Shopkeeper Shen snorted and said, "I don't think so." ”

He whispered to Xu Wenqu and gossiped: "This person's name is Xu Xian, I heard that he has a few talents, because he has the same surname as Xu, and he is often pulled on you, what is it called 'Xiao Xu Siyuan'?" When I saw his arrogant appearance, I felt that I must not be hit! ”

Tang Shiyue couldn't help but smile and said: "Maybe the children are crazy with poetry and books." ”

"No," Shopkeeper Shen shook his hand: "His kind of madness, at first glance, is the kind of madness that doesn't know the height of the sky, but as long as there is a little talent in the belly, it will not be like this." If you don't believe it, let's bet. ”

Tang Shiyue glanced at him: "Why should I bet that he is the head of the case?" It's not like no one in my family has taken exams! ”

Shopkeeper Shen couldn't help but be happy, "It's the same." ”

They kept staring down, but they all came out, and they didn't see the three of them.

Xu Wenqu was a little strange, and said, "I thought that Yang'er would come out with the first card." ”

Fourth Uncle Tang respected Xu Wenqu very much, and usually didn't dare to talk to him, so he hesitated for a moment before asking: "Mr. Xu, is it possible that Ah Yang's knowledge is better than Ah Rong and Ah Chen?" ”

"Not really," Xu asked the channel: "Yang'er is calm and decisive, he won't check it repeatedly after he finishes it, so he will come out earlier, Rong'er is cautious and Chen'er...... Some of the confidence is insufficient, so the two will be slower, but the two cards should come out. ”

Half an hour later, the two cards were released, and sure enough, all three of them came out together.

Several people hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and the shopkeeper Shen went directly over and picked up Huo Qiyang, chattering: "Ayang is still a doll!" Sitting in the cold wind for a day is really not a human thing. ”

Huo Qiyang shook his head, and said to Tang Shiyue: "Sister, it's not cold." ”

Xu Wenqu asked: "What's the problem?" ”

"Ahhh Tang Shiyue hurriedly said: "Don't ask after the exam!" Will be nervous! ”

Xu Wenqu raised his forehead, and then said no more, and went back to the Sifang Restaurant where they lived, and heard a commotion from afar, and after entering, he saw a few scholars holding the moon like stars, surrounding a scholar in the middle, who was that Xu Xian.

Xu Xianzheng was carrying something loudly, it should be an article he wrote in the examination room, he memorized a few sentences, and the people next to him were amazed.

They stood and listened.

Tang Shiyue couldn't tell whether it was good or bad anyway, so he took his eyes to look at Xu Wenqu, Xu Wenqu was noncommittal, only listened to it for a short time, and said: "Go up and rest, it's not interesting." ”

A few people walked back, and when Xu Xianzheng was complacent, he saw Huo Qiyang who was being held at a glance.

At that time, Huo Qiyang's seat number was diagonally opposite him, and when he was eating at noon, he suddenly had a salty fragrance, which caused him to be upset, and he was holding a grudge in his heart. ”

Huo Qiyang was really tired, lying on the shoulder of the shopkeeper Shen, and when he heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at him, but didn't say anything.

Tang Shiyue really wanted to go back.

But she really didn't have a score for the level of several people in her family, for fear that she would really lose to this Xu Crazy in the future, so she didn't speak, but Xu Wenqu glanced at her, stopped and said: "You are so frivolous before the list is released, how will you deal with yourself when you get out of the circle in the future?" ”

Xu Xian was furious: "Who are you, you dare to curse me like this!" ”

Xu Wenqu continued to walk forward, and replied coldly: "Xu Qing." ”

Xu Xian said angrily: "You ......" He stopped suddenly.

Xu Siyuan, named Xu Qing, the word asks Qu, this ...... Could it be Xu Siyuan? But Xu Siyuan has already been raised, how can he come to participate in the county exam? Could it be that he heard his name and deliberately mocked him?

But no matter how he thought about it, he didn't dare to catch up.

Tang Shiyue looked at Xu Xian's constipated expression, and immediately felt refreshed, and chased after Xu Wenqu, "Mr. Sir!" What exactly is his article? ”

Xu asked the channel: "It's not satisfactory." ”

She asked, "Can you win?" ”

Xu Wenqu pondered for a moment: "It's about the same." ”

He gently explained to her: "The admission of the main field is very wide, seventy percent of people can be selected, and then the initial response, minus two percent, and then each field is decreasing in turn, and the last one left, about fifty or so." ”

He touched her head: "He can hit the field, but he may not be able to stay until the end, and he is definitely not as good as Rong'er." ”

After coaxing her a few words, he said, "I'm tired all day, eat something good at night." ”

Tang Shiyue let out a sigh and went to the stove room.

Shopkeeper Shen looked a little funny, thinking that Xu Wenqu was like coaxing a child, Xu Wenqu had already closed the door over there, asked a few apprentices to silently read out the articles in the examination room, looked at it, and said: "Yes, if there is no accident, you can win." ”

After each test of the county examination, a list will be issued, which is called a "case", because the name on the exam paper is sealed, and only the seat number is written when the case is issued, which will be written in a circle, which is called a "round case".

Within fifty is the first circle, and the circle is divided into two layers, the outer circle is thirty, and the inner circle is twenty. In the middle of the outer layer, the first place is written with the word raised, and the other rankings are arranged in order from the left. That's why those who don't hit it are called "out of the circle".

And in the middle of the circle, a "medium" character will be written with a red pen, and the vertical of this "medium" character should also be written as long at the top and short at the bottom, as if the upper part of the word "expensive", take an auspicious meaning.

When you hear the sound of blowing, you have committed a crime.

Tang Shiyue refused to listen to persuasion, and squeezed in to see it in person, and then was confused by the "Tianzi No. 8" and "Chenzi No. 5", Tang Shirong glanced at it a few times, frowned, and went to look at the preparation list next to him.

The round case is the top 50 in this field, and the next one is to be sitted, that is, the seats are closer to the examiner, and the invigilation is more strict.

But the round case and the people who prepared the list were all able to participate in the next game, and the rest were eliminated, and sure enough, they were eliminated by about 30%.

Tang Shiyue was squeezed and staggered, Tang Shirong took her hand and squeezed it out, and asked Xu in a low voice: "Ah Yang and I are both on the round case." ”

Xu Wenqu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Tang Junchen, Tang Junchen bowed his head and was silent, Tang Shirong said again: "Achen is preparing for the seventh on the list." ”

Xu asked the channel: "How many are you?" ”

Tang Shirong coughed: "First." Ah Yang is in the twenty-second. ”

Tang Shiyue, who didn't understand it at all, was overjoyed: "Really? ”

"Shh Tang Shirong patted her gently: "There's still a back." ”

Tang Shiyue hurriedly covered her mouth, her eyes widened.

Xu Wenqu looked interesting, and didn't remind her that she was actually the first in this game, and if there was no accident in the future, the ranking would not be bad, so he stood up with a smile.

After four consecutive exams, Tang Shirong has been steadily occupying the first place, Huo Qiyang has been jumping between ten and twentieth, Tang Junchen's ranking has slowly risen, and he finally jumped into the circle.

Until the last list, all the admitted candidates were ranked horizontally according to their rankings, and their names were used to file cases, which was called "long cases".

Tang Shirong's name is really at the top of the case.

But what is surprising and surprising is that Huo Qiyang's name is actually second!

and Tang Junchen is in 50th place. Because a total of 50 people were selected in the county examination, under the 50th place, a hook will be drawn with a red pen, like a chair, indicating the deadline, so the 50th place, which is nicknamed "sitting on the red chair", is also very conspicuous.
