The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Chapter 368 Divide and Transform ([-])
Liu Da drove the mules, took Li Qiushui, Mrs. Wei, and Mrs. Wei's wife and maid, and arrived in Tianjin after a three-day journey.

At the gate of the city, he saw a large group of people gathered around to look at the notice board at the gate.

A few yamen servants held gongs in their hands and were yelling loudly: "Pass by and take a look! If you have agricultural books, medical books, and arithmetic books at home, if you dedicate them to the emperor, your family will immediately get two tribute students." !"

Li Qiushui stayed in the palace all the time, and the few times she went out, she followed the convoy of the palace. She was Li Zhao's woman in name, and she was barely half the master of the palace. With some shelves.

But now it is different, such a light car to go out, talk when you want to talk, and laugh when you want to laugh, this novel feeling makes Li Qiushui feel an unprecedented sense of ease and joy.

Hearing the yelling of Tianjin government officials at the gate of the city, she opened the car window curiously and stuck her head out to have a look.

"What do you see?" Mrs. Wei asked with a smile.

Li Qiushui retracted his neck from the window of the car, and said: "I just read that the imperial list seems to say that anyone who has achieved the title of scholar can apply to the local government to become a student of the Beijing Academy of Sciences. It is said that the government will sponsor them to go to the capital at that time." , after arriving in the capital, not only do you not have to pay for school, the academy provides free accommodation, two sets of clothes per season, and two meals a day, plus one tael of silver per month for living expenses!"

Li Qiushui said, his eyes sparkling: "On this condition, I want to go back to the capital to go to school, but unfortunately I am not a scholar."

Mrs. Wei smiled, holding her chin thoughtfully.

Outside the car, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate had already checked Liu Da's guide, and the mule cart started slowly again.

They settled down in an inn in the west of the city, and at the door of the inn, they saw the news posted by the government office in Tianjin about offering books and enrolling students in the Academy of Sciences.

Li Qiushui stood in front of the notice board, looked up and stared at the notice for a long while.

A man in a blouse next to her looked her up and down, approached her with a smile, and said, "Young lady, after watching this for so long, can you recognize the words on it?"

Li Qiushui had seen this kind of man a lot when he was buying wine in the Northwest, so he didn't even look at him, his eyes were fixed on the notice, and he replied lightly: "I know it."

Li Qiushui's indifference did not make the man back off, and he took another step closer to her, saying: "This is the simplified character that His Royal Highness the First Prince just created last year. It is easy to recognize, so it's no wonder you can recognize it. Hey, who taught you?" Yes? The little lady already has a girlfriend?"

It is really rude to ask such a question from a stranger who has never met before.

Li Qiushui's appearance is a bit special, this man probably regarded himself as a dancer invited by the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, and he didn't even want to talk to him, he didn't even give him a look, and went straight into the hotel.

The man was taken aback for a moment, then snorted in embarrassment, flung his sleeves and left.

Mrs. Wei was sitting on the porch of the hotel drinking tea, seeing everything in her eyes.To be honest, Miss Li's facial features are really good-looking, even if her skin is dark, she can't stop her beauty. Any man on the street will look at her and want to say something. no.

With such a beauty, His Royal Highness Prince Jin was willing to let her leave the palace just like that.

When Li Qiushui came back from the bulletin board, he found Mrs. Wei secretly looking at him.

She smiled and looked back at Mrs. Wei. Mrs. Wei blushed, lowered her head and hesitated for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "For a beauty like you, His Highness is willing to let you go."

Li Qiushui let out a chuckle: "There's nothing to be reluctant to do. The only one who can be reluctant to do so is the princess."

When she said this, she had a smile on her face, not only did she not look jealous, but rather proud.

Mrs. Wei looked at her curiously, Li Qiushui didn't explain much, just said: "Wangfei is a very good person and deserves to be treated like that by Your Highness."

Mrs. Wei agreed with this, she nodded with a smile, and didn't ask any more questions.

In the capital, Li Zhao invited three hundred candidates who wrote excellent articles but failed the rankings because of poor mathematics to have a feast. Of course, Song Gaopeng, Ouyang Yubo, and Zhuang Jinyi were not included here. a radical opposition.

At the banquet, His Royal Highness gave full play to the acting talent he inherited from the emperor's father, wearing a blouse embroidered with python patterns, dressed as a scholar, holding wine, expressing himself and acting on behalf of his father, to everyone present Express concern and value.

Li Zhao's memory is not as good as that of a human being. He did his homework urgently the night before and read nearly two hundred articles written by the failed candidates. So at the banquet, he ordered dozens of candidates one by one, and recited what they wrote on the test papers. The golden sentence written.

The candidates were moved to tears by His Royal Highness's statement and actions.

Seeing that the atmosphere was in place, Li Zhao began to talk about the importance of practical learning with emotion and reason.

He said this for half an hour, and when he was a little drunk, he finally said the purpose of inviting everyone to the Qian Mansion for a banquet: "Everyone here is a big talent, and in the future you can all be my masters." People who are the pillars of the Great Zhou! Since they want to be pillars, this beam cannot be empty, let alone empty! Therefore, after repeated efforts by the king, the father finally agreed to give everyone a re-examination of mathematics. Chance."

what?
make-up exam? !

Immediately there was a buzz of discussion during the banquet.

"Everyone, the time is one year. Next year, in February, we will conduct a make-up exam, only math. There will be 2 candidates for the second-class Jinshi, and there will be no third-class. At that time, the math scores will be added to the scores of the first three subjects, and the highest score will be selected." Enrollment is guaranteed to be fair and just! Those who are willing to take the make-up exam will report to the Academy of Sciences tomorrow! The registration period is only three days, and we will not wait until the deadline!"
