Chapter 28 advanced scholar!

It was another three years of hard study. As the exam day approached, Li Qing was going to take Xiao Zhao to the capital.

Because the exams in Fucheng were relatively close, Li Qing did not bring Xiao Zhao. This time, the distance to the capital was far, nearly three thousand miles, and it was inconvenient to write. Li Qing decided to take Xiao Zhao with him. Zhao go together.

However, Xiao Zhao was reluctant to go.

“Master, go on your own, I’m old now, I’m a burden.” Xiao Zhao said, she is now 65 years old. Although she can still walk, her health has deteriorated, not as good as 73 years old. year-old Li Qing.

“No, it’s so far away, I’m more at ease when you and I are on the road together.” Li Qing said.

Xiao Zhao laughed, looked towards Li Qing: “Master, I am fatigue all the way, I’m afraid I can’t stand this ordeal, I’ll stay at home and wait for you to come back.”

Li Qing also thought about it in his heart. He also saw Xiao Zhao’s current body. If he really went with him, he might not be able to bear it before he reached the capital.

Li Qing said to Xiao Zhao: “Well then, you will wait for me at home. No matter whether I get a good deal in this trip, I will return immediately.”

Xiao Zhao smiled, Nominate.

Li Qing left Heming City and started rushing towards the capital. Along the way, I took the carriage, and then I changed the water ferry. I was tortured. After two months, I arrived in the capital. As for the previous kung fu, Li Qing has never picked it up over the years, and it is the same now.

However, it was peaceful along the way, without any twists and turns.

Like what the book says, what brotherl beauties give silver under the moon, women stay overnight in a small temple to shelter from the rain, students exchange tokens of love with their best friends, scholar meets fox spirits at night to learn scriptures, and so on, Li Qing has never met.

It was the robber, Li Qing had met him once, but after one look at him, the robber walked away, as if he thought that selling Li Qing would not be worth much, and Li Qing was at that time. There are three hundred silver tael coils in his arms.

Li Qing also knows that he is too old.

After all the way to the capital, Li Qing set an Inn to start preparing for the exam.

This exam is different from Li Qing’s past. There are many students gathered in the capital, and the competition is huge. Moreover, if you pass the exam, you will have to meet the emperor later, point out the number one scholar, and choose the top three advanced scholars.

Li Qing has no extravagant desires for herself, as long as she is an advanced scholar, it doesn’t matter which one.

At the beginning of the exam, Li Qing admitted that he was a little overconfident. The exam questions were extremely difficult, and some of them could not be answered. This is not to blame Li Qing, Qinan Road itself is relatively remote in Great Qian, and Heming City is even more so. The books he reads are naturally incomparable with the students in the prosperous areas of the capital. He does not know, and is not wronged .

The exam was over, Li Qing knew that she would not pass, but she still waited with excitement.

As expected, Li Qing missed.

Turn your head,

Go home!

It took three months for Li Qing to return to Heming City, mainly because he bought some books in the capital and hired two porters to bring them back.

Li Qing returned home after half a year, Xiao Zhao was overjoyed. As for Li Qing’s further examination, he is extremely supportive. Anyway, after so many years of examination, it is the same thing if he fails the examination. Besides, there are silver taels at home, so there is no worries.

The 1,000 silver tael that Li Qing brought back to the city back then has not been used up, mainly because he and Xiao Zhao don’t spend much money. And when the City Lord passed away, he also gave some money to Li Qing. For so many years, Li Qing never worried about his livelihood.

Continue reading, Li Qing fights for another three years.

In the past three years, I don’t know how many scholars in Heming City have died, some unfortunately died in their fifties, and Li Qing is already 76, still gaze as if a torch, reading books over and over again, Write it down in your heart.

The three-year period has come, continue to test!

Same as last time, Xiao Zhao stayed at home and Li Qing set off alone. But before leaving, Xiao Zhao put a sealed sachet in Li Qing’s package.

With the previous experience, Li Qing arrived in Beijing in less than two months, and then visited a few gentlemen to learn about the exam situation this year, and then he was confident.

Li Qing feels that this time, he will definitely win!

But when the list was released, Li Qing was helpless to find that he still didn’t have his own name.

Actually, Li Qing didn’t know that this time, he answered no questions in the test paper. He was ranked among the top among many students, but advanced scholar was different from others, and he had to meet the emperor in the end. The examiner will also have a lot of consideration for the candidates’ situation. Li Qing, an old man in his 70s and 80s, may be a little rude to meet the emperor. And Li Qing’s age, even if he is in the middle, he has no official job, so naturally he will be brushed down.

Li Qing didn’t know this and thought it was because he couldn’t study at home, so he planned to continue the exam three years later.

When packing up and going home, Li Qing received a letter written by Xiao Zhao. In the letter, Xiao Zhao told Li Qing that if he was in high school, he would come back. Stay in the capital, prepare with all your heart, and avoid fatigue, don’t worry about yourself.

Li Qing read the letter and felt that Xiao Zhao was right. Three years was not long, so he stayed after the exam.

Three years later, Li Qing took the advanced scholar exam for the third time at the age of 79, but the result still disappointed him and he still failed. No matter how well he answered the exam, the examiner stuck him to death by age alone.

This time, Li Qing is ready to go home.

As a result, a letter came again, still Xiao Zhao, reassuring him of the imperial examination and not worrying about himself. Seeing the letter, Li Qing also had doubts in his heart, but after several decades, advanced scholar has become his obsession, Li Qing decided to listen to Xiao Zhao again and do it again.

Three years later, this time, Li Qing is 82 years old, with all white hair.

Several years of studying in the capital made him known to all the students in the capital. When he arrived at the examination room, he kept saying hello, and Li Qing said hello one after another.

Sitting in her seat, Li Qing decided that this time, no matter what, she will pass the test or not, she will go home after the test, and she will never procrastinate. Li Qing thought about it again, Xiao Zhao is 74 years old, I don’t know how he looks like, whether he is as old as himself. Thinking of this, Li Qing felt even more sad.

With this feeling, Li Qing’s exam was not as good as before, but——

He passed it!

In this exam, it was mainly Head Examiner who also got to know him. At first, he felt that he was quite difficult and deserved to be seen by the emperor. Second, Li Qing answered all the previous exam papers, but if he failed this time, it would be difficult to explain if the exam papers were turned over one day later, so he simply clicked on Li Qing.

So Li Qing was hit.

After the list was released, all advanced scholar lists were announced, and Li Qing was among them. Everyone on this list will be advanced scholars, but after three days, after meeting the emperor, the top three will be assigned.

Standing at the bottom of the list, Li Qing let out a long sigh of relief and felt relieved. There is no regret in this life!
