Forty-four: Standing up for fame (1)

Lixi Lane is very quiet, and the dull sky light gradually spreads. Water accumulated between the cracks of the blue bricks reflects a glimmer of light. Several gray-haired, thick and hard rats swam past the mouths of the crawling mechanical dog.

The lively performance of the county trial was isolated from this place. In the 16 years since the imperial examination was held in Fuli, there has been no Qi refiner in Lixi Lane.

It’s already Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is a guise of “Fourty pounds of autumn oil” hanging under the soy sauce house at the entrance of the alley. Chen Ji’s oil shop has a fragrance of oil residue all year round. As the owner of the oil shop, the middle-aged man is standing at the door and looking at the yard of No. 16 in the alley from afar. He regrets that the beautiful girl hasn’t come to feed the peanut cake for a long time. Could it be that he has moved away?

At this time, there was a hustle and bustle in the distance. The oil shop owner turned his head and looked at it. There were crowds of people on the cloud bridge on the east side. At first glance, they were the people who reported the list and watched the fun.

Just a glance at Master Chen, he lost interest. The county trial was lively and he had no relationship with us, the young people. After a while, he was stunned. Why did these people seem to be coming to Lixi Lane?

In house No. 16, Lixi Lane, the oil lamp has burned to the point where the lights are flashing.

Bai You chatted for a long time and finally covered up the conversation and widened his eyes with Sanjin.

Li Buzhuo was not a talkative person at first. He took out a piece of cotton gauze and dipped it in some oil, and began to wipe the Jingchan Sword. He used three-point force to wipe the thin and bright sword body slightly heated, then put away the sword, and then wiped the sword and the Baigang Sword one after another.

Lixi Lane is very turbulent. Swords are stored here and are prone to rust and need to be oiled from time to time. However, Li Buzhuo's sword is used at this time, and the purpose of diverting attention is greater than maintenance.

The atmosphere was cold for a while, Bai You couldn't help but say, "No one has come to report the list for so long. Could it be that Brother Li has won the lead?"

The servant was secretly complaining to the side that no one came to report the list for so long, 80% of them were...

"I'm afraid I've failed."

After Li Buzhuo wiped the sword, his mind was a little blank, and he said this for some reason.

Bai You said: "I have won the first place, Brother Li, can you fail the exam?"

"I was confused during the exam and wrote a little out of the way. I didn't have the luck of you to suppress the high school entrance examination questions in advance." Li Buzhuo didn't notice that his tone was a little sore.

Bai You was so worried that he could not speak for a long time after a long time, he said, "Do you know why I am sure you will definitely win the first place?"

"Um?"

"I like you. It's not because you got the best craftsmanship skills just after entering the county school. It doesn't matter if you knocked Fang Xing in the face when you entered the county school. Do you know, what did my second uncle say about you in the recommendation letter written for you when you entered the county school?"

"What did you say."

"The quality of unconventional jade!" Bai You almost came out, coughed dryly, and opened the folding fan to maintain his temperament. "My second uncle was proficient in the water mirror viewing when he was young. That year, I won the bet with the Buddhist Jueming Badman. I swaggered into the Galan Temple. The Sutra Pavilion, which claimed that the dust outside could not float into half a piece of dust, learned a set of six doors in the little room. The kung fu was extraordinary."

"When I was wearing open-crotch pants, he said that I was in the shape of the purple palace Chaoyuan. I was idle all my life and it was difficult to become a great person. Fortunately, I had self-knowledge and might have some luck. It would be a problem for me to be rich and noble. Isn't this a perfect idea?"

"Just turn your mind around. My second uncle is the chief supervisor of the county exam this time. He doesn't have a name for his name. Even if your test is not so good, how can those deputy exams be without a wink, and even a B-class?"

"That's the reason." Li Buzhuo nodded, and he was also worried too much. He said that all the scriptures were correct, and Mo Yi did not make a big mistake, so it was unlikely that he would miss the title.

If I read the three sets of annotations in the Taoist sacred book in my dream and memorize them like a stream, I will not be able to pass the county examination, and I am afraid there will be no need to open the imperial examination in the Tiangong Palace again.

"Will it be together!" Bai You knocked on the table with no pain with the folding fan that looked cheap.

At this moment, the sound of the gong being beaten suddenly broke through Ning Jing, and a shout accompanied by the sound of horse hooves: "Please come out quickly, congratulations to the leader of high school!"

Li Buzhuo and Bai You looked at each other and looked at Sanjin again. Bai You shoved Li Buzhuo's shoulders: "Why don't you go out quickly? How can you win the first place except you in this ghost place?"

The outsider shouted again: "Good news, Lord Li of the government is not good at taking the lead in the high school county test, and the court newspaper is in the yellow armor!"

Li Buzhuo opened his mouth and came to his senses in an instant.

Two silver crocks were taken out from their waist bag as a happy money. When they thought, they were really the leader, and the two silver crocks were probably stingy.

Bai You laughed and scolded: "Look at you, the poor person, the leader gave you a lucky money. I have never heard of anyone who thinks it's too much."

Li Buzhuo took a deep breath, nodded, walked out the door, Sanjin looked incredible and surprised, and followed closely behind.

As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, three people in blue clothes reported the list turned over and dismounted and congratulated Li Buzhuo. Li Buzhuo gave three people a silver croaker, and the three of them happily held it. After the congratulations and flattery, someone came to report it on horseback.

People in Lixi Lane went out to look here together. First, they had a big mouth, and then they chattered and talked, with their expressions full of honor.

With a leader, Lixi Lane can also add more good things to the Yong'an County Chronicle. More importantly, although the leader is not as good as Jie Yuan and the top scorer, some vendors will also like this area, take advantage of the title of the leader this year, and open a winery, teahouse, inn and B&B. In this way, the land price of Lixi Lane can be increased by 10% or 20%.

Li Buzhuo finally dealt with three waves of people who reported the list, and spent eight silver steaks to look at the alley. Another wave of acquaintances was the same year in Yong'an County School.

As soon as he could take a breath, someone pulled Li Buzhuo's corner of his clothes. Li Buzhuo turned his head and saw Sanjin holding his mouth, his cheeks were bulging, and his big eyes were filled with tears. After blinking, it fell down. He grinned as if he was afraid of embarrassment and smiled.

Two months in Youzhou, there was no wind and sand, and I saw less sun in Lixi alley, but my skin turned much whiter, even if my body was thinner, otherwise I would have been involved with the word "good-looking".

These tears were obviously happy. Li Buzhuo hugged Sanjin and patted her head and said, "Okay, I won the first place, and I will still be the leader. After a while, I will buy new clothes and change to a new house. I should have a carriage for transportation... And your Yanshi doll, go into the house first, and wait for me to come back."

Three jin sniffed, took two steps back and looked at Li Buzhuo's old-fashioned cotton robe, and whispered: "You don't wear better clothes?"

"I'll make it for you?" Li Buzhuo looked down at his outfit, yellow cotton robe, mature leather belt, and white black boots. He was still a good match. When he walked to Lingguanya, he would change to a decent Taoist boy's usual clothes when he came out.

Bai You asked his entourage to stay and help Sanjin look at the yard. The group of Yong'an County students were approaching the same year.
