Chapter 171

Some businessmen are smart and have discovered business opportunities.

Even the innkeeper who stayed for one night with Li Juren's wife cleverly used this incident to attract more guests for their inn.

At this moment, seeing Li Juren bringing his wife to stay, the shopkeeper was very happy, and he could decide to exempt Master Juren's rent without asking the boss for instructions.

Li Xiuping disagreed at the beginning. Taking the imperial examination is not only based on academic knowledge, but the voice of candidates is also very important.

Li Xiuping didn't understand until the shopkeeper explained it, and he couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.

Fang Qingqing felt that the owner of the inn was also a talent, so he knew how to use celebrity aura to advertise so early on?

So Li Xiuping and Qingqing enjoyed the free housekeeping arranged by the shopkeeper with peace of mind, took a comfortable bath, and then the two of them sat in the room together for dinner.

The two chatted while eating, because they talked about going to visit the school officials, so Fang Qingqing asked:

"Brother Sanlang, how many students from your government school won the exam this time?"

"Including me, there are five people in total."

Because there is no communication of news and no comparison, Fang Qingqing doesn't know whether this result is good or bad.

But remember—

"Then I came to borrow the last time, did your classmate Zhou pass the exam this time?"

"Fortunately, although the ranking is relatively low, it has also won."

This is not bad, because I have dealt with Zhou's sister-in-law in the past few days, and I know that the other party is to accompany Xianggong to study and take care of his daily life.

Just left the children at home and lived in the provincial capital for a year.

And Zhou's sister-in-law is a nice person, even if it's only for a few days, Fang Qingqing gets along well with her.

Now that she knows that she finally got what she wanted, she is also happy for Zhou's sister-in-law from the bottom of her heart.

The next day Li Xiuping went to visit the senior officer with a gift, and by coincidence, he ran into Zhou Jianan there.

The two happened to ask the instructor for advice together, and the instructor patiently gave them a lot of advice, and then they left together.

I just said that if I am lucky enough to go to high school in the future, I will definitely come to visit again.

The academic officer was also very happy, he only encouraged and encouraged Zhou Jianan, but he was full of confidence in Li Xiuping.

After the examination, the two separated, and each returned to their hometown, and they also knew that the other had passed the exam through their past husbands.

At that time, Zhou Jian'an thought that if he could meet classmate Li after arriving in the provincial capital, he might as well go to Beijing with him.

He has self-knowledge, this time he can be lucky to be in the end, and it has something to do with Kao Qianli who taught him a lot.

Therefore, I am very grateful to Li Xiuping in my heart.

Ashamedly, Zhou Jianan is more selfish, wondering if he can get guidance from classmate Li again when he is on the same road?

For this, Li Xiuping is happy, and it is also a good opportunity for him to review and exercise himself when someone travels with him along the way to ask for advice on the knowledge of the test site.

Therefore, this time, Zhou Jian'an simply went to stay in the hotel with Li Xiuping, anyway, he went out alone.

Yes, Zhou's sister-in-law didn't come out with him, the capital city was still too far away and she didn't get along with the children for more than a year.

Staying at home, there are still many things to deal with.

The situation of Zhou's family is good, but he is also worried that Zhou Jian'an will go out alone and no one will take care of him. The person who is planning to go to Beijing with him is a school boy.

And this book boy was clever, he just told the young master and his classmates to wait in the inn, and he went out to inquire about the situation.

So the two made up for each other. The Zhou family also had some contacts in the provincial capital, but they got in touch with a reliable caravan.

Li Xiuping happened to be walking with him, and when walking together, he could discuss homework with Zhou Jianan.

In comparison, Li Xiuping and Zhou Jianan have more feelings than Liang Junjie. After all, when they were studying together in the government school, they were roommates.

During lunch, the two met together——

Drinking tea, after all, you have to hurry, so there is no need to drink or something.

Drinking tea is also very good, eating, drinking, chatting and so on, knowing that these two are the shopkeepers of Master Juren, but thoughtfully prepared a box for the four of them.

That's right, four of them, Zhou Jianan's book boy has returned from his mission.

In fact, Zhou's father had already contacted him before. At this moment, the book boy just confirmed with the people in the caravan, and the two parties agreed to officially set off in two days.

From the beginning of talking about the journey to Beijing, and then all kinds of studying in the government, Li Xiuping was fine.

Zhou Jian'an was full of emotion, although what he drank was not wine, his eyes were already red at the moment.

It doesn't mean that one can continue to study after being admitted to the prefectural school. He still has to take the exam every month, and if he fails to pass the exam all the time, he will be embarrassed to continue to study.

The children in the family are growing up slowly, and everything is handled by the parents and mother, but he, a big man, can accomplish nothing.

This time, Zhou Jian'an Qiuwei was actually in the mood of breaking the boat. Originally, he just wanted to give it a try. If he didn't pass the exam, he was planning to return to his hometown to seek an official.

Ahem, he is an official, but if he is just a scholar, he will not be able to get an official position at all.

In terms of utilitarianism, the purpose of studying and taking exams is not to seek fame. If you can only be an official, the more than ten years of effort will be wasted.

He was also first-class in the scholar examination, so he was able to enter the government school, but he failed the provincial examination.

If it doesn't work once, if it still doesn't work the second time, Zhou Jian'an doesn't know if he can bear the blow.

Looking back now, it was calm and breezy, but in fact, even his wife didn't know how much pressure he was under during that time.

"The township examination only takes place once every three years. Our whole province only takes a hundred people. It is so difficult to pass the examination. Looking back, when the guards reported to my home that I was able to pass, I thought I was dreaming."

Even if the ranking is not very good, Zhou Jianan is content.

He knew his own level was still far behind Li Xiuping.

Li Xiuping just smiled, did not speak, and listened quietly.

He guessed, in fact, classmate Zhou didn't need him to reply, he was just looking for a channel to confide in, right?

It was only this afternoon, and the next day everyone had their own busy schedules. After all, it would take a long time to get from here to the capital.

So I went to buy a lot of things, plus the four big burdens brought from home, Li Xiuping smiled at Fang Qingqing and said:
"If it's not that we can't carry it, I'm afraid that the mother will let us take all the beds?"

What he was laughing at was the small quilt that Fang Qingqing was holding in her hand. It was cold spring when she left home, and everyone was dressed thickly, not to mention carrying too many things.

Fang Qingqing was also laughing. She asked the people in the caravan that it would take more than 20 days to go from here to the capital even if the journey went smoothly.

So, by the time it arrives, it will be the time for the exam at the end of February, right?
However, the climate over there is colder, so it is not wrong to bring more thick clothes.
