Li Changxi nodded, "I understand, but I want to stay in the county. The master of the county school here gives lectures to the people of the county school. Brother, can you get me in?"

Li Changfu scratched his head, "How to get in?"

Li Changxi raised a finger, "Brother, I need to collect money, 100 taels of silver, for a surprise attack before the exam."

"Is it reliable?" Li Changfu was dubious.

Li Changxi's expression was serious, "Brother, I am a master in the county school, how can I be unreliable? Zhao Juren teaches in person, and everyone who takes his class can be admitted as a scholar."

Seeing that Li Changxi said so confidently, Li Changfu nodded, "Okay, let's go home now. Prepare gifts, thank Master Liu, say goodbye, and then go to the county school to attend class."

Li Changxi nodded, "Thank you, brother."

Although Li Changxi also had money in his hands, it was pocket money that he had worked hard to save.

Reading is a family affair, and of course the whole family must support him in studying.

Besides, if the family is rich, they don’t need the 100 taels of silver.

Li Changfu arranged a ceremony to thank his teacher.

His mother was not at home, so he took his fourth brother to personally thank Master Liu.

Master Liu was still confident that Li Changxi could pass the Tongsheng examination, and he felt at ease accepting the gifts.

After a small celebration at home, Li Changfu sent Li Changxi to the county school the next day.

Here, there is a master who specializes in giving lessons to children, but he has never heard that he has to pay for it!

Could it be that Li Changxi lied?
Li Changfu went to Li Changxi and asked: "What do you mean by the 100 taels? I don't see any money being asked for here? Just basic food and lodging, and the total adds up to only five taels of silver."

Li Changxi lay in his eldest brother's ear, "Brother, this is what a friend I know said. The most powerful Master Zhao in the county school can provide guidance alone."

"After all, not all children can afford 100 taels of silver, so this is private. Brother, just give me the money and I will hand it over when the time comes."

Li Changfu was suspicious, but seeing Li Changxi's anxious expression, he took out 100 taels of silver and gave him another [-] taels of silver as pocket change.

"Take it, if you don't have enough money, you can go to the store and ask your uncle for it."

Li Changxi took it and said with a smile, "Thank you, brother. I understand."

"Study hard in school and don't get angry with others. Of course, you can't be bullied by others." Li Changfu earnestly urged, "But don't be stupid and fall into other people's traps. Study honestly for half a month. Try to be admitted as a scholar."

"When mother comes back, she will be happy for you when she finds out that you have passed the examination. If you fail, although mother will not reprimand you, you will only have one chance next year. If you fail to pass, you will have no chance to take the imperial examination at all. ."

Li Changxi thought of his mother and nodded repeatedly, "Brother, I understand. I must study hard."

After Li Changfu left, Li Changxi did study with peace of mind.

After paying 100 taels of silver, I got private tutoring from Zhao Juren in the evening.

The food here tastes average, but it's still edible.

Sun Youcai is also here, and he also wants to take the scholar examination.

He had a feud with the Li family, and now that he saw Li Changxi, he wanted to deal with Li Changxi.

He did not come forward directly, but bribed others and kept praising and flattering Li Changxi.

Especially during class, Zhao Juren praised Li Changxi, and others even praised him. Li Changxi really thought he was very powerful.

Li Changxi began to relax a little.Zhao Juren was busy one night and did not teach a few people.

Wang Dongliang walked to Li Changxi and said, "Let's go out to eat. I'll treat you."

"No, I still want to read." Li Changxi refused. Although Zhao Juren was not here, he still had some unfinished homework during the day.

"Brother Changxi, your grades are so good, you will definitely pass the exam, what are you afraid of? We brothers hit it off immediately, and we happened to go out to drink and eat, reciting poems and reciting poems. Isn't it wonderful?"

Li Changxi wanted to refuse, but was carried out by others.

They found a restaurant together, drank wine, ate food, performed drinking orders, and played boxing, which was very lively.

Li Changxi was drunk and was helped back to the academy.

Time and again, Li Changxi gradually fell in love with this atmosphere.

Li Baqiang is a know-it-all in Lanshan County. When his cousin was dragged to drink together, he did not immediately step forward to stop him.

He went directly to the shop and said, "Dad, Changxi was dragged out to drink by those boys from the county school. Do you want to stop him?"

When Brother Li heard this, he shook his head, "No need!"

"But if you don't stop me, if you don't review well, you may not be able to pass the exam." Although Li Baqiang didn't pass the exam, he had also studied.

Privately, I also understand that Li Changxi's homework is not that good.

"You stopped me once, but you can't stop me every time." Brother Li replied, "Changxi is just like Changlu. Unless he suffers a big loss or stumbles, he will never accept a lesson."

Li Baqiang smiled, "That's right. The children from my sister-in-law's family, namely Changfu and Changshou Changan, are more reliable."

"Chang Xi studies and talks very much like Liu Yunde. No wonder my aunt said that Chang Xi is only allowed to take the exam twice. If he fails the exam twice, he will not be allowed to waste time."

Brother Li chuckled, "Yes, after all, Liu Yunde has taken the exam so many times, and your sister-in-law is also worried that Chang Xi will be like Liu Yunde. After taking the exam for more than 20 years, everyone will become a veteran."

"Then I won't say anything. I'll just wait and see the show." Li Baqiang said with a smile, wanting to see what kind of jokes this Li Changxi could come up with.

Brother Li thought for a while and told Li Baqiang, "Ba Qiang, although I didn't let you stop Chang Xi, you must also pay attention to Chang Xi's safety. You can accept the lesson, but you must not worry about your life."

Li Baqiang responded, "I understand, uncle."

Li Baqiang observed in the dark and determined that these people had no intention of harming Li Changxi's life. They just wanted to prevent Li Changxi from studying hard.

"Changxi, I heard that there are some beautiful girls coming to Baihualou. Let's go and broaden our horizons tonight?" Wang Dongliang dragged Li Changxi out and said, "Brother Yang is treating us today. You don't have to spend money."

Of course, Li Changxi knew where Baihualou was and refused immediately, "Brother Wang and Brother Yang must not do it. If it is normal, that's it. Now we have to prepare for the imperial examination, so we must not go to the brothel."

No matter how hard the two of them tried, Li Changxi wouldn't go.

In addition, Li Changxi also feels that he has been out a lot recently and has not read and studied well. It seems that the knowledge in his mind is rusty.

After all, there are still three days left. If you delay if you fail the exam this year, the pressure will be great next year.

In addition, this time I spent 100 taels of silver.

If he didn't pass the exam, he wouldn't have the face to meet his eldest brother.

Seeing that Li Changxi was suddenly working so hard and couldn't shout out, Wang Dongliang and Yang Hefan had no choice but to give up.

They think that if they usually read a lot, they will definitely be admitted as a scholar this time, so they do not cherish the time before the exam. (End of chapter)
