After Li Hua and He Wen returned home, they sent the copied list to Li Mingren. This time, Zhou Hanwen, a 28-year-old from Lizhou, was the host.

Li Mingren had some impressions of this person, because during the exam, the exam booth was diagonally opposite, and when he left the exam room, this person walked in front, and someone called him, so Li Mingren knew the name of this person.He looks like an honest person, but he didn't expect his knowledge to be so solid.

Examination No.2 will be called Gong Shi from now on. There are 46 candidates from Jinzhou City who came to rush for the exam, not only the freshly released candidates from last year, but also those who referred to previous years. Just to be able to stand in the first class.

This time, Jinzhou had quite a lot of people rushing for the exam. There were 16 people who passed the exam. It seemed quite a lot, but compared with the kind of city where 20 people went to the exam and 20 people passed it, it was a bit ugly.

Wen Zhiyu, a member of Jinzhou City, was ranked ahead of Li Mingren and entered the top ten.After that, Zheng Yue was also ranked ahead of Li Mingren, but Li Mingren had no impression of this Zheng Yue, and the rankings of the other candidates in Jinzhou City were all behind Li Mingren.

Li Mingren was watching intently, when he heard the sound of gongs and drums beating outside, it should be the official messenger who announced the good news.The husband and wife rushed out to greet them, scattered money, set off firecrackers, and wrapped a big red envelope for the official who announced the good news.

The official who announced the good news weighed the weight in his hand, and the congratulatory words didn't stop.The common people who watched the excitement also followed suit.

"This street is still busy. Look, I heard that Huiyuan lives next door. The masters inside have all passed the exam, and even two households have passed the exam. Do you think it is prosperous!" Gossip ladies are discussing See what portals are in this Huaiyuan Street.

Zhao Yunlan listened, but she didn't expect that all the noisy students next door won, and one of them was that Zhou Hanwen.The next door is Huiyuan, and the good news is announced early, so when the official sent, Li Mingren and the others were still blocking the street, so they didn't know the situation.Thinking about it this way, the people next door should all rank ahead of Li Mingren.

The family went in, and Li Mingren looked at the walled courtyard next door, feeling stunned. As the lady said, he was a talented player. It really can't be judged by appearances.

Before I knew it, it was time for the palace examination, and Li Mingli was more excited than Li Mingren.

Li Mingren took Zhao Yunlan's hand: "Hey, let the lady worry about it."

Zhao Yunlan came over and looked at Li Mingren slumped on the couch, frowning a little, and pressed Li Mingren's head helplessly.

Looking at the presents, Zhao Yunlan thought about the presents received by the Juren before, and thought that there are so many people this time, those rich people can't give presents next to each other again, can they?
I thought so, but I still asked He Wen and Li Hua to pay attention. Seeing that the palace exam will be held in a few days, Li Mingren can't be distracted.

"Either don't go out, or go to get drunk. You say you~" Zhao Yunlan didn't blame, but couldn't help complaining when she saw Li Mingren like this.

When Li Mingren woke up, it was already the afternoon of the second day. He rubbed his head, feeling dizzy. Ye Sheng fetched water to wash Li Mingren, and he felt comfortable after eating a bowl of porridge brought by He Hua.

Li Mingli shook his head: "I'm just saying it casually, it's better to keep such a good thing."

"Ye Sheng, prepare a copy of each of these things and send them to the next door!" Zhao Yunlan pointed to the souvenirs, soap, building blocks, and some food at home.

Ye Sheng was sent back to serve food in the middle of the journey. The gifts he sent yesterday included homemade food. Several examinees liked it very much, and everyone was a middle-aged man. They ate it all up in a short while, so Li Mingren ordered Ye Sheng to eat it. Sheng came back to get a little past.

Li Mingren naturally accepted the invitation, and also planned to take Liu Chengmin with him. Zhao Yunlan chose a blue robe for Li Mingren, which looked quite lively.

Li Mingli sighed with a smile: "Although this gift is good, it cannot be exchanged for silver."

Li Mingren: "Hahaha, Huiyuan this week is very interesting. Originally, he wanted to take the path of a military general, but his family disagreed, so they kept deadlocked. Finally, the family let go and agreed to him, but the requirement is to get fame first. , I didn’t expect him to pass the exam.”

"Brother, you are going to the palace!"

Li Mingren: "Well, did Chengmin send someone to look at it?"

In the early morning of the second day, several servants next door sent back gifts, and Zhou Hanwen also posted a post to Li Mingren, inviting him to meet friends with poems.

"Brother Ming, congratulations!"

After the servant of Liu Chengmin's family read the news and went back to report it, it didn't take long for Liu Chengmin to come to congratulate him with a gift.

Zhao Yunlan: "I've only been there for a day, so it's getting better?"

"I know, you've said it several times! Don't delay my meal, I have to hurry up and set off."

After Li Mingren left, Zhao Yunlan just nestled in the backyard and read a book. From time to time there were noisy sounds from the front yard, and sometimes Li Hua could hear his master singing poems, just howling.Probably because the neighbor next door got excited after drinking.

Zhao Yunlan: "Well, the third brother went to see it, and said he was still asleep, nothing happened. In the morning, I sent some food to the next door, and asked He Hua to make some braised pork for delivery."

Li Mingren smiled: "Miss, you have worked hard! Zhou Huiyuan said that his mistress is coming to the capital, and you can walk around when the time comes."

Li Mingren nodded, expressing his understanding.

"Every inch of land is expensive, let's talk about it again, if it doesn't work, let's give up." Zhao Yunlan considered the price within 3000 taels, but the shop was really suitable, so Zhao Yunlan was willing to let Li Mingli talk again.

In the evening Li Mingren came back drunk and smelled of alcohol all over his body, so he could only stay in the front yard to rest overnight.It's just because Zhao Yunlan doesn't like the smell when she sleeps.

Last night, Liu Chengmin drank more than Li Mingren, probably because he met a good person, and he became excited unconsciously, arousing that kind of youthful drive.

Li Mingli: "Well, three thousand five hundred taels, I don't even dare to think about it."

Zhao Yunlan: "It's really not good in the capital. I'm afraid that if I meet the family of this gift, I can transport it to other places to exchange money."

Zhao Yunlan smiled and then asked: "Is it because the price of the shop is not agreed?"

"Yes, ma'am."

The only thing to blame is that Li Mingren is considered an otaku, which was cultivated in those days of studying before. If he hadn't accompanied Zhao Yunlan later, Li Mingren could have stayed at home every day.So after living for so long, Li Mingren has never met the student next door, so he didn't know each other in the Gongyuan.

Zhao Yunlan has also visited that shop, the location is good, the shop is okay overall, the back yard is very big, it is possible to live in this big family.

There are so many rich people in the capital, Li Hua has received a lot of presents in the past few days, they were sent by the servants of various wealthy households, but they left in a hurry after giving the gifts and leaving a post.

In the evening, Li Mingren stayed with Liu Seungmin for a light meal as a celebration.

Zhao Yunlan: "What about his family?"

Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Mingren and said, "Since we know the situation next door, we should express it."

Zhao Yunlan patted Li Mingren on the shoulder, "Work hard!"

Li Mingren bowed his hand and returned the gift.

Zhao Yunlan looked at the ceremony on the table, sighed helplessly, and ordered He Wen to register and make a book.

Li Mingren: "I heard from them that Zhou Huiyuan's grandfather was a grand tutor before, and after he resigned, he took his family back to Lizhou."

Zhao Yunlan: "Forget it, don't go out these few days, you also know that people are more talented than you, so you should be obedient and study at home."

Li Mingli nodded like pounding garlic, but he still couldn't help being excited.

Zhao Yunlan spoke earnestly: "I have worked so hard for so long, today is the last step, and I still say the same thing, as long as you don't make mistakes."

Li Mingren nodded, and after dinner, he got into the carriage and went to the palace.

Zhao Yunlan was busy tidying up at home, the weather is getting warmer, some seasonal clothes need to be washed, washed and dried in the sun.

Li Mingli had no sense of excitement since Mingren left, and just sat in the front yard thinking about seeing Li Mingren enter the door for the first time.
