Chapter 68: 68th

Finally, after finishing the county test, Chen Xiran relieved all the psychological burden and slept directly until three poles of the sun.

After he woke up, the little book boy dared to step forward and ask: "How well did the young master take the exam?"

Chen Xiran said: "Not bad."

"What about Master Li?"

"I don't know this, but he handed in his answer sheet half a day in advance."

By the time he went to the table for dinner, the little book boy had already boarded the car back to town with other people, and had to pass the news to the old lady first.

The little book boy wanted to ask about Li Jin's exam, so he could take the letter back together, but Li Jin went out early in the morning, and then went out after eating dinner.

He never found the opportunity.

Mr. Song watched Master Chen bring the book boy to the door and knew that this was a message.

Quickly stood up and said, "How are they doing on the exam?"

Master Chen was a bit...sad when he was excited.

Mr. Song feels that something is wrong.

Master Chen asked the book boy to say what Chen Xiran said.

"Young Master said that he did a good job in the exam, but Young Master Li handed in the answer paper half a day in advance."

Mr. Song almost broke the cup by mistake!

"Li Jin, can't he or he write?"

You know, in everyone's stereotype, people who hand in their answer papers about an hour in advance will get the top rankings in the imperial examinations.

Because it means that they have finished writing, but because they have learned to be rich, they write faster than others.

And the students who waited until the last minute to hand in their answer papers were generally quite satisfactory. Can they say otherwise?

But if it takes only half a day to hand in the answer sheet, there are only two possibilities, either because the person is too good, or it is just a blank paper.

When the county magistrate saw Li Jin handing in the paper at noon, he also secretly scanned Li Jin's answer sheet, worrying that this extraordinary young man would hand in a blank paper.

Mr. Song only got this sentence here, and the whole person was a little lost. After all, Li Jin is a student he has high hopes for.

Although Master Chen regrets Li Jin, he still values ​​his own Chen Xiran more, so there is still a little joy on his face.

But Mr. Song obviously prefers Li Jin, who is serious, practical and smart.

That's why he has more lost expressions on his face. He didn't even have a meal that night, and he was still muttering before going to bed, "How could there be something A Jin could not have?"

He has covered all the content of the county test! Li Jin also wrote perfectly.

Mr. Song’s wife said, “Maybe A Jin wrote this quickly. Don’t worry too much.”

But even so, Mr. Song didn't feel much comfort. He didn't sleep well all night, and when he lectured to the students the next day, his eyes were dark.

Huang Xiucai received the news that all three of her students performed well, so she came to share with Mr. Song at noon that day.

The anxiety on Mr. Song's face is obvious, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

Huang Xiucai asked a few words, Mr. Song just waved his hand and didn't speak, and Huang Xiucai was not good at continuing to ask, but he also knew that it was probably because Mr. Song's student failed the exam.

I just don't know if this person is Li Jin or Chen Xiran.

The result of the county test was originally something everyone was waiting for, and the expressions of the two talents directly conveyed two different messages.

Many people who had been on the sidelines also made a direct decision and sent their children to Huang Xiucai's.

When the group came back three days later, the two talents had asked their students to find out that only three arithmetic questions were taken in the last one!

Huang Yiling looked at her husband and thought that Mr. Song's student had failed the exam, and she gave a little gloat.

Helplessly said: "Sir, Li Jin handed in the answer sheet half a day in advance, not because he can't, but because he wrote everything correctly."

Then he took the group to the teahouse the next afternoon, and happened to meet a student from the county town (the best among scholars) discussing the answers to three arithmetic problems with his classmates.

Huang Yiling's face turned pale when she heard it. Because he has determined that his second question is wrong.

Among the five, only Li Jin got it right. Chen Xiran's answer was wrong, but the process was right.

As for the third question, many students in the county town were unable to write it out, but after a collective discussion, they still figured out the answer.

Huang Yiling looked at Li Jin's unchanged expression and asked him quietly.

Li Jin didn't lie, only said that his answer was the same.

Speaking of this, Huang Yiling smiled bitterly: "I don't know if I can get it, but A Jin will definitely get it, and he can still rank in the top."

The county test will be released about twenty days later. After all, the next "Fu Test" will have to go to Fucheng in April.

The county test list is not written down in rows like ordinary rankings, and arranged from high to low. It’s the “round list”, which only writes the candidate’s seat number. The round list is written in circles like a wheel [Note]. In the middle of the list, write a “zhong” with vermilion pen and ink. Vertically long and short, the seat number at the head of the case is just above the'zhong', which is one word higher than the others.

The rest are ranked counterclockwise, with the fiftyth place just on the right side of the case.

Therefore, although the county test is a round list, it seems that there is no ranking, but people who really test know that this is still ranked.

After hearing Huang Yiling's words, Huang Xiucai was stunned slightly, looking at the Shu Xiuli received on her desktop in the past few days, suddenly her right eyelid jumped.

Of course he knew that those people were looking at the faces of him and Song Xiucai, mistakenly thinking that his students did well in the exam this year, so they came to apprentice the teacher.

But if it is Li Jin High School in the end... then it may be very painful.

However, there is no round list yet, and Mr. Huang can only continue to wait.

Huang Yiling didn't expect it anymore. Xu Zifan had taken the county test before, and he would probably pass it this time. Huang Xiucai only hopes that Xu Zifan will get a good place this time.

As for the position of the case leader, Huang Xiucai has never even thought about it. Can their small town be the case leader? how can that be possible.

However, there will be people who will come to the Huang Mansion to apprentice in the future. Huang Xiucai told those people in advance: "Mr. Song's two students also did very well this time. You'd better make your decision carefully."

When Li Jin returned to the village, Qin Muwen waited for him for nearly ten days. Hearing the sound of the courtyard door, he came out of the kitchen with a shovel for cooking.

"A Jin."

Li Jin didn't care about putting down his back basket, and wanted to hug him, but Qin Muwen said, "I'm cooking, and I am dirty..."

Before he finished speaking, he was hugged by Li Jin: "I miss you, Wenwen."

After the meal, the village head heard that Li Jinhui was coming, and he made a special visit to ask him how he did in the exam.

Li Jin smiled and said, "It's okay."

Seeing the smile on his face, the village chief knew that his test was not bad, and said: "The love letter you put in my place..."

Li Jin said: "Burn it, the villagers have accepted him."

"it is good!"

Qin Muwen didn't know what they were talking about, he was taking care of the little bun in the back room.

Recently, Xiao Baozi had another pointed tooth, and occasionally whispered ‘babble’ in his mouth.

In the days when Li Jin was away, Qin Muwen taught Xiao Baozi to call "Daddy" when he was free, but Xiao Baozi obviously hadn't reached the month of learning Chinese, so he could call him after a while.

It was ten days after Li Jin went out. After returning, it was rare that Xiao Baozi remembered him, and he started to laugh when he was held in his arms.

Li Jin couldn't help but kissed his cub's cheek.

The little bun called: "Eh!" At the same time he stretched out his hand and pulled Li Jin's hair.

Li Jin now has long hair, and one of them didn't notice, and was dragged by Xiao Baozi's chubby claws to a strand of hair.

But this child is not skinny, and he didn't slap his father's hair directly, but he didn't get any better because he stuffed it directly into his mouth.

Qin Muwen hurried over to save Li Jin's hair, and at the same time stuffed him with the cotton toy sewn for the little bun.

Little Bun's attention was still attracted by Li Jin's hair, and he tried to catch it again, and was not serious at all.

Li Jin held the soft little creature in his arms, and finally stuffed the little bun with his hair before the little bun was about to cry.

Qin Muwen watched all this, protecting the little bun's paws to prevent him from eating his hair, and said helplessly: "A Jin is going to spoil the buns."

Which family's children can hold the head of the family's hair so presumptuously?

In addition, in contemporary times, people are generally separated from each other, that is to say, as a father, he must be serious about his children and let the children submit to his own majesty, and he must not be rebellious.

On the contrary, they are grandparents, so they can spoil their grandchildren more.

Li Jin said: "Baozi is my first child. How can I not spoil him when I watched the birth?"

Moreover, the child has a cinnabar mole on the eyebrows, handsome and lovable, and people can't help but want to hug him.

Next, when Xiao Baozi's second tooth grew out, he finally waited for it to be released.

Because Qin Muwen had to take care of the little bun, it was difficult to go to town with Li Jin. Li Zhuzi also knew the importance of putting on the list, so he drove the bullock cart to Zai Li Jin early that morning.

Li Jin is the only student in the entire Hongyan Village to participate in the county test. If Li Jin can be successful, the village head will also be rewarded, proving that he is a good village head.

However, in the view of the village chief, rewards are of secondary importance. It would be a great honor for them to have another talent in Hongyan Village!

By the time Li Jin arrived in town, the yaman responsible for publishing the list had already arrived, but the entire list was covered with a piece of red silk, and it would not be published until later.

There were three circles inside and outside three circles around them. Some people, even if they were not family members of the examinee, wanted to be happy.

The book boy from Chen Xiran's family saw Li Jin and quickly pointed him to Chen Xiran's location.

"Master Li, my master is waiting for you in the teahouse opposite, and you can see the announcement directly there for a while."

Li Jin looked up and saw Chen Xiran face him with a big face, "A Jin, come up."

Li Jin said to Li Zhuzi before he was ready to go upstairs.

Li Jin probably drank three cups of tea, and the yamen who issued the list began to beat gongs and set off firecrackers. It was so lively.

After that, the yaman twisted a corner of the red silk, from bottom to top, with a wave of his arms——

"Listed!"

The crowd chanted: "The list is posted! The list is posted!"

Chen Xiran held his breath and looked at the circle of exam numbers, holding the teacup tightly in his hand, the tea inside was still full, without moving.

Li Jin was also very excited. Although he was not a native of ancient times, he could find other ways to earn a living even if he did not participate in the imperial examination.

But at this moment, he couldn't help putting down his teacup and staring at the one-meter long list.

By the way, what is his exam number?

One hundred and thirty-two.

Li Jin looked around, and his heart jumped upright, but he hadn't seen his exam number yet. Over there, Chen Xiran dropped the cup and started cheering and jumping.

"A Jin, A Jin, I am hit! I am hit!"

Li Jin was silent for a moment and said, "Congratulations."

Chen Xiran then cheered: "A Jin, you are the case leader! Why are you so calm?"

The author has something to say: 　　 Li Jin: I did not find myself...
