The crackling sound of firecrackers suddenly rang out on the street, and the green shade of Chang'an City was shivering under the scorching sun in May.

"So what's wrong?"

"What happened?"

"Is it Mr. Qingxia's case solved?"

"Has the murderer pleaded guilty?"

The people on the street asked in surprise and mentioned Mr. Qingxia, and tears came out of tears with shallow eyes. It had been a few days since I learned that Mr. Qingxia had passed away, but I couldn't help but feel sad when I thought about it.

It was too sudden, why did it die or was killed? It was so miserable and so annoying.

The Lin clan members have already gone to Beijing. At that time, countless people were seeing off from Chang'an Prefecture. Now the criminals are killed. Are you going to take revenge?

"No, it's the Guo family that sets offerings in the Chenghuang Temple."

The news came soon, and the people on the street also saw a group of servants passing by with firecrackers and offerings. The men in the Guo family were headed, and they all looked excited.

"What offerings are placed at this time?" Some people were puzzled.

"Today, the exam will start. The Guo family's son-in-law, Xue Qing, is going to be the top scorer in the exam." Someone reminded.

The people suddenly realized that because of Mr. Qingxia's accident, they all forgot about this.

The sound of firecrackers on the street was not stopped, and gongs and drums sounded on the other side of the city, and many people ran towards the direction of the gongs and drums.

"Go and see, the Liu family is setting up a stage to sing a big show."

"Their family also has references."

"It's not for their kid, it's for Xue Qing."

"Then are they congratulating Xue Qing to win the top scorer or not?"

Because Xue Qing claimed that he would be the top scorer and marry Miss Guo again, the Liu family made a contract with Xue Qing and said that he would not be the top scorer and marry Miss Liu.

"I am going through the exam and congratulations to Xue Qing. If I am getting the exam, I am going through the exam and I am going through the exam and congratulations to my son-in-law. If I am getting the exam, I will not delay it."

"Go and see, I'm invited Ding Xiaochui from Taiyuan Prefecture, who can turn 108 o'clock."

For a moment, the adults and children rushed to the front of the Liu family. There was no one here at the Chenghuang Temple. No matter how rich the tributes of the Guo family were, they were for the gods to enjoy. They might as well go to watch the big show.

This made Guo Baoer even more angry.

"Dad, I just said it was a show. How could the Liu family kindly wish him the first place to be admitted? It must be a prayer that he would not be admitted."

"It's so annoying. A spring dawn is not enough, and the Liu family is also annoying."

As the news of Mr. Qingxia's death came naturally, there were reactions from the people in the capital, especially the candidates in Chang'an Prefecture, so everyone knew about Xue Qing drinking and chanting poems with Chunxiao in the brothel.

It’s better for others. Guo Baoer was going to take a bus to Beijing at that time. Master Guo scolded you if you want him to fail to get the top scorer in the exam and marry Liu Wuer. You will be unable to calm down?

"I just said that I was asked to follow me to go to the capital at that time, but you didn't listen."

Master Guo turned around and scolded Guo Baoer: "Go back." He said, "Pray to the City God, otherwise you will not be able to stay in Chang'an City."

If Xue Qing fails to pass the exam and really marry Liu Wuer, then Guo Baoer will lose all her face in her life and there is nowhere to stay in Chang'an City. Guo Baoer stomps her feet and walks to Guo Ziqian no longer noisy.

"Baoer, don't worry, Brother Qingzi will definitely win the No. 1 prize." Guo Ziqian handed the cushion to her and said.

Guo Baoer snorted: "He's better pass the exam. If he doesn't pass the exam, don't come back."

Mrs. Guo reminded him not to speak. The two of them calmed down, drums and music started, and the temple prayed in front of the temple. Guo Huaichun looked at the curling blue smoke, his expression covered with a layer of solemnity, and his eyes were a little dazed. Mr. Qingxia was actually dead, which was really caught off guard and shocking.

Things must have reached an urgent and dangerous level, so dangerous that Mr. Qingxia jumped off the building and was bound to be exposed.

Mr. Qingxia's identity was exposed, what about the others? Since Mr. Qingxia left and Ge Chuan and others left, his news was cut off. I don't know what happened. I only learned a lot of things by Guo Ziqian receiving letters from his friends from the capital.

Guo Huaichun looked back and saw that Mr. Guo Er and Mr. Guo San were half-squinting their eyes and it was obvious that they were wandering around in the sky. I don’t know if they were thinking about the good wine last night or the fun after today. Then, the young and young girls from the Guo family knelt down and spoke quietly. On the other hand, the women in the Guo family looked dignified and pious and prayed for things related to them... Once something happened, they would not be finished in their entirety.

Guo Huaichun retracted his gaze and looked at the statue of the City God who was high above. The incense lingered incense seemed to be true and illusion. Do you want the blessing of the gods and Buddhas? Since it was his own choice, then there was no fear or regret. Guo Huaichun straightened his back.

.....

.....

The sound of firecrackers on the street dissipated, and the gongs and drums were still coming faintly. You could hear the noise even when standing in the prefect's office.

"There was the noise of sadness and disappointment before, but now it was the noise of joy and expectation, life." The servant stood under the corridor and looked at the sky on the corner of the house and sighed.

The maid who watered the flowers said, "It's a bit like an old man who died and a young child was born. Xue Qing happened to be a disciple of Mr. Qingxia. His husband died injustice and his disciple passed the imperial examination for three years. This is also considered a heritage, and Mr. Xu will be relieved if he knows him."

The servant sighed and said, "I didn't expect to see Mr. Qingxia again. If I had known that even if the adults were angry, I would have to bring him a cup of tea."

The maid wanted to laugh but was a little sad. She straightened her body, looked at the door opposite the room, and whispered: "Sir, I also look sad."

.....

.....

Are you sad? Of course, it is sad. It is sad for a treacherous party to succeed and a gentleman to be punished. It is also his companion.

Li Guangyuan stood by the window, listening to the noise outside, his eyes were a little sad. Who would have thought that this farewell would be a farewell forever?

"I thought there was something wrong with Mr. Qingxia being left in the capital." The old servant whispered, "It turned out that he was targeted at that time."

"It's not just him." Li Guangyuan said, "After the incident, the Black Armor Guard immediately searched Mr. Qingxia's students." He turned around and looked at the old servant, "What does this mean?"

It means that they have touched the place of Emperor Ji, and this is just a short time since entering Beijing...

"It's indeed the most dangerous place." The old servant murmured in a low voice, looking at Li Guangyuan with a little uneasy expression, "Sir, you're in danger, too."

After Mr. Qingxia's accident, for safety, their contact with the capital was cut off, so I don't know how it is now.

"Why avoid it?" the old servant whispered.

Li Guangyuan smiled and said, "Avoid? What are I afraid of a gentleman walking the great way? Why should I avoid it? They dare to force Mr. Qingxia to jump down from Wangxing Tower, and I dare to jump down from Liudaoquan Mountain." He stroked his sleeves and looked at the official uniform, "They will die without regrets."

The old servant responded and saw Li Guangyuan walking to the table and sitting down, holding up his pen to write. The booklet was already densely packed. The old servant knew that this was a memorial for the court about Mr. Qingxia, introduced Mr. Qingxia's high righteousness, expressed his pain, and called on the court to severely punish the murderer. He did not avoid this incident at all.

The old servant brushed his sleeves and grinded the ink and said, "At this time, Young Master Qingzi has already started the exam. I hope everything goes well."

.....

.....

"The metropolitan test is the fourth day of the day. The metropolitan test will be seven questions. At Xue Qing's speed, you should have answered two of them now."

In the straw shed at the foot of Liudaoquan Mountain, Leting cleaned the bookshelf with a feather duster.

There was no change in the Zhizhi Hall in summer than before. There were only two bookshelfs, which were filled with books. Except for what Xue Qing left to Leting, Zhang Liantang bought a lot after taking over Zhizhi Hall.

Leting doesn’t spend much time studying every day, but it cleanses and organizes every time, so the interior is clean and tidy.

Guo Ziqian sat on the mat and said with a relaxed look on his face: "Of course, Brother Qingzi is very powerful."

Leting sat down and did not read books like before, and said, "Huiyuan, it's not easy to take the exam."

"No matter whether it is easy to take the exam or not, Brother Qingzi has done so many difficult things, so there is no problem this time." Guo Ziqian said.

Le Ting saw him laughing, nodded and said, "Yes, since he said it, he can do it, and wait for his good news."

Guo Ziqian said, "Don't worry about Brother Qingzi, it's you, Leting." He looked up at him, "What are you going to do?"

Mr. Qingxia is gone, and Liudao Quanshan Society will definitely not be like this now. Those students who come to visit because of Mr. Qingxia will inevitably leave. In this way, half of the students will be fewer in the society, and many gentlemen will also come to visit, and they will inevitably leave.

Without students and famous gentlemen, Liudao Quanshan Society will be the same as other Society, and it will even gradually be worse than those Society.

The time spent on Leting is limited, and without the guidance of a famous teacher, there is even more hopeless reading this book. Half of the ten-year period has passed.

Leting carried mountain spring water from the mud stove and brewed tea, saying, "It's okay, there is no famous teacher, I will read it slowly and think about asking more questions. There will be five years left if I fail in five years, and there will be twenty years left if I fail in ten years."

Reading is so interesting? It’s not good to do something, it’s hard to understand, so let him go. Guo Ziqian said: “If you have any difficulties, tell me that our Zhizhi Hall has a fee. Brother Liantang told me before leaving that it can be used to support members.”

Leting smiled and thanked: "I can still be self-sufficient, it's time for me to pay."

Guo Ziqian waved his hand: "I'm making the decision, you can delay your work for a few months." He looked proud. Now he is in charge of Zhizhitang in Chang'an Prefecture. Although it is nothing, he mainly contacts new members, urges everyone to study, and tells them what can be said about the events in the capital according to Liantang's instructions, and encourages everyone to study and the imperial examinations like Xue Qingliantang and others.

It would be great if Liantang and the others were able to win the Jinshi this time, not to mention Xue Qing won the top scorer again. It was an unprecedented event. There must be more people who want to join Zhizhitang. Guo Ziqian looked excited.

"Why are you going so slowly?" He looked out the window and shook the fan hard, wishing that the sun would set and the exam would be over.

Le Ting smiled and said, "The people who take the exam don't feel slow, they just regret not having enough time."

......

......

"It's not enough time to be hot and not delicious." A voice in a room said.

A young man standing in the corridor at the door of the door of the room was looking at. The young man was wearing green cloth clothes, squatting by the stove and fanning with the fan in his hand. The small pot on the stove was filled with mung bean porridge.

"June, you can try it later." She continued, "It's delicious."

"Young Master Qingzi, what food did you bring?" someone leaned over and asked in another room.

Xue Qing turned around and smiled at him, saying, "Mung bean porridge, scallion pancakes, braised beef shreds, Master Suo, do you want to taste some?"

Suo Shengxuan nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay."

Xue Qing asked Hao Jun to plate the food on the table and brought it to Young Master Suo... It was not that he ordered the soldiers, but that Hao Jun wanted to check it so that the candidates would not cheat. Hao Jun quickly brought the food to Suo Shengxuan. Xue Qing also served the porridge and sat in the room to eat, but more candidates were squatting outside or standing, worried that if they accidentally broke the test paper, they might be ruined in this life.

Suo Shengxuan's praise came from the next door, and asked if he wanted to eat his food. Xue Qing did not refuse. The number of troops quickly sent a stack of yam soup, and Xue Qing also praised him after eating it.
