As soon as he entered the county seat, Luo Xin was shocked to see a lot of various carts like them, ox carts, donkey carts, and horse-drawn carts carrying families into the city, of course, there were also many poor scholars, not even a scholar, who entered the city alone.

At this time, Luo Xin's house in the county town had been renovated, but it just needed to dry the smell, and Luo Xin's family didn't care about the smell at this time and lived in.

That night, Luo Ping set up a banquet at home to congratulate Luo Xin, and also put a whip. However, Luo Xin only ate a half full, Luo and his sister-in-law watched tightly, Luo Xin just wanted to clip a chicken leg, but his mother and sister-in-law stretched out chopsticks to press the chicken leg, Luo Xin had to take back the chopsticks with a bitter face.

Evening.

Under the service of Die'er and Chunhua, Luo Xin lay down on the bed early, looking at the back of Die'er and Chunhua walking out, Luo Xin couldn't help but say:

"Die'er, Chunhua, do you say that Son, am I bitter? After eating two meals in a row, I could only eat a few green vegetables and radish, and I ate one and a half full tons of each ton. ”

"Poof......

The two little girls couldn't help laughing, and said in a greasy voice: "Childe, this is all for your good!" In the past few days, waiting for you to finish the exam, what you want to eat is not close to you! ”

"Alas......"

Luo Xin sighed, touched his deflated stomach and closed his eyes.

Four and a half.

Luo Xin was woken up by the two maids, people who practice martial arts do not have the habit of lazy bed, but get up a little earlier than before, so Luo Xin finished washing under the service of Chunhua and Die'er, and when he put on his clothes, he was completely awake and energetic.

The ox cart was ready, and Lu Zhonglian drove it, with the larger bookcase that Song Tai had given to Luo Xin on it. Luo Xin did not ride a horse, but sat on the ox cart with Lu Daqing, looking at his parents and sister-in-law's red eyes. I know that they will probably get up at midnight and prepare things for themselves for the scientific expedition.

"Xin'er, don't be careless." Roche said softly.

Luo Xin nodded, and said with a smile on his face: "Mother, don't worry, Xin'er understands." ”

Luo Ping and his sister-in-law also kept admonishing. In the end, Luo Ping waved his hand and said, "Don't delay the time, miss Xin'er's scientific expedition." Zhonglian, be sure to send Xin'er to the examination room on time. ”

"Yes, sir!"

Under the eager gaze of his parents and sister-in-law, Lu Zhonglian drove Luo Xin and Lu Daqing away in a car.

Not long after I walked out, it was not yet dawn, but the streets were lively. The streets are full of candidates going to the examination room, as well as parents, relatives and friends who send off the candidates. There are also some small merchants and vendors who also get up early, and some idle people also come out to watch the excitement.

There was a lot of noise along the way, some of them were the kind advice of their parents, some were the blessings of relatives and friends, and some of them greeted each other loudly when they met the scholars who were going to take the exam together. Luo Xin also frequently greeted the scholars he met, almost all of those people knew Luo Xin, and Luo Xin also knew most of them. A small number of people also feel familiar, and those who know do not know. Luo Xin always called him senior brother, and he was the youngest among these candidates anyway.

Each candidate's expression is different, but most of the candidates' faces still reveal a hint of nervousness. Even some of the test takers had a slight tremor in their voices.

There are also candidates with flying expressions, giving people the feeling that passing the county test is like probing the bag. There are also some people who look calm, not happy or sad, and Luo Xin belongs to this category of people. With a calm smile on his face, he greeted the candidates he met. Then he sat there quietly, with a faint smile on his face, looking at everything that was happening around him.

At this moment, he seemed to jump out of this world and watch all this as a bystander.

"Is this the scene of Daming's scientific expedition?"

Until we reached the main street in front of the prefectural school. Luo Xincai broke away from this state of spectatorship, looked ahead, and found that the guards at this time were no longer servants, but soldiers. With solemn expressions, the soldiers stopped their parents, relatives and friends and did not allow them to proceed. Once here, only candidates with test badges are allowed to enter.

Luo Xin jumped off the ox cart vigorously, and Lu Daqing also jumped off the ox cart, took down the bookcase on the cart, and handed it to Luo Xin with both hands.

"Childe! I wish you success! ”

Luo Xin smiled, took the bookcase with one hand, turned to Lu Zhonglian and said, "Zhonglian, you go back." ”

"Childe, we'll be waiting for you outside." Lu Zhonglian hurriedly said.

Luo Xin nodded, knowing that this was a sign of loyalty by the two of them, so he didn't force them to leave, and walked inside with the bookcase. showed the test card, but he didn't expect that the soldier who tested his test card didn't look at the test card in Luo Xin's hand, but arched his hand towards Luo Xin and said:

"I wish Luo Gongzi success."

Luo Xin's expression was stunned: "Who is this eldest brother?" ”

The soldier smiled and said, "I once saw the heroic posture of Luo Gongzi charging into battle at the head of the city. ”

Luo Xin nodded to the soldier suddenly, and walked in with the bookcase.

Walking into the door, Luo Xin's face couldn't help but show surprise, and then he suddenly became surprised. This is the north, and there is no comparison with the south. The south was originally a rich land, and it attached great importance to reading, so although there were hundreds of people in each county who took the county examination, more than 1,000 people. But the county government can still erect sheds and arrange seats.

But the North is much worse, and even not comparable to the South. Fortunately, the more affluent counties can prepare seats in addition to building sheds. But some poor counties simply don't have the financial resources to do this, so it's good to be able to build sheds.

The candidates sat in unsheltered sheds on all sides, and the south was fine, after all, the air was warm, but in the north in February, it was still very cold. Sitting in a shed that is ventilated on all sides, it would be nice not to freeze.

If it catches up with the snow and then snows, it is to sit in the snow and answer the questionnaire, looking at a beautiful scenery, and experiencing it personally, but it is miserable.

There are even some poor counties whose financial resources can only build a shed, and there is no spare energy to prepare tables and chairs, so candidates who come to the scientific examination must solve the tables and chairs by themselves.

Of course, if you can't borrow a table or chair, you can borrow a board, even a cutting board, and as for a chair, you can move a stone or a few bricks to make up for it.

Originally, Yanglin County belonged to a poor fairy city, and in the past, a shed was built by the yamen, and the tables and chairs had to be solved by the candidates themselves. But this time Zhou Tingyu put in a lot of effort.

He turned the water of the martial struggle into the water of the cultural struggle, and he had already achieved the merit of education, and he defended the city when the Liukou was besieging the city, which was another achievement, so he was determined to do a good job in this scientific examination, perhaps this is the last time he presided over the county examination, if the county examination is successful again, there is a very high possibility of getting promoted.
