Chapter 491 The pressure of beans
"What's the good thing?" Li Zhang asked with a curious look when he saw Li'er's mysterious appearance.
"I have my own mansion." Li'er smiled proudly at this time.
"Where is the mansion?" Li Zhang asked in surprise when he heard this, and Aoori and Xiuxiu next to him also showed a curious look.
"It's right next to our house!" Li'er replied with a smile.
"Next?" Li Zhang and the other two looked at each other when they heard this. After a while, Xiuxiu asked, "But there is only the Huyan family next to us, and there is no other family?"
"From the future, it will not be the Huyan family, but my mansion!" Li'er announced happily at this time. She only received the notice from the palace this morning, and this request was made specifically to her mother before, but it really came true.
"The Huyan family has become your mansion, where will their family go?" Li Zhang couldn't help but open his eyes and asked when he heard this.
"Don't worry, brother, my mother used a mansion several times larger than the Huyan family and had a good location to exchange with them. The Huyan family happily agreed to move." Li'er said proudly at the moment.
In fact, at the beginning, Empress Dowager Li discussed and rewarded Li'er with Zhao Zhen. After all, Miaoyuan had his own mansion, and Li'er must have it, so he quickly chose a mansion with a huge area. However, Li'er didn't like it and asked that he had to be next to Li Zhang's house. In the end, Zhao Zhen could only call the people from the Huyan family to discuss. Although the Huyan family was a little reluctant to leave the old house, he saw that the new mansion was big and gorgeous, much better than his family. They made several times more profits on the land price alone, so naturally agreed.
When Li Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but slam his forehead. The Huyan family's old house turned into Li'er's mansion, and opposite was Miaoyuan's mansion. Although these two girls are already sisters, they still have different personalities and live so close that there may be endless lawsuits in the future.
"That's great. Li'er, you live next door. Even if you get married in the future, you can come and go often. I'm not afraid that no one will talk!" Qingzhi said happily at this time. Xiuxiu was about to get married, and there was one less person in the family who could talk. Although Li Zhang went home every day, she was still the only one during the day, so sometimes she felt lonely.
"I won't get married, so I'll follow you brother and sister-in-law in the future!" Li'er said shyly when she heard Qingzhi's words, but when she said this, her eyes were a little slight, obviously a little guilty, which made Li Zhang sigh to himself that his sister has really grown up, and it's indeed time to prepare to get married.
After eating hot pot, Li Zhang stepped into a yard in the corner of the front yard. This yard was very quiet and it was Douzi's residence. He didn't live here at first, but later, in order to avoid disturbing his studies, he moved to this quiet yard. Usually, three meals a day are delivered by servants.
When Li Zhang stepped into the yard, he immediately heard a loud sound of reading from inside. There was a large study room in the yard. Li Zhang walked to the door and knocked on the door. The sound of reading inside stopped immediately. Then the door opened, before Li Zhang could enter, he did not expect that a tray was sent inside with the dishes and chopsticks placed on it.
"Uh? Brother, why are you here?" Douzi was stunned when he saw Li Zhang outside the door, and then hurriedly took the tray back. He thought it was the servant who delivered the food to collect the dishes, but he didn't expect that it was Li Zhang who came.
"I heard that you have been staying behind closed doors during this period. I'll see how you are studying and how sure you will be in the imperial examination next year?" Li Zhang also entered the room at this time, and Douzi hurriedly asked him to sit down and pour tea.
"No one can say that the imperial examination is like this. Apart from the accumulation of daily life, the most important thing is to look at the performance on the spot, so I can't say how confident I am, I can only do my best." Douzi smiled helplessly at this time.
The imperial examination is like the college entrance examination in later generations. One test determines life and death. No matter how good you study in normal times, if you do not perform well during the exam, all your previous efforts will be in vain, and the admission rate of the imperial examination is much lower than that of the college entrance examination.
As a person who has experienced the college entrance examination in the future, Li Zhang can also understand Douzi's current pressure. Next year's imperial examination is not only related to Douzi's future, but also to his marriage with Li'er. Thinking of this, Li Zhang also regretted it. He had known that he should have let Douzi get engaged early, so that he would not have made Douzi so embarrassed now.
"Brother, you can't always have a smooth life. As the saying goes, life is unsatisfactory, not to mention that you don't know Li'er's background, so you don't have to think too much, and I believe I am definitely not worse than anyone else!" Douzi, as Li Zhang's brother, naturally saw what he was thinking, but now he comforted him.
Li Zhang sighed again when he heard this, but then he adjusted his emotions and said, "Actually, I asked someone to find your paper last year, and I also asked the examiner last year. The other party said that your article was actually well written. The disadvantage is that you made several mistakes in the use of allusions. The main reason is that the foundation was not solid, which is normal. After all, you became a monk halfway through the journey, and most scholars have been studying since childhood. It is normal that the foundation is not as good as others. However, you have worked hard this year and the foundation should have been made up. As long as you can achieve your level of last year, there should be no big problem in passing the exam."
What Li Zhang said is true. People are good at being in the officialdom, but it is definitely not enough to help beans cheat, because the imperial examination is related to the imperial examination. If it is really related to the fraud in the imperial examination, let alone Li Zhang, even the prime minister cannot bear this responsibility.
When Douzi heard Li Zhang's words, he obviously relaxed. The imperial examination was not like the college entrance examination in later generations, and there was no accurate ranking. Especially those who failed the exam did not even know where the problem was in their articles, and could only rely on themselves to guess. The news that Li Zhang had inquired now was very important to Douzi, at least he knew what the focus of his next study was.
"Thank you, brother, I will definitely not let everyone down next year!" Douzi quickly assured with a firm expression that this sentence was not only said to Li Zhang, but also to himself.
"I believe you, but don't put too much pressure on yourself. You have to go out for a walk if you have time. Staying in the room and studying hard is not a solution. In addition, I know a few friends, such as Han Qi, who you also know, was the second place in the past. If it weren't for being too young, the top scorer in those days would be his. These days I will make an appointment with him to take you to his place and let him teach you some experience." Li Zhang stood up and patted Douzi on the shoulder.
