Chapter 123: The Imperial Examination for the Male Lead
At night, when everything was quiet, Lin Qu told Li Xiaoyao that he was about to go to the county school before going to bed.
"What?! Brother Lin Qu, you are going to study in the county town?" Li Xiaoyao's face was full of shock, as if he was struck by thunder.
Lin Qu nodded slightly and replied, "The county magistrate said that if I go to the county school, not only will my food and accommodation be free, but he will also give me two taels of silver every month."
After hearing this, Li Xiaoyao's face was filled with suspicion: "But Brother Lin Qu, why is the county magistrate so kind to you? Is he trying to get you to do something bad?"
Lin Qu smiled helplessly and explained, "That's not the case. The county magistrate is a man who values talent."
"Other students who passed the examination for the title of Tongsheng can also study at the county school for free, just like me. It's just that their rankings were slightly lower than mine, so they didn't have the two taels of silver awarded by the county magistrate."
After listening to Lin Qu's explanation, Li Xiaoyao finally felt relieved.
Li Xiaoyao: "Brother Lin Qu, please study hard. I will miss you."
Lin Qu pinched Li Xiaoyao's face and said with a smile: "Brother will miss you too."
"It's getting late, go to bed quickly." Lin Qu covered Li Xiaoyao with the quilt and said softly.
Li Xiaoyao blinked, still a little reluctant to ask: "Brother Lin Qu, when will you come back?"
"I will come back to see you when I have a day off." Lin Qu comforted him.
Li Xiaoyao nodded obediently: "Okay~"
Lin Qu looked at Li Xiaoyao, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
As Li Xiaoyao's breathing gradually became steady, Lin Qu slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
In his dream, he saw himself studying with his classmates from the county school, and he also saw his younger brother waiting for him at the village entrance...
……
A few days later, Lin Qu, accompanied by Li Dashan, set out on the journey to the county town.
The journey was not smooth; they had to cross dense forests and rugged paths, and endure hardships before reaching their destination.
After several hours of bumpy ride, Lin Qu and Li Dashan finally arrived at the county town.
……
One day, Zhang was working in the yard when she suddenly felt dizzy, her vision went dark, and she fainted on the ground.
Seeing this, Mrs. Chen was extremely anxious and immediately went to call a doctor.
Not long after, the doctor rushed over and finally came to a conclusion after careful diagnosis and questioning.
Doctor Chen smiled and said to everyone, "Congratulations, the patient is fine, she's just pregnant."
This sudden good news stunned everyone, followed by cheers.
Several children from the Li family gathered around, their faces filled with smiles.
Old Mrs. Chen was laughing so hard that her mouth couldn't stop, with tears in her eyes.
"Great, great..."
She thought that the Li family would only have one precious grandson, Guaibao, in this life, but she didn't expect that the second daughter-in-law, who had not been pregnant for many years, suddenly became pregnant.
For the Li family, this is undoubtedly a great joy.
The entire Li family was immersed in joy, and everyone was looking forward to the birth of this little life.
When Zhang woke up, she was surprised and happy to learn that she was pregnant.
She gently stroked her belly, feeling the little life inside, her heart filled with happiness and anticipation.
Li Dashan is even more considerate to his wife, running around every day and taking care of her meticulously.
Li Dalin was happy for his brother because his brother's wife was pregnant.
Unlike Zhang, Li became increasingly thinner and looked worried all day long.
