Yingbao, his father and brother and others took a boat to Fucheng, and there were several students who passed the county exam on the same boat.

They formed a joint guarantee with Jiang Jie, so they naturally wanted to go to Fucheng together.

After a few days on the boat, I finally arrived at Fucheng.

Last time when Yingbao was in Fucheng, she entrusted Mrs. Wen to help her buy a courtyard with five houses, in which everything was fully furnished.

At this time, she moved into this house with a group of people.

Mrs. Wen was very happy to learn that Jiang Jie was admitted to the head of the county, but in order not to affect Jiang Jie's studies, she didn't let her son and Wei Zhan come over to disturb her.

After Yingbao arrived in Fucheng, he went to the market to buy vegetables and meat, and when he came back, he handed it to his father, and he led a few people to cook.

Now there are a lot of people living in the house, four students who have been guaranteed, two students who help them as a guarantee, and five or six people who accompany them, plus four people from their own family and Mr. Wu, there are more than 20 people.

Fortunately, these people are very gentle, and their character is good, even if they envy Jiang Jie for having Mr. Wu to teach his homework, he only silently moved a small horse to sit outside the window and steal the teacher, and he didn't mean to go into the house to disturb.

The people who accompanied the students to the exam did not dare to make a sound, for fear of affecting their own family members and stealing teachers.

Soon it was April, and everyone went to the government office to get the examination certificate first, and then it was time for the exam.

The scale of the government test is much larger than that of the county test, and there are nearly 1,000 people for reference.

After Jiang Jie has experienced the county exam, he is not afraid at all now.

Anyway, I have the pills given by my sister in my hand, as well as delicious Poria cakes, not to mention taking three exams, even if I take five more exams.

The government examination is the scriptures, essays, and policy theories, and the main content is memorization, words and chapters, and political practice.

During Jiang Jie's trip with his master, he had already had his own opinions on current affairs and government affairs, and he had read through many classic literature, plus the Wudingzhi given by his sister made him sober up and answer the article.

After the three exams, everyone has to wait for the release of the list in Fucheng.

The four candidates who lived in Yingbao's house did not rest, and they and the two students still stole teachers under Mr. Wu's window every day.

Yuan Bao was fortunate to be next to his little cousin and studied with him brightly.

Ten days later, the list was released, and Yuan Bao and Ying Bao went to the door of the examination room to see the list.

As soon as the gong sounded, the official came out with the list and posted it in the list pavilion.

Many scholars and their families crowded over to watch.

"Hit! Xiaojie took the third place in the exam! Yuan Bao pointed to the list and shouted in surprise.

Sakura also saw it, and was very happy in her heart,

If you can have this result in the younger brother's house exam, you can pass the college exam nine times out of ten, and then you will be the sister of Xiucaigong, hahaha!

When the list was just taken out, Mending had already secretly given the names and rankings of the students in the examination to the newspaper waiting outside, and asked them to take it to report the good news, and when the time came, they would also score a little bit for them when they got the reward.

This is also particular about rankings, and the more you are at the top, the more money you may get from the newspaper.

After a pair of newspapers received a few long strips of white strips, they hurried to the place recorded on the strips to report the good news.

Some places are far away, but they also want to go to the top of the rankings. Not only go to the master's house to report the good news, but also to his immediate relatives' house, such as his grandparents or grandparents' house, to report a trip, as little as a few times, more than dozens of times, this year's chewing is enough.

Here, Sakura and Yuan Bao quickly ran back to tell their families the good news.

I didn't know that the newspaper ran faster than them, and in the morning the door reported the good news, took the reward and left quickly.

There was also a ship on the other side of the dock that was about to leave for Qinchuan County, and they couldn't afford to delay.

Mr. Wu expected that the little apprentice would be able to get the top three.

"The next thing is the college exam, which is estimated to be held in May, and you have to practice your poetry during this time." The little apprentice suffered a loss in poetry, and Mr. Wu decided to make up for his poetry and songs.

Jiang Jie nodded, and obediently took the book to the courtyard to practice composing poems.

There are still more than 20 days to take the college exam, which is more difficult than the government exam, and he has to practice quickly.

Ying Bao took advantage of this time to go to the market in Fucheng to buy a lot of things, including grain and vegetable seeds, and secretly put them into the cave, and also took out the fruits and vegetables in the cave, handed them to his father, and asked him to share them with everyone.

Of the four students who lived at home who were rushing to take the exam, one of them failed the house test and took his scholar home first, so Jiang Jie's five-person joint insurance had to find one person to come in.

Fortunately, there is a way for the food students, and they will soon find someone to fill it.

Finally, it was time for the May college exam.

The weather is getting hotter these days, and mosquitoes have already appeared.

Sakura prepared mosquito repellent sachets for her brother, a small mosquito net that could be opened as soon as it was propped up, and a raincoat made of oilcloth and oilcloth.

In the evening, my brother only needs to drive four nails to the wall and tie the four corners of the small mosquito net to the nails, so that he can sleep peacefully and the next day will not affect the exam.

On the day of the exam, the sky suddenly became windy, and soon it was overcast with heavy rain.

Fortunately, Jiang Jie saw that the situation was wrong, so he rolled up the exam paper and put it in the oiled paper bucket, so as to avoid getting wet.

Jiang Jie stood on the bench and nailed the oilcloth he brought to the door to block the wind and rain.

But the rain became heavier and heavier, and from time to time it blew into the trumpet, and even if there was an oilcloth, it could not be completely blocked.

Jiang Jie had no choice but to put on his sister's raincoat made of oilcloth and put on his hat.

After more than an hour, the rain finally lightened.

Jiang Jie wiped the rain off the board, and then blotted it with a cotton cloth to dry it.

But in this way, you still can't lay out the paper, otherwise the words will be blurred and you can't read them.

He was in a bit of a hurry.

If you continue like this, you won't want to finish the question.

After thinking about it, Jiang Jie began to look through the exam basket.

Finally, I found a dry piece of oiled paper.

This piece of oiled paper is not big, but it can be spread on the board.

Jiang Jie was overjoyed, and quickly took out the test paper and began to answer the questions.

It was still raining outside, but not much.

After Jiang Jie finished answering a test paper and drying it, he carefully rolled it up and put it in an oily paper bucket······

When it was finally time to collect the papers, Jiang Jie put all the answer sheets on the board in front of him and watched the little official take the answer sheets away.

After packing up and walking out, I saw many people looking depressed.

A lot of the test paper was wet in a rain, and they managed to dry the paper, but writing on such paper was too ugly.

So they basically have no hope for this college exam.

Jiang Jie had a piece of paper that was also wet, but he used the small charcoal stove given by his sister to iron the paper flat and dry, and wrote on it like new paper.

After the last exam, everyone waited for another 20 days, and finally it was time to release the list.

This time, Jiang Saburo went to see the list with his daughter and nephew Yuanbao.

When he saw that his son was still in third place, Jiang Saburo was overjoyed, but he was afraid that he would lose his eyes, so he asked his daughter: "Bao'er, help your father take a look, is that name your brother's?" ”
