Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 871
Standing in the examination room, Li Qinzai seemed to have returned to the college entrance examination in his previous life, even more tense than the atmosphere of the college entrance examination.

In the past, Li Qinzai was also one of thousands of candidates, working hard for his future.

It's a pity that I am not good at studying after all, and no matter how hard I try, it is useless. The poor college entrance examination score is the first slap in the face from the society, which makes him understand the difference between "effort", "talent" and "result". In fact, it doesn't really matter much.

Li Qinzai secretly sighed as he looked at the faces of the examinees in this temple that was temporarily used as an examination room.

No matter how much we emphasize that we are born equal, there is an indisputable fact that, from ancient times to the present, the human class is a pyramid, the higher the level, the harder it is, and the higher the level, the fewer the number of people.

It's not easy to cross class.

Even if they have achieved fame, there will still be countless catastrophes waiting for them in the officialdom in the future, and those who can really enter the court are rare.

At this moment, what thousands of people are fighting for is this rare opportunity, a silver lining.

After patrolling the examination room for a long time, Li Qinzai walked towards the side hall.

The sun was setting, and there was the sound of evening drums in the distance from the temple. The golden setting sun bathed the candidates, as if shrouded in a layer of golden light blessed by the national fortune.

At this moment, Li Qinzai finally understood why Li Shimin stood on the Longshouyuan and said so proudly, "All the best talents in the world are in my pocket".

The world's talents are taken for the country, and they are used to the fullest, and the country is prosperous.

…………

When it was getting dark, there was a sound of cloud panels, and the scientific research was over.

Today's scientific examinations are not like those in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Candidates sit in the numbered room for two or three days at a time, eating, drinking and drinking.

Datang is in the early stage of scientific examination, many rules have not been formed, the examination questions are not so complicated, and the duration of the examination is usually only one day.

After the officers and soldiers finished collecting the test papers, Li Qinzai and the officials from the Ministry of Rites entered the secret room. Under the supervision of the censors, all the test papers were piled up in stacks, sealed up, sealed, and guarded by the imperial guards.

The errands of this scientific examination have finally come to an end. Next, Li Qinzai still has to mark the papers, collect the scholars, test the list, etc. There are still many tedious things waiting for him.

Walking out of the Qinglong Temple, the tribals were waiting outside the door. The crowd surrounded Li Qinzai and was about to leave when he saw an urgent cry from the dark.

Li Qinzai turned his head to look, and suddenly found that it was a trilogy from Ganjingzhuang Bieyuan. Seeing him running in sweat, Li Qinzai's heart sank.

"Wu Shaolang, hurry up! The young lady is giving birth!" Bu Qu shouted.

Li Qinzai's face turned pale immediately, he got on his horse and ran towards Yanxingmen without saying a word.

At this time the gate of the city was closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Li Qinzai was in a hurry, took out his waist card from his arms, and signaled the gate guards to let them go. Seeing that they were still hesitating, Li Qinzai whipped him down.

The officers and soldiers ran around covering their heads, unable to offend them, they had to open the gate of the city and let them leave the city.

The risk of traveling at night is not small, but Li Qinzai didn't care about it, the men closely guarded him, and they all galloped towards Ganjingzhuang in the dark.

After more than an hour, he finally arrived at the other courtyard. Li Qinzai dismounted from his horse and rushed towards the backyard.

In the backyard, the bedroom of Li Qinzai and his wife has become a delivery room. A curtain hangs over the door, and several old women come in and out nervously.

Song Guanshi was waiting outside the yard, and he couldn't help being overjoyed to see Li Qinzai back, so he immediately went up to greet him.

"It's good for Wu Shaolang to come back. The family can't live without a backbone. I'm so anxious..."

Li Qinzai ignored him, rushed to the door of the delivery room in a few steps, opened the curtain and waited in. Just after taking a step, he was pushed out by an old woman desperately.

"Fifth Shaolang, don't make any trouble. It's busy inside. Men are not allowed to enter the dark place of the delivery room." The old woman said bluntly.

"My mother is giving birth to a baby, why can't I go in, and I'm not an outsider..." Li Qinzai walked in again, but was pushed out again by the old woman desperately.

In the delivery room, Cui Jie's voice suddenly came out: "Husband, don't make trouble, the delivery room is in bad luck, don't ruin your husband's luck, get out!"

Li Qinzai pursed his lips, what is so ominous, the obstetrics and gynecology department more than 1000 years later encouraged the husband to enter the delivery room to accompany his wife to give birth, the couple witnessed the birth of the child together, what a great significance.

Taking a few steps back resentfully, Jin Xiang took his arm from the side, and said softly: "Don't worry, Husband, my sister will definitely get through this disaster smoothly."

Li Qinzai nodded silently. In this day and age, it is true for a woman to say that giving birth is a catastrophe. Both the mother and the child are at the gate of hell, and if there is any accident, they will not be able to pass.

Then Li Qinzai remembered again, and said, "Jie'er was very angry just now, are you going to give birth soon?"

Jin Xiang smiled: "My husband doesn't understand women's affairs, how can a child be born so fast, my sister has some abdominal pain this evening, and she is still struggling until now, she will have to wait until her ten fingers are opened to give birth smoothly."

Li Qinzai was nervous and irritable, scratched his head vigorously, and said, "What can I do?"

Jin Xiang smiled and said: "You don't need to do anything, this is not something a man should worry about, your husband just wait here."

Li Qinzai nodded, and then wandered around in the yard like a headless chicken.

After turning around a few times, Li Qinzai suddenly remembered something, and yelled at the delivery room with all his strength: "Listen, people inside, Baoda! I said it!"

Cui Jie's chuckle came from inside the delivery room, and then an old woman came out, not looking good towards Li Qinzai.

"Wu Shaolang, Madam is waiting for the water to break. Don't talk nonsense and disturb Madam's concentration. I can't bear the responsibility."

It was rare for Li Qinzai to show a humble look. She had no choice but to hold the lives of his wife and children in her hands.

"You're busy, you're busy, by the way, there will be a big reward after giving birth, [-] pennies per person, that's what I said too."

The old woman didn't even bother to pay attention to him, she turned around and hurried into the delivery room.

So Li Qinzai fell silent again, just pacing back and forth in the yard silently.

After a long time, as if thinking of something again, Li Qinzai slapped his thigh and yelled towards the arched door in the backyard this time.

"Song Guanshi, send someone to Chang'an City immediately, tell those acquaintances that I am a father again, and let them prepare gifts!"

"And my grandfather, my father and mother, all know that although they are biological, the ceremony cannot be changed, it must be grand and expensive..."

Jin Xiang tugged at the corner of his clothes carefully: "Don't talk about it, my husband. If you talk about it, you will be scolded."

Li Qinzai finally shut up.

He also knew that if the yelling continued, those old women would not care about the young man, and if they were in a hurry, they might kill him with a knife.

Not daring to enter the delivery room, Li Qinzai looked outside the door for a while, and listened for a while while leaning on the window lattice, his expression becoming more and more anxious.

This wait is more than an hour.

When the night was dark, there was finally a movement in the delivery room, and an old woman said happily: "The water broke, Madam's water broke! Get ready to deliver the baby!"
