Chapter 159

Master Liang had a lot of friends in the county, and he knew for a long time that the county magistrate admired Li Xiuping very much and praised him more than once in public.

Such a young man has an absolutely unlimited future. He can already be an official reserve and will definitely not stop at the seventh-rank magistrate.

And Liang Junjie may not be able to pass the exam after three years, and his ranking is so good.

At that time, I'm afraid that their Liang family will not be worthy of a girl from the Li family.

So when Mrs. Liang mentioned the marriage of her youngest son, she vaguely expressed that she was acquainted with Li Juren's mother, and that their family had a young lady who was waiting to be married.

Master Liang slapped his thigh and laughed loudly at Mrs. Liang: "This is a good opportunity, a good opportunity."

Only by making friends with the Li family at this time can we really climb up the friendship. In the future, the Li family's threshold and their old Liang family may not be able to step in.

If he can get engaged to Li Juren's sister at this time, and if Junjie can win the exam three years later, it will be helpful for him to go to the capital to take part in the examination at that time.

Mrs. Liang also met Li Xiaomei, and praised the little lady more than once in front of Master Liang, so Master Liang wanted to make this marriage even more.

After Mr. Liang and Mrs. Liang discussed it properly, without delay, they invited a well-known matchmaker in the county to Li's house to propose marriage the next day.

It was the first time that the Li family was so lively since they moved to the county;

In the words of their family Saburo, what is it called, there are so many people in the market?

Yes, that's how they are scholars. They like to say four words and four words.

But now the younger ones in the family would also say the same, and Shi felt that it was really nice to speak like this.

Even if the neighbors have been invited to dinner, people keep coming to the door, as if they have a lot of friendship with them.

It's not that Shi Shi really doesn't like this, so save face, but he always remembers Sanlang's words in his heart.

If someone comes to your door with a gift, you must never accept it. Sometimes Shi Shi feels extremely heartbroken when he rejects others' gold, silver and jewelry.

Gradually, showing off in front of people could no longer make up for the pain in her heart, and she simply refused as soon as the door was closed because she couldn't see it. People often came to the door.

And during this time, Li Xiuping has been studying hard behind closed doors, and before returning from the provincial capital, he made a special trip to visit the academic officer.

The husband told him not to be blindly immersed in joy even if he won the exam, but to prepare for the coming spring.

Zhongju is just a big step in his long life journey, and there is still more to go in the future, Li Xiuping is deeply convinced.

The national examination is no better than the provincial examination. You have to understand that Yuan Na is in the past tense, and he should not be complacent.

The candidates who can enter Beijing to take the general examination are definitely not comparable to the ordinary candidates who took the provincial examination. The articles written by those people are not bad.

Moreover, in such matters as exams, luck is very important, and the examiners' favorite styles are different, and the candidates who take the exam are good at different writing styles.

It is very important to be favored by the chief examiner to see all the flowers in each eye.

So he told his family in this way: "Next year's exam will be more important and more difficult than this time. I will face Juren from all over the country, so I may not have an advantage by then."

Shi Shi waved his hand, and told his son imposingly: "It doesn't matter, anyway, Qingqing will definitely accompany you to go there, and your luck will not be bad with her."

The others also nodded, even old man Li, who has always been prudent, agreed with his wife's words.

"Sanlang, don't worry so much, everything will be fine with your wife following you."

Immediately, Li Xiuping was under a lot of pressure. If he didn't do well in the exam, wouldn't it hurt his wife's reputation?
But this is actually just the attitude when facing his son. Li old man Shi behaved like this in front of Saburo, creating a good study environment for him.

In private, including others, they surrounded Fang Qingqing and asked her many questions.

After all, in the eyes of the old Li family, the third daughter-in-law is now the most knowledgeable and knowledgeable one in their old Li family besides Saburo.

"Why do you have to take the exam in the coming spring? Saburo also said that you will leave after the new year. Why can't you rest at home more?"

"This is stipulated by the imperial court. After winning the exam, you have to take the next year's general examination, which is scheduled for the spring of the next year. Brother Sanlang said that it is too far to go to Beijing and you have to make arrangements in advance, so you can only go after the new year."

"Then if the one who knows how to pass the exam again, will Saburo be able to become an official?"

"Those who pass the examination are called Gongshi."

"That's not right, Third Aunt, how did I hear that one step forward is a Jinshi?"

"After the general examination, there will be a palace examination. Only those who pass the examination will be admitted as Jinshi."

Then Fang Qingqing told everyone that the palace examination was presided over by the emperor himself.

Everyone was frightened, that is to say, if San Lang passed the exam, then he could see the emperor?
My dear, what kind of scene is that, no one can imagine.

Originally, Fang Qingqing wanted to explain that it is not possible to have an audience with the emperor alone after taking part in the palace examination——

Forget it, there's no need to explain it so clearly, just let them know that even if Li Xiuping can become a high-ranking official in the future, the glory and wealth will not fall from the sky.

He has also paid a lot for this, let the family know how grateful, that's fine.

The life of Li's family here is not hurried, and they will welcome a talented son-in-law soon, although they don't know it yet.

In Hongqiao Village, it has been lively for a while because of Li Sanlang's matter.

Originally, the Li clan discussed with the village chief and wanted to count a flag of fame and fame for him at the entrance of the village, but Li Sanlang personally refused.

Li Sanlang bowed to the patriarch, but said: "The boy will go to Beijing next year to take the exam, not only what the future is, but for the specifics, please wait for the patriarch."

The patriarch is also optimistic about him, knowing that Li Sanlang's will not stop here, so he is patient.

Lao Li's family has moved to the county seat, but the old Fang's family is still there, they are relatives-in-law.

So many people took the opportunity to go to Fang's house to find out the truth, even though Li Sanlang said early in the morning that he would never accept the gift, he was concentrating on studying behind closed doors during this time, and he will go to Beijing to catch the exam next year.

It was true that some people went to Li's house to give gifts, but they were all rejected by Shi Shi.

The people in the village were all surprised. Could it be that Shi's sex has changed?

She has always been well-known in the village for being stingy and stingy, and some people say that maybe she thinks that she will be an official wife in the future and learn to put on airs?
In any case, the people of Lao Li's family have all moved to the county seat now, and they can't easily get in touch with them on weekdays.

Next, let's see what the Fang family will do.

This old Fang's family, the old Fang's family has not been peaceful recently.

Originally, old man Fang Liu and his sons felt ashamed because of marrying Yaomei to Chongxi. Every time Fang Qingqing returned to her mother's house, she was very kind to her.

Who would have guessed that if Li Sanlang won the election, wouldn't Yaomei also follow suit and become an official wife?
