Lin Yanchao thought he was the first to return home, but he found out that it was not.

Walking to the front yard, but hearing Lin Yanshou's voice, he said triumphantly: "Daddy, Mr. said, in the first year of the county test, he didn't let me go, but let me accumulate a lot of money, and wait until today's county test to go, so that it is stable, and even the head of the case is like a bag to get something." ”

Lin Yanchao almost hit the threshold when he heard this, and said in his heart, you don't want to think about it, since your husband thinks that you must be in high school, why don't you just give you a trial guarantee for the county?

But the uncle and aunt praised it vigorously.

Uncle smiled and said: "My son is really smart, but don't be proud, you must know that although it is easy for you to show talents, it is still a little difficult to lift people, and you need to study modestly." ”

Lin Yanchao fell again when he heard this, and almost sat on the ground, saying in his heart, sure enough, if there is a father, there must be a son.

The eldest lady said: "Then you will submit the paper in advance, have the old parents praised you for anything?" ”

Lin Yanshou said: "I asked my old parents to take the test, but he glanced at my paper and told me to go home first, and when the news comes, I'm afraid he will take me directly into the house to test." ”

The uncle was puzzled: "If you write the paper well, the old parents will take you in court?" ”

Lin Yanshou said: "Dad, don't worry, Mr. said that I have a clear experience, and I am like picking up mustard." My old parents should not praise me, it is for the purpose of loving talents, lest I be proud and delay the government and hospital examinations. ”

"My son has a point."

"Not arrogant or impatient, I did so well in the exam, and I am so humble. You see, our children are promising. The eldest lady praised it next to her.

Lin Yanchao said in his heart, this answer is sincere.

Lin Qian's voice came, and he asked, "What about Brother Chao?" ”

Lin Yanshou said: "Yanchao, haven't left the examination room yet?" ”

"That's it!"

"Shallow, don't worry." Uncle comforted.

At this time, Hou Lin Yanchao walked into the courtyard, and Lin Qianqian saw that he didn't dare to ask. Uncle smiled and said, "How did you do in the exam?" ”

"It's fine. Thanks to the examination room arranged by the uncle, otherwise it would have been enough to choke today, and the wind would be so cold that it poked into the bones. ”

Uncle smiled and said: "Your uncle, I have such a little ability, take the test well, if you don't pass this year, let's come back next year." This uncle can afford to raise it. ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Thank you, uncle." ”

"Thanks for what. The family does not speak two words. ”

While talking, Lin Gaozhu also came back, and the uncle and aunt were surprised and said, "Dad, aren't you on an errand in the yamen?" How did I come back. ”

Lin Gao said: "My two grandchildren have to come back to see if they have to take the county exam today." ”

Saying that, Lin Gao picked up a lotus leaf and hugged the minced meat and said to the eldest lady: "Take it to boil and make up for your brain." ”

Eat pig brains again! It's really the old concept of what to eat and what to supplement.

Lin Gaozhu and Lin Yanshou, Lin Yanchao said a few words, which was nothing more than to let the two of them relax, whether they were in or not. I'll read to you, don't worry about your family, let go of the exam.

Lin Yanchao calculated that he had used a lot of money from his family to study this year. In this era, it is not easy to cultivate a full-time reader, it is necessary to relay from generation to generation, and a family is often the power of several generations to cultivate a reader. Then after the scholar became an official, he had to give back to his people, and if he didn't repay it, he would be ungrateful.

Said in college. Self-cultivation followed by family unity, family unity followed by national governance. The country is ruled and then the world is peaceful. This sentence represents the highest pursuit of a reader.

After a while, Zhang Haoyuan and Hou Zhongshu also arrived home, and everyone ate together. The two of them complained about the first interception question of today's county exam. Everyone went to bed early this night, and it must have been unbearable to get up so early yesterday. On the third day, the case was committed.

Lin Yanchao and the others went to the county government together to see the list.

At that moment, just like the results of the college entrance examination, everyone was in a state of apprehension.

The list has not yet been released. But the county government is already full of many scholars, and people who know each other are chatting with each other.

Huang Biyou also found Lin Yanchao and asked, "Yanchao, how did you do in the exam the day before yesterday?" ”

"It's fine. What about you? ”

Huang Biyou smiled and said, "Make do." Lin Yanchao said in his heart, this kid has learned to be obedient, and he knows how to leave room for speaking.

"Get out of the way. Get out of the way! ”

But seeing a group of people coming in line, and there were fierce servants on the left and right to open the way, it should have squeezed the crowd out of the way.

Lin Yanchao looked at the ya, and Zhou Zongcheng was included.

"Look at that majesty! Eh, isn't that surnamed Huang? Zhang Haoyuan pointed out.

Lin Yanchao and Hou Zhongshu both recognized that this person and Zhou Zongcheng were together when they were in Qiantang Town, and they also ridiculed them as countrymen.

"Ignore them, we'll just look at the list ourselves."

While speaking, the cannon sounded three times, the blower played music in the ticking, several officials roared away the candidates gathered next to the list, and then an envoy walked to the yamen and said loudly: "The county lord, yesterday the papers, check the county's style of study, the candidates only know the scriptures, but do not know the scriptures, sexuality, and holy teaching, so all the students on the list have to try again." Try one of the four books, one on filial piety, and one on the imperial system. ”

Hearing what the envoy said, the candidates present did not react much, and most of them had to participate in the second session, which is also known as the second session. The county magistrate did this, but it only made a few candidates who thought they could pass the government exam a little dissatisfied.

The scribes below took the big red list paper and posted it on the wall.

The paper of the county trial case is bowl-shaped, and it is taken within 50 people in the county test, and this piece of paper is called a group case.

In the middle of the group case, a big 'medium' word is written, which is skillfully written, a vertical up and down, and the prefix of the word "expensive" is obtained. There are two circles around the word "middle", the outer circle is 20 to 50, and the inner circle is the top 20.

If you are not in the group case, you can take the next exam if you are on the side list, and if the candidate on the group case does not do well in the second test, you can make up for the circle of the group case. The last candidate who is still on the group case, even if he passes the county exam, is allowed to participate in the prefectural exam.

Of course, if it is neither on the sub-list nor in the group case, it means that it has been eliminated, and it is called a circle and a number, so please come back next year.

All the candidates squeezed to the list of the group case to see, as we all know, the first game is the main field, the proportion is the largest, generally the first game can be on the group case, which also shows his strength, and the probability of getting out of the circle in the end is very small, if it can be listed in the top 20 in the inner circle, it would be better, then as long as you don't die, you will basically be sent to the house test.

At this moment, everyone was worried, those adults who were taller and stronger than Lin Yanchao all squeezed to the front, and their own strength was smaller, so they couldn't squeeze those people, so they had to retreat aside.

Can you see this a little earlier or later? If you get dirty and crumpled your clothes, you can't scratch them.

Lin Yanchao simply stepped back and found an open space to breathe, and at this time a voice came: "Yanchao, Yanchao, you are in the circle!" ”

Lin Yanchao's eyelids lifted, but when he saw Hou Zhongshu running over, his clothes were all wrinkled.

"That's it!" Lin Yanchao was already sure of his ranking, so he was not too surprised, but said to Hou Zhongshu, "You saw mine, what about your own?" ”

Hou Zhongshu said with a smile: "Anyway, it's not in the circle." ”

Lin Yanchao scolded: "What stupid, go!" Saying that, Lin Yanchao and Hou Zhongshu squeezed to the front of the sub-list together, the people here are much more relaxed, everyone is going to the group case, only if their name is not on the group case, they will come to the sub-list to see their name.

The names of six or seven hundred people on the sub-list, Lin Yanchao accompanied Hou Zhongshu to find them one by one.

"Zhongshu, you are on the sub-list, look at your name!" Lin Yanchao immediately pulled Hou Zhongshu over. Although it is on the sub-list, although the chance of passing the county exam is very small, it is also an encouragement for candidates, and it is not all hopeless.

Hou Zhongshu turned his head and saw his name, and immediately said happily: "Haha, I'm also on the sub-list." Zhang Guihe has always said that I am stupid, you see him, he is not in the circle, and he is on the sub-list like me. ”

Lin Yanchao looked at Zhang Guihe sullenly, standing in front of his name on the sub-list. And Zhang Songming, who is next to Zhang Guihe, is also Lin Yanchao's classmate, and he is crying silently at the moment, probably because his name is not on the sub-list in the circle.

Gradually, there were fewer scholars gathered in front of the group case, and more people gathered in front of the sub-list, and Lin Yanchao could finally get closer to see the true face of Lushan.

But in the inner circle in the middle of the group case, Lin Yanchao's name was listed. (To be continued......)
