The next morning, the county exam list was released, and Zhao En went to the gate of the county school early in the morning to squat and watch, seeing if Lin Mo and Zhao Heng had been admitted.

Lin Mo looked indifferent, but he already knew that Xiao Heng was also a matter of being caught, and after getting up, Lin Mo continued to be busy after washing up, preparing for tomorrow's banquet, which will be very grand tomorrow, Lin Mo is very confident in this.

At the other end, Zhao En waited for a long time in the place where the list was released, and there was also a bustling crowd gathered on the side, and some people even waited at the second place last night. Zhao En looked around and found an acquaintance.

"Second Miss, why are you here too? Could it be that it depends on how the people who participated in the Mafu exam this year did? ”

Ma Ruoya and Cui'er stood on the periphery of the crowd, and when they saw Zhao En, they were also a little panicked, and then smiled and said, "Well, I came over to take a look when I had nothing to do, by the way, why didn't Lin Mo come?" ”

Zhao En said with a smile: "He said that since the result is decided, he can't change it if he doesn't come, and it doesn't make sense, so he won't come." ”

"Then he can see it!" Ma Ruoyan smiled bitterly. At this time, there was a commotion in the crowd, "Here it is, here it is." It's out! ”

I saw a small official leading several officials to come over, and the officials held a few rolls of paper in their hands, and the officers skillfully spread out the papers, brushed the paste on the wall, and then carefully pasted the papers in order. The crowd immediately rushed up, looking for their names on the list.

"Hit, hit, I'm hit!" A teenager exclaimed, and then more and more people began to exclaim, of course, there were also those who did not win, depressed and self-pitying.

Zhao En and Ma Ruoya wanted to step forward, but there were too many people to squeeze in, and Ma Ruoyan was a woman and it was inconvenient to step forward, so they had to wait for someone to disperse before stepping forward. At this time, the little official began to say loudly: "In this county test, a total of 256 people in Qiannan County were referenced, and 53 people were recorded. ”

After saying that, he left with the servants. More than 40 people were admitted to the county examination this time, which can be said to be very high, and there were only 20 people in previous years.

But if you look at the list carefully, it is not difficult to see that many people with the same surname in it are from the same family, so among the more than 50 people, the Ma family, the Lu family and other wealthy gentry families in southern China account for 30. Therefore, for those children of poor families, the scientific examination is extremely unfair, and it is an indisputable fact that it is difficult for a noble son to come out of a poor family.

Suddenly, a candidate asked, "Who is this Lin Mo?" It's the head of the case? "The rest of the people are a little strange, there are circles of scholars, basically some famous and talented people in the family and some in the city know about it, but this is the first time Lin Mo has heard of it.

Zhao En and Ma Ruoya heard everyone talking about the head of the case, and the head of the case was a person named Lin Mo, their eyes were full of shock and disbelief, Zhao En knew that Lin Mo was very smart, but Lin Mo had never read many books before, that is, he had only reviewed some books with Zhao Heng in the past month, but it was still a little unbelievable that he was admitted to the head of the case all of a sudden. And Ma Ruoyan quickly regained her composure, as if everything was expected.

The two took advantage of the lack of people, and then came to the front of the list, the first place on the list was indeed Lin Mo, and the second place was Luo Ning, and the third was Lu Guan, Zhao En rummaged backwards along the list, and was surprised to find that Zhao Heng was ranked eleventh, and almost entered the top ten, but Zhao En was still very proud, after all, Zhao Heng only recently went to Mafu's home school, and he used to study by himself.

"It seems that it is right to let Xiaoheng study, otherwise he will really be buried." Zhao En was a little more grateful to Lin Mo in his heart, after all, Xiao Heng's reading was insisted on by Lin Mo, and Lin Mo had been busy with Zhao Heng's reading.

Ma Ruoya looked at the second place "Luo Ning" with some surprise in her heart, and her eyes unconsciously showed joy. And the other candidates are also constantly talking about Lin Mo and Luo Ning, and Lu Guan, who is in third place, some children of big families know that he is the son of the Lu family, and it is not unusual to be admitted.

At this time, a candidate suddenly remembered and immediately said: "I remember that two or three months ago I opened a new restaurant in the city, and on the first day of opening, the county commander and the big families in the city all went, saying that a young man surnamed Lin helped the county order solve the case, and the county order invited the big families in the city to set up a few tables of banquets in the restaurant to entertain him." Isn't that the teenager? ”

The rest of the candidates also thought about it when they heard it, "Yes, I remember that the young man's name is Lin Mo." It should be him. Immediately, everyone began to discuss, some said that Lin Mo was a hero, and some said that they thought that Lin Mo was the first to come from the case, and there were praises and disparages anyway.

At this time, Zhao En shook his head when he heard this, suddenly thought of something, and immediately said: "Students, the next is the shopkeeper who eats for the sky, and tomorrow, on August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival, a banquet will be held in the restaurant to entertain all students, anyone who wants to participate can participate, no penny will be charged, you can speak freely, chant poems, meet friends with words, and the head of the county examination Lin Molin Gongzi will also be present, and you can discuss the county examination with him at that time." Welcome to the restaurant below. ”

When the rest of the people heard this, they were stunned at first, and then they cheered, shouting: "Since the shopkeeper is so polite, I will definitely go to the banquet to meet this Lin case leader." Seeing that everyone was hot, Zhao En smiled with satisfaction, it seems that tomorrow's banquet will be like a cloud of guests.

Then Zhao En and Ma Ruoya left, Zhao En hurried back to report to Lin Mo, Ma Ruoyan was a little strange and asked, "Brother Zhao, do you know Lin Mo?" ”

Based on Ma Ruoya's understanding of Lin Mo, he is definitely not such a flamboyant person, and Ma Ruoyan is worried that if Zhao En makes his own decisions, it will bring trouble to Lin Mo.

Zhao En knew Ma Ruoya's thoughts and explained with a smile: "This is what Xiao Mo ordered. ”

"What, that's what he commanded?" Ma Ruoya replied with some disbelief.

Zhao En had no choice but to explain: "He told me that after the list is released today, he will talk about the banquet held in the restaurant and say that the head of the case will be present." I also wondered how the capital of the case didn't know who could be sure that he would be there, but now that I know, the head of the case is Lin Mo himself, no wonder he wonders if he is sure that the head of the case will be there. ”

Ma Ruoyan was very strange when she heard this, "Could it be that Lin Mo already knew that he was the head of the case?" Zhao En didn't know about this, so Ma Ruoya had to follow Zhao En back to the restaurant to ask for an understanding.

Zhao En remembered something and arched his hand to Ma Ruoyan and said, "Congratulations to the second lady for winning the second!" ”

Ma Ruoyan was at a loss when she heard this: "Brother Zhao, don't talk nonsense, I didn't take the county exam, and the second is obviously that Luo Ning." ”

Zhao En said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, it's Luo Ning, not Ruo Aya." ”

"Brother Zhao, do you know?" Ma Ruoyan asked nervously.

Zhao En didn't just say, just said: "Then Luo Ning I saw it when Xiao Mo came to investigate the case when I was in General Town, if you see Na Luo Ning tell him to rub less rouge gouache in the future, his nose is a little more sensitive and he can smell it, it is really strange for a big man to rub so much rouge gouache." Ma Ruoya's face immediately turned red when she heard this, and she immediately understood what Zhao En meant, so she immediately said: "It must be, I must let him pay attention." ”

"Oh? So the second lady knows that Luo Ning. After saying that, he laughed "haha". Ma Ruoya thought that this was really exposed, so she had to speed up her pace and walk towards the restaurant, Cui'er was a little strange when she saw the two of them, but she didn't ask anything.

The three of them returned to the restaurant, and Lin Mo saw a few people and asked, "Are they all here, the list is out?" Liu Xin'er and Sister-in-law Zhao also came up and wanted to know about the exam.

Zhao En nodded and said, "It's done, Xiao Heng eleventh." ”

Sister-in-law Zhao was immediately overjoyed when she heard this, "Eleventh Xiaoheng? Great, although it's a pity to almost enter the top ten, but this is already very good, right, how much is Xiao Mo?. ”

Zhao En's face showed a strange expression when he heard this, and Zhao's sister-in-law thought that Lin Mo had not passed the exam, so she hurriedly took the field: "It's okay, this time I just didn't win, Xiao Mo is so smart, this time I must be unfamiliar with the requirements of the county exam, and I will definitely be able to win next time." Liu Xin'er also followed to comfort Lin Mo.

Ma Ruoyan smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, you think wrong, Lin Mo is the head of the case, if he doesn't win, then wouldn't this session be unrecorded." ”

"Case-head?" When Sister-in-law Zhao heard this, she showed a surprised expression on her face, and hurriedly congratulated: "Xiao Mo is really hidden, I didn't expect to get the case." ”

Liu Xin'er was also very excited, with a hint of admiration in her eyes, she pulled Lin Mo's hand, although she didn't speak, her trembling hands already showed that she was excited now.

"It's a pity that Xiao Heng is still going to school in Mafu now, otherwise he must have told him as soon as possible, and now I can only tell him when the hall is over." Zhao En said with some regret. Zhao Hengxian took a day off after the exam and continued to go back to Mafu to go to school, after all, reading together should not be relaxed.

Ma Ruoyan said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, don't worry, the government will copy the list and send it back as soon as possible, Xiao Heng should already know by now." ”

As Ma Ruoya said, the subordinates of Ma Mansion have already sent the copied list to Ma Mansion, Ma Zhiyuan looked at the list, and saw that the first place was Lin Mo, and his eyes only fluctuated slightly before returning to normal.

Steward Zhang on the side said: "Master, this year, there are ten people in the government who participated in the county examination, and seven people have been admitted, and the rest will have to wait until next time to admit them." ”

"Well, I know, although this is just a cutscene, it can't be too obvious, adjust the ranking next time you are hired, don't adjust it too close."

Steward Zhang listened and said, "Yes, the villain will definitely explain it to the examiner." ”

Then he said: "This year's county test is very strange, the head of this case was originally the kid of the Lu family, but Zhou County Cheng had to give it to Lin Mo, saying that it had to be seen by Lord Yin, and it couldn't be too fake." The relationship between the county and Lu Yuanwai is not bad this week, how could he suddenly give Lin Mo the head of the case he said, is it because Lin Mo is close to us? ”

Ma Zhiyuan listened to Steward Zhang's doubts and smiled: "If it were normal, Zhou Qian would never interfere, but this is an opportunity for him to intervene, otherwise Lin Mo will get too close to us and it will be unfavorable to him." ”

Although Steward Zhang was a little puzzled and didn't understand what Ma Zhiyuan said, he had no choice but to nod. "This Lin Mo is really alive and well, and his writing is brilliant, which impresses me." Ma Zhiyuan said and took out a piece of paper from the table, which was the transcription of Lin Mo's answer sheet.

"This poem is really extraordinary, but with this poem, it has already surpassed most Jinshi." Steward Zhang was very surprised when he heard it, although he could also read and hyphenate words, but in comparison, he still lacked literary brilliance and could not taste the charm.

"Okay, you give this list to Master Wu." Steward Zhang nodded when he heard this, and then went out with the list.
