As for current affairs, it assesses governance skills and political opinions, and the range of questions raised is also much wider, with a total of five papers, covering all aspects of national governance, from national decrees to neighborhood disputes, and the elected scholars are also more capable of officials.

But this is beyond Liu Chenxing's control, she can only take the exam seriously and do her best.

In this way, after the current affairs exam, this year's county examination has also come to an end, and the next thing is to wait for the release of the list.

This release will not only announce the test results of Shi Wuce, but also determine the comprehensive results of this county examination, so the interval is longer.

For this county test, Liu Chenxing has been living in the county seat for eight nights, not counting the chewing of three meals a day, the accommodation fee alone went to Banguan, plus Anjia Village is too close to the county seat, and the results are the same when the list is released, and it coincides with the holiday of the Qingyang School where Liu Qingshan is located, so the day after the exam, the father and son went back to Anjia Village together.

It's really a golden nest, and a silver nest is not as good as your own kennel.

The hotels in the county town are all solid wood houses, and they are not as comfortable as their own farm yards.

Like a few days ago, Liu Baoer was in the same room, she had to go out early and return late, and Liu Baoer left in the last two nights, but her reputation for winning the top spot has been spread, and there are people everywhere who come to the hotel to see the strangeness, and they have to close the door and go out, so they are still the most comfortable at home.

But to be so clean, I have to thank Uncle Liu for covering up for their brothers and sisters, now no one in the village knows how well they did in the exam, and Liu Chenxing is also at home and no one disturbs him to spend his days leisurely.

Of course, the imperial examination is his only way out in ancient times, Liu Chenxing does not dare to relax in the slightest, waiting for the release of the list of days still get up early and practice in the morning, how to study in the past and how to study now.

In this way, the five days passed in a flash, and it was the day of the list.

The father and son got up early in the morning, and as soon as the gate of the county town opened, the three of them squeezed in one by one.

Come so early, of course, it's not to look at the list, but to set up a stall to sell mountain goods, after all, life has to go on, and the county has spent so much money, so you have to earn a few back.

Now that the weather is getting warmer day by day, the back mountain can finally go up, and the father and son went to the back mountain the day before.

The bamboo shoots in spring are upward, and where there is a bamboo forest, there are spiky bamboo shoots.

Dig a tender bamboo shoot, only to come out of the soil, but also with the fishy smell of the soil, but when the brown shell is peeled off, it is a fresh white bamboo shoot, a bite, fresh and crisp, for the people who eat a winter pickle and ancient Chinese cabbage - Chinese cabbage, the bamboo shoots in early spring are really a delicacy on the table at the moment.

The bamboo shoots in early spring, just like the vegetables and fruits that are only on the market in modern times, are always more expensive because they are the freshest.

But there are always people who want to try something new, and are willing to buy it and try some of it.

There is a saying that the market trend is changing rapidly, and only by being the first to eat crabs can you eat up the dividends.

When they were the only ones in the entire city who sold fresh and tender bamboo shoots, in less than a morning, the sixty catties of bamboo shoots in the back basket were sold for a low price, and sold for a high price of 15 wen per catty, and finally earned back the accommodation fee for the county test.

If the quarryed dendrobium petals are sold, the accommodation fee for the state test should be enough.

Liu Chenxing counted the accounts with a smile, and when he saw that Du Shiyou bought their dendrobium flowers with two silks and three hundred yuan, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.

She hurriedly asked Brother Ah to take out the five catties of bamboo shoots left in the bamboo back basket, and her mouth also slipped sweetly: "Uncle Du, this is the fresh bamboo shoots that Brother and I followed Aya to dig yesterday, you see that the shell on it still smells of earth, it is very crisp!" ”

Du Shiyou and the father and children of the Liu family have been in contact for eight years, they are old acquaintances of each other, the Liu family can do things again, and they come back to sell dendrobium flowers twice a year, and they have to bring him some agricultural and sideline products, some feelings have already been established, and they will not postpone it at the moment, so that the apprentice will accept the bamboo shoots, and said with a smile: "Then I will not accept it politely, this is about noon, you will stay in the pharmacy for lunch, I will let the apprentice steam the bamboo shoots!" ”

Liu Qianli is very real, even if five catties of bamboo shoots are worth more than seventy yuan, enough for their father and child to have lunch, but in his eyes, those bamboo shoots are worthless mountain goods, not to mention that the bamboo shoots are sent to thank you, how can you eat someone else's lunch, so he hurriedly stopped and said: "A few days ago, their brothers and sisters were reviewing at Brother Du's place, which was enough to disturb, how can they stay for lunch today." ”

Du Shiyou also has some family resources, and the reason why he has some friendship with the Liu family is that in addition to the dendrobium flowers that solved his urgent need at the beginning, he also valued the fact that they were not greedy for small gains, and couldn't help but invite more and more sincerely: "Liu Er, you are too outsider." Besides, a few days ago, their brother and sister borrowed my pharmacy backyard to review, and also gave me a rabbit skin vest, which is worth a lot of money, and I still get more benefits! Okay, without further ado, we'll have lunch together today. ”

Liu Qingshan knew his Aye's temperament, and when he saw Aya's embarrassed face, he agreed: "Then Uncle Lao Du will entertain him today." ”

The son agreed, and Liu Qianli only nodded and said, "I'll bother Brother Du at noon today." ”

The four of them were standing at the door of the pharmacy, and with the Liu family staying for lunch, Du Shiyou made a gesture to invite the father and son to enter the inner hall, and remembered that today's county trial list, but the Liu family brothers and sisters are still with him, most of them are not satisfactory in the exam, so they comforted: "I don't know how many people have failed in the county exam, especially those who need a certain amount of experience and practice, especially those who need a certain amount of experience and practice, and it is not easy to pass." So—"

Before he finished his sentence, he heard a sudden commotion outside the medicine store.

But from the noisy discussion, an old man's voice could be clearly heard laughing like a demon:

"I went to school at the age of fifteen, took the county exam at the age of twenty-eight, and have been taking the exam for 30 years now! Thirty years! In order to sell the house and land for the imperial examination, I don't want to involve my wife and children anymore, and I promise that this year will be the last reference...... Heaven is unfair! Once again, I stopped at Cewen...... It's ridiculous that a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl is the top of the high school list! Top of the list! Hahaha! ”

At the end of the laugh, his voice suddenly changed tone, and there was a crying sound gradually.

However, the onlookers didn't care about the old man in white crying and laughing, running and walking in the city with his hair in a messy bun, and they were all shocked by the fact that the top of this year's county exam was a woman.

"What!? This year's top of the list is a woman!? ”

"Not only a woman, but twelve or thirteen years old!?"

"Ahh A few days ago, in the two exams of the scriptures and essays, a twelve or thirteen-year-old female candidate won the top spot for a second time, what is it called...... Liu...... That's right! Liu Chenxing! ”

As soon as the old man heard Liu Chenxing's name, he seemed to be even more stimulated, and his pitched crying and laughter suddenly rose, "Hahaha!" Liu Chenxing! Liu Chenxing is at the top of the list! ”

After shouting, he suddenly burst into action and ran away.

Du Shiyou looked at the old man who ran past the door of his pharmacy like the wind, he looked back in a daze, looked at the girl in the gray cloth skirt who looked at him growing up, and it took a long time to find his voice, "Ah Xing, you are the top of the list." ”
