Chapter 304: He was taken away when he was full of fighting spirit
Mrs. Zhao felt a little guilty, but she didn't want to suffer this loss, so she jumped up and said:
"You mean, I'm here to bully you? I'm here to cause you trouble?"
"Isn't it?"
"Haha, I don't know who came to the banquet hosted by Ye Xuanzhong, and made a big fuss, saying that Li Zhiyuan will definitely pass the provincial examination and get first place! He will definitely invite Caiping's family to the banquet."
"Aren't the results of the provincial examination announced today? I just came to ask when the banquet will be held! Who would have thought that as soon as I entered the door, this Li Xiucai... oh, no, it should be Li Juren! He suddenly went crazy and came to kill people with a hoe in hand."
When Li Zhiyuan heard the three words "Mr. Li", his eyes turned red again.
The villagers' eyes looked at Li Zhiyuan differently. No matter how mean this Mrs. Zhao had been in the past, at least she had done the right thing this time!
As the saying goes, he who provokes first is the meanest. Weren't they the ones who provoked Ye Caiping first? No wonder people came to ask him.
Mrs. Zhao felt that she was in the right, and she was very arrogant: "Mr. Li, did you pass the exam?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Zhiyuan's face turned purple.
The surrounding villagers all looked at him expectantly: "Yes, Mr. Scholar, did you win?"
The villagers all hope that Li Zhiyuan can win.
After all, 90% of the people in the village have the surname Li and are from the same clan. Having a scholar is a matter of honor to the family.
No matter what problems you encounter in the future, Li Zhiyuan will always come to your rescue.
Also, Ye Caiping has become rich since returning to Qinghe Village.
Two large workshops were set up, and the whole village benefited from it. This made several nearby villages very envious.
The people in Lijia Village are feeling even more distressed.
If Li Zhiyuan had not divorced Ye Caiping, these two workshops could have been opened in Lijia Village.
But no matter what, the person has already died.
Moreover, it was they who helped Li Zhiyuan to divorce him. It's too late to say anything now.
So Lijia Village started to compete with Qinghe Village.
Naturally, we hope that Li Zhiyuan will pass the imperial examination and surpass Qinghe Village.
"Zhiyuan, what place did you get?"
"How many places can I get? Last time, Shui Niang told me that the top three would be easy."
Li Gou Wa stepped out from the crowd and said, "Of course my uncle the scholar has passed the exam! No, from now on, I should call him uncle the juren! My uncle the juren has already won the first prize in the provincial exam!"
Li Jiaojiao's expression changed suddenly.
Li Zhiyuan even wished he could die on the spot, his body trembling.
Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly, what place did you win? When are you going to invite the banquet? Tell me so that I can take the message back."
Li Zhiyuan: “…”
"What's wrong? You didn't... miss it? You didn't miss it?!!"
"What, he didn't hit it?" The villagers were furious.
Li Zhiyuan: "I, I..."
He swung his sleeves fiercely and was about to go home and hide. Li Jiaojiao grabbed him and stepped forward and said:
"Well... uncles and aunts, as the saying goes, a horse may stumble, and a person may misstep. My father and brother accidentally caught a cold during the exam, and they didn't even finish the test paper..."
Mrs. Zhao: "What excuses are you making? Yesterday I saw him bragging at the wonton stand in town about how well he answered the questions, how his writing was flowing and how he wrote like a god! He said his answers were so beautiful. How come he changed in just one day?"
Li Jiaojiao wanted to strangle Mrs. Zhao to death, this damn bitch!
The villagers looked at each other in confusion; they all understood.
Li Zhiyuan boasted a lot before the exam. He boasted that he would be the top three in the exam, but in the end he didn't even pass the exam. It’s fine if you didn’t win, but you’re still making excuses!
Everyone looked at Li Zhiyuan with contempt.
"Okay, shut up!" Li Zhiyuan roared, turned around and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, Li Jiaojiao grabbed him again: "Yes, shut up!"
"Humph, so what if I don't make it? If I don't make it, then I won't make it. My father and brother are real men, they can bend and stretch. If they don't make it this time, then we'll make it next time. If they don't make it next time, then we'll make it the next time!"
"On the contrary, you from Qinghe Village came to mock us as soon as you saw us in such a state. What a mean person! Go back and tell the Ye family that we are not afraid of falling! We are not afraid of being laughed at! We will stand up in the face of the storm! We, the people of Lijia Village, are not easy to bully!"
Li Jiaojiao's passionate and impassioned speech successfully ignited all the villagers in Lijia Village.
Yes, the people in Lijia Village are not easy to bully!
Even if Li Zhiyuan was indeed a little arrogant, he was still the only scholar in their village. Even if I fail, I can't let the people of Qinghe Village look down on me or bully me.
The villagers could not help but yell at Mrs. Zhao:
"You people from Qinghe Village, get out of our village!"
"So what if Zhiyuan fails? It's none of your business."
"You always come to interfere in everything, what a mean person you are!"
Seeing that the villagers were all defending him, Li Zhiyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and looked at Li Jiaojiao with some emotion.
Fortunately, there is Jiaojiao, otherwise he would have lost all his face and dignity.
Zhang Shuiniang and Li Zimo were secretly delighted. If this bitch didn't come to laugh at people, Li Zhiyuan would have become the laughing stock of the whole village.
Now that Mrs. Zhao has made a fuss, the dispute has escalated to a level between villages.
If Li Zhiyuan fails the exam, the whole village will lose face and will be looked down upon by Qinghe Village.
So Lijia Village must protect Li Zhiyuan!
Who has the time to care about their boasting and the things they can't do?
It was the first time that Mrs. Zhao suffered such a big loss. She was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Li Jiaojiao looked at her miserable appearance, smiled smugly, and said to the villagers:
"My father and brother did fail in this provincial examination. But I, Li Jiaojiao, swear here that in three years, my father will definitely win the title of Jieyuan."
"If you can't get it down, I will write the three words Li Jiaojiao backwards!"
The villagers applauded: "Good!"
The villagers' support made Li Jiaojiao even more proud: "Also, people from Qinghe Village, go back and tell Ye that we must hold a banquet! Because my brother passed the imperial examination! And he was the first in the exam."
"Do you understand? The first place in the case means the first place in the entire Yue'an County! This title alone can crush you!"
When the villagers heard this, they became even more excited: "Yes, we almost forgot that Zimo is the first place winner! And he is the first place winner at the age of 18. He is the pride of our Lijia Village."
Li Zimo immediately put his hands behind his back and straightened his chest.
Zhang Shuiniang was very happy. Now she was no longer afraid of being laughed at by others.
Li Jiaojiao's expression turned stern, and she stared at Mrs. Zhao: "You from Qinghe Village, get out of our village!"
Villager: "Yes, get out!"
"Get out!"
Mrs. Zhao's face turned pale and she was about to run away with her tail between her legs.
Unexpectedly, several yamen runners pushed through the crowd and came over: "What are you arguing about? Are you gathering here to fight?"
The villagers were frightened when they saw the yamen runners and quickly stepped back: "No, no, no, we...were just arguing for a few minutes. You guys are here for..."
Li Gou Wa's eyes rolled, his expression excited: "Is he here to announce the good news? My scholar uncle passed the imperial examination? He passed!"
