"Sure enough, it's exactly what I thought!" Lin Yanchao nodded slightly.

There is Lin Yanchao's name listed above the inner circle, indicating that Lin Yanchao is ranked among the twenty in the first county test. Although he is not very good at writing poems in five words and eight rhymes, with two essays, it is enough to send himself to the April government test.

And if you have been among the top 20, it is very likely that you will be promoted in the next government exam. The so-called hall number is that the test paper should be stamped with the word "hall" during the government examination, and the examination room is located in the lobby. This is called a titang.

Sitting near the examiner, so as to obtain a more rigorous supervision, not only eliminates the possibility of cheating, but also gets the examiner to interview in the classroom. In this way, on the one hand, people who do not have real talent and real learning have nothing to hide, and on the other hand, it also makes the scholars who are really talented and learned get further attention from the chief examiner, so that the probability of being selected is greater.

Mention the hall number, it seems to be in the top ten of the county exam, I don't know if I remember if it's wrong.

Lin Yanchao looked at the names of a few more people, Zhou Zongcheng was actually in the group case, but it was in the outer circle, and Huang Biyou was also on the list, it seems that this year, he has really worked hard.

After Lin Yanchao finished reading the results, he flicked his sleeves lightly, where is Zhou Zongcheng, and where is the scholar surnamed Zhao who ridiculed him in the restaurant at the beginning, I am waiting to slap you in the face, fainted, the villain did not appear, which makes me feel very unaccomplished!

What about people? What about people?

The villain didn't appear, but Zhang Haoyuan came, and he was also on the sub-list, so he came over and said with a smile: "Come, Yanchao, let's go and celebrate." ”

"Wait, I'm going to find my cousin, where's my cousin?"

Lin Yanchao searched for a long time, but did not find Lin Yanshou's shadow.

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but say: "No." It's a mess. How do I explain this to my uncle and grandfather? ”

Zhang Haoyuan and Hou Zhongshu said: "Yanchao, let's go separately to find it." ”

Huang Biyou on the side also came over and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Cousin Yanchao is gone, you can help find it!"

Huang Biyou is now listed in the group case, and his momentum is also different: "Young people can't withstand the blow, and it is inevitable that the gap is too big." You can rest assured. In the future, you will get used to it after smashing it a few more times. ”

"Get used to Nima?" The three of them all scolded, "Don't you help find it?" ”

Huang Biyou said with a broken mouth: "Why don't I go to the river to look for it?" ”

All three of them scolded, "you." ”

So several people also invited Zhang Guihe, Zhang Songming looked for it together, Zhang Guihe took the sub-list, and he didn't speak or move there. Although Zhang Songming doesn't even have a deputy list, he is also helping to find someone.

Everyone went around the county government and screamed that they had their throats cut, but they didn't find anyone.

Lin Yanchao said: "It's miserable. I knew that I was keeping an eye on my cousin before the list was released. ”

Hou Zhongshu and Zhang Haoyuan said on the side: "I don't think your cousin wants to be the kind of person who can't think about it." ”

"Who knew he was young and variable, young man." Huang Biyou said coldly.

At that moment, Lin Yanchao walked home nervously and encountered shallowness. Lin Qianqian pounced on him and asked, "Brother Chao, how did you do in the exam?" Is there any? ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Yes, but I have to take four more exams." ”

When Lin Qianqian heard the joy in his eyes, he couldn't hide it. But he still tried to educate people and said: "But it's only past the first scene, don't be proud." Full of losses, humble benefits, do you know? Did you listen to me? Hum! ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "I understand, I understand." Is Life Extension back? ”

"It's back, pull!"

The four of them said together: "Huh? ”

"What about others?"

"As soon as he came back, he threw the door and hid in the house, no matter how much the aunt called him, he shouldn't be called."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Would you like to be comforted?" Huang Biyou asked.

Lin Yanchao waved his hand and said, "No need." I think he should want to be quiet. ”

"Yes, young people always have to go through a little wind and rain, so that they can grow up." Huang Biyou said leisurely.

Lin Yanchao looked at Huang Biyou and asked, "Brother Huang, how do you feel that before and after you release the list, it seems that you have changed someone." ”

Huang Biyou smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Lin." See laugh, see laugh. This is just the first game, we don't dare to say foolproof, even if Brother Ling has been found, I will go back to Wenshu, and there will be the next one tomorrow, farewell! ”

At that moment, Huang Biyou arched his hand and left.

After a day of rest, the second session of the county test, also known as the first reply.

At the beginning, more than 3,000 candidates from various townships and villages who came to Houguan County to take the county examination have dispersed after the case was discovered yesterday, and they have all embarked on their own journey. By the time of this one, there were only six or seven hundred candidates left, which was not the same as the scene in front of the first examination booth.

Four out of five in a game is a terrible elimination rate. And the whole county test is 50 out of 3,000.

As a provincial-level first-class standard school, no, it is a standard academy, Lianjiang Academy still performs well, and only one of the five disciples who participated in the Houguan County Examination was eliminated. In addition to Lin Yanchao and Huang Biyou, there are two disciples who don't know each other, who were also shortlisted.

The position of entering the examination room was also adjusted, and Lin Yanchao and other fifty scholars of the regimental case were arranged to take the exam in front of the public court, directly under the nose of the county magistrate and the county school.

But what about the sitting exam, the first four-book question, Lin Yanchao continued to do his great cause of copying the text, as for the theory of filial piety, but an excerpt from the Book of Filial Piety, let the candidates make an argumentative essay.

This exam is more casual, there is no fixed format for discussion, it is all up to you to play, don't write too outrageously.

The last imperial edict, also known as the Ming Dynasty, is the Ming Dynasty's complete set of laws. Every month, the villagers will be in the township to explain to the people the imperial edict, the great Ming law, to reduce the existence of legal blindness, and as a scholar, it is necessary to memorize the imperial edict. Endorsement may be a problem for others, but it has never been a problem for Lin Yanchao. In the reply, the candidates were asked to choose a paragraph of the imperial edict and write five or six hundred words silently, and Lin Yanchao finished it without thinking. After the three questions are completed, there is no difficulty at all.

On the third day, after the list was released, Lin Yanchao's ranking was still in the inner circle of the group case, within the top 20, which was very stable. The people in the inner circle are also firmly immovable, and the ranking of the outer circle has only changed by one person. As for the sub-list, it is not so good-looking, this time there are only more than 300 people left from more than 700 people. Hou Zhongshu was brushed down, Zhang Haoyuan, and Zhang Guihe were barely listed.

At this moment, in the second hall of Houguan County, Zhou Zhixian was sitting and reading the papers, and Master Shen handed him tea to Zhou Zhixian and said with a smile: "Dong Weng, after two more hard work, you can release the list." ”

Zhou Zhixian put down the papers, took a sip of tea and said: "What's the hard work, the official still thinks that the county exam is not enough." ”

Master Shen smiled, the county test is the first pass for the imperial court, and it is in the hands of the county. Although there is a county school to supervise the teaching, where the teachings are in charge of the affairs of the county, the likes and dislikes are all decided by Zhou Zhixian alone.

Of course, Zhou Zhixian, as a cool official, will certainly not miss this opportunity and hold this power in his hands.

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhixian said: "Of course, the official is not playing with power, the county examination is ultimately a national talent ceremony, if the official is selected to do so, the government examination and the hospital test will not perform well, and the official will not be able to escape the blame." But what do you look at these candidates? ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhixian took an article and said: "This official originally wanted to scold after reading the first article of this person, but after hearing so many people say that he is good, he is still one of the five sons of the Hou Guan, so the official is patient again, and he reads a few more articles, and he really wants to say a good fart." ”

Master Shen couldn't help but be handsome, and said slowly: "Dong Weng still asks for anger, the jade is not a weapon." Dong Weng repaired the Jiadeng seawall back then, and this person's relatives donated five hundred taels of silver. ”

Zhou Zhixian said: "I know, otherwise I would have thrown his roll over a long time ago, and let him sit on the red chair at that time." As for those who have real talent and real learning, they still have to be placed in the first few. ”

The last place in the county examination is commonly known as the red chair, because a red cut-off symbol is drawn behind its name, which resembles the seat and back of the chair.

When Master Shen was talking to Zhou Zhixian, at this time, a servant came up and whispered a few words in Master Shen's ear.

Master Shen listened a little solemnly, and immediately said to Zhou Zhixian: "Dong Weng, this time there are rumors among the county test candidates. ”

Zhou Zhixian frowned when he heard this: "Let's hear it." ”

Under the publicity, the book friends 164548046 the group, and there are empty seats all over the ground. (To be continued......)
