When Li Hongyu finished filling in the cover of the exam paper, the examination booth in his courtyard was already full of people, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little tense and depressed, and everyone looked serious, after all, this exam determined whether they could participate in the college exam.

The officer in charge of the patrol walked back and forth in the examination booth with a blank face, and if any of the unlucky guys cheated and bumped into their hands, they would be unlucky, not only would they lose their qualifications for the exam, but they would also be punished, and more importantly, they would be laughed at and unable to raise their heads.

Li Hongyu looked up and looked around, Li Hongyi was on the right side of the row in front of him, and Zhao Xin was on the left side of the row behind him.

Because his back was to Li Hongyu, he couldn't see Li Hongyi's expression, but Zhao Xin's expression was very relaxed, and he was burying his head there to fill in the exam papers.

In fact, the questions of the county examination are not complicated, just because this is the basic test of the children's examination, and it is also closely related to the fact that this is a question made by the magistrate, so as not to make the county resentful and boiling because the examination questions are too difficult, and at the same time, it is also of great benefit to promote the study style of the county.

Therefore, the first session of the county examination, that is, the admission of the main field, is wider, and those who are fluent in the main text can be admitted and allowed to participate in the prefectural examination, and the difficulty of the remaining three is gradually strengthened.

The content of the county examination is nothing more than the content of the four books and five classics, including the test poems, five scriptures, poems, fu, policies, treatises, etc., all of which have a certain format, and cannot be committed by temple secrets, royal names and holy secrets, and the examination text shall not be less than 300 words.

Generally speaking, the main test has two four-book essays and one five-character and six-rhyme test poem, and the title, poem, and writing style have a certain format, and the whole volume should not exceed 700 words.

In the second exam, there is one essay on four books and one essay on filial piety; In the third test, there are four books or scriptures, one law endowment, and one poem with five words and eight rhymes; The fourth test examines the views of the Four Books and the Five Classics, including scriptures, poems, scriptures, etc.

Compared with the college examination, the county examination and the government examination test are basic knowledge, and the content is relatively simple, unless you meet the kind of examiner with a withdrawn personality, it is usually not too difficult.

It is worth mentioning that each exam is limited to the same day to be handed in, and no lights and candles are given, which means that the exam will end at dusk, and candidates will appear from the "dragon gate" in batches, which is called "releasing cards".

After the candidates entered the exam, Chen Yu made public the questions of the exam, took two simple four-book essays, and wrote a five-character and six-rhyme test poem with the theme of "spring".

Due to the simplicity of the exam questions, Li Hongyu did not spend much energy, and easily finished answering the questions after more than an hour.

At this time, thirty percent of the candidates in the examination shed had finished answering the questions like Li Hongyu, and they were bored waiting for the arrival of the time to release the cards.

The county test and the government test are allowed to hand in the papers in advance, and the cards are released once two hours after the start of the exam, and the candidates who are allowed to hand in the papers after the examination are allowed to release the cards every other hour until the end of the exam.

When Li Hongyu was concentrating on the fabric business, there were suddenly a few bangs in his ears, and after hearing this sound, some candidates got up to sort out their belongings and prepared to hand in their papers and leave the examination room.

Once the candidate stands up at this time, he or she will not be allowed to sit down or answer the question, so as not to spy on the candidate's test paper in front of him or left or right, and the offender will be disqualified from the exam.

Li Hongyu also got up to pack up his belongings, then carried the exam basket in one hand and the exam papers in the other, and walked forward to hand them over to the errand officer in the examination shed who was responsible for collecting the papers, and then the errand would "obfume" these exam papers, and then hand them over to the relevant personnel for marking.

Since this exam determines whether or not to participate in the prefectural exam, for most candidates, the county exam is actually over, and the remaining three exams are much easier even if they participate.

Therefore, as soon as they left the county school, the familiar candidates gathered in groups of three or five, some discussing the previous exam questions, and some discussing where to find fun.

Li Hongyu belonged to an isolated person in Baihe Academy, so naturally no one would get close to him, so he walked to the carriage sent by the Li family to pick up people outside the county school, and prepared to go back to the other courtyard.

"Brother Li, how did you do in the exam?" Unexpectedly, before Li Hongyu approached the carriage, a voice came from behind him.

"Okay." Li Hongyu immediately heard it, and it was Zhao Xin who spoke, so he turned around and replied a little sneeringly.

"Brother Li, it's noon now, why don't you follow everyone to the restaurant for a get-together." Seeing that Li Hongyu cherished words like gold, Zhao Xin smiled disappreciably and sent him an invitation.

Not far away, Li Hongyi was surrounded by a group of candidates, talking nonsense, and was about to go to the county town restaurant to drink, because Li Hongyu has always been unsociable, so naturally no one called him.

Zhao Xin is a woman after all, and she is very sympathetic to Li Hongyu in her heart, she thinks that Li Hongyu has not done anything wrong, should an honest person be bullied, she is a little unaccustomed to others bullying Li Hongyu, so she came to invite.

In addition, the reason why Zhao Xin came here is also related to Li Hongyu and Qin Yue's engagement, so Li Hongyu and Li Hongyi can be said to be close to each other, Li Hongyi has to give Qin Yue a face, so he will definitely not treat Li Hongyu like before.

Therefore, Zhao Xin's invitation to Li Hongyu this time will definitely not cause Li Hongyi's dissatisfaction, but will be seen as looking for an opportunity to match the bad relationship between him and Li Hongyu.

"Third son, the people from our academy are here for this drinking party at noon, you can't escape from the battle." Li Hongyu was just about to open his mouth to refuse, a big grinning voice came, Liu Dongfu stepped forward with a smile, hugged Li Hongyu's neck quite affectionately and smiled, "Third son, you have to give us this face!" ”

Liu Dongfu is a delicate person, so when he saw Zhao Xin invite Li Hongyu to participate in the noon wine party, his eyes rolled and he immediately realized that there was a hidden secret, and then thought of Li Hongyu's engagement with Qin Yue not long ago, and knew that Li Hongyu's current situation had changed, so he also came to invite.

On the surface, it seems that Liu Dongfu is releasing kindness to Li Hongyu, but in fact, he is just currying favor with Li Hongyi, after all, Li Hongyi is the future principal of Baihe Town.

To tell the truth, Liu Dongfu is very sympathetic to Li Hongyu in his heart, thinking that Li Hongyu must have been forced to engage with Qin Yue, who is really pitiful, which man is willing to marry a broken shoe worn by someone else, this will be laughed at for life.

Obviously, no one in the outside world believes that Qin Yue is still perfect, especially Liu Dongfu and others, although they don't know what happened that night, they know Li Hongqing very well, how can this demon in the color let go of Qin Yue's beauty, and the lust fan must have ravaged it.

As for the testimony of everyone at the court trial, especially Li Hongyu's testimony of trying to protect Qin Yue's name, it was regarded by the outside world as a move to protect the reputation of the Qin family.

In fact, what Li Hongyu didn't expect was that his act of exculpating Qin Yue in court that day became the biggest flaw in the eyes of the outside world.

In Baihe Town, everyone knew that Li Hongyu was a timid and fearful person, and he didn't even dare to resist when Li Hongyu pushed him into the water and almost drowned, so how could he defend Qin Yue in the public court and tell the secret that outsiders didn't know, this was obviously someone who deliberately asked him to do this.

Therefore, Li Hongyu didn't expect that although on the surface it seemed that he was protecting Qin Yue, he ignored his unbearable image in the eyes of people, which made Qin Yue's situation even worse.

Li Hongyu suddenly felt a trace of helplessness in his heart when he heard this, knowing that he couldn't shirk it, so he pretended to be timid and looked timidly at Li Hongyi, who was talking and laughing with others.

"Let's come along." Li Hongyi secretly paid attention to the situation on Li Hongyu's side, and when he saw Li Hongyu looking over, he opened his mouth and said.

Although Li Hongyi hates Li Hongyu because of the family property, he has changed his attitude towards Li Hongyu after Li Hongyu almost drowned last year, after all, Li Hongyu is his cousin, and he is an honest person who has not offended him.

Therefore, since Li Hongyu fell into the water, Li Hongyi has not troubled Li Hongyu again, but because everyone bullied Li Hongyu because of his attitude, it is not easy for him to interfere, otherwise he will be a little embarrassed.

However, what Li Hongyi never expected was that it was his laissez-faire attitude that eventually led to the damage to Qin Yue's reputation, and he was annoyed in his heart.

Now that Li Hongyu is engaged to Qin Yue, Li Hongyi just took this opportunity to improve the relationship between him and Li Hongyu, after all, everyone will definitely meet from time to time in the future.

Seeing that Li Hongyi sent out an invitation, the corners of Li Hongyu's mouth couldn't help flashing a smile, and after nodding, he quietly followed Zhao Xin and Liu Dongfu.

He naturally knows Li Hongyi's thoughts, but this is fine, Li Hongyu also hopes that the Li family can be united and harmonious, especially since he will definitely leave Baihe Town in the future and need people from the clan to take care of the Zhao family.

The largest restaurant in Jiangkou Prefecture is the "Wangjiang Tower", which is three stories high, and when you climb to the second floor, you can have a clear view of the Han River flowing from the edge of the county.

"Young Master Li, the private room on the third floor has been prepared, please upstairs." The guy who greeted the guests in front of Wangjiang Tower naturally knew Li Hongyi, a well-known boy in the county, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face, nodding and leading the way in front.

Li Hongyi had already booked a private room on the third floor in Wangjiang Tower, which was the best seat on Wangjiang Tower overlooking the Han River.

There is no doubt that Li Hongyi naturally sat at the head of the wine table, and behind him was the window, overlooking the Han River flowing like a jade belt outside the city.

According to the rules, Li Hongyu will definitely have to sit in the second seat, he is the person in charge of the Li family's third room, but because he has been bullied for a long time, no one cares about his identity, so the second seat will definitely not be his turn.

Li Hongyu did not fight for this name, and sat on an inconspicuous seat, with Zhao Xin on the left and Liu Dongfu on the right, and a large table was full of people.

"Hey, the young master wants to see which guy who doesn't open his eyes and robbed the private room set by the young master." Just when Li Hongyi beckoned everyone to order, there was a sudden sound of messy footsteps outside the door, and then the door was slammed open, and a proud voice came in.
