Chapter 183 Making Friends
As a result, Zhou Jian'an, who lived with Li Xiuping and was a classmate, was a little embarrassed.

Even though he had prepared himself mentally in advance, on the day the list was released, he couldn't help but take a chance and read all the names on the list from beginning to end and back to front several times.

No, still not his name, he really really failed the exam.

But classmate Li's name is very conspicuous, the No.1 Huiyuan.

At first, Zhou Jian'an was in a depressed mood, even a little bit jealous.

Originally, it was normal for everyone to go to Beijing together to take the exam together, and then fail the exam together and go back home in despair.

In the end, I agreed to share weal and woe with my friends, but you are about to rise to the top when I am down and out...

Cough cough, Zhou Jian'an knew that he had a dark mind.

But he couldn't help it, he was envious and jealous of Li Xiuping.

He came to Beijing with his wife to rush for the exam. Every day, he was accompanied by a beautiful woman who greeted him with greetings, red sleeves and sweets. In the end, he did a thousand times better than him in the exam.

It was just the beginning, Zhou Jianan's mood returned to normal after a night's sleep. He already knew his level, and now that he got the exact news, it's normal for him to fail the ranking.

In the past, his family could support him to take the exam after three years only if he was selected as a scholar, but now it is different. Even his father said that since he won the exam, the family's business has improved a lot.

It's not impossible to come back after three years, he doesn't believe it, and after three years of hard work, he still can't pass the top [-] exams!
After knowing the result, it was a real relief. Zhou Jianan and his friends went out to drink tea together. They all made an appointment to fight again after three years of failure.

While chatting about the mountains, someone suggested: "By the way, Brother Zhou, that Li Xiuping who won the first name Huiyuan seems to come from the same place as you, right?"

Generally speaking, the candidates who passed the exam are not bad, but the names, birthplaces, ages, etc. of the top few are no secrets in Beijing and China.

Zhou Jian'an nodded and told everyone: "We were studying in the government school together before, and this time we went to Beijing together to catch the exam."

So everyone became more enthusiastic and wanted to make friends with this Li Huiyuan.

Thinking about coming back in three years, maybe Li Xiuping has already become an official, and at least he has a friendship with them for reference. Maybe he can support them in the future?
With such a mentality in mind, several people followed Zhou Jianan back to the courtyard they rented. Naturally, Fang Qingqing entertained them with good wine and food.

Several people who were able to come after failing the rankings calmly thought about coming back in three years, and their family backgrounds are not bad, so they didn't come empty-handed.

Therefore, Fang Qingqing also smiled at these few failed candidates who came to the door hastily.

The communication between people is mutual. If you just want to get something from others and don't want to give it yourself, such a person is naturally not worth making friends with.

After eating this meal, outsiders know more about Li Huiyuan.

He had just passed the scholar examination three years ago, and then went to take part in the provincial examination. He was the first in their province, Xie Yuan, and the youngest Juren in history.

Even now, he can be said to be the youngest Gong Shi.

If he wins a good rank in the palace examination, Li Huiyuan can start to enter and leave the officialdom, and he is not yet 17 this year.

And from Zhou Jianan, they knew more:

"Actually speaking, Brother Li's wife is the real blessing, mainly because of her Wangfu.

It is said that brother Li's health was extremely poor in the past, and he could not do heavy work, so he could only study hard behind closed doors due to the pressure of life.

But he didn't dare to expect that he could really find his way out by studying. After getting the title of the chief of the case in the hospital examination, he suffered a serious illness, but his health gradually improved after marrying a daughter-in-law.

Next is Xie Yuan from the provincial examination and Huiyuan from the general examination. Brother Li can go to the palace examination to meet the current emperor in person in just three years now.

Even Brother Li himself said that everything was due to his wife. "

This kind of thing, even in a teahouse, the storyteller would not dare to talk about it, but it took only three years to succeed in the examination of scholar, then in the examination, then in the general examination, and then go to Yuqian to get a doctorate.

But Zhou Jianan made a strong promise, and someone boldly asked Li Xiuping to prove it face to face.

Ever since, the saying that Li Huiyuan's wife is a blessed and extremely prosperous man spread among the literati in the capital in the shortest possible time.

In fact, after those people left, Fang Qingqing protested softly, thinking that it was not good for Li Sanlang to speak of her like that outside.

In the end, Li Xiuping held her hand and said to her very seriously:
"I just want to tell everyone in the world that I have the best lady in the world, and I will never abandon my wife and marry another."

Fang Qingqing was very shocked, and her heart was greatly touched;
It turned out that Li Xiuping, who looked like he was studying hard behind closed doors, was not completely ignorant of the rumors outside.

Knowing that he is young, knowing that he came from a poor family, knowing that he came to Beijing with his wife and family, but what is even more known is that Li Huiyuan's young lady is just a village girl from the countryside.

More people were betting that after Li Xiuping got better grades in the palace examination, would he start to have different thoughts?
As a result, Li Xiuping has released such rumors first, and if he really remarries in the future, his reputation may be hindered.

The most taboo thing for literati is a flawed reputation, especially in the capital.

Once the emperor has a bad impression of this person, let alone Qingyun Road, it will be difficult to become an official smoothly.

That's why Fang Qingqing was extremely shocked. Li Xiuping didn't say many sweet words to her on weekdays, but he always took concrete actions.

Prove to her that he really wants to spend his whole life with her!
Not only that, the landlord was very excited after the exam was released.

Li Juren lived in his yard who was hit by a Gongshi. After Li Huiyuan moved out, he would rest up his own yard and the whole family would live in it. Maybe there would be some happiness.

So happy, they reduced the rent and refunded them five taels of silver.

So Fang Qingqing was also very happy. In a place like the capital where there are nobles everywhere, five liang of silver is not visible. If it is placed in Hongqiao Village, it will be a huge sum of money.

It was even Zhou Jian'an who had made some calculations in his heart, and planned to wait for Li Xiuping's palace test before returning to his hometown. His father could still pay for this amount of money.

Even if Li Xiuping mentioned that his family members might come to the capital after he passed the test, they would probably live in this courtyard at that time.

Zhou Jian'an didn't care, he would stay at the inn at worst. At this time, the most important thing is to get in touch with classmate Li and learn more experience.
