The big hand moved from Tao Zhu's waist to Tao Zhu's face: "Brother Dashan Qian's marriage is ahead of schedule, which is good."
Li Dashan has been chasing him for two years, which is not a short period of time.
But how did he fall in love with Tao Zhu?
Recalling the moment when he opened his eyes during time travel, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss Tao Zhu's lips. When he opened his eyes, the whole world was bright and the world was bright.
Then Tao Zhu appeared.
He would remember that scene until his death.
Feeling Li Qiao's tenderness, Tao Zhu wrapped his hands and feet around him and responded to him enthusiastically.
In fact, after Shen Hua left today, he had been thinking about what to do in Shen Hua's situation, but now that he thought about it, two words came to his mind:
No solution.
A young master like Xu Ying who lacks everything is so difficult to deal with.
He had never liked Li Qiao mentioning the fact that he gave them two cornbread, but now he was glad that there was such a thing.
It's great that Li Qiao likes him so much.
Li Qiao studied hard during the day and mixed oil with Tao Zhumi at night. Her days were busy and fulfilling.
The day of the government examination soon arrived.
The process of the prefectural examination is the same as that of the county examination. The difference is that the county examination takes five days, while the prefectural examination only takes three days.
On the ninth day of April, Tao Zhu got up early to make breakfast.
Breakfast is still light, steamed buns, steamed buns, porridge, and fried vegetables.
After breakfast, Li Qiao and the other six went to the examination shed.
It's not completely dawn yet, but it's April now, and it's dawning early. When Li Qiao and six other people arrived, a lot of people gathered in front of the examination booth.
All candidates from several counties in Hexi Prefecture were present. The battle in front of them was much larger than during the county examination. At a glance, they were all filled with dead heads.
There was also a buzzing sound of voices.
Li Qiao turned around and looked around, trying to find Meng Yue and Xu Ying.
Just like the process of the county examination, the three of them will have to certify each other when the time comes.
Meng Yue and Xu Ying have already arrived. This time Xu Ying is on his own territory. Not only Shen Hua is accompanying the exam, but the entire Xu family is here.
The hopes of four generations of the Xu family rested on him, and they had high expectations for him.
Li Qiao looked at the group of people surrounding Xu Ying and couldn't help but clicked his tongue. Brother Xu was also under a lot of pressure.
Li Qiao didn't want to step forward, so he stood not far away and waved to Xu Ying.
At this time, Meng Yue came over. Meng Yue was used to seeing the Xu family's attention to Xu Ying these days, and her expression was as usual.
When he came to Li Qiao's side, he reached out and patted Li Qiao's shoulder: "Brother Li, take the exam well. I heard someone talking about you just now, saying that you are the strong enemy of all candidates and that you will make others dim." .”
"They are waiting to see what kind of article you write this time."
"..."
Li Qiao was speechless.
At this moment, a not too loud voice came from not far away, but because Li Qiao was mentioned, Li Qiao couldn't help but look over.
Five meters away from him, two scholars were talking against the wall. The taller one said: "Brother Zhang, I have thought about it for several days. Li Qiao's article is indeed complete without any omissions. His case The leader can convince the public. I don’t know what his article will be like this time. If the prefect appoints him as the leader of the case, he should also post his article."
The man called Brother Zhang nodded: "I just don't know if he can write an article as good as the county exam this time."
"I hope he can write it. My husband has already regarded his article as a model essay. I hope he can write another model essay."
"Hey, don't tell me. After reading his article, I feel that if I encounter a similar topic again, I will definitely make great progress."
"I also got a lot of inspiration from his article. If I encounter similar questions again, I will definitely make a lot of progress."
The first scholar who spoke also smiled and said with full confidence.
"I just don't know what Li Qiao looks like. I heard that he is very outstanding."
The scholar known as Brother Zhang turned his head to see if there was anyone good-looking nearby, maybe it was Li Qiao.
Li Qiao: "..."
He quickly turned his head and started digging his toes into the ground.
Take his article as a model?
Thank you, it gave him another pressure!
Also, Meng Yue said that some candidates were unconvinced. He hadn't even written the policy essay this time and was waiting for trial.
I don’t know if this time the Holy One is connecting to the earth or hell. The Holy One’s heart is like a needle under the sea.
Soon, the government officials came to maintain order, asking the idle people to step back, and letting the candidates line up to wait for a body search to enter the examination room.
Li Qiao asked Tao Zhu to go back just like he did in the county examination: "If you stay outside, I will be distracted and wonder if you miss me as much as you did last time and make me shed tears."
"You can talk about it after you go in."
Tao Zhu did not respond.
He didn't know how he would feel later, but he didn't want to leave now anyway.
Seeing this, Li Qiao could only sigh: "Okay, okay, you can do whatever you want, but pay attention to safety and don't run around."
"Don't worry, I won't wander around." Tao Zhu promised very firmly this time that he would not do anything to distract this person.
So, Li Qiao grabbed his hand and shook it, and then went to line up.
This scene happened to be seen by Shen Hua, who immediately looked envious. Li Qiao was like this in Pingcheng, and it was the same in Fucheng.
When can he have the sweet love of his cousin...
The examination booth in Fuya is much larger than that in Pingcheng, but the overall layout is similar. There are simple tables and chairs in the north hall, and all candidates sit in the hall to answer questions.
The examiner was the prefect of Hexi Prefecture, his surname was Ming. Li Qiao stood in the crowd, looked at the prefect carefully, and then, like other candidates, quietly waited for the prefect to check the official documents.
There were many candidates, so this process was extremely long. The prefect watched carefully and did not rush through the process just because of the large number of people.
When talking about Li Qiao, he looked even more carefully. Is this Li Qiao?
The candidates behind Li Qiao couldn't help but look at him. Is this Li Qiao from Pingcheng who was awarded by the Holy Emperor for writing extremely good articles?
Li Qiao looked at him calmly despite the different gazes from the front and back. After the magistrate finished checking, he grabbed the paper and carried the examination basket and went to find his seat.
His seat number this time was No. 178, which was fairly close to the front.
However, there were too many candidates lined up behind him, and by the time the verification was completed, the sun had already risen high.
Just like the county examination, the questions are not printed on the test paper, but the yamen servants hold the board over and let the candidates copy it by themselves.
Today's session is called the main session, and the test is still very comprehensive, and the questions involve not only the Four Books and Five Classics, but also a little bit of "Historical Records".
But this is not a problem for Li Qiao.
He memorized the Four Books and Five Classics very well. Although he didn't memorize all of "Historical Records", he basically memorized the key points.
He writes extremely quickly, as if he is inspired by his spirit.
But when it came to poetry, he began to feel worse than death.
When it came to strategy, he returned to his previous writing style.
Like the county examination, the policy questions on the first day did not involve the Holy Spirit's short essay. Instead, candidates were asked to write essays based on the four books.
After Li Qiao finished writing, he checked it carefully from beginning to end. After confirming that there were no mistakes or omissions, he stood up and handed in the paper.
In the first county examination, he was still a little cautious. He only submitted it after others had submitted it.
But this time, since you are already the center of attention, you can do whatever you want. With his head on someone else's neck, he can't control what others think.
The mouth is on other people's heads, and he can't control what others say.
Just try his best.
He took the test paper and the test basket and walked towards the prefect.
The rules of the prefecture examination are the same as those of the county examination. The prefect cannot move around in the hall and can only sit at the top.
There are ten halls in total. The prefect is not in the hall where Li Qiao is, so he doesn't know how Li Qiao answered the questions.
At this time, he was a little surprised to see that Li Qiao was the first to hand in the paper. The young man was so confident?
Aren't you afraid of being slapped in the face?
Now it's not just the candidates this time who are paying attention to Li Qiao, he, as the prefect, is also paying attention.
After Li Qiao came to Fucheng, he kept a low profile. He didn't go to parties or make friends. He closed the door and concentrated on studying.
However, now that vermicelli has swept the entire Hexi Prefecture, farmers in remote areas don't know about Li Qiao, but all the scholars who took part in the imperial examinations in the past few years know about him.
When Magistrate Jiang posted Li Qiao's article that day, it was immediately copied by interested people. There were many people outside Pingcheng, so Li Qiao's article spread.
He also read the article. It was well written. Although it was not shocking, he thought of all aspects. As a twenty-year-old young man who had never been out of Pingcheng, writing like this could indeed lead to a criminal case.
However, in the case of Pingcheng, this honor did not convince candidates from other counties.
Candidates from other counties are waiting to see what article Li Qiao can write this time.
In this case, Li Qiao should keep a low profile and be cautious in his words and deeds. In this case, even if he cannot write a good article two days later, other candidates will not be too ridiculed.
But who knew Li Qiao would be the first to submit the paper this time?
Ming Zhifu suppressed his surprise and curiosity, and just cast a faint glance at Li Qiao's test paper. When he saw that it was densely written with words, he turned his eyes.
If he endures it for a few more days, he will know whether Li Qiao can write a model essay this time.
The second day soon came, and today I tested the meaning of Mo, scriptures, and poems.
Because policy theory is not tested, the difficulty of these three items has increased. However, Li Qiao is the same as yesterday, Mo Yi and Tie Jing are flying, and poetry is worse than death.
On the second day, he was still the first to hand in the paper.
On the third day, the highlight came.
Today I will only test policy theory.
