This day is the day of the prefectural examination.

Yan Heng got up early with little Yan Song, and was so busy in early summer and late autumn that he waited for his son-in-law to wash.

And Daddy Yan Zhun also got up early once, no longer lingering in the gentle township, and kept asking Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song what to pay attention to, what to do when they want to pee, what to do if their stomach is uncomfortable, and the nagging is endless.

Caixiu was busy cooking while tying her clothes, and specially took out a few more eggs, saying that they were cooked and asked Yan Heng Xiao Yan Song to take them to the examination room to eat.

"Although you just took the test this time, I didn't expect you to be able to pass the test and win glory for my Yan family, but my father still has to tell you all this, after all, the opportunity is rare, and you have to take the test seriously, not arbitrary."

Even at the dinner table, Daddy Yan Zhun still kept talking, and talked about his majesty in participating in the county exam that year, saying that although he was not the top ten in the county, it also made the Yan family in the entire Qili Village have a bright face.

Yan Heng didn't say anything, but Xiao Yan Song looked at his father Yan Zhun with admiration, pulled Yan Heng's sleeve, and said stupidly: "Brother, can we be like my father?" ”

"Yes", Yan Heng smiled, although Xiao Yan Song said that he couldn't do current writing, he now has a lot of articles in his head, even with a lot of ancient poems and questions, if the examiner puts some water, maybe he really has a chance.

However, the father Yan Zhun thought that Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song couldn't win, so he first gave Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song a preventive shot: "It doesn't matter if you can't win this time, my father won't blame you, but next year is a must, understand?" ”

Yan Heng hurriedly explained, and Xiao Yan Song also nodded seriously.

Because Ouyang Jin and Yan Heng are now in close contact, and the two have now established a cooperative relationship because of Wenqu Study, Ouyang Jin said yesterday that he would send a carriage to pick up Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song to go to the examination room together, after all, their Ouyang family also had to send people to the examination room by the way.

Not long after Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song finished eating, before dawn, the Ouyang family's carriage arrived.

In early summer and late autumn, he tearfully said goodbye to his son-in-law, Yan Heng hurriedly asked him to go back to practice calligraphy in early summer, and don't forget to go to the bookstore to help in the afternoon, he didn't understand that he just took the county exam, how could this silent girl cry and cry.

But Shenqiu didn't cry here, but Xiao Yan Song cried, and her little head rubbed around on Shenqiu's chest, whimpering and saying that she was reluctant to sister.

Yan Heng couldn't help rolling his eyes, thinking that his younger brother was also powerful, and he knew how to take advantage of him at a young age, but it seemed that Xiao Yan Song rarely talked about Xiao Lulu recently.

However, when he arrived at Ouyang's house, before Yan Heng could react, Xiao Yan Song had already beckoned to Ouyang Lu: "Little Lulu!" I'm going to take the prefectural test, and I'll do my best! ”

Ouyang Lu was standing in front of Ouyang Mansion with Ouyang Xue at this time to send his cousin Dou Ding and Ouyang Hong and other children of the Ouyang clan to take the exam, and they didn't pay attention to Xiao Yan Song at all.

However, Ouyang Xue heard Xiao Yan Song's voice, smiled at Xiao Yan Song, and then glanced at Yan Heng on the side.

And his cousin Dou Ding noticed Ouyang Xue looking at Yan Heng with his eyes at this time, and couldn't help but pantothenic acid: "Some people participate in the county test just to fill the number, cousin, don't worry, cousin, I will definitely be able to win the county test this time!" ”

Ouyang Xue smiled, and nodded towards Dou Ding: "Sit and wait for your cousin's good news." ”

Ouyang Hong also raised his little head proudly: "Sister, I will also be in the top ten in the county, that little Yan Song is not as good as me!" ”

Ouyang Xue smiled and touched his younger brother Ouyang Hong's little head, and Dou Ding also encouraged: "That's natural, Brother Hong, your intelligence is far above his little Yan Song, that little Yan Song is just a memorable filial piety, how can he be as smart as you." ”

At this time, Ouyang Jin was also speaking to the children of his Ouyang family: "This time, there are fourteen people in our Ouyang family to participate in the county examination, and at least five or more of them must be selected. The two on the carriage are the two sons of the Yan family, and they have a friendship in the world, and you can help take them. This time they are just taking an exam, and you are not sure of the first place, and you don't have to compare with them. ”

"Uncle cousin, don't worry, how can the bird be compared with the bird, but I'm afraid that the bird will not be able to climb the ambition of the bird", Dou Ding said and got into the carriage first.

Yan Heng couldn't help but smile secretly when he saw this, thinking that this Dou Ding was still just a teenager after all, and he was even more arrogant than when he took the college entrance examination back then.

When I arrived at the examination room, there were a lot of Confucian children who came to participate in the county examination, including children like Xiao Yan Song who had not dried up and old Confucian children who were old, moving forward step by step.

At the entrance of the examination room in front, the county officials were searching one by one to see if there were any Confucian children who were cheating.

Although the prefectural examination is not very strict and does not have to be undressed for inspection, it is not easy to pass the test, and a few people have been checked out and brought pamphlets and have been directly expelled from the examination room, and have been deprived of the right to refer to them.

Yan Heng took Xiao Yan Song and carefully followed the flow of people, this was the first time he had participated in the Ming Dynasty version of the exam, and he was also a little nervous, but fortunately, he was also a veteran in the examination room in his previous life, so he was quite stable.

However, Xiao Yan Song was obviously a little scared, and his little hands pulled him tightly.

Yan Heng hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, just follow my brother, and after you go in, you can honestly follow the questions from the county and choose from the articles you remember to answer." ”

Xiao Yan Song nodded.

Dou Ding and Ouyang Hong followed behind Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song, among which Dou Ding knocked Yan Heng on the shoulder with a fan handle in a bright light: "Hey, you made that crab song?" ”

Yan Heng ignored this Dou Ding, after all, he was not a person who was willing to talk to an impolite person.

Dou Ding said to himself: "It can be seen that you are a poet, but today you are heavy on articles, poetry is just a last skill, and some crooked talents are useless." ”

Yan Heng still didn't pay attention to this sinus top.

At this time, the county officials who searched for whether there was entrainment on their bodies began to retrieve a person in front of Yan Heng, and Yan Heng couldn't help but hurriedly pull Xiao Yan Song to raise his chest and raise his head.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, Dou Ding threw a booklet into Yan Heng's examination basket!

Dou Ding waved his fan very proudly, Yan Heng's crab song made him very shameless in front of his cousin, and made him have already had the heart to harm Yan Heng.

Yan Heng also found that Dou Ding threw a booklet with the content of the current text into his exam basket!

But Yan Heng had no time to throw away the pamphlet now, because the officials who searched him had already walked in front of him.

If Yan Heng was checked out at this time and brought a pamphlet, he would be directly regarded as cheating, and he would probably lose his chance to be in the field from now on.

Yan Heng didn't expect Dou Ding to target himself so much.

"What are you nervous about! Stand still! ”

At this time, the official in charge of searching for the candidates asked Yan Heng.
