Because there were only more than 300 people left in the fourth exam, the chance of meeting acquaintances was a little bit higher at this time.

As soon as Li Jin and Chen Xiran went out, they collided with Huang Yiling.

Huang Yiling saw the two of them and immediately came up to say hello: "Thanks to A Jin and Brother Chen for their help, I didn't miss the prefect's book."

"polite."

Huang Yiling asked a few people which inn they were staying in. He heard that they lived in an inn two hundred meters away, and said with regret: "The three of our classmates arrived earlier and lived in the inn diagonally across from the county government. I also wanted to review my homework with you, but later found out that there were too many candidates and there was no way to find anyone."

Chen Xiran said: "Yes, Mr. Song said that at that time, the maximum number of people participating in the county test was only a hundred."

Xu Zifan took part in a county test before and has studied this.

"There are many people and there are many benefits. As far as I know, the number of people who pass the county test is about one-tenth of the number of people who take the test. We should have 50 people pass this year."

This has to thank those young people who came to "experience the atmosphere of the examination room", otherwise the number of passing will have to drop.

It was getting late, and the few people didn't have a lot of chatting, so they could only agree that after the last exam tomorrow, everyone would go to the brothel for a drink.

But Li Jin did not agree with this.

Even though he has an easygoing personality and can quickly get along with his classmates, he still has his own principles to stick to.

However, the ancient brothel is different from the brothel. Brothel is divided into grades. The lowest grade is naturally called a brothel, and most of the women in it sell their bodies.

Piaoxiangyuan in the town is of this grade.

To mention a grade, I divided the girls in the building into two groups. A few top-notch girls do not sell themselves, but if the price is high, they naturally follow the guests.

Going up further, the talents of the girls in the brothel are very brilliant.

Prior to Qinhuai’s eight great talents, Liu Rushi was not inferior to a man, but unfortunately fell into a brothel, met with unsuccessful people, and finally died with hatred.

Brothels in the county seat probably divide the girls into two categories, one is selling themselves, and the other is selling art but not selling themselves.

Li Jin thought, no matter what, the brothel was a place for literati and inkmen to have fun. He had a husband and children, so naturally he didn't plan to go in.

He can ignore the evaluation of his classmates, whether it is pedantic or rigid, Li Jin has made up his mind not to go to the brothel.

Because of this kind of place, the first time you go, the next time someone invites you, there will be no position to refuse.

If after entering, he drank more alcohol and did other things...

Li Jin thought that although he firmly believed that he would not do anything to betray the teenager, instead of testing his willpower again and again in the future, it would be better to eliminate these'possibility' one by one earlier.

Here in Li Jin, principle is always more important than face.

Chen Xiran and Li Jin are classmates, and they already know him well.

He said directly: "A Jin, don't you plan to go to the brothel tomorrow? That is the brothel in the county seat. The girl in it must be more beautiful than Piaoxiangyuan."

The corners of Li Jin's lips curled up and said, "What about the beauty of the girl? I can only pretend to be one person in my heart. Xi Ran, I apologize to them for Yi Ling tomorrow."

The Tianping in Chen Xiran's heart began to sway.

On the one hand, he has been longing for the brothel for a long time, but he was always in the control of his father before, so he could only enjoy his mouth.

On the other hand, this time, after finishing the county test with great difficulty, he was invited by a friend again, so he wanted to go with it.

But if Li Jin didn't go, if the things he stole in the county seat were passed on to his father, his father would definitely question him,'Is this the classmate you said has gone?'At that time, he had no way to excuse him, and it was estimated that he had to take care of him!

Chen Xiran clutched his head and said: "Since A Jin doesn't plan to go, then I won't go either. My father said he would tell me to kiss me when I was admitted to the show... Anyway, I don't care about waiting for another year."

Li Jin patted Chen Xiran on the shoulder, not to mention that this person always talked about going to the brothel, in fact, at most, he looked melancholy in front of the brothel.

His father is a violent temper, and he is strict with Chen Xiran in this regard. Chen Xiran really doesn't have the guts.

The next day, when the call was made, dozens of people were screened down, and many of the remaining people also had bitterness in their eyes.

This year, I added trial calculations. They didn't even know such an important thing. Yesterday I went back all night and hugged the Buddha's feet temporarily. Today I was standing here and was blown by the cold wind, and I forgot everything I had backed.

Whether you can pass the test in the end is up to your fate.

At first, Li Jin thought that the fifth test was to add one more arithmetic question after the eight-part essay and the fu.

But when he saw the test questions, he was very surprised.

The three questions this time are all arithmetic, and there is no such thing as a gift to fish in troubled waters!

Someone in the examination room immediately inhaled frequently, seemingly afraid of fainting.

But the test questions were set by the county officials and Confucianists, and no one could refute them.An old man with gray hair fainted as soon as he saw the test questions.

Li Jin can actually understand his feelings. He finally passed the first four tests. He thought he would pass the fifth game, but at this point, he tried arithmetic.

All the sweat of the previous so many years was in vain, and he himself is very old, and I don’t know if he can stick to the next test...

The mentality collapsed for a while and he fainted directly.

Yamen soon came down, pinched people, poured hot soup.The old man slowly woke up, but still gritted his teeth to end the exam.

Let me talk about whether I can pass the exam, but if I simply abandon the exam, I am afraid I will regret it for life.

After Li Jin copied the question, he drafted the calculation.He knew the process of arithmetic very well, but in ancient times, there were basically no formulas for answering arithmetic problems, and they were all described by language.

Li Jin confirmed that the answer was correct, and had to rethink the organization language before transcribing the answer sheet.

After all, mathematics is his strong point. Li Jin put aside his pen before he got hot soup at noon.

After the patrol test came to collect the papers, seeing that it was still early, he simply let him rest in the vacant room next to him.It is impossible to release people in advance. Except for those who abandon the exam, everyone else has to'release' together after the exam.

The county magistrate sits at the front of the case, and Yu Guang sweeps to Li Jin, admiring his temperament and appearance.

In addition, Li Jin handed in his papers in advance, and the examination papers in his hand were full and neat, and the county magistrate couldn't help but look at the young man a few more times.

Once again, until dark, Li Jin followed the crowd out.

Chen Xiran has never been short of food since he was a child, but at noon these few days he can only eat steamed buns in hot soup and cannot go to the toilet.In addition, Li Jin said directly that he would not go to the brothel, Chen Xiran also faded his thoughts of enjoyment at this moment, just thinking about going back to the inn and taking a hot bath to dispel the cold.

At the gate of the county office, Huang Yiling was excited.

"Thank you for the book A Jin and Brother Chen! The first question this time is completely a distortion of the content of the book. Although I did not calculate the third question, I think the test will not be too bad."

What he said was "not too bad", which probably meant that he could pass the county test.

Li Jin said, "Congratulations."

Huang Yiling took his answer to the first question again, and she was happier when she heard that Li Jin had the same result as him.

But for the second question, five of them got five answers...

In the end, Xu Zifan said: "Yi Ling, don't be so enthusiastic about the answer. You said before that you want to go to the brothel. It will be too late if you don't go."

Li Jin and Chen Xiran declined their invitation to go to the brothel together on the grounds that they were exhausted after the exam.

Several people parted at the gate of the county office, and made an appointment to drink at the wine shop tomorrow.

This time Li Jin agreed. After all, it was a collective activity, and he couldn't justify not participating at all.

Early in the morning of the next day, after Li Jin woke up, he could still hear Chen Xiran in Neijian flailing.

After washing, he went out to exercise. This time he didn't wear any cotton clothes, but only a short shot of coarse cloth.

It's always going to be running, too thick will make you sweat.

Li Jin usually wears a cotton-padded coat made of coarse cloth at home, but covers a long gown.

But during the exam, candidates are only allowed to wear a thin cotton coat, so Li Jin wears a cotton coat with a cotton outside and coarse cloth inside.

The county office without candidates was slightly deserted. Li Jin ran a circle around the inner city, and the whole person was hot.

When he ran back, he felt that he saw a big man with a slight impression.

The person seemed to notice Li Jin's gaze and turned his head to look over. Li Jin even caught a glimmer of appreciation from the opponent's eyes.

After all, the other party was still kind, and Li Jin also nodded at him, saying hello.

After returning to the inn, Li Jin couldn't remember when he saw this big man.

But he said that the man turned his feet and entered directly through the back door of the county government office.

The magistrate had already risen to correct the test papers, and he also corrected the examination papers with two masters.

The man named Wu Fang was an official of the county government. Some time ago, he was sent to investigate the fame of students in various townships and towns, and he also privately checked every student recommended by scholars.

In order to be afraid of being recognized, the county magistrate did not ask him to help with the examination.

Wu Fang was very optimistic about the student named Li Jin. That idyllic poem described the scenes of his parents working.

He still remembered that when he was a child, his parents said that he should help him more and work harder.

But I didn't expect that after getting stronger, he was recruited by the county government and became a government servant.

Therefore, Wu Fang still has a slight impression of Li Jin.

He didn't expect that he would be recognized by Li Jin, but the county test has already passed, and saying hello is not a violation.

Looking at the other party's bunting in coarse cloth, he clearly didn't shy away from his own farmer's origin, but because of the clear and bookish air, people dare not underestimate it.

Wu Fang even gave this person a higher opinion.

He has seen too many people forget their ancestors, and abandon their wretched wife with a little fame.

Thinking of this, Wu Fang told the master who was in charge of the matter, so the master added another sentence under his comment to Li Jin, "Being upright, not clinging to a rich family, and not shying away from a family background."

If Li Jin were here, he would find that there were only ten people in Master's record.

These ten people are all outstanding students from ten miles and eight townships.If their answer levels are similar, then the top of the case will naturally choose the one with the highest reputation.

And once the case leader of the county examination, the case leader of the next hospital examination is likely to fall on this person.

The prefects are also happy to circulate the tale of the'small three yuan' in the province under their jurisdiction.

This is also part of the political achievements.

And Li Jin himself, without even knowing it, was already the top candidate.
