After preparing the gifts, Shangguan Wei'an came to the restaurant where he had made an appointment, and the four students had already arrived first, because of financial constraints, the four of them only ordered tea and drank it. Shangguan Wei'an greeted the four of them, ordered six meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes and beckoned the four of them to eat together.

When the four of them saw the meat dishes, their eyes lit up, but in order to maintain their image, they were still very restrained, and after Shangguan Wei'an beckoned them to eat the dishes, Fang picked up the chopsticks, and Sven ate them advantageously. But it was definitely faster than they usually ate.

After eating, Shangguan Wei'an took out four baskets and pushed them in front of the four people.

The four of them were all shocked when they saw the contents of the basket.

"This, that's too much." Shengyuan A pushed the basket in the direction of Shangguan Wei'an, he thought that he could get at most one silver property for helping Wei'an as a guarantor, but he didn't expect that it was five times more. Shengyuan A couldn't help but be afraid, Shangguan Wei'an didn't want to cheat away from home, and buy them with money first, right?

Shangguan Wei'an saw through the thoughts of the students, smiled slightly, and said: "The four of you can rest assured, you are cowardly, and you don't dare to do anything that violates discipline." These possessions are just my heart for the four of them, and I would love to make friends with them, and I hope they will not put off it. I heard that the four of them are good at reading, so I wish the four of them to pass the county exam, and the government exam can also pass the exam. ”

When the four of them heard Shangguan Wei'an's assurance, their hearts relaxed a little, and then they thought that if they passed the county exam and had to take the government exam, they would need a large amount of travel and accommodation expenses, and these five taels of silver could just be used for travel and accommodation expenses.

The five of them chatted about poetry and books for a while, and the four of them saw that Shangguan Wei'an was familiar with poetry and books, and knew more than the county school's gentleman, and they were relieved that they were no longer worried about cheating in the examination room of Shangguan Wei'an.

Shangguan Wei'an smiled. Lift people? I underestimate her too much, but she is the one who has passed the Zhongjin Shi.

The four of them were impressed by Shangguan Wei'an's knowledge, admired Shangguan Wei'an in their hearts, and asked Shangguan Wei'an questions that they didn't understand when they usually read books. The four of them suddenly heard clearly, and many things that they had not read through were now understood. The four of them have more confidence in the county test and even the government test. They were very grateful for introducing them to Shangguan Wei'an's concierge, if it weren't for that concierge, they wouldn't have known Shangguan Wei'an and received so many benefits. Therefore, after returning to some schools, each of the four of them gave half of the snacks to the concierge as a thank you gift.

Time flies quickly, the New Year is over in a blink of an eye, and in the blink of an eye, the New Year is over, and the day of the county test has arrived. The day of the county examination was in early spring in February, the weather was still cold, and the students in thin shirts were shivering a little from the cold.

"Brother Shangguan, aren't you cold?" Ji Yongchun, one of the four guarantors, asked Shangguan Wei'an suspiciously.

Shangguan Wei'an said: "Fortunately, I wore a vest made of leather inside. ”

Ji Yongchun's envy, he is really rich.

"It's just a sheepskin, you can give one to Brother Ji below." Shangguan Wei'an said.

"Then thank you Brother Shangguan." Ji Yongchun thanked him. Although the county can't try it, if you are lucky enough to be able to participate in the spring festival, this skin will be able to be used.

"What are you talking about?" The other three guarantors came over, and when they saw Shangguan Wei'an's appearance that he was not afraid of the cold, they were envious and puzzled.

Shangguan Wei'an talked about the vest, and also gave each of the three people a sheepskin.

The five of them got together and talked for a while, and then the examination room was let in. The inspection was relatively strict, but because of respect for the readers, the inspectors would not put their hands on the candidates, nor would they let the candidates strip naked.

After the inspection, the candidates went to salute the examiner according to the circle of the examiner, checked their identities, got the seat number, and then entered the examination room and sat down according to the seat number.

Shangguan Wei'an was already familiar with this process and found his seat very quickly. The content of the exam is very simple for Shangguan Wei'an, Shangguan Wei'an participated in all five exams, and won the first place in the county exam with an absolute high score, and Ji Yongchun and the four of them also passed the county exam.

Shangguan Wei'an held a banquet for four people, and made an appointment to go to the government test together, and then returned to their respective families.

Shangguan Wei'an returned to his village and greeted the villagers and tenants to greet him warmly. Because of the rent, Shangguan Wei'an has a very good reputation in the village, and now she is the first in the county test, and the villagers' respect for her has increased by five points.

Shangguan Wei'an simply held a flowing water banquet in the village and feasted all the villagers. The banquet was made by the women of the village, which was not very good, at least Gu Shun felt that it was too simple, but the villagers ate happily, there was meat on the table, as well as chickens and fish.

Shangguan Wei'an sat with the most senior people in the village and the village chief, eating and chatting about spring plowing and spring planting. The seeds in the village are all distributed by the government, and the quality is not very good, and the village chief and village elders are worried that the harvest will not be very good if they are planted with these seeds.

"But it can't be helped." The village chief sighed, "Last year's flood, we didn't have any seeds left, and now that we have free seeds to plant, we should be happy, instead of just having apprentices in the United States and Europe, watching the land go to waste." ”

An old village said: "But there are a lot of seeds, and the harvest will be discounted, and when we pay the tax, we won't have much grain left, not enough for us to be late for next year's grain harvest." ”

Another village elder said: "We can only let everyone store more wild vegetables." It's a pity that there are no mountains and forests near our village, so we can't hunt. ”

"Alas, now there are not even herbs to pick." Another village chief sighed, he was a bell doctor for a while when he was young, and he was more familiar with medicinal materials, and he would occasionally pick herbs for money and food, but after the flood, many herbs were drowned, and new herbs had not yet grown.

"Is the quality of the seeds given by the imperial court very poor?" Shangguan Wei'an asked.

The village chief said: "It's good that the imperial court can give free seeds, how good can you expect?" The good ones are kept. ”

Shangguan Wei'an understood, there are a lot of cats in it, and the good seeds have been taken away by the officials, and the only ones that are distributed to the ordinary people are these bad grains, and there are still many empty shells in them.

Seeing everyone sighing and worrying about next year's life, Shangguan Wei'an decided to help them.
