"I'm the head of the case?"

He repeated in a low voice, his eyes as if hollow, and let the black-faced scholar shake his shoulders in celebration.

The head of the case also means that even if he takes the penultimate place in the next government examination, he can still secure the identity of Xiucai.

Or call him Su Xiucai now!

And in the alley of the teahouse outside, the name of the head of the case quickly spread out, and everyone who was full of confidence and only waiting for the name that had been memorized by heart for a long time to come heard the almost unfamiliar name at this moment, and they all fell into a stupor, a dead silence, and looked at each other.

"Su Yulong? Who is this? ”

"Why have you never heard of it?"

And in a corner of the teahouse, a scholar frowned slightly.

He remembered vaguely hearing the name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

For a long time, his eyes were wide, wide open, and his eyes were full of disbelief, and he didn't even realize that the tea in his hand was poured!

Su Yulong ...... Su Minghu? ”

He remembered it, and remembered that the cowherd boy who was fiercely ridiculed by them half a month ago seemed to be called Su Yulong!

They used to laugh at him for not being able to do enough and that entering the exam room would only cause trouble. Who would have thought that those words now seemed to be laughing at themselves and slapping themselves hard!

That's not an ordinary cowherd boy, that's a genius with a case!

Feeling the heat on both sides of his cheeks, the scholar got up in a panic and ran out.

He was going to tell his friends the amazing news sooner!

Especially that Su Minghu!

Remembering that the brother of the head of the case had wanted to participate in their poetry meeting many times but was ridiculed and rejected by them, he felt even more remorseful in his heart.

Knowing this, I must have a good deal with the Su Minghu brothers, and it is not too much to even stammer! As long as the news of a county head in their circle spreads, the big furniture will be honored, and it will be difficult to think of the limelight!

For example, when you go out, you meet people and say that the head of the county case is your friend, isn't it a lot of face? I feel like I can walk on the street and straighten my waist!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have some complaints about that Su Minghu.

"This guy knows that his brother is the head of the case, but he still hides it and doesn't tell us! Aren't they just waiting to laugh at us? ”

"Well, this time I will pull down my face to make friends with him, and if there is any poetry club in the future, I will also be able to make friends with him indirectly!"

Inside Xiping Village.

Su Minghu was lying on the bed and falling asleep. After falling off the list a few days ago, he was depressed and spent a lot of money to buy wine and get drunk, and now he is still a little dazed and sleeps until now.

The distance and ridicule of his friends, the frustrations on the road to the imperial examination, and the question of who should do the work at home after his younger brother left all made him feel troubled, and he didn't even care about who the county head of the case was.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with you, so why bother to ask!

At this moment, there were many scholarly shouts outside the house, accompanied by the panicked opening of the door by his stupid wife.

"Father-in-law!" Surprised and delighted, she ran to the bedside and shouted to him, "The scholars outside said that our family has a county case, and they are coming to celebrate!" ”

"What?"

Su Minghu suddenly perked up, jumped up from the bed, and said in surprise, "County head?!" ”

Could it be that the examiner finally discovered his hidden amazing brilliance and decided to admit him as the head of the case?!

As for others? How is it possible, he is the only scholar in this Su family, who else is qualified to win the head of the case besides him?

Hit by the sudden ecstasy in his heart, he hurriedly got up and looked at some messy clothes and hair in the mirror, but at this time, he couldn't care so much, anyway, he was the head of the case, who would dare to give him a face?

He hurried to the door, and sure enough, he saw that the scholar friends who had been avoiding him and even laughing at him many times in the past had changed their faces at this time, and they were surrounded at the door with a little flattery, and the stars were looking at him like the moon, which made him feel happy in his heart, and he was as happy as a villain.

"Don't you look down on me? Why are you still here to celebrate? ”

Although he didn't say it explicitly, there was a bit of arrogance in his eyes.

"Brother Minghu! I haven't seen you for many days, and I miss it so much! We did something wrong a few days ago, and I will ask you for my guilt in the future, and I hope you can forgive us for the sake of our friendship in the past! A scholar looked ashamed and hugged his fists.

"It's not impossible to forgive, it depends on your sincerity......" Su Minghu held a high profile, as if he had returned home as a big official.

Everyone frowned slightly, their eyes were a little disdainful, but they didn't dare to say it clearly, knowing that this person only dared to be proud by relying on his younger brother.

At this time, I suddenly heard a puzzled person asking, "By the way, what about the head of the Su case?" Why haven't you seen him come out for a long time? I've been admiring the name for a long time, and I can't wait to see the face of the head of the case! ”

"Huh? Am I not standing right here? Su Minghu vaguely felt that something was wrong and pointed at himself.

"Hey, Brother Minghu, don't be joking." The man shook his head and said, "Go and invite your brother, Su Yulong Su is the head of the case!" ”

"Su ...... Su Yulong? Su Minghu was stunned, his hands and feet began to tremble slightly, and he reluctantly moved his mouth and smiled, "Are you kidding?" Jade Dragon ...... How could Jade Dragon be the head of the case? ”

"Hey, that's no joke!" When the scholars heard this, they became more and more dissatisfied, and felt that this Su Minghu was really messing around, "Brother Minghu, you still don't know?" What is written in black and red on the wall of the county government is the name circled by the county magistrate, Su Yulong is the head of this case, how can he be fake! ”

"He's the head of the case?!"

Hearing this, Su Minghu staggered back, recalling the picture of himself driving him away before, a burst of blood and qi surged in his chest, and he actually fainted with both eyes and fell to the ground unconscious!

……

And in Yuanyang City, the list has also been posted.

"Idle people and other tools are scattered!"

The official held a wooden sign and isolated the people who were staring and waiting for the announcement of the list from a distance, so that if one of them did not pay attention later, there might be some accidents when the crowd was crowded.

For example, it is not uncommon for such things to happen in the past, such as a candidate who failed the list suffered from madness on the spot, and rushed up to tear the list and tear it up while crying and laughing, which only added a lot of trouble!

In the corner of the crowd, a seemingly ordinary emaciated figure was standing quietly, and Liu Xiuping, whose eyes were bloodshot, gasped and stared at the position of the list.
