Li Jin hugged Xiao Baozi directly in his arms, walked through the hanging flower door covered with a layer of white snow, and went to the study.

Although he didn't have many relatives and friends in the capital, there was one family that he had to personally send invitations to.

The little bun nestled in Li Jin's arms obediently. He had just woken up, and it was like a small stove in his arms.

After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, under normal circumstances, high-ranking households finish visiting relatives who are closer to each other, and then begin to receive New Year greetings from students or subordinates.

Li Jin was about to write a greeting card to the General's Mansion now. Although he was nominally the senior general's younger brother, his status was too disparate. Before that, Li Jin only sent a thank you gift to the door, and did not stay long.

Therefore, Li Jin didn't know that Pang Lao had even sent a letter to the General's Mansion, and that Second Master Mo also planned to meet him.

It's just because of the long distance. At that time, Mr. Pang's letter was already a month after Li Jin arrived in the capital.In a few days it will be the New Year's Eve, and the General's Mansion needs to communicate with many officials, and Second Master Mo has no skills at all.

At that time, Li Jin also ran to the dock of the Ministry of Industry every day, and there was no one in sight all day long.

This matter was wasted.

When Li Jin was writing the greeting card, Xiao Baozi was sitting on the sidelines reading a book, and after a while the hot goat's milk was brought over to the small tea, and he even mouthed his thanks, because making any noise would disturb his father.

After Li Jin finished writing, Xiao Baozi jumped off the chair and asked what he didn't understand.

Li Jin used popular language to explain many quotations from scriptures and scenes of relegation and dismissal in the poems.

About an hour later, Qin Muwen was just about to ask the father and son to have dinner. When he opened the door, he saw the upright husband walking by with the little bun in his arms.

The dots of snow on the cornices of the blue tiles seem to have become the embellishment of the man's beautiful scenery, which makes people unable to move their eyebrows.

Now Li Jin sent the greeting card in accordance with the etiquette, perfectly avoiding the busiest time of the General's Mansion.

No matter what, Second Master Mo had to spare time to entertain his father and elder brother's junior.

Originally, after the fifth day of the fifth day, students and subordinates did not need to be received by Second Master Mo in person, and the housekeeper could do everything.

Li Jin is neither a student nor a subordinate. Logically speaking, as the senior general's younger brother, he should be the one who came to the door before the fifth day of the junior high school.

But he didn't like grandstanding, instead he gave the general's mansion a junior gift, which made the old lady appreciate him even more.

Their General's Mansion never lacks people who want to cling to them. Li Jin's approach is just right, which can make people feel his sincerity and not embarrass the General's Mansion.

If Li Jin relied on being the old general's younger brother and directly asked to meet someone, it would be another result.

After the old lady read Li Jin's letter, she asked someone to put the letter on the old general's desk.

Her wife has liked calligraphy and calligraphy since she was a child. If she hadn't been born as a general and had to shoulder the responsibilities on her shoulders, the old general might have become a master of calligraphy like Pang Lao.

Li Jin is a man of talent, learning, character, sincerity in the letter, and good handwriting. The old lady is willing to accept him on behalf of the General's Mansion.

Second Master Mo and Mo Zixuan listened to the old matriarch's orders, one stared as big as a copper bell, and the other almost jumped off the stool.

The old lady didn't look at the two of them, she just said that she was tired and asked the maid to help her to rest behind.

Mo Zixuan was barely able to stand firm, when he heard his second uncle say: "You have practiced your hand-handling skills well."

Mo Zixuan: "...?"

In the next few days, Li Jin received a reply from the General's Mansion, asking him to meet at the book shop on the tenth day of the lunar new year.

Li Jin set off an hour earlier. Firstly, he walked slowly due to the slippery snowy road, and secondly, he planned to read other books in the bookstore first.

Coincidentally, I met a group of people from other provinces who came to Beijing to rush for the exam to buy books at the bookstore.

Most of them are dusty, the robes on their bodies look like they haven't been changed for a long time, and their hair is also full of oil.

Li Jin didn't pay much attention to them at first, so he looked for travel notes nearby.

His little husband has been writing for more than half a year, and the first volume of the travel notes full of imagination and exploration is being finalized.Li Jin wanted to know the number of volumes and the number of words in each volume in advance, so that he could discuss publishing the book with the shopkeeper in the future.

"That Li Jin is just a farmer, with two basic calculation scriptures, how is he so famous in the capital?"

Li Jin was only halfway through the book when he heard someone mention his name.

He heard a lot of such remarks when he first came to the capital, but after only ten years, they disappeared.

But the newcomers didn't know about Li Jin and Zhu Shan, they only heard that the books compiled by Li Jin could be found all over the capital, and they were very upset.

"Basic arithmetic. In terms of specific calculations, our dynasty is still a banker Han, and his book happens to include Nongsang arithmetic. Isn't this famous?"

"What a villain, opportunistic."

"Isn't it?"

"It's too much for him to manage his fame like this. Our Jun Zhuo is the real talent. He knows everything about piano, chess, poetry and painting, and he even saves money. Can Li Jin compare?"

The man named Jun Zhuo coughed, as a tacit consent.

The clerk at the book shop didn't know Li Jin, but when he heard these outsiders discussing him in this way, he couldn't help but say, "I don't know where you got the news from, it's all from more than a month ago, and you can Always on the lips."

Someone asked: "What, is that Li Jin's false face exposed? Everyone can make up this basic calculation, and he is opportunistic and doesn't want to order something with real connotation. It's really tricky."

The guy was speechless, feeling that these people couldn't hear the sarcasm in his words.

In fact, someone in that group of Juren sensed that something was wrong, but they were no match for their companions who didn't think well.

The clerk didn't bother to explain, so he just said, "I want to buy a book, a volume costs 350 liters, if you don't buy it, go to the teahouse opposite and listen to other people's opinions, and be careful not to speak out."

"how do I say this?"

The buddy didn't want to say more, he still remembered what the shopkeeper told him, some people are immersed in their own world, and as long as others don't match his ideas, it's wrong.

"When you encounter this kind of thing, it's fine if you don't speak, otherwise, if you explain too much, it will become long-winded."

Just in time, a man wearing the official robe of Du Shuiqing from the Ministry of Industry came in outside, "I remember that you have printed a lot of "Meng Xue Suan Jing" here, give me two sets..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Li Jin standing by the bookshelf, and directly cupped his hands, "Mr. Li, you are also at the General Mansion Bookstore, if you want to print something, go directly to our Ministry of Industry Bookstore .”

Saying this on the territory of the General's Mansion was a bit too offensive, so he quickly silenced it.

Li Jin raised the travel notes in his hand and said, "It's not printing, I'm reading travel notes."

"Our bookstore also has..."

As he approached, a brand-new official uniform felt very oppressive in front of a group of Juren whose clothes were crumpled into dry sauerkraut.

But he didn't pay attention to these people at all, and said: "Sir, you, take time to go to the Ministry of Industry. We will show you what you want to see. Watching while drinking tea is much more comfortable than standing here."

Li Jin refused with a smile.

The group of people stood aside, each holding a book and pretending to read it. Thinking of the buddy's sentence just now, "Misfortune comes from the mouth", they couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

They talk about anyone who has no official status in private, and others don't care.

But if it is discussed in front of officials, if you are really questioned, you may have to be punished.

They thought that the person who came in first to read the travel notes was not wearing an official uniform, and even the robe was relatively simple, so he didn't look like an official.

But the one who just arrived is obviously an official from the Ministry of Industry, he is so respectful to this plainly dressed boy...

A group of people were silently praying that this young man had nothing to do with Li Jin and would not fight for Li Jin.

After the officials from the Ministry of Industry left, Li Jin really ignored them and was still reading the travel notes.

While they breathed a sigh of relief, they never dared to forget to comment.At this moment, Li Jin estimated the time, and seeing that those people hadn't left, he could only put down the book in his hand, and said to the clerk, "I'm Li Jin, and I have an appointment with the shopkeeper at Sishi today, please introduce me."

He didn't want the situation to become like this, but he couldn't be punctual either.

This time, the group of people were dumbfounded again.

The man was also stunned by this scene, but the letter in Li Jin's hand did have the seal of the book shop, and he didn't care what the group of outsiders thought, so he hurriedly welcomed Li Jin upstairs.

Li Jin originally thought that the person who interviewed him was the shopkeeper of the book store or other managers, but after going upstairs, he found that the person who came was actually Mo Erye.

Second Master Mo remembered how his father couldn't help wanting to compete with him after seeing Li Jin's words, and treated Li Jin very politely.

When Mo Erye was a teenager, he walked sideways in the capital, and apart from being arrogant, he followed only one sentence, 'Don't bully the young and poor'.

At that time, he felt that he would be stronger than his father, and desperately wanted to prove himself.

Now that he is in his late thirties, naturally he will not underestimate Li Jin because of his young age.

At first, the communication was a bit awkward, but when it came to arithmetic, shipbuilding, and voyages, Second Master Mo became interested, and even asked Li Jin to draw drawings for him.

Clapping while watching: "This is good!"

The two talked for more than an hour, and when Li Jin went downstairs, the group of Juren had disappeared.Li Jin nodded to the buddy and walked home.

At the same time, the group of people huddled in the private room of the teahouse, discussing in low voices one by one.

"What can I do, it's really going to come out of my mouth..."

"Don't, don't panic. When we came out, didn't Xiaoer say that fortunately their bookstore is soundproof, and the shopkeeper can't hear it on the second floor. It just so happens that Mr. Li doesn't care about us."

The Jie Yuan named Jun Zhuo had already heard what Li Jin had done recently in the teahouse, and he was only in admiration in his heart.

He pondered for a while, and said: "Mr. Li doesn't care about us, it's because he is a big man. We have to show our sincerity. We are candidates who came to the capital earlier, and those who come later may make such mistakes. We have to stop them before they say something like that."

After all, Jun Zhuo is the leader of their provincial juren. When he said this, others echoed: "Jun Zhuo is right."

On the ninth day of next month, only 30 days left, Li Jin stopped the earth dragon in the study, leaving only a brazier.

He began to train his ability to resist freezing.

Although he usually took a cold shower, he still couldn't take it lightly.

Chunwei is no better than the previous county and hospital examinations. Chunwei has to take the exam for nine full days. There is no quilt at night. If the door panel of the number room is ventilated, you will definitely not be able to sleep at night.

You might wake up and find yourself with a fever.

Li Jin told his little husband that he would stay in the study room at night and put his body into this state in advance so as not to lose the chain during the exam.

He still remembered that he drank too much wine before, and was afraid of fuming him, and wanted to sleep in a separate bed at night. At night, the little husband came to him with a candle in his hands, so he had to communicate in advance.

In this situation, even though Qin Muwen feels distressed, he can only agree.

Li Jin rubbed his head and said only one word: "Good boy."
