readx;
Even so, I waited until the bell rang and the supervising teacher said that after handing in the papers, Ma Lang handed in the papers and walked out, his body and mind relaxed a lot, and he was about to leave, when someone stopped him behind him, and when he saw that it was the supervising teacher, he didn't know why.

"Ma Lang is right, very good, good, work hard, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me, by the way, my name is Wang Tong, you can call me Teacher Wang, right here, if you have something, you can find me, hehehe, little guy, come on." Wang Tong said very happily, now I just want to see his test papers, how are the answers, but say hello first.
"Yes, Mr. Wang. Ma Lang nodded inexplicably, his eyes were still confused, and he didn't know what was going on.
Wang Tong didn't care when he saw it, maybe he really didn't know these rules, forget it, he would know it later, and left with a smile.
When the other candidates saw it, they looked at him with envy, and many people were also jealous, but looking at such a bad dress, there was nothing to say, all like this, what else to say, and then they went their own ways, planning to try their own way, as long as there were more things, they should be able to pass the annual exam, which is the biggest confidence of their wealthy families.
Ma Lang walked out of the college where the examination was held, and when he looked up, he realized that this was the county college, that is, the largest college in a county, and it was said that the township examination students seemed to have to gather here to study in order to go to a higher city to study, that is, to take the exam in the big county town.
When the catchers saw him, they immediately led the old horse over, and said with a smile: "Little boy, how did you do in the exam?"
"Thank you, uncle, you should be able to take the test, I don't know, the first time I came, I still need a teacher's evaluation. Ma Lang still said a little shyly, arrogance is not good, a slight self-confidence is enough, there is a wider way to go in the future.
Catch quickly listened, that is, nodded knowingly, and then said: "Then come on, be careful on the road, I wish you the test." ”
Ma Lang said 'thank you', then led the horse and left, looking at the things in the small county, Tianma County is just a small show, it is said that some big counties are very large, compared to Tianma County, it is definitely very small, if the city where the center of a province is located, it will be bigger, and I don't know if I can go, this is a dream, I hope it can succeed.
When I returned to my own house, I returned to my previous life, leading the old horse to rest on the bank of the slope, reading with a book, reminiscing about the wonders, sometimes I was amusing the old horse to play, and the square was quite open, and my heart was very happy.
"Well, your kid is still sleeping here, why don't you go and help your eldest brother harvest the grain, don't you want to eat next year?" His sister-in-law shouted very sharply, and she still watched this labor force closely, and she would grasp it to work when she had the opportunity to make herself more comfortable.
When the people in the village heard this, they shook their heads one by one, bullying people can't be bullied like this, although they sympathize, but that's their own business, and they will be scolded if they manage it, many people have been scolded by her, and now they can only say that they have great sympathy for Ma Lang.
Not only can't they eat at all, but they also have to do things for nothing, it's simply unreasonable, and all of them have very angry looks on their faces.
"What do you see, I'm talking about him, not you, are you willing to follow him to do work, or go instead of him, look at him like this, and took a broken book, thinking that he can pass the exam in this way, it's just a fool's dream, being a horse boy, being a horse boy all his life, and wanting to be an official, it's just a dream, hum, don't go quickly. ”
Seeing her vividness, Ma Lang was also helpless, so he could only put away the books and go to work, after all, he was his brother.
The people in the village were even more angry to death, pointing at her and not knowing what to say, what do people do to take the exam, you can also take the exam if you have the ability, who won't let you go, but you can't say it, for Ma Lang to take the exam can only be regarded as a child's joke, anyway, the first time is free, basically there is no next time, but you can't talk too much, hit people.
Just as Ma Lang's sister-in-law wanted to exert her power again, a gong sounded, and then she ran over quickly, shouting: "Who is Ma Lang here, who is Ma Lang?"
When everyone came to their senses, Qi Qi pointed to Ma Lang, who was about to do work, but Ma Lang was at a loss, as for his sister-in-law, seeing that someone was coming, he was frightened, and he didn't dare to speak for a while, and subconsciously retreated and pushed.
"Congratulations, congratulations, Ma Xiucai, congratulations on winning the first place in the annual exam, this is your reward, by the way, I will go to the county seat tomorrow, that is, where you will take the exam, where someone will arrange it for you, you're welcome, we're leaving." "The person who came to report the news, knowing Ma Lang's situation, naturally didn't care about any more, and most people would give some thank-you gifts, but he was too poor.
It's just that the villagers nearby, one by one, it sounds incredible, Ma Lang actually took the first place in the exam, which is the biggest happy event in the village, and the village chief who heard the letter came in stride, and immediately replaced Ma Lang to think about the messenger and said: "Thank you, thank you, Ma Lang of our village really took the first place in the annual exam?"
"But no, you see this is a reward, there is also a certificate of the county's method, and some are fake, absolutely true. The messenger said patiently, although there is no bride price, but it is also the first place, which is enough.
The village chief immediately took a look, and it was true, so he immediately took out a bride price and handed it over: "A little thank you gift, it is not a tribute, accept it, accept it, you also know that Ma Lang, this child, can have such a person born in our village, but it is the blessing of our village." ”
When the messenger heard this, he accepted it, then arched his hand, repeated it to Ma Lang, and left.
Soon Ma Lang was cheered by the people in the village, he didn't expect that there would really be such a talent in their village, which is amazing.
When many people were about to go to Ma Lang's sister-in-law, they found that they had already left in disgrace, and they didn't dare to stop, just the identity of a showman, and it was not that she could be insulted at will, once the court knew about it, she would definitely be held accountable, and the consequences would be terrible.
"Thank you, village chief grandpa, thank you uncles and aunts, thank you for taking care of you, otherwise, I wouldn't have survived. With tears in his eyes, Ma Lang trembled and held the certificate of Xiucai, and thanked everyone, infinitely grateful in his heart.
The village chief immediately stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "Okay, well, you can't forget your roots, so it's good, we can rest assured, tomorrow we will let people help you renovate your house, how to say it's also a show, by the way, this is your reward, take it, don't be so embarrassed, everyone will rely on you in the future, and in the future, you will be a big official, and bring some reputation to the village, that's enough." ”
"Well, grandpa the village chief, don't worry, I will be a good official, and I will definitely not disappoint the grandpa of the village chief, please rest assured. Ma Lang naturally knows what the village chief's grandfather said, there has been no talent in the village for many years, and even if there is, it is many times, where can he compare with him, he will be successful at one time, and he will be the first place, this gap, this comparison, it is obvious.
"Okay, everyone will have fun tonight and celebrate our Ma Xiucai, but we can't let people slack off. ”
The people in the village are happy to accept it, such a thing is a good thing, if it is in the future again to raise people or something, it would be the best, and then arrange to celebrate, and he was pulled by the village chief to speak, teaching a lot of principles of life and doing things, there will be no trouble on some issues, this is necessary, otherwise, how to mix in the officialdom in the future.
That night, Ma Lang was very happy to return to his hut, but he was lying in the stable, talking to the old horse.
"Lao Ma, I finally succeeded, and now I am a Xiucai, you see, this is my proof, it will be better in the future. ”
Lao Ma also stretched out his tongue and licked him, in order to congratulate him, although he gave help, but more still need to work hard, now to achieve such results, naturally his own efforts, so good, but also live up to his expectations, he can stay here for a while, take a good look at his career, I hope he will live happily for the rest of his life.
"Lao Ma, I will work harder in the future, I will never give up, this is the opportunity God gave me, I will never give up, my life's dream is here, Lao Ma, I will succeed, I will never let myself fail, are you right?"
Lao Ma can only rub him, there are a lot of roads in the future, even the officialdom has a lot of deceitful things, it is very difficult to be an official who maintains integrity, as for the outcome in the future, it depends on his heart, people's minds are the most elusive, even if they are together for so many years, I just hope he can go on the right path, otherwise...
Ma Lang fell asleep in the stable with the old horse in his arms, dreaming that he was a big official, as if he was showing off his might, and in an instant, it was because of misconduct, and finally ended up with the whole family beheaded, and suddenly he woke up scared, his head was full of cold sweat, what is going on, do you really remind yourself, although it is a dream, but dreams are sometimes very omens, no, absolutely not.
Thinking of this, I can't become such a big official, so what's the use of reading those many sage books, I must definitely be a good official, and I can't be degraded.
