After Li Hua and He Wen returned home, they sent the list of copied items to Li Mingren. This time Huiyuan was Zhou Hanwen, a native of Lizhou, and was 28 years old.

Li Mingren had some impression of this person. Because he happened to be facing the examination room during the exam and left the examination room, the person walked in front and someone called him. Only then did Li Mingren know the name of this person. He looked like an honest person, but he didn't expect that his knowledge was so solid.

The second place in the imperial examination was later called tribute. There were 46 candidates who came to Jinzhou City to take the exam. Not only were the candidates that were freshly released last year, but also the candidates who were referenced in previous years. Some of them were already gray and still came to take the exam just to be able to stand in the first class.

This time, there are quite a lot of people taking the exam. There are sixteen people passing the exam, which looks quite a lot, but it is a bit unfavorable compared to those in Zhoucheng, which has 20 people and 20 people.

Previously, Wen Zhiyu, a dissident agent from Jinzhou City, ranked ahead of Li Mingren and entered the top ten. After that, Zheng Yue was also ranked ahead of Li Mingren, but Li Mingren had no impression of Zheng Yue. The other candidates in Jinzhou City were ranked behind Li Mingren.

Li Mingren was just watching, and listened to the sound of gongs and drums outside. It was probably the official who reported the good news. The couple hurried out to greet him, spread the money, set off firecrackers, and also gave him a big red envelope to the official who reported the good news.

The official who reported the good news weighed the weight in his hand, but the words of congratulations did not stop. The people who watched the fun also followed suit.

"This street is still prosperous. You see, I heard that Huiyuan lives next door. The masters inside have all passed the exam, and both families have passed the exam. Do you think it is prosperous?" The gossiping aunts were discussing which portals have passed the Huaiyuan Street.

Zhao Yunlan listened, but she didn't expect that the noisy students next door would all win, one of them was Zhou Hanwen. The next door was Huiyuan, and the good news would be early, so when the official sent him, Li Mingren and others were still blocking the streets, so they were not sure about the situation. Thinking about this, the rankings of the people next door should be ahead of Li Mingren.

The family went in. Li Mingren looked at the wall next door, and his heart was stunned. As the wife said, he was a talented player. He was just thinking about Zhou Hanwen's honest look, and he really couldn't behave like a person.

After Li Mingren left, Zhao Yunlan hid in the backyard reading a book. Noisy sounds came from time to time in the front yard. Sometimes Li Hua could hear his master howling poems, just howling. Maybe he was excited to drink next door.

Li Mingren came back drunk at night and smelled the smell of his own wine, so he could only stay in the front yard to rest. It was just because Zhao Yunlan didn't like to smell the strange smell when she was sleeping.

There are so many rich people in this capital. Li Hua has received a lot of gifts in the past few days, and it was given by the rich families. He just left the gift and left the post.

It’s just that Li Mingren is a otakus. He developed the days of studying before. If he hadn’t accompanied Zhao Yunlan, Li Mingren could have stayed at home every day. So after living for so long, Li Mingren had never met the students next door, so he didn’t know him in the tribute school.

Zhao Yunlan: "It's time to go there for just one day?"

Zhao Yunlan looked at the gifts and thought about the gifts she received when she passed the exam before. She thought that there were too many people this time, so those rich people could not give gifts next to each other, right?

I thought so, but He Wen and Li Hua were still paying attention. Seeing that the palace examination was just a few days ago, Li Mingren couldn't be distracted.

"Brother Mingren, congratulations!"

Zhao Yunlan: "Well, my third brother went to see it and said he was still asleep, and it was nothing. In the morning, I sent some food to the next door and asked He Hua to make some braised pork to deliver."

Zhao Yunlan patted Li Mingren on the shoulder, "Try hard!"

Li Mingren: "Hahaha, this week Huiyuan is very interesting. He originally wanted to take the path of a military general, but his family disagreed, so he remained stalemate. Finally, the family let go and agreed to him, but he asked to get the exam first. Unexpectedly, he passed the exam."

"Brother, you are going to the palace!"

"I know, you've been chanting several times! Don't delay my meal, I'm going to hurry up and set off."

Early the next morning, several servants next door sent gifts, and Zhou Hanwen also posted a post to Li Mingren, inviting him to come to make friends with poetry.

Last night, Liu Seung-min drank more than Lee Myung-in. Maybe she met an excellent person, so she became excited unconsciously, which aroused the enthusiasm of a young man.

Zhao Yunlan smiled and then asked, "Has the price of that shop not been negotiated?"

Lee Myung-in: "Well, has anyone sent to see Seung-min?"

In the evening, Li Mingren kept Liu Seung-min and ate a meal to celebrate.

Li Mingren nodded, showing that he understood.

Zhao Yunlan also visited the shop. The location is good, and the shop is OK overall. The backyard is very large, so it is OK to live in this family.

Zhao Yunlan came over and looked at Li Mingren slumped on the couch, her brows frowned, and she pressed her head helplessly.

Li Mingren pulled Zhao Yunlan's hand: "Hehe, I'm worried about my wife."

Li Mingren naturally accepted the invitation post and planned to take Liu Chengmin with him. Zhao Yunlan chose a blue robe for Li Mingren, which looked quite energetic.

After reading the news, the servant from Liu Chengmin's family went back to report it, not long after, Liu Chengmin came to the door with a gift to congratulate him.

Li Mingren: "I heard from them that Zhou Huiyuan's grandfather was the Grand Tutor before, and after resigning from office, he took his family back to Lizhou."

Before he knew it, he arrived at the palace examination and Li Mingli was even more excited than Li Mingren.

Zhao Yunlan: "Then his family?"

Li Mingren bowed and returned the gift.

Zhao Yunlan: "It's really not possible in the capital. I'm afraid that if I meet my family with this gift, I can transport it to other places for silver."

Li Mingli shook his head: "I just said casually, I'd better keep such a good thing."

By the time Li Mingren got up, it was already the afternoon of the second day. He touched his head and was so dizzy that Ye Sheng fed water to wash Li Mingren. He felt comfortable after eating a bowl of porridge brought by He Hua.

Li Mingli: "Well, I don't even dare to think about three thousand five hundred taels."

Ye Sheng was sent back to serve the food in the middle of the way. The gifts he sent yesterday included food made by his own home. Several candidates liked it very much. Moreover, they were all middle-aged men. They ate them all in a short while. Li Mingren told Ye Sheng to come back and get some more.

"Every inch of land is worth every inch, let's talk about it. If it really doesn't work, let's give up." Zhao Yunlan considered the price to be less than 3,000 taels, but that shop is indeed suitable, so Zhao Yunlan was willing to let Li Mingli talk about it again.

Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Mingren and said, "Since we know the situation next door, we should also express our feelings."

"Either don't go out or just go to get drunk. You say you~" Zhao Yunlan didn't blame her, but just looked at Li Mingren and couldn't help but complain.

Zhao Yunlan looked at the courtesy at the table and sighed helplessly, asking He Wen to register and make a book.

"Yes, madam."

Li Mingren smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, madam! Zhou Huiyuan said that his madam is coming to the capital, and you can walk around at that time."

Li Mingli sighed with a smile: "Although this gift is good, it just cannot be converted into silver."

Zhao Yunlan: "Forget it, don't go out these days. You know that people are better than you, so just study at home obediently."

"Ye Sheng, prepare a serving of these things and send them to the next door!" Zhao Yunlan pointed to the local specialties at home, soap, building blocks, and some food items.

Li Mingli nodded like a garlic, but still couldn't help but be excited.

Zhao Yunlan said earnestly: "I have worked hard for so long, and I have the last step today. I will still be calm and don't make any mistakes."

Li Mingren nodded, and after dinner, he got on a carriage and headed towards the palace.

Zhao Yunlan was busy cleaning at home. The weather was getting warmer and she had to take out some seasonal clothes to wash and dry.
