At the moment, Lin Yanchao and Lin Yanshou walked from their homes, and when they arrived at the Yaqian Street of the county government, there were already many scholars from various townships and villages, ready to enter the county government to sign up.

Lin Yanchao and Lin Yanshou went to the tea house next to the county government first, and Lin Chengyi was already sitting inside. Lin Yanchao gave Lin Chengyi the gift money given by Lin Yanshou, and Lin Chengyi said immediately: "Where is the shortage of money for the teacher now." "Don't take it now.

Lin Chengyi said: "This time, I have five people and three others, and I will not confiscate a penny for the teacher...... Wait for them to come. ”

While speaking, Lin Yanchao looked outside the tea house, and immediately said happily: "Zhongshu, Haoyuan, oh, this is Brother Guihe." ”

Hou Zhongshu and Zhang Haoyuan were both excited when they saw Lin Yanchao and hugged his arm.

Hou Zhongshu cried: "Yanchao, you want to kill me." ”

Zhang Haoyuan reprimanded: "What are you crying and crying, you are laughed at." ”

When Lin Yanchao saw Hou Zhongshu, Zhang Haoyuan and the others were also a little excited, and they couldn't help but have slightly red eyes.

Lin Chengyi, who was on the side, couldn't help stroking his beard when he saw it, and said in his heart, "My apprentice is also a lover."

Lin Yanchao, Hou Zhongshu, and Zhang Haoyuan are close to each other, while Zhang Guihe watched coldly from the sidelines: "Brother Yanchao, you went to Lianjiang Academy to study this year, I don't know what famous hall you read, how about we divide the high and low this time?" ”

Lin Yanchao smiled, he felt that Zhang Guihe was like this, and he was still much cuter than Yu Ziyou, and then said, "Okay." ”

Lin Chengyi straightened his face and said, "Okay, don't rub it off, let's go in." ”

Everyone went out of the tea house, but saw that there was already a long queue in front of the county yamen, and the officials were outside to maintain order.

Lin Chengyi led them straight past the candidates who had signed up for each other's insurance policies and entered the middle gate of the county government, and the yamen saw Lin Chengyi's shirt representing the identity of Xiucai, and they didn't dare to stop him.

When everyone arrived at the door of the county yayi, Lin Chengyi directly took a name card and gave it to the little official, attaching the number 'Lin Chengyi, a protégé under his rule'.

The little official didn't dare to slack off, and invited Lin Chengyi to enter, Lin Yanchao and they waited for a while, and then a little official led them to a room for record, asking them if any of them in the three generations were engaged in prostitution, excellence, soap, subordination, and untouchables, and others.

One of the items in the record is Nian Geng, also known as the trial year.

Trial year, scholars are their own report, according to the atmosphere of advocating prodigies at that time, everyone will be less than two years old, in the Qing Dynasty there is a Ministry of Rites Shangshu is the posthumous son, his father sacrificed his life for the country, after he became a big official, fellow villagers for their mother to invite filial piety archway. A small official said to him, this is not good, the old man died in a certain year, and the old lady was born in a certain year, how old should the old man be this year, but when you applied for the exam in the county, you underreported two years old. In this way, Mrs. Tai gave birth to you, just two years after the death of Mrs. Tai.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu listened to it at the time, and it was estimated that his head was full of black lines.

After Lin Yanchao heard this story, he decided not to cheat on this matter, how old should he be, after the process was completed, the little official led them to the side of the room to get the exam card and signed it, and also wrote the appearance characteristics of the five people on a piece of paper, and pasted it after the exam card, this paper is called a floating ticket, and finally each person paid another hundred Wen regular money.

After Lin Chengyi took the disciples, he went to visit his friends, he will take the township test next year, and now he is also going to make friends.

Lin Yanchao walked out with a few classmates and asked, "Where do you live now?" ”

Hou Zhongshu lowered his head and said: "The county inn is too expensive, I can't afford to live in it, wait until a few days before the exam, and I will come to live again." ”

Zhang Haoyuan reprimanded: "What nonsense, at that time, the inns in the county town were full of people, you can sleep in the firewood room, even if you burn high incense, I would have asked you to live with me." ”

Hou Zhongshu said: "Your inn is two taels of silver a month, who can live there?" ”

Zhang Guihe sneered: "I have relatives living in the city, so I won't talk to you anymore, let's go first." ”

After Zhang Guihe left, Lin Yanchao remembered the days when he was in social studies, cooking rice with Hou Zhongshu and eating bibimbap with cockroach sauce and said: "Zhongshu, Haoyuan, you live in my house with me, wouldn't it be nice for everyone to learn together every day." ”

Hou Zhongshu cheered: "Great, Yanchao, are you buying a house in the city?" ”

Zhang Haoyuan also smiled and said: "It's great, we can't ask for it to study with Yanchao." ”

At that moment, Hou Zhongshu and Zhang Haoyuan arrived at Lin Yanchao's house, and they were all amazed.

Hou Zhongshu and Grandma Liu said as if they entered the Grand View Garden: "Yanchao, your family, even if it is the palace, is nothing more than that." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Zhongshu, you are exaggerating." ”

Zhang Haoyuan said: "Okay, it's better to be from the city." Yanchao, you bought the house in the city early, so you didn't have to squeeze the inn for you and me, and it was really prescient. ”

While speaking, Lin Qianqian walked out, Hou Zhongshu and Zhang Haoyuan said in unison: "Sister-in-law! ”

Lin Qianqian was ashamed and angry: "Yanchao, why did you bring the two of them into the house, see if I don't beat them out." ”

The two said in unison, "Don't, don't." We can't make amends, can't we? ”

Lin Qianqian's expression was a little warm, and Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "Qianqian, they will live with us before the county test, and there are two wings in the front yard, so let's clean up and live." ”

Lin Qianqian nodded and said, "Okay, but their rent is free, but the food money can't be free." ”

Hou Zhongshu and Zhang Haoyuan said together: "Of course, of course." I saved the money of our two or two guest houses, and I am grateful. ”

"I also have to do my own laundry and tidy up my bedding."

"Of course, of course."

Lin Qianqian smiled and went down to clean up the house. The Lin family was going to invite someone to come, but the eldest lady and Qianqian did not agree, so the two wings in the front yard were always empty.

After staying here, Lin Yanchao also read with the three of them every day, and he would also take the time to tell them some of his reading experiences. The time for a month of studying for the exam passed quickly, and it was finally time to go to the exam.

Drums beat on the drum tower in the city.

Lin Yanchao also opened his eyes dimly, sat up from the bed, and looked at the clothes he wore for the exam next to the pillow, but in the kitchen opposite the building, the lights were on, and there was a faint sound of pots colliding.

Lin Yanchao put on his clothes and looked out the window to see that this was still the scene of the fourth watch, and the white walls of Daiwa were still shrouded in the thick of the night.

Knowing that today was the day to take the county exam, Lin Yanchao put on his crown clothes one by one, and then walked downstairs.

Lin Qianqian probably heard the sound of going downstairs, walked out of the kitchen, wiped his apron with his hand, and said, "Brother Chao, you wait a minute, breakfast will be ready soon." After saying that, he hurried in.

The eldest lady in the kitchen also shouted to the north room in the side hall: "Extend your life, extend your life, get up quickly, otherwise it will be too late." ”

A voice replied lazily, "Got it, mother." ”

Lin Yanchao walked to the front yard, but when he saw Hou Zhongshu and Zhang Haoyuan, they both had panda eyes, and they knew that they hadn't slept well all night.

Lin Yanshou also came in on the side, and when he saw the two of them, he smiled and said: "Sure enough, he is not a person who does big things, what will he do if he takes the government test and the hospital test in the future?" You see I slept well last night. ”

Lin Yanshou said this, Hou Zhongshu, Zhang Haoyuan was not angry, and the eldest lady on the side came out with a table and said with a smile: "That's, my family Shouyu was born to be an official, this time it must be the head of high school?" ”

Hou Zhongshu and Zhang Haoyuan both shook their heads, and Lin Yanchao said with relief: "It's nothing, other people must not have slept well this night." ”

Zhang Haoyuan asked, "Yanchao, how do you look like you are sleeping well." ”

Lin Yanchao said in his heart, can I say that I have experienced countless big and small exams in my last life? I have taken more papers than you practice on a daily basis.

Then the eldest lady, Lin Qianqian came out with the dishes, and the four of them gathered around a table to eat. Aunt Lin Qianqian prepared meals in less than three watches, and there were steamed buns, rice porridge, pickles, braised pork, and a basket of boiled eggs on the table.

Everyone ate and drank, Lin Qianqian peeled eggs for Lin Yanchao on the side, and reminded: "Drink less porridge, so as not to be inconvenient in the examination room." ”

"Well, that's right." Lin Yanchao put down the porridge, picked up a piece of steamed buns, and praised Lin Qianqian for being careful. made Hou Zhongshu, Zhang Haoyuan looked jealous.

And Lin Yanshou kept beating the egg on the side, this egg was peeled in half, and after looking at the egg heart, he went to break another one, and Hou Zhongshu said on the side: "Young Master, you didn't do it like this, you peeled it all, what are we eating?" ”

Lin Yanshou had already peeled five or six pieces, and immediately burst into tears and said, "No, no, there are so many eggs that don't have a heart." ”

Zhang Haoyuan said with a smile: "Young Master, if you eat soft-hearted eggs, you can go to high school, you really believe it!" Ha ha! ”

"I'll believe, I'll believe!" Lin Yanshou played tricks.

At this time, the bell sounded at the entrance of the alley, and Lin Yanchao said: "The carriage has arrived, don't eat, let's go!" ”

"Haven't I eaten yet?" Hou Zhong wrote.

Lin Yanchao said: "Bring all the steamed buns and eggs, let's eat them on the road, and prepare some in the examination room." ”

The eldest lady said: "No, the food basket is prepared for you." ”

Everyone lifted the long-eared examination basket and the book bag. Lin Yanchao said: "Let's take a look, have you brought all the exam cards?" Don't come back then. ”

Everyone looked nervously in the bookbag for a while, and then said with relief: "Bring it, bring it." ”

Lin Yanchao nodded, and immediately pushed open the door, there was a black hole in the hole, and the night was deep at the moment, only the glimmer of some lights at the entrance of the alley.

Lin Yanchao came out with a lantern, and the candlelight dispelled the darkness step by step, and when he walked to the carriage, he looked back at the door of the house, but saw Lin Qianqian standing there with a lantern in his hand, looking at himself on tiptoe.

At this moment, Lin Yanchao felt that the exam was far, far away from him, there was no need to be anxious, there was no need to be in a hurry, just let go of the exam.

There's a little Lori at home waiting for him to come back!
