Zhang Yong has always been cautious and careful in front of Wu Jing, because he has a bright mind, diligent hands and feet, and a lot of eyesight, he is very liked by Wu Jing. Wu Jing heard him praise Zhou Zhi, so he looked at Zhou Zhi.

Seeing that Zhou Zhi had already written the first article, he was seriously writing the second article at this time, although he hadn't written a lot, but he didn't stop reading Zhou Zhi for a moment, obviously he had already finished the draft.

Wu Jing also laughed and said, "Xiao Yongzi is not bad, although this person is not as quick as Yang Xiancheng's nephew, it is not too bad. Hehe! Do it well, and you will have a bright future! ”

Zhou Zhi understood in his heart that the reason why Zhang Yongge wanted to praise himself was completely to let himself attract the attention of Wu Jing. Maybe Wu Jing's words can affect the results of this county test.

However, Wu Jing, a eunuch, is like bullshit, and he judges the merits entirely by the speed of his composition. Besides, Chen Guangyao, the county teacher, will listen to Wu Jing?

In Zhou Zhi's mind, Chen Guangyao, the magistrate of the county, will definitely have his own judgment, and he will not do it because Wu Jing said.

However, Zhang Yongge's kindness still has to be understood.

Thinking like this, Zhou Zhi simply stopped his pen and smiled at Wu Jing and Zhang Yong, Wu Jing had already walked forward with a smile, but Zhang Yong stopped beside Zhou Zhi and pinched Zhou Zhi's shoulder. This is not the place to speak, but Zhang Yong's pinch expresses all his psychology at this time. Zhang Yong didn't forget his brother, not to mention it, and he was always thinking about himself.

He is giving Zhou Zhi strength, hoping that Zhou Zhi can pass the test. At the same time, isn't he giving himself strength? The future is bright, but it will take time to slowly accumulate strength.

Wu Jing slowly finished inspecting the examination room and went out accompanied by Chen Guangyao and Yang Tong.

As soon as he walked out of the door of the examination room, Yang Tong, the county magistrate, said with a flattering smile, "Gonggong Wu came out of the palace this time to my Qingdu County, but I want to stay for a few more days to rest and rest." Just let the villain express his filial piety to you! ”

"Our family is just passing by, so we won't stop, hehe, let's go!" Wu Jing said with a smile. Having said that, a pair of small eyes were fixed on Yang Tong.

He really listened to what Yang Tong said just now, and Yang Tong said that he wanted to honor him. Hehe! This filial piety is naturally to give Yang Tong a chance.

A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way.

For the filial piety of some local officials, Wu Jing has always refused to come. After all, Wu Jing can mix in the palace, and silver is needed everywhere. Moreover, in Wu Jing's view, local officials can honor him, because they look up to themselves and give themselves face.

Hehe! In these years, if you give face to others, others will give themselves face, and everyone has face, so they can better mix it up, right?

Yang Tong and Wu Jing just had such a simple conversation, which allowed Yang Tong to figure out Wu Jing's temperament. Yang Tong's family runs a large silk and cotton store in the county seat, and is the richest family in Qingdu County, and the most important thing is silver. can tie up with the eunuchs in the palace, it is undoubtedly to find a huge backer, how can Yang Tong let go of such an opportunity.

Wu Jing stopped in Qingdu County for a while, and after noon, he returned to Beijing with the six thousand taels of silver given to him by Yang Tong.

At this time, the county exam happened to be just two hours later, and the examination room began to put the first cards.

The students who finished the exam papers, as well as those who couldn't write a word at all, all handed in the papers and left.

Yang Jinshan, Yue Shuzhen and Zhou Zhi handed in the exam papers. Yang Jinshan was full of pride, his face was as happy as a blooming chrysanthemum, and he happened to catch a glimpse of Yue Shuzhen walking beside him, and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner, "Uncle Yue's county trial is not bad this time, but it is slightly worse than the little nephew, hehe!" Wait, the little nephew must pass this county test.

By the way, Uncle Yue has ever noticed that Zhou Zhi, hehe! That kid is also very talented, and he likes the old teacher Qu, bullshit! It's not as good as Uncle Yue!

Hey! The little nephew's request is very simple, that is, I hope to pass the county exam, Uncle Yue, you are different, you want to be the head of high school. The little nephew is looking forward to the list in two days, you are the head of the case! ”

Yue Shuzhen was already tired of Yang Jinshan, disgusted, and almost didn't even look at Yang Jinshan, so he walked away.

He was in an irritable mood at this time, could he be the first to hit the case this time? He was uneasy.

Zhou Zhi calmly walked out of the examination room, and Qi Yanwu and Fan Jin were looking forward outside. Seeing Zhou Zhi, the two of them hurriedly came over, Fan Jin had already penetrated everything from Zhou Zhi's calm face, and said with a smile, "Hehe! Brother Zhou Zhixian, go! Go back to the inn and wait for two days to make a list! Brother Zhou Zhixian must be the head of the case this time! ”

Zhou Zhi smiled indifferently and did not speak.

In Zhou Zhi's mind, he did his best in the two articles of the county exam, and his current level of composition is like this. Whether it works or not, it is useless to say anything at this time.

I really want to get the head of the case, but how are other people's exam papers doing? The so-called masters are among the people, and there may be people who are better than themselves among these hundreds of candidates. Alas! If that's the case, you can only say that you're out of luck.

The three of them returned to the inn, ordered a table of banquets, and began to eat and drink with laughter.

Although he has experienced many exams in later generations, he has been very mature psychologically, but he has not been able to stop his heart in the past two days. The days of waiting for the unveiling of the list are difficult, and the mood of Zhou Zhi in the past two days seems to have returned to the days when he was waiting for the university admission letter in the future, and he is also worried from time to time.

The closer the day of the unveiling of the list approaches, the more nervous Zhou Zhi's mood becomes.

Fan Jin seemed to be even more anxious than him, and he was almost on pins and needles in the inn. From time to time, he would run out of the inn and take a look at the county office, hoping to get the news of the county test results as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the two days passed quickly, and the list will be released after noon on this day.

It's still early, Zhou Zhi, Fan Jin, and Qi Yanwu had lunch early, and they were just about to go to the county government gate to wait. Lu Xingchuan, Che Lang, Wei Haogu and others came in from outside.

Naturally, they were also very concerned about the results of the Zhou Zhi County test, and simply rushed to the county seat before the release of the list.

"Can't sit still at home? What's there to worry about? Brother Wei has already asked Brother Zhou Zhixian to write his articles and read it, and it seems that Brother Zhou Zhixian's two articles written this time are impeccable, which is really wonderful.

The old man has read the county test articles for so many years, and none of them are better than the two articles made by Zhou Zhixian. According to the old man, Zhou Zhixian's two articles are to participate in the government examination and the provincial examination, and there is a possibility that they will be the head of the high school case, not to mention the small county examination.

The first case of this county trial is none other than Zhou Zhi! When Fan Jin saw them, he pretended to smile calmly.

"Brother Fan can't say that, wait for the list to be released later, if the head of the case is not the little brother, it won't be the little brother who will be ashamed to death!" Zhou Zhi said with a smile.

"Huh! Don't argue, the list is about to be released, I'll go to the county yamen and wait first! Che Langdao.
