They could have rescued the people on the day of the accident, but they all drank too much that day, and by the time they woke up, the fire had already burned at its most intense.
Several people also went to see the county magistrate and re-explained what happened.
A few days later, Li Wenyan's funeral was held in Huangtian County.
Li Wenyan's side clan relatives all reluctantly attended the funeral. They originally thought that Li Wenyan had no children and that his things would be theirs after a hundred years. However, no one expected that he would be burned down like this.
Lost.
So many calligraphy and paintings were destroyed.
Those are all valuable things.
Little did they know, all the calligraphy and paintings they were talking about now appeared in the yard of Song Chen's family, Li Wenyan.
"Master, this will be your new identity from now on. You should first see if there are any problems. If there are any problems, just tell them and I will have someone solve them right away."
Cang Xiuxuan took care of this matter personally. He brought everyone out while the fire prevention was burning money.
In other words, there is no one in Li Wenyan's house. The calligraphy and paintings that the Li family's side members cherish are all fakes. Li Wenyan basically took the real ones with him when he left.
Li Wenyan looked at the household registration handed over by Cang Xiuxuan and glanced at the information on it.
He immediately stood up and saluted Cang Xiuxuan, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The household registration was already set up for you before. The name on it is Li Yan, and the registered place is also Beiguan Village.
"Master Li, please get up quickly. After this incident, the glory of the past has been buried. From now on, the master is really just a master. I am wronged."
Cang Xiuxuan asked for Li Wenyan's consent before doing this, but now he still had to say this.
"King Qi is serious. This matter is a relief for me. King Qi should be able to understand me. Life under surveillance is sad. Without King Qi's help, Li may have been under such surveillance for the rest of his life."
To me, it is the most painful thing to live in the world."
Those great achievements in the past belong to Li Wenyan and have gone with them. There is nothing wrong with that.
Now that he has become Li Yan, he begins to enjoy his new life when he is about to enter his sixtieth year.
A life of freedom.
This was a level of ease that he had never experienced in his past life.
"King Qi, please wait a moment. I have something else I hope King Qi can help with."
"Master, please speak."
Li Wenyan turned around and went to his study and took out a painting, "This is a famous painting that I got by chance in my early years. No one in the world knows that I have this painting. Today I took it out hoping to exchange it for some money with King Qi...
…”
Li Wenyan felt a little embarrassed when he said this. The money he had saved over the years as an official was actually not much, but he had something he wanted to do now, and the money he had on hand would definitely not be enough in the future.
"Master, you..." Cang Xiuxuan was very confused, "Master, are you short of money?"
Li Wenyan smiled and waved his hand, "I'm not short of money for living. I have some on hand. I haven't spent a penny since I've been here for so long. That girl Xiaochen has prepared everything in advance."
"Now that I have a new identity, I don't have to live a cautious life in the future. I just thought that I would settle in Beiguan Village anyway. I want to do something for this place. Li has no other talents in life except
You can still master some knowledge, and you can still teach a few students."
"Master plans to set up a school!" Cang Xiuxuan was very surprised.
In addition to Li Wenyan's wealth of knowledge, what the emperor feared the most was his insight into people's hearts. Cang Xiuxuan's reaction made him suddenly excited.
"Does King Qi also have this plan?"
Cang Xiu
It was handed over to the master. As far as I know, she has recently found a teacher."
Cang Xiuxuan was surprised because he didn't expect Li Wenyan to have such an idea. This coincided with Song Chen's previous ideas. In this way, the problems Song Chen was worried about before did not exist at all.
"To be honest, Chen'er has been thinking about this for a long time. I guess she is planning to wait until the results of her uncle's county examination are released before announcing the news. This way, you will be famous and can help his uncle.
Make some face."
Li Wenyan nodded when he heard this, "Although Xiaochen is young, he thinks things through very clearly and comprehensively. Sometimes I feel ashamed."
But Li Wenyan soon felt a little unhappy again. Just now King Qi said that she had already found a wife, so why hadn't he heard from her yet?
Li Wenyan's expression changed so quickly that Cang Xiuxuan could see the grievance on his face and couldn't help but smile.
"Master, you are too worried. The reason why Chen'er has not told you yet is because she is afraid that you will not agree and will leave. She wants to wait until your household registration is finalized, so that you will not be able to
gone."
Cang Xiuxuan didn't think that much at first, but he finally figured it out when he heard Shopkeeper Cui talk about how she told Liu Juren.
Li Wenyan really couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, "This is indeed what that girl thinks. Let's not talk about it for now. I'll let her know that my household registration is settled. Look at her.
What to say next."
From what he said, he just wanted to tease Song Chen.
Cang Xiuxuan's original intention was to refuse, because people like Song Chen would soon know that they were cheating on her, and she would definitely not say anything to Master Li when the time came.
All grievances will be vented on him.
But he was really curious and wanted to see her expression at that moment.
This girl is usually too strict. Cang Xiuxuan doesn't want to miss this rare opportunity to see her embarrassed.
So after a brief struggle, he agreed to Li Wenyan's proposal.
**
At the end of March, the county examination began.
The county examination is the first of the child examinations. After passing it, you become a child student and are eligible to continue to take subsequent examinations.
The examiner of the county examination is the county magistrate of the county. Each county has an examination room. Whether there are four or five examinations is decided by the county magistrate.
Ordinary science examination sheds, large and small, face north and south. There are east and west gates at the far south, surrounded by wooden fences, and a large courtyard. The north of the courtyard is the main entrance, called "Dragon Gate". Behind the dragon gate is a large courtyard for candidates to wait for their names to be called.
.
There are three halls further north, with an aisle in the middle. The examiner sits in the west room and faces roll call in the east. Further north, there are many simple multi-row seats for candidates to write.
There were five exams in Baofeng County where Wang Shengwei was located.
Before admission, each candidate needs to be searched to prevent entrapment.
Song Chen had not seen the imperial examinations of this era, so she also came with Wang Shengwei's examination this time.
Not many students took the exam in Baofeng County. On the day when the exam began, before dawn, the county magistrate called the roll, and all candidates entered the venue with their exam baskets.
Some of them had already taken the exam several times and looked about the same age as Wang Shengwei.
This is Wang Shanwei's first time to take this exam. People who are in their early twenties are not considered old in the outside world, but among scholars, it is a bit rare to take the exam for the first time in their early twenties.
However, in addition to giving lectures, Master Li also explained to him all the rules during the exam.
After entering the venue, bow to the examiner in salute and stand behind the examiner.
Candidates are called by name and enter the lobby of the central hall to receive their papers. They press their seat numbers on the papers and take their seats.
The first session is the main session. The admission is wider and those who can write fluently can be admitted. Those who win will be allowed to take the prefectural exam. It is up to the candidates to decide whether to participate in the following sessions.
Wang Shengwei followed Master's instructions one by one.
Each exam will be handed in on the same day, and the entrance will be opened in batches after the exam.
The other students all looked disheveled when they walked out of the examination room, but Wang Shanwei was the only one who felt refreshed.
When he was at the Song family before, Song Chen would often use spiritual spring water to help him regulate his body. The old diseases had long since ceased to affect him, and his current physical condition was comparable to that of the healthiest young people.
"Sheng'er, how are you?" Wang Kuitu asked eagerly.
"Uncle, how do you feel?" Song Chen also stood aside and asked him with a smile.
Wang Sheng smiled and said, "It's very relaxing. Don't worry, there should be no problem."
After hearing his words, Wang Kuitu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Wang Shengwei was in good condition, they rushed back to Beiguan Village that day. After returning, Song Chen cooked a very delicious meal.
Wang Shengwei had eaten dry food for several days in the examination room. Now he felt like crazy when he ate such delicious food. He ate three big bowls.
In the end, it was Song Chen who reminded him that he stopped eating.
After eating, Wang Shanwei went to the master's yard, but the master did not ask him anything about the exam this time, because Li Wenyan knew that Wang Shanwei would have no problem taking the exam this time.
If he didn't have to take the county exam before taking other exams, he would have wanted Wang Shengwei to take the higher-level exam directly.
"You should rest for the next two days. When the good news comes, we will start preparing for the next exam."
"Yes, the student understands, thank you for your hard work."
Wang Shengwei was very respectful.
Two days later, people in government uniforms came to Beiguan Village with gongs and drums, "Good news, good news, good news for Wang Shengwei!"
Everyone in Beiguan Village knew that Wang Shanwei participated in the county examination. They originally thought that Wang Shanwei was too arrogant. As far as they knew, Wang Shanwei started studying less than a year ago, and he actually got it.
Dare to take the county examination, which is something that others only dare to do after studying hard for many years.
There was unexpectedly good news.
"My lord, are you sure this is Wang Shengwei's good news?"
"Yes, it is Wang Shengwei. They said he was Wang Shengwei from Wangcun. But when we went to Wangcun, they said he was in Beiguan Village. Could you please tell me where they live? We have to go and report the good news."
