When Xu He came out of the examination booth, he saw that where he had just touched the pillar, Huang Youcai held his knees with his hands and knelt on the bluestone slab sweating profusely.

At this time, Huang Youcai also heard the movement and looked at him.

As soon as the eyes of the two collided, Xu He saw a strong hatred in Huang Youcai's gaze.

Anyway, sometimes, human nature is really weird.

Obviously, he was framed in the front, and now he is punished, not only is he unrepentant, but his eyes also reveal the words "wait and see"!

Xu He didn't look at Huang Youcai much, he walked by without squinting, but he had already registered this person in his heart.

The so-called snake fight will not die, it will be harmful, Xu He is not a gentle and frugal guy, he secretly thought in his heart, when there is an opportunity, this hidden danger will be erased, otherwise he will not be able to sleep in peace.

When he got out of the county examination booth, because he submitted the papers in advance, he waited until it was getting dark, and then waited for his fellow social studies classmates to come out.

"Xiaohe, are you alright? That Huang Youcai is really not a thing, I will tell the master when I go back! ”

"Xiaohe was blessed by misfortune, and was ordered by the county magistrate to be the head of the county trial case on the spot! This is the first time that someone in our social studies has won the first place in the county test, and after he goes back, the master will definitely reward Xiaohe! ”

"Little crane, you don't know, I was terrified when I saw you hit your head against the pillar!"

"You can't do this again in the future, Aunt Xu is just your son, what should you do if something happens to your mother?"

……

At this time, a little fat man came out in crowd to check the wound on Xu He's head: "Brother He, go, I'll take you to the hospital!" ”

Xu He recognized this person, he was Qian Yu, the only son of Qian Jizu, the owner of Huibin Building in the east of the city.

The Qian family is a businessman, in the Great Wei Dynasty, the status of businessmen is low, although there have been improvements over the years to be able to participate in the imperial examination, but this little fat man obviously did not change the consciousness of the class through the imperial examination, and it is a typical example of a chaotic life in social science.

However, Qian Yu can't study, but he is a talented person, and he has a very good relationship with Xu He on weekdays.

Xu He's head had already scabbed, and he didn't feel nauseous and want to vomit for so long, he declined Qian Yu's kindness, turned his head and asked everyone: "How did everyone do in the exam?" ”

They are all young people, and they can't hide their thoughts, and they are all on their faces.

Seven or eight people, most of them with heavy faces on their faces, including Qian Yu, of course.

At this time, Xu He found that there was a young man named Chu Yuan with a faint look of self-confidence on his face, and he knew that the young man must have done well in the exam.

Of course, Xu He would not reveal the scars of Qian Yu and others, and asked Chu Yuan alone: "Fourth brother should do well in the exam, right?" ”

Chu Yuan clan is the fourth, and he is older than Xu He, although the two belong to two surnames, they are both teenagers, and there is no word yet, so Xu He has always called him [Fourth Brother].

Chu Yuan smiled, the smile on his face just now had disappeared: "It's okay, compared to Xiaohe's case, it's not worth mentioning!" ”

Xu He hurriedly shook his head: "I haven't replied to the county order yet, so I don't dare to claim the head of the case!" ”

Chu Yuan saw that Xu He didn't have the slightest pride on his face, so he smiled and nodded and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Qian Yu laughed and said: "Okay, it's not easy to finish the exam, don't mention these bad things, while the city gate is not closed, let's hurry out of the city, I have the car ready!" ”

The Qian family is in business, so they are naturally rich, and the county tries to pick up and send the car back and forth, and all the classmates are stained with the light of Qian Yu.

When these social studies classmates got into the ox cart and drove all the way out of the city, Xujia Village in the east of the city ......

In the easternmost part of the village, in a courtyard made of yellow mud straw made of bricks, three straw houses are dilapidated.

It was already dusk, and it should have been the time when the smoke was curling, but at this moment there was a sobbing sound in the courtyard.

"My crane is by no means a cheater, I, as a mother, know my son best!" In the courtyard, a middle-aged woman wiped her tears and looked around, as if she wanted to see their affirmation of her son's character from the faces of the people around her.

At this time, an old man who was over the age of sixteen sighed and said: "The third family, this is not for us to coax you, someone in the county came to the news in the morning, saying that Xiaohe was searched because of the county test entrainment, and he touched his head to the pillar in anger...... Life and death are uncertain! ”

"No, no, He'er has been sensible since he was a child, he has always been very motivated in reading, and the neighbors are obvious to all, he, he will never do such a thing!" Mothers are still defending their sons.

"Hehe~~~~~~~~!" Suddenly, a sneer came, and I saw a frivolous young man laughing and shaking his head, which made the solemn atmosphere of the scene suddenly strange.

Everyone looked at the young man, and it turned out that the person who spoke was Xu Que, who was a scholar in the clan school.

Hearing this, the old man said angrily: "Xu Que, what are you sneering at here? ”

I saw that Xu Que smiled lightly again, with a look of disdain on his face: "I laugh at Xu He who is not self-sufficient, trying in vain to entrain, and trying to confuse the county!" He is a small student of social studies, reading some "Hundred Family Names" and "Three Character Classics", and he can recognize an account book, what's the matter? Does he still want to be admitted to the Jinshi and become a champion? Hahaha! ”

"Don't talk about him Xu He, even if he is a son of Luan, the son-in-law of the second master of the great sect, and the old Confucian in the clan studies mentions his face every day, he is just a child until now, aunt, I advise you to let Brother He rest his mind as soon as possible, and the withered vines by the wall are really used as lump materials?"

Listening to what Xu Que said, the faces of the surrounding neighbors suddenly showed indignation.

I saw a young man come out of the crowd and glared at him angrily: "Xu Que, we are all brothers of the same clan, you don't persuade your aunt, you are still in this arch fire, what do you mean?" ”

The person who spoke was dark-skinned, and his honest face was flushed.

After that, he looked at the old man and said, "Dad, I will serve this year, I see that Xu Que has become a Ding, and when someone comes from the county in the summer, I will report his name!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Que was furious: "Xu Peng, you dare to offend me for the person who cheated in the county test?" Be careful, I tell Young Master Luan, you can't make your father's position as the head of the armor! ”

The Xu Peng in Xu Que's mouth is the person who just spoke, he is the son of the old man in Huajia, he grew up with Xu He since he was a child, and he has a good relationship.

Their family is also surnamed Xu, and the old man Xu is the first chief in this village.

The first chief of the Great Wei is responsible for the annual service, urging money and grain, and taking care of official affairs, and Xu Que's family is among the ten households under his jurisdiction, so Xu Peng has such a saying.

However, the first chief is only elected by the village, and he can report to the county, and to tell the truth, he has no real power.

Therefore, Xu Que was still annoyed just now, but the next second he sneered: "Xu Peng, do you really treat your father as an official?" It's really summer, I'll ask Young Master Luan to say something about the second master, you see if your father's words are useful, or the second master's words are useful! ”

"You!" Xu Peng was blocked by his words, and he was speechless for a long time.

Xu Que said proudly: "Hehe! In the past, you laughed at me as Young Master Luan's dog, saying that this Xu He studied hard, and his future was limitless! ”

"How now? The hard work and study in your eyes are all pretended, and in the end, it is not a county test fraud, which has lost the face of our Xu family! ”

"Phew!" After that, he spit on the ground with a mouthful of phlegm, and his face was full of the pleasure of [revenge]!

Mother Xu was even more desperate when she saw this, how could she still control the appearance of Xu Que's villain at this moment.

I saw her suddenly stand up, wipe her tears and walk out the door.

The old captain was afraid that something would happen to her, so he hurriedly said, "The third family, where are you going?" ”

Xu He's mother, Xie Shi, wiped her tears with her fist and choked up: "Big brother, I will beg Uncle Song, even if I kneel in front of Uncle Song, I will ask him to save my son!" ”

Uncle Song refers to the big house of the Xu family, and Xu Song, the patriarch of the Xu family, he is a Jinshi of Chunde for 16 years, and now he is dismissed at home, and he lives in seclusion on weekdays, but after all, he is a high-ranking official who has been the governor of Yingtian, and he is very influential in Hailing and even Nanzhili.

But helplessly, Xu Song is the son of the big sect, and Xu He and their branch are from the small sect, so the two families have no contact except for worshipping their ancestors, and even the people of the big sect don't look down on the small sect and their branch on weekdays.

However, she couldn't write two [Xu] words in one stroke, and Xu's mother gritted her teeth and decided that even if she knelt in front of the door of the Xu family today, she would ask her uncle Xu Song to come forward to save her son.

At this moment, the sound of wheels crushing the dirt road suddenly came from outside the hospital.

Hearing this, the old chief Jia's heart tightened: "It's a disaster, there is a car, I'm afraid it's not from the county, right?" ”

Xu Que laughed: "Someone from the county is here, and it must be Xu He's family to go to the prison to deliver food!" ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts all "chuckled".

But what should come will come eventually.

The old armor chief was a man after all, he gritted his teeth and pushed open the courtyard door.

Seeing this, Mother Xu was also dead-faced, and staggered out of the yard.

When the old man opened the courtyard door nervously, he was suddenly stunned by the scene in front of him.

And Xu Mu, who followed behind him, also looked at the person who came dumbfounded.
