[Comprehensive martial arts] I fall into the city

As soon as the new year is over, the capital gradually becomes lively.

Spring is set in February. Juzi from all over the country will rush to the capital to rent a house before February in order to have some time to study before the scientific examination. Since there are only poor scholars, there are no poor scholars, but Houses in the capital cannot be rented with money, so most of the children will rent in restaurants and inns together.

Living in an inn means socializing with people. Wang Hua was so focused on scientific research that he didn't want to bother, so after shopping around, he rented a small house near the former site of the West Factory.

Although the West Factory was abolished, it is said that a large number of dead bodies were cleared out when the dungeon was cleaned up. Jin Yiwei would not dare to go there on weekdays, so no one dared to live in the nearby houses. Half of the previous price, in conversion, it is much more cost-effective than staying in a hotel.

It was only after Wang Hua lived there for a few days that he realized that the person living next to the wall in his yard was Li Che, Li Shilang, who overthrew Xichang last year.

This hard-bodied adult is not like Bao Gong, as the common people say, but has an excellent appearance. At least Wang Hua has lived for 35 years, and he has never seen such a person. It is like walking out of a painting. the same.

Wang Hua has no official position, so he doesn't have to salute to Li Che, and as the spring is approaching, he has no intention of clinging to him, but he still has to sigh in his heart for God's eccentricity.

It is said that Li Shilang was only fifteen years old when he won the toad palace, and he is now a third-rank Beijing official, and he is not even 30 years old.

Wang Hua read the book behind closed doors for a month. During this period, some fellow countrymen wanted to invite him to go out for fun, and some invitations to poetry clubs were rejected by him. He was very talented since he was a child. Failure in the township examination cost him several years, and at the same time, he also calmed down his mood.

This year's examination went very smoothly. Wang Hua had a serious illness before the examination, and he was also sick when he entered the examination room, but he lived up to his reputation as a talented scholar in Yuyao, ranking 33rd in the examination.

Because the place where he lives is too unlucky, except for one neighbor to the east, hundreds of houses around are all vacant, and the next door is a third-rank official, so naturally he will not be greedy for his happy money, so Wang Hua's gold list The title is not very lively.

The imperial court will be lively for a while every year of the scientific examination. Except for officials with unreliable backgrounds, basically the officials who are serious in the scientific examination are very happy to see the court recruiting newcomers. For non-Hanlin officials, it can almost be regarded as a small holiday.

Li Che handles cases quickly, so the errands of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs are not enough for him. Whenever he finishes the work in hand, he will sit and drink tea and enjoy the fire. .

In recent years, there has been a lot of snow in various places, drought in summer, and extreme cold in winter. Disasters have been reported in many places, and there are even rumors that the land of Ming Dynasty cannot grow food. This has nothing to do with the Ministry of Criminal Justice. As for the big case, Li Che felt that the situation here would not be much better than in Daxia.

The drought in the Great Xia can squeeze rain prayers. Although there are few rain prayers, judging from the fact that the Great Xia dynasty has survived for thousands of years, the number of rain prayers in the Great Xia is far higher than what they put on the surface. Daming didn't have such luck. If the ability to pray for rain doesn't need to damage his lifespan like Master Yu's Lightning Art, Li Che thought he would probably take care of it. A person's ability is no different from that of a praying man's arm.

Li Che just felt that the winter in the capital was really too cold.

Li Che is afraid of the cold, and Li Ning is also afraid. When it gets cold, she refuses to go out. Fortunately, Xiangling is with her. Thinking it was troublesome, she taught Xiangling to read and write. It was just a whim at first, but Xiangling was very smart and quick to read and write. She often felt that Li Ning, a child, knew so many things, so she couldn't help but work harder, which made Li Ning ashamed .

Li Ning remembered that when she first learned to read, she almost tormented Li Che, who was careless in everything, to death.

The palace examination is scheduled for March [-]th. A few days ago, Li Che received the news that he was going to be the examination examiner. Therefore, there were a large number of applicants registered for this examination, and the rest of the departments were also transferred. It's not a bad job, but it's unavoidably more comfortable than drinking tea while warming the fire. Li Che dozed off while reading papers a little negatively.

The rest of the examiners, even though they have done it a few times, are not as passive as Li Che. After all, the examiners are not the ones who read the examination papers, but the gentlemen who grade the examination papers. They have the right to grade the examination papers. Sentenced as upper, middle or lower, the examination papers will be circulated by the examiner, and finally the ranking of the candidates will be decided. Although the candidates who have passed the palace examination are called the disciples of the emperor, under normal circumstances, the emperor will not specifically interfere with the agreement of the examiners. The emperor of Chenghua didn't even interfere with the special ranking of Tanhua. A few years ago, there was a Tanhua who was an old man, which disappointed the boudoir girls who were eagerly waiting for Tanhualang to cross the street.

Li Che looked at it for a while, but felt his hands were cold. The hall was full of examination papers. To avoid accidents, the braziers were placed in the corners. Put the most satisfactory portion on top, and the first one went to sit on the chair next to the brazier and drink tea by the fire.

Two officials from the Ministry of Punishment came this time, and they all knew that he was afraid of the cold, but they couldn't help but joked: "Li Shilang is also a champion, and his eyesight is unusual, this time he has the champion of the new department in his hands , to sit up?"

Li Che took a sip of hot tea, smiled, and said, "I haven't seen the one in your hands, so how do I know if I have the champion? That's the number one spot this time."

Li Che felt that he hadn't finished talking, but with his words first, everyone would not believe it. The one closest to him hurriedly picked up the top exam paper, read the first sentence and praised it.

The examination questions for the palace examination were given by the emperor of Chenghua. Whether they are good or not is a matter of course. The essence of the palace examination is to show the greatest talent within a limited range. This examination paper is neatly written and transcribed by a special transcriptionist. , not the original volume, but just from the text, one can see that this person has extraordinary knowledge and sophisticated writing skills. Although he is not stunning at first glance, he has a very solid foundation.

Stunning means that the sword is on the wrong side, so it is often Tanhua who is amazingly talented. Back then, Li Che's exam papers were brilliant with a touch of mediocrity, so he was selected as the champion. Now this exam paper also has the same effect. Speaking of other things, this person must be a good candidate for an official position.

The exam papers in the hands of the rest were really not good. Li Che deliberately sifted through the exam papers that fell to the middle and lower because he had an early break.

In the end, the examination paper that Li Che asserted was unanimously approved by the examiners, and after being read by the Emperor Chenghua, the final ranking was determined to be the top one.

When the original volume was unsealed, someone recognized it with a smile and said, "Wang Hua, a talented scholar from Yuyao, really deserves his name."

The spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, seeing Chang'an flowers in one day.

Although Yanjing is not Chang'an, the Spring Breeze is still the Spring Breeze. Although Wang Hua's state of mind is different from his youth, he still can't help but be very happy. The Hanlin Academy dawdles.

The number one scholar in the Hanlin Academy is the most.

Sometimes Wang Hua felt that if a plaque fell at the gate of the Imperial Academy, it would probably kill three champions at the same time.

After dawdling for a long time, I will naturally think of my family.

In the summer season, Li Ning suddenly noticed that there were often various abnormal noises coming from the yard next door. When she got up early, there would be the sound of reading aloud. She was still a child when she heard the sound. Only later did I realize that a family lived in next door to my house.

When Wang Hua lived alone, he didn't even have anyone to talk to. He went out early and came back late every day. Although he had seen Li Che a lot, he had never bumped into Li Ning before. After seeing his wife and children, the movement was naturally a little louder.

Li Ning has already started getting up early.

Her current body is about six or seven years old, and it is still early to practice martial arts. The best age for martial arts practitioners is around eight years old. If it is too early, it will be unfavorable for development, and if it is too late, the bones will harden. Although she has reincarnated several times, her body is still weak. It hasn't changed, the talent that is different from ordinary people allows her to practice martial arts earlier, sometimes she practices martial arts out of breath in the yard, and when she calms down a little, she can hear the sound of reading in the yard next door.

It's been a long time, and it's kind of strange.

The reading kid next door probably thinks so too.

A few days later, a stone wrapped in a ball of paper was suddenly thrown from the courtyard wall. The ball of paper was opened, and the handwriting on it was very neat, but the writing was a little weak, and it said "what are you doing?".

Li Ning suddenly realized that her humming and chirping voice should be a little strange to those who don't know it.

She touched her nose and saw that there was still a large blank area on the paper ball, so she ran back to the study to get a pen and ink, and wrote concisely under the paper ball: "Practice martial arts."

A stone wrapped in a ball of paper was thrown into the courtyard wall next door.

The voice of reading stagnated for a while, and then moved closer to the courtyard wall. After a while, the ball of paper was thrown back again. This time, there were many more words than last time, and the handwriting seemed a little scribbled. Li Ning recognized it. After a while, I realized that the child was asking her what kind of kung fu she was practicing, whether she was very powerful, and whether she could beat people to death with one punch like the Liangshan bandits.

Li Ning had read the Water Margin here, and didn't like it very much. She realized that this kid had a strong curiosity about martial arts, so she hesitated for a while, and only replied: "Practicing martial arts is for strengthening the body."
