Chapter 171: Dilemma

Compared with the sparsely populated Su family, the other two major families in Yuanyang City are obviously much more lively, especially after the Liu family has a lot of things, the imperial examination closely linked to the position of the head of the later family has become more and more important all the way.

The elders in each room of the family don't care whether the children in the family who have been wandering in the past are reading or not in the past few days, just stuff it inside, and there is always a fluke in their hearts, what if one is lucky enough to be admitted?

And the young man of the Liu family, who had been hiding outside Yuanyang City for the past few days, finally stepped through the city gate again, as if he was in a different world, looking at the crowded market, raising his head, looking at the direction of the Liu family's mansion with a pair of eyes that implied unyielding and hate, and muttered in a low voice.

"I'll make you regret it!"

*********

Yong'an City, Xiping Village, in an ordinary wooden house.

"Xianggong, today is the day of the county examination, I went to the temple a few days ago to ask for a lot, saying that our Su family will definitely be able to enter high school in this imperial examination, and from then on, it will be ......."

Su Minghu yawned while the lady dressed him, listening to her babbling like this, his heart suddenly became a little irritable, and he slapped her hand away and said impatiently: "Okay, do you still need to say this kind of thing?" It's just a county test......"

Although he said this in his mouth, he didn't have much confidence in his heart.

He knows his own level, and it's not the first time he's taken the county exam, the first or second exams are basically okay, and when he really takes the fourth or fifth exam of school knowledge, he can't hold back, and some of the questions are often half-understood and confused, purely betting on luck and generally expecting to be admitted.

It's just that he took the exam twice in previous years, but he didn't even mix up the identity of a child, how can he be willing?

The only thing that made him a little relieved was that over the years, the colleagues who had been in the poetry club with him had also failed the exam, and they all looked like they were complaining, and secretly scolded that the county order was not long-sighted, and they couldn't see the unique temperament of others in their articles.

Thinking of this, he felt gloomy again.

Since the news spread that his younger brother was going to register for the county exam, he has never received any invitations from these poetry clubs, that is, after he got the news, he took the initiative to catch up with him cheekily and was also ridiculed by them, and few people were willing to pay attention to him, until he took the initiative to leave with a shameful face.

"It's all that guy!"

Su Minghu was so angry that he gritted his teeth a little, and could only vent his anger on his younger brother.

The only thing that made him a little comforted was that it was impossible for his younger brother to settle the insurance with others, and it was even more impossible to find a gifted student to guarantee him, so he couldn't even enter the gate of the county office, let alone go to the county exam.

As long as Yulong's name would not appear among the candidates at that time, he would naturally have the confidence to explain it clearly to those friends, and it was just a misunderstanding before, so as to get their approval.

It's just that at this moment, he raised his eyes and saw that Su Yulong outside the house had a rare clean appearance, although there were still patches on his clothes and they looked shabby, but unexpectedly, he was not angry.

But why does this guy dress like this? Cattle herding is not so particular!

He had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly opened the door and shouted to Su Yulong, who was squatting next to the scalper and writing and drawing on the mud floor, "Yulong, what are you going to do here?"

"Brother, I'm going to take the county exam today." Su Yulong didn't hide it, and replied with a smile.

"Nonsense! You have no one to vouch for, and you are also a troublemaker when you go to the county office! Su Minghu raised his eyebrows and reprimanded sharply.

"But......" Su Yulong shook his head slightly, "Someone has vouched for me, and I have already registered in the county office." ”

Su Minghu only thought he was talking nonsense at first, but when he heard him say this, it didn't seem like a fake, and he suddenly panicked in his heart.

"If this kid really went to take the test, wouldn't he really become a laughing stock in the eyes of his friends, and he wouldn't be able to raise his head for the rest of his life?!"

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly became impatient, and he said angrily: "No, anyway, you are not allowed to take the exam today!" What kind of knowledge do you know as a cowherd, wouldn't it be an insult to the faΓ§ade of my Su family to take the exam to be the penultimate in the exam! How will I be able to hold my head up in the future? ”

Su Yulong was about to argue, but suddenly heard that his brother had called his sister-in-law, and they actually locked him in the back room together, locked the door, and did not allow him to go out!

"Don't you want to go out today!" Su Minghu, who was outside the door, was unmoved when he heard the knock on the door in the house, and said coldly, "In addition, I will also talk to the coachman in the village, and I will never give you a ride." If you dare to escape, walk to the county seat by yourself, and don't go back to this home in the future! ”

The distance between the county seat and the village is more than ten miles away, and if you are not in a hurry and can walk, you will only be a little tired at most. But now that the county exam is imminent, when he really walks over, I'm afraid the first exam will be over!

After doing this, Su Minghu probably felt that everything was safe, so he turned his head and went out to take the exam.

Su Yulong's hands and feet in the room were cold, and his heart felt like falling into the abyss. He never expected his brother to be so ruthless and resolutely not allowed to take the exam himself!

But it has come to this day, after preparing these days, even Brother Zhou Shize praised him for being able to be on the list, but now because of this accident, he can't refer to it, resulting in missing the last opportunity to see that girl, how can he be willing?

He tried to plead with his sister-in-law who was guarding the door, but what he got was a sneer and ridicule from his sister-in-law.

"You kid stay in there, I won't let you out." She brought a bench and guarded the door, nibbling on a fruit while saying, "You also want to go to the imperial examination?" Wouldn't I be able to go too? It's just a laughing stock for others! ”

"Damn!"

Su Yulong's eyes were red, angry at the ruthlessness of his brother and sister-in-law, and also angry at his own powerlessness, unable to get out of the current predicament.

He raised his head and glanced at the sky, it was already bright, and if he delayed some longer, he was afraid that he would not be able to enter the exam at all. At that time, I will automatically give up this exam......

He raised his hand and slammed the table almost in despair, but suddenly a trace of coolness in his chest came to his mind, and his anxious mood gradually calmed down.

"It's ......"

He was stunned, and slowly reached out and took out a jade talisman from his arms, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"I don't know if this is possible......"

He was a little apprehensive, after all, it was just his private matter, and he didn't know if the goblins would help. But now that the matter has come to this, there is no choice, instead of counting on miracles from heaven, it is better to turn to them and maybe there is a chance!
