The sky had already darkened, and Li Mingren finally came out of the palace.

He Wen and Ye Sheng had already been waiting outside the palace. As soon as Li Mingren left the palace, they were taken to the carriage by the two of them, and they didn't stay long. Li Mingren called He Wen to drive back in the carriage.

Hearing the sound of Li Hua opening the door, Li Mingli knew that the eldest brother had returned, so he hurried out to greet him.

"Brother, how did you do in the exam today?" Li Mingli asked impatiently.

Li Mingren: "It's okay, can I have dinner? I'm so hungry that my chest is sticking to my back."

Li Mingli: "Well, the food is ready, and my sister-in-law will wait for you to come back to cook."

The two brothers walked towards the backyard, Li Mingli asked: "Brother, did the emperor examine you?"

Li Mingren: "No, where does the emperor have the time to ask me? Today is mainly an exam, and the emperor just came down to inspect. He passed by me without stopping."

Li Mingli: "That's it! Then big brother, what does the emperor look like?"

Li Mingren: "Don't talk about this, be careful that the walls have ears." Then the voice lowered, "The emperor is quite old."

On Li Bao's side, ask him to keep some wine at home, and then arrange a time to come to the capital. "

Li Mingren: "Okay, they are hoping that there will be more people, Brother Dashan, you guys, big and small, go together too!"

Zhao Yunlan also wanted to follow, her own family didn't care, but there were others who were worried that she would cause trouble for Li Mingren if she was too out of line.

Li Mingli took Ye Sheng to the bottom of the list. When he saw his eldest brother's name on the list, tears suddenly fell from the corners of his eyes. At this moment, he didn't know whether it was excitement or excitement. Li Mingli didn't care so much, hugged Ye Sheng burst into tears.

In the evening, the emperor will hold a Qionglin banquet for the new scholars, so Li Mingren is busy today.

"Fortunately, it's a peaceful day, otherwise I'd be a little nervous about not having a man in the family." Zhao Yunlan said to Chunxiang, and planned to buy some more servants. Now that the family business is getting better and better, Li Mingren has also come forward. This manpower seems a bit insufficient.

Zhao Yunlan blinked: "Okay, then I'll go."

What Li Mingli didn't know was that there were no major mistakes in this palace test, and if the test questions were written normally, everyone should be able to become a Jinshi. It's just that the ranking may be different from that of the general examination. Of course, some people were rejected in the palace test.

Zhao Yunlan nodded in agreement, then turned her head and told Chunxiang to call Li Dashan over.

The person who announced the good news came, and this time Zhao Yunlan was wrapped in a big red envelope, and the neighbors in an alley came to congratulate her enthusiastically.Zhao Yunlan was a little overwhelmed, some people came to the door with gifts, Zhao Yunlan could only ask Li Mingli to order a restaurant, and entertain the people who came to congratulate to have a meal.

Zhao Yunlan watched the two brothers come in, and ordered He Huachunxiang to prepare a meal.

Li Mingli interjected: "Brother, I'm going too, so take me with you!"

Zhao Yunlan nodded, indicating that she understood.

Zhao Yunlan: "Thank you for your hard work. Let's prepare to repair this shop once it is sold. There is no rush for this shop and it will be repaired before the end of the year, so I want Master Zhang to come to the capital."

After waiting for a while, the parade team came over, and the people cheered. The number one scholar riding in the front was an old man with a white beard, wearing a big red robe and a black gauze hat, and suddenly the momentum came out. Official atmosphere.

A large group of people rushed out, and one of the men in the family followed, leaving Zhao Yunlan with Chunxiang and He Hua at home.

After the meal, Li Mingli wanted to ask some questions, but was stopped by Li Mingren.

Li Mingli got up when he was tired from crying and said, "Our Li family is really different!"

The next day, Li Mingli took down the shop on Chongping Street at a price of 100 taels, which really couldn't be negotiated any lower.

Li Mingren: "It's those next door, Zhou Huiyuan, brother Hanwen."

At night, Zhao Yunlan was just about to go to bed when Li Mingren and his brothers came back. The smell of sweat mixed with the smell of alcohol wafted in the house.

Zhao Yunlan found a corner of a teahouse and stood there, but there were no seats left when she arrived late.Not only Zhao Yunlan, many girls came, Zhao Yunlan thought of the book about catching a son-in-law under the list, presumably these girls also thought the same.

"Hey, I finally had a warm meal!" Li Mingren's body became much warmer after taking a mouthful of warm soup.The palace prepared food, but it was cold, Li Mingren reluctantly ate a few mouthfuls in order not to be hungry.Quite a few weak candidates had to leave the hall early because they ate cold food and made trouble in the second half.

"If you have anything to say, let's chat after eating!"

Li Mingren: "A gentleman has six skills, and he knows a little bit. Isn't this a lady who underestimates people!"

Li Mingren: "It's okay, let's go play together."

"Hey, I was thinking of going to see your elder brother parading the streets!" Zhao Yunlan felt a little helpless.

Li Dashan and the others wrote down one by one, and they were very excited. This is to start working hard in the capital.

Li Mingli argued with the original owner of the shop for a long time, and secretly revealed that his eldest brother is now a tribute, and that the owner really wanted to leave the capital as soon as possible after the shop was released, so that the negotiation could be concluded. Li Mingli didn't care if it was sold to Yaren, the wood of those furniture is not good, and it is not suitable for his own business.

Li Mingren walked behind, also wearing a red robe, Zhao Yunlan thought that people rely on clothes, and looked at the majestic person next to her pillow, she was inexplicably moved.

Li Mingren consciously didn't go back to the main yard to sleep, and rested in the front yard after cleaning up for a while.

After the two came back, Li Mingren had already gone out, and all Jinshi had to go down the street under the leadership of the number one scholar. Of course, only the first and third people crossed the horse, and the rest followed in order of rank.

"Is Mr. Zhao's family making arrangements?" Li Dashan knew that he was talking about something, so he called Mr. Mr. Zhao.

As soon as I finished speaking here, Li Mingren came here.

Li Mingli: "Sister-in-law, you can go, I can take care of you at home, I can."

Li Dashan hesitated, "I don't know how to shoot arrows?"

Two days later, when it was time to release the list, Li Mingren didn't look at the list this time.

Zhao Yunlan didn't go either, but was preparing clothes for Li Mingren to wear when he went parading in the street.

"Old Zhou?" Zhao Yunlan didn't realize it for a while.

Zhao Yunlan: "After you go back, cooperate with Ming Li to harvest the ducks, separate the feathers from the ducks, and transport all the feathers to the capital.

Li Mingli: "Then I'll write a letter and send it back one step ahead of time, and I'll arrange to go back after the big brother's list is released."

Li Mingli chuckled: "It seems that big brother is sure."

Zhao Yunlan has calculated this account, the price of craftsmen in this capital is much higher, it is better to invite Master Zhang, although the travel expenses must be included, but it is more tacit to use by oneself, and there is no need to re-adjust. can also be communicated effectively.

"Third brother, just wait patiently for the list! Let me have a good rest these few days, so I can relax a bit."

Ye Sheng was also overwhelmed by his third master's behavior, comforting Li Mingli from time to time, and remembering to write down the list of the top ones.

Li Mingren entered the second class, higher than the ranking in the examination, No. 40 eighth.There are three people in the first class, the top pick is Liang Musheng, the second place is Wen Zhiyu, and the previous Zhou Huiyuan and Zhou Hanwen are Tanhua.

"My lady!" Li Mingren glanced at Zhao Yunlan, meaning that he did not make a big mistake today.

Zhao Yunlan: "Well, go! Will you?"

"Lady, Lao Zhou invited me to go hunting, so I won't be eating at home today."

"Sister-in-law, this is the deed, you take it away."

Li Mingren nodded, "Okay!"

"You guys go, change your clothes, suitable for hunting. There will be no food for you in the evening, Mingren, bring some more silver for your preparation."

It seemed to be a tacit understanding, Li Mingren raised his head just in time to meet Zhao Yunlan's eyes, and Li Mingren walked even more majesticly.

Zhao Yunlan: "Let's go, we're going back."

Chunxiang and Hehua were still immersed in the excitement, and didn't react for a while, until they felt Zhao Yunlan's head slap, and then followed Zhao Yunlan back in a daze.

Li Mingli was very busy at home, and Li Dashan and others also helped to greet the guests. I don't know where so many gift givers came from, and they almost didn't know each other. He Wen was so tired of writing the gift list.

The house next door also came in an endless stream, but there was no one in charge at home, so there was no banquet to thank the guests.So there are more talents on Li Mingli's side.
