No wonder Li Qiao could be bewitched like this, holding hands at the door of the examination room.
I hope the Li Dazhong he chooses this time is a good man.
Li Qiao took Tao Zhu and hurried home. After he returned home, he checked the answers with Huang Youming and Zhuang Wen, and then he was completely liberated.
After working hard for so long, he could relax a little for a few days.
Zhuang Wen and Huang Youming were amazed and admired Li Qiao's policy article. They were really ashamed that Li Qiao could write such a complete article at his age.
It’s really hard to live a good life at such a young age. No wonder I didn’t get admitted as a scholar so late!
Li Qiao was relieved when he received Zhuang Wen and Huang Youming's approval. Judging from the reactions of these two people, his article did not cross the line.
He felt relieved and returned to Sanliu Village early the next morning.
The exam results will be announced in fifteen days, and he can relax for fifteen days.
When he returned to the village, he naturally became the center of attention. Every time he met a villager, he would be asked how he did in the exam.
He had only one answer: Do your best and leave the rest to God.
After hearing this answer, the villagers prayed to God to bless him. Li Qiao is the hope of the whole village, so he must live it!
Back home, the days have passed.
Li Qiao didn't need to study, so he wanted to work. Li Dashan, Li Shu and Li Chuntao were all making snacks, so he went into the kitchen to help.
But these people were unwilling to let him take a good rest.
Tao Zhu also had the same attitude. He fed him soup, fish and meat all day long, but Li Qiao never gained any weight, and even lost a little weight in the past few days.
This shows that Li Qiao has been consuming his energy.
Now that the exam is finally over, I must take a good rest and make up for the losses.
Li Qiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Tao Zhu's remarks. He had always maintained a good weight and had not lost weight.
But Tao Zhu had to say he had lost weight, so let’s lose weight.
But it is impossible to truly rest.
There are a lot of things going on at home.
Previously, he used the county examination as an excuse to refuse all invitations from others. Now that the county examination is over, he has to prepare a return gift.
Moreover, he also wants to buy land.
Now his family only has a few dozen acres of land, which is too little. His goal is to become a landlord. He has to buy another 200 acres to become a landlord.
Of course, there is also white pomelo.
He doesn't want Li Dazhong to have trouble with his marriage again.
Therefore, the day before Baiyou came as a guest, Li Qiao asked Tao Zhu about his impression of Baiyou while looking at the various gifts sent by others in the warehouse.
Tao Zhu was holding a piece of silk and looking at it. Hearing this, he replied: "He is a kind person and doesn't like to talk much."
He patted the silk cloth in his arms and said, "It feels very soft. How about I make you a robe?"
"Didn't you already make two sets of new clothes?" Li Qiao didn't want him to be tired.
"Two sets are too few. Why can you only wear two sets in rotation when you go out to meet guests? At least ten sets are enough for you."
Tao Zhu has been asking Baiyou about the ostentation of wealthy families in the past few days. Considering their current wealth, ten sets is less than that.
“You can do a few more sets, but let someone else do it.”
Li Qiao put down the booklet in his hand, walked to him and put the materials in his arms back to their original places. Then he raised his hand and touched his eyelids: "It hurts your eyes to do needlework. If your eyes are damaged, it will be bad." You can’t see my face clearly.”
Tao Zhu: "..."
He couldn't help but smile, and swallowed the rebuttal on his lips.
After staring at Li Qiao's face for a few seconds, he stood up on tiptoes and kissed his cheek. He couldn't see clearly such a beautiful face.
He has to watch it every day and all the time.
When Li Qiao saw this, he naturally kissed her back. The two of them kissed, then held hands and returned to the backyard. The skin hunger syndrome I suffered from during the exam days has not healed yet.
In the past, when the two of them wanted to go back to the house to do something, they would find an excuse. Only Li Dashan was there at that time, and Li Dashan couldn't understand what they said about not having three hundred taels of silver here.
But now that there is Li Shu who can understand, they don't want to make excuses at all.
Anyway, everyone knows that the two of them have a good relationship. They often hold hands during the day. Now they are relaxing after the exam, which makes perfect sense.
The next day, Baiyou and Shen Hua came.
Li Qiao called Li Dazhong over.
Li Dazhong was obviously uncomfortable in front of Baiyou. He scratched his hair and rubbed his hands, but did not dare to look at Baiyou.
As a country man, he didn't know what to do when faced with a spoiled man like Baiyou who was raised by an official family, except to obey Baiyou's instructions.
Baiyou kept laughing, and seemed to have a soft temper. He visited Li Qiao's house and praised the big yard he entered.
He asked Tao Zhu how much money it would cost to build this courtyard, and he wanted to build such a courtyard.
Li Dazhong stood aside and said nothing. His family was poor and he planned to use all the money in his family as a betrothal gift, so he really didn't have the money for this house.
Since Baiyou produces money, it is natural for Baiyou to build whatever he likes.
After Baiyou and Shen Hua came to visit, Li Qiao took Tao Zhu to the Bai family and Shen family. While he was busy socializing, on the other side, Jiang Zhixian's heart finally fell back into his stomach.
The papers for the county examination were all reviewed by the county magistrate alone. However, even for the county examination, all papers were copied by a dedicated person, so he could not see Li Qiao's handwriting that was featureless and had no merit.
However, he could see Li Qiao's writing style.
This is really easy to recognize. Besides Li Qiao, who else can write an article that can help the local government make money?
*
The author has something to say:
The imperial examination process in this world was made up by me, and it doesn’t match the official history. You guys, just watch it for fun, don’t take it too seriously~
Chapter 75 Release the list, the head of the case. That’s awesome, Lord Magistrate.
After reading Li Qiao's article, Jiang Zhixian felt a little admiration in his heart.
The place mentioned in the title is close to the sea and has a completely different topography than that of Pingcheng. However, Li Qiao, a peasant student who has never left Pingcheng, only relied on the knowledge accumulated from the holy essays and reading miscellaneous books on weekdays. He actually gave some tips on how to make money.
The Holy Spirit's essay mentioned that there are many mountains in the area and little arable land. The people who only rely on farming cannot have enough to eat. The people have to fish, shrimp, kelp, etc. from the sea for food.
So, Li Qiao wrote that the kelp could be processed and made into spicy kelp and sold to the rich.
Although the local people are poor, there must be rich people there.
As long as the spicy kelp is delicious enough, rich people will definitely pay for it.
In this way, the local government can get a small amount of money.
In addition to spicy kelp, he can also make spicy small fish, grilled fish, fish hot pot, fish tofu, seaweed and meat floss rolls, etc. In short, he can get money for the local government.
With money, ideas can be opened up. All aspects before, during and after the war can be arranged perfectly as long as you have money.
However, suppressing bandits is not just talk on paper, it requires real swords and guns to kill people, so Li Qiao also wrote a little bit about military training.
It is very simple to ask soldiers to run with heavy loads to practice endurance and physical strength, formulate reward and punishment measures, and increase pensions on weekdays.
But it was enough to throw off other candidates.
This article did not write about how to make the local people rich, but only about how to get money for the local government so that the local government could have food, weapons and soldiers.
that's enough.
Very relevant.
Jiang Zhixian stroked his beard and stared at Li Qiao's article. The more he read, the more satisfied he became.
Although he has not tasted the foods mentioned in Li Qiao's article, since Li Qiao has written like this, he can definitely make it.
When it came to eating, he didn't have the slightest doubt about Li Qiao.
If he had encountered such a question when he was twenty years old, his answer would definitely not be as good as Li Qiao's answer.
Looking at Li Qiao's other test papers, Mo Yi and Tie Jing both answered correctly, which shows that they have worked hard.
As for poetry, although it only has craftsmanship and no aura, it is still up to the average level of the candidates.
Jiang Zhixian had confidence in his heart.
Speaking of Li Qiao, after going to Bai's house, he became less defensive about Bai You.
When Bai Jiaoyu mentioned Baiyou, his words were full of poor discipline and unfortunate family background. Bai Jiaoyu felt that even if Baiyou's ex-husband died, Baiyou should stay at his ex-husband's house and be a widower instead of running back to her parents' home. A family that is noisy every day has no peace.
Listening to this tone, Li Qiao felt a little more sympathetic to Baiyou.
Baiyou didn't satisfy her husband's family. How could this be all Baiyou's fault?
Even if it's all Baiyou's fault, then Baiyou can't remarry?
Baiyou is only twenty-three years old this year, only one year older than Tao Zhu. At this age, he had just graduated from college in his previous life.
It's cruel to have to be a widow for the rest of your life just after graduating from college.
Moreover, these are the words of my biological father!
No wonder Baiyou wanted to marry Li Dazhong after just a quick inquiry. This home was so suffocating that if it were him, he wouldn't be able to stay there for a day.
However, as Bai Jiaoyu is the teacher of the county school, he is equivalent to the director of the Education Bureau of Pingcheng. Li Qiao thinks that he will definitely be able to study in the county school in the future. Therefore, although he does not agree with Bai Jiaoyu's view, Li Qiao does not There was no rebuttal, just a smile and a change of subject.
After returning to the village, he did not go out to look for Li Dazhong. When Li Dazhong came to his house with the masons to look at the house, he mentioned a few words about Bai Jiaoyu's attitude towards Baiyou.
Li Dazhong felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.
When Baiyou cried to him, he only said in general that he and the Bai family didn't get along. At this time, Li Qiao knew from Li Qiao what kind of disagreement between Baiyou and the Bai family, and he couldn't help but feel a little more sorry for Baiyou.
Looking at Jiaojiao, who looked like she was born in a blessed nest, did she end up suffering so many grievances in the Bai family and her late husband's family?
These few times when I got along with him, Baiyou always smiled. Under that smiling face, there were countless tears hidden...
In addition to visiting the Bai family and the Shen family, Li Qiao also invited the county magistrate, county lieutenant, and other officials and ministers to have a drink at Wangyue Tower.
