Chapter 24: Meeting

The hot summer has passed, and the land has ushered in a cool autumn.

Autumn girl picked up a magic paintbrush and painted the leaves red, yellow, and light red...... A wide variety of colors that turn into a beautiful picture.

is finally going to participate in the "Autumn Festival", Li Ling is very excited, he has been preparing for several months, isn't it just for this opportunity?

The county school suddenly burst into flames, and there were many people who came to sign up for the township examination.

After a visual inspection, there were hundreds of people in front of him!

"Did you hear that? This time, the chief examiner in charge of Nanfu is not an ordinary Hanlin, he was also born as a champion back then, I don't know if there will be a few more places to lift people, maybe you and I can be among them! ”

"Dream on you, the two Zhili are a hundred places, and they can be changed because of the live examiner, hey, now participating in the township test has become a habit of mine, as for whether you can be lifted, it depends on the will of God!".

The first two Xiucai, who had passed the year of establishment, muttered quietly, which also let Li Ling know some inside information about the township test in advance.

Although the two people in front of them were feeling sorry for themselves, Li Ling definitely didn't dare to underestimate them, if they were able to pass the scientific examination and have the qualifications to participate in the township examination, they were better than many talents.

Li Xiucai is also a little lucky, fortunately the township examination will be held this year, otherwise he would have to take the scientific examination to obtain the qualification for the examination, with the grandmaster's disgust for him, it is strange that he will be allowed to pass!

After waiting for more than an hour before it was his turn to go through the formalities, after some checking, the formalities were finally completed, and when he looked up at the sky, it was almost noon, and his stomach was a little hungry.

Just make do with the county school's cafeteria, Li Ling recalled carefully, he hadn't been to the county school's canteen for several months.

Xu is because today is the day of registration for the township test, today's food is obviously much better than he remembers, everyone is the best among the talents, naturally not too shabby, the person in charge of the county school does not take the opportunity to make a big profit, naturally choose expensive food to do.

The talents who have signed up for the name are relaxed, and there are not a few people who choose to stay in the county to learn and eat, and they talk about it one by one, as if they can get fame at their fingertips.

Randomly found a corner with few people to sit down, Li Ling suddenly found that there was a vicious gaze fixed on him, and when he looked up, he saw that it was a young man of the same age as himself standing next to the dinner table and glaring at him angrily.

Opposite him sat a leisurely fat man, enjoying his lunch, although it was just a bowl of clear soup noodles and two plates of green vegetables, but the fat man still looked very enjoyable.

Li Ling was hungry, where would he pay attention to the eyes of a little guy, he put his bowl of white rice on the table, and ate it with chicken soup.

The fat man frowned, smelled the heat wafting over, and then said to the little guy next to him: "Jixiang, bring me two more double-headed abalones!" ”。

The little maid's face turned red, and he walked over from the table with his head down, and slowly walked to the window where the food was sold.

The crowd suddenly became a sensation, first some children who had been studying in the county for a long time, and then the talents who came to sign up.

The little girl's face turned even redder, and he whispered a few words to the master who was cooking, and the students burst into laughter, and even some restless children began to whistle at the little girl.

The little guy picked up the plate and ran back, completely ignoring the nonsense of a group of classmates behind him.

When the plate was placed on the table, Li Ling realized that it was a double-headed abalone, but two pickled radish pieces.

"This is not a salted radish, this is a double-headed abalone."

The fat man read it carefully three times before closing his eyes and using his chopsticks to pick up the pickles on the plate, looking very intoxicated

The sweat on the little girl's face immediately came out, and after he went back, he discussed with the big housekeeper that he would never be the young master's scholar again in the future, it was too embarrassing.

"Brother Tai is also here to sign up, do you want to taste my double-headed abalone?"

After eating a few bites casually, the fat man talked to Li Ling.

"That's interesting!".

Muttering in a low voice, Li Ling recited the incantation three times like a fat man, and then put the radish in his mouth, which was still salty

The fat man looked at each other with interest, he was the first person who did not scold himself for being a madman.

The originally bustling cafeteria suddenly fell silent, and a middle-aged man in a teacher's clothes walked in with a serious face, followed by several students.

"This person is a new teacher, called Wuhu, usually the most serious, even when everyone eats, he also checks, everyone is about to collapse, and many people simply don't come to the county to learn in order to avoid him!". As soon as the fat man saw Li Ling's ignorant look, he knew that he didn't understand Teacher Wu's power, so he hurriedly explained, so as not to be caught by the handle when he got it.

"Wuhu, what a good name, I don't know what his brother's name is, his father is so talented!". Thinking that this teacher Wu might have an elder brother named Oolong, Li Ling laughed out loud.

"Oops!". The fat man secretly screamed bitterly in his heart, and he began to think about whether to stay away from this friend he had just made, offending a character like Wuhu would have no good fruit to eat.

"Who's laughing? It's presumptuous, am I funny? ”。 Teacher Wu searched the hall angrily for a while, and finally locked on Li Ling's body.

A student stepped forward and whispered to Mr. Wu.

Li Ling secretly screamed badly, and he found that the two big opponents Ma Wencai and Liu Fu standing next to Mr. Wu were actually Ma Wencai and Liu Fu.

"You are Li Ling, you just passed the government exam this spring, and you haven't come to the county school since you got Xiucai?" Mr. Wu asked loudly.

The fat man's eyes lit up, this person was the eldest son of the Li family, he found out the evidence of the house slave's embezzlement of the Li family's property alone at a young age, and his clever father also appreciated it.

"You have to be careful, Mr. Wu was recommended by Ma Xiancheng, he must be embarrassed for you!" The little guy next to him reminded Li Lingdao.

He followed his eldest young master to study here, naturally he had also heard of the grievances between the Li family and Ma Xiancheng, the two parties swore to share the same fire, and Mr. Wu would not let go of this opportunity to teach the enemy a lesson.

"In the cafeteria, you fight and frolic loudly, like a swarm of rats. It's insulting to Sven, and you Li Ling, actually openly laughed at the teacher, don't say that you are just a little talent, even if you are treated by others, you have to be respectful! ”。 Mr. Wu buttoned down a big hat, and he took advantage of the righteousness first, so that Li Ling had no way to refute!

"Li Xiucai thinks that he will definitely get ahead in this Nanfu, where will he put a county school in his eyes, let's ask him for a pair of ink treasures before he makes a fortune!" Ma Wencai fanned the flames on the side.

Mr. Wu is usually serious, what he can't stand the most is that the students don't respect him, this pedant is also a teenager, he was a teenager and won the show, but the years have passed, he has taken several township exams in a row and has not been lifted.

I had no choice but to entrust Ma Xiancheng to find a position in the county school. Any student here who has an upward ambition can be lifted, which is the last thing he wants to face, in other words, he has some low self-esteem.

The walls on both sides of the dining room are full of words, these are the best in the county school left by the ink treasure, most of the predecessors have been lifted, and even many of them have been born as jinshi. Ma Wencai said this, it is clear that he is squeezing him.

A second-class talent, although qualified to participate in the township examination, may not be able to win.

"Yes, write one and let everyone see what level you are!". Mr. Wu didn't believe that a fifteen-year-old child could have the real talent to impress everyone.

"Write one and we'll see!".

"Write one!".

I don't know who wrote and shouted, the whole canteen was boiling, and the scholars wanted to see if this master of accounting had real skills.

The fat man was also excited, it was rare for everyone to have the same goal, and he quickly let his scholar take out the four treasures of the study.

"Dude, give me a face, come one!".

Li Ling couldn't afford to flinch now, so he had to take over the pen and ink and write two lines on the paper.

Mr. Wu almost fainted when he walked in, and a couplet was clearly visible: rats are called old regardless of size; Turtles have both male and female surnames.

Ma Wencai's teeth itched: "No matter how talented you are, how can you say that the grandmaster is also in the same exam, he will not let you succeed!" ”。
