Chapter 28
After that day, Ji Mo devoted himself to the great cause of reading books.
His current body's brain is still very bright, and his memory is quite good. No matter what content he reads twice, he can remember it.If he treats the county examination as a college entrance examination, he should do the pre-examination simulation now. Unfortunately, the "Five-Year College Entrance Examination and Three-Year Simulation" set is not popular in this dynasty. A collection of examination articles for county examinations, general examinations and high school students was published, which was very popular among students.The article in which his elder brother Li Xiuyuan won the first place in the provincial examination spread throughout the state capital on the second day, and was printed in a book on the third day, which made Luoyang paper expensive for a while.
Ji Mo sent Chunhui to buy some collections of articles.As soon as Chunhui left, Zhou Hongxi came to visit. Ji Mo couldn't refuse to see him, so he invited him to the study.
As soon as Zhou Hongxi entered the room, he met Jimo face-to-face, and immediately said: "The king of heaven and the tiger of earth!"
"..."
Zimmer: Where did you get the two hundred and five?Fork out!
Seeing his silence, Zhou Hongxi stared and said, "You should answer 'Baota Township River Demon' in your next sentence!"
"Brother Zhou, why are you talking nonsense and don't know what to say? If you are not feeling well, please go back to your residence to rest."
"Don't pretend to be stupid, do you think I haven't heard the song "Castle in the Sky" you played?"
"Oh, it turns out that Brother Zhou also knows this song."
"Of course!"
Ji Mo nodded and said: "When I heard this song for the first time, I was astonished and begged Hu Shangjiao to be with me again and again. It's a pity that I haven't learned the essence for a short time. Where did Brother Zhou hear this song?" of?"
Zhou Hongxi stares at Ji Mo suspiciously.For the latter, it was easy to hide his expression, so he could only see a sincere face.
Zhou Hongxi couldn't help being a little shaken: Indeed, except for the time when he played the ocarina, this Li Xiuqi was nothing special, and there had never been any clues to show that he was a time traveler.Could it be that the real time traveler is someone else, and Li Xiuqi just happened to meet him and learned a song from him?
Ji Mo shook his head secretly, Zhou Hongxi must have been young before crossing over this time, and he lived the life of a wealthy son again in this life, he is not deeply involved in the world, and all his thoughts are clearly written on his face, it is really easy to understand.
"You... really learned it from Hu Shang?"
"Of course it's true, why would I lie to Brother Zhou with such a thing?"
"What does that barbarian look like?"
Ji Mo made some nonsense, and then under Zhou Hongxi's repeated questioning, he showed a troubled look, and detailed the details of meeting that Hu businessman.Under his impeccable fabrication, Zhou Hongxi's expression became more and more shaken.
"Brother Zhou is so interested in that Hu merchant, is there any special reason?" Ji Mo asked.
"No, no, I'm just curious." Zhou Hongxi muttered.
At this moment, the housekeeper came to report that a young master surnamed Bai had come to visit and was waiting in the front hall.
As soon as he heard the surname Bai, Ji Mo immediately thought of that Bai Cangwu, and thought to himself, why is this one cropping up one after another, and what is this guy doing here?
Ji Mo asked the housekeeper to bring him here, Bai Cangwu stepped into the threshold of the study, and seeing him with Zhou Hongxi, a strange look flashed across his face, which disappeared in a flash.
Bai Cangwu cupped his hands and bowed to the two of them, and his movements were not bad, he stood up straight behind and said: "I met Brother Li, so it turns out that Brother Zhou is here too, what a coincidence."
"Brother Zhou has something to do with me, and I've finished." Ji Mo said lightly, "Brother Cangwu came to the door today, what advice do you have?"
"That day I heard that Xiu Qi wanted to take the imperial examination, but Bai was not talented, and he was quite proficient in writing. He also summarized some test questions and articles over the years on weekdays. His mind might be of some use, so he had the audacity to bring it here."
Ji Mo was taken aback, followed by joy.
What is the review material compiled by Bai Cangwu?Those are precious top student notes!The most sought-after book before the final exam!
Ji Mo's words were full of undisguised enthusiasm: "Thank you for your trouble, I am struggling with no way to start, Brother Cangwu's move will undoubtedly help a lot."
Bai Cangwu didn't even dare to say.
"Brother Cangwu, now that you're here, I happen to be puzzled by something in my studies these past two days, may I ask you for advice?"
"There is nothing wrong with it, but I can't afford to ask for advice, just to learn from each other."
The two of them chatted vigorously, and Zhou Hongxi was very embarrassed at the side, so he said to Jimo: "Brother Xiu Qi, then I will take my leave first."
Just as Ji Mo wanted, he didn't even bother to pretend to stay for a while, and was about to call his servants to see off the guests, but Bai Cangwu said: "Brother Zhou, if you have nothing important to do, you might as well stay. As the saying goes: Three people must have my teacher If there is anything unclear about learning, everyone can discuss it together and benefit together.”
"Ah, um, brother Cangwu is right."
Zhou Hongxi only struggled for a second before going down the stairs, and smiled at Ji Mo, the host, showing eight bright white teeth.Ji Mo couldn't say "get out" to him bluntly, so he had to acquiesce.
In the past two days, I have been grinding my guns before the battle, and I have read a lot of books. There are some places that I don’t understand very well. Use one top at a time.
Bai Cangwu has a solid knowledge and is as strict as his appearance. After he explained the doubts of Ji Mo, he felt a sense of enlightenment.Zhou Hongxi originally only wanted to make soy sauce, but the main purpose was to observe Jimo secretly and find suspicious points on him, but later he was infected by the atmosphere and couldn't help but get serious, thinking in his stomach: Otherwise, I will also go to a county to try it out Look, anyway, if you fail the exam, you won't lose a piece of meat. If you pass the exam, wouldn't my father be moved to death by me?It should also make him look at me with admiration once!
The pre-examination tutoring group of Lifu was established on this day. On the second day, the third day and the following days, the three of them all got together to study.
Grandma Li was secretly surprised when she heard about it, so she went to see it for an excuse, and seeing that the three of them were indeed reading and discussing, she was overjoyed and relieved.
A few days later, Master Li sent a letter back, expressing his affirmation and appreciation for his son's progress, and then he reminded Grandma Li not to neglect her son's care.As he said in his letter: "Don't let Qi'er work too hard to overwork his body. If he fails this time, he will be fine in the next year. Finding a good wife for him is the most important thing now."
As expected of the couple, Grandma Li and her husband had the same opinion. While she and her husband wrote to describe the situation of the horse girl, she sent her confidant housekeeper to Liu County to inquire.
When it comes to Daliang's scientific examination, the qualification review of candidates is extremely strict, even the most elementary children's examination is unavoidable.Candidates need to register at the ceremonial room, submit the resumes of the three generations, and fill in the mutual statement and affidavit.Mutual tie means that several candidates guarantee each other, one cheats and everyone sits together.The bond is to ask the county's granny to guarantee that he will not fake his identity, hide himself, not be a substitute, not use a false name, and guarantee his innocence.The previous dynasty did not allow merchants to participate in the imperial examination, and it was only after the opening of the Liang Dynasty that this was loosened.Both Ji Mo and Zhou Hongxi successfully signed up and got their admission tickets. It was Bai Cangwu who sponsored them.
Jimo's second brother, Li Xiucheng, is three years older than him. He is currently studying at the Qingshan Academy in the county. When he learned that he had applied for the county exam, he rushed back while Xiumu was there.
"You want to sign up, why don't you ask me to introduce you to the lin student who has accepted the insurance, when did that Bai Cangwu become so close to you?"
When Li Xiucheng saw that Jimo didn't ask about his studies or his body, he just said this at the beginning. Jimo knew that the second brother was a stunned young man, so he didn't think it was strange, and replied: "Recently, it's all thanks to Brother Cangwu's teaching. , I have benefited a lot, he is also a teacher and a friend to me, and it is only logical to ask him to protect him."
Li Xiucheng frowned, waved back the serving maid, poured tea for himself, and gulped it down his throat.
Ji Mo guessed that Li Xiucheng should have something to say.After a while, Guo heard him say: "I have dealt with that Bai Cangwu, this man is quite deep in the city, don't get too close to him."
"Brother Cangwu is not talkative, and his thoughts are deep, but his character is not necessarily bad. I don't think this will prevent me from getting along with him."
"It's not as simple as you think." Li Xiucheng showed a tangled expression, hesitated for a while, and then said with a straight heart: "He's so masculine!"
Ji Mo blinked and said "oh".
Surprised by his younger brother's bland reaction, Li Xiucheng looked at him, and continued, "Bai Cangwu is my classmate in Qingshan Academy. He is very knowledgeable, polite and rigorous. I had a good impression of him. Until one night , so that I accidentally saw him and the book boy's...behavior, so I knew he had such a habit.
Although this kind of thing is wrong, but your second brother, I am not a nosy person, and they didn't find me, so I pretended nothing happened, and after that, I treated Bai Cangwu as usual, and I didn't worry about it. Have a grudge.But later, I gradually realized that he...has something wrong with him. "
Um? !Ji Mo raised his interest: "Is he interested in your second brother?"
Li Xiucheng was stunned for a moment, and then looked disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly.
"Bah! It's not me, it's you! Bai Cangwu often asks me about you in a roundabout way. I don't check it once or twice, but I'm not stupid if I do it too many times. I've naturally discovered his intentions."
The small flame that had just ignited was extinguished, and Ji Mo lowered his eyes lazily: "It's not a gentleman's job to talk about people behind his back, second brother."
"Didn't I just remind you?" Li Xiucheng laughed angrily, "I have nothing to do with his masculinity, but don't provoke my brother!"
Ji Mo pondered and said: "Well... I didn't expect that Brother Cangwu actually has a special liking for your brother and me. In fact, he is a handsome and talented person. If I become a brother with him, it will not be a disadvantage."
A frightened look flashed across Li Xiucheng's face, he pointed at him with a trembling finger, and said with tongue-tied words: "You, don't you..."
Looking at him, Ji Mo raised the corners of his lips slightly, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, and he looked very handsome.
Li Xiucheng tremblingly wanted to shrink back, but his younger brother grabbed his arm and called him sincerely: "Second brother~"
Dense goosebumps crawled up Li Xiucheng's back, and he stared at Zimo with wary eyes.
"Second brother, you and I have always been the closest. I can't hide anything from you, don't you think?"
"No, no, you are old now, you can have your own little secret!" Li Xiucheng hurriedly said.
"Your brother and I are also very masculine, second brother~" Ji Mo didn't allow him to escape, so he finished speaking neatly.
Li Xiucheng raised his hands to cover his ears.
"I'm so masculine—" Ji Mo raised his voice.
Li Xiucheng stopped covering his ears, and covered his mouth instead: "Just say what you say, why are you so loud! I'm afraid others won't hear you?"
Ji Mo nodded and admitted his mistake obediently.
Li Xiucheng sighed exaggeratedly, and said for a long time: "Hey, to be frank, your hobby is not very elegant. It's okay to keep a few children in private captivity. If you want to say that you are brothers, you must not do it, father and mother. I won't let you do whatever you want! What's more, what's more, Bai Cangwu doesn't look like a good match to me."
Seeing his serious expression, Jimo laughed and said, "Second brother, you don't take it seriously, do you? I just said it casually, Bai Cangwu is not my favorite type."
"Then..." Li Xiucheng's eyes sparkled with hope.
"But it's true that I'm a man, I hope Second Brother will keep it a secret from his parents."
呲——
The flames went out.
At the same time, the White Mansion in the north of the city.
Bai Cangwu hangs the pen on his wrist, concentrating, and the ink marks gradually take shape on the paper, turning into the back of a man standing under the peach tree.
He stopped writing and stared at the portrait in a daze, until a cold electronic voice sounded in his brain:
"Please pay attention to player 129999, the countdown to the end of the game is 100 days, please hurry up and attack the target character. Achievement conditions: the target character's favorability is above 90 (love is stronger than gold). Do you want to check the current progress?"
"Confirm to check."
"Li Xiuqi's favorability: 45 (nodding acquaintance)."
"It's just... a nodding acquaintance?" Bai Cangwu whispered.
