Bianshanhan [farming]

Before the fall of last year, Li Qinghong went to the temple to offer incense, and asked Yaodi for a lottery.

When going down the mountain, I met a girl who had lost her purse and borrowed a hundred copper coins. Later, when she went home, the girl's family returned the money.

Originally thought that this matter would be over, but after the Chinese New Year, Li Qinghong went to Shangxiang again, and happened to meet this girl again.

This girl was not alone, there was a woman of similar age and two acquaintances with her. They should have come to the temple together, but the car broke down on the way back.

It was getting dark at that time, both the coachman and the women were sweating anxiously, Li Qinghong stopped and wanted to see if he could help with the repair, but when he saw that it couldn't be done, he asked the women to go back first. He and the driver struggled to push the cart away.

Because the girl surnamed Lu was helped by Li Qinghong twice, the aunt who was traveling with her knew about it, and went back to inquire about it, hoping to connect with the two of them.

Li Qinghong has long since reached the age when it is time to get married, and he has always remembered the words of his parents, so if someone is a matchmaker, he will look at it seriously.

Although it was said that this fate came late, it went very smoothly after getting the lead. Just when Li Qingwen was lighting up the night battle, he didn't know that the third brother's lifelong event had a clue.

It took Xu Qingyuan a few months to learn suona, but Li Qingwen didn't care about studying, so he didn't have to learn it for the time being.

After the new year, Li Qingwen grew up in the Yuebei private school. The cold winter had not yet passed, so he wore thicker clothes. Many people's hands and feet were cold, and they had to put their mouths to breathe the heat for a long time before writing.

Although it was only a few years later, when Li Qingwen came to the capital to study, he brought a lot of valuable things, which was completely different from when Li Qingzhuo came here.

Although he doesn't spend money randomly, he is not short of money. He is no better than those rich and noble families, and he is much better than scholars like Yuebei Private School. Especially seeing that the paper these people use is rough and ink, Li Qingwen feels that the road to school is difficult.

Li Qingwen no longer wasted time on the scriptures, whether it was memorizing, writing, or annotating, there was no problem at all, and he even memorized a few books that were more than the content of the exam.

For the poetry and fu, Li Qingwen rhymed a few rhymes by himself. Among them, a pair of poems and fu used the contents of the letter he received from the border town and the dreams he had after receiving the letter respectively. When I was writing, it was like splashing ink. When I finished writing, I read it by myself, and suddenly felt my face was hot.

Just, it's just a little gross...

There is no way, we have been separated for too long, and I miss so much, I can't help but flow out from the tip of the pen.

After reading the poems and Fu, Li Qingzhuo asked him if he had someone he liked.

Because the two brothers are the same, they are not good at poetry and prose, so when doing the questions, they often focus on describing scenery, traveling, seeing off, and expressing their aspirations. The poems are very different.

Li Qingwen's neck was red, but he was wearing too much to block it, "It was just a dream..."

"Zai'er, if you don't stick to rhyme in the exam, you can rank among the best with just these two poems of yours."

After repeated study, Li Qingzhuo gave his younger brother such a judgment.

Li Qingwen himself liked it very much, and his second brother also praised him so much, so he studied the poem and fu separately for several days, and changed three sets of rhymes.

Just after the new year, students from all over the world arrived in the capital one after another, and the supply of inns in the capital was in short supply.

In order not to delay the exam in February, many scholars in the state capital immediately bid farewell to their wives and family members and went to Beijing after passing the exam in October last year.

Some of the early scholars continued to study hard behind closed doors, while others visited various private schools and colleges with invitation cards, and after getting approval, they studied with the students here.

Quite a few came to Xueyin Private School, and two of them were Xu Qingyuan's nephews.

After receiving the candy brought by Xu Qingyuan's nephew from his hometown, Li Qingwen knew that Xu's family was a well-known scholarly family, and that Xu Qingyuan was quite senior, and his two nephews were older than him...

I don't know if it's because they are humble or because they really admire Xu Qingyuan. The two members of the Xu family have great respect and admiration for Xu Qingyuan. , the scene where Xu Qingyuan grabbed the bone with both hands and gnawed his mouth full of oil.

The two nephews of the Xu family wanted my uncle to guide them in poetry and fu, so Li Qingwen also followed them, and in the end they really learned a lot from them.

Xu Qingyuan is better at Fu, elegant and beautiful, graceful and soft, Li Qingwen thought, no wonder his nephew is so convincing, really amazing.

Everyone in the private school thought Master Xu was proficient in rhythm and calligraphy, but it was rare to see him show his skills in poetry and poetry. Li Qingwen felt that this man was really a treasure.

Although the two of them were very close, Li Qingwen still didn't ask Xu Qingyuan why he didn't take the imperial examination, because many people may have already asked this question.

Since it's been four years and he hasn't made this plan yet, he must have his own reasons.

On the ninth day of February, the high-profile provincial examination began, and the Ministry of Rites of Shangshu Province still presided over the examination.

There are still three exams, but each one is a day, and each exam is separated by two days.

Last year's provincial examination, Li Qingwen took the exam with all the scholars from Jingzhao Mansion, and this year's provincial exam, he took the exam with the candidates who passed the exam in previous years. Everyone sitting here is one of the hundred candidates in the provincial exam.

There was still no suspense in the first exam. Li Qingwen didn't ask anyone to see him off, but when he went out, he still saw the third brother.

During the two days of rest, Li Qingwen didn't delay at all, and turned through several thick poetry books so that they couldn't be closed.

The weather for the second exam was excellent, and Li Qingwen's assigned position was also good, with the bright sun shining on his face, he was slightly drunk.

After the examination papers were handed out, Li Qingwen was determined. Poems restricted rhymes, and Fu restricted rhymes, but they were all correct by him, so it was enough to transcribe the poems and fus he knew by heart on paper.

The moment Li Qingwen wrote, the corners of Li Qingwen's mouth suddenly curled up. It was the first time in his two lives that he wrote a love letter, and it was on such an occasion, which was completely unexpected.

However, thanks to the exam, no one else will see the paper except him and a few grading bachelors, so no matter how he writes about his love and longing, he will not feel ashamed.

After the second exam, Li Qingwen didn't worry too much. Shi Wuce himself was very confident. Even if the theory was added this year, it was the first time for others. He believed that he would be no worse than others in dealing with the new exam content.

Because they were afraid that Li Qingwen would think too much, every time he finished the exam, Li Qinghong and the others would not ask more questions, but counted the days on their fingers and prepared things for Li Qingwen, because he had to leave the capital for Hongzhou after the exam.

The distance between Hongzhou and the capital is not close, and Li Qinghong is going to open a new shop, so he can't go with him, so naturally he has to worry about it.

The third exam started on time, and sure enough, two new theories were added, commenting on several decrees made by the new emperor after he ascended the throne. For this kind of questions, it would be good to sing praises first, and then add some of your own opinions. For Li Qingwen , this newly added theory is not much different from the previous one, you can still write what you want to write.

The current affairs policies in the provincial examination, what Li Qingwen wrote are all suggestions on people's livelihood protection, and they are all on public health. The local government organizes the elimination of the four pests of "rats, flies, mosquitoes, and bedbugs", which can eliminate the infection and spread of many diseases , as well as drinking boiled water, building more latrines and preventing and controlling diseases, etc.

The level of science and technology here is underdeveloped, so Li Qingwen tried to use all kinds of simple and simple means and methods from his previous life to improve people's livelihood as much as possible, and helping others is also helping himself.

People can't live without their surroundings, so he did his best to propose to the court that if he could get attention, the blessing of the people would be the blessing of the world.

When he put down his pen, Li Qingwen sat quietly for a long time. He now understood that if he was in a border town, the only people who could help him were relatives, friends and neighbors. If he came to take the exam, a small act might benefit more people.

Maybe his strength alone is really small, but he is a small seed. After the branches and leaves are stretched, it may be a small grass, or it may be a towering tree.

After the three exams, Li Qingwen left the courtyard, just stretched his waist, the basket in his hand was taken away, Li Qinghong pretended to smile mysteriously, "Zai'er, there is a surprise waiting for you when you come back!!"

However, Li Qingwen was held tightly by three roommates, and he couldn't get in the car to go home after all.

Chen Tai shouted at Li Qinghong: "Brother Li, you don't have to wait for your brother today, we will take care of him!"

In order to prepare for this year's exam, everyone couldn't care less about taking a few more breaths. After the exam, they wanted to vent their pent-up breath. All the members of the private school met for a drink, and none of them could be missing.

When being rushed away by a group of people, Li Qingwen couldn't even say a word to the third brother.

Li Qingwen seldom came out to play, and it was up to them to make decisions. Qin Yu and Zhu Zuyuan grabbed his left and right hands all the way.

Looking at the small building full of red lanterns in front of him, Li Qingwen felt that it was a joy, and asked casually, "Where is this?"

"Xianhua Pavilion." Someone next to him said: "You have been in the capital for so long, and you still don't know this place?"

The name sounded familiar, so Li Qingwen didn't think much of it, followed a group of classmates into the door, and sneezed three times in a row, suffocated by the aroma of rouge.

Going upstairs, beauties came in holding copper jugs full of wine. Looking at the half-covered clothes, Li Qingwen suddenly remembered.

When a young girl sat down next to his arm, Li Qingwen stood up abruptly, "I, I don't drink..."

Seeing him blushing, the girl covered her mouth and smiled, then picked up the fruit on the plate and put it in Li Qingwen's mouth.

Seeing that everyone around looked at ease, Li Qingwen took the fruit halfway, stuffed it into his mouth, swallowed it without even tasting the taste, "Girl, don't bother, I'll do it myself."
