Zhu Dinghe murmured: "Fake foreign devils, it's not that my wife is not here. If the students need it, I invite guests once. Don't talk about such romantic things. What benefits will you bring us by coming?" I was thinking in my heart if I Young and handsome like you, prostitutes are willing to pay.

Li Guolou glanced at him and said, "I just came to see what you guys were doing, and I was so angry. Anyway, you run to Baozhi's room more diligently than I do. Let me make it clear to you. Don't wait until the rankings are released. Come find me."

There is a limit to eating free food. After the rankings were announced in April, Li Guolou stopped letting five students from his hometown eat free food.

"Hey hey hey!" The five students scratched their heads in embarrassment. Scholars want to save face, but when they think of delicious food, they can't help but go to Baozhi's room for dinner. Of course, they are all keeping accounts.Even if you have money, you won't pay it back. It's not fair!Five students eat, who pays the bill?

"Fake foreign devils, didn't you say that I will go to high school? I'll treat you then!" Zhu Dinghe was a thief, and he didn't say to pay the debts, but said that he would have a good time when he was named on the gold list.

"Have you recited all the scriptures?" Li Guolou picked up a copy of "The Book of Songs" on the table, and prepared to test Zhu Dinghe like a teacher.

The scientific examination is divided into three days, and one day is the scripture test. How to take the test?It is a fill-in-the-blank question, a passage of scriptures that is familiar to everyone, and a few lines are missing for candidates to fill in the blanks.This is the skill of rote memorization, there is no other tricks, from the Sui Dynasty to the scientific examination, and continued to the Qing Dynasty, only the Yuan Dynasty stopped for several decades.This is why the literati said why the Yuan Dynasty was short-lived. A dynasty without the support of literati would not last long.Therefore, Jinshi has a super memory ability, especially these Han people, without any tricks, Huashan Road, they just got out of the examination room.

"It's recited!" Zhu Dinghe was the first to shout loudly, chest out and belly out.

"Write the third poem "Juan Er" silently for me, and I will treat guests with no mistakes, and give rewards, and those who make mistakes will stay in the hall and eat dried radishes." Li Guolou picked up the Book of Songs and flipped through it. If you still make mistakes silently, you will never want to be a Jinshi in this life.

"Okay!" The five students understood that Li Guolou had worked so hard to invite them to dinner, so they all sat down to grind their ink, and spread out the rice paper to write "The Book of Songs; Juan Er".

The scriptures: Picking and picking ears, not full of baskets.Sigh, I cherish people, and set them around.Zhi Bi Cui Wei, I am a horse.My aunt drinks the golden scorpion, so I won't cherish it forever.Zhibi Gaogang, I am Ma Xuanhuang.My aunt drinks and sips a cup of wine, so as not to be hurt forever.Zhibi is gone, my horse is gone, my servant is gone, why is it called.

Li Guolou walked around watching the five students writing, and shouted: "Don't write typos! Don't tell me fake characters, just write what is written in the book."

Li Guolou looked at the words in the book, shook his head and sighed. After several words, he knew how to read them, but he could only memorize them, but he couldn't write them.Strange characters are hard to guard against. Words that are not used in ordinary times appear in the Five Classics.

Li Guolou poked his head around and sighed, "Cao Kexing, you should go home and sell sweet potatoes. You're getting old, so give the opportunity to young people."

"Chi Chi Chi Chi!" The other four students sneered.

Cao Kexing threw away the brush, without blushing and heartbeat, and said without shame: "I just like to write fake characters, and this problem can't be changed. Brother Guolou, my strength is policy theory, and I have unique insights into the future direction of the country. .”

How could Li Guolou not invite one of them?Reluctantly said: "Okay, I will listen to your high-level remarks when we drink."

In my heart, Cao Kexing was crossed out. This person would be a teacher and eloquent, at worst he would be a litigator.

"Oh;;;;;;" The other four students threw away a lot of pens, and they did it in a swipe, expressing their writing skills freely and vividly.

"Where is the reward?" Fan Dahui stretched out his fat hand.

"You idiot, you owe me the most. When you become an official in the future, don't turn your back on him." Li Guolou teased the fat man, Fan Dahui, who wants to eat at his restaurant if he has a big appetite.

"Fake foreign devil, I know how much I am, and I won't be promoted as fast as you in the future. Master Zhongtang is not my uncle." Fan Dahui took it for granted that Li Guolou could become a ninth-rank official in such a short period of time after entering the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I think Li Guolou is attached to Li Hongzhang's light.Others thought the same way, and they ridiculed Li Guolou's fate one after another.

"Fucking uncle!" Li Guolou couldn't bear it anymore, vented his dissatisfaction, and said angrily: "Oh! You think I depend on my uncle for my promotion and fortune. I don't know how much money I have wasted, just because my uncle wants to suppress Me, give me a stumbling block. Even when I visited his old man, he refused to accept me. He would rather meet the down-and-out Beijing official than me. I have the official hat today because Mr. Bao appreciates me, and it is different from my uncle. It doesn't matter at all, it depends on my ability to solve cases in the capital, if you have difficulties in this area in the future, I will forgive you."

"I believe in the words of the fake foreign devils. If you see the fake foreign devils are full of fat pigs, you will know who he is relying on!" Fan Dahui started to slander Li Guolou's family in front of Li Guolou.

Amidst the laughter, Li Guolou laughed cheerfully and said with a smirk, "I've got a grudge this time, so don't beg me in the future."

"Oh, Brother Guolou, where are you and I? I have a cheap mouth, I know I was wrong, and I promise not to make such jokes in the future." Fan Dahui knew that the joke was overdone, so he quickly hooked Li Guolou and made a close .

"Hey, for the sake of our fellow countrymen, let me teach you a trick. Don't make fun of each other in the officialdom. It doesn't matter if you make fun of yourself. Making fun of the officers and colleagues will produce bad results. I can have the status I am today, yes Because I never speak ill of my fellow officers and colleagues, if you learn this trick well, you will enjoy it forever, and you will be guaranteed to be a tumbler in the officialdom." Li Guolou had high hopes for these fellow civilians, and hoped that they could support each other in the officialdom in the future.

"Then how do you deal with Fang Shi?" Zhu Dinghe asked what he was most concerned about, how to deal with the examiners of the scientific examination.

"Well;;;;;; These seven examiners, to tell you the truth, this time the scientific examination admitted about 200 people, more than 100 people less than usual." Li Guolou revealed the secret of the scientific examination. The number of Jinshi is different, Jinshi is the reserve talents of state officials, and the number of Jinshi selected depends on the social situation.

"Ah! Why are there so few?" Zhu Dinghe blushed so anxiously that everyone knew in their hearts that most of the places in Jinshi should be reserved for Manchus, and the exams for Manchu Jinshi are much easier than those for Han people. The exam is Chinese Translated into Manchu, Manchu translated into Chinese.

Li Guolou smiled and said: "The war is over, the army has to lay off staff, it's not that those warriors want to go into politics. The more than 100 places are for retired soldiers. If you can't pass the exam this time, you will have to wait at least two years before you have a chance. Whoever fails the Juren exam will come back to the capital in two years, and then come to play with me."

"Hey;;;;;;" Hearing what Li Guolou said about the situation, the five students couldn't help but feel depressed. They forgot to eat and sleep to study, but the hope of success was slim. It was even more difficult for thousands of people to compete for less than one hundred places.

Li Guolou refrained from saying that the examiners in each room still have places in their hands, and at least half of the number will be reduced. Only fifty or sixty Han students will be admitted in the scientific examination. The Manchus cheat more than the Hans. Ruthless, if he entered the examination room, he would be one of the students who cheated.

Li Guolou smiled and said: "Don't be discouraged, you are sitting on the wall and holding an umbrella, you are so scared. See what I brought you?" While speaking, Li Guolou opened his leather bag and took out a jade pendant.

"Give it to me!" Suddenly Zhu Dinghe snatched the jade pendant, and put it on his waistband with a beaming smile.

The others were not as quick-sighted as Zhu Dinghe, and when they looked at Li Guolou's purse, there was no jade pendant left.They all clamored that Li Guolou was unfair, and Fan Dahui beat his chest and stamped his feet. He was the closest to Li Guolou, but he left the opportunity to Zhu Dinghe, so why not let him be heartbroken.

Li Guolou laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, I told you that there will be rewards, magic tricks can be done."

Close-up magic Li Guolou came at his fingertips, and after a few tricks, everyone had a gift in their hands.

"Oh! I know how the fake foreign devils make use of big women, and this is the trick." Zhu Dinghe didn't dare to speak too much, and kept pointing to the point.

"Old Zhu, a woman is a woman, why add a big character." Fan Dahui jumped out and added another sentence after the scar healed and forgot the pain.

"Hehehehe!" Everyone covered their mouths and laughed tacitly. Age is not a distance. The five people who are a generation apart are like brothers.Although they are poor students, as long as one person attains the Tao, the other four will benefit for life. This is how the fellow villagers are united.This kind of relationship can be seen everywhere in the Qing Dynasty. Unless, like Bao Yiyi and Wu Defu, they slept with their brothers' wives so well, they would draw their swords and want to put their fellow countrymen to death.

In the past, Li Guolou felt that there were endless topics to talk about with the five fellow villagers, but now Li Guolou has no interest in talking nonsense with such a frog in a well.Personal attacks, mutual slander, and pretending to be a clown, this kind of trick is a bit scratchy.

After being like a fish in water in the officialdom, what can this kind of country bumpkin who has never seen the world talk about?Li Guolou suddenly felt that he had become a snob, what kind of people he should deal with, he had a steelyard in his heart, chatted in a dull manner, and talked about uninteresting topics.

Suddenly, Li Guolou understood that he was really an official, he spoke with an official accent, and he was able to put on an official prestige. The official uniform made him a different kind of person. The phony one.

Li Guolou took off his official uniform, smiled casually, and said, "Old Zhu, borrow a piece of clothing to wear. I think it's awkward to wear. You are all afraid of me."

"Let me tell you earlier, I'll wear it." Zhu Dinghe didn't even think about it, took off his clothes, looked at the "stranger" in official uniform with a smile on his face, laughed loudly, and said, "Or I'm well dressed, don't you think?"

"I'm throwing up (disgusting)!" Fan Dahui pretended to vomit without changing his accent.

Li Guolou flicked his sleeves, bowed and saluted and said, "Master Zhu, I hope you will accept a tael of silver from the lower officials."

"Fuck you!" Zhu Dinghe lifted his official robe and yelled angrily: "That piece of mother's land, send a beggar. I just felt like giving you a fart! (I kicked you to death)"

"Zhu Bajie, I'm a scumbag and I'll screw you up! (I'll stone you to death)" Li Guolou didn't forget the local dialect, and blurted out the curse words.

This is the friendship of fellow countrymen, too hard! (Satisfying) Li Guolou's eyes are narrowed into slits when he smiles, there is no intrigue, no need to think about the consequences of scolding mothers, the people in the room seem to be back in their hometown, pretending to be bandits at the bridge to buy road money like when they were young, and enjoying the addiction of the King of Zushan .

These five fellow students are Li Guolou's backup talents. The Wudi team uses Jianghu people, and the Wendi team's hometown people are the most reliable. As long as Li Guolou is promoted, these fellow students will rely on them.Only by forming a team can there be no disadvantages. Li Guolou has seen how the indomitable people hold their weapons high.
