"Gong... Congratulations, Mr. Rong Dejie... Yuan!" Luo Li raised his hand to He Xichao and congratulated him.

"The emperor is just tolerant." He Xichao waved his hand and handed him an invitation card with a smile, "Grandfather will host a banquet for me in three days. I don't have any special friends. If you are free, come and have a drink or two."

Luo Li was flattered, but he didn't accept the invitation. Instead, he said: "First... sir, kindly, students shouldn't refuse, but, but the day after tomorrow I... I should go back to my hometown..."

Speaking of this, Luo Li looked a little depressed.

He Xichao frowned in confusion, "What are you going to do when you go back, concentrate on studying?"

Luo Li shook his head, as if he didn't want to say more.

He Xichao said, "Your foundation is poor. I didn't go to high school this time as I expected. Does my hometown have a good teacher to guide me? If not, I won't be able to get the hang of it by studying behind closed doors at your level. It's better to stay in Beijing. I guide you."

Luo Li was moved when he heard this, "Sir..."

"The eldest prince has already entered politics, and I don't need to go to the palace to study with him. Next, I have to prepare for the exam in three years. I will have more time."

He Xichao's meaning was very clear, Luo Li was very moved, but at the same time he had a little doubt, "Sir, you...why are you...so nice to me? I'm... stupid, and stammering, everyone... everyone... It's saying, I... I don't deserve to be favored by your youth..."

"Who is that everyone who came to seek advice from Qiuzhi Study?"

Luo Li nodded.

"Fifty steps laugh at a hundred steps, in my opinion, they are all equally stupid."

Luo Li laughed, sadly finding that it made sense.

"When I make friends, I don't care about knowledge, I only seek eye-catching. Besides, I don't think you are stupid, and you are better than ordinary people in arithmetic. It's just that you don't understand Confucian classics."

"Student... the student's family runs a business, and since childhood, he has been interested in arithmetic, and only... this ability..." Luo Li said shamefully.

"So you still want to go back?" He Xichao looked at him and asked, "Are you still taking the imperial examination?"

Luo Li shook his head.

He Xichao was surprised, "You have already passed the examination of scholar, half of the fame, why not continue? Your family is not short of money, so you can't afford to study."

Luo Li was a little embarrassed to say it, but He Xichao treated people with sincerity, so he said it anyway.

"Students are ashamed, this...a scholar still dragged...dragging...a relationship to drop...a ​​back end of the car, and then go to the exam, it really takes...a bit of effort. The younger brother at home has...successful, what dad means...little brother Than the students will read...study, let...the younger brother stay in Beijing, and the students go back...follow the business."

"Your family seems to be in the tea business, and it's quite famous in the Jiangnan generation."

"Ashamed...ashamed."

He Xichao didn't care, instead he smiled at him, "You don't want to go back, or you wouldn't be so brave to ask me for advice that day. You know you are poor in knowledge, but you still want to fight."

Luo Li nodded with a wry smile, "Yes, I don't want to. My younger brother is... a concubine, the student doesn't... don't want to..."

He couldn't go on.

But He Xichao understood that the Luo family had a lot of money, and in order to keep the family business and even improve it, he definitely hoped that the descendants of the family would become officials and protect the business.But there is always a trade-off between the two sons. The eldest son is obviously not as good as the younger son in studying, and the hope of winning the exam is slim, so he naturally went back to start a business with his father.Providing all the resources to the youngest son, it will be easier for the imperial examination to become an official and leave the relationship, and it will save the family embarrassment.

From the interests of the family, such an arrangement is the best.But for Luo Li alone, his situation is embarrassing.

So he didn't want to go back, but he didn't win the exam, and he couldn't compare with his younger brother. It seemed that he could only follow his father's arrangement.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and He Xichao understands it very well.

He didn't seem to have any reason to force him to stay, but there was one thing he was curious about, "You have a stutter, as far as I know in business, you should be quick with your words first, otherwise it will be bad for negotiations, so your father will let you go back?"

He Xichao has always been straightforward with Luo Li, and Luo Li was not annoyed at being directly exposed to his flaws, but he said embarrassedly: "Students can't speak... But, it's okay to pay the bills. For business, there is a shopkeeper , Dad is still... young."

He Xi raised his eyebrows, "Then why don't you take the exam a few more times, what if you pass the exam? It's not bad if you have a double exam, or is it your brother who doesn't like it?"

Luo Li thought of the letter from his hometown and fell silent.

It's also a disagreement between the concubine and the concubine. He Xichao didn't know the younger brother of the Luo family, so he naturally leaned towards Luo Li. He put down the teacup and said, "If you really don't want to go back and want to take the exam again, I have a suggestion."

"Please... please tell me, sir."

"I have a position here. The grade is not high, but it is considered half an official. Just ask your father, His Royal Highness appreciates you and invites you to work in the Palace of the King of England. Will he agree?"

"Ah!" Luo Li opened his mouth in shock, "Ying, His Royal Highness?"

"That's right, I've reserved a position as an accountant for you." He Xichao said indifferently, "Isn't the purpose of taking the Jinshi exam to become an official and gain access? Then, do you want the King of England's access?"

"Yes, sir, you, can you represent, represent, Ying, Ying, Ying..." The more excited Luo Li became, the more he couldn't speak clearly.

He Xichao was tired of listening, and said directly: "I'm just in charge, I can talk, so don't worry, you can write to ask."

"This, I, can, am I competent? First, sir, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I'll embarrass you."

"As long as the accounting management is clear, there is no need to talk about it, or do you have to think about it? Also, doing things will always delay homework, and I will give you an answer in three days." He Xichao said tolerantly.

Luo Li immediately shook his head, "No, student, yes, my father... will definitely, definitely agree."

Being able to directly lead to the prince's door, Mr. Luo was insanely happy.Luo Li didn't expect that he would catch He Xichao's attention when he had the guts to stop him, so he felt both lucky and happy.

Ever since his younger brother became a scholar, Luo Li has been taken less and less seriously. He is not stupid, but he suffers from being unable to change.If he could work in the Royal Palace, his status in the family would rise rapidly, and his mother would be very pleased.

Thinking of this, Luo Li stood up and bowed to He Xichao, "Student, I will... do my best to live up to your...expectation, and, with His Royal Highness, the King of England appreciates it."

"Okay. The King's Mansion has not been completed yet, so I guess it will take a year or so before I take office."

Luo Li naturally had no objection.

Once the stone in his heart fell to the ground, Luo Li's frowning round face became happy, and he said, "First, sir, there is something I have to tell you, student."

"You said."

"You, you left the Gongyuan ahead of time, the emperor, and appointed you to be Xie Yuan... Everyone, everyone said that it was the eldest, and the eldest prince was doing favoritism for you, saying, interceding. This is not, it is not fair, I want , to ask for an explanation, you have to be careful."

"It's normal for those who fail to have resentment." He Xichao said that it's okay. The provincial examination is not like the general examination, which is related to the selection of officials based on the ranking. Except for No.1 and the last place will be affected by He Xichao, there is no difference in the rest.

The former didn't know the title of Yuan, and the latter had to take the exam again, but in order to take into account the fairness this time, the emperor ordered the examiner to admit one more, so apart from the ranking, it really didn't affect it.

There will be people who are filled with righteous indignation, but they just don't feel resentful and congratulate Xichao that the eldest prince is running around fighting for him behind his back, or they are fishing in troubled waters to seek harm to others and benefit themselves.

Geniuses are envied by others, He Xichao understands them very well.

Luo Li said: "Sir, I'm afraid...I'm afraid I don't know, the students heard that someone is... jointly petitioning the censor, petitioning, begging, begging the emperor...disqualify sir."

He Xichao frowned slightly, he didn't want to care about it at first, but in a blink of an eye, he thought about Xiao Hong's opening soon, what if people with ulterior motives were attracted to Xiao Hong?He could not care about his own reputation, but he couldn't let Xiao Hong be scolded again.

Think about the time when he threatened Xu Zhi because of his impatience, which aroused Shilin's fury, and Emperor Tiangan had to beat the eldest prince to calm the scholar's grievances.

If it is not done well this time, it may also cause embarrassment. Xiao Hong's reputation among scholars is already quite bad, so he can't let another hat of interfering in the imperial examination fall down.

Although Xiao Hong was pleading for him.

Thinking about this, He Xichao thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Luo Li, I'm thinking of a review book, which will focus on various types of examination questions in the college and township examinations, and explain the important and difficult points like in the Knowledge Study Room. When the time comes, it will be completed and published. Anyone want it?"

"Mister is going to publish a book?" Luo Li was both surprised and delighted.

He Xichao said humbly: "It's not a book, just a review material. I'll organize my own notes and combine years of experience in exam questions to come up with an experience."

Luo Li hurriedly said: "Student, please give me a copy! Sir, you are a great talent, you have so many notes... No matter how many people want to ask for it, you can't ask for it! You are so noble and selfless!" This time the speech was really smooth.

Just selfless?

He Xichao was naturally not that kind, he nodded slightly, "Since someone wants it, then it's easy. You can do something for me. This information will be a book in a month. All candidates who fail the provincial examination, no, As long as the candidates for the provincial examination want this material, they can go to your place to register and sign with the identity of the candidate, and when it is printed, it will be given away free of charge according to the registration, no more, no sale, only for these three days."

In this way, let's see who else will jointly impeach him in the end?He Xichao smiled slightly and served tea and water.

"By the way, if you can't explain clearly, please ask Fang Jun to help you."

Luo Li nodded again and again, and excitedly led the errand away.

Luo Li wasn't worried that no one wanted it at all, he sent people to various inns and academies to talk about it, and there were scholars rushing to ask for verification and signature.

"Really, is it He Jieyuan's notes?" Everyone would ask this question.

Fang Jun could explain at first, but in the end he didn't bother to talk, so he wrote a notice and pasted it at the door of the Qiuzhi Study. Difficulties explained... At the end, there is He Xichao's signature and seal.

If you want, go to the second floor and bring your ID card to make a reservation.

This spread ten, ten spread a hundred, and more and more people came, and some of them didn't take part in this rural examination, but they were embarrassed to ask if they could order a copy.

"Any amount of money is fine, please help me."

He Xichao is a legend. Throughout history, how many people were able to enter the eyes of the emperor at a young age?Although they had never seen He Xichao's papers, they knew that they must be astonishingly talented after thinking about it.Even if he is not a Jinshi, no one doubts that he will fail in three years, and even speculates that he will be the number one scholar.

It is natural to get his experience notes, although not comparable to him, it will definitely be of great benefit.

Luo Li and Fang Junben also refused, because He Xichao only explained the exam for this township examination, but there were too many people who came to inquire, and some even wanted to ask for a copy for their children who had just entered school.

"Then go ask sir?"

After He Xichao thought for a while, "Then set aside one hundred more copies, first come, first served."

On the same day, as soon as the one hundred copies were released, they were immediately pre-ordered.

As soon as the news that the examinees jointly asked the censor to impeach He Xichao had reached the Duke's mansion, He Xichao's exam materials had already been booked.

Does He Xichao deserve the name of Jie Yuan? How likely is it to jointly ask the emperor to withdraw his qualifications?

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that the emperor's golden words are not so easy to change.

After signing the name jointly, how can I be ashamed to ask for a book? Once I compare the names, wouldn't it be shameful and despised by both ends?

If you say that you don’t need books if you are stubborn, but in case there are true insights in it, which are beneficial to the scientific examination, and other candidates have their own, wouldn’t it be a big disadvantage?Already lost, is it possible to lose again in three years?Thinking about it this way, it is natural that one's own interests are more important.

So the so-called joint name is gone.

Afterwards, He Xichao's celebration banquet arrived.

The author has something to say: System: Congratulations to the host for capturing a candidate for the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, please train him well and strive to take office as soon as possible.

He Xichao: Just one is not enough, my company has an entire financial team.
