The waiter quickly led the two of them to a small private room on the second floor. The two younger ones were still in school today and did not come to join in the fun.

Looking down from the window, the street is almost full of people. Those outside want to come in and those inside want to get out. But I can only see the crowds and not the decrease in the flow of people.

Fortunately, there were many officers, soldiers and government officials outside the examination room to maintain order, not letting people get close, and leaving a certain amount of space for the students.

Before entering the examination room, everything will be carefully checked. Lin He even saw someone bringing steamed buns, and they were opened to see if there was anything hidden inside, or whether the pen holder could be opened.

"The inspection is really strict."

It is even worse than the college entrance examination of later generations.

Li Changhui understood: "Since ancient times, there have been various ways of cheating in exams, and the methods of checking have also increased little by little."

However, the two of them took a few glances and started looking for Li Yu. Fortunately, they found the person without much effort.

At first glance, Li Yu is taller than most people. The 15-year-old boy is almost as tall as Li Changhui.

Lin He was very satisfied with this. When they first arrived at the Li family, Li Yu and Li Hao were both thin and small. Thanks to her in the past few years, they have a nutritionally balanced diet of fish, meat, eggs and vegetables, and the children are also getting smaller every year. Like this, running very fast.

When Li Yu finally squeezed near the examination room, showed the official his examination name badge, and was let in, Lin He couldn't help but stood by the window and waved.

"Yu'er!"

Lin He's voice was full of energy, from high to low, and instantly attracted the attention of everyone downstairs.

Li Yu looked back when he heard the sound and saw that his mother was very excited and clenched her fist hard: "Come on!"

It was as if she was the one taking the exam.

Lin He's exaggerated behavior and overly exposed excitement made the usually calm Li Yu's face heat up, but he still nodded vigorously.

Although I was too embarrassed to respond loudly like his mother, I still mouthed back: "Okay."

Then the queue started to enter the examination room.

At this moment, a middle-aged man was escorted out of the examination room in disheveled clothes by two guards.

"Let me go, what are you doing? Let me go quickly, ah!"

The struggling man was thrown out, wailing as he fell, and the two guards looked at him with disgust.

"Look at this person. In order to cheat, he actually wrote the content in advance to cover his pants. If we hadn't paid more attention, we would have almost been deceived!"

At this time, everyone saw the man who was thrown upside down. There was a large black patch on his trouser legs. From a distance, he thought he was dirty, but people who were closer could see it at a glance.

"Really, this is too shameless!"

"Fortunately, it was found out, otherwise it would be unfair to others if the cheater had passed the exam."

The crowd was talking a lot, especially the women who were married and had children. Even though the man was disheveled, he was still pointing openly, which made the man pick up the clothes on the ground in shame, squeeze into the crowd and run away.

Lin He was drinking tea upstairs and watching the excitement. When all the students entered the examination room, a total of seven candidates who were caught cheating were thrown out.

After reading it, Lin He was also satisfied: "It's really lively. If I had known, I would have come to see it before."

"We will wait and see next year. The examination room will be bigger and there will be more people."

Li Changhui was talking about Beijing.

Lin He was puzzled: "No way. I only knew that the inspection was strict before, but now I know that I have to take off my clothes for inspection. Don't those people know? Isn't this asking for death?"

Until she saw it with her own eyes, she never expected that the inspection would be so strict. Under such circumstances, cheating would be extremely difficult.Li Changhui was not surprised: "Normally, if you want to get ahead by relying on the imperial examination, you have to select only one talent from a million, especially the later you go, the more stringent the selection becomes."

"Now it's just a scholar exam, which is relatively easy. However, there are many scholars in the world who have taken the exam all their lives and are still scholars. Some who can't wait, or who know that their qualifications are limited, will inevitably take chances."

That's true. Since ancient times, so many people have wanted to get ahead by studying, but only a few people can really leave their names in history. It's really not easy.

After the two of them saw the excitement, it was getting late, so they simply ordered something to eat at the restaurant.

While the two were eating and chatting, a person suddenly came over at the door of the private room.

"Master Li, Mrs. Li? So there are really two of them?"

It was actually Manager Wang.

The steward seems a little busy recently, and there is nothing going on in the vineyard. I haven't seen him for almost ten days.

Behind Manager Wang, there were two other people. Lin He didn't know them, but he had seen them before. They were also businessmen in the city.

"Manager Wang, are you here to discuss business?"

Manager Wang said with a smile: "Yes, the master recently asked me to help collect a batch of medicinal seeds. It just so happens that one of these two is in the medicinal material business and the other is in the mountain goods business."

Most medicinal seeds have to be obtained in the mountains, and it is easier for these two bosses to obtain them.

Lin He thought to himself that Jin Rong was fast enough, but he smiled and said: "I see, then you should get busy first."

Steward Wang quickly left with the people. Lin He vaguely heard one of them asking Steward Wang if he was familiar with the Li family.

Lin He and Li Changhui looked at each other, smiled at each other, and said nothing.

The two of them didn't tell anyone else about growing medicinal herbs. They just sent a letter from Fei Ge to tell them, so Manager Wang didn't know that this matter actually had something to do with them.

But there is no need to put it bluntly, left and right are not important.

After lunch, the downstairs had already dispersed, and it would be nine days before it became lively again.

It takes nine days to take the exam and nine days to pass the results. Basically at the end of the month, they will leave Nanzhi County and set off for the capital.

After returning home, the two discussed letting brothers Li Hao and Li An drop out of school first.

During the last period of time, the two brothers were allowed to have fun in Nanzhi County. After all, the next time they come back will probably be many years later.

Might not even come back again.

Li Changhui had no objection. After the brothers returned home in the evening, Lin He also told them about the incident, and both brothers were very excited.

As for the sadness of leaving home?
It was nothing at all, but full of expectations.

It's not the first time to move. How many times have we moved?

Especially for Li Yu and Li Hao, they lived with their grandparents at first. After their parents came back, they moved to the old house, then to the town, and then to the county seat.

Every time they move, it means that their family's life is getting better and better, and there is no homesickness, only admiration for their parents.

The capital, that’s the capital!

When I was a kid, I couldn't even go to the town, but now I can actually go to the capital, where the emperor lives!
Just say that if it were any kid from a mountain village, who wouldn’t be excited?
Unconsciously, I finally reached 100 million words. Although most of them are daily life, the original outline was also set at 150-200 million words. So far, two-thirds of the plot has been completed. It is not easy, but there is a need. Let me explain, the author is a scumbag, with limited writing skills and limited IQ. He can’t write about court battles or the ups and downs of the business world, so probably, it should always be about the daily life of farming. Forgive me.
