Li Guolou was so excited that he turned over and bowed, saying, "Thank you very much for your cultivation, teacher. I will definitely re-read the class and strive for a good rank in the exam, so I can pay tribute to the teacher."
Li Guolou was excited and tired at the same time. He put his hands on the ground and felt dizzy. He couldn't even get up. Tears were streaming down his face. In this life, he must be like Zhuge Kongming and die exhausted to repay his debt.
Prince Gong promoted him exceptionally. He never thought that with such a thick leg, his prosperous days would be imminent.
There was only one person in the Qing Dynasty who was treated like him. I couldn't help but wonder if such a thing happened in the previous dynasty? Suddenly I remembered that there was such a person in the Ming Dynasty. A "township tribute" came to Beijing with his servants to take the exam.
Thinking that he was going the wrong way, the servant bumped into the sedan chair of 9,000-year-old Wei Zhongxian in the middle of the night. The servant was caught, and in danger, he risked his life and risked death. He lied and said that he was a scholar who came to Beijing to take the exam, and even yelled,
It was Wei Zhongxian's fault for not being able to take the exam in time. Wei Zhongxian thought he had met a great sage, so he asked his entourage to bring his famous thorn and let the servant enter the examination room. The servant did not even need to take the exam and became a Jinshi. However, his master later became a Jinshi.
As his entourage, the "master and servant" went to local officials together. Later generations adapted this historical fact into a story about "promoting to three levels in a row", and the legend of the protagonist "Zhang Haogu" has been passed down to this day.
After Li Guolou left Qiuju Hall, Zhang Jingtian, the clerk, asked: "Mr. Li, is Emperor Li Hongzao a relative of yours?"
Li Guolou shook his head and said: "It's impossible to tell the difference. Li Hongzao is from Gaoyang, Zhili. We were the same family five hundred years ago. But he will be my teacher from now on, hehehehehe!"
Li Hongzao was the teacher of Emperor Tongzhi. Li Hongzao was the examiner for this scientific examination, which was an important sign of Emperor Tongzhi's pro-government. The emperor's disciples would benefit the world, Aixinjueluo; after Zai Chun took charge, he would use his own disciples, the new generation of Jinshi.
He is about to show his talent for the first time. And Li Guolou will squeeze into this luxurious carriage. The first thirty Jinshi who have passed the exam cannot escape, that is, they are at least the second-class Jinshi.
Zhang Jingtian sighed: "Mr. Li's rise to fame is just around the corner. Don't forget about the well digger in the future."
Li Guolou bowed and said with a smile: "How dare you forget Mr. Zhang's support? Mr. Zhang is a great talent. I am willing to make friends with you. I will definitely pay you a visit someday. Can you tell me your address?"
"Oh, brother, I live in Kuabang Hutong. There are two elm trees at the door. It's easy to find."
"Oh! I've been there before. It's a great place. It's very close to Mr. Zhang's work. You can reach home after just a few turns." Although Li Guolou is not from the capital, he has long been a map of the capital and gave the name of an alley.
, he knows where it is.
Li Hongzao's official title was "Du Cha Yuan Zuo Du Yu Shi", a first-class official. As the examiner, he had to avoid suspicion. At this time, he could not receive the candidates, and Li Guolou could not go to see the teacher. But Prince Gong Yixin's face could not be refuted.
Guolou was definitely going to be admitted as a Jinshi. This allowed Li Guolou to put away his worries and chatted endlessly with Zhang Jingtian. He was overly excited.
"Then Brother Yu is waiting for you. Hahahaha!" Zhang Jingtian did not dare to show off to Li Guolou, and faced Li Guolou with a people-friendly manner.
Zhang Jingtian openly asked for a bribe, and the two of them chatted happily. They stopped in the corridor and talked and laughed non-stop. They refused to leave at such a late hour, as if they wanted to hold hands and chat until dawn.
It was past eleven o'clock. Zhen Yuhuan walked out of the study and saw Li Guolou and Zhang Jingtian standing in the corridor chatting animatedly. She couldn't help but get angry and scolded: "Hey, what's going on with you two? It's already midnight and you still haven't come back."
Home."
Zhang Jingtian laughed, clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, President Zhen, we were having such a good time chatting that we forgot about you. I'm leaving. Mr. Li, when you pass the imperial examination, Brother Yu will definitely come to congratulate you." After saying this, Zhang Jingtian faced Zhen.
Yuhuan winked, turned and left.
Zhen Yuhuan was puzzled by Zhang Jingtian and asked: "Xiaolou, why did you get the rank of Jinshi?"
Li Guolou pulled Zhen Yuhuan and said as he walked: "Please speak softly. Just now, Prince Gong met me and thought that I was a talent. He asked me to go directly to the scientific examination and join the class this spring. The post was handed over by Zhang Shuban
To Li Hongzao, the examiner, tell me whether I have passed the imperial examination." After saying this, Li Guolou couldn't hold it in any longer and covered his mouth to prevent himself from laughing.
Zhen Yuhuan was overjoyed at first, with a smile on her face, but then she frowned and said: "Xiaolou, you have found a good teacher. That Li Hongzao is from the Qing school, very conservative, and is a mortal enemy of your uncle Li Hongzhang
, the two of them are dedicated to singing the opposite tune. From now on, if you stand in the court and can’t be burned on both ends, you will be made into a half-cooked meal by the two elders.”
Li Guolou remained silent, his original excitement plummeted into an abyss. In this era, students need to listen to their teachers, and promotions to official positions also depend on the teacher's guidance. After a long time of trouble, he found a conservative-minded Qing Dynasty official.
teacher.
This Qing Dynasty faction is the main war faction that he wrote to denounce. They always want to go to war with foreigners. They are very good at writing books and saying it. They are famous scholars all over the world. They think that they can defeat the Western powers with the loyalty and bravery of the Eight Banners disciples. I don’t know.
Soldiers are rhetorical, want to fight with others at all times, and don’t know the importance of maintaining their strength and strategy. Such people are quite qualified as teachers. They can tell the history of the rise and fall of the country, and explain the principles clearly and rationally. A failed war will end
This kind of literati can turn defeat into victory, which is a matter of hindsight.
That is to say, if you are a qualified teacher and an upright gentleman, you can cultivate righteous and patriotic students. But you have conservative ideas and are unwilling to be reformed by the Qing Dynasty. You use old-fashioned eight-legged essays to select scholars and look at people with old eyes.
Li Guolou was still in a daze while sitting on the carriage, thinking that the road ahead was still difficult, and standing in the court would not be smooth sailing. There were so many seniors who had military exploits to boast about and works to pass down to the world. What did he have?
Zhen Yuhuan pushed Li Guolou and said softly: "Mike, don't worry. Prince Gong is also your teacher anyway. Just listen to him. As for Li Hongzao, just show him the utmost respect."
, the due etiquette must be fulfilled. As for his ideological works, just give him a few words, then ask the second grandma to study it again, and ask her to help you write out the central idea, and recite a few paragraphs of the incisive article. Save yourself the trouble.
If you make a joke at the apprenticeship banquet, other Jinshi will laugh at you for the rest of your life."
Li Guolou hugged Zhen Yuhuan and shouted: "It's painful! I still have to suffer this crime. No matter how good Li Hongzao writes, he is not the same as me. Relying on the saints to govern the country is to be in a peaceful and prosperous age. Now we are in troubled times.
Who is more cunning and treacherous? If you say something today, you will regret it tomorrow. How can you really act in accordance with the treaty signed with the foreigners? If you can be a rogue, just ignore it. If you are so powerful that the foreigners can't bear it, they will retreat. Only then will the war begin.
Even if all the vassal states are taken back, we will also ask those white-eyed wolves to cede their territories and pay compensation."
"You're in trouble!" Zhen Yuhuan was extremely dissatisfied with Li Guolou's nephrite in her arms, and was still complaining, using dirty tricks to twist the bulging muscles of Li Guolou's chest.
Li Guolou hurriedly grabbed Zhen Yuhuan's hands to prevent her from using violence. He leaned over and kissed her pouted mouth. He focused on coaxing Zhen Yuhuan beside him. For the sake of his career, he was willing to wait for him until late at night.
This feeling moved him, and he wanted to use practical actions to repay Zhen Yuhuan's devotion to him.
Where are the buttons of Zhen Yuhuan's clothes? Li Guolou unbuttoned them at random, unbuttoned the waistband of his trousers, then threw them away, and reached in with a dishonest hand.
He said: "Anita, I will give you a son now."
Zhen Yuhuan scolded: "You little rascal, I heard Mr. Bao say that Ji Xiaolan was still alive in the sedan chair. You want to come too, but no!" As she spoke, Zhen Yuhuan untied Li Guolou's official robe, loosened his belt, and the two of them
Shaking her body in the luxurious carriage, and trembling slightly in Li Guolou's control, it was really unique. Zhen Yuhuan was afraid of screaming, so she bit Li Guolou's arm, feeling both pain and pleasure.
Of course, Zhen Yuhuan was willing to wait for Li Guolou for more than five hours, and she had no good intentions. This scene had been expected by her. Enjoying the passion, more than an hour passed quickly, and the carriage turned into Dengcao Alley.
After tidying up his appearance a little, Li Guolou took Zhen Yuhuan and walked towards the inner house. At midnight, the door of the inner house had been locked from the inside. Li Guolou slapped the door a few times and shouted a few times. Then someone walked up in small steps and came from inside.
Open.
The maid Bai Lian said happily: "The master is back!"
"Well, are they all asleep?" Li Guolou asked, hoping that his grandma would wait for him, but he knew it was unrealistic. The honeymoon period was long gone, and his grandmas no longer cared about him.
"Oh! It's just me, Xie Liya and Sister Xiangyu. The three of us are playing cards. The others have gone to bed long ago." Bai Lian took the two briefcases and walked towards the living room. The three of them didn't need oil lamps to illuminate them, so they could see in the dark.
Where to turn.
"It's better for young people to stay up late." Zhen Yuhuan breathed, just wanting to sleep. She was really tired from the battle just now.
"Has the water been boiled?" Li Guolou asked.
"It's done. The fire has not been extinguished. I'll go and get ready." Bai Lian knew her role, turned around and crossed the threshold, heading towards the bathroom. Li Guolou pinched Bai Lian's buttocks, hinting at Bai Lian's unfinished tasks during the day.
Continue later.
Bai Lian smiled excitedly, turned around and walked away.
"Look at how excited you are, be careful." Zhen Yuhuan knew that Li Guolou was still excited.
Li Guolou opened his mouth wide and said, "I just want to eat you and don't leave. I still want you."
"Are you able to eat well?"
Xie Liya and Chu Xiangyu also looked at Li Guolou with expectant eyes. They were bored and refused to sleep. They were full of energy and had nowhere to vent.
Li Guolou hugged each other, smiled and said: "You can bear it, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty pampered nine concubines in one night, and he did this nine times in a row. This is the rule in the palace. I will do the same in the future.
We should establish such rules so that you can have fun together."
"Hey, Mike, you will remember this kind of book well, but you know that even the emperors of the Tang Dynasty didn't live long. It's rare for us to be happy like this. We'll cut it in half tonight, and you'll have four concubines to accompany you." Zhen Yuhuan knew.
Li Guolou drank ginseng tea to refresh his mind. In addition, he was about to pass the imperial examination, and he was extremely excited.
"I will announce a great news to you later. Xiao Xiangyu, go and open two bottles of red wine. Let's drink and celebrate tonight." Li Guolou's eyes were bloodshot with excitement, looking at the people around him like a vicious wolf.
, to eat them all alive.
"Hey!" Chu Xiangyu Le Dian went to the kitchen to get red wine. They were addicted to this game and fell deeply into the roles Li Guolou arranged for them.
In the living room, Li Guolou had already picked up his favorite "concubine" Xie Liya and walked to the bathroom.
Watching this scene, Zhen Yuhuan became excited. She drank the wine glass in her hand, drank one glass first, and laughed sweetly: "Today is the happiest day for me, Xiao Xiangyu, let's drink those few things that I sleep with."
Wake up the lazy pig, I want to tell them the great news, all gather in Mike’s room, our family is going to have a Jinshi! Cack, Cock, Cock!”
After a while, bursts of cute laughter came from upstairs in the inner house. How could two bottles of red wine be enough? Shaking your body, you clapped your hands and drank happily.
Xie Xiuzhu said loudly: "On the day when the results are released, as long as Xiaolou is on the list, Xiaolou and Xiaofang will get married."
Chen Xiangfang clapped her hands and said, "It's a night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber when the gold medal is named!" The happiest moment in life is none other than this.
Jelia echoed: "Okay, I'll give Mike an advantage and let Mike marry me and my second wife into the house that day. The three wives married together. It's a story that will last forever."
Xie Xiuzhu nodded gratefully to Yelia. She would not forget the moment when Yelia won glory for her, an unfortunate widow.
Li Guolou didn't think much and said loudly: "Okay! Three wives come together to marry each other. I agree with the story of the ages! Although all three are widows."
"What did you say!" Several women who were widows showed their strength and rushed towards Li Guolou. They immediately pushed Li Guolou onto the big bed and opened their mouths to bite Li Guolou.
