Li Guolou was so excited that he turned over and bowed. He said, "Thank you very much, teacher, for your cultivation. The students will definitely have a good time repeating their studies. I will try to get a good rank in the exam. Come and give a gift 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, who devoted himself to death and then died to repay the favor. Prince Gong promoted him out of the ordinary. He never thought that with such a thick leg, his prosperous days were imminent.
There was only one person in the Qing Dynasty who was treated like him. He 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. No Thinking of going the wrong way, the servant bumped into the sedan chair of the 9,000-year-old Wei Zhongxian in the middle of the night. The servant was caught. He survived in danger and risked death. He lied and said that he was a scholar who came to Beijing to take the exam. He also 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. But his master later became a Jinshi. As his followers, 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". The legend of the protagonist "Zhang Haogu" has been passed down to this day.
Li Guolou left Qiuju Hall. Secretary Zhang Jingtian asked: "Mr. Li, is the Imperial Master Li Hongzao a relative of yours?"
Li Guolou shook his head and said: "It's nothing like that. 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 of this scientific examination. This was an important sign of Emperor Tongzhi's pro-government. The emperor's disciples would benefit the world. After Aixinjueluo and Zaichun came to power, they would use their own disciples to promote the new generation of Jinshi. He is about to show his talents 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 at least the second-class Jinshi.
Zhang Jingtian sighed: "Mr. Li's rise to greatness is just around the corner. Don't forget 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 Guibang Hutong. There are two elm trees at the door. It's easy to find."
"Oh, there. I've been there. It's a great place. It's very close to Mr. Zhang's work. Just turn a few corners and you'll be home." Although Li Guolou is not from the capital, he has long been on the map of the capital. He gave the name of an alley. .He just knows where it is.
Li Hongzao's official title is "Du Cha Yuan Zuo Du Yu Shi", who is a first-class official. As the examiner, he must avoid suspicion. At this time, he cannot receive candidates. Li Guolou cannot also go to see the teacher. But Prince Gong Yixin's face cannot be refuted. Li Hongzao Guolou was definitely going to be admitted as a Jinshi. This allowed Li Guolou to relieve his worries. He talked endlessly with Zhang Jingtian. He was too excited.
"Then Brother Yu is waiting for you. Hahahaha." Zhang Jingtian did not dare to show off to Li Guolou. He faced Li Guolou with a people-friendly manner.
Zhang Jingtian asked for bribes openly. He said that the two of them were having a good conversation. They stopped in the corridor and kept laughing. They refused to leave at this late hour. It seemed that 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 haven't come back yet. Home."
Zhang Jingtian laughed loudly, clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, President Zhen. We had such a good time chatting that I forgot about you. I'm leaving. Mr. Li, when he is admitted as a Jinshi, 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 title of Jinshi?"
Li Guolou pulled Zhen Yuhuan and said as he walked: "Please speak softly. Prince Gong just met me. He thought that I was a talent. He asked me to go directly to the scientific examination and join the class this spring. Posted by Zhang Shuban To Li Hongzao, the examiner, please tell me whether I have passed the imperial examination." After saying this, Li Guolou couldn't hold it in any longer. He covered his mouth to prevent himself from laughing.
Zhen Yuhuan was overjoyed at first. The smile on her face turned into a flower. Then she frowned and said: "Xiaolou, you are a good teacher. Li Hongzao is from the Qing Dynasty school. He is very conservative. He 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, you will not be able to get burned at both ends. You will be made into a meal by the two elders."
Li Guolou was silent. His original excitement fell into an abyss. In this era, students need to listen to their teachers. Official promotions also rely on the teacher's guidance. After a long time of trouble, he was replaced by a conservative-minded Qing Dynasty official. teacher.
This Qing Dynasty faction is the main war faction that he scolded in letters. They always want to go to war with foreigners. They are very good at writing books and explaining things. 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 arrogant and talkative. They want to fight to the death at every turn. They don’t know the importance of maintaining their strength and strategy. Such people are quite qualified to be teachers. They can tell the history of the rise and fall of the country. They can explain the truth clearly and clearly. A failed war is over. This kind of literati can turn defeat into victory. It is a matter of hindsight.
That is to say, he is qualified as a teacher and an upright gentleman. He can cultivate righteous and patriotic students. But he has old-fashioned ideas and is unwilling to be reformed by the Qing Dynasty. He uses old-fashioned eight-part essays to select scholars and sees people with old eyes.
Li Guolou was still in a daze while sitting on the carriage. He thought that the road ahead was still difficult. Standing in the court was not smooth sailing either. 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." . You must perform all the due etiquette. As for his ideological works, you can give him a few words. Then ask the second grandma to study it again. Ask her to help you write out the central idea. Recite a few paragraphs of incisive articles. Save yourself the trouble. Make a joke at the apprenticeship banquet and let other Jinshis 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 in the same tune as me. Relying on the saints to govern the country must be in peaceful times. 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 play rogue, let it go. If you are so powerful that the foreigners can't stand it, you should retreat when the difficulties are hard. Only then will the war begin. Take back all the vassal states. We also want those white-eyed wolves to cede territory and pay compensation."
"You're so sorry." Zhen Yuhuan was extremely dissatisfied with Li Guolou's nephrite in her arms. She was still complaining and used 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. 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 easily. The buttons on the waistband of his trousers were unbuttoned. He then threw them away. A dishonest hand reached in.
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. No." As she spoke, Zhen Yuhuan untied Li Guolou's official robe and loosened his belt. The two of them Shaking her body in the luxurious carriage, her slightly trembling breasts were under the control of Li Guolou. It was really unique. Zhen Yuhuan was afraid of screaming, so she bit Li Guolou's arm. It hurt and pleased her at the same time.
Of course, Zhen Yuhuan was willing to wait for Li Guolou for more than five hours. She had no good intentions in the first place. This scene had long been expected by her. She was enjoying the passion. More than an hour passed quickly. 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. From inside Open.
The maid Bai Lian said happily: "The master is back."
"Hmm. Are they all asleep?" Li Guolou asked. He was 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 for lighting. They knew it even in the dark. Where to turn.
"It's better for young people to stay up late." Zhen Yuhuan breathed. She just wanted to sleep. She was really tired from the battle just now.
"Is the water ready?" Li Guolou asked.
"It's done. The fire has not been extinguished. I'll go and get ready." Bai Lian knew her role. She turned around and crossed the threshold and walked towards the bathroom. Li Guolou pinched Bai Lian's buttocks, hinting at the tasks Bai Lian had not completed during the day. Continue later.
Bai Lian smiled excitedly. She 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. 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. He smiled and said: "It's okay. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty pampered nine concubines in one night. Nine times a month. He always did this. This is the rule in the palace. I will do the same in the future. 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. It will be halved tonight. You will 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. He looked at the people around him like a vicious wolf. .Want to eat them all alive.
"Hey." Chu Xiangyu Le Dian went to the kitchen to get red wine. They were addicted to this game. They were deeply trapped in 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.
Zhen Yuhuan looked at this scene and became excited. She drank the wine glass in one gulp and drank a glass first. She laughed softly and said: "Today is the happiest day for me. Xiao Xiangyu. I drank the few that I was sleeping on." A lazy pig woke me up. I want to tell them the great news. Let’s all gather in Mike’s room. We are going to have a Jinshi in our family. Cack, cluck.”
After a while, bursts of cute laughter came from upstairs in the inner house. Two bottles of red wine were not enough. They shook their bodies and clapped their hands while drinking happily.
Xie Xiuzhu said loudly: "On the day when the results are released, as long as Xiaolou is on the list, let Xiaolou and Xiaofang get married."
Chen Xiangfang clapped her hands and said, "When the gold medal was named, it was the wedding night." The happiest moment in life is nothing more than this.
Yelia echoed: "Okay. I'll give Mike an advantage. Let Mike marry me and my second wife into the house that day. The three wives will marry together. It's a story that will last forever."
Xie Xiuzhu nodded gratefully to Yelia. She would never forget the moment when Yelia won glory for her, an unfortunate widow.
Li Guolou didn't even think much about it. He said loudly: "Okay. The three wives are married together. I accept 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.
