At the welcoming banquet, Li Buzhuo and Shen Zhu agreed to visit the Shen family in four days.

Four days later, the first day after the New Year.

The so-called New Year's Day is the first day of spring. The New Year's Day is the day of reunion. According to the customs of Youzhou, the New Year's Day is a lantern festival that costs three times and spans for two months.

After making an agreement with Li Buzhuo, Chen Zhu left in a hurry. He needed to handle things around the Chinese New Year, whether it was relatives or business associates, and he was so busy that he came to pick up Li Buzhuo today, so he made a special time.

In contrast, Li Buzhuo was leisurely. He was neither from a local family nor had much to do. His appearance of drinking and eating food made Chen Zhu envious.

Li Buzhuo had already asked Guo Pu to arrange his residence, leave Mingyue Tower, and then head up the city.

The tall buildings in Xinfeng Mansion are stacked with layers of view, but the lighting in the upper city where Mingyue Building is located is pretty good. When Li Buzhuo was riding the suspended car, he saw that there were much less pedestrians in the streets and alleys. This was the eve of the most lively season in the year-old and the most deserted time in Xinfeng Mansion. It must have been the hottest period when purchasing festival goods before the New Year, so that vendors also went home one after another.

Apart from the scattered artists who are still working hard to make money, those who can still drink and taste the customs and customs in the street restaurants are those who come to take the exam from all over the Xinfeng Prefecture of Youzhou like Li Buzhuo.

The Spring Examination is scheduled to be after January. On the Xin day of January, all candidates will start to register their names and go to the Holy Academy to celebrate the ceremony. Therefore, candidates from other places will usually give up reunion with their families and arrive at Xinfeng Mansion in advance.

But this is only one of the reasons.

In fact, in addition to the candidates in the palace examination, other Qi Refiners in the palace usually spend the New Year's Day in the Xinfeng Mansion. Only that day, the saints on Xiyi Mountain would lead the venerables of the Seven Heaven Palace to show their holy saints on the altar of the country, so as to spread five-colored earth to "pray to the valley" for the people of Youzhou.

This is the only chance that almost everyone can see a saint appearing in their entire lives. Unlike the clay sculptures that do not have vitality in the holy academy, it is the true Dharma image of a saint.

On the road, in the Horseshoe Lane in Shangcheng, there is a courtyard rented by Li Buzhuo in advance morning.

Two in and two out, surrounded by the hand-paper veranda in the backyard, there is a small small pavilion with rockery. The golden mechanism of scooping water and watering flowers by the rockery is still made by three jin.

In the past six months, the income from the inner warehouse has been dozens of gold, and with the income from the winery, it is more than enough to rent this yard.

In the past two months, Sanjin and He Qian have lived in this yard, and there is also an old lady who cooks.

After settling down, Li Buzhuo thought that Guo Pu was an orphan, but the Heqian family was still at the winery at the foot of Jumang Mountain, so he asked the old man to go home to celebrate the festival. Although he was granted the title of Marquis, Li Buzhuo did not have to have the obsession with carriages and horses when he went out.

In the afternoon of that day, Li Buzhuo opened a volume in his house, which recorded the changes in the past sixteen years of the palace examination.

At first, the Tiangong was just established, and the imperial examination system was not perfect. In addition, everything was full of people, and there were so many places to employ people, so the examination was not difficult. It is said that the prefecture examination in the early years was the same as the county examination today. However, since then, the number of imperial examinations in the prefectures decreased year by year, and the competition became increasingly fierce, making the difficulty higher.

In the subsequent examination, knowledge, mind and practice, you must be able to get the first place in the three items of the year, and the assessment form becomes more and more varied.

The Xinfeng Prefecture is one of the important centers of the Middle Land. The change in the imperial examination system has always been the first to try it here. Take the last year's examination for example. First, he used the knowledge level to defeat 90% of the candidates. In the last step, the seven main examiners used overseas treasures, Mirage Pearls to jointly display their magical powers, allowing the candidates to fall into their dreams. When they woke up, they set their final rankings. As for the specific assessment content in the dream, they did not spread.

Although the candidates were unable to prepare for such an exam, so that many talents failed the exam unexpectedly. However, the facts proved that this method of exam that needed to test the candidates' chances was selected by the Qi Refiners selected in Youzhou over the years, far superior to Qi Refiners in other states. Among them, the most outstanding top scholars such as Tao Zhu, Wei Yixin, and Tang Bailiu were already ranked as Grand Secretary of the Tiangong or the Chief Secretary of the Frontier of Yizhou.

There is a change in the practice of the sword in the Mansion. Li Buzhuo has a firm confidence in his heart, but his knowledge and nature must be cautious.

"We are rich, but..."

At dusk, a table of food was placed in the small pavilion in the backyard. Sanjin sat at the table, looking around, and suddenly said to Li Buzhuo: "The family is not prosperous."

Li Buzhuo was picking up the amber-colored head-held wine brought from the winery, blessed by Jumang's divine power, and savoring it. Hearing this, he raised his eyelids and looked at Sanjin for no reason.

Sanjin hesitated for a moment and said embarrassedly: "Mrs. I told me something before my death."

Li Buzhuo lowered his eyes, grabbed a chopstick of green fish and put it in his mouth, without raising his head.

"Say that when I get older, I want you to help me get married with a close eye?"

"How do you know?" Sanjin covered his mouth and exclaimed softly.

"What else can she worry about me."

Li Buzhuo sighed slightly in his heart. He was sleeping in the first place. Although his mother held his hand and said the four words "successful", she would not really hold this hope. The only thing she could remember was to marry a wife.

In fact, the Li family was not rich, but they raised this girl Sanjin. When they were in Tiema City, their neighbors joked about Li Buzhuo, saying that Sanjin was Li Buzhuo's child bride, but Li Buzhuo knew that his mother would not have such thoughts before her death.

According to Li Buzhuo's understanding of Qi Caiyi, although in the eyes of others, her son is a waste who eats after eating, sleeps after sleeping, but for her, she thought that Li Buzhuo could marry a girl with good health and good health, and best to be beautiful. Sanjin had a poor foundation in her body, was dark and thin, and she looked down on her.

"You guessed it all..."

Sanjin was said in advance by Li Buzhuo, and she stuttered for a moment. She thought that some cat would not eat fish, and after Li Buzhuo became the leader, she would have a lot of opportunities to contact women and naturally fell in love with others. She never thought that Li Buzhuo never had any intention of this. She had to bite the bullet and ask, "Do you want to invite Bingren Xiang to a family? The last time the posts were still at home."

"What are you worried about?" Li Buzhuo laughed in silence, dipped a chopstick and reached to Sanjin's mouth, "Try it, this wine is not spicy."
