Bianshanhan [farming]

Just when Li Qingwen was about to go to Huzhou, Li Qingzhuo came back with a calm expression on his face, Li Qingwen secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Zai'er, the private school you want to go to is not bad..." Li Qingzhuo gave Li Qingwen the books full of annotations that he had used before. He had put a lot of effort into these before, but he won't need them anymore.

Li Qingwen took the book and asked, "Second brother, what happened to Lin Xueshi?"

"We are still investigating right now, and there should be no clues in a while." Li Qingzhuo said.

Li Qingwen said about Old Man Du's identity, but Li Qingzhuo didn't know about it, but he wasn't too surprised, this place in the capital is like this, if a brick is dropped, it may hit an official above rank six.

Moreover, the old man Du has already retired, so he really has no official position. He is just an ordinary citizen, so he is not hiding his identity.

They really wanted to thank Old Dutou, but he went out and didn't return, so they put it aside for now.

After returning, Li Qingzhuo took his younger brother to several well-known medical centers in the inner city to check his body, and the response was very good.

Things are almost done, and not wanting to waste any more time, Li Qingwen wanted to go to the private school early.

Instead, Li Qingzhuo stopped urging him, and told Li Qingwen to do what he could and not to be too tired.

At this time, Li Qinghong had already bought the shop in the east of the city, and Li Qingyong and others no longer needed to stay in the inn, and most of them moved to the courtyard in the east city.

The place there is very large, and it is more than enough to accommodate 40 or [-] people.

The shops in Dongcheng began to be tidied up, Li Qingzhuo returned to the academy, and everything seemed to be calm again.

The Li family took Li Qingwen's luggage and books to the outskirts. Of course, they wanted to see what Li Qingwen was studying. Come here to read.

Li Qingyong talked the most, and Li Qingwen just thought it was funny. This guy, he is obviously rich, he is not too old, and it is not too late to study. He himself is not willing, and insists on sending his son to study after he is born. I don’t know why. .

Ever since he knew that the bundle repairs he paid was less than [-]% of others', no matter what Zhu Ze said, Li Qingwen resolutely did not live in a separate room, but went to a room where four people lived together.

The four-person room is the same as the single room. They are all in the same small building, facing the other side, and there is also a flower garden. You can smell the soil when you stand at the window.

Li Qingwen liked it very much, no matter whether he was in Yangshu Village or in the border town, he was always surrounded by this smell, with a familiar feeling, which made him often forget that he was in the capital.

Obviously when I came last time, the flower garden was still earthy, but now it has grown a half-green, fluffy layer, which is really cute.

Li Qingwen only moved in at the end of April. There were three people who lived here before, and he was the latest one.

Except for Li Qingwen, the other three were not from the capital either, Qin Yu from Tongzhou Sining Mansion, Zhu Zuyuan from Quanzhou, and Chen Tai from Wanzhou.

Although they lived in the same room, they were different from the newcomer Li Qingwen. The others were already candidates, but they failed the provincial examination last year and continued their preparations in private schools this year.

According to Lao Zhang, the Xueyin private school is full of children from rich families. Li Qingwen once thought that he had entered an aristocratic school by mistake, but after he arrived, he found that it was not always true. There were indeed those kind of servants and maidservants around, but there were also ordinary people similar to him. .

On the first day of moving in, Li Qingwen ate the private school's meals, most of which were steamed. If he wasn't taking care of his body, Li Qingwen would feel a little dull.

The school Li Qingwen was going to was different from the three roommates. When he arrived at the private school, the master's "Yi" was halfway through.

Li Qingwen has long been familiar with this book by heart, and it is not difficult to learn it halfway.

There are more than 20 new students like Li Qingwen, with a huge age difference, the oldest is over fifty, and the youngest is only thirteen or fourteen years old.

The life in the private school was not much different from the school in the previous life. Li Qingwen quickly adapted to this kind of life by going to class, practicing calligraphy, eating, and sleeping every day.

Different from the closed management model in the previous life, the private school was more free, studying during the day, and after school, some classmates called each other to drink. Li Qingwen couldn't drink, so he went there twice and only drank tea.

Later, he found it boring, so Li Qingwen stayed in the private school to practice calligraphy, not daring to allow himself too much free time, for fear that he would keep thinking about people and things in the border town.

Although the students came from all corners of the country with different accents, most of them were very easy to get along with. Li Qingwen received all kinds of things they brought from their hometown, and also returned gifts one by one.

Because the border town has not yet established a registration, when asked about his ancestral home, Li Qingwen still returned to his hometown in Bingzhou.

Years of severe drought in Bingzhou was a rare and serious disaster. The refugees ran everywhere. Most of the people in Daliang knew that Li Qingwen also received comfort from his roommate.

By the time the leaves in the manor became more lush and more shady, Li Qingwen had already learned from others that the fish in the pond were edible, but tasteless. They had been raised for many years, and no one had thought of them.

In May, an official envoy went to the border town and took away a thick stack of letters from the Li family.

Li Qingwen wrote letters to his family, and also wrote a separate letter to Jiang Cong.

The two had lived together for so long before, and they separated abruptly. They couldn't help but miss them very much, especially after confirming their mutual intentions. However, before leaving the border town, the two talked with each other for a long time. Li Qingwen felt that he should not miss the resumption of the imperial examination. Golden opportunity.

The Yangxiezi hot pot in Dongcheng opened, Li Qinghong came to pick up his younger brother, and Li Qingwen invited the three people in the same room.

The three roommates happened to be free and went into the city together.

The Yangxiezi shop in Dongcheng is very grand. After all, it is the second hot pot restaurant. Li Qinghong has seen a lot in the past two years.

Because they were his younger brother's classmates, everyone in the Li family was very enthusiastic about Qin Yu and the three of them. The meal was enjoyable, but Li Qingzhuo didn't come because he had something to do, which made Li Qingwen feel a little uneasy.

There was still half a month left for the selection exam, and he didn't know what the second brother was up to. When he asked the third brother, Li Qinghong said to pick up Miss Lin and he would come back the day after tomorrow.

Could it be that Lin Xueshi was fine and went back to the capital, so the second brother went to pick him up?

If this is the case, that would be great, Li Qingwen thought to himself.

Because of the curfew, Li Qingwen and Yu went back after eating.

Being able to go to Yuebei private school to attend classes is not a gimmick, Qin Yu and Chen Tai often go there, for beginners like Li Qingwen, their own private school is enough, and there is no need to run back and forth.

No matter how late it was to listen to the master's lecture at the Yuebei private school, Qin Yu and Chen Tai would come back, and the students there lived in tight quarters, and there was no extra room for them.

Moreover, the two private schools are not far away, and they can come back soon after taking a step.

Some of the flowers in the flower garden near the private school are blooming, most of them are flower buds, but the pumpkin flowers are blooming first, and the yellow ones look quite ordinary, but they are valued by the people in the manor.

Zhu Ze told Li Qingwen that this is the gourd flower of the northern country, and they only have dozens of seeds, and every grain is extremely precious.

When he said this, he didn't dare to recognize what Li Qingwen said, and asked where it came from.

"Our master got it from Master Du." Zhu Ze said.

In a word, Li Qingwen knew Pumpkin Blossom again.

Because Li Qingwen told Old Man Du that this thing could climb vines, maybe they didn't know how much it could climb, so there was a lot of open space in this area.

Li Qingwen felt that the open space was too wasteful, so he asked Zhu Ze if he could grow some vegetables, Zhu Ze nodded, they have a special vegetable garden, but the land is empty, so you can plant it if you want.

Li Qingwen took the opportunity of returning to the city to buy some rapeseeds, and after returning, he planted them in one evening.

After the Jiang family and they arrived home, they immediately sent a letter to the capital to ensure safety, and Li Qingwen also received a letter specially written to him by Qin Dongmeng.

In the letter, Qin Dongmeng said that she was married and a child was about to be born, and hoped that Li Qingwen would come to Hongzhou to play soon.

Because she didn't mention Jiang Cong at all, Li Qingwen was quietly relieved.Otherwise, I really don't know how to get back to Qin Dongmeng.

Li Qingwen and his private school also had two people to take part in the official selection exam. On the day of the exam, the private school happened to be closed for ten days. Li Qingwen returned to the capital from the private school, and together with his third brother, he nervously circled around his second brother.

Being played around by the two of them and putting on the newly made clothes and the exquisite purse, Li Qingzhuo didn't seem very nervous, and even occasionally stared blankly.

Li Qingwen felt that he had something on his mind, so he asked, "Second brother, has Lin Xueshi's affairs changed again?"

"No." Li Qingzhuo restrained his mind and said, "The case was brought to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. No one dares to be hasty under the feet of the world. The truth will definitely come to light."

Li Qingwen thought to himself, it shouldn't be an ordinary thing for a state capital case to come to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

But the second brother never wanted him to worry about it, and he didn't want to distract him by mentioning it before the exam, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart.

On the day of the exam, Li Qingwen and others got up early, had breakfast, and took the car with Li Qingzhuo to the inner city.

There were also a lot of people in this election. When entering the inner city, Li Qingwen felt that there were more horses and horses than usual, because he didn't go to the inner city often, and he didn't know if it was because of the exam.

They set off very early. At that time, there were only two or three carriages outside the gate of the Ministry of Officials, which belonged to residents in the inner city. The signs hanging on the carriages belonged to prestigious families in the capital.

After staying outside for a while, there were more and more people. When the time came, someone called out their names to the roster, and those who called out their names entered. Li Qingzhuo's name was very high, at the ninth place, which was his provincial examination result ranking.

Watching Li Qingzhuo go in, Li Qingwen and Li Qinghong did not leave, but waited outside.

Li Qingwen had gone through many major and minor exams, and he could stroll around while waiting, while Li Qinghong was extremely nervous and sweated all the time.

Li Qingwen thought, next time he takes the exam, he should not let third brother know, so as not to worry him so much.
