These are not things that people like them can buy in a short period of time if they have money!
In the study room at that time, because Master Bai wanted to stay for dinner, and after finishing what he wanted to say, and thinking about the county examination the day after tomorrow, he simply made up his mind and started to give instructions to the two of them.
Although Xu Chongguang, the county magistrate, usually relies on Master Bai, he is still quite rigorous in this regard.
No one knows the question except himself.
However, Master Bai knew him to a certain extent, and with his guidance, the cousins Li Jun and Li Zheng, who were still a little worried about Xie Yanzhi's departure, slowly began to feel better.
What's more, before Master Bai left after eating, he told the two of them in a very vague way that he had remembered their handwriting.
As long as they don't do particularly badly, they will definitely pass the four or five county exams.
Li Jun, who did not have a solid foundation, was shocked when he heard this.
So what's the difference between this and cheating?
"Brother Yu Yuan, the imperial examination has always been based on merit. If my brothers are not so talented and learned, then give up. You must not do anything for us that we shouldn't do."
Master Bai saw that he was serious, thought for a moment, and said truthfully: "Well, as long as you perform stably, you should be able to pass, but your ranking is not very good. Your Excellency said, our county will admit 66 people in the county examination this year."
Li Jun knew that in previous years, fifty people were admitted, but when he heard that there were sixty-six people this year, there were sixteen more places, he was immediately reassured.
However, Li Zheng hurriedly asked: "Are these many admissions counted?"
You won’t say no when the time comes, and then your results will be invalidated and you’ll have to retake the exam, right?
"No problem! Last year, except for our Liuyun County, there were many casualties in other counties, including many scholars. This year, there are few references from other counties, and it is impossible to admit them just after applying, so the superiors asked Liuyun County to admit more students this year. The total number of people should not exceed seventy. Finally, my lord thought about it and decided to admit sixty-six people. Okay, you don’t need to send them away, just go back. You just need to know these things for yourselves, and don’t spread them to others."
After Master Bai said this, he turned around and left with his hands behind his back.
The brothers Li Jun and Li Zheng were left looking at each other for a while, then they began to grin silently.
Xinyang Fuzhong
Mrs. Wang originally decided to return to Liuyun County with Li Yuan and his wife.
As a result, she heard that Wu Yuer would not be beheaded until March. After thinking about it all night, she decided to wait until she saw Wu Yuer beheaded before going back.
She knew that it had nothing to do with Wu Yu'er and that the culprit was Gao Ningyao, but she couldn't help but express her anger.
She felt that if the other party hadn't said something he shouldn't have said when he was hanging out with Gao Ningyao, how could Gao Ningyao have thought that her second son had heard those words and decided to silence him?
Therefore, she had to see Wu Yu'er die. That woman was not a good person anyway!
Yan Jiao, who originally planned to go back with her, saw that Mrs. Wang would not go back, and her uncle and aunt didn't come either, so she decided to go back by herself a few days later.
Because of this, Li Yuan and Xie Yanzhi did not wait for them.
After the two of them packed up, they gave Old Han Li and his grandson two more months of silver, and then set off back.
But before they left the city, they met Su Mingshan who had returned from a long journey.
"Sister Li!"
Li Yuan heard the voice and looked up. When she saw Su Mingshan, her eyes lit up.
"Brother Xie, go to Su Mansion!"
Su Mingshan also heard what Li Yuan said and smiled and waved to her.
"Sister Li, I was just looking for you. Come on, let's go to your house to get together. I have a lot to say to you."
Li Yuan smiled and nodded towards her.
When the two arrived at the Su Mansion, Su Mingshan went directly to see her mother, and then talked about what happened in the capital in her mother's courtyard.
Ou Kui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Qingmei was now a sister, but because she was not in good health, she was taken to the Hou Mansion to recuperate.
God knows how sad Mingshan felt when she said that Qingmei was about to lose her temper.
Fortunately, fortunately, there is a miracle doctor's life-saving water, otherwise Qingmei might really be gone!
When Li Yuan heard what Su Mingshan said, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Does my aunt know that this time Qian Tongpan and Magistrate Zheng were brought to the Capital Criminal Department for trial?"
"I know! Aunt Xiuya knows that I am busy and want to come back, so let me tell you, don't be anxious, she will take care of it. She also said that Mrs. Hou in the mansion is not in good health, and it is difficult for her to leave the Hou mansion. I hope you and Li Jun sister and brother If you two have time, go to the capital so that she can see you."
With that said, Su Mingshan took out a purse from her arms and handed it over.
"There are six hundred taels here! Aunt Xiuya said it was for you and Li Jun, half for each of you. It is the red envelope she gave to her nephew and niece for the Chinese New Year since they were young, as well as the make-up for the wedding and the meeting gift for the nephew and his wife, etc. "
Li Yuan never expected that an aunt she had never met would give her and Junzi three hundred taels each.
Not only in Liuyun County, but also in this city, this money can buy a second home as long as the location is not required.
After thinking about it, she reached out and took it and asked: "My aunt has been hypnotized for so long, how could she suddenly get better?"
"I don't know what happened specifically. Anyway, I heard that she seemed to have knelt on her head, and then her memory kept coming back and forth. One moment she said her name was Han Xiuya, and the next she said her name was Qian Yufei. Later, after meeting Aunt Qing, I didn't I saw her repeat it again and again. However, she often suffers from brain pain. The Marquis called the imperial doctor to check her, but nothing was found."
After Su Mingshan said this, she couldn't help but yawn because she was so tired.
"Mingshan, Mr. Gao has been beheaded. Your father is so happy that he asks people to come back and sing songs every day these days."
When Su Mingshan heard this, she was no longer sleepy. She stood up and asked: "Really? Mom, what about the Gao family's property? Have they been confiscated? Have the Gao family's businesses been divided up by other families? What about our family? Did you take the opportunity to make some money? By the way, mom, where is my dad? Where is he today? I’ll go find him."
As she said that, she looked at Li Yuan with an apologetic look: "Sister Li, I'm a little busy, let's get together later when we have time!"
"Okay, I just have to go back to Liuyun County, so I'll talk about it later when I have time."
Although the return journey was delayed for a while, it was not too long. It was only an hour. She just needed to be able to leave today.
When Li Yuan and Xie Yanzhi's carriages and Su Mingshan left the Su Mansion one after another, they saw Mrs. Qin's carriage parked at the door of the Su Mansion.
Mrs. Qin, who was still aloof before, didn't know what happened. She looked much older, and the white hair on her head was also very obvious.
When she saw Su Mansion's carriage and Su Mingshan sitting behind the curtain of the carriage, she said, "Mingshan, I have something to tell you."
Su Mingshan thought that she had nothing to do with Qin Muyang and had nothing to say to Mrs. Qin, so she directly lowered the car curtain and pretended that she didn't see anyone and didn't hear what Mrs. Qin said.
