After another farce in the Zhang family, the county test of the boy test finally arrived as scheduled.

The court attached great importance to the test for the boy. Su Qing, the Zhili academician, visited Yangzhou in person. The eight counties of Yangzhou set up examination rooms. The examination rooms were strictly guarded inside and outside. Not only did the county's yamen runners come out in full swing, but the imperial garrison in Yangzhou also sent troops to help maintain order.

Early in the morning, before dawn, Lu Zheng left the door, and the shadow followed him, holding a bamboo basket in his hand, which contained all the necessary items for the examination room.

The master and servant just walked to the crossroads and couldn't move. The candidates who came to refer to the exam, the parents who came to take the exam, and the survivors who came to serve as insurance were crowded with the streets.

Everyone treated everyone equally and had to line up for strict inspections. Guanshan Academy had no relationship with the teachers and students of the academy. The day before, it was taken over by the invigilator and the yamen runners. Today, the academician is in Yangzhou. How dare the people below be negligent?

Those who wanted to leave the privileged ones, who were almost the same as Lu Zheng, rushed to the examination room together were Tian Zepeng, Zhang Tang, Zhang Zhen, Shu Yuan and others.

Today, Zhang Chengxi was one of the invigilators. Zhang Tang stepped forward and wanted to go to the lineup. The guards picked up the soldiers and soldiers, just like carrying a chicken.

Wu Fu happened to see this scene and said, "The rules are set by the court. Whoever dares to violate them is against the court. Students who dare to despise the laws of the court will be invited to leave the examination room!"

When Wu Fu said this, Zhang Tang was so scared that he lost his soul.

And the soldier who threw him turned his head and saw Lu Zheng at first sight. He was slightly stunned and said respectfully:

"Young Master Lu, please come and go here!"

Lu Zheng was originally in the back of the line, but was directly led to the front by this soldier. In the crowd, Tian Zetoto couldn't bear it anymore.

He stood up and shouted: "We protest. Since the rules were set by the court, why can Lu Zheng violate the rules?"

Wu Fu snorted coldly and said, "Has Lu Zheng violated the rules? He has a special identity and is a well-known talented man in Xinhe County. How did he violate the rules?"

"Uh..." Tian Zepeng's face turned red and he was speechless for a moment.

The students lined up in front turned their heads to look at Tian Zepeng, and their faces showed contempt.

"What's the matter? Does anyone with the surname Tian think he can be different from others? He is a dream. How could Mr. Lu compare with him? With his talent, he doesn't deserve to carry shoes to Mr. Lu!"

"It's really not a thing! Didn't you just rely on your relationship with the Zhang family? You really think that you are a character. Those who rely on women's nepotism to gain prominence dare to compete with Mr. Lu?"

Everyone said something, and I said something, and everyone said nothing, and directly caused huge damage to Tian Zepeng.

As hurt as he was also Zhang Chengxi, who was also an invigilator, was proud until yesterday. As soon as the exam started today, he found that he felt that he had the so-called complete control of the situation, which was a complete illusion.

Wu Fu was the main responsibility in the examination room. He was just assisting Wu Fu in his work, so he couldn't speak at this moment. Look at the inside and outside the examination room, none of the yamen runners were his own. Lord Nie avoided suspicion and left Zhang Chengxi speechless.

Now, outside the examination room, the Zhang family's children were so humiliated. He stood beside Wu Fu and didn't dare to let go of a single fart. He could imagine how frustrated he felt.

No matter what, the boy's test started. After three days of the county test, food and accommodation were all in the examination room. Ying'er handed the basket to Lu Zheng and stood there for a long time and was unwilling to leave.

She watched Lu Zheng enter the examination room. At the last moment, Lu Zheng suddenly turned around and smiled at her. Ying'er was slightly stunned, and a bright red appeared on her face.

She suddenly thought in her heart that the young master would definitely be able to go to high school this time. As soon as this thought came, she thought of all the things that Lu Zheng had experienced since he came to the Zhang family.

Lu Zheng has experienced so many things, but none of them have failed. This time, the boy trial is of great significance to Lu Zheng, so how could he fail?

In Ying'er's heart, Lu Zheng was almost omnipotent. She still remembered that Lu Zheng first learned classics from her, but now Lu Zheng has become a well-known talent in Yangzhou. His poems can be read by three-year-old children in Yangzhou. How can Ying'er's talent be compared with Lu Zheng?

Ying'er stood at the door, watching the students coming in one after another, her thoughts were flying and she was fascinated for a moment.

"Looking at so many students, the young master is the most unique. Except for the Zhang family's hostility to the young master, all the other students respect the young master extremely. In their hearts, the young master is the pride of Xinhe County!"

Ying'er clenched her fists hard, and her heart was filled with great confidence!

Today, February 2nd, the dragon raised its head and the Yangzhou boy exam officially started!

...

When Zhang Chengxi returned to the Zhang family, he was in a bad mood. Mrs. Su said that the old lady was sick. His heart sank and immediately thought of what happened the day before yesterday. After that, can the old lady not be sick?

Seeing that her husband was in a bad mood, Mrs. Su obediently presented tea to Zhang Chengxi and said, "Chengxi, how about it in the exam today?"

Zhang Chengxi shook his head gently and said, "Just that's it, there's nothing more to say!"

Mrs. Su said: "In fact, Chengxi, all the root causes of this tragedy lies in the boy named Lu! The old lady's illness is because of him, and the brothers in her family are angry because of him, and even your unhappiness is because of him.

Youdao is that money can make the devil push the mill. Can the Zhang family spend so much money for a boy to try, and can't they suppress this boy named Lu?"

Mrs. Su paused and said, "Chengxi, the county exam is now an opportunity. When you are in the examination room, the others are all soldiers and yamen runners. Can't you use your brain?"

"Ah..." Zhang Chengxi was suddenly shocked and said, "Do you know that the fraud in scientific research will cause a loss of head according to the Dakang Law?"

Mrs. Su snorted and said, "Don't say it so scary. Besides, are you cheating? You're just changing a paper, who knows? There are only two or three people involved, all of whom have received money and have not recommended mediocre talents to the court. How could anyone know?"

Zhang Chengxi stood up from the chair, and his hair stood up all over his body. Mrs. Su really woke up the dreamer with one word!

He and Wu Fu were in charge of the county examination room, and he was staring in the examination room. As long as he got one person, he could replace Lu Zheng’s test. Moreover, this person was either someone else, or the yamen runner in the county yamen, whose name was Ding Sifang.

Zhang Chengxi happened to know Ding Sifang and knew that his mother was sick in bed. Every month, his salary was not only to raise his wife and children, but also to bear the mother's medicine expenses.

But this guy didn't learn well and was very tempted to bet. He already owed nearly 100 taels of silver to gambling debts. He only found out about this when he heard the yamen runners chatting in the county government.

People who like gambling have a lucky mentality, and Ding Sifang happens to be short of money. Isn’t this all very simple?

Zhang Chengxi quickly made up his mind and immediately said, "Let's go see your mother together!"

The Zhang family's ancestors have a high status. Once the ancestors are in good health, the whole family will not be at peace. Today, Hua Hanjun, Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Lin and others are all here.

The old lady slept in the warm chalet, with a cotton towel wrapped around her head, and her face looked very ugly. Zhang Chengxi and his wife came in to pay their respects to her. The old lady stared at Zhang Chengxi and said:

"What? You are not staying in your position, why are you back?"

Zhang Chengxi said: "I heard that my mother is ill, so I rushed back to take a look. Also, the child reported to her mother about something. She is very serious and she dared not make decisions without authorization. She still needs her mother to decide!"

"Um!"

Zhang's mother nodded slightly, Zhang Chengxi stood up and said, "Okay, no one is involved, I'll go out, I'll talk to my mother!"

Just at this moment, Hua Hanjun stepped in. She held a plate in her hand, and a jar of ginseng soup was placed in the plate, and said, "Old ancestor, even if it is a big deal, you should drink a few sips of the soup first, otherwise if you don't get the rice like this, where are we..."

Hua Hanjun was halfway through the words. When she saw the eyes of her ancestor, she was stunned for a moment, and the ancestor waved her hand and said:

"Hanjun, let it go first, go out!"

Everyone was out, and Zhang Chengxi came to Zhang's mother and whispered. He said for a long time. Zhang's mother's eyes flashed with her, and she said, "Are you absolutely sure?"

Zhang Chengxi raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, Mother, this matter is foolproof, there will be no problem!"

Zhang's mother concentrated for a long time, and the brilliance in her eyes became even sharper. She nodded and said, "Okay, it's accurate! Go and do it now!"

Zhang Chengxi took the order and left, and immediately went to the examination room. Ding Sifang happened to change to rest. Zhang Chengxi took advantage of 1,000 taels of silver. Then the two of them talked for a few words, and Ding Si was completely dealt with by Zhang Chengxi.

At the same time, good news came from the Zhang family. Zhang's mother's illness was cured. Not only did she start eating, she also proposed to go out for a trip in the suburbs. She also asked Hua Hanjun to grant twenty taels of silver to Qingxu Temple in Yushan to send it up the mountain.

At this time, in the exam room, Lu Zheng was struggling to endure the unbearable smell of the stench in the exam room.

He finally experienced the imperial examination in person. It was really cruel and unbearable. Each person had a number, and the size of the number was about the size of a train sleeper. He could only eat, drink, defecate and urinate in this small space.

As long as you leave this small space and look around, it is considered a fraud, and the fraud is strictly arrested. As long as you find the fraud, you will be disqualified on the spot. There is still a case where you are not allowed to take the exam within three years.

Just stay in this small space for three days, don’t think about washing up in these three days. Moreover, there are many candidates, all kinds of food, excrement, and smells on their bodies are intertwined and mixed together. The smell is really undesirable.

Fortunately, Lu Zheng's answers were all smooth, and the three days were not too long. After enduring for three days, the county examination was over, and the next step was to wait for the results to be released.
Chapter completed!
