Chapter 3 Hospital Examination

Lijia Village is located surrounded by mountains, just one of the most remote villages in Lefeng Township. Lefeng Township is under the jurisdiction of Oujian County, and there is also Min County on top of Oujian County. It can be said that the country where Li Hua is now is similar to that of ancient China on the earth in his previous life. The selection of talents is the imperial examination system, and the division of administration is the county system.

"Ah...slow down...Li Hua...brother! ...Ah..." Li Hua pulled Li Xiuer all the way down the mountain along the rugged mountain road, which scared Li Xiuer to scream all the way.

Li Hua didn't care how Li Xiuer pleaded for mercy, continued to pull her and ran wildly, and said with a bad smile, "Didn't you tell me to hurry up? I'm late, but I'm going to spank my father. Seeing Li Xiuer shouting, Li Hua finally understood why those bad guys in his previous life liked to drive with girls. It's really speed and **. Hearing Li Xiuer's screaming sound, Li Hua's heart was filled with an indescribable satisfaction.

However, God always likes to tease those self-righteous people. Things are often extremely happy and sad. When Li Hua took Li Xiuer's tender hand and listened to Li Xiuer's screaming triumphantly, he was accidentally tripped over by a raised stone on this rugged mountain road.

"Put! pu pu pu..." Li Hua didn't expect that he could fall a dog and eat shit on this mountain road where he could run down the mountain with his eyes closed. Fortunately, she let go of Li Xiuer's hand before she fell down, otherwise she would lose a lot if she broke her future woman like a flower.

"Ha...ha..." Li Xiuer just screamed because of Li Hua's mischievous running. In an instant, the proud boy had just fallen into the mud. I couldn't help but be stunned. After that, I covered my mouth and laughed straight.

"Ouch!" Li Hua had no face when he fell like this. Now he still hears Li Xiuer's laughter and plans to tease Li Xiuer again. So he turned over and lay in the grass, facing Li Xiuer, who was covering her mouth and smiling, pretending to moan in pain, "Ouch... My leg can't move. It's over, it must be broken!"

As soon as Li Hua said this, Li Xiuer couldn't laugh immediately. She hurried over, picked up Li Hua's leg, gently rubbed it, and asked anxiously, "How's it going?" Brother Li Hua, how's it going? Is it better?"

Looking at Li Xiuer with an anxious face and enjoying Xiuer's unskilled massage, Li Hua suddenly felt that he was really happy in his life. In his last life, Li Hua even became a problem to survive, and he didn't know what love was. When he was studying, Li Hua, a beautiful girl at work, dared not look up. He knew that he was an orphan and didn't deserve it.

And now? Looking at Li Xiuer with tears in her eyes because of anxiety, Li Hua has no doubt that he has fallen in love with this 12-year-old "Sister Xiuer".

"Sister Xiu'er!" Li Xiuer was almost scared to cry. Li Hua was a little embarrassed. He took the initiative to stand up with his hand, jumped under Xiuer's surprised eyes and shouted, "Wow, Sister Xiuer's craftsmanship is really good. After rubbing it twice, her broken leg will be fine."

At this time, why didn't Li Xiuer know that Li Hua was teasing her? Listening to Li Hua's flattering words, he chased Li Hua with a smile and was about to beat him, and he shouted shyly, "Ky your bad brother!"

"Hey, I can't hit it, I can't hit it!" Li Hua was also happy. While avoiding Li Xiuer's pursuit, he continued to run down the mountain.

This time, Li Hua was much more cautious and did not fall down again. Along the way, he went down the mountain with Li Xiuer.

"The son said: 'A gentleman has no food for food, no peace, a man is sensitive to things and cautious in words, and there is a way and righteousness, which can be said to be easy to learn.' ......”

The sound of Langlang's books comes slowly from the simple school. Although most of them are uneven and the sound is tender, as long as the sound of the book comes to the ears, there is always a refreshing effect. Perhaps this is the charm of the way of sages. Even if it comes from the mouths of these children, it also brings a trace of saint's enlightenment.

This dilapidated primary school is the only school in Lijia Village and the place where Li Hua's cheap father Li Bai eats. Everything is low, but only good reading is high." Reading to get a career is regarded by ordinary people as the only way to get rid of their own destiny. Therefore, although there are only more than 100 people in Lijia Village, as long as the family is not really unbearable, they will send boys to school to learn poetry and etiquette, and the saints will be taught. What I'm looking forward to is that one day my child can be named in the gold list and glory.

It is precisely because of this that Mr. Li Bai, a teacher, barely relies on the tuition fees of more than 30 children to support his family. Li Bai is the most learned person in the village and the only scholar in the village. Although he failed many times in the township examination, he is also quite prestigious in the village.

"Hight! ...Don't run..."

"I'm not stupid! Can't I stand still and call you..."

Li Hua and Li Xiuer went down the mountain so loudly. Li Hua heard the sound of the book from the school from afar and said to himself, "It's not good. It seems that the cheap father arrived at the school first, which is terrible.

"It's over, brother Li Hua, it seems that your father has arrived at the school." Li Xiuer obviously heard the loud book from the school and knew that Li Bai had returned to the school and was teaching those children to read the Analects of Confucius. Because he was bullied by Li Hua just now, he smiled at Li Hua with gloatingly, "It seems that you can't avoid this fat beat!"

"Humph..." Li Hua glanced at Li Xiuer and thought to himself, what's the big deal.

"Hee hee!" Li Xiuer saw Li Hua's helpless expression, and her anger just now subsided. She blinked her big eyes and said with deep sympathy, "Pay attention to protect your buttocks. I'll go back to help my aunt wash clothes. When I come back, I'll rub it for you and put medicinal wine on it!"

After saying that, Li Xiuer jumped home and went home, leaving Li Hua alone at the gate of the school for a long time.

Li Hua is not really afraid of Li Bai, but at least in this family, he is only a nine-year-old child on the surface. Although Li Bai has given great hopes for his intelligence since he was a child, Li Hua, who always likes to be lazy, often tastes Li Bai's specialty "fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots". Although Li Bai, a scholar who is a svenant, picked up the bamboo whip and started his hand, his fierceness is not weaker than the veteran on the battlefield.

It doesn't matter, Li Hua is not entangled in his heart. Anyway, he died and risked it.

Touching his buttocks with one hand and pushing the bamboo-woven door of the school hall with the other hand, Li Hua broke in while a student was reciting the Analects of Confucius. The sound of Langlang's book stopped abruptly, and all eyes turned to the door and stared at Li Hua.

"...Dad..." Li Hua shouted pitifully with aggrieved spirit.

"Call me sir!" It's strange that Li Bai didn't get very angry today. He just glanced at Li Hua at the door and said lightly, "Go back to your position!"

"Yes, sir!" Seeing this situation, Li Hua knew that there must be something important about this cheap father today. Unexpectedly, he didn't get angry with himself and rubbed his buttocks. It seemed that he had escaped the disaster. Anyway, saving this meal of "fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots", Li Huaxing rushed back to his seat.

Li Hua just sat down, and Li Bai, dressed in a green shirt, put down the Analects in his hand and glanced at the children. When he inadvertently looked at Li Hua, there was a trace of hope in his eyes.

These children in the hall are from five or six years old to fifteen or sixteen years old. There is no hierarchical teaching here. There is no first-year and second grade. They teach Confucian classics and recite Confucius and Mencius doctrines. Those boys in the village, regardless of their age, are all studying sages in this school.

"Sir, I am a 14-year-old scholar. I began to teach the way of Confucius and Mencius in this school at the age of 17. Some of you have been educated under the doctrine of sages for ten years, and some have been knowledgeable for less than a year..." Li Bai began to talk. When Li Hua was a little impatient, Li Bai suddenly turned around and said, "In a few days, it will be time for the 'hospital examination' in the countryside. You are all children with academic records, and you are all qualified to be a scholar. Today, everyone went back to discuss with your parents. If you want to go to the village for the 'hospital test', you can prepare early and leave tomorrow..."

Before Li Bai's words fell, more than 30 children below had already made trouble. Hard-working cold window study, in order to be the title of the golden list, is there some good way out? And if you want to really get ahead, you must at least pass the exam. Like Li Bai, a poor scholar can only be a teacher and make a living.

Here, the imperial examination is divided into four levels, from the bottom to the top are the college examination, the township examination, the conference examination and the palace examination. Before taking any exams, all schoolchildren recorded in the official education department are called children. Tongsheng has no reputation, but is qualified to take the biennial college examination to get a scholar. Scholars are really famous scholars. You can see that officials of the sixth grade and below do not have to kneel down, but they have no salary and no qualification to be an official. It can only be regarded as a special treatment given to scholars by the state.

Only when you become a scholar can you be qualified to participate in the three-year township examination. After passing the township examination, you will be called a person. Juren can be said to be the watershed of scholars in the true sense, because he is qualified to be an official because of his reputation. You can be recommended by an in-service official or donate money to a county magistrate or something.

As for the examination, it is a imperial examination in the usual sense. Once every five years, it is the way for the country to select top talents from among the candidates. The one who won is called a tribute, and at the same time has the opportunity to enter the hall to accept the selection examination of today's saints, which is to take the "temple examination". The first place is the "top champion", which is called "Top Eye" and "Exploring Flowers", and the others are called "jinshi".

Who doesn't have a dream of becoming a top scholar? And the most basic thing is to start with the college examination to obtain the talent qualification. Therefore, when Li Bai announced that the hospital examination would begin, it would be so lively.

Li Hua began to read four books and five classics from Li Bai's father in this school since he was three years old, and Kong Mengru studied. Although the literacy in this world is not simplified Chinese characters, but traditional Chinese characters, it does not affect Li Hua's talent at all. When Li Hua was six years old, that is, when he took the last college examination, he actually had the ability to become a scholar. However, Li Bai did not allow Li Hua, who was only six years old, to take the hospital examination.

Poor Li Hua can only continue to study hard in this broken school window. Li Hua is nine years old in this college examination. Although for ordinary people, it is only possible to participate in the college examination on the basis of ten years of hard study in a cold window, Li Hua has a memory of his previous life. Besides, there is no age limit for this hospital test, as long as the children are in the case.

Therefore, as soon as Li Hua heard the news and looked at Li Bai's father's continuous "electricity" eyes on him, he instantly understood that his opportunity to prosper came.
