The four days of waiting for the release of the list seemed to pass uneventfully.

It's a good start for the noodle shop owner, and the brothers and sisters of the class have been working every day these days.

Xu Wen didn't go with them, he went to several relatively large carpentry shops to observe the masterpieces of famous craftsmen during the day, and told some of his experience to his brothers and sisters at night.

After the brothers and sisters had slept, he sat alone on the eaves, watching the moon and sorting out his thoughts.

An apprenticeship test, and the exchange with Lu Qingyuan, made him have some doubts and some different ideas.

Four days later, the apprentice test county test list was released.

Early in the morning, countless people poured towards the gate of the county office, most of them wearing the short clothes of craftsmen, but some special differences could be seen due to the different categories.

For craftsmen, the 100-work test, even the apprenticeship test, is a great event.

In the past, their class was only higher than that of merchants, and they belonged to the real bottom of society.

Now, they can move up to their own class through the 100 labor test, which is a huge leap.

Therefore, even small workshops or family workshops that did not participate in the 100-industry test are very concerned about the results.

The results of the county examination are posted at the entrance of the county government and publicized to everyone with a yellow list.

Along the way, many people are hotly discussing the results of this county test, and one of the most concerned is the county head that ranks first.

"This year, the young master Qi of Yuemuxuan also participated in the test, needless to say, the head of the county must be his. ”

"Hey, no, didn't he take the exam last year?"

"You're too far behind, he suddenly fell ill before the exam last year and quit, and he recuperated for a year. Before the exam started this year, I was still wondering if he would participate. ”

"Oh...... Needless to say, the head of the county must be his. ”

"Yes, yes, I think so too!"

Xu asked them to set off from Lu Mansion early in the morning and go to see the list together. Along the way, there was a lot of talk like this all around.

When Xu Wen heard Qi Kun's name, he couldn't help but glance at Zhou Zhicheng again - as a senior brother, he would definitely want to be together with this kind of big event.

Compared with before, Zhou Zhicheng's expression has not changed, and after the past few days, he seems to have looked down on his past a lot.

Not only that, but he is also telling some of his experiences to these brothers and sisters.

"After reading the list in a while, I will go back quickly, I reported your current residence before, if you pass the exam, someone will send the happy list. I have prepared a reward for you, and if someone wins the list, you will be rewarded, don't be stingy, it's also a celebration. ”

He babbled and said, and the brothers and sisters guessed excitedly: "I don't know how many we can pass the test." ”

"Xu Wen must be fine!" Qian Ming said with certainty, very confident.

"Needless to say, how many of us?" everyone said with a grin, not very serious.

The apprentice county did not take one out of ten woodworking classes, and in the end only thirty people were selected, so many third-level and fourth-level workshops in front, how could it be their turn to have a fifth-level workshop?

After all, they are still country children, they have never seen the world, and the fact that the number of workshops at all levels is different is enough to scare them, and they don't believe that they can really be much better than others.

But I have to say that they have been working for the past few days, and after they have finished it, the boss praised them for their fine and beautiful work, which is a huge incentive for them, and now they can talk about the exam results calmly.

A group of people happily came to the gate of the county office, and when they arrived nearby, they heard a loud noise.

The bottom of the yellow list was crowded, and countless people were looking up, and from time to time there were exclamations from there. From a distance, I can only see the word "list" at the front, and I can't see any of the dense lists at the back.

Lu Cheng tried to squeeze in, but he didn't squeeze in, and said with a sad face: "How can you go over and see this?"

In this case, Xu Wen couldn't help it.

At this moment, a little man with a thief's eyebrows and rat eyes came up to them, looked at them, and asked, "Do you want to see the list?" I have all the names on the list here, and one copy of ten coppers, do you want it?"

At the same time, he showed a scroll of paper, which quickly opened and closed, and sure enough, it was full of names.

Pretty business-minded......

The brothers of the class looked at each other, they looked up at the direction of the list, and there were people coming from all over Yushui County, the circle was getting bigger and bigger, and those inside couldn't get out, and those outside couldn't get in. Looking at it like this, you can't squeeze in at all.

Fortunately, they have been taking jobs recently, and although they are much cheaper than ordinary craftsmen, they still have a lot of money to accumulate.

Xu Sancai said arrogantly: "Ten copper plates, let's have one!"

One hand handed over the money and the other hand delivered, and after a while, the roll of paper was handed over to them, and at the same time, Xu Sansao and several people each took out a few copper plates, and made up ten for the little man.

The little man received the money and turned around and left, without stopping at all, Xu Wen had a little foreboding when he saw this.

Several people glanced at each other, Xu Wen opened the paper scroll, and when he saw it, he couldn't cry or laugh: "What is this writing......"

Xu San and Lu Cheng also came up to see, Xu San turned his head with a "hey" and wanted to catch the kid, but the sea of people was vast, and the little man didn't enter the sea of people, and he had already disappeared.

"We'll see. Xu Wen said with a wry smile.

Honestly, this list is not fake, and the little man is not a fool of them.

But the problem is that he is illiterate at all, and he purely draws a scoop according to the gourd on the list.

The "words" on the paper roll are crooked, like insects crawling, and it is difficult to recognize.

Xu San was indignant, but now there was nothing he could do. But think about it, he was like this a year ago, his eyes were black at the words, and he didn't even know what the strokes were, let alone read and write.

He shook his head and leaned over to Xu Wen, his head in a circle carefully identifying the words on the paper.

The first thing is the first name of the apprentice test county test, ranking first, and this is the most conspicuous. Xu Wen's eyes were also focused on this place.

The crooked strokes are lined and circled, and there are messy ink spots because the brush is not held steadily. But those two words are not complicated, and the little man is more serious when tracing them.

Therefore, the brothers and sisters of the class quickly recognized these two words, and at the same time opened their mouths wide, unable to speak for a long time.

The head of this year's apprenticeship test county test turned out to be-

They all looked at Xu Wen in unison, with surprise and joy on their faces, Xu Sanyi grabbed Xu Wen's shoulder and said, "You-"

Before the words could be spoken, a more noisy voice was suddenly heard at the entrance of the county office.

They subconsciously turned around and found that the vermilion gate of the county government was open, two horses galloped out of the door wearing red and color, and two small officials wearing red flowers rode on their horses and shouted: "Release the list-"

"The apprentice tried to test the first name in Shui County, and said that the head of the matter in Shui County is also, and it is Xu Jia/Tun people in Shui County!"

The two little officials were very angry, and their voices were extremely loud, and this announcement passed through all the noise and resounded in everyone's heads!

The prefectural examination is the most elementary examination, and not all successful candidates will receive such announcements and notices, but there is undoubtedly the head of the prefectural body as the first place.

After the exam, Zhou Zhicheng reported the residence of twenty-one of them to the county government, and the two officials finished singing in unison, and at the same time, they were about to go in the direction of Lu Zhai.

"Here, here!

At this time, Lu Cheng suddenly waved his hand excitedly, and the other junior brothers of the class also came back to their senses, completely ignoring the rules, and shouted together: "Xu Wen is here!"

Their voices were also loud, and the little officer heard them, and looked this way at the same time.

Then they turned their horses' heads and ran in this direction!
