    ?

    The news that Jiang Liu was going to take the county examination soon spread throughout Qingyang Village, and even people in some nearby villages heard about it.

    Although there is no express restriction on the age of the examinees in the imperial examination, generally speaking, those who take the county examination are teenagers in their teens and twenties. Occasionally, those who take the imperial examination are under the age of ten.  A well-bred boy.

    The son of an ordinary widow in the countryside has only studied for more than a year, so how can he have the confidence to take the scientific examination.

    Not only the people outside the village were waiting to see the joke, but even the family members in the village were very puzzled.

    It's no wonder that others underestimated Jiang Liu. After all, the concept of difficult imperial examinations has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. I haven't seen a bunch of scholars who have failed in the village. Although Jiang Fangzheng often praises Jiang Liu as a student, he himself is a scholar.  , How much can he believe what he said?

    "Yun Niang, don't you persuade your Da Lang, are you really following his will and letting him waste his money?"

    Early in the morning, Meng Yunniang was hammering and washing clothes on the edge of the river, and a group of women who used to get along well with her kindly persuaded her.

    You must know that the exam is not free. There are three items in the examination process of the department report, personal confession, mutual bond, and bond.

    The first two items are very simple. The personal confession is to fill in the candidate's age, place of origin, physique, and appearance characteristics. In addition, fill in the three generations of direct blood relatives.  Five people sit together.

    The first two are easy, the trouble is the last one.

    The so-called bond is to ask the county clerk to provide a guarantee to ensure that the examinee does not fake his identity, hide his funeral, use a substitute, or use a pseudonym, and ensure that the examinee is innocent.  It has become a default custom to give money compensation when asking granaries to be guarantors.

    Generally speaking, it costs at least one or two taels of silver to ask a granary student to apply for a guarantee. Every year during the county examination, the granary student can use this to make a small fortune.  It's a bit unbearable.

    Everyone felt that Jiang Liu's taking the exam was like playing for fun, and it was a waste of money, so out of good intentions, they wanted to persuade Meng Yunniang.

    "Da Lang is quite confident. I'm just such a son. If he wants to take the exam, I have to support it even if I tighten my belt."

    Meng Yunniang has confidence in her son. Her Dalang is the best in the world. The other party said that he is sure to be admitted to Tongsheng, and even wants to be a scholar. Naturally, Meng Yunniang has to support it.

    "A loving mother often loses her sons."

    Her ideas are so upright, and others don't have much to say, they can only sigh that the son raised by the widowed mother is indeed extremely spoiled, and she is afraid that if Meng Yunniang spoils her like this, she will spoil her unfilial son in the future.

    Su Panyun listened to the conversation of several people when he was hammering and washing the big winter padded jacket on the other side, then hastily passed the padded jacket through the water, and went home nervously.

    "I heard that Dafang is going to take the county examination. If he is lucky enough to pass, we will have trouble with Mr. Xiucai's mother."

    Su Panyun was a little flustered. Although Guanshi Liu was the housekeeper of Wang Ju's family, he was just a slave. I had never heard that a slave could accept a scholar's mother as a child.

    "Heh, the patriarch is so confused, so are you, believing that a seven-year-old toothless child can pass the examination for a scholar?"

    Jiang Erchun also heard the rumors these days, but he didn't take it to heart at all: "In my opinion, he is extremely lucky to be able to pass the Tongsheng exam this time.  Forget it."

    The gap between a Tongsheng and a scholar is huge. The so-called Tongsheng, if you kill ten scholars, maybe seven or eight are Tongsheng. When the scandal comes out from his mother, it doesn¡¯t matter whether he can still study. There is nothing to be afraid of.  .

    "Women are women, and they look forward and backward in doing things. Let me tell you, this time is our good opportunity."

    Jiang Erchun found out that during the period when Jiangliu was taking part in the scientific examination, Meng Yunniang would follow her to the county town, and then they would have a chance to play tricks.

    Jiang Erchun squinted his eyes, full of ruthlessness¡ª¡ª

    In order to prevent accidents, the candidates set off ten days in advance, and Jiang Fangzheng led the team to the county seat.

    One night, after everyone was asleep, two furtive shadows appeared in front of the Jiang family's old house.

    "You should use some strength."

    Su Panyun stepped on Jiang Erchun's shoulder and whispered to him.

    "Whatever you eat to get so fat, the sow is better than you."

    Jiang Erchun couldn't help complaining a few words, no wonder he couldn't hug this woman when he was on the kang.?In terms of calligraphy, it is slightly inferior to the second and third candidates.  "

    Before breaking the seal, the examiners were still very satisfied with the case they had judged. They had solid basic skills, and their speeches were sound. Although the poems they wrote lacked a bit of aura, they could rhyme well and be catchy, not handed down from generation to generation.  This work can also be called a small boutique.

    The question is that this examinee is too young, a seven-year-old child, if word spreads, will people think that these examiners judged him unfairly.

    "I don't think so. The results were determined by us before we opened the seal. That is to say, we agree with the value of this paper. Now because of his age, he will be deprived of the title of the first place, and the original second will be the county's chief. For us  How can this little child prodigy talk about fairness?"

    Some people also spoke for Jiang Liu. Anyway, after the results are announced, the top three papers will be announced together. Whether they are favoritism or not is naturally judged by all scholars.

    Neither of the two sides could convince anyone, so they turned their attention to the county magistrate who had never spoken.

    And the county magistrate at this moment has already fallen into deep thought.

    For the seven-year-old county chief, the examiners wondered whether he could convince the public at this age, and the county magistrate thought more.

    Seven years old, for most people, this is still the age of playing with mud or enlightenment, and the county under his jurisdiction already has a child prodigy who may not be able to meet one in thousands of years.

    The seven-year-old county chief is not only the glory of the other party, but also his achievements as the county magistrate. If the other party can win three yuan in the government and hospital examinations all the way, I am afraid that even the one in the capital will be shocked.  .

    At the end of the year when he will report on his work, and his achievements will be written up, his position will not be able to move up.

    The more I thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and the county magistrate no longer hesitated, and made a decision directly. This time, the seven-year-old child prodigy was the chief case.

    The county magistrate spoke up, and naturally the two parties who had been arguing ceased their bickering, and hurriedly entered the list of candidates who passed the county examination, and the case will be reported tomorrow morning¡ª¡ª

    It was dawn, and there were already many people guarding outside the county bulletin board, and when the red list came out, it was even more crowded in an instant.

    "It's over, I'm over!"

    "Master, I didn't see your name."

    "Why didn't you see my name? Hurry up and read it a few more times. Maybe you missed it."

    Some people were happy and some were worried, but Jiang Liu was very calm when he heard these words. He sat at the wonton booth with the beautiful woman and ordered two bowls of wontons.

    Seeing him like this, Jiang Fangzheng felt that he was not someone in the pool. Just this bearing alone was not what ordinary seven-year-old children would have. Fortunately, he was more than 20 years older than him, and he was a generation older than him.  His endurance is not as good as his.

    "Why is the head of the case a seven-year-old child, he hasn't been weaned at this age."

    "Did I read it wrong, is it seventeen, not seven?"

    Another burst of discussion reached the ears of several people at the wonton stall. Jiang Fangzheng stood up suddenly, and then rushed to the bulletin board.

    Seven years old!  seven years old!

    Did he hear correctly? Even though he had high hopes for Jiang Liu, he never thought that Jiang Liu would be the top case in the county.

    But he knew very well that Jiang Liu was the only seven-year-old boy who took the exam this time. Not surprisingly, the county case in everyone's mouth was Jiang Liu of their Jiang clan.

    Jiang Fangzheng's heart was burning hot. He pushed away the candidates crowded in front of the bulletin board one after another, and then aimed at the first name on the red list, carefully checking the other party's place of origin, name, and age.

    "Yes, yes!"

    He repeated several times, that the Jiang clan might be about to rise.

    "Hahaha!"

    Jiang Fangzheng was very happy, "See, the chief of the county case is only seven years old. He is of the same clan as me. He has been weaned and is still eating wontons."

    Holding on to one person, Jiang Fangzheng had to say a few words excitedly.

    Jiang Liu, who watched the whole process, looked at the bowl of steaming wontons in front of him, and suddenly lost his appetite for eating them.

    He raised his head, and was about to say a few words to the beautiful lady, but found that at some point, the opposite mother had already burst into tears.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
