My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 25 25. The promise of the golden house, the county rushes for the exam

Marriage has no disadvantages for Zhao Xuanqi.

Now he just needs to stay in his room every day and study hard. He reads through various books in the Yuan family and memorizes the knowledge inside clearly.

All other chores are arranged and ordered by the old housekeeper. The servants manage the house in an orderly manner, and Zhao Xuanqi will not be disturbed by anything that is not important.

When it's time to eat, a servant will come to deliver the meal. Even if you go out to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones, everything is done by the servants.

There is no shortage of money either. There is a lot of dowry, which is enough to support his hard study.

Zhao Xuanqi does not need to focus his energy on other places, he can just study hard wholeheartedly.

At the same time, my wife is also very virtuous, has a gentle and generous personality, is kind and optimistic, and is very considerate.

Sometimes when Zhao Xuanqi was reading for too long, she would sneak up behind him, take the initiative to massage Zhao Xuanqi, tell some interesting things, and share some joy.

He also enthusiastically handed me fruits to Zhao Xuanqi, showed concern for Zhao Xuanqi, and asked him to pay attention to his rest time and not to be tired.

Sometimes she would have a little temper and pester Zhao Xuanqi to go shopping or play, trying to get Zhao Xuanqi to buy something for her, otherwise she would not walk.

The husband and wife care about each other and are very friendly.

Zhao Xuanqi felt that he was lucky to marry such a kind and virtuous wife.

In days like this, his knowledge continued to grow, and he read each book and kept it firmly in his mind.

He memorized the unique copies collected by the Yuan family and the key contents of past scientific examinations.

The calligraphy in one hand is so perfect that no one can find any faults, and anyone who reads it will be applauded.

Time passes slowly, and the time for the scientific examination is getting closer and closer.

On this day, the wife suddenly came forward and said that she wanted to sell her dowry.

Zhao Xuanqi was surprised. Didn't the family always have enough money? What would they do by selling the dowry?

The wife said solemnly: "My husband is amazingly talented and can easily answer all kinds of difficult questions. Writing poems and lyrics is not a problem. I am very confident about my husband, but sometimes it doesn't take the ability to answer questions well to pass the exam..."

"People have their limits, and answering questions sometimes depends on the examiner's personality and hobbies. Otherwise, the examiner may not like some questions. No matter how well you answer, he will not be able to give you a high score."

"Who the examiner is, what party he belongs to, what knowledge he advocates, including who he studied under, who his enemies are, and what interests and hobbies he has are all the focus of the answer."

She explained: "I'm not afraid of [-], just in case. I think my family needs a large amount of money to get through the connections between the county and the city and get information from each examiner. This way, I can ensure that my husband's scientific examination is foolproof."

After hearing this, Zhao Xuanqi was very moved.

His wife has always cared about him so much. As a man, how can he not be touched?

You need to go to the county town for the examination. The examiners are all high-ranking officials in the county town. They have extraordinary status. If you want to know about their hobbies, it will definitely cost a lot of money.

No wonder the wife wants to sell her dowry.

Zhao Xuanqi didn't have any other property except this house. Most of the property was brought by his wife. Only by selling the dowry could he be able to get information.

"Madam, I'll leave it to you to find out the information."

He held the woman's hands and solemnly promised: "If your wife is like this, what more can a husband ask for? If one day I am named on the gold medal list, I must repay the dowry a thousand times, and I must make it of pure gold." Let this house be your new house. Only this kind of room is worthy of you."

The wife smiled indifferently, thinking that her husband would tell lies, but she still cooperated and replied seriously: "Then I can wait for this day."

……

The days passed quickly, and the three-year period had arrived.

The day of scientific examination finally arrived.This year, Zhao Xuanqi was already 20 years old. He carried a heavy bag on his back, got on the carriage, said goodbye to his wife, and headed towards the county seat with his wife's eyes full of reluctance.

"Three hundred miles away from the imperial examination, I will definitely be on the gold medal list!"

Zhao Xuanqi swore silently in his heart.

No matter what, he cannot fail.

Whether it's for his wife, the villagers of Zhaojia Village, or even for himself, he must get a higher academic status!
He will not forget the purpose of coming to this world. Only when he becomes a high official, has a high position and changes the fate of many people, can he receive generous point rewards and change his destiny in the main world.

If you don't become immortal, you will eventually become mortal.

The efforts in this world are just for the accumulation of the next world, so that you can embark on the road to becoming strong step by step!
I have been sharpening my skills for three years. I have been studying hard every day for three years, just waiting to get a good ranking in the next exam!
On the official road, the carriage headed towards the county seat, and Zhao Xuanqi was accompanied by other scholars.

In the past two years, Zhao Xuanqi has made many friends. Due to his personality and family, he was unable to make friends with scholars from big families, so most of the people he made friends with were scholars from poor families.

Some of these people are still talented in their 40s, and they still insist on rushing for the exams, and they will not fail in every imperial examination.

There are also several scholars in their 30s who have studied hard for several years and feel that their skills have reached the level, so they also participated in the scientific examination.

Zhao Xuanqi was not familiar with these older people. The reason why they rushed to take the exam together was entirely because they were in the same county and had a sense of fellow villagers. When they went to a county where they were unfamiliar with each other, they could stay together and not be bullied casually. , they also take care of each other on the road.

He got along relatively well with a man named Li Yuntian. Li Yuntian was only 23 years old. He came from a poor family and came from an academy. He had acquired good knowledge and had a solid foundation in skills.

Zhao Xuanqi felt that, except for Li Yuntian, it was very difficult for anyone else to pass the exam and they needed to rely entirely on luck, otherwise there was no hope at all.

The group of people communicated and hurried on their way.

About half a month later, we finally arrived at the county town.

The territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty was divided into eighteen rivers and mountains. Each river and mountain had a county and city. The county and city were the center of prosperity and splendor in the surrounding area. The city was tall and the culture was prosperous.

The mountain and river where Zhao Xuanqi is located is relatively remote. It is located on the corner of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The county name is Ziyun City.

The city wall is tall, like a giant standing on the ground, exuding a majestic aura, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

At this moment, there is an endless stream of people in Ziyun City, and the official roads are full of scholars and scholars rushing to take exams. Everyone is tired from traveling and tired from work.

There were beautiful women waiting on me all the way, and rushing for the exam was like traveling around the world without any hardship.

Some people, however, relied on only one pair of feet to travel. Along the way, several pairs of straw sandals were broken and the soles of their feet were bruised with blood blisters.

All kinds of complaints continued.

"I finally made it to Ziyun City alive. The hardships along the way are indescribable to outsiders."

"Yes, I heard that there was a poor scholar who took a shortcut on a remote path, but was beheaded by bandits and died in vain on the road."

"Are mountain bandits stupid? Some scholars have failed exams for many years and have spent all their money before they can walk to take the exam. In other words, they are a pauper on the road. They also brave the world to rob the imperial examination and the country, and are not afraid of being punished by the government. To be exterminated?"

"Not to mention, that group of thieves died miserably. The day after the news came out, they were killed by the nearby county magistrate and his troops. There were more than 300 people in the entire village, and no one was left alive. Their bodies were still hanging in the official palace. The road scares other thieves and bandits, I passed by that official road and saw it with my own eyes."

"You deserve it. The imperial examination is the foundation of the country and the merit of a place. Even the scholars who are rushing to take the examination dare to rob, and their brains are muddled by shit. Even though there is a lot of chaos in the court and there are many thieves and bandits everywhere, no one is seen taking the imperial examination. When they dared to rob scholars, this group of bandits opened everyone's eyes."

A group of people lined up to enter Ziyun City.

Zhao Xuanqi and others also joined the team. After entering the city, the group found an inn to stay and waited silently for the imperial examination in a few days.

The imperial examination is a fate-changing moment.

I don’t know how many people will be tossing and turning these days and having trouble falling asleep.
