On March 11, the county trial list was released, and Xu Xian and the four students of Muyang Academy who had formed each other made an appointment to watch the list together.

Although Xu Xian is confident that he can successfully pass the county test, after all, he can't be detached, and he still hopes that he can win the first place in the county test.

In addition to the glory of the county examination, there is also a great advantage, that is, in the next step of the government examination, as long as you do not make mistakes, you are basically guaranteed to pass the government examination. If you successfully get the first place in the government examination, the fame of Xiucai will be certain.

After Xu Xian and the four students gathered with each other, they walked towards the gate of the county school where the results were released while chatting, all deliberately avoiding guessing the results in advance.

Before arriving at the gate of the county school, there was already a dense crowd of people.

Qiantang County is a large county, with a large population and a developed economy, and the proportion of students studying exceeds that of ordinary counties, so there are many students who participate in the county examination.

In addition, the students' families surrounded the Zhang Bang wall even more.

Although Xu Xian and the others were not too late, they couldn't squeeze in at all, so they could only stand on the periphery and wait patiently.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, Xu Xian, who was chatting, suddenly heard the sound of gongs, drums, and suona coming from the wall of the list.

"It's on the list! It's up! ”

People suddenly shouted, and everyone crowded towards the wall.

Xu Xian and the others also wanted to squeeze over, but they were pushed further by the crowd instead, so they could only smile helplessly.

"It's ours that can't escape, and it's not too late for us to see when we disperse." A student who knots with each other.

He is more confident and sure that he can pass the county exam.

Xu Xian nodded: "Wait a little longer." ”

As soon as his voice fell, a shout came from under the wall with all his might: "Congratulations to Xu Xian Xu Hanwen High School!" Congratulations to Xu Xian Xu Hanwen High School! ”

It turned out that under normal circumstances, there would be no official singing list on the county test list, but Li Gongfu was worried that Xu Xian would squeeze into the crowd and work hard, so he asked the government drummer to help sing Xu Xian's ranking.

When Xu Xian heard this, he was slightly stunned, and he was secretly relieved in his heart.

"Congratulations, Brother Xu." The four students who had formed each other immediately shouted at Xu Xian.

This news is not unexpected, and everyone knows that it is a high probability that Xu Xian will win the first place in the county trial.

Xu Xian bowed his hand and saluted back: "Thank you, thank you, your names must also be on the list." ”

"Borrow Brother Xu's auspicious words." The four students who had formed a friendship politely bowed their hands.

Because they knew Xu Xian's ranking in advance, the four students couldn't hold it back, and they all changed their minds and squeezed towards the list wall.

Xu Xian stood outside and waited for them very easily.

Under the wall, some people are destined to be happy and some to cry, Xu Xian stood outside, seeing some people leaving quickly with joy on their faces, and some people leaving with sad and disappointed faces and even tears on their faces.

Overall, there are many more people who cry than laugh.

There are more than 1,300 candidates in Qiantang County, and only 120 have passed the county examination, and the admission rate is close to 10% (the admission ratio of the county examination refers to the Ming Dynasty).

Among the three stages of the children's examination, the county examination is still relatively good, after all, the number of admissions is nearly 10 percent, but the prefectural examination is very difficult. Because there is a fixed number of places for admission to the government examination.

For example, in an ordinary state capital, each of the several counties under its jurisdiction recommends seventy or eighty candidates, but this state capital only has about 100 places, and its fierce competition can be imagined.

The number of places in each state government examination is determined by the central government, which is politics, and the more people who do not refer to it, the more places there are.

Therefore, the government test is also called the government pass.

The college examination is relatively easy to pass, because the number of people admitted to the government examination is determined according to the number of people admitted to the college examination, which is generally double. That is, after passing the government examination, there is a 50% chance of becoming a real talent.

Xu Xian waited for about two pillars of incense, and the first student came out of the crowd.

Xu Xian greeted him and asked how his grades were, but the student shook his head in a low mood and said to Xu Xian: "Brother Xu, I have something at home, so let's go first." ”

"Stay safe on the road." Xu Xian understood his mood and did not keep him.

After the first student left, the remaining three students also came out one after another, two of them were on the list, and the last one also fell off the list, so he left gloomily and left first.

Five people are referenced, and three people are on the list, which is already a high percentage.

After the unsuccessful students left, Xu Xian and the two students on the list congratulated each other and laughed for a while, and they also separated.

After all, passing the county exam is a big deal, and everyone in the family is stretching their necks and waiting for news.

Xu Xian walked home happily, thinking to himself: I successfully won the first place in the county examination, and the government examination is basically guaranteed to pass, and the chance of becoming a talent is at least 50%. With this identity, when she saw the white lady in the West Lake on March 3, she was somewhat confident, and she was no longer a little white face who ate soft rice.

When he returned to his brother-in-law's house, the door was not closed, but Li Xu was standing at the gate waiting for his news.

"Sister, I'm on the list." Xu Xian said directly, he couldn't bear to make his sister anxious again, "And it's the head of the case." ”

"Thank God, Bodhisattva bless, thank you Jade Emperor Taishang Laojun......" Li Xu heard this, immediately turned his body to the side, gratefully clasped his palms together, and bowed to Tianji's head.

After thanking the many gods in the sky, she turned around and pulled Xu Xian with tears of joy: "Hanwen, you have worked hard, our Xu family has finally come out, and my father and mother should smile in the spirit of the sky......

Xu Xian was embarrassed, and secretly said in his heart, there are still two levels before he really achieves the fame of Xiucai. However, seeing that Li Xu was so happy and excited, it was naturally impossible for him to say it in a big way.

After Li Xu was happy for a while, he said: "Alas, it's a pity that your brother-in-law is not at home and can't know immediately. ”

"Hehe, sister, you are wrong." Xu Xian couldn't help but smile and said, "My brother-in-law is on an errand in the Yamen, maybe he knows it before me." ”

"Yes, you see I'm all happy and confused." Li Xu smiled.

While the sister and brother were talking, the neighbors nearby successively knew about the head of the county trial case of Xu Xian High School, and they came to congratulate them.

Li Xu had already prepared the money and candy, and while smiling from ear to ear, he accepted the congratulations and compliments of the neighbors, and generously distributed the money and candy.

When the adults got the money, they all smiled and said good things about congratulations, and the children got the candy and left to play in groups.

In the evening, Li Xu made a sumptuous dinner, and Li Gongfu also came back to eat.

After most of the day's buffer, Li Gongfu's joy calmed down a lot, congratulated Xu Xian with a red face, and pulled Xu Xian to drink a glass of wine.

However, after Li Gongfu had eaten, he picked up his saber and left in a hurry to go to the Yamen.

The case of the loss of treasury silver is not trivial, as a catcher, he was ordered to die by Yang Zheng, the magistrate of the county, and the thief must be found, and the pressure is huge.

Although Xu Xian knew who stole the silver and even knew the location, he was worried that it would affect the millennium date in Sanxi Lake in March, so he could only endure it.
