Love Your Husband

Part 151 - 160

He brought a total of 100 taels of silver this time, and originally thought that he would never be able to spend it all, but now after a round of shopping, he regretted it.

I should have brought all the money in the cash box!

Tao Zhu also felt that the prices in the city were high, but as the saying goes, a poor family makes a rich trip, and as long as he could feel comfortable when away from home, he didn't mind spending a little more money.

On the fourth day, Li Qiao went to the government office with Xu Ying and Meng Yue to register for the provincial examination.

The required documents and procedures were similar to those for the county examination. At this time, they could not ask the village head or the students on government stipends to act as guarantors, and could only produce the official document issued to them by the Pingcheng County Government.

When it was Li Qiao's turn to hand in her official documents, the official in the ritual room who was in charge of the registration of candidates couldn't help but look at Li Qiao a few more times.

Pingcheng Li Qiao, is this the Li Qiao who was commended by the emperor?

I heard that the magistrate of Pingcheng simply posted his policy paper in order to quell the rumors. Once the paper was posted, all doubts disappeared.

Tsk, the future is limitless.

He didn't know what kind of brilliant essay the top scorer in the Pingcheng case could write in this provincial examination, and he was looking forward to it.

Although thinking this in his mind, the official did not say much. He carefully checked the various documents handed over by Li Qiao, and then registered Li Qiao.

Li Qiao remained calm and allowed the adult to look at him.

But I couldn't help but wail in my heart. People are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat. The pressure is huge.

After coming out of the government office, Li Qiao said goodbye to Xu Ying and Meng Yue, and then took Tao Zhu back to the rented courtyard.

It is already late March, and the provincial examination is scheduled for April 9th, with only half a month left. He has no choice but to work hard.

He was already the top suspect in the case. Not only did Magistrate Jiang not want him to fail at the critical moment, he himself was also unwilling to fail.

Li Qiao began to study hard again, and Tao Zhu was responsible for his daily life just like he did in Sanliu Village.

The reason for renting the yard, besides its quietness, was also because he wanted Li Qiao to eat familiar home-cooked meals.

The yard they rented was close to the government office, so it was a bit far from the market that sold vegetables and meat. But fortunately, every morning there were small vegetable vendors carrying their poles and selling their goods around, so they could eat fresh vegetables in the morning.

The weather is not too hot at the moment, so breakfast is always hot. The bought vegetables are either fried, stewed into soup, or made into pancakes.

If you want to eat meat, you have to go to the meat market to buy it. Vegetable vendors don’t sell meat.

Tao Zhu brought a meat grinder, fearing that Li Qiao would get tired of drinking porridge all the time, so he made some multi-grain soy milk and corn juice.

After a simple breakfast, Li Qiao read while Tao Zhu went to buy meat with Li Dashan and Zheng Qianqian, and also bought some vegetables that the vegetable vendors didn't have.
