3119. Chapter 3119

After some investigation, he asked a few people with good grades and character, but poor or poor families, and persuaded them to study while working in the county government office.

Isn't it fragrant to earn money to support yourself and study, and also to subsidize your family?

People who are poor but able to study are not far from the worst at home. If they are really poor, those who can continue to study in the county school at this time must also be people with great perseverance. Such people If you are more successful, you will naturally know how to choose what is better for yourself.

Not to mention, Bai Shan really persuaded the three of them.

He was instantly refreshed.

The county examination in Luojiang County is earlier, just as the weather here is getting warmer, and the farming will be busy soon.

Zhou Lizhong entered the examination room for the first time in so many years. Not to mention, although he did the papers in private according to the rules of the examination room as told by his aunt and uncle, he was still very nervous when he sat in the examination room.

He swallowed and pressed his heart, feeling too nervous, so he took out a medicine bag and put it in front of his nose to smell it.

A cool smell was inhaled from his nose, and his mind was clear. He took a deep breath and slowly calmed down. Then he put the medicine bag aside and looked down at the paper in his hand.

The county magistrate who invigorated the examination swept across the students sitting below, and saw the medicine bag that Zhou Lizhong had put down, so he paced over, bent down, picked up the medicine bag and smelled it...

County magistrate: ...

He was refreshed and refreshed, looked down at Zhou Lizhong, saw that he was answering the question, and didn't notice his arrival at all, so he twitched the corners of his mouth, put down the medicine bag, and went to see other students.

When the exam was over at noon, Zhou Lizhong nervously turned over the paper again, making sure that he had written everything that could be written, and it was quite full, so he breathed a sigh of relief and handed in the paper respectfully.

After leaving the county office, the classmates who sat behind him and left and right immediately surrounded him, grabbed him and asked, "What did you take in the exam room just now?"

Zhou Lizhong took out the medicine bag, "You mean this?"

One person took it quickly, and followed Zhou Lizhong's way to smell it, and his eyes widened.

"What's the matter, what's wrong, I seem to smell a fragrance. This is a sachet? Why not make a sachet? It's too cheap to sew only with gauze."

Zhou Lizhong: "I made it casually. My needlework is not very good, so I can't make a sachet."

"What about your wife?"

"She's in the capital," Zhou Li said, "she's an imperial physician, how can she come back with me for the exam?"

Crowd:  …

The three suppressed their sadness and jealousy, and the other hurriedly grabbed the medicine bag, "What do I smell..."

With just one breath, his eyes narrowed.

"What's the matter, what's the matter, I smelled..."

"Clear mind, good stuff, what is this?"

"Mint," said one person, "you can tell that there is mint when you smell this cool smell."

Zhou Li said heavily: "My sister-in-law gave me a refreshing medicine bag, saying that if you are nervous during the exam, or if you feel dizzy, you can smell it."

"I'm dizzy, Brother Zhou, do you still have this medicine bag?"

Zhou Li nodded and said, "Yes, I made some better ones when I prepared them before. If you need them, I'll get you a pack in a while, but most of them are left at home, less here."

"Fortunately, only half a day will be taken in the afternoon, which is enough."

The three of them were about to cry, and they couldn't help but ask Zhou Lizhong, "How did you answer this morning?"

The Zhou family has always been confident. Zhou Man grew up behind his ass when he was a child. Zhou Lizhong was naturally very confident. He thought about his answer carefully, and felt that there was no big problem, so he nodded and said, "I think I The writing is good, but the words are a bit ugly, and I basically answered everything I could."

At this time, the doctor of the county school and the county magistrate were grading the papers. Zhou Lizhong's papers were drawn out. The doctor looked at them one by one and pouted.

When the county magistrate saw it, he asked, "Why, the answer is very bad?" It would be difficult to go through the back door.

The doctor said in disgust: "It's okay, the post here is correct in five questions, and there are two wrong questions, but the words are too ugly."

As far as right and wrong, Zhou Lizhong's mistake is not very outrageous. He obviously got it wrong, because both articles mentioned it and the sentences were similar, so he silently made a mistake.

"But his Moyi is right." This was very unexpected for the doctors.

The magistrate went to look and found that Mo Yi was right. His eyes flashed slightly and he said with a smile, "Look at his strategy."

The doctor turned out his policy theory.

In fact, the requirements of the county examination are not so strict. It is said that it is a policy theory, but there are not too many requirements for literary talent. After all, they are only officials of the county government. Too much literary talent is not suitable.

There is not even a strict requirement for space. To call it policy theory is actually asking for some common sense in government affairs, as well as citing cases to ask about politics.

Zhou Lizhong has no literary talent, but policy theory is still his forte.

Because his younger aunt is an editor, his younger uncle has worked as a Hanlin and Zhongshu Sheren, and his wife is an imperial physician, his understanding of some government affairs is much deeper than that of ordinary students, and at the request of his younger uncle, he did not miss their studies before. Official documents, know how to write this thing, he even knows what is the most urgent problem of the court today, and his knowledge is not much worse than that of the officials in the county government.

After reading it through, the doctor raised his eyebrows and showed it to the county magistrate.

The county magistrate was overjoyed and immediately said: "Okay! It's passed, and it can be regarded as the first class."

The other doctors hurried over to look at it. Although they nodded slightly, they still said, "The words are too bad, so points should be deducted."

"There are two wrong questions in the scriptures, so it shouldn't be regarded as the first class." Everyone quietly went to see the magistrate. Although he passed it, he was rated as the first class, and it was too obvious to please?

An old doctor stroked his beard and said solemnly, "Medium is the best."

County magistrate: "...his strategy is really good."

"Isn't there a better strategy than him?" The old doctor flipped through a pile of papers and found two for the magistrate to read, "The strategies of these two papers are not under his, and they even have a little literary style. , there is nothing wrong with the scriptures and Moyi, the words are more beautiful, if Zhou Li re-determined the top grade, how should these two decide?"

"Yes, how can Zhou Lizhong be of the same quality as them?"

County magistrate: "...Okay, then wait."

It's just an official, and the other party is the Zhou family. What's wrong with opening one eye and closing one eye?

It's okay, okay, so as not to cause public anger, and the Zhou family didn't say hello to him, then let's follow the real results.

Zhou Lizhong was temporarily designated as a middle grade, but there was a math test in the afternoon, which was also very important.

The county magistrate is also worried that he is partial to the subject. Who knows that he is really partial to the subject, but it is not the theory of the classics, but the number of techniques!

Although Zhou Lizhong's words were still ugly, he got all the questions right, and even the accounts he gave.

But when the two sides are added together, he is still only in the upper middle, ranking fifth, oh, this time the county government took 12 officials, including the officials, the officials, and the prison officials.

The yamen and prison officials were left behind by the crowd. What everyone wanted to do most was the errand officials, because they were mainly the clerks and minor officials of the household, torture, and workshop, then the yamen, and finally the prison officials. .
