Jiang Ru followed Niu Xinzhang to the county, which is more prosperous than the town, there are more shops around, and there are all kinds of snacks and gadgets on the street.

The place where the hospital examination is located is in the government office, and the surrounding inns have long been rented.

For convenience, and because it is cheap, Jiang Ru rents a house in a relatively close place.

Every time there is an exam such as a college exam, the surrounding residents will vacate one or two houses to rent out to earn a few dollars for pocket money.

Jiang Ru and the others came two days in advance and familiarized themselves with the surrounding environment.

This is a habit that Jiang Ru brings to modern society.

When she was studying, every time there was a big exam, her parents had to bring her to familiarize herself with the surrounding environment and the examination room.

At this time, it was impossible to enter the examination room, Jiang Ru took Niu Xinzhang around outside twice, and he was almost regarded as a suspect.

The officials guarding outside the mansion all looked at them with suspicious eyes, if they hadn't seen Jiang Ru and them leave after walking half a circle, it was estimated that they would have to be arrested and interrogated.

Niu Xinzhang saw Jiang Ru walking around outside the mansion, and he was even more sure that she was casting some kind of spell, and his heart was settled.

He said secretly: It must be that she saw that I had always been good to Xiaomei, so she was moved and decided to reward me. Looks like I'm going to hit this time.

In this way, Niu Xinzhang has a very good mentality, and he looks confident when he enters the examination room.

During the exam, he felt that these questions were too simple, and he basically knew it, so he wrote like a god and wrote quickly.

The surrounding candidates saw that he was writing fast, and they were immediately nervous, wondering if they were writing too slowly, and hurriedly sped up.

There was a person who had a big mental collapse, and finally dropped his pen and stopped writing, glared at Niu Xinzhang hatefully, and was finally warned by the invigilator, hurriedly handed in the test papers, and waited at the door.

Niu Xinzhang was not affected, and after writing it, he slowly checked the name and seat number.

Before entering, the demon repeatedly told him to check it carefully and make sure to write his name, and there was a reason why.

Niu Xinzhang saw that the people who had finished writing and handing in the papers were standing at the door, and after thinking about it, he didn't hand in the papers in advance.

Those who submitted the papers in advance had to gather five people before leaving, which was still half a day before the end of the exam, and there were not many people who finished writing, so he didn't want to stand and wait.

So, he sat there and rubbed the time.

Later, an examiner saw that he was leisurely and a little obstructive, so he asked him to quickly hand in the paper and stand at the door.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for five people to gather before he left through the door.

The number of students admitted to the first session was twenty.

Soon a draft was posted, and Niu Xinzhang's seat number was located on it.

It is clear that the first one was passed.

Niu Xinzhang was not surprised at all, and was calm.

made many people present misunderstand that he didn't pass, and couldn't help but admire: this person has such a good mentality, he should be going to test the water.

The second retest will be on the third day.

This time, 10 out of 20 people will be selected for the exam, and they will have to submit their papers in a vague name.

Niu Xinzhang looked at the scroll and felt a little difficult, but most of it was still possible.

He is good at memorization, so there is basically no problem with memorization.

It's just that he's not very good at writing poems and articles,

When entering, Jiang Ru reminded him that no matter what, he had to finish writing and couldn't be free.

So he thought that there should be some flaw in this demon's spell, and if there was something unfinished, it might fail.

Therefore, he made up nonsense and quoted scriptures, and he wrote the volume to the full.

It will take three or four days to wait for the results, and then the county order will also set up a banquet to invite the talented people to eat and drink.

Jiang Ru was afraid that Niu Xinzhang, a scumbag son, would run out to spend all day drinking or run away if he didn't accompany him at that time, so he didn't go home and took Niu Xinzhang to wander around the county.

In order to curry favor with Jiang Ru, Niu Xinzhang bought Duan Xiaomei some head flowers and headdresses.

The money is naturally his own private money.

Every time he copied a book, Jiang Ru kept a small half of the money for him, and after accumulating it for more than a year, there was a lot.

Just like Jiang Ru imagined, Niu Xinzhang was on the list, and the person who reported the news soon came.

However, Niu Xinzhang was only the last place, which made Jiang Ru a little confused.

Is the college exam so difficult? The scumbag son memorized all the relevant books well, and he has done the questions several times in the past few years, and it feels good.

How did she know that the reason why Niu Xinzhang was last was because the examiner felt that his handwriting was too bad.

It is true that compared to ordinary people, Niu Xinzhang's words are quite upright.

But for the reader, his words are just unsightly.

If it weren't for the fact that his test papers were really good, the rest of them were relatively bad, and the examiner wanted to exclude him.

After that, the county magistrate set up a banquet and invited people who were talented, Niu Xinzhang went, and was trained to almost lose his temper, and he wanted to pick a son and quit.

Because he was reprimanded, the rest of the people in Xiucai were unwilling to have a deep friendship with him, and no one invited him after that.

Seeing this, Jiang Ru took him back.

returned to the countryside, because he went back quietly and quietly continued to open a private school, so everyone thought that Niu Xinzhang was not admitted.

After all, in their memory, they all have to come to report the good news when they are admitted to the Xiucai Mansion.

Because his children are studying at his place, they are embarrassed to ask, and they are not good to mention his sadness.

Therefore, except for Duan Xiaomei and Jiang Ru and the people of the Duan family, no one knew that Niu Xinzhang was admitted to Xiucai.

Time passed unconsciously, and the people in the village found that their children were much more well-behaved, and they spoke more reasonably, if they were not like the children in the country, they would be better off washing and putting on good clothes than the children in the town.

Li Xiaojiang studied with Niu Xinzhang for a year, and by the end of the year, he had already gone through the "Analects" and was basically able to memorize the "Analects".

His mother, Li Zhang, looked at her son who had changed greatly, so she secretly begged his mother-in-law, Sister Li, to send her son to the town to study.

She felt that her son could read so well in Niu Xinzhang, and if he went to the town to be taught by a famous teacher, he would definitely be even more powerful.

In her opinion, only Xiucai can be regarded as capable.

Sister Li hesitated a little.

Her grandson, Xiao Jiang, is indeed a bit talented, and since he has been studying, he looks more like a scholar than the rest of the village.

And Xiao Jiang studied hard and hard, even when he was working, he had words in his mouth, and he never slackened.

But Xiao Jiang was able to study at the beginning because of Xinzhang Niang, if he said that he wanted to go to the town to study now, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?

Li Zhang's didn't care about this, she said: "Mother, Xinzhang Niang will definitely not say anything." You see that our family Xiao Jiang learns quickly, and he has already learned the things in the stomach of the Xinzhang brothers.

Now I'm learning the old stuff again, turning it over and over again, isn't that a waste of time? And it's good that the Xinzhang brothers teach literacy, if they really want to teach, they don't have that ability, otherwise he would have been a talented man. ”

Sister Li was moved, but she still decided to wait for a new year.

After the New Year, before they could make a decision, the weather was abnormal.
