As soon as Chen Linxiao went home, Chen Linmu came up and said, "I heard that the county magistrate gave you a post and invited you to see him tomorrow?" ”

In order not to reveal that they already knew Guan Luxin's identity, Master Tu deliberately posted the post to the inn where the students lived in Qingniu Town, so it was not surprising that Chen Linmu knew.

"Yes." Chen Linxiao nodded.

"Then ......," Chen Linmu said expectantly.

Chen Linxiao directly interrupted him: "But we have already discussed, and we will not go tomorrow." ”“”

Chen Linmu sighed, his eyes were full of disappointment, and he said: "That's the county commander, fourth brother, you have to know that the county test is the county magistrate's decision." ”

Chen Linxiao nodded and said, "It is precisely because of this that we decided not to go." ”

Chen Linmu couldn't help but stomp his feet in annoyance when he heard this, and said, "You, you, oops, really, I see that everyone is dizzy, that's the county magistrate." ”

Chen Linxiao said impatiently: "I know that he is the county magistrate, and I also know that the county test questions are made by him, and I also know that it is up to him to decide who to take or who to take in the end, but so what, for the sake of our brothers, I advise you, if you put your mind into study, it is more useful than you to study and ponder any official." ”

Chen Linxiao flicked his sleeves and entered the study.

Chen Linmu looked at Chen Linxiao's back behind him and clenched his fists, and secretly thought in his heart: "You elm head, it is the convenience of Mr. Zhufeng and Guan Luxin, but you don't know how to make contacts, I want to see how far you can go even if you get a jinshi?" ”

Although Lin Xiao didn't know what Chen Linmu was thinking, he wouldn't care even if he knew. For people like Chen Linmu, if he succeeds, he will blame himself for all the reasons without modesty, but if he fails, he will not find any reasons from himself.

Chen Linxiao can almost imagine that if he fails the county or government examination this time, he will definitely not think that it is due to his lack of learning, but he will definitely think that it must be because he is a civilian that he will end up in the first place.

On the other side, the county commander Sun Zhidun heard Master Tu relay the words of the Guan Mansion, and he felt uneasy in his heart and asked, "Master, what do you mean by Young Master Guan?" Isn't it him...... Or is it that Master Guan doesn't like this official, so he doesn't let Young Master Guan have anything to do with this official. ”

Master Tu touched his beard and shook his head slowly: "According to the villain's guess, it shouldn't be like this, it should be the three of them who didn't come to the adult's appointment in order to avoid suspicion." ”

"Is that so?" Sun Zhidun hurriedly confirmed.

The master nodded affirmatively, and at this moment, a subordinate outside the door walked in quickly and said, "My lord, the housekeeper of the Jiang Mansion is already at the door." ”

Sun Xianling was shocked when he heard this: "What? You mean Jiang Yu's butler has arrived. ”

"Yes," the subordinate nodded, "My lord, will the little one invite him in?" ”

Hearing this, Sun Xianling waved his hand weakly and said, "Please come in." ”

After taking the subordinates and walking out, Sun Xianling said to the master: "Between you, what is the purpose of sending someone here at this time?" ”

Master Tu's expression was also a little subtle and jealous, and he said, "What is the matter, my lord, don't you know it?" ”

Sun Xianling smiled bitterly when he heard this, didn't he just know it? In the eyes of others, he is the parent official of a county, and the scenery is infinite, but only he knows the pain inside.

Before he came to Qitong County to be the county magistrate, Jiang Yu was already the county governor of Qitong County.

On the surface, Jiang Yu is his subordinate, but Sun Zhidun understands in his heart that Jiang Yu has firmly held the real power in his hands, and he has a good face over the years, Jiang Yu is in power, and several chief bookkeepers in the county government are his people.

In the past few years, every time he went to the county exam, Jiang Yu would send a list, and Sun Xianling knew that this was the person Jiang Yu wanted to protect, and he had to let them pass the county exam.

Sure enough, this time, the steward of the Jiang Mansion also gave him a list, and Sun Zhidun looked at the people on this list and couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.

………………

It was February 16, the day of the county exam.

The county test is divided into five sessions, the first three are counted as the main test, and the last two are regarded as additional tests.

Generally speaking, the results are determined by the first three exams, and if the first three exams are good, it is harmless if the last two exams are not examined. However, there are exceptions, the first three games are not played well, and the last two games are played well and are selected.

The weather in February is the most fickle, sometimes the sky is clear, and you don't feel cold in a single coat, and sometimes the wind is cold, and you have to wear winter cotton clothes on your body.

And this year's February 16, luck is not very kind for these students.

Although it was the second half of the night, it was still a cold wind, Chen Xiaoshu brought the rabbit skin cloak he had made for Chen Linxiao before, and said: "Although today's exam is only for half a day, if the weather is cold, you can bring it into the examination room and surround it." ”

Chen Linxiao touched the thick cloak, and a warm feeling in his heart surged and said, "Wait for me." ”

Although it was only two short words, Chen Xiaoshu knew what he meant.

After more than ten years of getting along, they have become a part of each other's lives, and they rarely say thank you, just like your hand will help you do a lot of things every day, but you won't say thank you to your hand, because it is a part of your body.

As soon as Chen Linmu came out of the west wing, he saw the rabbit skin cloak on Chen Linxiao's body, and there was envy in his eyes that could not be concealed, he looked at Chen Xiaoshu, and said with a smile: "Is that Xiaoshu still there?" I mean the cape. ”

Chen Xiaoshu couldn't help but roll his eyes, the county exam was in February, and many candidates and their families were prepared for the sudden weather, so they all prepared thick clothes.

Chen Linmu was naturally no exception, Chen Xiaoshu looked at him and saw that he was wearing a gray cotton coat, although it was not good-looking, but it could also keep warm.

So he said, "Third brother, aren't you wearing a cotton coat?" ”

Chen Linmu was embarrassed when he heard this, and quickly regained his smile and said, "Xiao Shu, you don't know, this cotton coat is old, it just looks thick, but it's not warm at all." ”

Nonsense, compared with the rabbit skin cloak, the ghost has to wear ugly and big cotton clothes, not to mention that being able to wear this kind of fur clothes is also a status symbol, and a person like Chen Linmu who loves vanity will naturally not give up this opportunity.

Chen Xiaoshu saw through what he was thinking at a glance, rolled his eyes and said, "Really? That's a shame. There is also a rabbit skin cloak at home, but it's a pity that it's a women's one, third brother, do you want to wear it? ”

When Chen Linmu heard this, he couldn't wait to strangle Chen Xiaoshu, a dead girl, and let herself wear women's clothes, this was a deliberate attempt to humiliate herself.
