Since the third exam, not only Xu He, but all the students of Yangzhou Mansion School have collapsed.

When he returned to the champion building, he fell asleep in the dark.

Among them, a few sick seedlings who lacked exercise on weekdays even fell directly.

This made Gao Bi and the others busy, and Yan Yi bought medicine and decoction for those guys to drink, so that no one died.

Otherwise, if you are hit, you will be gone.

It's so tragic.

The next thing is to wait for the release of the list, Xu He and others just feel scratching their livers and scratching their hearts, they don't taste good when they eat, and they don't sleep well.

Time, the wild donkey, is lame after all, and it can kill people slowly.

Zhuangyuanlou couldn't stay anymore, but fortunately, at this time, he found out about the restaurant rented by Hailing County School, and Xu He searched for it.

I heard from the guys that the students of Hailing County School live in the Four Seas Inn on Liujia Street.

But Xu He followed the path pointed out by the guy, searched for a long time, and found that he should have arrived at the place a long time ago.

And what is written on the wooden sign standing on the side of the street [Qingyun Road].

Just when Xu He wondered if he was going the wrong way, someone suddenly surprised behind him: "Bright voice." ”

Xu He turned his head and looked, hey, isn't this an old acquaintance?

It turned out that he was called the county test and the government test, and the yamen gave Wu Minzhi, the designated guard.

Wu Minzhi is in his Chinese New Year's Eve, and his studies are also top-notch in Hailing County.

But in recent years, the examination luck has not been good, and I have failed the township test twice in a row, and I have been stumbling for six years, and this is the third time I have hit the township test.

"Brother Jiecai, it's you, how did you do in this subject?" Xu He said with a smile.

Wu Minzhi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I think the article is well done, but that's what I think, I don't know what the examiner thinks." ”

After speaking, he spread his hands, very helpless.

However, Wu Minzhi admired the one in front of him very much.

I remember that when Xu He was guaranteed for the first time in the county test, it was only last year.

I didn't expect that it had only been a year, and people had already gone to the township exam like themselves.

It's really more popular than people.

"Liangsheng, why are you here?" Wu Minzhi asked.

Xu He smiled bitterly: "Didn't I hear that the students of Hailing County live in the Sihai Inn on Liujia Street, I want to come to Chuyuan and talk to them, who knows that they may have touched the wrong place and ran to this Qingyun Road!" ”

Wu Minzhi laughed and said, "This is Liu's small street!" ”

Xu Hehu looked suspiciously at the sign on the side of the road.

Wu Minzhi said: "This thing was written by Chu Yuan before the township test, and he said that it was for us to get a good fortune!" ”

Xu He suddenly realized and smiled: "Okay, I thought I was wrong." ”

Wu Minzhi was fine anyway, and just led Xu He back to the Four Seas Inn.

Just walked into the inn, this place is much worse than the environment of the champion building.

There happened to be a county school scholar waiting in the lobby to release the list.

Someone who knew Xu He happily greeted: "Liangsheng, why are you here?" ”

"Yes, Liangsheng, I heard that you entered the school? It's a pity, I'm still thinking about asking you for advice when you come in! ”

"Liangsheng, come and sit at my house when you go back!"

……

Xu He smiled and hugged his fists at everyone one by one.

After a while, Chu Yuan hurriedly walked out of the backyard, and his eyes were red when he saw his fellow social student.

"Okay, you Xu Liangsheng!" He punched Xu He's arm and scolded with a smile: "You still know that you are from our Hailing!" ”

Xu He sighed and said, "It's all arranged by the family, by the way, how did you do in the exam this time?" ”

Chu Yuan said with a smile: "According to the method you taught, read more and write more, fortunately I listened to your words and insisted on writing ten essays every day, otherwise this township test would be to accompany the prince to study!" ”

Xu He was pleasantly surprised: "It seems that you did well in the exam!" ”

Chu Yuan shook his head embarrassedly and said, "How do you know this!" ”

At this moment, the conversation between the two was interrupted by the sound of a gong outside.

The shopkeeper and the guy in the inn were startled when they heard the sound of the gong and said, "I'm afraid that there is a fire in one of the surrounding houses!" ”

Everyone hurriedly got up and wanted to go out to have a look.

……

Rewind the day before yesterday.

Gu Shouyuan smiled and said to the curtain officials and Wang Liangchen: "Finally, after reading it, the rankings have been discharged." Finally, nothing went wrong, and I was relieved. ”

The deputy examiners and fellow examiners laughed and said: "Nanzhili is a candidate in this township, thanks to the thoughtfulness of the examiner. ”

Wang Liangchen said with a smile: "Mingshan, this year's township test is not easy, and you haven't closed your eyes for a few days, why don't you rest and let others write the list?" ”

Gu Shouyuan laughed and said: "It's the most exciting time, how can I sleep, of course, I should not let it!" ”

When everyone heard this, there was another burst of laughter.

The township test writing list is not a random scribble, and there are very big rules in it.

First of all, let's start with the sixth place.

The deputy chief examiner read: "The sixth place in the township test, Xie Daozhi of Jiangdu County, Yangzhou Prefecture!" ”

When Wang Liangchen heard that it was him, he smiled and said: "The son of the Yiling family is a family scholar!" ”

If this was a normal remark, he would never have mentioned Xie Daozhi on such an occasion.

But this is a strict township test, everyone can see it, and there will never be any fraud, so Wang Liangchen said it very frankly.

After writing the sixth place, you have to keep writing, Nanzhili should be Tianfu's township test solution, that is, the number of admitted people is 135, this number is fixed, not more, not less.

There will never be the kind of future life, I think your volume is not bad, let go of the situation that let you live.

Therefore, when the deputy chief examiner read a person's name, Gu Shouyuan wrote down the list in turn until he was the one hundred and thirty-fifth in the township examination.

Gu Shouyuan wrote here, and Wang Liangchen listened to it, and the names of the 130 township test lifters had all come out.

There are a lot of students in Yangzhou Mansion.

But the name of the person he was most looking forward to never appeared.

"Xu He, should he be affected by the pre-exam and did not do well in the exam?" Wang Liangchen frowned, worried in his heart.

After writing one hundred and thirty people, there are still the top five left.

There is a saying for the top five in the township test.

Because the top five are the first in each room, it is called [Five Classics], and when writing the list, it needs to be written backwards.

That is, starting from the fifth, the first place is written last.

Moreover, the first place must be won by the main examiner, and the second place must be won by the deputy examiner.

From the third place to the eighteenth, each of the sixteen room officials occupies one of them, which is called Fang Yuan.

If the volume pushed by the chamberlor of one room is not within the eighteen, the other chamberlor who has recorded two will give him one of them, and the main score is average.

The predecessors had a poem "Green poplars are divided into two springs", which is what they said.

At this time, the deputy examiner began to read the list of the Pentateuch.

fifth place, Han Hejian, Taiping County, Ningguo Prefecture.

Fourth place, Fang Younan, Pei County, Xuzhou Prefecture.

third place, Gong Kun, Shanyang County, Huai'an Prefecture.

Second place, Wujin County, Changzhou Prefecture, Fu Ding.

When everyone heard this, they all looked at the deputy examiner with bated breath.

1st Place,......
