The country is not as pretty as the beauty

The state examination is an examination for ordinary non-academic candidates to obtain the qualifications to participate in the imperial examination, and only the top 36 are selected.

The top three are the first class, the top ten, the second class, and so on. Liu Huan married into Xue's family and had a daily meal. She was not used to it at first, but now she is much better.

The road was chosen by her, so she has no complaints or regrets.Knowing that she was wronged, Xue Li worked three times as much to study books every night, and did farm work during the day. Now in the midsummer of more than July, the millet seedlings and wheat seedlings in the fields are the most lush. Unlike the south, there is less rain in the north, so the crops are different. , The need for water is not so much, and in the north, millet is the most widely used, and wheat is the most widespread, and the more wheat is in the future, while rice is the most widely used in the south.

Xue Li multi-purposes a day, working during the day, studying at night, facing the loess during the day, and getting tanned in summer, but it is not normal for a man. The northerners are rough and rough, while the southerners are mostly tanned. Femininity, since the founding of the Northern Kingdom, many men love beauty, and instead of magnificence, they regard softness as beauty.

But when Xue Li was standing next to other people working in the fields, the woman was a woman, and she would not be so dark, but compared with Liu Huan, she was still a bit darker.

Knowing Xue Li's hard work, Liu Huan also felt very distressed, but Xue Li blocked her from seeking help from the Liu family.The attitude of the Liu family has always been unwelcoming, and they were so difficult when they returned home. Even when they came to visit, they always gossiped and hated this, which made Xue Li very bored. Fortunately, the state test was coming soon, and the attitude of the Liu family was better. Because they may know that Xue Lizhi can become famous in one fell swoop, and when it comes to the imperial examination, it is just around the corner to become an official in the court.

The imperial examination is so important that there is still a relationship of closeness, let alone the self-examination of the state capital?They are all based on relationships, and the quotas are more expensive than gold. Fortunately, Liu Huan belongs to the Liu family, and if they don't look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, the Liu family will take care of Xue Li to some extent.

Taking advantage of the slack season, Liu Huan brought Xue Li back to Liu's house. Xue Li was extremely reluctant to go to Liu's house, but his wife was too stubborn, how could she be inferior to this woman.

"The lady and the gentleman are back, let me report it, ah Lang!" Seeing his young lady came back, she was naturally happy to see that she had received Liu Huan's favor before she left the house.

"Xue Lang, don't talk while I'm talking to Father."

Xue Li doesn't understand

"Why? Is it because he doesn't like me?"

Liu Huan shook her head: "Forget it, I'll go and talk to Father alone."

This made Xue Li even more confused

"Huan'er has something to hide from me? If there is any inconvenience to tell me, naturally I won't ask more."

Liu Huan glanced at Xue Li with deep eyes. She knew that Xue Li was indeed much better than herself in terms of etiquette, but she would not bother to ask questions, so it would be even more embarrassing for Liu Huan to say nothing.

"You will know when you see your father in a while."

Knowing that her daughter came back, Liu Zhao and Mrs. Liu went out to greet her in person. Naturally, they were full of enthusiasm when facing their daughter, and they also changed from usual when facing Xue Li.

In the lobby, he ordered his servants to make some refreshing soup and tea for the two of them.

"The weather is hot, and the distance is not too short. Why don't you hire a sedan chair?"

Liu Huan smiled at the corner of her mouth and didn't answer, but Xue Li took it for granted.

"The state test is due in a few days, Zigui, are you sure?"

Calling Xue Li by his name instead of his name directly changed his attitude very quickly.

"If one knows one's lack of talent in etiquette, one should make up for it with diligence. If there is no mistake, it should be feasible."

Liu Zhao nodded in satisfaction.

"Father, is this why the daughter came here?"

"I know, I have my own arrangements for Zigui's exam. You don't have to worry about it. Just wait for the day when the list is announced."

Xue Li realized that he wanted to give him a back door, but Xue Li learned etiquette since he was a child, so don't do anything wrong with etiquette.He is talented and has real talent, and he should get fame based on his talent, not on relationships. If so, what is the use of him reading sage books for so many years, and what is the use of him being so non-stop day and night? This is a disgrace to literati. Big shame.

"If my father wants to give a gift to entrust relationship, I absolutely cannot accept the gift. You can only seek fame by studying hard and practicing hard. You just hope that one day you will be successful. Xue Li absolutely cannot do this improper act now."

It was a friendly conversation at first, but this Xue Li was too ignorant, which made Liu Zhao furious.

"What do you know? How easy is it to take the township exam? It's not easy to get the name of the township tribute. What's the use of relying on talent alone? Can't you, Xue Li, understand the Longevity Heaven? This is the heaven of the nobles, not you scholars. God."

Although the imperial examination system in the Su Dynasty has no restrictions on family status, not everyone can participate. There are only students and tributes. The Imperial Examinations of the DPRK were changed to collect a large number of talents, but the shortcomings were inevitable. The situation that there were no poor families in the upper ranks and no noble families in the lower ranks still existed, but compared with the previous ones in the Northern Kingdom, it was greatly improved.

"Li doesn't know what the Longevity Heaven is, but he only knows that it is a piece of heaven that is on the same roof as the noble person in his father's mouth."

"You..." Liu Zhao was completely enraged, he patted the table and stood up, pointing at Xue Li.

"The old man will see how you hold up the sky above your head, and see if your sky will take care of you."

After speaking, she shook her sleeves and left. Liu Huan looked at her and shook her head. She already knew that Xue Li should not be brought here, but if she didn't bring Xue Li, if she found out that the state test was a delay in the relationship, wouldn't Xue Li go crazy go.

"You don't know it, we are kind enough to help you for Huan'er's sake, but you are like this? Have the heart to make our family Huan'er suffer with you." Mother Liu also complained that Xue Li didn't understand human feelings

"Mother, Xue Lang is a straightforward person, and he doesn't see these deceptions." Liu Huan hurriedly spoke for Xue Li.

"I can't see that he's going to be deceitful and he's going to be promising. It's just hard for you. Why did you choose such a family? Blame your grandfather for pointing out such a marriage for you."

"Daughter doesn't think there is anything wrong. I am in harmony with Xue Li and his wife, and Xue Lang treats me very well, and he doesn't want me to suffer. Look at other noble sons, who spend a lot of time outside, and the wives at home are jealous .”

What Liu Huan said was also true, Xue's family was not well off, but Xue Li also couldn't bear her to endure hardship, she was so tired and dirty that she did it all by herself, even if Xue's mother was dissatisfied sometimes, Xue Li still did the same.

"Please rest assured, mother, Xue Li will not stop here for the rest of his life, nor will he stay in Jiangzhou for the rest of his life. Xue Li's heart lies in the world, but Xue Li's love is only in my wife." Liu Huan's heart warmed up, and a blush appeared on her face, how could Mother Liu not know what her daughter was thinking?So, she wasn't making things difficult for Xue Li, but I'm afraid the Liu family won't intervene in this state test.

They stayed for a day for a short stay. Because the farm work in the field still needs to be taken care of, the two hurried back.

In the past few months of marriage, although Liu Huan didn't suffer much, she was not as good as the Liu family.Therefore, the Liu family was quite dissatisfied. What's more, this time, Xue Li's ignorance made Liu Zhao and Liu Huan's brothers worry about Liu Huan. Wouldn't it be like this for a lifetime?

But Xue Li didn't think so. Han Chuang had studied hard for many years, and spent all his family's wealth just to support her in studying, so that she could be promising in the future, how could she live up to it?She is determined to win the state examination. A sorcerer once told her that with Xue's literary talent, literary talents can be worshiped by ministers, and martial arts can be promoted to generals.

The day of the township examination is approaching. For ordinary people, there are no scholars at home, so this kind of life is dispensable, and they don’t care too much. Generally, those who can study are mostly lower-class gentry. Although they are lower-class, they are still gentry. Some, so whenever the township examination is approaching, it is essential to visit the township and county government.

On the way back, Xue Li looked at the sky above his head. The sun came out on purpose today, so he was afraid that they had to work hard on the road. The blue sky was so dazzling in Xue Li's eyes. Believe in yourself, believe in the king, believe in your parents, what is Changshengtian?When people are in trouble, it is useful to ask for it. It is better to ask for yourself than to ask for others, at least Xue Li thinks so.

As a result, the Liu family's estrangement from Xue Li became even wider, Liu Zhao became angry and threatened that if Xue Li failed the provincial examination, he would take Liu Huan back and sever ties with the Xue family.

Women's divorce?It has never happened in ancient and modern times. For the Xue family, this is a great shame, but for Liu Huan, once married, he will obey his husband. If he wants to marry again, who would be willing to marry a woman?Of course there are, and there are quite a few of them. Liu Zhao is very clear about this, that's why he said that, even though the status and prestige of the Liu family, that Liu Huan's outstanding appearance, and that kind of wisdom are the women of the Hedong family. Compared with it?

Now that Liu Zhao's words came out, I'm afraid that everyone in Hedong will know about today's events, and those who like Miss Liu's family can't take it calmly.

The author has something to say: Changshengtian is the highest god of nomadic clans in northern Mongolia. The location of Jiangzhou is in today’s Shanxi. Yunzhong and Baidao are in Jiangzhou, close to Turks. The Guanlong Group is left over from the Northern Wei Dynasty. The military aristocrats, after the integration of the North and the South... have talked a lot of nonsense, let's not talk about it, this pair is pushed by CP.

I mentioned it a little bit before, I don’t know if you still remember it.
