Tibet

Chapter 88 The Eve of the Rematch
Although Pei Sanniang received three thousand coins in compensation, she was not happy. Instead, she was worried that if she provoked the powerful, she might suffer endless troubles.

Li Ye persuaded his mother for a long time, the house was accumulated with a little bit of hard-earned money, so why just burn it down.

If you burn your own house, compensation is justified.

Pei Sanniang was finally persuaded by her son and accepted [-] guan in compensation, but she decided to sell the old house in Yonghefang, and the fire burned her memory, so she didn't remember it anymore.

Pei Sanniang decided to sell it cheaply, and was burned twice, which is not auspicious anyway.

The next day, Li Xun's mother Ding invited Li Ye's family to dinner.

Ding originally planned to have a treat at the best Nanpi Tavern in the workshop, but Pei Sanniang politely declined.

It happened that Li Xun's father was still in Gaoling County to handle the handover, and there was no male master at home, so he simply had a light meal at home, which was more harmonious.

Li Xun's family can be said to have three joys, the first joy is that Li Xun's mother's sores were cured by Pei Sanniang, and she has gradually recovered.

Er Xi was transferred back from the Gaoling County manor by his father, and became the steward of the three Anranju restaurants. His monthly salary rose from six to ten per month. With the addition of the family allowance, their monthly income was ten. Five guan, plus some other benefits, the annual income is also [-] guan.

The third joy is that Li Xun got the opportunity that Li Ye gave him. He could go to Mingde College to study, and immediately transferred there. He first studied in the lower college for half a year, and then transferred to the upper college for two years.

The third joy is to make their family ecstatic. With the guidance of a famous teacher in Mingde College, coupled with Li Xun's own hard work, the possibility of being admitted to the Mingjing Department is very high.

Of course, it was a half-joy. Li Xun's 11-year-old sister Li Xiaohe made a medicine boy for Pei Sanniang. His mother Ding was tortured by illness for two years. Of course, he hoped that the children in the family would know some medical skills.

Pei Sanniang was reluctant at first, Li Xiaohe was also Xiangguo's granddaughter, how could she hire Xiangguo's granddaughter as a drug boy?

But Ding was born as a commoner, and she never took the identity of Xiangguo's granddaughter seriously. She felt that her family was no different from a commoner?Ding insisted again and again, but Pei Sanniang had no choice but to agree.

The house of Li Xun’s family is actually not bad. The land is divided into eight parts, the yard is not big, and there are many houses. It is divided into east and west yards. The east yard is for his son Li Xun, and the west yard is for Li Xun’s parents and two daughters. Living, there is also a rough envoy maid at home.

Li Ye visited Li Xun's small courtyard and said with a smile, "I only see Xiao He, is your sister married?"

Li Xun nodded, "My brother-in-law is Xinping County Captain, and he passed the Ming Jing Ke test last year, and I plan to take the Ming Jing Ke test too."

"What's the difference between Mingjing and Jinshi?" Li Ye asked with a smile.

"Ming Jing is mainly a memory test. If you have a particularly good memory and can memorize the Four Books and Five Classics and other famous scholars, you can basically pass the test.

The scriptures of the Jinshi examination are relatively simple, and the scores are more focused on poetry and Fu, so older scholars will choose Jinshi subjects, and their memory is not good, so there is a saying that there are thirty old Mingjing and fifty young scholars. "

Li Ye was puzzled and said, "I think it's easier to test Ming Jing Ke!"

Li Xun shook his head, "How could it be easy? Tens of thousands of people took the exam, but only less than a hundred people were admitted. The Mingjing exam has a lot of questions, and there is no time to think. You are required to be very proficient. If you make a mistake or miss a word, you will be eliminated." .

I still need to write ten scriptures and treatises, which means understanding the scriptures and writing countermeasures. This is what all scholars are most afraid of. I want to go to Mingde Academy because there are famous teachers there to guide and write scriptures and countermeasures.

Some scholars go out to travel to broaden their horizons in order to write a good strategy for current affairs. After traveling for several years, they are not familiar with the scriptures they read before. You choose according to your own situation. It's the same thing anyway, and you can't be an official even if you pass the exam. "

Li Ye was at a loss, "Why can't you be an official after passing the imperial examination?"

"It seems that you really don't understand that the imperial examination is an examination by the Ministry of Rites. After passing the examination, you only get fame and the qualification to be an official.

Going to Taixue to study can also gain fame, but you are not qualified to be an official. If you want to be an official, you must take the imperial examination.

of course!There are many advantages to gaining fame and fame. You don’t have to pay taxes, you don’t have to do hard labor, government officials in prefectures and counties can be hired first, you don’t have to kneel when you see officials, and you can go to government schools to teach. . "

Li Ye scratched his head, "And then, what should I do if I want to be an official?"

"If you want to become an official after passing the imperial examination, you have to pass the official selection examination by the Ministry of Officials, which is called Quanzhu to grant officials. , looks dignified, speech means eloquence and clear thinking, calligraphy means good calligraphy, and judgment means good writing of judgments."

"Listen to you, the official examination is not difficult!"

Li Xun smiled bitterly and said, "It sounds easy, but every year more than a hundred people pass the imperial examination, but only a dozen can become officials in the end. What do you think is the reason?"

"Limited number of appointments?"

"This is only one aspect. What's more important is that you have a relationship and a background! My brother-in-law passed the official examination because his grandfather said good things to him."

Li Ye suddenly thought of his father, Li Dai. Back then, he was admitted to the Mingjing Department and passed the official examination. When he was waiting to be appointed as an official, he offended Concubine Wu Hui and was deprived of the qualification to be an official.

Li Ye nodded and asked with a smile, "Can I become an official by playing polo?"

"Of course, playing polo can not only make money, but also get to know the rich and powerful. The rich and powerful recommend you to enter the palace as a bodyguard, and you can also be an official if you are a bodyguard, but you can only be a military officer. You don't mean you want to play polo! That's right. Practicing from an early age is not as easy as reading."

At this time, Pei Sanniang called Li Ye to go home, and Li Ye got up to leave, and Li Xun's family kept sending them out.

"Ye'er, what are you talking about with Li Xun?" Pei Sanniang asked with a smile.

"Talk about the imperial examination!"

Pei Sanniang asked curiously, "Could it be that you also want to take the imperial examination?"

Li Ye shook his head. What he was most afraid of in his previous life was endorsement, and it is the same in this life. If he is asked to take the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, he might as well not time travel.

The chat with Li Xun tonight made him completely lose his desire to follow the literary path.

At this moment, Li Ye suddenly didn't even want to go to the county school.

..........
After a month's rest, the polo league started again.

Starting from the rematch, there will be a knockout match. Ten teams will fight each other. The five winning teams will enter the second knockout round. , won the title of Tiangui and a reward of 1 guan, and at the same time won the qualification to challenge, and will compete with the leader Longwujun polo team for Tiankui.

Li Ye came to Gaolishi Mansion according to the agreed time, about a hundred steps away from the gate of the mansion, Li Ye took out the mask and put it on his face.

Li Ye was led to the locker room, each of them had their own room, which could be regarded as their dormitory.

The room is a suite, divided into two rooms, the inside and the outside. All kinds of furniture are complete, and there are soft and brand new bedding on the bed.

On the table was a new team uniform, a white samurai uniform with the word Tianpeng embroidered on the chest.

In fact, there are many people who wear this kind of samurai uniform, and they are all supporters of Tianpeng team.

During the official game, armor is also worn. The armor has three colors, which represent the seats on the court.

Li Ye had just changed into his uniform when someone knocked on the door. He hurried out, and the steward saluted just now: "The team leader invites you to come over, please come with me!"

Li Ye followed the steward to the lobby, and there were four people sitting in the lobby, all wearing the same team uniform and the same mask on their faces, it was impossible to tell who was who.

But Li Ye recognized Falcon at a glance. There was a large red mole on his chin, which was easy to identify. Falcon was the only player retained after the last game, and the other four were newly recruited.

Feng Quannong smiled and waved to Li Ye, and introduced to the other four, "This is Flying Shark, our main shooter."

Sure enough, after Feng Quannong said these words, Li Ye caught a flash of jealousy in Falcon's eyes. In the last game, he was the main shooter.
