Early in the morning, Li Yanqing and the four of them changed into the clothes they wore on formal occasions, usually wearing hoodies, that is, composed of black gauze hats, soap shirts and horn belts, and due to the cold weather, they put on a short fur coat outside.

The four of them did not take the ox cart, and under the leadership of Master Yao Ding, they walked directly to the county government not far away, and they went to participate in the opening ceremony and lottery ceremony of today's children's club.

As soon as he walked to the side door of the county government, a person ran out of the door, thin and tall, with eyebrows and eyes very similar to Tang Huai, it was their liaison, Tang Huai's eldest uncle, named Tang Zhengzong, about forty years old, looking very shrewd and capable.

Tang Zhengzong has been their contact person for four consecutive years, and a set of processes is already very familiar, and when he saw Yao Ding, he hurriedly said: "The other seven have already arrived, so they sent us." ”

"Didn't you say that it only started when the good time came? It's still half an hour away! Yao Ding said dissatisfiedly.

Tang Zhengzong smiled bitterly, "Everyone wants to know about each other's situation, so they arrived early, just now Tangbei Township School and Yuli Town School also competed, full of gunpowder, if nothing else, this year will be the two of them competing for the lead." ”

Speaking of this, Tang Zhengzong said in a low voice: "I also heard a news that Zhizhou Li Daguan is also coming this time, I don't know if the news is true?" ”

Yao Ding didn't say anything, the eldest son told him last night that Li Zhizhou was very interested in the Tongzi Association in Tangyin County, and he would come to observe this time, and it would probably come in the last few days.

However, he had a big quarrel with his eldest son last night, and he didn't want to mention it, so Yao Ding said: "Let's talk about these trivial matters later!" Let's go in first. ”

Everyone walked into the central hall, only to see that the courtyard was full of students, lined up in seven teams, and the teenagers were all twelve or thirteen years old, one by one full of ambition, looking at each other with the corners of their eyes.

When the four students of Lushan Town School walked in, the students in the courtyard laughed loudly, and actually sent four little hairy children, originally everyone looked down on Lushan Town School, but now there are four little hairy children, and everyone doesn't put them in their eyes, okay, safflower always needs green leaves to set off.

At this time, an official in his thirties came out of the hall, he coughed heavily, and the courtyard suddenly quieted down, looking at the appearance of this official, Li Yanqing knew that he was Yao Wannian, the son of Master Yao, Tangyin County Xuezheng, in charge of the county's education examination, and the father and son almost looked exactly the same.

Yao Wannian invited Master Yao Ding to sit in the hall, and the students did not have such a good treatment, they all stood in line in the courtyard, stood for an hour or two, and waited patiently until the end of the lottery to disperse, and their legs were frozen and numb, but most of the students had experience, and each brought a book to pass the time, Li Yanqing and the four of them only Yue Fei brought a copy of "Wang Linchuan Collection".

After only standing for a moment, Li Yanqing heard someone in the team next to him whispering, "Whose son do you say this red boy is?" Why would the Bull Demon King say that Red Boy wasn't his son? ”

Li Yanqing was stunned, isn't this his own book? He looked back, only to find that almost half of the twenty-eight students were reading the same book, Li Yanqing looked down at their book covers, the book is called "The Red Child of the Great Sage Monster Hunt", it is the novel he wrote, and there is also the author's name below, called 'Lushan Xiaoxiaozi', Li Yanqing covered his mouth all of a sudden, and almost burst out laughing, this pen name is really good, isn't he 'Lushan Little Boy'?

Wang Gui whispered to Li Yanqing: "This book seems to be very good, let's buy one later." ”

Li Yanqing nodded again and again, he must go and buy a copy, it seems to be selling well.

After waiting for half an hour, Li Yanqing's legs were about to freeze, and with a bell ringing, the Boys' Club ceremony finally began, and the masters of the eight schools walked out of the hall surrounded by three officials talking and laughing, and among the three, Li Yanqing only knew one Xuezheng Yao Wannian.

Tang Huai whispered to everyone: "The one in the middle is Liu Zhixian, the one on the left is Ma Xiancheng, and the one on the right is Xuezheng, and the three of them are the judges of this boys' competition." ”

Liu Zhixian looks very ordinary, his skin is relatively fair, but he has a good temperament, he is thin and tall, and he has a bit of a monk's fairy wind bones.

But the horse county next to it looks impressive, the face is longer than a donkey, a pair of eyes are more white and less black, like a tadpole swimming in a white porcelain bowl, this is commonly known as the four white eyes, also called snake eyes, the appearance is born from the heart, from the appearance of the county Cheng is not a good class.

At this time, Li Yanqing suddenly remembered something, didn't his father have an accident on behalf of the nephew of the county Cheng? Could it be this Ma Xiancheng? Although it was four years ago, his intuition told Li Yanqing that it should be this county.

"Everyone, students have worked hard!"

Liu Zhen of the county opened his mouth, "Since the county founded the Boys' Club, this year is already the fifth, here I want to tell you a good news, the second session of the Boys' Club of the year eight people participated in the state examination two months ago, seven of them were in high school, and they will enter Beijing next year to participate in the provincial examination, this incident caused a sensation in Xiangzhou, and even Zhizhou decided to come to observe the Boys' Club, which shows that the Boys' Club founded in the county is completely correct......"

The more Liu Zhen of the county magistrate spoke, the more excited he became, and the students below were also whispering, seven of the eight people were in the exam, this ratio is really amazing, Wang Gui pouted and said: "This is not the result of my own efforts, the boy will be said to be like a dog skin plaster, and it will be good as soon as it is pasted." ”

Yue Fei shook his head and disagreed with Wang Gui's opinion, "You can't say that, we have only practiced hard for twenty days, and we have gained a lot, but I heard that several townships have been training since half a year ago, and the Tongzi Association is a very trained person, which cannot be denied." ”

Li Yanqing didn't listen to what they said, his attention was still on that Ma Xiancheng, he found that when the county magistrate said 'the boy will be completely correct', Ma Xiancheng inadvertently pursed his lips, revealing a trace of disdain, although this expression was fleeting and difficult to see, but it was still carefully captured by Li Yanqing, he secretly thought in his heart, it turned out that there was also a hidden contradiction between the county magistrate and the county Cheng!

Liu Zhixian spoke for a quarter of an hour before officially announcing the start of the fifth session of the Boys' Club, the following is the lottery ceremony, by last year's top four lots, to determine the opponent of the first round, the bamboo stick down the end of the last four school names written last year, everyone hopes to draw Lushan Town School, that means the first round is easy to pass.

After Xuezheng Yao Wannian reiterated the rules, he walked in front of the masters of the four schools with a bamboo tube containing four sticks, the Yili Town School, the Tangyin County School Primary School, the Tangyin Wuben School, and the Weinan Town School.

The corresponding four branches are Longyang Town School, Yongji Township School, Lushan Town School and Tangbei Township School.

In fact, Tangyin County is far more than these eight schools, there are dozens of private schools, village schools, social studies, etc., the number of people is a little more than twenty or thirty, a little less than a dozen people, but there are only eight government-run primary schools.

Seeing that the lottery has begun, all the students looked at the four elementary school brothers in Lushan Town School, their eyes were full of banter, I don't know who can catch this fawn this year?

At this time, He Zhen, the master of Weinan Town, suddenly laughed, "I won the draw!" ”

Everyone understood what he meant, this year will be Weinan Town School against Lushan Town School, there was an uproar inside and outside the middle hall, Liu Zhixian coughed heavily with some dissatisfaction, He Zhencai realized his gaffe, and hurriedly apologized with a smile.

Liu Zhixian nodded and said, "Since it's all drawn, Xuezheng will announce it!" ”

Yao Wannian said loudly before leaving: "Now I announce the results of the lottery, Yili Town vs. Yongji Township, Tangyin County vs. Longyang Town, Tangyin Wuben vs. Tangbei Township, Weinan Town vs. Lushan Town, the time is tomorrow morning, the location is in the county school's diligence hall, even if you are late, you will give up admitting defeat." ”

Ending the ceremony in a noisy shout, the four students of Weinan Town hugged each other excitedly, as if they had won in advance, Yao Ding stepped forward and patted the shoulders of several of his apprentices and smiled: "Actually, we are lucky, we drew a lot." ”

Everyone smiled bitterly, they didn't meet the Yili Town School and Tangbei Township School in the first round, and their luck was good.

Yao Ding said again: "Later, Xuezheng will clarify the rules of debate and examination for the eight masters, and I will also participate, you go back to the inn to eat something by yourself, and write when you have time at noon, or read a book, don't run around outside." ”

The four of them agreed, and then walked outside with the crowd, and walked out of the county office, Wang Gui smiled at Yue Fei and Tang Huai: "Brother Qing and I want to go to the bookstore, can you go together?" ”

Tang Huai gave Wang Gui a kick, this kind of good thing actually has to be discussed with himself, the three of them looked at Yue Fei together, Yue Fei hesitated, then nodded and agreed, Reader! Who doesn't want to visit a bookstore.
