"My mother, I think you should not be too anxious to find a husband for your elder sister. Even if you want to find you, you have to wait for me to take the exam for a scholar this time. Such a scholar's sister is so nice, and it is better to say marriage like this!" The scholars of this era have a high status, so there is nothing wrong with Li Si saying this.

Old Gu nodded after hearing this: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

"Well, you know the milk. After you have it, you'll make sure it's done! Don't make it for the elder sister."

"Okay, I understand."

"Then I'll continue reading!"

"Okay, go!"

Old Gu watched Li Si leave the kitchen and smiled and went back to see her pot again. She had never thought that Li Si would not be a scholar at all. It can only be said that in Old Gu's mind, his grandson is the best, so how could he fail the scholar?

Li Si, who returned to the room, nodded with a smile under Da Ya's expectant gaze, and Da Ya was so happy that she grinned, especially like a silly girl in the village.

The next day, except for the second aunt who was still in confinement, everyone sent Li Si at the door. Originally, Li Dashan and Lao Gu meant that they asked the boss to accompany Li Si to take the exam, but Li Si refused.

After all, he went to the exam, and his father didn't know anything, so it was useless if he went there. What Mr. Gu said was that he was taking care of him. He was going to the exam with Li Congwen, so there would naturally be servants to help.

If his father follows him, he will have to be distracted to take care of him! Forget it, he can do it alone, so Li Si directly refused.

Because Li Si did not tell the Li family in advance when he would go back to Taohua County, they did not send a carriage to pick him up in advance. Li Si was riding in the ox cart in the village.

On the bumpy ox cart, Li Si turned around and looked at the reluctant and expectant eyes of the family, and felt warm. He was an orphan in his previous life, but he didn't expect that there would be so many relatives who care about him in this life. This is home!

Li Dahai came back from outside with a bird cage. From a distance, he saw Li Si get off the ox cart and quickly walked forward.

"Siba, Siba..."

"Uncle, are you going for a walk?"

"Yes! Oh my uncle said to you. You don't want to come back, and you don't have a message in advance and ask the carriage at home to pick you up. How uncomfortable it is to sit in the carriage." Li Dahai subconsciously wanted to pat Li Si on the back, but later he thought that Li Si was only 9 years old, so he should not get rid of the film, which would affect the exam. He had to put down his hand in disappointment.

"It's okay, Uncle Genzi wants to come to the county, so I'm just a little bit." Li Si didn't explain. He didn't want to bother his uncle and his family too much. He could pass such a small thing.

Fortunately, Li Dahai is a big man, so he didn’t have much trouble. He called Li Si and went in together!

Because the exam is imminent, Li Si and Li Congwen did not leave their homes in the next few days, and they moved into the courtyard not far from the county government until the day before the exam. This time, Li Congwen also made up his mind to take the exam well and had not gone out to play during this period. Li Si was very happy to see him like this. Li Si really hoped that Brother Congwen and himself could pass the exam this time.

On the day of the exam, it was not dawn and everyone was unable to see each other's fingers. They all got up because dawn was about to start entering the venue.

Li Si put all the things he wanted to prepare into the book box, and once a day, you can submit the papers in advance and not bring food. You can submit the papers in advance so that you don’t have to eat inside, but if you take the exam slowly, you can only find the invigilator to buy food inside.

Fortunately, I can bring my own clean water. Most people nowadays drink well water directly. However, Li Si specially told his servants that he and Li Congwen were boiling and then warm water.

It's only February, and the weather is still very cold outside, especially in the early morning. Although it's close, the wind is still a bit loud. Even when walking on the road, the wind is biting even when wearing cotton jackets. Li Congwen and Li Si take the exam, and Li Dahai and Li Guangwu are accompanied, and two servants are helping to carry things behind.

Li Si thought they had arrived early, but when he arrived outside the ceremony room, he saw a long queue and realized that they had not arrived early.

Next, candidates continued to join their team. It was not dawn and high torches were erected outside the ceremony room. More and more people were on the scene. Fortunately, there were also yamen runners and constables next to them to maintain order, otherwise it would be a disaster if the candidates and relatives who were sent to the exam were definitely given.

It is also stipulated that only candidates can queue up, so the people who came to take the exam were blocked five meters away from the line, but they all stood there and did not leave.

Seeing that the candidates in the team were trembling with cold, Li Si was a little grateful for the change in his body, otherwise his premature birth would have been too late.

"Brother Congwen, are you cold?" Turning around and seeing Li Congwen trembled with coldness, Li Si sighed inwardly, "Brother Congwen, rub your hands, and then your feet keep jumping up and down, which will warm up a lot."

"Can it work? But... it won't be strange? And it's so indecent."

"Then do you want to fall ill and miss this exam again, or do what I said?" Li Si gave Li Congwen a angrily. It's time, and he still cares whether it's rude or not!

Li Congwen thought about it, but he didn't dare to move too much, and he just jumped lightly for a few times, which was not abrupt. Li Si took a look and then withdrew his gaze. He couldn't really make Li Congwen move too much. After all, there are still so many yamen runners watching next to him.

The most important thing is that although the scene was dark and crowded, the sound was not loud. The most common sound was the sound of everyone sniffing their noses due to the cold.

The waiting time was difficult. Li Si felt that time was particularly long. However, Li Congwen had passed the exam one time and was mentally prepared. So except for feeling a little cold, he didn't feel anything else.

When it was a little dawn, we could finally start entering the venue. Li Si and Li Congwen were still in front, so it was their turn in less than a quarter of an hour.

There were two soldiers guarding the door of the ritual room, which should be the so-called "search". Li Si first handed the soldier on the left his identity document and examination card, and then the bookcase was taken over by another soldier.

There were not many things in his bookcase, only two brushes, ink ingots, inkstones, pen holders, pen holders, and water bags containing warm water. It was nothing to check these.

Then he asked him to take off his cotton jacket and check whether there was any entrainment. Fortunately, the soldiers checked quickly. Li Si, who was allowed to enter, breathed a sigh of relief. He finally had to enter, which was really troublesome.
