Chapter 93
Within two days of the county test, the annual test began.

This is the first time since Liangyan founded the dynasty that the examination room is full of scholars, and there are no children accompanying her.

In the late afternoon, many people gathered in front of the tribute courtyard.There are many people with gray hair and beards, and they all come here accompanied by their families.

Li Hui knew that this other world was different from the ancient times he knew, but the difference still surprised him.

This year's annual examination is supervised by the government office and county office together.From the moment they entered the examination room, they were inspected layer by layer. Some elderly people walked in alone and trembled when they walked.

"Father, do you think those old grandpas can hold brushes steadily?"

Listening to his son's question, he also wanted to know.At the beginning of the new dynasty, it was built to stabilize people's hearts and forgive everywhere. It is indeed time to tighten up.

"Brother Xin, next year there will be two exams at the county and government levels, you should take part."

Yan Yixin stared in surprise and asked in disbelief:

"Uncle, can I?"

"should be no problem."

Li Hui is still very confident in tutoring him in the junior student exam.Li Heng is just too young, he has to wait a few more years.It's easy to be missed if you show your edge too early. This time, Du Pingren is very worried.Zhou Fei's side... Anyway, the family has power, so it shouldn't be affected.

According to the regulations of the Liangyan Dynasty, the three examinations of the county government and the township examination must be taken in the ancestral home, and the general examination and palace examination need to go to the capital.Before the examination, there is another selection, which is the same as the examination, once every three years.

While chatting, Wang Sen came over——

"Brother came early?"

"How are you preparing? Have you written all those questions?"

Li Hui unreservedly shared the exam questions Chen Master bet on with Wang Sen and Du Pingren.

"Some have written, some can't. When Brother Xiao comes back, I'm going to ask him."

Li Hui nodded with a "hmm", "We're going back first, and you should go early too."

"Brother Li, why did you come to our house for dinner? My parents have always wanted to thank your family and Brother Xiao."

"Don't worry, we'll talk about it later. It's an extraordinary time, so you have to pay attention to what you eat. Try not to go out to eat."

"Well, I took note."

Li Hui patted him on the shoulder and told the children to leave.

A few days later, the year-old exam was over and the results were released, and Pingyang County was completely "earthquake".

All the epiphytes were admonished by the ruler at the gate of Tengfei Academy.There are also a large number of unqualified ones, all of whom posted the list and took back the title of scholar.What's more serious is that many teachers who applied for ethnology in each village were taken by these unqualified masters. It is conceivable that the study of seedlings in the past few years will be delayed.

The actions of Pingyang County sounded the alarm to other states, prefectures and counties in Liangyan Dynasty.It was also because of this "feat" that Liangyan completely separated the annual examination from the college examination in the future, forming the unique scientific examination system of the Liangyan Dynasty.

The hospital examination is coming soon, and all the inns and post stations in the county are full.

Cheng Xue has been very busy these days, preparing things and buying silver charcoal.

Fortunately, she made an early move, brought Wang Sen, Du Pingren, and Zhou Fei, and bought them all.

There are some slow-response charcoal, not to mention silver charcoal, even low-quality charcoal is not available.

Although the temperature will get warmer in March, it is still very cold in the morning and evening, especially in the recent cold spring, and the children are all wearing thin cotton coats.Candidates who participated in the college examination all took the scientific examination in the open-air Gongyuan. No matter how much they wore, it would be choking without charcoal.

At first Zhou Fei had a flat attitude towards Li Hui, but because of his daughter-in-law's not keeping secrets, he took the initiative to ask Xiao Qinglin to bring him to Li Hui's house for a visit, and brought a lot of thank you gifts.He is the younger brother of Xiao Qinglin's classmate. He is seventeen this year and his ancestral home is here, so he came back for scientific research.

Cheng Xue looked at the generous thank you gift, and directly reprimanded Xiao Qinglin:
"You don't stop him from the sidelines, just let him throw away the money? It costs money to come all the way here for scientific research."

"Oh, sister-in-law, it's not an outsider. Besides, if it wasn't for you, he would have been frozen for this scientific examination. My sister-in-law doesn't know, it's hard to buy charcoal now, and the price is still high. Why is Pingyang County like this?"

"It should be like this everywhere, but you are in the capital and everything is taken care of, so I don't know." Cheng Xue reminded.

How can decent royal relatives go crazy over a few baskets of silver charcoal?

Zhou Fei got up, cupped his fists and said:

"Sister-in-law, please don't be too polite. As Brother Qinglin said, if it wasn't for your help, I would have been frozen this time."

This was the first time he came to Li Hui's house, he thought that the rural man was lucky enough to save the nobleman, so he came to where he is today.I didn't expect him to be narrow-minded. From the etiquette of the five children, it can be seen that the origin of the Li family is not as bad as imagined.

From this point of view, a simple person also has the judgment ability of a simple person, and Li Hui can definitely make friends.

Gentle and humble, with a humble attitude, he is completely different from before.

Cheng Xue smiled and didn't refuse, she politely responded, and put him on the list of refusing to associate with him.

Eyes full of calculations, not to be friends with, no wonder Li Hui seldom mentions him at home.

"Brother Li, tomorrow I have an appointment with Yu Cheng, Shu Yi and the others. Are you coming too? Have a meal and get together."

Before Li Hui could answer, Xiao Qinglin spoke directly:
"Are you going out to eat soon after the scientific examination? Are you afraid of accidents? Your wife will let you?"

Zhou Fei paused after hearing the words, then shook his head with a smile.

"Seeing what brother Qinglin said, how can my wife interfere with my decision? What's more, the scientific examination is coming soon, and it's only natural for me to go out to relax. Otherwise, if I get too tense, something will happen."

"Thank you Jingyu for your kindness, I won't go. Your sister-in-law recently gave me an order not to go out and eat hazel."

The reason for such a polite refusal made Zhou Fei astonished, as if he was hallucinating.Even though he was newly married, his wife didn't dare to dictate his affairs, so how could Li Hui's wife intervene?
"You heard me right. My brother said that my sister-in-law disagreed. In my brother's house, my sister-in-law is the head of the family. Also, you can do whatever you want after the scientific examination. It's better to be careful now. The medicine hall is not complete. Don't make a fuss."

"……Yeah, I got it."

Although he answered, the resistance on his face was not concealed at all.

Xiao Qinglin didn't bother to persuade him, and he wasn't his own brother.The classmate asked him to take care of him more, reminded him when it was time to remind, and Yintan also implemented it because of his sister-in-law's relationship, as for the rest, he will not be in charge.

Zhou Fei, who was really bored, just found a reason to get up and leave.Xiao Qinglin didn't leave, so he stayed here to eat.

When Li Hui came back after seeing off his family, he saw his daughter-in-law preparing lunch in the outer room, while Xiao Qinglin was lying on the kang in the inner room, playing with Li Tian and Li Huai.

"What's your situation, are you not leaving?"

"Let me stay for a while. The second uncle dragged me out to meet people every day these days. I'm too tired." After finishing speaking, he raised his voice and said, "Sister-in-law, I want to eat stewed noodles with pickled vegetables and minced meat."

"Understood, let's do it." Cheng Xue responded while scooping up noodles from a basin.

Li Hui shook his head speechlessly, sat aside and shivered:
"You really don't treat yourself as an outsider, you order food as soon as you come."

"Hey, who made sister-in-law hurt me! Little four, I'm here to catch you..."
