Bai Shengwu nodded hurriedly, and asked Asa to accept the money, and Asa accepted the money, but said: "My female dog has cubs at home, and I will bring you two later." ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to hug the dog, Bai Shengwu was immediately happy, although he was still a little sad when he thought of the general, but he was still happier in the end.

The dogs raised in Dahu are better than the dogs of Old Man Zhu's family, they are hunting dogs, even if they see wolves, they dare to go up, if they raise two in their homes, they are not afraid of dogs.

After the death of the general, they moved, and I don't know if Fat Yuan has ever returned, which is a little sad to think about.

Asa didn't go back to the county with them, so they were separated in Gushantun, Xu Wenlan and Bai Shengwu took a car back to the county, and when they just came out of Gushantun, they saw a dog from a distance, so dirty that they couldn't see their true colors, running in the field with their tails between them, although they were far away, they seemed to be fat and round.

Bai Shengwu shouted loudly, and the dog turned his head to look, but he barked frantically and didn't come close.

Uncle Wang, who was driving the car, glanced at it: "I don't know where the mad dog came from, it barks like this every day, it annoys people to death, but don't bite people again when it will be bad......

Xu Wenlan pursed her lips, thinking that she was scared crazy by the black wolf, right?

Two days later, I heard that Fat Yuan chased the child and bit it, and was beaten to death by the adults in the tunzi with bricks, Bai Shengwu heard the news, and deliberately went back to Tunzi, and buried the fat circle next to the general because it was a mad dog.

In the blink of an eye, February 2 passed, and Bai Shengwen told his family that he wanted to participate in this year's county exam.

This county test is the first level of the children's exam, and after this pass, go to the government to take the exam, if you pass both levels, it is a child.

This children's exam, basically every year, unlike the college test for Xiucai, it is generally twice every three years, with that luck, it is possible to pass the three levels in a year to become a Xiucai, and if you do Xiucai, you will have a fame, not only can you go to the county school, but even the family fields can be tax-free, and naturally there is a limit.

Bai Shengwen reads, and the Bai family is happy, but they don't think that Bai Shengwen wants to take the county exam after reading the book for less than a year, and Zhu was a little surprised when he heard it: "Take the exam at this time? Do you think it works? ”

Xu Wenlan doesn't understand how difficult it is to take the county exam, but it is probably not easy to see that Wang Zhili has been a child like Wang Zhili for decades, maybe the difficulty is much higher than the college entrance examination.

However, she has confidence in Bai Shengwen: "Mother, my brother is smart!" ”

Bai Shengwen couldn't help but glance at Xu Wenlan with a smile, but still confessed: "Mr. said that I think it's okay, but if you want to say that you want to take the Xiucai test, it's still far away." However, because of the beard incident a year ago, it can be regarded as a name in the county order, striking while the iron is hot, if you can participate in the county exam this time, it will probably be stable, as for the government exam, it depends on the hard work of the past few months, and the opportunity is half and half. ”

This is right, learning may not be able to pass, but because of chance, it is also an opportunity, Bai Yingkui nodded, and said directly: "Since this is the case, then you can try this county test, don't think too hard, even if you don't win, it's nothing." It's not easy to take the test, if it's good, how can we just be a child with Uncle Wang? ”

This is because he is afraid that Bai Shengwen will be under too much pressure and will force himself out of illness.

Bai Shengwen smiled and nodded, and didn't say anything else, but after that, he saw that it was very late to read every day, and he didn't read in the house, just in front of the shop, an oil lamp was lit very late, and sometimes he felt that it was too late, so he simply didn't go back to the back room, and built a temporary bed with a bench in front of him.

Zhu was so distressed that although it was February, it was still cold, so how could he sleep on a bench.

She said it a few times, but Bai Yingkui didn't speak, but the Laojun furnace, which was originally extinguished at night, never went out again, and Bai Shengwen no longer read books at night, and he didn't get frozen even if he slept on the front bunk.

The family was afraid of Bai Shengwen reading books, and they didn't even talk loudly at night, and even the most noisy Bai Shengwu stopped, and he even tiptoed to walk.

Bai Hui'er is responsible for taking care of Bai Shengwen, the good things at home can be eaten by Bai Shengwen, and the Zhu family also specially bought meat and came back to stew it for Bai Shengwen, but this meat is too fat and tired to eat.

Xu Wenlan persuaded twice, this candidate has to eat meat and vegetables, and eat nutritious.

But it's a pity that this year's winter vegetarian vegetables are cabbage, tofu, potatoes and radish, Xu Wenlan went to buy some walnuts, and squeezed a walnut through the crack of the door every day to replenish Bai Shengwen's brain.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the county exam, and the head of the family had no experience, so Chengyu came over, and they knew what to prepare.

The four treasures of the study are naturally necessary, an examination basket, and the food that is loaded in it is exquisite, although the county test is not as strict as the township test, but when you enter the door, you still search your body, and the things you eat are dry food for steamed buns or something, and you can only eat dry food to deal with it.

There are also candles, gourds filled with water, flints and other things, I heard that when you enter the door, you have to search your body, and you have to take off your cotton jacket to check in winter, which is not as good as the township test, and I heard that you can only wear a single clothes when you go to the township test.

Hearing that he was going to take off his cotton jacket and search his body in the cold wind, Zhu's face was almost dark, this dead cold day, must not freeze out of the problem?

It was Bai Shengwen who persuaded Zhu, and said that he would be fine if he was in good health, so Zhu was a little relieved, and he didn't say anything in front of Bai Shengwen, but when he was steaming steamed buns in the stove room, he shed tears, and said that it was not easy to study.

If you want to take the county exam, you have to sign up, and you have to have a talent as a guarantee, this talent is the top student in the show, and the show talent who has to be included in the first-class show in the county examination is the gift.

However, these things are not the Bai family's worries, Bai Shengwen's husband, Mr. Zhang Ziping, who taught in Guo Buluo's house, and Mr. Zhang all helped to handle it, but the Bai family gave two taels of silver to that Yusheng as a meeting gift.

I heard that there are three endowments in Xianshui County, and this endowment is a guarantee for people, and they can earn thirty or forty taels a year.

Like Bai Shengwen, if they want to take the exam, they have to sign up for five students together, which is already ten taels of silver. When Xu Wenlan heard it at first glance, she couldn't help but sigh, and said bluntly that Bai Shengwen must study hard, and when he wins the show, he must be ranked first, and his family will be able to earn this money at that time.

Bai Shengwen listened to it straightforwardly, although he didn't say anything good, but he looked at Xu Wenlan's gaze very gently.

Scholars are high-minded and ashamed to talk about money, but Bai Shengwen doesn't have that problem.

This year, in addition to Bai Shengwen going to play, Bai Yingtian is also going to play, this is the fourth time he has taken the test as a child, but I don't know if he can win this time.

The county exam will take four days, one a day, in the county's gift room, Xu Wenlan got up early that morning and followed Bai Shengwen sent by Bai Yingkui and Bai Shengwu to enter.

When I arrived at the gate of the county office, I saw Bai Yingtian.
