Master Guan also followed to see the list. At this time, he stroked the small tuft of beard on his chin and smiled, "Bai Yuan can try the prefectural examination, but no matter whether he passes or not, he can no longer participate in the academy examination. Study hard for two years, and then take the academy examination."

"The academy examination is not like the county examination and the prefectural examination." Master Guan said, "The academy examination is considered to be the formal entry into the imperial examination. Moreover, the academy examination requires two levels of examinations. The first level is the annual examination. If you pass the annual examination, you will be a scholar. Only scholars who pass the annual examination can continue to participate in the second level of the imperial examination."

"Only those who pass the imperial examination can participate in the provincial examination. And the scholars who pass the imperial examination are called students." Master Guan explained to Gu Shangyong and others in detail, "With what Bai Yuan has learned now, it is still a bit difficult for him to pass the academy examination smoothly."

"Now that you have passed the county exam, you must work harder in the next two months and must not relax." Master Guan said, "Although you will not take the college exam immediately regardless of whether you pass the prefectural exam or not. But if you can pass the prefectural exam this time, it will be the best, at least you can take the prefectural exam less next time."

"Let's go home first." Master Guan said, "I will give you the last relaxation today. From tomorrow on, you must study hard."

"From tomorrow on, except for morning exercises, all the rest of the time will be spent on studying. You can't go out to play anymore." Master Guan said.

"Yes." Gu Baiyuan agreed obediently.

Because he found that he was only in the middle of the list this time, and his ranking was not very high.

This shows that there are too many people who are better educated and work harder than him.

Although the candidates this time are older than him.

But most of them are actually still children, only one or two years older than him.

Maybe they have been studying longer than him, but Gu Baiyuan feels that if he works harder and spends more time studying than others, instead of spending so much time playing every day, his grades can be better.

Therefore, Master Guan said that he could not play for the next two months, or even later.

But Gu Baiyuan was not unhappy at all. He must pass the next government test in one go.

Soon, the will of the saint was passed to the prefect of Wuwei when no one else knew.

Others did not know, but Li Mumu learned the will from General Li Da, and immediately asked Dajiang, Su Dazhuang and Xiang Guicai to go to Wuwei to start the errand shop.

At the same time, a group of wounded soldiers also set off for Wuwei.

All this was done quietly. If you don't go to Wuwei, it is difficult to know about this.

Dajiang and others did not make a big fanfare. They looked at the shop and discussed with the prefect to set up a registration point. They were all low-key.

Before the opening, it was not disclosed to the outside world.

The Su Mansion was also packing up and preparing to go to Beijing. On

this day, the luggage of the Su Mansion was loaded in carts.

They also brought some specialties from the northwest, such as tiger skins, fox skins, etc., which were all to be given to people everywhere after entering Beijing.

Su Zhier and Madam Su rode in the same carriage.

Many people on the road recognized the Su family's carriage.

"Is Magistrate Su going to the capital?"

"Is he going to get a promotion?"

"His term as magistrate has expired. This time he is going to the capital, he is probably going to get a promotion."

Some ladies from Chong'an City also saw it.

"If Magistrate Su gets promoted, Su Zhier will probably be even more arrogant."

"Promotion? I'm afraid it will be difficult." A young lady said, "I heard from my father that Magistrate Su was reprimanded by the emperor and fined his salary. He just made a mistake. Will he get a promotion after his term expires? That's not certain." () ()

Along the way out of the city, Su Zhier saw Gu's snacks, Bidada Runners, and the Bidada Runners registration points all over the city. There were even more Bidada Runners wearing orange clothes than the registration points.

Su Zhier's eyes hurt from seeing it.

"Oh, the Su family finally left." Wang Cuizhen came back and said to Li Mumu, "They won't come back again."

"It shouldn't be." Li Mumu said, "Lord Su's term of office has expired. This time he goes to Beijing, there should be other official positions for him, but I don't know what he will be asked to do."

Whether to stay in Beijing or send him to the local area.

But according to the original book, it is impossible to get promoted after going to Beijing.

Su Zhifu was ordered to be fined for ten months. According to Li Mumu's guess, he will most likely stay there when he goes to Beijing this time.

But he shouldn't be promoted.

He will probably be transferred to an official position with little real power and hang there first.

As for why he was left there, of course the saint didn't want him to be a local official.

In the local area, far away from the capital, it seems to be far away from the center of power, but there is a chance to covet more money.

I think the saint will not give Su Zhifu such an opportunity again.

But no matter what, Su Zhifu will never return to Chong'an.

Without Su Zhier staring at her, Li Mumu felt a lot more relaxed, no longer having to worry about being plotted against.

In April, the weather in Chong'an became warmer.

Pots and barbecues are still on the menu, and Li Mumu plans to remove them after summer.

Modern restaurants have air conditioning in the summer, so even in the hot summer, hot pot restaurants and barbecue restaurants still have many customers.

But it doesn't work here. There are limited ways to escape the heat in the summer. It's like a furnace outside, and it's not much cooler inside.

I'm afraid no one wants to heat it up.

At this time of year, it's just right to be neither cold nor hot, and there is still a big market for pots and barbecues.

In addition, Gu's snacks have also added new dishes such as cross-bridge rice noodles, squirrel mandarin fish, etc. that Li Mumu had tried at home before.

Some menus have been replaced.

Wangyou Xiaoxi has also replaced some new snacks and dishes.

After finishing these, it will be time for Gu Baiyuan's trial.

Li Mumu counted the days, kneaded the dough in the kitchen in advance, rolled out the noodles, rolled them up with chopsticks into a square cake, and then put them into the oil pan to fry them into pancakes.

Then he ground the chili pepper, pepper, bay leaves, and dried ginger into powder, added sugar and salt, and put them into the pan to fry.

Cut the beef into slices and fry them to dry the moisture.

Originally, these could be made in an air fryer.

But obviously there is no air fryer now, so Li Mumu can only use deep-frying instead.

Then he chopped the cabbage and dried it in the pot with the lid on to dry it.

Then put them in the yard to air dry the oil on the surface, then mix them together, put them in a bowl, and cover them with a cloth.

Li Mumu took into account the strict inspection when entering the examination room.

When the cloth is opened, it will be known that Gu Baiyuan did not bring anything he should not bring.

Otherwise, they would be wrapped in oil paper one by one, and the oil paper bags would have to be opened, the contents would be poured out, and the oil paper bags would be checked to see if there were any words that should not be written.

I should have given Gu Baiyuan another meat sauce bag, but the meat sauce bag was not easy to mix directly in the bowl with other things. The fragrance was too strong and would disturb Gu Baiyuan's big questions.
