In the yard, the magpie looked at several large boxes of books in a daze, the study room was already full of books, where should these boxes of books be placed?

"Magpie, come here and do me a favor!" Li Yanqing shouted in the room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It's coming!"

The magpie hurriedly walked into the study, only to see the little official standing on the desk, using a hammer to drive a few big nails into the wall, "Little official, what do you want me to do?" ”

Li Yanqing pointed to the leopard's head bow on the ground and said, "Hand me the bow and arrow!" ”

The magpie picked up the bow and arrow and handed it to Li Yanqing, "What are you doing?" ”

"It's called a bow and arrow on the wall, which means I won't touch a weapon for a year."

"Why hang it on the wall and put it in a box with a copper bow?"

Li Yanqing took off the bowstring, carefully hung the leopard head bow on the nail, hung the quiver again, tilted his head and looked at it for a long time, then jumped down and said to the magpie with a smile: "This is a ritual, which means that I have changed my mind and will go all out to study." ”

"Pretend!" The magpie muttered quietly.

Li Yanqing's eyes widened, "What did you say?" ”

"Didn't say anything!"

The magpie hurriedly said, "I mean, what about the boxes of books in the yard?" There is no room for it in the study anymore, and you can see that there are books all around. The magpie said, pointing to the books piled up all over the room.

This is really a problem, Li Yanqing scratched his head, suddenly had an idea, and said with a smile: "Buy a few more big boxes, classify the books that are not used for the time being in the boxes, and then stack them in a high place, so that there are seats." ”

"I think it's better to put the books that aren't used in the living room next door, and put a few more rows of bookshelves, and the living room is just for eating anyway."

"That's too!"

Li Yanqing also felt that Magpie's plan was good, he pointed to the wall and smiled: "Open one more door, and the two rooms will be connected together." ”

"But what about the ceremony of the petty official's going up to the wall?" The magpie pointed to the bow and arrow on the wall and smiled.

Li Yanqing realized that if he wanted to open a door, all the nails he had worked so hard to nail would be in vain, and the bow and arrow had to be taken down. ”

........

As night fell, the magpie was still busy sorting out the books for Li Yanqing, removing all the books that had nothing to do with the imperial examination from the shelves, and preparing them to be boxed, and some slightly minor imperial examination books were placed next door, and then sorted out and put on the shelves after the bookshelf arrived.

At this time, Li Yanqing is devoting himself to copying the scriptures, although a good method can make learning twice as effective with half the effort, but there are some things that he must do even if they are boring and boring, such as the Three Classics and the Little Classics, he has already memorized them backwards, but if he writes them down with a pen, it is another feeling, all the scholars who have been admitted to the imperial examination have gone through this step, and he Li Yanqing is no exception, but his strong memory makes it enough for him to copy it twice.

Li Yan had to be grateful to Uncle Hu back then, the benefits of his long-term running were not only physical changes, but also made him more energetic than ever, his memory was extremely strong, and he almost did not forget it, he read a book for an hour when he bought a book at noon today, and he still remembers the content he has read clearly, as if he carved it in his mind with a knife.

Li Yanqing wrote silently, while secretly reciting, he first had to know himself, how many words in one breath would not be wrong, on his desk placed a timing hourglass, this is a gift from Hanxue Bookstore, made of good colorless glass, five inches high, placed in the fine sand, it takes an hour to finish all the flow, the hourglass will swing slightly after the flow, and a silver bead hanging on it will sound due to the collision, the workmanship is very exquisite, worth ten dollars, it is a very practical timing tool.

Li Yanqing's handwriting is flying, he needs to write 1,500 words in one hour, and the requirement of the imperial examination is to write 800 words in one hour in order to complete the 15,000-word question in two days.

Li Yanqing demanded twice the amount of questions he asked to do, so as to ensure that he could calmly cope with the imperial examination.

'When! The hourglass on the table made a low and crisp sound, an hour came, Li Yanqing put down the pen, he made a slight estimate, wrote more than 1,300 words, did not write 1,500 words, but the speed of light is useless, it depends on the quality, when Li Yanqing checked it again, his heart was a little cold, and he actually made a mistake of eight words.

In the examination and the release of the examination, he first wrote on the draft, and then copied the main volume, which can ensure that the word is good, according to the convention, the provincial examination of the three classics and the concurrent scriptures, as long as the wrong five words, or painted three black scars, basically with the Jinshi no chance, after all, 50,000 or 60,000 people participate in the imperial examination, 100 people only record one, the competition is extremely fierce, is not allowed to appear this kind of low-level mistakes.

Li Yanqing sighed lowly, circled eight typos, and began to silence again for the second time.......

In the middle of the night, the magpie got up with sleepy eyes, she saw that the light next door was still on, so she got up and walked to the yard, came to the study window and looked in, only to see that the little official was still waving and writing, and the manuscripts around him had accumulated a thick stack.

Suddenly, there was a 'bang!' from the room. With a sound, the magpie looked closely, and saw that the little official had overturned the table to the ground, and the pen, ink and paper were all over the ground, and the hourglass was also rolling aside.

Li Yanqing was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently, he had written three times in a row, and there were still five typos, which really made him angry.

The magpie had already helped him put the pen, ink and paper back on the table, and the hourglass had been readjusted, but she didn't dare to say anything, and stood aside with her hands down.

After a while, Li Yanqing's anger calmed down slightly, and he said to the magpie: "You go to sleep!" I'm just mad at myself. ”

"The petty official is actually too anxious, there is still a year and four months, in fact, there is no need to force himself so much, it has already been two shifts, and the petty officials should also sleep! Wake up early tomorrow and study again. ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "

I'm in a bit too anxious, how can I not make a mistake when I doze off? I'm going to sleep, so go and sleep! ”

"I'm going to get hot water for the little official!"

"No need, go to sleep!"

The magpie had already run to the small kitchen, and after a while she brought a basin of boiling water, and said with a smile: "You can sleep sweetly by scalding your feet with boiling water, and you can take a nap for half an hour at noon, and sleep for three hours at night, this is my experience." ”

"You little girl, you still have experience?"

"Don't underestimate me, that's how I've been here for the past two years." Magpies are serious.

Li Yanqing then remembered that the magpie had been with him for two years, and he asked with a smile, "How is your mother's situation?" ”

Magpie's father was seriously injured and died in hundreds of gambling debts at the beginning of the year, and her mother was also sold to a large family as a servant last year, Li Yanqing asked Li Zhen to redeem her, and he and his son are currently opening a grocery store in Tangyin County.

"My brother went on a blind date last month, and at the end of the year, I entrusted all the money to my mother and asked her to buy a house in the county."

Magpie has made a lot of money in this half a year to make rouge, she is not only Li Yanqing's little maid, she is also the chief rouge master in Baoyanzhai, she carefully prepared the successful jade girl peach blossom pollen, snow muscle rouge and golden flower rouge are extremely popular in Bianjing, and have become a well-known brand of Baoyan fat, Li Daqi opens her fifty yuan a month, she refuses to ask for it, and several other rouge masters, with a monthly salary of twenty yuan, she is already satisfied.

The magpie went back to the room and took a packet of medicinal powder and poured it into the water, this is the unique formula used by Zhou Dong to dredge the meridians and relieve fatigue when he practiced arrows for Li Yanqing, he left the formula to a few apprentices before he died, but it is difficult to prepare, only a rouge modulation master like a magpie can be successfully prepared, Wang Gui and Tang Huai and others still come to ask for it from time to time.

She took another plaster, lifted Li Yanqing's little coat from behind, and pasted the plaster on him below the cervical vertebrae, and said with a smile while wiping it evenly: "Today, the master chatted with me, he was very worried about whether you could be admitted to the imperial examination, so I told him that as long as the junior official is ruthless to do one thing, there is nothing that cannot be done, the examination is like this, the same is true for the exercise, and the same is true for the entrance examination, the junior official is a genius, and I have not seen anyone smarter than the junior official." ”

Li Yanqing smiled dumbly and said, "I don't think I've seen anyone sweeter than your mouth." ”

The magpie grinned, "That's what the master praised me for!" ”

After soaking incense for a while, Li Yanqing only felt a warm current rushing into every corner of his body, and he was comfortable, but at the same time, he felt extremely tired in his head, and his eyelids were so sleepy that he couldn't open them, he walked back to his room, fell on the bed, and fell asleep in a moment.

At the fifth watch, Li Yanqing got up as usual, although he only slept for three hours, Li Yanqing did not feel sleepy at all, he only felt that his muscles and bones were comfortable, he freshened up a little, and went out for a run.
