Coming on a horse and stopping at close range gives people a very strong sense of oppression.

The horses of these two people rushed straight to the place where Xu Wen was very close, and even Xu Wen was nervous in his heart, and several apprentices screamed in fright and ran around in a panic.

"Hahahaha!" immediately the two men laughed together, and at the same time they stopped their horses and glanced at them condescendingly, and one of them said, "Where did the man come from, he actually wants to live in the stable!"

These apprentices of the old Kiba didn't have any feelings about this matter, but for some reason, when they heard his words, their faces were a little hot. "Hey, don't you have any money, otherwise it's better to go out and find a house to rent for a few days than to live here!"

His words seemed friendly and suggestive, but the playful expression on his face made it clear that he was just watching a good show.

"By the way, the apprentices tried to arrange accommodation, how could you be stuffed into the stable?"

"Oh, I've heard that some people don't actually have that qualification, and they are stuffed into private relationships. The room that is eligible to live is gone, of course, I can only live in the stable!"

Xu San and others are all scared, and Zhou Zhicheng is not very good at dealing with this kind of scene. At this time, Xu Wen raised his head and said with a slight smile: "The elder has a gift, but I haven't graduated yet, so I take my duty and don't dare to take it lightly." ”

"What's your duty, isn't it just poor and sour and have no money?" one of the two didn't hear the bones in Xu's question, and laughed and mocked.

"Are you two here to take the apprenticeship test too?" asked Xu Wen, looking at them and judging their age.

"Forty first-class and second-class apprentices from Dongdu Muxuan should be tested by the apprentice county!"

Forty places, that's a third-level workshop, no wonder it's so arrogant.

"Well, when I came to take the exam, it turned out that I was also an apprentice. I don't know, as an apprentice, can I point fingers at other people's teachers?"

Xu Wen smiled and asked coldly.

The apprentice craftsman has no income, and the cost of the apprenticeship test is paid by the master. To say that they are so poor that they can only live in a stable is to mock their master. Either you don't have the ability and no money, or you are stingy and don't give money.

Looking at the age and dress of the two of them, they are also apprentices, so talking about other people's masters, in this strict environment, even their masters, will scold them as dogs when they hear it.

After all, the two men did not dare to challenge this environment, they were so angry that one of them raised his horsewhip and pointed at Xu and asked, "Where are you?"

"Yao's Wooden Workshop in Yaojia Village. Xu Wen replied calmly.

Zhou Zhicheng wanted to speak on the side, probably thinking that this kind of thing could not be hidden, so he finally closed his mouth.

"Yao's Mufang?" the two of them said in unison, raising their voices at the same time.

The two glanced at each other and sneered: "Is there a few places added to the fifth-level wooden workshop through the back door?

They turned around with their horses, got back on their horses and walked away—they didn't want to leave their horses here.

"What do they mean?" the two behaved strangely in the end, and Xu San asked a little nervously.

"Do you look down on us?" Lu Cheng said indignantly.

Zhou Zhicheng and Master Feng glanced at each other, and their expressions were a little worried.

"Don't worry about it so much, let's take care of tomorrow's exams first. Finally, Zhou Zhicheng said hello, and the apprentices picked up their tools again and cleaned the stable.

Xu Wen followed to work, he turned his eyes and saw two people in cyan robes turning to leave, and he didn't know how long he had been standing here and how much he had seen.

The horse shed is a place to come and go, and the news that the candidates live here spread quickly, and the fact that they are the back door of the fifth-level wooden workshop also spread quickly. Almost everyone who came here would look at them with mockery and exchange a few words.

Lu Cheng was very uncomfortable, and he had nowhere to hold back his words, so he could only complain to Xu Wen: "If you can't pass the test, you will lose the adult!"

"Then I passed the test. Xu Wen said simply and calmly.

"How can it be so easy......" Lu Cheng muttered quietly, gritted his teeth, took the wood he brought over, and practiced alone.

Not only him, but all the apprentices of the old woodyard were the same.

They were silent, all of them working hard to catch the time to review. They seem to have forgotten the pocket money that Azure gave them, and they don't have the slightest intention of going out for entertainment.

They must still be apprehensive in their hearts, but their thoughts are all very simple.

This opportunity is so rare that it may never happen again. They have to hold on to it!

In contrast, Xu Wen is inconspicuous among them.

No one noticed that the paulownia wood was gradually changing into a new shape in his hand. It's a strange shape that's hard to describe, and it has a unique beauty, one that all carpenters are drawn to if they notice it.

Although I stayed in the stable this night, it was not uncomfortable.

The apprentices of Yao's Wooden Workshop worked together to clean the place, and all the horse grass was replaced with fresh ones.

Therefore, the stables did not stink, and the horses were quiet all night, and the young men rested and slept soundly according to their usual habits.

Early the next morning, they woke up one after another, and Zhou Zhicheng had already made water and put it outside the shed.

"Today is a good day for you, no matter what the result is, work hard!

Zhou Zhicheng looked around at them, his expression was quite emotional.

These twenty-one places are all recorded in the name of Yao's Mufang, which can be regarded as their Mufang taking advantage of this.

When he finished washing and eating dry food, Xu San secretly stuffed half a piece of cake for Xu Wen.

"This piece is soft and you eat. Xu San whispered.

"Eat your fill, I've passed the test today and show those guys!" Xu San took the other half of the hard cake in his hand and said as he nibbled on it.

“...... Hmm!" It's rare that a good old man also has a temper, Xu Wen nodded.

After eating, someone happened to call. They lined up like yesterday, followed the people out of the mansion and came to the outside of the Yushui County Ya.

It was already full of people, and the little officer who brought them led them to stand behind them, and said, "When your names are called, go up and get the number plates." ”

"Yes, yes. Zhou Zhicheng hurriedly agreed, and stuffed another ingot of broken silver.

Today's attitude is obviously better than tomorrow's, he pinched the silver in his hand, and told them two more sentences by the way: "All the apprentice county exams must be painted behind closed doors, and the work should be done cleanly, and the examiner looks beautiful and has a good impression." ”

This is a sincere word, Zhou Zhicheng hurriedly thanked him, and turned his head to see that they were confused.

"What, what do you mean by being closed, stammering your name?" Xu San began to nervous again, stammering and asking.

"Closing the door means that the examination room is a small room, and all your work must be done in the room, and you cannot see each other. Painted names mean that there will be no names on your work, only numbers on the number plates. At that time, the examiner will not know who did the work, but can only score what you have made. This adult is right, no matter whether the work is done well or not, it should be done cleanly. The examiner will give more points when he looks at the good mood. ”

Zhou Zhicheng explained very patiently and in detail, and he had participated in the apprenticeship test as soon as he heard it.

With his status in Yao's Wooden Workshop, he did his best to take care of them along the way, and there was no time for slacking off at all. The longer you spend with him, the clearer you will be able to understand what kind of good person he is.

Such a person, the one named Qi Kun, actually cut off his fingers and completely ruined his future......

Xu Wen also had a faint anger in his heart.

"Look, the horse shed. Stay away from them, don't get the stench. Someone next to him said with a grin. It's not loud, but it's clear here.

Everyone in Yao's Mufang didn't squint, even Lu Cheng.

"Yue Mu Xuan's is here!"

"What, it's Qi Kun! Does he want to refer to it this year?"

"Isn't that another slot?"

The crowd in front of them was suddenly in an uproar, and not far behind Xu Wen, a carriage slowly stopped, and the curtain was lifted.

Qi Kun?

When Xu Wen heard this name, he subconsciously looked at Zhou Zhicheng and clearly saw that his face turned pale instantly.

Is it really that person?

Xu Wen looked in the direction of the carriage.
