The person who spoke was Yue Shuzhen.

Yue Shuzhen has never been smiling, and he looks very scheming, but today he suddenly smiled and spoke to Zhou Zhi, Zhou Zhi hurriedly stood up and arched his hand towards Yue Shuzhen, "Hehe! It turned out to be Brother Yue! ”

According to the folklore of Baiyue Village, Zhou Zhi should call Yue Shuzhen his uncle.

Yue Shuzhen is the fourth son of Yue Shunde, the old lady of the Yue family, and he has just turned 20 this year. But Yue Shunde is already more than seventy, and he is a generation higher than Zhou Zhi's father Zhou Tie. Zhou Zhi is naturally a generation younger than Yue Shuzhen.

But because they are both members of the Shulu Village Literary Association, and Zhou Zhi and Yue Shuzhen are of the same age, Yue Shuzhen and Zhou Zhi are simply brothers.

Yue Shuzhen's seat is indeed not far from Zhou Zhi's, and in front of a wooden table on Zhou Zhi's right is Yue Shuzhen's seat.

At this time, Yue Shuzhen had already placed the pen, inkstone, and other things on the table very chicly, and it would take a while for all the candidates to enter the examination room, so Yue Shuzhen simply came over, still laughing and said, "Brother Zhou Zhixian, Brother Wei has already heard that you have been studying and writing very hard these days!" In fact, there is nothing in this county test, as long as you can solve the question, the article is written enough words, and you can pass it with a little look.

Brother Wei read Brother Xian's article, hehe, Brother Wei thought that it was very possible for Brother Zhou Zhixian to pass the county exam.

If Brother Zhou Zhixian can win the first place once, it will definitely cause a lot of sensation in our Baiyue Village! ”

Zhou Zhiwen heard Yue Shuzhen speak, and couldn't help but feel more and more strange.

This Yue Shuzhen usually doesn't like to talk, but today he is obviously a little abnormal and has become able to speak. This is not counting, in Zhou Zhi's impression, although Yue Shuzhen did not participate in the literary activities of Shulu Village, he had seen a few of his own articles.

And Yue Shuzhen didn't evaluate himself like this at that time, he admired the articles he made at that time, and he was very flattering, saying that he was very likely to win the county exam. But today he changed his rhetoric and said that he was likely to pass the county exam, which is obviously inconsistent!

Abnormal, if things go abnormal, there must be demons.

Fortunately, there was not much contact with Yue Shuzhen before, Zhou Zhi and Yue Shuzhen were just a general relationship, and Zhou Zhi, as a traverser from later generations, understood Yue Shuzhen's thoughts after a little pondering. Yue Shuzhen is obviously mentally suppressing himself, his purpose is to be the head of the case, and he is his competitor, he is hurting his confidence at this time.

is so sinister and evil, why didn't I find out that Yue Shuzhen was such a person before.

Knowing Yue Shuzhen's thoughts, Zhou Zhi's heart was also stunned. Chao Yue Shuzhen arched his hand and said, "What Brother Yue said is not bad, Zhou Zhi is here to try it this time, and it doesn't matter if you don't pass the exam." After all, this is a chance to practice. In the future, the kid will experience more exams, and he will have more experience!

Brother Yue is amazing, he gave up the child and retook the county exam, which was about to be the first to come out. Brother Yue's courage really makes the little brother admire! ”

Zhou Zhi said a few words of compliment, Yue Shuzhen's face was as usual, but Zhou Zhi saw that he didn't seem to be listening to himself, but looking away.

Obviously, he has a lot of experience before the exam, and he doesn't want to be disturbed by any useless words. Zhou Zhi changed his words and said with a smile, "But Brother Yue has seen that there are many candidates for this year's county examination, including elderly people, and even seven or eight-year-old children, so many people, there must be people who are not shallow in learning."

Brother Yue's article is good, as a close friend, the younger brother still reminds Brother Yue, you can't take it lightly, if you are a little careless, the head of the case will be taken away by others, and Brother Yue will lose more than you gain! ”

When Zhou Zhi spoke, his face was extremely solemn, and he looked extremely sincere, completely worried about Yue Shuzhen, which made Yue Shuzhen not have any doubts, and Yue Shuzhen's heart couldn't help but be shocked.

Speaking of which, Yue Shuzhen is indeed full of confidence, and this time he has made up his mind to take the first case. But deep down, he is indeed a little worried, if he fails the exam, he will inevitably laugh and be generous, or if he can't even pass the county exam this time, it will be even more impossible to steal chickens and rice, and he will not even have the reputation of a child.

Of course, his worries were still very small, and they did not make much waves in his heart. But at this time, Zhou Zhi said it kindly, which made him feel shocked in his heart, and an inexplicable fear suddenly passed through his heart.

Yue Shuzhen smiled indifferently at Zhou Zhi and said, "What Brother Zhou Zhixian said is not bad, he must deal with it carefully for his brother." In fact, fame is like a floating cloud to me, and it is not important. ”

He was clearly talking nonsense. Fame is like a floating cloud to him, so what else did he invite a famous teacher from Beijing to do? What is the point of studying behind closed doors for so long?

As soon as Yue Shuzhen's words fell, Yang Jinshan stood on the right side of Yue Shuzhen with a small box, and laughed, "Ouch! What a blessing! I didn't expect my seat with Uncle Yue to be next to each other! Uncle Yue, you have to take care of it when you take the exam in a while! ”

Yang Jinshan is the nephew of Yang Tong in the county, and Yue Shuzhen is Yang Tong's brother-in-law, so the two of them are naturally very familiar with each other.

When Yue Shuzhen saw him, he couldn't help frowning, and secretly complained.

It's really unlucky, why is this seat next to this kid?

Yue Shuzhen was very aware of the little bit of ink in Yang Jinshan's stomach. According to Yue Shuzhen, this Yang Jinshan can't write a complete article at all, and when he came to participate in the county exam, it was completely a blind cat who wanted to kill a mouse, and it all depended on luck. But he is next to him, and when the exam starts at this moment, this kid has to trouble himself and plagiarize his own article.

What the exam needs is a peace of mind, and it's not a good thing to have someone like Yang Jinshan to bother by the side.

Yue Shuzhen had the heart to immediately go to the counselor or the examiner to ask for a change of seat, but at this moment, a gong suddenly sounded in the examination room, and an errand officer sang loudly, "Attention students, the time for the examination has arrived, please sit down!" ”

Before his words fell, Chen Guangyao, the magistrate of Qingdu County, came in from outside. He was followed by a dozen servants.

The examination room was suddenly extremely quiet, and everyone looked up at Chen Guangyao in unison.

Chen Guangyao is the chief examiner of the county examination, and it is his own business from the question to the marking. At this time, Chen Guangyao bowed slightly, and said, "All students should fill in their names and seat numbers on the exam papers first. After the tea, the exam questions are announced. ”

The candidates grind and then start writing their names and seat numbers on the left side of the paper.

After the tea kung fu passed, more than a dozen errand officers behind Chen Zhixian each held a question plate and began to walk slowly in the examination room.

What is written on the question board is the two questions of the four books in this year's county examination.

Zhou Zhi's eyesight is very good, and he can see the topic clearly from afar, and the corners of his mouth can't help but raise slightly, revealing a slight smile.
