Xu Zhaoming has the stubbornness of not hitting the south wall and not looking back, although he knew that he lost, he still asked Gu Jin'an: "I was born in a rich family, and I have not done farm work since I was a child. I would like to ask, what is written in your theory of agriculture? ”

Gu Jinan very happily told what he wrote about the first policy of the county test.

Not only Xu Zhaoming, but also the other students present were also shocked, and the young master of the forest landlord's family asked: "The question of the strategy test is about farming, shouldn't you write about farming?" Why did you write about grain? ”

Gu Jinan smiled and asked rhetorically: "What is the purpose of farming?" Although my policy did not write about how to improve water conservancy and make it easier for farmers to farm, it did write about the foundation of farming. No matter what you do, the result is the most important, and the result is beneficial to the country and the people. ”

After hearing this, Old Man Xu was shocked, and sighed in his heart, this Gu Jinan is really amazing, his eyes are too poisonous, he has already seen the root of cultivation, and the strategy he wrote this time is to write about how to artificially process some crops that look unpalatable and turn them into preserved food for the people.

Just this policy, Gu Jinan is a well-deserved county head.

Old Man Xu is convinced, and Xu Zhaoming is also convinced, but he has always been arrogant, and he grew up flattered, and he couldn't pull his face down to give in to Gu Jin'an for a while.

Old man Xu knew that his grandson couldn't pull his face, so he hit him with a cane: "You lost twice today, Brother An doesn't care about you, you should always thank someone." ”

Xu Zhaoming couldn't, so he could only come over and salute Gu Jin'an: "So, thank you, Brother Gu." ”

He kept his head down when he spoke, not daring to look at Gu Jin'an, it was really embarrassing.

Gu Jinan didn't want to have multiple enemies, so he returned a salute and said, "Brother Xu is serious. ”

Cheng Ge'er took advantage of his eldest brother's inattention, took a piece of lotus lotus crystal cake and ate it, and stood by and watched them.

In order to ease the scene, Old Man Xu looked at him with a smile, and said very kindly: "You are Brother Cheng, you are really a very handsome little Langjun, I heard that I have been studying with a Confucian from Jiangnan recently......"

Speaking of this, Old Man Xu paused, yes, the great Confucian from Jiangnan, you have to have a good relationship with the Gu family, and let Brother Ming go to the class with that great Confucian.

Thinking like this, Old Man Xu became more kind, walked over, hugged Brother Cheng, and praised: "What a good child, at first glance, you two brothers look alike, if Brother Cheng is older, you brothers stand together, look like twins, blessed." ”

Brother Cheng was held in the arms of Old Man Xu, his little face was flattened, he wanted to struggle and was afraid of hurting the old man, so he could only look at his eldest brother like asking for help: Woo woo, big brother save me, I just want to watch a play, I don't want to act with him.

Gu Jinan smiled, didn't help Brother Cheng, but said to Old Man Xu: "Don't be quick with him, he is very skinny, and he can cause some small trouble if he doesn't stare at it." ”

Old Man Xu saw Gu Jinan taking care of himself, and praised him even harder.

Xu Zhaoming's face was flushed, and he couldn't stay any longer, so he dragged Old Man Xu and said, "Grandpa, the ranking is out, let's go home." ”

Old Man Xu: "What's the matter, I haven't eaten this banquet yet, hurry up and sit down, eat the banquet, and celebrate your high school." ”

Old Man Xu has lived all his life, and he knows that he must be able to bend and stretch, but Xu Zhaoming can't, a proud person like him has suffered two big blows in a day, and it is already the limit to be able to apologize to Gu Jin'an, where can he still have the face to sit down and eat?

Xu Zhaoming saw that Old Man Xu was reluctant to go, so he turned around and left.

Old Man Xu was very angry and scolded: "You stinky boy, you come back for me!" ”

But Xu Zhaoming went downstairs without looking back.

Old Man Xu could only apologize for Gu Jin'an for him: "Brother An, don't mind, he has been spoiled by his family since he was a child, and he doesn't know much about human feelings. ”

Gu Jinan said: "I don't dare to take care of it, but our two families are from the same county, and when we go out, we are fellow villagers, so we will naturally take care of each other." ”

When Old Man Xu heard this, he looked at Gu Jin'an, he really wished that this was his own grandson, look at how atmospheric this kid is, unlike Brother Ming, he is stingy, and he can't pull his face.

Eh, he's going to have to go back to teaching.

looked at Qi Kangming again, there is also a Ming character in the name of this posterity, but it is the opposite of Brother Ming, and he is also a person who can bend and stretch.

Old man Xu was a little congested, he originally thought that his grandson was the first in the county, but now the more he looks at it, the more he feels that he is inferior to others.

Old Man Xu couldn't stay any longer, and said to the little guy: "Bring the reward silver and give it to the person who announces the good news." ”

The porter was waiting to get the reward, and when he heard this, he nodded and held his hands.

The little servant of the Xu family hurriedly took out a silver bag, took out a tael of silver from it, and handed it to the porter.

The porter was very happy, the good news was really the most profitable, and after a while, he earned a tael of silver, and he had two months' wages: "Thank you Master Xu, thank you Master Xu." ”

The little servant of the Xu family took out another five taels of silver and handed it to the official who came to report the news.

Xiao Yang and the three of them accepted it, but Luo Wu confiscated it, he didn't lack this bit of silver, and no matter how much he said that the Xu family had bullied Brother An, what was the matter with him taking the Xu family's silver again?

Luo Wu looked at Gu Dexing, who was nervous, and said, "Brother Xing, you have passed the test, and you are the fifth in the county exam." ”

He said to Young Master Qu again: "You are the fourth place in the county exam." ”

Young Master Qu was self-taught by his uncle and father, and it was not surprising that he was able to take the county exam.

Gu Dexing was shocked when he heard it: "...... Fifth, fifth? It's true? ”

When he saw the good news, he only said the top three, and he thought that he didn't get in, but he didn't expect to be the fifth in the county exam.

Luo Wu nodded: "Well, it's indeed the fifth in the county exam." ”

Gu Dexing was overjoyed, and smirked vigorously, he didn't have to be scolded by his second aunt when he went home this time.

However, the surprises are not over.

Luo Wu looked at Gu Qingtian and Gu Qingliang again, and said, "You also passed the exam, but you are only the fiftieth and forty-ninth." ”

Only 50 students were selected in the county examination, and all those outside the 50 were not on the list.

Gu Qingliang and Gu Qingtian, two cousins, were stunned, pointed at themselves, and said, "I, we also won?!" ”

Luo Wu smiled: "Well, I did hit it." ”

The two of them were also influenced by Gu Jin'an, Gu Jin'an's idea of countermeasures to solve the problem was very novel, and they studied with Gu Jinan for three years, so they naturally benefited a lot.

And Zheng County Ling cares about agricultural affairs, the two of them wrote more pragmatic policies, with Gu Jin'an's style, Zheng County Ling was quite satisfied, and gave them a good evaluation of their policies.

Gu Qingliang and Gu Qingtian didn't expect that they could pass the county exam, they were really happy to lose their souls, this is really a joy outside of them.
