

"Go and call your elder brother, I'll let him tell you personally!"

Needless to say to Zhou Yao, Li Qingfeng has already rushed home like a gust of wind, Li Qingrui and Li Maoxian were feeding the horses, when they saw him coming, they shouted: "Fourth brother, pass over that fork..."

Li Qingfeng gasped heavily and didn't move for a long time. He really wanted to question his elder brother right now, but his parents were beside him, so he swallowed hard, grabbed his elder brother's arm, and dragged him to the river.

"What are you doing? I haven't finished feeding yet..." Seeing the fourth child's eyes were red and his face was painful, Li Qingrui stopped talking, and walked along with him frowning until he saw Zhou Yao. He immediately understood what Li Qingfeng was doing. What does it look like.

Since returning from the north, Zhou Yao was the only one who firmly believed that Li Qingwen was dead, and kept looking for him, telling him to stop lying and tell everyone the truth as soon as possible.
