The county where Qin Tao is located.

Although it is a remote place, it is also the land of poetry and books.

The list of celebrities who have come out of here is endless.

Most people, as long as they can have food and clothing, will let their children study as hard as they can.

The Yunzhong Academy next to the county government is proof of this.

Dean Yuan Shijie is as his name suggests, he is a hero among people.

When he was young, he was an official to the four provinces and governors, and he was a member of the court.

Now after returning to his hometown in old age, he couldn't withstand the grand invitation of several magistrates and became the dean of Yunzhong Academy.

Every year in the county examination, he is the last to preside over the trial.

The three-day exam came down.

A group of students crowded outside the county office, waiting for the red list to be posted.

As long as you are on the list, you will be considered a showman.

Moreover, there is a particularly solemn ceremony in the prefecture.

Yuan Shijie and others will select the three most wonderful articles from the style volume of the first middle school, the third place rings the bronze bell of Yunzhong Academy, the second place rings three times, and the first place six rings.

To show encouragement and reward to students.

And the names of the top three will not appear on the red list, and will be sung by the officials when the bronze bell rings.

"Yes."

"I got hit too."

The students squeezed their heads, and the people who saw their names were elated.

People who didn't find their names were still a little unwilling, and looked for them again until they were completely disappointed, discouraged, and adjusted their mentality to fight again next year.

At this time, Qin Tao was in the inn.

The sun is still on the sun, and he is still sleeping like thunder.

But Xiaohong was in a hurry.

personally ran outside the gate of the county government, stood on tiptoe and squeezed in.

But Xiaohong couldn't read, so she had to ask the people around her to help.

"Little brother, can you help me see if there is my master's name?"

"What's your lord's name?"

"Qin Tao!"

"Nope."

"Impossible! Hey, you can help me take a good look at it. ”

Xiaohong looked for a few people, and they all said that there was no Qin Tao's name.

She returned to the inn and saw that Qin Tao was still sleeping.

"Qin Tao."

Xiaohong called Qin Tao.

Qin Tao turned over and continued to sleep.

It doesn't matter if it's in or not.

I don't care so much.

I came to take the exam today, mainly to give Zheng Lun face.

If you don't like it, you won't be sad if you fall off the list.

I don't have such a mentality, and I mix a yarn.

"My good lord, don't sleep." Xiaohong stretched out her hand through the quilt, trying to shake Qin Tao awake.

However, to no avail.

Xiaohong lifted the quilt.

Anyway, she is Madame's personal maid, and she has to wait for Qin Tao and Xi Shuyun to sleep almost every night.

I've seen a lot.

Qin Tao sat up in shock.

Yawning and clasping his hands around his chest.

"Xiaohong, what are you doing?"

"You've seen it all!"

Xiaohong was really angry and funny when she saw Qin Tao like this.

"It's not that you haven't served the master, why are you still pretending to be shy." Xiaohong said as she brought her clothes.

Let Qin Tao put on his clothes.

Then I got the wash.

"Qin Tao, my good master, you didn't show talent."

"If you don't hit, forget it." Qin Tao didn't care at all, after he saw the topic the day before yesterday, he wrote an article on a casual basis and didn't pay too much attention.

I didn't care in the first place.

So it is not surprising that it will fall off the list.

This is true of everything, the more you care, the greater the psychological gap will be.

"Let's go home, I miss my daughter-in-law." Qin Tao said badly.

Xiaohong's handsome little face blushed, and she said angrily: "You are a bad old man." ”

"Hey...... Go home. Qin Tao smiled happily.

I thought that Qin Tao would be depressed.

I didn't expect him to be so optimistic.

Xiaohong admired Qin Tao more and more.

"We can't go home yet, I went to see it just now, and they all said that the top three have not yet been revealed, maybe you are talented, and it is possible to win the top three."

Xiaohong said that she would not go back.

dragged Qin Tao all the way to the county office.

Qin Tao couldn't resist him.

Outside the gate of the county government, there are crowds of people.

Zheng Lun, the magistrate of the county, personally came forward and brought the atmosphere to a climax.

The top three are still being announced, and all students are looking forward to it.

However, after everyone's discussion, the top three candidates have basically been determined.

"One is Zhou Feng of the Zhou clan, Wang Sheng of the poetry and book royal family, and Wu Fuming, who is recognized as the most learned among the younger generation."

"There are no names on the red list."

"That must be the top three in this year's show."

Zhou Feng, Wang Sheng, Wu Fuming, the three of them stood side by side, looking light and light.

It seems to be a winning game.

In fact, these three people have no bottom in their hearts.

I didn't see my name on the red list, so I was really panicked for a while.

Now there are only the top three left.

It is also the last hope for the three of them.

It seems that the old god is there, and he is panicked.

"And my lord." Xiaohong listened to other people's discussions, but she didn't mention her master's name, I'm afraid they don't know their master's talent.

Xiaohong's words successfully attracted the attention of many people.

"Hehe, it's Qin Tao who sells wine again."

"In the past, the tenants of the Liu family were good at drinking."

"I heard that he drank his body badly, that thing is not good, and he can't make a room."

"Yes, drink during the day, beat your wife at night to get angry, and live a eunuch."

"If he can be in the top three, I'm afraid there will be a ghost."

“……”

No one is optimistic about Qin Tao.

Xiao Hong's face turned white with anger, and he looked sideways at Qin Tao, only to see him squinting his eyes slightly, squinting at forty-five degrees to view the sky.

It seems that the things that everyone cares about the most are just small things in his opinion.

"Sir!"

Although at home, Xiaohong called Qin Tao's name.

But outside, Xiaohong still knows how to count etiquette.

"Master, you have a really big heart."

Qin Tao smiled brightly and responded: "Fame and fortune are like floating clouds to me, I am fortunate to get it, I can't kill me, I can't ask for it." ”

It's that free.

"Humph!"

An inappropriate disdainful snort.

Zhou Feng looked at it coldly and said: "If you can't win, you can't win, it's useful to say it so fresh and refined." ”

"Brother Zhou is reasonable, in the humble opinion of the younger brother, Brother Zhou and Brother Wu are talented, and they will definitely win the first and second." Wang Sheng touted the two.

Zhou Feng was suddenly complacent, couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and pretended to be indifferent: "Brother Wang will also be in high school, both of you are not as talented as Brother Wu, and the first place in this year's show is none other than Brother Wu." ”

Wu Fuming folded the fan with his backhand, hugged his fists and said modestly: "The two brothers have won the award." ”

"Cut, it's all in their twenties, and there's something great about the show, and it's blown up." Qin Tao sneered at each other and said, "I haven't studied for a few years, and I won't come to take the exam anyway." ”

"Sore tooth loss."

After Qin Tao finished speaking, he saw that the faces of the three people were extremely ugly, and he knew that they were coming at him again.

At this moment, the magistrate raised his voice and said, "Everyone is quiet. ”

The buzzing and discussion suddenly stopped.

The top three are finally being revealed.

The best part has finally arrived.
