After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

Li Hansheng did receive Xie Boyuan's letter. He originally hoped that Xie Boyuan would stop harassing him. After all, he really couldn't stand Xie Boyuan's nagging.

Xie Boyuan thought it would be good to go out for a walk. Li Hansheng wrote a reply and assigned ten of his personal guards to protect him. At the same time, he told Xie Boyuan to take care of his health and return to the capital immediately if he felt unwell.

Xie Boyuan's letter did not mention that he was in Zhoucheng, and Li Hansheng did not guess that. Furthermore, he did not guess that Xie Boyuan planned to meet Xiao Qingshan and follow Xiao Qingshan to his appointment.

It can only be said that the two of them have a perfect tacit understanding with war, but have no tacit understanding at all with life. Cheng Si knew that the military advisor had written to the Duke, so he guessed that the Duke knew about it, so he didn't say anything more.

Just like this, everyone got the result they wanted.

Xiao Qingshan was very tired when he came out of the examination room, so he quickly took a rest when he returned to the inn. The next day, I went out refreshed and planned to visit the bookstore in Zhoucheng. As soon as I walked out of the room, the guest next door happened to be going out as well. He was dressed like a scholar and looked to be at least 7-8 years older than him. After nodding, he called Cheng Si and went out.

The bookstores in Zhoucheng are relatively concentrated. The two of them walked there. Xiao Qingshan found that the scholar who lived next door to him was following them all the way, and it seemed that he was also going to the bookstore.

Sure enough, we met at the bookstore. Although he knew that it was very unlikely that the books his daughter wanted were on sale, Xiao Qingshan still asked the shopkeeper seriously. He was not disappointed when he received the answer of "no". He browsed through the books in the book list carefully and selected if there were any that he had not read.

When he arrived at the third bookstore, Xie Boyuan couldn't help but take the initiative to strike up a conversation with Xiao Qingshan. He walked over and said softly: "Brother, I have no intention of eavesdropping. Do you want to choose some books related to agriculture or breeding?"

Xiao Qingshan looked at this middle-aged man. In fact, he felt that this man looked familiar from the first time he met him, but this was definitely his first time. My husband once said that if he is not sure about something, he should not rush to take action. He can wait and think more.

Xiao Qingshan was also secretly observing Xie Boyuan along the way, and saw that the other party had no ill intentions and had nothing to hide: "Yes, I want to try to find out."

"It's hard to find bookstores in Qingzhou City, but I have seen a few books in bookstores in Beijing," Xie Boyuan reminded Xiao Qingshan. The scholar was most interested in the bookstore. The two of them chatted about the books they had read and were very interested in them.

Finally, Xiao Qingshan discovered a copy of "Eight Notes of Yongzhou" written by Master Liu of the former dynasty. The article was very documentary, describing the landscapes and scenic spots, but also borrowing scenery to express emotions, integrating theories into the scenery, as if it were a treasure.

This book is suitable for both adults and children. I think Jiajia will like it. Xie Boyuan only bought some rice paper, and the two of them went back to the inn together. Cheng Si watched the whole process with an indifferent expression.

Back at the inn, Xie Boyuan invited Xiao Qingshan to have tea. The two talked about poetry and life ideals. Xiao Qingshan did not find out where Xie Boyuan came from, but Xie Boyuan took a thorough look at it.

Xie Boyuan's pseudonym is Yuan Bo, claiming to be a scholar who studied abroad, and now he has arrived in Qingzhou. The next stop is not yet certain, but I plan to make my home from all over the world and see Daliang.

Cheng Si, who was guarding the door: "Are you not sure where to go next? Are you not sure where Xiao Qingshan is assigned?"

On the third day after the exam, Xiao Qingshan set off home and said goodbye to Xie Boyuan. The two did not leave a mailing address, fearing that they would never meet again in the future.

On the carriage back, Xiao Qingshan was very happy with the books he bought for his daughter in his bag and the donkey-hide gelatin he bought for his wife next to him. As expected, you can actually buy donkey-hide gelatin in Zhoucheng Pharmacy!

Dong was very happy while holding the donkey-hide gelatin, and while complaining about Xiao Qingshan's reckless spending, the tips of his ears turned red with joy. Mingjia also likes the books her father gave her. At least she knows more about this country.

As for Mingjun, he stared at his father eagerly, expecting a gift. Xiao Qingshan touched his nose and turned his head to pretend not to see it. He didn’t forget it on purpose!

As early as when Xiao Qingshan went to the state city to take the exam, the village school had already started construction and was almost completed. It is said that the original plan of the school was actually three rooms, one for teaching, one for the husband to live in, and one for the husband to cook. As a result, an extra classroom for studying was built.

There is still open space around, which will not be enough for expansion in the future. Xiao Qingshan gave the village chief 10 taels of silver before leaving, and now he has spent less than 6 taels. Xiao Qingshan was surprised how it was so cheap.

It turned out that several nearby villages heard that the master of Tianjia Village was going to build a school for the village and would also recruit children from other villages. They were all very happy. Some villages had brick factories, and some villages sold stones and other building materials. Everyone gave them very low prices.

Even the villagers who come to work only need 5 cents per day. Xiao Qingshan was so moved that he confiscated the remaining money and bought desks and chairs for the children.

If there are any leftovers, ask the village chief to help save them. If you meet a child with good talents but your family is really poor, please sponsor one or two. After the money is spent, if he is out of town in the future, you can also write to him.

The village chief was moved by Xiao Qingshan's generosity and trust. Finally, it was agreed that on the first day of March, the school would officially enroll students. I think that at that time, his dispatch order had not yet been issued, so he could watch the children enroll in school.

When I went home for dinner, I told my wife and daughter all this, and they both had no objections. Mingjia thought: "This is the early student aid fund, my dad is great!"

After reading "Eight Notes of Yongzhou", Mingjia had new ideas about information collection. It is estimated that his father would not accept any forms of questionnaires, but he would rarely accept them if they were travel notes.

It's just that she is a child, so she writes travel notes in a more vernacular and more life-like way, and there's nothing wrong with that, right?

On February 27th, Sun Juan came to Tianjiacun ahead of schedule. He came alone and moved directly into the prepared house. After visiting the school and the village, Sun Juan was very satisfied and even a little excited. Finally, a banquet was held at the village chief's house, and Xiao Qingshan was the guest and host.

On the second day, Xiao Qingshan sent Sun Juan the books he had prepared in advance for enlightenment. In fact, Sun Juan could also write these books silently, but it was also his intention.

By the way, Xiao Qingshan also prepared a law book for Sun Juan, which he also silently wrote. He had already mentioned his plans to take the Asian examination and possibly be assigned as an official, and Sun Juan was very happy for him.

Xiao Qingshan knew that Sun Juan was more talented at studying than him, and it would be best for him to take the imperial examination in the future and become an official on the right path. He didn't even know if there would be an Aashi examination in a few years. In any case, it was good to be familiar with the law, know the law and observe the etiquette.

Of course, in his heart, he hoped that Sun Jun would take the imperial examination and become a high official, so that he could be given some care in the future.

In fact, Sun Juan's situation is more in line with the emperor's conditions for choosing a son from a poor family this time, but he is still a child and has not participated in the imperial examination. Otherwise, the result will be unknown.
