Chapter 61 County Exam
For a county town, the annual county examination is the top priority.
After the children were protected by the scholar's husband, they filed each other's documents and materials to the county government office, waiting for the county examination to come.
The county government also issued an announcement, listing candidates for this year's county examination.
The number of scholars admitted in each county is ten per year, and the number of applicants is usually as high as 200 to 300, and the competition is unimaginable.
The announcement lists personnel to understand the effects of knowing oneself and the enemy, and at the same time, they can also calculate their own pass rate this year. Therefore, when the yamen makes an announcement every year, a large number of scholars are watching.
Chen Guhong, Wang Song’s classmate, Qian Fei and Fei Yuan are the children of this year. The two made an appointment to watch the notice.
Both of them are in their twenties. If they fail the exam at most, they will give up their fame and fortune and seek a living. They are very concerned about the list of child students this year.
"There are only 180 people this year." Qian Fei looked at the list and said in surprise.
"And there are many new faces, some of whom are afraid they are only twelve or thirteen years old, and they are newborn calf. And we are already born with old children, with rich experience and a chance."
Fei Yuan also said in surprise.
The two couldn't help but feel happy. If they passed the exam, it would be great. Just as they were happy, Qian Fei suddenly caught a familiar name that would never appear on this list.
"Chen Guhong????!"
Qian Fei said in shock.
"How is it possible??? He was suppressed by the Wu family, and no one guaranteed him, and no one made a decision for him. The county magistrate also had to make things difficult for him. Anyone could appear on this list, but he could not. You must be dazzled." Fei Yuan smiled.
"Really, look at it."
Qian Fei spoke in a hurry.
"Impossible." Fei Yuan still shook his head, but carefully looked at the list and was immediately incredible. He kept saying: "Impossible, impossible."
Then a feeling of anxiety emerged.
The two of them did not get along with Chen Guhong at that time. First, they were forced to pressure from the Wu family, and second, they were probably not likely to become a scholar and were a person with no future.
And now this person who is destined to have no future appears on the list.
Although they still have to go through the exam before they will understand. But if Chen Guhong becomes a scholar and becomes a scholar's husband, even if they become scholar's husbands, it would be particularly embarrassing to meet in the future.
Moreover, if you have been in a decade, thirty years, Hedong and thirty years, you will not be allowed to ask for him in the future.
Qian Fei and Fei Yuan looked at each other, and their feelings of anxiety emerged in their hearts.
Wu Xiude is also uneasy. During these days, Wu Xiude has gone to the county government to meet Ma Zhong several times. As a result, he is always turned away, even if he sends people to deliver letters, he will go but never return.
If something goes wrong, there will be a demon. How can Wu Xiude be uneasy?
This day was the day when the notice was issued, so Wu Xiude sent his family slaves to check it out early, but Chen Guhong was on the list. Wu Xiude felt more and more uneasy and even more troublesome.
"I am friends with Ma Zhong. My Wu family has been prominent for hundreds of years and has more connections in the court. Why did Ma Zhong betray me?"
Wu Xiude remembered the bet with Chen Guhong that day and said, "If Chen Guhong really gets a scholar, then how can I have my face? Moreover, he is a powerful swordsman who killed Akun. Not only is he unable to protect his face, but he is afraid that even his life will be in danger."
Thinking of this, Wu Xiude couldn't sit still. He called his slaves to prepare sedan chairs and went out.
When he arrived at the county government office, Wu Xiude came forward in person and asked the concierge in a low voice. "Do you have time?"
After receiving Ma Zhong's order, the doorman said calmly: "Please apologize, Mr. Wu, the master is in charge of official duties and has no time to meet guests."
Wu Xiude was furious. Your little gatekeeper actually talked to me in this tone? But if you ask others, you have to bow your head. Wu Xiude took out an ingot of gold from his sleeve and handed it to the gatekeeper and said, "Please inform me."
The concierge was very jealous when he saw the ingot of gold, but he violated the order of the county magistrate and threw his job into jail. He might have to go to jail, so the concierge struggled for a while and refused calmly, "Mr. Wu is sorry, the young man will not accept bribes."
"Damn it!" Wu Xiude cursed in his heart, but when faced with such a doorman who was unable to enter the salt, he had no choice but to get into the sedan chair and go back to the Wu family.
"What should I do now?" Youdao is the feng shui turns, Wu Xiude sets up three killer moves, and Tianluo and Earth Net deals with Chen Guhong, which is a pride.
At this moment, I had no choice but toss and turn to bed when I got home.
In just ten days, Wu Xiude's face became dry and thin. His eyes were deeply sunken and covered with dark circles, so he was helpless.
In this case, the county examination began.
The sun is shining and the house is very lively. Regarding the future of the young master and the younger brother, Chen Xiuxiu and Yuanyuan got up early and had a sumptuous breakfast first.
He immediately prepared the four treasures of the study and put them in the exam basket. He was afraid that Chen Guhong would be hungry in the exam room, so he even prepared a few eggs.
After dinner, Yuanyuan tidied up Chen Guhong's clothes, and Chen Xiuxiu couldn't help but cheer him up, "Don't be nervous, it's okay if you don't pass the exam. At worst, you can go and sell food with your brother-in-law."
However, at that time, Chen Guhong got Kun's money and land, and did not tell Chen Xiuxiu that money and external things were particularly despised. At that time, Chen Xiuxiu and Wang Zhengdang were injured, so Chen Guhong forgot.
Later, I thought that when I passed the exam, I would give my sister a surprise together. Therefore, Chen Xiucai said this.
The family’s concern was warm. Chen Guhong was not impatient, smiled and said, “I know, don’t worry, sister, I won’t be nervous.”
After hearing Chen Guhong's words, Chen Xiuxiu immediately smiled.
After a few tireless advice, Chen Guhong went out and Yuanyuan kept the exam and followed Chen Guhong step by step.
County examinations are a major event, and there are special examination rooms.
When I arrived at the entrance of the examination room, there were crowds of people.
"Gu Hong." Wang Song arrived earlier, following three slaves and a maid, who was very stylish. When he saw Chen Gu Hong, he smiled and shouted.
"Brother Wang." Chen Guhong went forward and said hello.
At the same time, Ma Nong, Ma Geng's little brothers, and Ma Zhengde all greeted Chen Guhong. Of course, many classmates were indispensable.
When the classmates saw Chen Guhong, they were extremely embarrassed. They had their eyes dodged, their faces were flushed, and they were very embarrassed. Chen Guhong was calm, and of course they did not get warm, just nodded to say hello.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
Not long after, the sound of gongs rang out. The closed door of the county examination room was opened, and a yamen runner walked out of the inside and greeted the candidates to enter.
