Travel to ancient times and make a fortune

Chapter 93 The exam begins
Shopkeeper Wu had received instructions from Shaodong's family very early on and prepared a place for Li Dashan and his family to live in in advance. It was the small courtyard before his home. The original tenant had quit the lease years ago, so he had kept the house.

Since it was neither early nor late, shopkeeper Wu only let the family eat some simple snacks first, and told the people below, Xu Shizhong, to prepare meals from the building and deliver them to the courtyard, and then left with the family.

The small courtyard is very close to Jixiang Restaurant, which is only a quarter of an hour away by oxcart. Moreover, shopkeeper Wu said that it is not far from the examination room for the subsequent county examination, and it only takes about two quarters of an hour to walk.

The yard is not big, similar to the house Li Dashan's family rented in the town, but it is very complete and tidy, and it has obviously been tidied up.

"Don't worry, the mattresses and quilts in every room here have been washed and dried. I've also asked people to prepare enough meat and vegetables for two days." Shopkeeper Wu took a few people for a brief tour. said.

"It's so troublesome for you!" Li Dashan said sincerely.

Isn't this right?They have never been to the county town, so they should have taken a dark look, but now everything is going smoothly, thanks to the help of shopkeeper Wu!
"Brother Li, you're welcome!" Shopkeeper Wu said with a smile, "The young master's family was passing by here on their way back to Beijing, and they sent someone to send a message, telling them to make arrangements for Young Master Li. Just relax!"

"Besides, I have taken a lot of kirin fruits from your house this year. I have been looking forward to meeting Brother Li for a long time. Now, I finally have a chance!"

Li Xiao saw that his father and shopkeeper Wu were having fun chatting, so he said something to them and took his mother to leave first.

This time she and her mother will stay with her eldest brother for a while until the county examination is over.

So I brought some luggage, and I had to pack it up quickly before dawn.

The mother and daughter had just finished cleaning up when they heard noises coming from the yard. The waiter from Jixiang Restaurant brought the food over.

Shopkeeper Wu was said to have left for a while. Li Dashan took the food and thanked the waiter again.

It was completely dark, and a few lanterns were hung on the porch, making the yard look much brighter.

Li Yuan had already lit the lamp and laid out the food in the small kitchen. The few people who had been running around all day sat down and started to cook.

Early the next morning, Li Dashan got up early and hurried home.

Li Qingzhu looks after the house alone. Although he will not go hungry, he is still a half-grown child after all. The pile of housework is probably too much for him, and he has to go back quickly.

The county examination begins on the eighth day of February, with five consecutive examinations lasting two and a half days.

The results will be released three days after the exam. Li Xiao and the others plan to stay here until the results are released. Li Dashan will come one day in advance to take them back to the village.

The days waiting for the county examination passed quickly, and soon the day for the examination came.

In Dali, county examinations are not allowed to leave the examination room in the middle of two examinations on the same day. Candidates must prepare lunch and leave after the second examination of the day.

During the exam days, Li Yuan was extremely careful about his food so as not to affect Li Qingsong's exam due to food.

Rong County is not a big place, but there are really many people taking part in the children's examination!

Although you don't see white-haired old people, there are still many people in their thirties and forties. In comparison, Li Qingsong is really a little kid.

The entrance inspection was very strict. The yamen officials in front of the examination room gate were divided into eight teams. It took nearly half an hour to check all the candidates.

Needless to say, two of them were actually taken away due to problems, which also allowed Li Xiao to see the rigor of ancient scientific examinations.

Li Qingsong came early and entered the exam room earlier. Li Xiao and his daughter left after watching people enter the examination room.
