The third day of September is the date of the fifteenth year of Chenghua in Chun'an County. Although it has entered autumn, there are no fallen leaves yet, only the rustling autumn wind curling in the alley.

Before Hong Song and Xiang Chengxian went to take the exam, they came to find Fang Yingwu together. But Fang Ying said loudly: "To be a man, you must be ambitious!" This exam is unfair to me, and if you don't go, you won't go. ”

Hong and Xiang had to sigh and leave.

However, it was said that more than 80 county students came to participate in this annual examination, and they gathered outside the gate of the county school to wait for the roll call. Most of the rest of the students who did not show up have lost their enterprising spirit and have no intention of participating in the annual examination.

More than 80 students will compete for 30 township test quotas in the county school year examination, and those who succeed will be able to go to Hangzhou in August next year to participate in the autumn festival. Luck haode, at that time, you can go one step further and get rid of the identity of Xiucai and become a lifting master.

The rules of the Chun'an County School Year Examination are very simple, all students will be divided into six grades according to the test results, and the rewards and punishments are different for different grades.

As long as the most privileged student in the Xiucai examination passes the third class, he can directly obtain the township examination quota regardless of his rank, which is the greatest privilege of the twenty students.

Most of the non-graduate talents need to be in the top 10 to ensure that they can get other places. If there are still vacancies, they will continue to be filled according to the number of places.

However, no matter what kind of student he is, if he or she gets the fourth class or below, he will be regarded as unqualified and will be punished.

Hong Song and Xiang Chengxian each carried the exam basket, and the old god was standing in the crowd, they were both students, so the exam task was relatively easy. As long as you reach the third grade, you can pass the level.

It was a simple matter for the two of them. Whether you look at the level of the article or the prestige of your family, it is not a big problem. There is no need to be as weak as Fang Yingwu, who is not confident in the article and is a rookie.

Xu Huai appeared in front of Hong and Xiang. asked, "Did Fang Yingwu really give up the exam?" Hong Song replied quietly: "Naturally, it's true, what are you going to do?" ”

Xu Huai looked left and right suspiciously, he always had a feeling that Fang Yingwu would come out coldly, and then he would not have it.

At this time, Shen Xun, who was wearing a full crown belt, appeared in the middle of the hall, and Meng Jiaoyu stood next to him and was responsible for the roll call. Those whose names are called will be checked and then enter the examination room. Most of the exams in the national dynasty are all this routine. However, the scale and degree of leniency vary.

After ordering seven or eight people in a row, Meng Jiaoyu called the next person: "Huaxi Fang Yingwu!" ”

However, no one answered in the field, and Meng Jiaoyu called three times in a row, but no one answered, and this was the first person who could not be named. He reported to Shen Xun: "The material has not arrived. ”

Shen Xun pressed that there was a list of students in front of him, and those who did not appear would be crossed out of the list. But Shen Xun didn't rush to cross out Fang Yingwu's name, but first turned his head and asked Meng Jiaoyu: "Why hasn't Fang Yingwu arrived?" Are you sure you have dropped the test? ”

Meng Jiaoyu thought about it, and decided to truthfully repeat what Fang Yingwu had said to the patrol, "That Fang Yingwu said. He felt overwhelmed by the recent disturbances, so he withdrew from the annual examination. ”

Shen Xun pressed and wondered: "What rumors?" The official had not heard of it. ”

Meng Jiaoyu secretly scolded a few words. Don't you really know? It's just that I want to clear myself, so I deliberately pretend not to know? These are powerful officials. None of them are simple characters!

In the crowd, Xu Huai waited anxiously for Meng Jiao's name to point out Fang Yingwu, and then found that Fang Yingwu really did not appear. Daxiao three times full of joy.

Although he is of average talent, he was lucky when he took the exam last year. I got a first-class result in the exam. According to the rules, the first class of the annual examination can be directly made up for the meal. But because the county is full of students, he can only be an alternate all the time.

Now that Fang Yingwu has given up the exam, then he has not participated in the annual exam for two consecutive years, and according to the rules, he will be a member of the enlarged students. In other words, a place has been vacated, and he Xu Huai can logically make up for it! Then as long as you are in the third class in this year's annual examination, you will further get the township examination solution.

Therefore, for Xu Huai, a former student who has been hit several times and has no hope, it is really an unexpected joy, Fang Yingwu actually gave up by Allah, just cheap his opponent, and the joy of life is nothing more than this.

However, he said that this annual test has not been shocked since then, and the topic is a four-book question and an optional five-book question. In his life, he usually answered the papers, handed in the papers usually, and left the examination room usually, and everything was lackluster.

The list will be released three days later, and the grade will completely determine the life trajectory of more than 80 students in the county school in the next one or two years.

Time passed in a flash, and when it was time to release the list, Hong Song and Xiang Chengxian went to the county school to watch the list together. Dozens of people were already standing in front of the photo wall, waiting for the list to be posted.

At this time, the crowd was much more relaxed and lively than on the day of the exam, and Xu Huai was boasting to himself in the crowd: "Brother, I used a little trick and put a few rumors, so that Fang Yingwu was helpless, so he could only leave gloomily!" This is the strategy of the army in the art of war, the soldier who surrenders without a fight. ”

There were quite a number of old people who gathered around Xu Huai again, and they shouted a few hello when they heard the words.

Xu Huai continued to be arrogant and said: "Therefore, in this year's exam, I will probably make up for Fang Yingwu's student quota." After the list is released, I invite all of you to have a drink to celebrate! ”

Xiang Chengxian glared at Xu Huai from afar, and then asked Hong Song: "He said that he consciously spread rumors, is it true or false?" ”

Hong Gongzi thought for a moment and denied: "Senior Xu is eighty percent bragging, and he is not credible at all. Think about it, how majestic is this patrol according to the imperial history, how can it be controlled by just one Xu Huai? What kind of courage does Xu Huai have to use the imperial history to make a fuss?

I guess that Xu Huai was rectified by Fang Yingwu three times and twice, which can be described as a complete loss of face and prestige. So since he has returned to the county school, he has to think of ways to get this face back.

So he had to make up some rhetoric, desperately proving that he had made the strategy to squeeze Fang Yingwu away, and then he naturally became the winner and regained the lost face. ”

The two were discussing when they suddenly heard several gongs inside. This is probably a handyman who came out to post the list. So they kept silent and looked closely.

The county school year examination is not included in the official imperial examination. It's just a qualification exam within the county school, and it's arbitrary. The list is also not very formal, but it does not affect the viewing.

This list not only takes care of the ranking of the best students, but also takes care of the needs of the top students, it is a list of successes, a list of victories, and a list of harmony.

Hong and Xiang quickly glanced at each other, and both found their names at the front of the list. Hong Song's score was second-class, and Xiang Chengxian's score was third-class, and both of them won the township test. After I go back, I can start preparing for next year's township exam.

This result was expected, and it was not worth being too happy, Hong Song said to Xiang Chengxian: "Let's go, have a drink with Brother Fang Xian at noon, and see him off when he leaves the county." ”

Xiang Chengxian turned a deaf ear and stood still. Hong Song urged several times in a row, but Xiang Chengxian still didn't move his steps, but pointed to the list on the wall and said, "It seems that something strange has mixed in."

Hong Song followed Xiang Chengxian's fingers and looked at the end of the list of names in the third rank. Impressively written "Fang Yingwu" three small characters. There is also a note next to it: Tentatively third class, pending make-up exam.

Hong Song was stunned as if he had seen a ghost, and he couldn't believe it for a long time.

He and Xiang Chengxian both dared to swear to the sky. In the past few days, Fang Yingwu has stayed in the courtyard honestly, without any abnormal behavior, and has definitely not carried out any operations for the New Year's test. is really planning to leave the county seat and study hard behind closed doors.

So how could such a weird thing happen? The examiner Shen Xun pressed weishenme and let Fang Yingwu go for no reason? It is said that it is "tentatively waiting for the make-up examination", but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see it. This is actually a make-up examination form, and then officially included in the third class.

Just a few moments. Dozens of people present noticed the names of the people at the end of the third-class column, and they were all surprised, and even had a feeling of shock. This party should also be elusive, just a county school year test, actually played a changing suspense film style.

Xu Huai is still in the mood to continue bragging, he just wants to brag, and there must be facts as a basis. He rushed forward in three steps and two steps, and the whole person was almost lying on the list, trying in vain to prove that he was dazzled.

But no matter how you look at it, the name Fang Yingwu appears in the third-class column. He knew very well that the third class meant that Fang Yingwu had passed the annual examination this year, so there was no need to be demoted, and it also meant that his wish to make up for the new student was shattered again!

The people who were surrounding Xu Huai just now to listen to his bragging quietly and spontaneously dispersed a few steps away from Xu Huai. Looking at the depressed former Xueba, everyone couldn't help but feel emotional, in front of the unfathomable classmate Fang, if Senior Xu can be reliable, then the sow can also go up the tree.

Hong Song and Xiang Chengxian trotted all the way to the outer courtyard of Xiang's house, but saw that Fang Yingwu had already moved the cage to the middle of the hall, and Sister Lan next to her was handing a soft package on the table.

Xiang Chengxian rushed forward, pulled Fang Yingwu into the courtyard, and pulled him out of the gate. He shouted: "Brother Fang Xian, go to the county school to have a look." ”

Fang Yingwu shook off Xiang Chengxian and said, "I said before, you must be ambitious!" This time, I want to go to Tiju College to study, and before I succeed in learning, I will not step into the county school in three years! ”

Xiang Chengxian slapped Fang Yingwu excitedly, "You are big!" Three years you're big! Your name is listed on the annual exam list, and you are the same as me in the third class, and we should prepare for the township exam! ”

"How is this possible!" Fang Yingwu exclaimed, how can there be a reason in the world not to go to the exam, but there is a reason for the results to come out?

Xiang Chengxian replied: "Do you think we are so boring that we deliberately tricked you to come?" It's also said on the list, tell you to take the make-up exam! We really want to ask you, what's going on? ”

Fang Yingwu didn't answer, and fell into hard thought, today's list is too unexpected, what kind of conspiracy is it? But he thought about it, but he still had no clue, Fang Yingwu felt that his IQ was not enough for the first time since he crossed over.

Hong Song didn't speak for a long time, he had been carefully observing Fang Yingwu's demeanor, and Zuihou came to a conclusion that there was no flaw until this Hong Gongzi believed that Fang Yingwu really didn't know about today's list, otherwise he would never have reacted like this.

At this time, if Fang Yingwu can still act to such a realistic level, it is simply Wang Mang and others who have not usurped the throne, and they have been deceived and admitted. (To be continued......)
