"I didn't expect there would be such a thing!" I heard it aside, and I felt funny. These scholars are really troublesome, and even such things can be arranged under the guise of being gentle.

"So that's it!" Liu Ziliang, like me, understood Li Jiru's coldness. He pondered for a while and asked again: "Since that's the case, then I don't know who the other talented woman is?"

Zhao Yunshan replied: "The other 'The Thousand-River Locking Cloud Thunder at the Cave' refers to the fact that Hu Wei uses the Prime Minister's daughter Miss Hu Meixin. The good-goods compare her to a cave with a Thousand-River, which is as hard to understand as clouds and thunder. No matter how hard it is to let people find out the truth."

When I heard Hu Meixin's name, I realized that there was a wife who had never passed away in Tianzhu Erjiao. "If you can be as famous as Li Jiru, it seems that she must not be an ordinary woman." I suddenly felt curious about Hu Meixin, and I just thought that I would find a chance to meet him in the future.

When I was thinking this way, Li Ziru from the side of the pavilion said again: "So, Brother Ziliang, you don't need to be so anxious. You just need to go step by step and send someone to propose marriage to my uncle in the future. In the end, I can fulfill my wish. Today, I see that my uncle is very satisfied with your family background."

"If this is really the case in the future, I will thank Brother Ziru heavily!" Liu Ziliang's eyebrows could see the joy, and he stood up and thanked Li Ziru.

Then the others talked about other gossips. I listened for a while, but I didn't have the intention to continue listening. Then I jumped down from the courtyard wall without knowing it, and went back to the room to sleep. That night, I saw Li Jiru in my dream, and at the same time I also saw my mother, Uncle Zhu Lu, Eighteenth Brother and Nineteenth Sister. But later, I saw Zhu Biao walking towards me with a dagger in his hand, which suddenly woke me up.

When I walked out the door, I was washing up roughly and was about to see how Mr. Li, who was responsible for serving me, was suddenly seen by the little maid beside Li Jiru, and as soon as I saw me, he said, "Seventeen, Miss is about to come to you!"

"Miss looking for me?" I was both surprised and happy, so surprised that I didn't know what Li Jiru had to ask me for. The happy thing was that I could take the opportunity to approach her again, but at this time I didn't dare to think too much in my heart, so I hurriedly followed the little maid.

When I arrived at the yard where Li Jiru and Li Yueru lived, I saw that there were no other people in the yard, only the two of them sat by the pool in the yard. I walked forward in surprise and bowed to them and said, "I wonder what instructions did the lady ask me to come?"

While talking, I secretly noticed the expressions of Li Jiru and Li Yueru. Seeing that Li Jiru still looked cold, Li Yueru on the side looked at me up and down in surprise. This made me feel nervous, and I didn't know what they wanted to do.

"No, today I suddenly became interested. I thought of a couple, just wanting you to match me!" Li Jiru said calmly, then took out a note with the first couplet and handed it to me.

I looked at the note nervously and saw that the first couplet on it was: "Three cups and five cups in the small village shop, nothing."

"Why did they suddenly make me match?" From the moment I took the note, my mind kept turning, but I couldn't understand why Li Jiru came to me so suddenly.

Looking at the first couplet, I just thought about it for a moment, and actually I had already thought of the second couplet, but I didn't dare to say it so quickly. So I thought for a long time before carefully answering: "Miss, my second couplet is: 'The Great Wu Kingdom is unified in all directions, and it is not divided into north and south.' I don't know whether it is neat or not."

After hearing my second couplet, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Jiru's eyes and didn't say anything. Instead, Li Yueru next to her showed more obvious surprise and said, "Ji Ru, you are really right. He is indeed very good at matching the pair. Even this first couplet can be matched. It's really not simple."

I was even more shocked when I heard this. I looked at the two women in front of me with some confusion, and secretly guessed in my heart what they wanted to do.

"Seventeen, can you tell this first couplet that even Ziru's cousin can't be corrected. It seems that you are not as simple as you said before. You have only been to school for a few years, right?" Li Jiru stared at me tightly, as if she wanted to see through my thoughts at a glance.

If a person's knowledge has been improved to a certain level, then things that are profound in others' eyes may become extremely easy in his eyes, just like an adult man who holds something that ordinary children think is very heavy. In fact, it is just a breeze for him. This situation now appears on me. I don't know how the first couplet will make people feel difficult, and I have tried to pretend to have been thinking for a long time before I came up with it, but I didn't expect that I would fall into the "trap" that Li Jiru set up to test me, "Just... why did she test me?"

"Seventeen, the last time I came up with the couplet of 'eye beads, nostrils, beads still on Confucius', which was immediately turned out by you. Although you have read it before, in fact, this couplet was thought of by my uncle. There are only three or five people in this world. How could you read it before? So from then on, I knew that you were not as simple as studying in a school for three or five years." After a slight pause, Li Jiru's face turned cold and raised a little voice and said, "Tell me, who are you? What do you want to do when you come to our Li Mansion?"

I quickly turned my mind, and I immediately thought of a fairly docile excuse and said, "Miss, I didn't mean to deceive you and the master. I used to be a scholar who studied hard at home. Because my family was poor and my parents passed away, I wanted to go out to do some business and make a living with my elders, and save money for the exam. Unexpectedly, the elders and I went to sea on a boat, but the storm that I encountered on the way, the ship sank, and I also wandered here, letting my sister save me. Miss, I..."

I explained in tears, and not to mention that Li Yueru and the little maid on the side showed sympathy on their faces. Even Li Jiru couldn't help but be moved when she heard it. After thinking for a while, Li Jiru nodded and said, "It seems that I was wrongly blamed you before." After a slight pause, she said, "Although I don't know what your poetry is, I think you are extremely agile in your brother's talent. Well, do you have fame and fortune?"

At this time, I couldn't hesitate and quickly replied: "Miss, I used to take the children's exam and was also a scholar."

"Oh, I didn't expect a scholar to fall here to be a servant. This is a pity." Before Li Jiru could speak, Li Yueru said regret for me first.

Li Jiru thought for a while and asked, "Seventeenth, the provincial examination is near this fall, do you want to apply for the exam?"

"Miss?" I was slightly stunned, and then I fully understood what she said. I really didn't expect that under her indifferent appearance, she had such a warm heart. Her meaning was undoubtedly to encourage me to apply for the provincial examination. Her concern for the identity of a small person like me really touched me.

"But Miss, if I want to apply for the provincial examination, I will not only have enough money, but it will take a lot of time to rush back to my hometown all the way. I am afraid I will not be able to catch up this time." I don't have any scholarship status. If I really want me to go back to my hometown, I will be a little dear, so I immediately refused.

Li Jiru shook her head and said, "You don't have to worry about this. As long as you want to take the exam, I can ask my father to protect me and donate to you another exam. Then you can take the provincial examination in Yuhang."

According to the imperial examination system of Dawu, it can be divided into children's examinations, provincial examinations, metropolitan examinations and palace examinations. Tong examinations are collective names for county examinations, government examinations and college examinations. Children's examinations who have not yet obtained student qualifications are called scholars in the children's examinations. Scholars can participate in the provincial examinations held in each provincial capital every three years, and if they pass the examinations, they are called Juren. Juren from each province participates in the examinations hosted by the Ministry of Rites in Beijing every three years. Those who pass the examinations are called Gongshi. Gongshi takes the imperial examinations in the palace court of the imperial palace and the imperial grandfather himself sets the exams. The invigilator is called the Palace Examination, and those who pass the palace examinations are called Jinshi.

Among them, scholars who want to take the children's exam and the provincial exam must apply for the exam early in their hometown, otherwise they will not be able to take the exam. Of course, there can be exceptions, that is, people with extraordinary status and status will be protected, so that they will not have to take these exams in their hometown.

When I heard Li Jiru's words, I was naturally happy because I had long wanted to try to participate in the imperial examination, so as to be able to enter the palace examination and get the summoned by the emperor's grandfather. If I could get Li Xiaokong as my protection, my origin would not be a problem.

Li Jiru probably noticed my intention and said, "Okay, I'll go and say to you and my father now, just wait here!" Although she looked leisurely, she looked like a decisive person from the moment she made a decision. As soon as she made a decision, she gave me a message and hurried towards Li Xiaokong's residence.

I thought quietly for a while, but suddenly I remembered that there was a Li Yueru in front of me. I quickly looked up at her and found that she was looking at me curiously. In this moment, the eyes of both of us touched each other, and it was really hard to describe it. In a blink of an eye, she turned red on her face and turned away in a hurry.
