For the candidates who dare to hand in the papers first, Li Rizhi still gives certain preferential treatment.

After Wen Dengke thanked Li Rizhi, he took the silver and walked out of the gate of the county office, he stood at the door of the county office, and exhaled a long breath.

Wen Dengke thought to himself: "The day's test is finally over, and I think the test results are not bad, so it's not early to see the sky today, why don't I go to the city gate and wait for my parents to enter the city, and then help them sell vegetables together, and now it's almost time to go into the city at night to deliver food!" ”

Wen Dengke didn't feel any shame in growing and selling vegetables before, he ate by his own strength, he felt that his parents relied on this to provide for his own education, so he had to help his parents if he could.

Moreover, after he looked at the last question in the exam today, and the most important question, it turned out to be a question about people's livelihood, so he guessed that it was possible that the test questions in Chang'an were also out like this.

After all, this county magistrate heard that he was a serious Jinshi background, and he was also the second place in the Jinshi examination, since the county magistrate could achieve such a ranking in the imperial examination, which shows that he is very familiar with the rules of the imperial examination, and if he makes the questions, then it is very likely to be very close to the imperial examination.

Since this is the case, then it is also very important for him to have a good understanding of the people's livelihood, maybe if he really has the opportunity to go to Chang'an to participate in the scientific examination in the future, then the people's livelihood he understands can really be used.

Wendenko carried his small baggage and planned to walk to the city gate, but he saw that there were many people around the gate of the county office, and they were about to surround a street, so he had to borrow it and slowly squeeze out of the crowd.

After squeezing out of the crowd, he asked a person outside the crowd, why is there so many people on this street at the entrance of the county government, and today is not the day to make a notice, even if it is the day of the announcement, it must be rescheduled, because today the county order has to preside over the exam, and the people can't let the people make a notice and enter the county government to fight a lawsuit.

The onlooker hurriedly said: "You look like a scholar, why didn't you go to the county office to take the exam?" ”

Wendenko said: "You guys are here, waiting for the people to watch the exam leave, right?" ”

The onlookers smiled and said: "Yes, yes, this is the grand occasion of the scholars in this county, anyway, I also heard from others, saying that it is a grand occasion, all the scholars in the county have gathered together to take the exam, which is a small scientific examination, and the people who participate in this exam must be young talents!"

Do you see, the people blocking the street in front are all from the rich family's family in the county, they are here to see, which reader has the best reading, and is the most handsome, that must be a young talent, they all want to find a young talent to go home as a son-in-law, the son-in-law they pick is much better than the matchmaker who comes to the door and talks nonsense! ”

After hearing this, Wendenko smiled slightly and thought, "A real young talent? There are really a few good-looking ones in it, so let the daughters of these rich families choose well! ”

The onlooker said again: "You look like you're also a scholar, why don't you go in for the exam?" I heard that the exam is about to be over, and it will only be a quarter of an hour or two quarters of an hour, those candidates are about to come out, and if you go in to take the exam now, I'm afraid it's too late, you came to the city from the countryside to fight a lawsuit, right? Today is not the day to make a announcement! ”

Wen Dengke smiled and said, "I'm also a candidate, I just finished the exam, and the first paper to be handed in came out in advance!" ”

After all, he is still young, and he is very lacking in social experience, because he did well in the exam this time, he was in a very good mood, and he was rewarded by the county order, so he couldn't help but want to show off.

Wen Dengke took out the silver ingot from his bosom, shook it in his hand, and said to the onlooker: "Because I am the first person to hand in the papers, the county magistrate appreciates it very much, and this is the silver that the county magistrate rewarded me, let me buy some candles, and use it for reading at night!" ”

When he had finished, he put away the money, and began to walk toward the gate again.

The onlookers were surprised, he didn't expect that someone would hand in the exam in advance, and because this person submitted the paper in advance, he was even missed by the people in front of him who blocked the entrance of the county government and wanted to see young talents come out.

What's this called? It's not that I lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame seeds, but I actually missed the young talent who was the youngest talent, and the family members of those landlords and old fortunes were too stupid!

Wen Dengke quickly walked to the city gate, at this time, it was when his father Wen Laohan and Wen Auntie entered the city to deliver food, the old couple was pushing the cart, wanting to cross the moat, Wen Dengke saw his parents in the city gate, and immediately ran out, helping his parents to carry the food cart, into the city.

Wen Dengke saw that there were a lot more vegetables in the car than usual, so he said: "Daddy, why did you bring some more vegetables into the city today, can you sell them?" ”

Wen Laohan said with a smile: "Today, there is a shopkeeper of a cloth shop, saying that he wants to have a treat at home, and it is a dinner party, so he said that he wants to order some fresh vegetables, and we will send them to his family!" ”

Aunt Wen said, "Son, how did you do in today's exam?" ”

Wen Dengke nodded, he couldn't help but smile on his face, and said: "I did well in the exam, and because my son was the first person to hand in the exam papers, the county magistrate also praised me!" ”

He took out the ingot of silver from his bosom and handed it to Mrs. Wen.

Wen Dengke said: "This is the silver given by the county magistrate, saying that he wants to buy me candles at night for reading, but I endorse books at night and don't need candles, so you can keep this silver, which can be used to supplement the family." ”

Aunt Wen was overjoyed, she took the silver, hurriedly put it in her arms, and then said: "Son, in the future, it will be like silver, copper coins, these things must not be taken out in crowded places, so that others can see it, it is amazing, and it will be remembered by thieves!" ”

Wen Laohan's face was full of relief, and he said: "It's good to study, look at our family's vegetables, and sell them for a few dollars a year, but our son took the exam once, and he got ten taels of silver, this is silver, not copper money!" ”

Aunt Wen was also full of joy, and he said: "Of course, of course, our son is better than us!" ”

Wen Dengke pushed the cart and helped his parents to deliver food first, and they first went to deliver food to the rich family who ordered food temporarily, and it was the shopkeeper of the cloth shop who ordered the food, and this cloth shop was one of the largest stores in Qianfeng County.

The three members of the Wen family pushed the cart and arrived at the back door of the shopkeeper of the cloth shop, and at this time, naturally a cook came out to watch the three members of the Wen family move vegetables into the kitchen.

At this time, a little maid suddenly ran in the front yard, this little maid ran profusely sweating, she shouted at the cook, "Bring me a bowl of mint water, I'm going to die of thirst!" ”

The cook snorted, and then went to pour water for her, and she asked, "Little hoof, where have you been wandering, and how can you be so thirsty?" ”

The little maid said: "You are shameless, don't talk nonsense."

Well, I went to the county government to watch the exam, and when those candidates came out, I read them all, and our master said that these people are all young talents, and if you can say that one is a son-in-law for our young lady, it would be great. ”

The cook poured the water, handed the water to the little maid, and then said with a smile: "It turned out that I went to see the young talents, no wonder the waves are so short of water, drink it quickly!" Have you seen any young talents? ”
