Chapter 290 Temple Worship
"Mei'er, when we visited your house during the Mid-Autumn Festival last time, didn't you invite your aunt's younger brother? Are you familiar with him? How is he?" Li Yuanxia blinked at Li Mei'er and asked ambiguously. road.

Li Meier also smiled knowingly, and replied: "Brother Yi~~~ He is quite nice. But why are you asking this, Axia?"

Li Yuanxia glanced at Li Yuanchun, saw that the other party was staring at him, and quickly lowered his head to drink tea, his expression became serious in an instant, "It's nothing, just ask casually."

Li Meier grinned, and continued without revealing, "Brother Ayi is very good at martial arts. Last time he killed several Japanese pirates. He is going to take the martial arts exam next year. He has great ambitions and always wants to fight the enemy. Defend the country."

Li Yuanchun turned his head to the other side, as if admiring the chrysanthemums in Li Meier's room, but his ears were closed, listening to what she said word by word.

"That's really amazing. If he passes the martial arts examination in the middle of next year, will he be able to become an official?" Li Yuanxia opened his mouth and asked in surprise.

"That's right, I heard my father mention that if you pass the Wu Jinshi exam, you usually become a general or a lieutenant general first." Li Meier replied.

"What grade of official position is that?" Li Yuanxia didn't understand the grades of military officers, so he asked again.

"Sixth grade, the lowest grade is from sixth grade, I don't even know that you are asked to read more books." Before Li Meier could answer, Li Yuanchun had already answered, and after speaking, he gave his sister a very disgusted look.

"Most people don't know this. When Aunt Zhen gave us a lecture, she focused on the grades of civil servants, and the military officials only mentioned it briefly. How can I remember it so clearly?" Li Yuanxia was very wronged, her sister looked down on her too much. people!

"Oh, it's not important. Speaking of which, Wu Jinshi is more affordable than Wen Jinshi. My uncle and uncle worked hard to get a Shujishi, but he was only a seventh rank. This Wu Jinshi can be a sixth rank. "Li Meier immediately changed the topic.

"It's different." Li Yuanchun said slowly, "About 200 people are admitted to the imperial examination every year, but only a dozen people are admitted to the martial arts examination. Naturally, the official positions of those people are not low."

"Sister, you know all of this." Li Yuanxia didn't expect his sister to know how many people are admitted to the martial arts exam every year, so she immediately admired it.

"Hmph, it's you who are ignorant, and sister Mei'er must also know about it." Li Yuanchun replied a little arrogantly, the books in her room were not for nothing.

Li Mei'er just smiled and didn't speak. In fact, she didn't know it. Who's okay to read those things?

"Then, the martial arts test is quite difficult..." Li Yuanxia murmured, and suddenly she didn't have much confidence in her future brother-in-law.

"I have confidence in Brother Yi. Besides, if you really don't pass the martial arts exam, you can use other methods to join the army. As long as you establish a military industry, you may not be able to get promoted." Li Meier still has great confidence in Zhou Muyi.

"Will people die in battle?" Li Yuanxia suddenly thought of something and asked with a frown.

"Whatever you do, you won't die. Even if you stay at home all day, you might choke to death on food. It's better to die on the battlefield. It's a heroic corpse shrouded in horse leather." Li Yuanchun said again first.

"Sister, don't you say it so scary, I'm just asking..." Li Yuanxia said weakly, thinking that her sister really... thinks too much.

"That's right, it's not so easy to die, and besides, there is no war now." Li Meier also said with a haha, but from the meaning of Li Yuanchun's words, she seems to have so much interest in Ah Yi, which is really interesting.When you find a chance, you must tell brother A Yi, let him give yourself a good meaning.

Wu's mother and daughter had lunch at Jiang's house, and then left. Wu's purpose of coming here today has been achieved, and when she returned, she was smiling, even Li Yuanchun seemed to be in a good mood.

The next day, Mrs. Wu brought two of the family's carriages, and the two families went to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha to engage in feudal superstition.

Because it wasn't long after the Japanese pirates had just ended, the Guanyin Temple, as the only Buddhist place in Zhangshui Town, was still very popular.Moreover, I met a lot of acquaintances.In the meantime, there was the patriarch's wife, Mrs. Liu, who still took her grandson Li Yu with her.

The three families met outside the temple gate, and Mrs. Liu smiled when she saw the two families, "I heard that the Manjusri Bodhisattva in our Guanyin Temple is the most efficacious. Brother Yu will pass the talent test next year, and I will bring him to worship."

"Isn't it? It's very effective." Mrs. Li immediately showed her personal experience and said it vividly.

Li Meier has nothing to do with this Li Yu, but she knows that his relationship with her brother Shanqing is not very harmonious. He often fights openly and secretly in the ethnology. He used to trip up brother Shanqing, but he was ruthlessly beaten by brother Shanqing. After the first time, she died down, and has been sitting in the second place of Wannian.

Li Yu is still very personable in front of people, especially in front of the elders, he is called a well-behaved and sensible person. After seeing the ceremony for the elders, he looked at Li Meier and Jiang Shanqing, "Who are you here to worship? Will the young man also take the talent test next year?"

Jiang Shanqing didn't look at him directly, and really didn't want to talk to him.

Li Meier could only speak hastily, "My father and my little uncle have participated in Jinke Qiuwei, and the list will be released soon."

Li Yu said with a smile when he heard the words, "I forgot about this, Uncle Yan, this is the second time for Qiu Wei, I must ask him for advice and experience when I have time."

Although this is true, Li Meier felt a little uncomfortable when she heard it. She curled her lips and said very bluntly: "Brother Yu, don't worry, wait until you pass the exam to be a scholar, and then ask for advice, otherwise this will be difficult." It’s useless to ask for advice.”

Li Yu's face was a little ugly. Didn't Li Meier's words imply that he would not be able to pass the talent test next year.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to win back a victory, Jiang Shanqing on the side said with a half-smile, "How is your preparation for the talent test?"

Li Yu was taken aback for a moment, and immediately replied with the corners of his lips slightly raised: "Mr. said that my article is basically fine, and it is almost inseparable."

Jiang Shanqing just chuckled, "You can't be too confident, and don't talk too much, or you won't be able to achieve it, and it's not a slap in the face. But it doesn't matter to you, even if you don't pass the exam this time, even if you don't pass the exam next time. Take the test again, at least if you are familiar with the way."

Li Yu was immediately annoyed by his words, clenched his fists and said: "Jiang Shanqing, just wait and see, I will definitely pass the exam this time, and I will also get a first case!"

"Then I'm afraid you will be disappointed." Jiang Shan gave him a cool look, "Because I want to participate too, and I want this case."
