There are very, very, very few people like Tao Zhu. Just take a look and appreciate it, but don't have similar fantasies in your mind.
He has to plan for himself.
Only children will not betray him, alas... He and Li Dazhong will work harder in the future.
Li Liang and Wang Guihua hesitated for a few days and finally came to find Li Qiao.
The couple came in the evening, when Li Qiao and Tao Zhu had dinner and were preparing to go back to the backyard.
When the couple came, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu stayed in the front yard and sat in the yard talking to them.
Li Liang rubbed his hands and looked hesitant, as if he didn't know what to say.
Seeing this, Wang Guihua said directly to Li Qiao: "That's right. Actually, another reason why you guys are concerned about Brother Zhu's belly is that you are afraid that you husband and wife will run away and that you will not be able to reach you in the future."
"?"
Li Qiao opened his eyes wide.
Tao Zhu also frowned slightly, worried that the couple would run away?
"If your exam goes well, you will go to the capital soon..." Wang Guihua sighed and began to explain in detail.
Those who were close to her in the eight villages within ten miles did not dare to talk to Li Qiao Taozhu about this matter, so they approached her.
To be honest, the first time she heard such remarks, she only found it funny.
However, after listening to it more often, she knew that the villagers were really worried and were not joking.
Since the folks are truly worried, she must respond seriously, but her words are not as effective as Li Qiao's.
So, after a few days of hesitation, she came with Li Liang.
After hearing this series of explanations, Li Qiao felt dumbfounded: "Even if Brother Zhu and I go to other places, Sanliu Village has my home, my relatives, and my fields. These are my roots."
"How could I forget my roots."
"No, this is simply the folks overthinking it."
Wang Guihua sighed.
Judging from Li Qiao's daily performance, there is no need to worry about this.
Besides, Li Qiao has given enough to the villagers. Even if Li Qiao doesn't give anything more to everyone in the future, no one can fault him at all.
"It's just such a thing. Just listen to it and let it go. Don't take it to heart. You will study hard next. If the Holy Spirit wants to promote you, then you will have to be very heavy, your belly will be full of goods, and you will have to endure it. You can withstand his promotion."
she warned.
Li Qiao was amused by Wang Guihua's words: "Okay, I'll listen to my sister-in-law."
As for the concerns of the villagers, forget it, people will see the light of day.
He can currently focus on studying.
As Wang Guihua said, he must be able to withstand the saint's promotion, he must be able to weigh the scales, and he cannot be a parallel import.
Now he has almost finished memorizing the "Book of Han". Once he has finished memorizing the "Book of Han", he will have finished memorizing all the three histories and three biographies.
Although the academy examination also tests three histories and three biographies, it will not be too remote or in-depth. After all, it is only an examination for scholars.
Therefore, his current basic skills are enough to cope with this college examination.
But in order to be sure, he still had to consolidate his case. Last time, his case leader was opportunistic and could not really convince the public.
This time, he must be upright.

Chapter 89 College Examination Questions Come to Hell Again
When Li Qiao, Tao Zhu, Li Ershan, Li Xia, and Huang Youming and their sons rode in an ox cart and headed to Fucheng with the Xu family's carriage, half of the official road between Pingcheng and Fucheng had been built.
On the Pingcheng side, Magistrate Jiang raised more than 40,000 taels of silver, and on the other side of Fucheng, Magistrate Ming raised 120,000 taels of silver.
There are many more wealthy people in Fucheng than in Pingcheng. Mingzhifu first talked to the big businessmen who had made a lot of money from vermicelli in the past two years, and then called some ordinary wealthy businessmen to talk about the benefits of building this road.
Moreover, he himself donated three thousand taels of silver.
Under this circumstance, merchants of all sizes actively donated money and soon collected 120,000 taels of silver.
With the money, construction of this road started immediately, starting from Pingcheng side.
Jiangzhi County issued a recruitment notice, and villagers from the villages along the way, as well as people from other places in Pingcheng, went to work as road construction workers. Although the wages were not high, it was better than nothing.
There is strength in numbers. When Li Qiao Taozhu set out for Fucheng, half of the road was already built.
The flat adobe brick road is five meters wide and paved with two layers of bricks, which is a foot thick. The ox cart can walk on it smoothly and quickly.
The last time I went to Fucheng, there were a lot of potholes on the official roads, and the wheels of the ox cart were made of wooden wheels and were not shockproof, so riding on the ox cart was bumpy and slow.
But this time, I could read books while sitting on the bullock cart.
The Li Qiao family's ox cart has been upgraded compared to the last time they went to Fucheng. The oxen are no longer pulling a cart, but a horse-drawn carriage.
This kind of carriage is not afraid of wind and rain and is more suitable for long-distance travel than a flatbed carriage.
Usually Tao Zhu drives the carriage, while Li Qiao stays in the carriage reading.
Li Qiao was not just cramming, he was seizing every moment to consolidate basic knowledge.
After passing the imperial examination last year, Xu Ying stayed in Fucheng for two months and then went to Pingcheng to study.
This time he returned to Fucheng to take the exam, and Shen Hua came with him as always.
However, Shen Hua didn't stick to Xu Ying all the time like last time, because this time Bai You was also there.
Baiyou has never been to Fucheng since she broke off the relationship with her late husband's family. This time she came to Fucheng, on the one hand, to escape the troubles of Li Dazhong and her two children, and on the other hand, to accompany Shen Hua.
Shen Hua didn't see anything strange when he was in front of Xu Ying, but when he was in front of him, he was always listless and depressed. After being miserable for almost a year, the baby fat on Shen Hua's face was gone.
Baiyou felt distressed and helpless when Shen Hua looked like this.
He had suffered a lot from his late husband's family and knew what he wanted. In addition, he was forced by his family to leave the Bai family, so he hastily settled on Li Dazhong.
His decision at that time actually involved an element of gambling.
Now it seems that he won the bet.
But he didn't dare let Shen Hua gamble.
Shen Hua likes handsome scholars like Xu Ying, but many scholars are scumbags. Not to mention that he can't find a better scholar than Xu Ying for the time being. Even if he finds one, will Shen Hua dare to entrust him with him for the rest of his life?
well.
The adobe brick road is very convenient for traveling, and one can cover the same distance as one day in half a day.
But the adobe brick road was only half-built, so Li Qiao and his party soon embarked on the bumpy dirt road again.
It was impossible to read on this road, so Li Qiao got out of the carriage and leaned against Tao Zhu to drive the cattle cart.
There are mostly fields on both sides of the official road. During this season, farmers are busy watering wheat, and many people are planting soybeans, corn and other miscellaneous grains.
However, very few grow corn, soybeans and other cereals.
At present, what farmers in Hexi Province grow most are sweet potatoes.
Tao Zhu looked at the sweet potato seedlings that had just been planted in the field, and his face could not help but show pride.
This is the change brought about by his man.
Li Ershan is sixteen years old this year, and Li Xia is fifteen years old this year. It is the first time for both of them to leave Pingcheng.
Obviously, the farmland and working scenes on both sides of the official road were the same as those in Sanliu Village, but the two of them were still very excited, sitting on the carriage shaft and looking around non-stop.
Two days later, the group arrived in Fucheng.
Li Qiao had already asked the Xu family to rent the courtyard where they lived last time. Therefore, after entering the city, they went directly to the courtyard where they lived last time.
Baiyou did not buy a house in Fucheng. He and Li Dazhong lived in an inn. However, this time he was going to stay in Fucheng for many days and he planned to buy a small yard.
Shen Hua and Meng Yue lived in the Xu family as last time.
After settling in the small courtyard, Li Qiao studied hard every day just like last time. Tao Zhu took Li Ershan and Li Xia to cook, wash and take care of his food, clothing and daily life.
Huang Youming and his son, one is waiting to answer his questions anytime and anywhere, and the other is responsible for taking care of the bullock cart.
The college examination is held twice every three years, instead of once a year like the county and prefecture examinations. Therefore, the number of people participating in the college examination far exceeds that of the prefectural exam.
Now Li Qiao is a famous person, and he lives in the same courtyard where he lived last year. Therefore, from the second day he moved in, many people came to visit him every day.
As a last resort, he could only put up a small wooden sign saying he would not accept customers.
After hanging up the small wooden sign, he became a lot cleaner. Now he has no time to socialize. He just wants to study.
The college examination is divided into a main examination and a re-examination. The main examination takes one day and the re-examination takes two days. Only after passing the main examination can you take the re-examination.
In Li Qiao's view, this was purely to save trouble.
In the past, when taking the county and prefectural examinations, the examiner would verify the identity of the candidates before each day's examination. The county examination was okay, there were not many people, and the delay would not be long.
But there were many people in the government examination, and by the time the verification was over, the sun was already high.
There are more people taking the college exam than the government exam. Now that we can use the main exam to screen a larger number of people, we can save a lot of time during the re-examination.
Li Qiao wanted to praise this method, which could improve efficiency a lot.
A few days later, he, Meng Yue and Xu Ying went to the government office to register.
The registration process is the same as that of the government examination. Candidates must present an official certificate issued by the county government as their ID card admission ticket.
The official responsible for registration this time is still the same as last year.
He looked at Li Qiao with expectant eyes.
I don’t know what kind of beautiful article Li Qiao can write this time.
After signing up, Li Qiao continued to study hard.
