And his parents lived with him, but they were also hospitable as usual, and when they saw him visiting, they took the initiative to tell their son to entertain guests, so as not to make the family feel stingy.

The black-faced scholar naturally patted his chest and assured that when he saw that he hadn't eaten, he prepared some wine and food, which moved Su Yulong a lot.

At the dinner table, the black-faced scholar was naturally curious to ask him about the reason for his visit at night, and Su Yulong also briefly mentioned his current situation, but he didn't expect the other party to be indignant, and slapped the table and said, "I can't imagine that there is such a ruthless person in the world!" Brother Su, don't worry, you will live with me temporarily these days. Although my family is not wealthy, it is no problem to raise an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks. ”

"It's too much trouble for you!" Su Yulong didn't expect the other party to be so enthusiastic.

"What's the trouble!" The black-faced scholar shook his head, "You and I are both friends, and we are classmates in the exam together, so you don't have to take these little favors to heart at all!" What's more, just talking about the few words you taught me today, maybe I can make a breakthrough in this exam, which money can't buy! ”

The other party was gracious, so Su Yulong also agreed, but he also kept this kindness in his heart and didn't dare to forget it.

In this way, there is no need to worry too much about housing and transportation during this period.

————————————————

Time flies, a period of time passes in the blink of an eye, and the county test finally came to an end today.

The remaining four exams during the period were also carried out smoothly, without too many unexpected turmoil, basically just waiting for tomorrow's announcement, and it was also the day that only more than 100 candidates were looking forward to after being selected at all levels.

Su Yulong passed the first four games without danger, and the questions in the fifth game were also the last few questions in the ghost town exam as before, he did not copy them, but relied on his own knowledge to write a new article. Although he may have some shortcomings, he also feels that he has played well and should be on the list.

It's a pity that the black-faced scholar was screened in the fourth game and unfortunately fell off the list.

It's just that the other party, who has always been optimistic and cheerful, laughed and said that he didn't take it to heart, and joked, "I lost the third game last year, and this year is the fourth, won't there be a chance to pass the fifth game next year?" ”

Of course, no one knows what the actual future will be, but this kind of mind is very admirable.

And after the other party fell off the list, he also paid more attention to what Su Yulong's exam would be, and seemed to be looking forward to tomorrow's announcement of the list more than himself.

In the early morning of the next day, Su Yulong went to the county seat with him, waiting for the officials to post the list today.

At this time, there were already many scholars in the streets and alleys, and the tea shop and tavern on the side were full of people, including both the candidates this time, and many ordinary people who were waiting to inquire about the head of the county this time.

It's unlikely that they'll be related, but it's a good opportunity to add to the conversation after dinner.

At the same time, there are also business-minded guys who set up gambling games in the corners of the streets, just to bet on who is the culprit of the case.

"I guess, it's the prodigy surnamed Hu! Although that guy is not very old, but Wencai is what we have to be ashamed of, and some teachers praised him for at least being able to pass the exam, and now it shouldn't be difficult for this small county to try to get the first case...... "A person discussed, and put some broken silver on the gambling game, "I'll bet on him!" ”

"Hmph, although the prodigy surnamed Hu is good, he is young in the end, I guess it's that Chen Sheng! His literary talent is also far beyond ordinary people, maybe the county magistrate took a fancy to this and hired him? Another retorted, "I'll take him!" ”

Su Yulong glanced curiously when he passed by, but he was a hot candidate on it, and his name was nowhere to be seen.

No one would think that an unknown kid would take the lead.

He wasn't disappointed, but felt normal. Turning around, he sat down in a free seat with the black-faced scholar who was a little nervous and excited, quietly waiting for the final moment.

He had also noticed before that Su Minghu had already fallen off the list in the third game, so he didn't have to worry about meeting the other party at this time.

After a long time, the gate of the county government finally opened slowly, three gongs and drums sounded, and then two small officials walked out holding a red list paper high and pasted it on the wall in the eyes of all the people.

Unlike the first four exams, this last and most important one, the names are not sorted by exam number, but by rank. That is, the first ten names are the best in the county examination, and it can be basically determined that they can get the quota of Xiucai, and the next forty people are children, and they still need to go through the government examination to become Xiucai.

And at the front, the name of the red circle was also circled by the county order, which is the head of the county test!

"Unveiled!"

The little official sang, his eyes swept over the crowd in front of him, and slowly removed the yellow cloth covering the list, and displayed the list in front of everyone!

In an instant, the crowd began to boil!

or crying, or screaming in surprise, or losing souls, or dancing......

The various states of life seem to be condensed in these people in front of them.

"I'm in! I'm in! ”

"Alas, I didn't hit again, it looks like I'll have to wait until next year......"

The crowd was extremely crowded at the moment, and although Su Yulong had tried very hard to squeeze inside, he could only barely see some words, trying to identify them from the last name, trying to find his name.

Two rows in one row......

His gaze swept slowly, but his heart gradually sank, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"Why is it still not my name? Could it be that you are not off the list? ”

At this moment, he only felt that his breathing was a little shorter, and coupled with the crowded environment, he couldn't breathe for a while, and his hands and feet were numb.

However, at this moment, the black-faced scholar behind him suddenly grabbed his shoulders tightly, and the force was so great that he felt a little pain.

He looked back with some pain, but saw that the other party was looking at the list with a blank face, and he seemed to be muttering something but couldn't hear it clearly, and he didn't notice his movements.

He listened carefully, and only then did he vaguely hear a few words "the head of the case......"

"Case-head?"

Su Yulong's heart jumped suddenly, and he saw that the black-faced scholar seemed to come back to his senses, and shouted to him with a look of ecstasy, "Brother Su, you are the head of the case!" The head of the case! ”

Su Yulong couldn't listen to the next words, he just followed the other party's line of sight towards the name at the top of the list, the three most familiar words "Su Yulong" had been transformed into the world in his eyes, and it seemed to fall into his heart like a tangible thing, making his brain go blank in an instant!
