Chapter 295 Han Qi and Uncle Yong

Li Zhang introduced Qingori to Huozi and Chou Niang. Although he did not say it clearly, these people also guessed the relationship between them, so he showed great respect to Qingori. Only Yan Niang sat aside and was angry. Li Zhang ignored her. It just happened that she could give up by using this matter. After all, this woman was really a trouble.

Qingori was a little shy at first, but Ugly and the others were also very enthusiastic, and there were no elders here, and everyone was all of them, so she slowly relaxed. Moreover, her memory was amazing. She remembered everyone's names just after Li Zhang introduced it once, and she didn't care about Yan Niang's bad attitude towards her at all.

"Brother, this is the future sister-in-law. You must catch it. There is a mistress in our family!" At this time, the ugly lady leaned into Li Zhang's ear and whispered. As soon as she finished speaking, Huozi, Douzi and others came to express the same meaning. It seemed that Qingzhi was really charming. They made these brothers and sisters turn against each other as soon as they met.

It was already very late, and Li Zhang and the others were very tired, so after dinner in the noise, Li Zhang sent Qingzhi home again, but Li Er took the initiative to ask to go home with Huozi and the others, which obviously gave Li Zhang and Qingzhi time to spend alone.

"My brothers and sisters have been in the market since childhood. Although I have been studying for the past two years, I am still a little casual when I get along. I hope you don't take it a word!" When I went back, Li Zhang apologized to Qingzhi for Huozi and the others, because when I was having dinner just now, Huozi and the others started calling Qingzhi "sister-in-law".

"It's okay, I... I'm not angry." Qingzhi also replied in a low voice. In fact, when she heard others call her sister-in-law, she was really not angry, but was a little happy, because this means that Li Zhang and his younger brothers and sisters accepted him.

Seeing Qingzhi's shy and lovely appearance, Li Zhang couldn't help feeling a move. After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke again: "Qizhi, we didn't know much before, and with my reasons, we missed our marriage several times, but now I have changed my mind. If you want, how about I'll come to propose marriage in a few days?"

When Qingzhi's face suddenly turned red when she heard Li Zhang suddenly mentioned his marriage. Although she had already prepared for her tonight, her daughter's thin-skinned family could not help but feel a little panicked at this time.

"What, don't you want to?" Seeing Qingzhi's red face, Li Zhang couldn't help but feel a little joking and asked deliberately.

"No..." Qingori was about to explain when she heard Li Zhang's words, but as soon as she looked up, she met Li Zhang's bright gaze, which made her look down again with shame. Then she said in an inauspicious voice, "Qingori... Qingori is waiting for Brother Li Shi's arrival at home!"

When Li Zhang heard Qingzhi's answer, he couldn't help but laugh. He even wanted to kiss this shy little woman at this time, but thinking of the relatively conservative style of the Song Dynasty, it would be very difficult for the other party to hold hands. If he really kissed at this time, Qingzhi would probably be angry. After all, the two have not completely confirmed their relationship.

The sky in the east was slightly white, and the noisy Tokyo city gradually calmed down. Even the crowds in front of the most lively Daxiangguo Temple were less than half. Some stalls that had been doing business all night were also yawning at this time. After all, the Lantern Festival would be lively for two consecutive days, so they had to rest during the day, and fortunately they would continue to set up stalls at night.

Without the noisy crowds and business stalls, the entire Tokyo City has also ushered in the most deserted time of the day. However, not everyone is preparing to go back and rest. For example, there are a group of energetic young people still wandering around in every corner of Tokyo City, and these young people are the scholars who are preparing to take the imperial examination next year.

Next year is the year of great progress, so scholars from all over the world rushed to the capital early. In fact, many of these scholars have been staying in the capital. Because the last imperial examination was actually two years ago. After Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, the officialdom had a great demand for officials, so the imperial examination was held every two years.

Speaking of the interval between the imperial examinations, when the Song Dynasty was first established, the imperial examinations were held almost every year, and it was later changed to one or two years. It was not until the reign of Emperor Yingzong of Song Dynasty that it was changed to once every three years. This was also the origin of the imperial examinations every three years in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

It is precisely because the interval between the imperial examinations is very short and the time for the holding is not fixed, so many scholars who want to participate in the imperial examinations will stay in the capital to study, so as not to miss the imperial examinations because of the long road. This also leads to a large number of scholars living in the capital, especially young people. Many scholars even started taking the imperial examinations at the age of fifteen or sixteen, but the imperial examinations are very difficult, and most of them are difficult to get what they want after taking the imperial examinations several times.

At this time, a group of young scholars came outside the deserted Daxiangguo Temple. Most of them were wearing long robes, either gorgeous or simple, but at this time they were all drunk. Most of these young scholars came from all over the world, and then made friends with literary talent, and finally became friends because of literary talent. Even if they were born in poverty, as long as you were talented, you could be brothers and brothers with scholars from officials, because perhaps they could immediately change their background after an imperial examination.

If Li Zhang was here, he would definitely recognize that there was an acquaintance among the scholars, that was his childhood friend Han Qi. Han Qi was tall and thin at this time, and he was quite handsome. Even if he stood with other scholars, he was very conspicuous. Unfortunately, the young ladies were all home at this time, otherwise they would definitely attract many women to follow him like Li Zhang.

"Brother Zhigui, I heard that Daxiangguo Temple can write poems here. If the poems are excellent, it can even become famous overnight in the capital?" At this moment, a young man of similar age as Han Qi asked him. These scholars were all from other places, and they had just arrived in the capital not long ago and were not very familiar with the capital. However, Han Qi lived in the capital for a while when he was a child, so he acted as a guide to the group of people.

"Yes, you can write poems on the walls on both sides of the temple gate. Brother Yong, are you a literary scent and want to write a poem?" Han Qi also laughed at this time. He heard about Li Zhang when he was in his hometown. The reason why he did not visit Li Zhang when he came to the capital was mainly because he was worried that he would be said to be flattering the powerful, so it was not too late for him to see Li Zhang after the imperial examination.

"Wouldn't it be too regretful if you don't have poems to cheer up the fun of the Chinese New Year?" The young man, who was called Uncle Yong, also shouted loudly, and his words were immediately approved by others. So a group of half-drunk scholars came to the gate of Daxiangguo Temple in a crooked manner and prepared to write their own poems on the wall. If they were rumored to be famous, they would also take a lot of advantage during the imperial examination.
