Chapter 164: Registration
In this regard, Su Yulong didn't say much, he didn't say anything else this time, Xiucai had to be admitted, otherwise how could he be worthy of the girl who cared about him?
Thinking of the emaciated appearance he saw that night, his heart couldn't help but tighten, and he couldn't help but replace her.
By the time the carriage arrived near the county office, there were not as many people queuing up here as a few days ago, but there were also about a dozen scholars standing in line silently against the sun, and some small vendors next to them had already set up a tea house with a lot of business minds, and the business of selling herbal tea was so lively that they couldn't keep their mouths shut.
Don't dare to drive close to the county office, that is also disrespectful. A few people packed up and got out of the car, and rushed to line up.
It was only at this time that the scholars who were traveling with them seemed to have discovered a little bit of Su Yulong's wrongness.
"That's right...... Brother Su, why are you the only one? What about your classmates? "They were a little confused.
These few of them came together as guarantors, but seeing that Su Yulong was alone, it was inevitable that they felt strange.
Even if there is a life as a guarantee, then there is no trace of it!
Su Yulong didn't know how to answer for a while, he only knew that Zhou Shize had given him a guarantee and told him that he only needed to sign up directly, but when he was asked at this time, he felt that he was a little unique from others.
He just vaguely said, "I have my own way......"
Although the others were a little puzzled, they didn't ask any more when they saw him say this.
Soon, after the team of sign-ups moved slowly, it was Su Yulong's turn.
"Report your name to ......"
The clerk in charge of registration recorded impatiently, after all, the weather was really hot and unbearable, and the information of dozens or hundreds of literati had to be registered every day, so it was good if his hand was not tired.
In the face of these officials, the black-faced scholar and several others also lost the ease they were when they were on the carriage, but became much more restrained, and only reluctantly reported their names and identities, and recorded their physiognomy and characteristics.
At the end, a small official who was in charge of polishing the pen next to him picked up the paper and looked at it carefully, and the hand that originally picked up the test card was put down again, and knocked on the table, as if intentionally or unintentionally, "How many of you are together?" How long have you been reading? ”
"Yes......"
The black-faced scholar agreed, as if he hadn't reacted yet, and then a scholar behind him was a little smarter, stretched out his hand and handed out a little money, and said with a smile, "Official, this is for you to buy tea and drink......
"Hmm."
The little official nodded with satisfaction, weighed and weighed it, accepted the coin, and handed the exam card to a few people, "Look at how many of you are still honest, take good care of it, if you lose it, you will be punished!" ”
"Yes yes yes ......"
Only then did a few people retreat, and it was Su Yulong's turn.
At this time, he also saw the scene just now, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
He didn't have any money with him, and if he was troubled, he didn't know what to do.
"Someone who came and gave their names." The little official took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said casually.
"The villain's name is Su Yulong, and he is from Xiping Village......"
Su Yulong said word by word, thinking about what would happen if he was asked to "be filial and honorable" later, but suddenly saw that the little official in front of him suddenly squirted out a mouthful of water, almost wetting the paper on the table.
"What's wrong?" Su Yulong was a little stunned, and when he saw the little official looking at him with a ghostly look, his heart was furious, and he didn't know if he had said something wrong and angered the official.
"You...... Is it Su Yulong? ”
The little official rarely stood up instead of posing, and looked him up and down carefully, looking not angry, but curious.
"Exactly." Su Yulong didn't know what was going on, but replied honestly.
"Wait here first, I'll report it."
The little official said this, turned around and went to the inner office, leaving behind everyone with blank faces.
The black-faced scholar was a little strange, and asked quietly, "Brother Su, could it be that you have acquaintances in this county office?" ”
"Nope." Su Yulong shook his head, but suddenly remembered Zhou Shize's words before, and suspected that it might have something to do with it.
In the inner office, Liu Xianling got the news of the little official, and knew that Su Yulong, who was the guarantor of Zhou Shize, had come to sign up, and he was a little curious in his heart, and he wanted to take a look, but he still stopped thinking about it.
"Now that the outside are all candidates for this county exam, if the official goes out at will to talk to Su Yulong, it's hard to say if he will fall into any tricks......
Thinking like this, he did not go out to meet, but asked about the person's appearance and temperament.
When he heard that the other party was just dressed as a peasant boy, with an honest and honest face, and he didn't look like a talented person at all, he was even more surprised.
"Strange, why did Zhou Broad & Bright come to protect this person?"
He couldn't come up with a clue after thinking about it for a while, so he put it aside for the time being, after all, this is someone else's business, why should he bother to investigate it again, he just needs to sell his favor.
A few people outside were waiting for a long time, and it took a long time to see the little official come back, Su Yulong asked a little uneasy, "Official, I don't know if there is anything wrong with me?" ”
The little official hurriedly smiled and replied, "What's wrong, it's just that Lord Liu has heard your name, so I specially told the villain to wait for you to report when you come to register." I wanted to see you, but I just gave up because the exam was about to avoid suspicion......"
As he spoke, he handed him the registered exam card, not only did he not ask for any filial piety fee, but his attitude turned 180 degrees and he was much more respectful.
"Heard my name?"
Su Yulong was a little stunned, but even though he remembered Zhou Shize's words, he secretly said that was indeed the case.
It's just that the scholars who came with him on the side didn't understand, and when they heard this, they thought that this Su Yulong was a famous talent, and when they remembered Fang Cai's frog-like words at the bottom of the well, they suddenly confessed with some trepidation.
Su Yulong smiled bitterly and said, "You have misunderstood, I am just a countryman like you, where is there any great reputation." Maybe it's just that one of my older brothers mentioned me in front of the prefectural magistrate, so I was remembered. ”
Despite this, it is quite a powerful skill to make the county magistrate remember the name itself, and I don't know how many people can't ask for such an opportunity. The so-called copying of the county order and the destruction of the prefect is not a joke.
As a result, several people didn't dare to speak casually, which made Su Yulong a little disappointed.
It's just that just when he walked out of the gate of the county government, a handsome young man who happened to be detained by several officials next to him came out together, as if he had been released from prison, and the head of the arrester always had an impatient tone.
"You kid remember, this time, thanks to Master Xie's kindness, I won't pursue you, otherwise next time I will be caught climbing over the wall and being a thief, and we won't be so easy to talk to!"
