Chapter 29

When Li Ce went down the mountain and returned home, it was past ugly time.

The neighbors in the village had already gone to sleep, but the Li house was brightly lit.

He disappeared for no reason, so no one in the Li family could sleep.

"Li Dalang, you didn't come home in the middle of the night, where did you go! The whole family is worried about you, afraid that you will be harmed by the evil spirits around you."

When Zhou Ping saw her husband coming home, she couldn't help but grimaced and squeezed his waist hard with her hands.

If it was a different day, everyone wouldn't be too worried if he was a big man who didn't return in the middle of the night, but this is on Nanshan, and there was a snake demon last month.

"I didn't come home late on purpose, but I was invited to have a drink, and I couldn't shirk it."

Li Cezhi grabbed Zhou Ping's wrist and begged for mercy.

"Invited by whom?"

Zhou Ping raised her eyebrows slightly and asked.

"Yangshan God on Nanshan."

Li Cezhi pointed in the direction of Guidance Mountain and said seriously.

Everyone in the family was slightly startled, they didn't expect Li Cezhi to say this, and asked what was going on.

When Li Cezhi told what happened to him, the whole family was dumbfounded.

"The mountain god invited you to drink just to let you give him something?"

Zhou Ping looked suspicious, and asked puzzledly: "There are so many people coming and going in this Nanshan every month, why don't others choose you, but choose you to send it for him?"

"This, I don't know."

Li Cezhi shook his head, feeling puzzled and puzzled by this.

In the ancestral hall, on the tablet.

Li Chaoge has already sensed his son's return. At the same time, the monthly tasks in the task section have undergone new changes.

[Congratulations on completing the monthly task: Invitation of the Mountain God.

Reward: 200 points of incense, start the legendary mission, the mystery of Shinto. ]
With a prompt, another legendary mission appeared.

[The first ring of the Mystery of Shinto: The Old City God of Yunshan County.

Mission description: God of Mountain Yang invited Li Cezhi to a banquet, just for him to send a black iron plaque to the City God of Yunshan County, Mingzhou.

Achievement conditions: successfully arrive at the Town God's Temple in Yunshan County, and find the old City God for Yangshan God.

Completion reward: Open the second ring of the legendary mission Shinto Mystery, and a piece of amulet. ]
Different from the previous legendary mission of searching for dragons, this legendary mission seems to have more than one link, and there is no time limit.

"Town God's Temple in Yunshan County?"

Li Chaoge frowned slightly, and couldn't figure out what the mystery of the divine way meant.

That's all, if you can't think of it, don't think about it anymore. After completing this task and seeing the follow-up, you will naturally know.

"It's already August."

Li Chaoge suddenly felt emotional, this is already the third month that he has protected the family.

This month, the biggest event in the family is Li Cezhi's children's exam.

As long as they are selected as a scholar, the Li family will be regarded as a preparatory gentry, and it is time to leave Nanshan Village.

"Being a scholar, the Li family should be able to rank among the humble."

Li Chaoge's heart moved, and the system page suddenly popped up the conditions belonging to the family class division.

It is not difficult to reach the conditions of the low-rank poor family.

This is one of the households that have a savings of one hundred taels of silver or an equivalent property.

The second condition is that there is a son of a scholar family with a reputation as a scholar, or a knight with a good reputation in the Jianghu.

If these two are all achieved, all the conditions for the low-rank poor family can be completed.

"I don't know what new changes will be made to the ancestral system after reaching the low-rank poor family."

Li Chaoge murmured, looking forward to this day.

Time flies, Bai Yuncanggou, and soon another half a month passed.

Since Li Cezhi was invited to drink by Yang Shanshen, nothing major happened in the family, and everything was as usual.

Until mid-August, on this day, it was time to take the children's examination.

On this day, Li Cezhi was sent out early without his family seeing him off.

He took Lu Yin alone, rented a carriage, and went to Liyang County to take the test.

In the Dali Dynasty, the Tongsheng Examination was the beginning of a scholar's promotion. There were two examinations, namely the County Examination and the Academy Examination.

From the opening of the exam to the release of the rankings, the overall process will take at least half a month.

It is held only once a year. If you can pass it and be hired into the Academy, you will be a scholar. You will be among the lowest ranks of the gentry, and you will have privileges that many villagers have never had. Juren, taking the Jinshi examination, is the first pass for the world's reading seeds to leap to the dragon's gate.

With a population of nearly 800, the bustling and bustling Liyang County is obviously much stronger than Nanshan Village, which only has a total of more than [-] households.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, and there are different types of pedestrians on the street. There are hawkers who are on the road, merchants who drive to deliver goods, and women who stop at the stalls and choose jewelry.

Li Cezhi's eyes were dazzled by the bustling crowds.

"Candied haws."

In front, there was a man in short thirties, carrying a target, filled with thick sugar-coated, bright red candied haws, selling them in the streets and alleys.

"Xiaoyu happens to like to eat, after the exam is over, you might as well buy him a bunch."

Li Cezhi's mind moved, and he couldn't help but think of his own son.

"No, I have to buy two skewers. The third sister also likes snacks the most. If you don't bring her some, you will complain."

Thinking like this, Li Cezhi walked through Anlu Street and soon arrived at Yueshan Academy.

The examinations for children in Liyang County over the years have been conducted here.

When Li Cezhi arrived at Yueshan Academy, where the county government's children's exams were reported, many students who came to take the exams had already gathered here.

There are also people who don't let go of any gaps and still study the articles carefully with the saint's classics.

"Brother Xu, Brother Zhao."

Scanning the crowd, Li Cezhi quickly found two acquaintances.

"Brother Li also came for reference this year."

"I met Brother Li."

These two were classmates of Li Cezhi's childhood private school, namely Xu Da and Zhao Ruixiang.

Zhao Ruixiang's family is a landlord, with more than [-] acres of fertile land, and employs long-term workers to work at home, so he does not do farm work, and his body is not strong.

As for Xu Da, his family background is better. He is a member of the Xu family in Liyang County. Apart from reading and writing, he spends a lot of time in the brothel, and he was ruined by alcohol and lust early on.

Compared with the two, Li Cezhi's family background is naturally much worse, and most of his childhood reading and literacy was read on the back of a cow.

Although the three of them have different family backgrounds, they have a deep friendship. They were classmates in private schools when they were young. In recent years, they have often exchanged letters and chatted about poetry and articles.

"I heard that a total of [-] students from the county government participated in this year's children's exam. It really is a thousand troops crossing the single-plank bridge."

Zhao Ruixiang couldn't help sighing as he looked at the students all around him.

"That's right. In previous years, there were no more than [-] people at most. This year's competition has become more intense."

Xu Da also frowned: "I've been taking the exam for four years, but I still haven't passed the exam. If I don't pass again this year, I'll be beaten to death by my father when I go back."

 Nanshan Yin in the first volume should be coming to an end after Li Cezhi's Tongsheng exam is over.

  It’s only about a dozen chapters at most. I chatted with the editor and gained something. Next, I need to go through all the details of the second volume of Boys’ Walk, and make the settings more detailed, so yesterday and today Sorry for only one chapter.

  After the chapter is owed, it will be filled up, and there will be three changes in as many days as there are one change.

  It will be adjusted soon, and should be fully cleared up by tomorrow.

  In addition, I would like to thank the little book friends for the five hundred starting coins, and thank the book friends for the five hundred starting coins, thank you everyone.
