Lin Mo and the three of them returned to the restaurant and saw that the guys were constantly busy, "Lin Mo, the business of your restaurant is so good, it really surprised me." ”

"Haha, Miss Tuo's second miss, a small business, not as big as the Ma family's big business." Lin Mo laughed.

At this time, Liu Xin'er was helping Sister-in-law Zhao collect money and keep accounts on the counter, and when she saw Lin Mo and Ma Ruoya coming over together, her face was happy, but when she saw Cui'er next to Ma Ruoyan, her face changed, and her eyes showed a complicated look. Ma Ruoya saw that a young man on the counter was settling accounts, and his face was a little familiar.

"Huh? This guy is very familiar, why didn't you see him when I came here before? By the way, Xin'er? Ma Ruoyan asked suspiciously.

Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Xin Er came over and met Second Miss." ”

"Xinji?" Ma Ruoya looked at Liu Xin'er suspiciously.

"I've seen the second miss," Liu Xin'er hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully.

"You're Xin'er?"

Ma Ruoya took a closer look and immediately found the clue, and then Liu Xin'er smiled and said, "Second Miss admitted that she was wrong, I am Xin Er." Ma Ruoya immediately reflected, "Yes, yes, Xin Er, you are Xin Er." ”

A few people came to the back room, and Ma Ruoya carefully got up, "I have to say, you wear the clothes of a man, but you are full of heroism, I don't know how many girls you want to charm." ”

"Miss, you don't want to make fun of me." Liu Xin'er said shyly.

Cui'er looked surprised, "Are you Sister Xin'er?" ”

"Why can't you see this?" Saying that, Xin'er put down the square scarf on her head, her hair was draped over her shoulders, and there was a handsome boy who turned into a slim girl, and Cui'er believed that this was Liu Xin'er.

Several people sat down immediately, Ma Ruoya looked at Xin'er and asked curiously, "Xin'er, why are you dressed like this, is it your Brother Mo's idea?" ”

"Well, this dress can save you a lot of trouble. This can better help Brother Mo. ”

Ma Ruoya stopped talking when she heard this, and the atmosphere was a little awkward, after all, Ma Ruoya's relationship with Xin'er was a little complicated now. At this time, Lin Mo hurriedly changed the topic, "By the way, Second Miss, do you know what the requirements are for participating in the county exam?" ”

Ma Ruoya thought for a while and said: "I don't know the specifics, I only know that the exam to participate in the county exam must be registered locally, and before the exam, you have to go to the county government room to fill in the personal confession, mutual knot, and knot in order to participate in the exam, this is not difficult, with the name of the Ma family, I will not embarrass you." If you want to participate, you have to hurry up and prepare, this year you are lucky, the original March has been examined, you have to wait until March next year, this year Your Majesty thanks to the ancestors of the difficulty of starting a business, the difficulty of keeping the business, in order to recruit the world's wise men, in early August this year, you have to seize this opportunity, win the first case, if it is really passed, you can then participate in the government examination, a show before coming back. ”

Lin Mo smiled bitterly when he heard this, he wanted to make a name for himself, and he was hired with a passing grade, as for what case is the first place, he didn't think about it, Lin Mo felt that it was like in his previous life when he was in college, and there was no need to fight for the head of the case if he wasted sixty-one points.

Liu Xin'er was a little excited to hear that Lin Mo was going to participate in the county exam, in her opinion, Lin Mo was omnipotent, how could a county exam stump Lin Mo, looking at the look of adoration in Liu Xin'er's eyes, Lin Mo hurriedly poured a basin of cold water and said: "Don't think so highly of me, I haven't prepared anything now, I haven't even read a private school until now." Lin Mo was right, Lin Mo's own grandfather didn't let Lin Mo step out of General Town before he died, let alone let Lin Mo go to study.

Later, the current old Li Tou wanted Lin Mo to study, and he didn't have much silver, so Lin Mo now only relied on self-study since he crossed over, so he basically mastered all the common words, thanks to the continuity of Chinese characters, although there are changes in complexity and simplicity, but it is not a matter for Chinese descendants, and learning and mastering is still very fast.

"It's okay, I believe Brother Mo will definitely be able to get in." Liu Xin'er said firmly.

"Why don't you go to the exam too, you're a man now anyway." Lin Mo looked at Liu Xin'er and said with a smile, "And you have read a lot more books than me, and your chances of getting into the exam are much better than mine." ”

Lin Mo is right, Liu Xin'er has been with Ma Ruoya all these years, Ma Ruoyan likes to read and write well, Liu Xin'er naturally has a furrow in her chest and a collection of poems and books in her belly.

Liu Xin'er shook her head, "What's the use of me taking the imperial examination as a woman, and I can't be an official, if I am discovered, it will be troublesome." ”

"Haha, don't worry, maybe women will participate in scientific examinations in the future, and maybe there will be female champions."

Liu Xin'er and Ma Ruoya's eyes widened, and they looked at Lin Mo in disbelief, Lin Mo knew that what he said was a bit shocking, but Lin Mo remembered that there was indeed a female champion in his previous life, named Fu Shanxiang was the champion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period. Of course, there is also an opera called "The Female Horse", in which the protagonist Feng Suzhen is also a female champion.

Several people chatted for a long time, Ma Ruoya asked Lin Mo to go to the home school with Zhao Heng tomorrow, Wu Wenyan is now focusing on explaining the key points of the county exam, Lin Mo can come and listen. Lin Mo nodded in agreement, and then Ma Ruoyan's master and servant left together. Cui'er followed Ma Ruoya on the street, and Ma Ruoya suddenly stopped and walked in the other direction.

"Miss, you're on the wrong track, it's not the way to go home."

"I know, I'm going to buy something." Ma Ruoya said and led Cui'er to a bookstore, and the shopkeeper quickly stepped forward and said respectfully: "The second miss is here, I don't know what books the second miss wants to buy this time?" ”

Ma Ruoya likes to read, so she often goes to the bookstore to buy books, and she is familiar with the shopkeeper after coming and going.

Ma Ruoya said with a smile: "There is a cousin in the family who wants to take the county test, and I came here this time to buy him some books for the county trial." You recommend it to me for the troubles of the shopkeeper. ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately skillfully took a few books for Ma Ruoya from the dazzling bookshelves, and said: "Second Miss, these are all kinds of books that must be read in the county examination, especially this "Question Collection" is the topic of the Yunzhou County Examination in recent years, as well as the annotations and interpretations of famous experts, which is of great benefit to the county examination. As he spoke, he deliberately brought the "Question Book" to Ma Ruoya, and opened a few pages for Ma Ruoya to take a look.

"There are only two copies left in the county, and if you come one step late, it will really be gone. Does Miss Two need it? ”

Ma Ruoyan nodded after hearing this and said, "I want both of them." The shopkeeper immediately wrapped it up skillfully, and Ma Ruoya paid the money and left.

Early the next morning, Lin Mo and Zhao Heng came to Mafu together, Lin Mo casually found a place to sit down, Wu Wenyan was not surprised to see Lin Mo coming, but had an expected expression, perhaps Ma Ruoyan had already told him in advance.

Wu Wenyan made a special trip today to talk about the main content of the imperial examination, especially the entire process of the county examination, Lin Mo seriously recorded it, the imperial examination is currently mainly tested in three contents: "poetry, strategy, scriptures", in addition to some subjects, including mathematics, scriptures, etc., are not tested every time, and the examiner has little impact on the results when judging, so they are not taken too seriously.

There are definite and non-definite poems, and the definite style is to stipulate that the genre format of the poem can be a five-character quatrain, a seven-character poem, or a pun text, with a variety of types, and the non-definite style is that there is nothing to ask for yourself to write casually; Policy is a strategy, give a question, let you write your own views and countermeasures for the problem; As for the scriptures are the scriptures, it is to give a passage from the writings of the sages and let you write your own opinions, which is equivalent to writing an argumentative essay, which is basically just a boast and the end of the matter.

As for arithmetic, it is an arithmetic problem, and the Sutra is a fill-in-the-blank question in a previous life. However, the policy theory will only be available in the meeting examination and the palace examination, and the county examination and the government examination will basically only test poetry and scriptures. The county exam is simpler, the test is the foundation, as long as there is some ink in the belly, and the handwriting is good, it is easy to pass. The county exam was probably a small promotion exam in the previous life, and if you pass it, you can be considered a literati.

After listening to Wu Wenyan's introduction, Lin Mo suddenly opened, what he needs most now is to read books, although he has read some books, he doesn't care very much, and he doesn't remember much, after all, the current books are all in classical Chinese, and they can't read smoothly, and they don't know much about it, so Lin Mo really doesn't have any confidence in his heart now.

Unlike Lin Mo's anxiety, most of the students at the scene looked indifferent, as if they didn't take the county exam seriously. After the hall dispersed at noon, a group of people immediately ran away, leaving Wu Fuzi, Lin Mo and Zhao Heng.

Wu Wenyan asked, "Are you really going to participate in the scientific expedition?" Lin Mo nodded.

"Did you want to take the test yourself, or did you ask you to take the test?"

Lin Mo thought for a while and said, "It was the late student who wanted to take the test, and he also persuaded Ma Yuanwai." ”

Wu Wenyan listened to the tone of the conversation: "Do you plan to apply for the exam yourself or will be recommended by the Ma Mansion to participate in the county exam?" Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, is there anything else to pay attention to?

Wu Wenyan looked at Lin Mo and immediately explained: "If you participate with these candidates from the Ma Mansion, it will save you a lot of trouble, and you don't need to be so troublesome." ”

Candidates need to go to the county government's ceremonial room to report a month before the exam, fill in their personal resumes, as for the mutual knot, that is, several candidates fill in the mutual settlement insurance policy together, mutual guarantee, if one person cheats, he and others will be sitting; The knot is to ask the county's students to be guarantors, and the students are excellent people who have passed the government examination.

If Lin applies for the exam with the students of Mafu, it will avoid these troubles, after all, there is a big family of the Ma family as a guarantee, and the county government will not embarrass the students from Mafu, and even the county exam is a passing scene for them, basically the children of a wealthy family like the Ma family will be "admitted", and even a group of people will be "admitted" through family relations or teacher support, so the scientific examination is not very friendly to the poor.

"However, if you follow the students of the Ma family, you will show others that you are the protégé of the Ma family." Wu Wenyan looked at Lin after speaking, his words had already been said to this point, that is, to let Lin Mo realize the advantages and disadvantages of being with Ma Fu, and weigh it well.
