As soon as Liu Wensheng left, Qin Mian came up, and Li Quan preempted him and said, "Do you want to ask me why I said that?"

Qin Mian nodded. She knew how good the master was to Liu Wensheng. The situation this time was completely different from before, which made people feel puzzled.

"Liu Wensheng is a person who seeks pleasure after all, that's all! Forget my mistake, I won't have any contact with him in the future."

Qin Mian was even more puzzled. Hearing the master's tone, it seemed that he was about to break up with Liu Wensheng!

Soon, Qin Mian was attracted by Li Quan's other topic.

"If you have nothing to do, you can go to the bustling streets of the capital to see where there is a mansion big enough to accommodate our family."

Qin Mian was a little apprehensive, and didn't understand Li Quan's meaning for a while: "Look at the mansion? Master wants to buy the mansion?"

"Ah."

"Could it be..."

Qin Mian suddenly understood, and opened her mouth in surprise.

That's right, Li Quan did have the idea of ​​letting his family move to the capital.

"Master, why are you suddenly here?"

"The emperor treated my Li family well. In order to investigate the responsibility of my unauthorized resignation, he secretly helped my family's business. He didn't blame him for teaching students this time. Instead, he asked me to be the chief examiner of 'Chun' Wei, enjoying the pursuit of literati. In order to make me famous in the literary world. The emperor has paved the way for me so comprehensively. Although I don’t agree very much, I can believe that the emperor will not harm my Li family. You also know that the reason why the master has been reluctant to let the wife They all came to the capital because they were worried about getting killed. The emperor loves him so much, so he must be safe in Beijing. It is better for the whole family to live together. The master is going to preside over the 'Chun', so you have to look around more in the past two days How about taking the master to see it again after the 'Chun' Wei?"

"Yes." Qin Mian agreed without thinking, and suddenly two clouds of fire burned on her plain pretty face, which was extremely soft and beautiful.She was very happy in her heart. Firstly, she was able to see her sister who had lived for a long time, and secondly, it was a step closer to officially marrying into the Li family.

Chapter 548: Before the Exam

On February [-]th of the 'lunar' calendar, two days before the 'spring' exams, everything that should be prepared has been prepared, just waiting for candidates from all over the place to enter.

Like Qiu Wei, "Chun" Wei also has three exams, which are on February [-]th, February [-]th, and February [-]th in the "lunar" calendar.

If compared with the Qiu Wei that Li Quan had seen before, Qiu Wei is the high school entrance examination, and 'Chun' Wei is the college entrance examination, and the scale is not the same.If you ask about the last palace test, Li Quan estimated that it should be a scene like a Mathematical Olympiad competition.Therefore, this is the most important of the three exams in the 'Chun' Wei. Once you pass it, you can enter the palace examination and meet the emperor. After arriving at the Hanlin Academy, it is also the rhythm of food and clothing for the rest of my life.

"Chun" Wei is the turning point of the status of many literati, like mud flowing into the sea, like fish jumping over the "gate".During this period, all eyes in the capital were focused on this.

The imperial examination is a symbol of ancient times, and it was the same in the Qing Dynasty, which should not have existed.Moreover, the Qing Dynasty was based on martial arts. In the previous years, martial arts were emphasized over literature. With the peace of the Quartet, the usefulness of martial artists gradually weakened, and the entire Daqing was inclined towards literature.Even the emperor, who advocated force, realized that barbarians could not rule the country, and needed more learned people to assist the government.Therefore, the importance of imperial examinations is getting higher and higher year by year.

Such a trend has also stimulated the enthusiasm of young people from all over the world to learn, and more and more people refer to it every year, but very few of them can really come to the 'Chun' Wei through the Qiu Wei.

On the occasion of the opening of the "Chun" examination, not only the emperor's oral order, but also all activities in the capital will be given to the literati as a reference.

Among the people, imperial examinations are also endowed with a sacred aura. Any scholar who can become a tribute through the "Chun" Wei is a young talent, a wealthy person chosen by heaven, and even some women want to take this Chances of finding a good match.

In short, every "Spring" Wei will have some interesting stories.

Like now, it is said that there is a wealthy family in Beijing who has a "daughter" to marry on behalf of them, and it is rumored that they want to "catch a son-in-law under the list".

The so-called "catch a son-in-law under the list" is to select a son-in-law from the list of the emperor's list. No matter who you are, as long as you can be named on the gold list, you are eligible to become the "son-in-law" of the "caught son-in-law", as long as the man is willing , the 'woman' agrees unconditionally, and it is first come, first served.

During the 'Spring' period, the interesting things didn't stop there, and some people even set up bets on the results of this year's start and so on.

The busiest place is naturally the inn near Kaochen, where all the candidates live.

The exam has not yet started, and the examinees are already fighting with each other. Everyone wants to build momentum for themselves before the exam, and their reputation has become louder. The wind has been lingering in the inn.

According to the official tradition, two days before the 'Chun' Wei, the chief examiner of the 'Chun' Wei will go to the inn with the most candidates to mobilize. Simply put, it is to cheer for all the candidates and let them relax and so on.In fact, it is to make friends through literature, and secretly accept some benefits from candidates.

There are two examiners in "Chun" Wei, one is Li Quan, and the other is Lang Fuzhong, the "servant" of the Ministry of Rites.

It stands to reason that the "Chun" Wei was prepared by the Imperial Academy and presided over by the Ministry of Rites.There are two chief examiners and several assistant examiners, but the Imperial Academy is only qualified to appoint one person to serve as an assistant examiner.This was the first time a situation like Li Quan's happened, but because it was hand-picked by the emperor, naturally no idiot came forward to offer any opinions.

On the same day, Li Quan and Fu Zhong agreed to meet at the entrance of the examination room and planned to go to the inn where the candidates lived together.

Some of Kong Wu's powerful 'guards' held knives, some held placards, and stood in two rows in a decent manner. The people on the side of the street stretched their necks one by one, waiting to watch the excitement, wondering where the official was going. Wherever they go.

Li Quan is a "servant" who can guess the sixth-rank official, and Fuzhong's "servant" Lang is the second-rank official, not to mention whether he has real power or not. The difference in rank alone cannot be counted by ten fingers.

These two people met as the chief examiner of 'Chun'wei when they got together, which was really nondescript.

Even Fu Zhong himself didn't know how to face this... this 'servant' said.

Fuzhong, just by looking at a person who wears the word "Fu", he knows that he must be a fat man. He really lives up to his name. In addition to being fat, he also looks a little cute, and he doesn't look like a high-ranking official.

Fu Zhong has heard about the actual situation that Li's waiter said. Since he didn't investigate carefully, he didn't know Li Quan's real identity. A trace of Shangguan's prestige is very polite to Li Quan.

Li Quan and Fu Zhong were in the front, the 'guards' were in the middle, and the common people were in the back. The group of people walking along the way always felt a little less serious.Because the 'guards' in the middle are a little bit awkward, many of them have higher official positions than Li Quan, but now they want to protect Li Quan, which is really awkward.

However, Huangcheng Street, which is directly opposite the Imperial Palace, has long been occupied by examinees, colorful flags fluttered on both sides of the street, and firecrackers were fired to express their welcome to the examiners.

Today is the first time the chief examiner has met, and no candidate will give up this opportunity to get close to the chief examiner.

Therefore, the seven or eight meters wide Huangcheng Street is overcrowded, and it is very difficult to move forward.

The sound of firecrackers and shouts mixed together, and Li Quan couldn't hear what the people around him were saying at all.It is estimated that the examinee blew up his name during the 'excitement' to give the examiner an impression.

At this time, Fu Zhong, who was traveling with him, saw Li Quan's expression bright, and said with a smile: "Sir Li said, let's go our way, is it possible that there are still candidates who dare to block the way? I have seen many things this time. "

As he said that, Fuzhong walked ahead with his big belly.

Just as Fu Zhong said, although the street was congested, no one dared to stop in front of the examiner.The crowd is like ants meeting water and quickly walk out of a channel.

If you want to ask which inn in the capital city has the most candidates, naturally it must be Yubizhai!

This is an inn set up by Wen Sheng, who only accepts literati and scholars, and has many rooms and occupies a very large area. It is more like a mansion than an inn.The cost of lodging here is extremely high, and there are almost no people there in normal times. That is to say, the expenses are all subsidized by the state treasury. The purpose is to create a good and comfortable learning environment for scholars so that they can get a good rank in the exam.

And Yubizhai has another name, it is called Zhuangyuan Building, and it is said that the number one scholars of all dynasties came from this Yubizhai.Therefore, in order to be safe, candidates have to sit here no matter how high the fees are, naturally to pave the way for their high school.

And those candidates who have no money can only live nearby, the closer the inn is to the Yubizhai, the more expensive it is, even if there is a special order from the emperor, it is not something ordinary candidates can afford.

Candidates are all over the city, but at this moment they are all gathered in Yubi Studio.

Looking at the plaque on the height of the 'gate' of Yubizhai, the firecrackers hanging on both sides rang.

The sound of firecrackers surpassed one sound, and the sound shook the sky.

It was the first time for Li Quan to receive this kind of treatment, and his face could not help showing his color.However, as soon as we arrived at the 'door', a couplet fell from the window on the second floor of Yubizhai, which read:

"Wangjiang tower, watching the river flow, watching the river flow from the Wangjiang tower, the river tower is eternal, and the river flow is eternal."

Li Quan didn't understand what he meant, so a junior from Yubizhai came forward and explained with a smile: "Master examiners, this is a question posed by more than ten thousand of our students to the two adults. Go downstairs and go upstairs.

It was also the first time for Fuzhong to see such a battle, so he couldn't help but look at Li Quan: "Said Li, are you coming?"

"This, let the adults do it."

Fuzhong didn't refuse, don't look at the big bellies, he didn't pause at all for this couple, took a break with the firecrackers, and said: "Yinyuejing, Yinyueying, Yinyueying in Yinyuejing, Yuejing ten thousand years, moon shadow ten thousand years! "
