Li Cheng stood up from his seat, took a few steps in the study, and pondered: "After the beginning of spring, it is the spring that happens once every three years. Do you want to end immediately or wait for another three years?"

"I plan to try this time."

"Alright, don't put too much pressure on me. There is more than one way to choose to be an official in the imperial court. Your body is important, so don't tire yourself out."

The imperial examination system in this world is very close to that of Li Shu's previous world, which is held every three years.The first one is held in the autumn and is held by the local government. It is called the provincial examination, and those who pass the exam are called Juren; the second one is held in the spring of the next year, and the national examination is held in the capital, also known as Chunwei, and those who pass the exam are called Gongshi; the third is the imperial examination. , Held in the same year after the general examination, presided over by the emperor himself, only the current affairs policy was tested, and the top three were selected from the top three, namely the number one scholar, the second place, and Tanhua.

But there are also differences. Most of the current officials in Dazhou are recommended by dignitaries from various aristocratic families, and only a very small number of them are promoted through imperial examinations.For the children of aristocratic families, it is more cost-effective to be recommended by their parents and teachers than to take the imperial examination, so Licheng said this.

The original owner had already passed the provincial examination three years ago, and missed the examination that year due to physical reasons. With the status of Juren, he can directly participate in the examination in the next spring.In the plot given by the system, the original owner ended up this time, successfully passed the general examination, and was hand-picked by the emperor as a Tanhua in the palace examination, which was exactly the same as Li Cheng's experience of participating in the imperial examination.

As the new year is approaching, Xiangfu, as in previous years, went to Anguo Temple to pray under the leadership of Li Cheng.

The morning before, the housekeeper specially came over to tell Li Shu that Li Shu was on the accompanying list this time, and asked him to pack his things and get ready to leave tomorrow.

A few years ago, the original owner was unable to participate in this kind of family activities due to physical troubles. Hearing what the butler said, the maids were very happy, and even Qing He, who was always calm, showed a rare look of excitement.

"Great." After sending the butler away, Qinghe stood on the porch, looked at Li Shu who was studying in the yard, and said silently: Young Master's health has finally improved, and Xiang Ye, who didn't care about Young Master, also started to pay attention again My son, I hope everything gets better and better in the future.

Sensing Qinghe's gaze, Li Shu didn't turn his gaze away, and said lightly: "Qinghe, go and pack your things, you will go with me tomorrow."

"Yes, young master." Qinghe bowed and stepped back.

Qinghe is the person left behind by the original owner's mother, who has received the favor of the original owner's mother, and is loyal to the original owner without any second thoughts.She is a very useful subordinate, smart, cautious, loyal, and obedient. Unfortunately, she followed a master who was focused on opposing the protagonist, and the ending was tragic.

Qinghe went back to the room to pack the things needed for the trip, Xiaotao came over, took her arm, and asked affectionately: "Sister Qinghe, did you say who you will bring to Anguo Temple this time?"

Calmly avoiding Xiao Tao's hand, Qing He kept moving his hand, "Young master has his own opinion on this matter, we slaves have no right to comment, just wait for the order, don't worry about it thoughts." Qing He meant something.

"What did Sister Qinghe say?" The smile on Xiaotao's face froze for a moment, then she adjusted quickly, pretending to be sad and said: "We are both old people who have served the young master together for many years. What's the difference? Or did I do something to offend my sister and make her misunderstand me like this?"

"Xiao Tao," Qinghe put down the movements in his hands, turned and faced the girl in pink clothes, "There are no outsiders here, you don't have to be hypocritical, you know what you have done, maybe you want me to be with you now Make it clear?"

She is not blind, Xiaotao's small actions in private are full of loopholes, how could she not notice it at all, she didn't make it clear because these small actions are harmless, it is not a big mistake, after all, there is a friendship of working together for many years, so let her have a little sympathy That's all.

Fear welled up from the bottom of her heart, she knew? !How much does she know?Did you know that I did it?But I didn't mean to!No, this matter must not be exposed.

No, no, with Qinghe's temperament, if she knew that the matter was related to her, she would definitely not talk to her like now, calm down, don't panic.

Forcibly suppressing the panic in her heart, Xiaotao grabbed Qinghe's arm, "Sister Qinghe, just tell me what I did wrong, and I promise I will change it."

Qing He shook her head, broke away Xiao Tao's hand, did not speak, lowered her head and continued to organize things.

Li Shu passed by the window and happened to see this scene.

1314 complained to the host in his mind: [People like Xiao Tao, commonly known as Bai Lianhua, always like to pretend to be weak, making others think that she is being bullied, but in fact, she did all the bad things, the host doesn’t want it Trust the words of such people. ]

[Am I such a stupid person? ] Li Shu raised his eyebrows slightly, and his tone was playful.

[Not like,] 1314 shrinks his neck and changes the subject, [This Xiaotao, who eats inside and out, is obviously the original owner's maid, but she helps others to harm the original owner, and she is responsible for the original owner's death this time. ]

[It turned out to be her. ] Li Shu knew that someone in the original owner's maid was betrayed, but he had been preparing for Chun Wei these days and didn't have time to take care of it.After thinking about it, he added Xiaotao's name to the accompanying list. Since he was the direct murderer who killed the original owner, he must solve it.However, there are too many eyes in the mansion and it is inconvenient to move. I just go to Xiangguo Temple tomorrow, so I will settle the old and new accounts together.

The next day.

The winter morning was filled with bitter cold air. As soon as he went out, the wind in his face made Li Shu shiver. Qing He hurried forward with his cloak in his arms: "My lord, put it on quickly, and be careful not to catch a cold."

"Hey, don't go out if you're afraid of the cold."

A sneer came from not far away, looking for the reputation, it was not someone else who pronounced it, it was Li Yang whom Li Shu had met the day he transmigrated.

Facing Shang Li Shu's gaze, Li Yang unconsciously recalled the fear that was completely suppressed that day, and he looked away in embarrassment, not daring to speak out at will.

Not long after, Prime Minister Zuo arrived with several other people, said a few words and boarded the carriage.There are three carriages in the Prime Minister's Mansion, one for Li Cheng, Li Shu and Li Yang, one for Mrs. Zuo Xiang, Aunt Zhao and the hostess Li Xinuo, and the last one for luggage.

Li Yang was a little timid about staying in the same carriage with Li Shu, he paused before getting into the carriage, and chose to ride a horse outside.

Seeing this, Li Cheng frowned, put down the sentence "Since you choose to ride a horse, don't make noise to come up halfway", and closed the curtain of the car.

It's winter, Li Yang actually doesn't want to suffer outside, just a gust of cold wind blows, lifts the small curtain on the car window, revealing Li Shu's face half hidden in the shadow.Li Yang shivered, walked to the side silently, got on his horse, he'd better blow the cold wind outside.

The wind stopped, and the small window was covered again, along with Li Shu's slightly raised mouth.Asking Li Yang to blow more cold wind outside can be regarded as a sigh of relief for the original owner who has been bullied by him for many years.

It was half a day's journey from Zuoxiang Mansion to Anguo Temple, and the cold wind was blowing all the way down, Li Yang was completely blinded.Aunt Zhao covered him with Mrs. Tang distressedly. Looking at his face that had been blown pale, she felt distressed and angry, and reprimanded in a bad voice: "It's so windy outside, why are you acting so brave at this time? An Sheng stays here Can you lose a piece of meat in the carriage? Can you see how frozen you are now?"

Li Yang has nothing to say to his mother's greetings, he can't say that he is afraid of Li Shu if he doesn't take the carriage, it's shameful.

After all, it was the child who was raised in the palm of his hand, and his heartache occupied the upper part, "I have someone prepare ginger soup for you, drink more later, to drive away the cold."

Witnessing Li Yang's tragedy with his own eyes, 1314 felt lingering fear. Didn't the host really do it on purpose?Because he was ridiculed for being afraid of the cold, he made people freeze in the cold wind for a day. He had to think about whether he had offended the host in any way.

There shouldn't be... bah.

Zuo Xiang's family would come to Anguo Temple every year to pray for blessings. They were distinguished guests in the temple, and there was a special wing for them to live in. The familiar master led them to the regular room.It was Li Shu's first visit, and Master Wuxiang pointed out a clever little monk to take him down to rest.

The place where Li Shu lives is far away from the people in the prime minister's house. The little monk explained, "Near the New Year's Eve, there are many benefactors who come to the temple to pray for blessings. The wing room is a little nervous, and the residence is a bit out of the way. I hope the benefactors will take care of them."

[nothing. ]

Anguo Temple is the national temple of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is said that the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had received the favor of the abbot of the Anguo Temple. A prosperous temple.

Even in winter, Anguo Temple still has a pleasant scenery. Covered by heavy snow, winter plums are in full bloom, and the blooming red and white snow set off each other, which is a special taste.

Back in the warm room, he took a sip of the hot ginger soup in his hand, and Li Shu suddenly felt that he was alive. This body was more chilly than he imagined. Since he started to practice, he hadn't had it for a long time. Go through this bone-piercing chill too.

[System, is the hero in the temple now? ]

Anguo Temple is the starting point of the plot and the place where the male and female protagonists meet for the first time.The enthusiastic and kind heroine came to the temple to pray for blessings with her parents, and met the male protagonist who was betrayed by his subordinates and seriously injured.Unable to bear the cold of the hero in the heavy snow, the heroine took the hero to an unoccupied wing, and secretly found a doctor to treat the hero's injury.

Calculated according to the plot time, this evening is the time when the heroine meets the hero.

It was too cold outside, Li Shu was too lazy to go out, and stayed in the wing room to read.The original owner had a lot of notes and documents, which were given to him by an old friend of Dr. Lin when he went with Dr. Lin to other places for training. That person appreciated the original owner's talent and accepted him as a registered student.That period of time was the happiest and most relaxing time in the original owner's life, and it was also during that time that the original owner took part in the provincial examination.

As the sky was getting dark, Li Shu was fascinated by reading, when he suddenly heard regular knocks on the door.

[It's the heroine. ] 1314 sounded a reminder.

[Shouldn't the heroine be with the hero right now? Why did you come to me? ] Having said that, Li Shu still put down his book and got up to open the door.

Li Xinuo's hair was disheveled, her skirt was soaked in snow, and her anxiety was evident on her face, "Brother, I saw a man in the woods who was injured, and the injury was serious, so I can bring him to you to recuperate the wound." ?"
