As little children, they can participate in such national affairs. These candidates must thank the Holy Father for making an exception and giving them the opportunity.
Although he is the prefect, he cannot go to court because he is not a Beijing official, so he has no way to express his political opinions on this matter.
However, this gift from the Holy Spirit came with a sudden force, and this year's candidates were immediately stunned.
The hundred candidates, including Li Qiao, all frowned. It had been two quarters of an hour since the topic was announced, but no one had written. They were all thinking.
He didn't care much about the other candidates, he only sympathized... ah no, it was envy, envy that other candidates had the opportunity to express their opinions.
But Li Qiao was very concerned.
He really wanted to give Li Qiao the honor of being the head of the case, but he didn't know if Li Qiao could beat the other candidates...
Li Qiao thought about it for half an hour, and then he picked up the pen and wrote down the outline of the article on the paper.
It was a bit difficult to lay out the big frame. He revised it several times. When it was time to fill in the details in the frame, the piece of scrap paper could no longer fit.
He took a new piece of scrap paper, filled in the details, and then began to write a draft.
Although he already had an outline and detailed outline, he was still stumbling on his writing. At a cursory glance, the entire paper was covered with ink balls, and almost every line had traces of alteration.
Halfway through the draft, it’s noon.
He was so hungry that he put down his brush and started to chew on the steamed buns.
He didn't ask for hot water, and after finishing the dry steamed buns without knowing the taste, he picked up his pen and continued writing.
After he finished writing the draft, he took a long breath and looked at the sky. The sun was already setting in the west.
He quickly copied the paper.
By the time he finished copying, it was already dark.
Because there were so few candidates, the process went quickly in the morning. It was probably only around seven o'clock when the yamen announced the questions.
It was now dark, and it had been almost nine hours.
I looked at the other candidates out of the corner of my eye. Everyone was writing furiously, but no one had handed in their papers.
Li Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems he finished it first.
He checked it carefully again to make sure there were no omissions or typos, but he did not get up to hand in the paper.
Today's question is inherently difficult, and the other candidates haven't finished writing it yet. If he hands it in at this time, it will probably upset some people's mentality.
Forget it, he'd better sit quietly and wait for others to hand in their papers before handing them in.
Candles were not provided for the college examination. It was the fourth month of the lunar calendar and it was not too early to get dark. However, it was not until the hall was so dark that I couldn't see the writing on the table when I sat upright. Only then did anyone hand in the paper.
When Li Qiao saw this, he stood up and handed in the paper.
It was already dark now. When they left the examination room, not only Tao Zhu looked anxious, but also the relatives and friends of other candidates.
In this case, is the question that difficult?
Tao Zhu stood at the door of the examination booth, watching Li Qiao flow out with the people, and quickly waved to Li Qiao.
Li Qiao saw Tao Zhu at a glance. Li Qiao also waved his hand and was about to walk towards Tao Zhu, but at this time other candidates couldn't help but stop him.
"Brother Li Xian, stay."
"Brother Li Xian, don't leave yet. Can I tell you the content of the article?"
…
Other candidates were confused and confused by this test question. Call it simple. It does seem quite simple. Either choose the pros outweigh the cons, or choose the cons outweigh the pros, and then just prove your point of view.
But if you really write it like this, it will be too flat, without any new ideas or characteristics. How can you outperform other candidates?
Many candidates in Hexi Prefecture accepted Li Qiao's theory: walk half a step more than other candidates.
But for today's question, how come they can take half a step further than other candidates?
After racking their brains to squeeze out an article, many people were really exhausted at this time, so when they saw Li Qiao coming out of the examination room with them, they couldn't help but stop Li Qiao and wanted to hear Li Qiao's answer.
"Everyone, I am also very troubled by today's article, and I am not completely sure about it, so I'd better wait until the list is released."
Li Qiao also had a sad face and sighed.
"ah???"
"Brother Li Xian, are you not completely sure?"
"How could it be! I see you finished writing it long ago!"
The other candidates were a little surprised and disbelieving when they saw his appearance.
"Writing it early doesn't mean anything. If I was really confident, how could I not submit it in advance?"
Li Qiao continued to smile bitterly.
Other candidates: "..."
right.
Li Qiao had always submitted papers in advance before, but this time he finished writing but still didn't hand it in. This shows that he was unsure.
Li Qiao has no idea, so what's the case this time...
"Everyone, I'll take my leave now. I'm going out to buy gifts for my relatives and friends tomorrow. I won't be hosting guests for the next few days."
Li Qiao had no time to care about what other people thought. He motioned to the candidates standing in front of him to get out of the way and walked towards Tao Zhu.
Tao Zhu stood with Baiyou Li Dazhong and Shen Hua. Li Qiao greeted them and took Tao Zhu away.
Li Ershan, Li Xia, Huang Youming and his son quickly followed.
After returning home and closing the door, Li Qiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. This long day was finally over.
He only said "try your best", and Tao Zhu and others stopped asking about exam-related matters. After dinner, he and Tao Zhu went back to the backyard to sleep.
I slept soundly, and when I woke up, it was already bright.
After a leisurely breakfast, the six of them went shopping.
If you say you want to buy gifts today, you are really doing a big shopping trip.
Since arriving in Fucheng, Tao Zhuli Ershan, Li Xia, Huang Youming and his son have not gone out for shopping. These five people are all serving Li Qiao.
Now that the exam is over, Li Qiao wants to take them out to relax.
When it comes to entertaining guests and socializing, later on, his relatives and friends will be more important.
Before coming to Fucheng, Zheng Qianqian gave birth to a fat boy, so this time it was Li Ershan and Li Xia who came with her.
As soon as the child is born, Li Qiao will become a grandfather.
This fat kid must be called Uncle Li Qiao.
Therefore, the first thing Li Qiao bought this time was the longevity lock.
Tao Zhu felt that Zheng Qianqian had a hard time giving birth, so he bought Zheng Qianqian jewelry again, this time a pair of gold bracelets.
In addition to Zheng Qianqian and Fat Baby, Li Chuntao will get married this year if there is no accident, so this wedding gift must be prepared.
Tao Zhu bought Li Chuntao a set of silver-tipped noodles, three hundred taels.
It was really hard for Li Ershan and Li Xia to accompany them to Fucheng. Li Ershan was sixteen years old, and there were many people who told him they were close.
Li Xia was fifteen years old, and there was an endless stream of matchmakers coming to visit.
Li Qiao and Tao Zhu bought suitable gifts for each of them.
The rest of the people also had gifts. It was a rare visit to Fucheng and their income was good this year, so Li Qiao and Tao Zhu were both very generous.
But as a celebrity, Li Qiao cannot avoid socializing. In the next few days, he received waves of people.
But regarding this article, just like the last government examination, no matter what others asked, he didn't answer a word.
He only told Tao Zhu.
The question this time was really too difficult, and he refused to answer it, so some candidates raised their hopes, guessing that his article might be mediocre, and that he might not be able to win the case.
Finally the day has come for the rankings to be released.
Li Qiao and Tao Zhu had a leisurely breakfast and then walked to the examination shed.
When they arrived, there were many people outside the examination room.
Although there were only a hundred candidates taking the re-examination, some candidates who were dismissed from the main examination did not leave the city. These people wanted to see if Li Qiao could get the case this time and take a look at Li Qiao's article.
Therefore, there are still huge crowds of people outside the examination room today and it is very lively.
Li Qiao arrived outside the examination booth and was surrounded by people again. Although he knew that Li Qiao still would not reveal anything, even if Li Qiao was not the head of the case this time, he would definitely be able to pass the examination as a scholar.
It's always right to have a relationship with Li Qiao.
Li Qiao was smiling brightly. As the focus of the crowd, there was no arrogance on his face and he was always gentle and polite.
Soon, a government official came over.
The process is the same as the county examination office's test results release. After the gongs, drums, and firecrackers were blasted to build up the atmosphere, the government officials then painted the walls with paste and prepared to post the yellow list.
Li Qiao was not as calm as last time. He, Meng Yue and Xu Ying squeezed towards the crowd.
When he squeezed, some candidates' eyes lit up.
He was extremely calm during the last government examination and stood in the corner without moving when the results were released.
But this time he moved, so his article this time was really not that good?
Is it really possible that the case this time does not belong to him?
Emma, I just love to see some slaps in the face!
Previously, everyone was sure that he was the head of this year's case, and everyone thought that the title of Xiao Sanyuan would fall into his arms. But who knew that the divine power would lead to such a difficult test question!
Who said the Holy Spirit promoted him?
If you really praise him, how could such an exam question come up!
You have to take a good look at his face later. He failed to be chosen as the leader of the case in the spotlight. Most people really don't have this experience, hehe.
Just when these people were about to be unable to hide their gloating, the candidates standing at the front of the crowd saw the test papers on the tray, and screams suddenly broke out from their mouths.
