There's a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea

Chapter 746

64th dragon scale (4)

Three days later, Linglong was undoubtedly at the top of the list, but he was not proud, because having passed the county test was nothing at all, not even a child! Only after attending and passing the hospital examination in April can they be regarded as "child students" and be qualified to participate in the township examination. After passing the rural examination, you will be a "Scholar". If you are a scholar, you have to take the examination three times. Among them, the shuxiu given to your husband is a sum of money, not to mention other expenses. The most important thing is that you have spent your hard work and may not be able to pass the examination. Therefore, it takes a lot of time and money to support a scholar.

Afraid of Linglong's pride, Mr. Mei specially pulled him to his side. First, he praised him for his good result of winning the first place this time, and then earnestly taught him that the county examination is only for the scholars in Tongping County, and the government examination is higher. At that time, he will gather the readers in all counties under the administration of the government. The employment conditions will become difficult, and there will be many fewer people who can pass the examination. He should guard against arrogance and impatience, Study hard and continue to study hard.

Linglong said she was obedient.

He is quite good at pretending to be good, even if he doesn't think so in his heart, he will be good. The main reason is that Mr. Mei really loves him. Linglong has always been good to those who love him.

Old man Liu and shopkeeper Fang didn't understand this. They thought that the little guy got the first place in the exam was very good. Old man Liu was still excited with tears in his eyes. Think about how difficult it was at home! I can't give birth to a son and I can't eat enough. At present, the days are getting better and better. I don't say that my son is reading and promising. It's really smoke from his ancestral grave!

He discussed with Wang that he would return to Daliushu village in two days to give incense to his ancestors. Wang shook his head and said no. he saw that Liubao was going to take the government examination in April and the country examination in August. After the examination this year, he was afraid that he would be too excited to show off with the villagers at that time, which would put pressure on his son.

Old man Liu was told to be honest by his mother-in-law. Since then, he didn't dare to speak loudly until the government test began. He was afraid to disturb his son's reading. Even the shopkeeper was held down by him. The old brothers made a pot of wine, fried a plate of peanuts, made a roast chicken, and drank happily in private. Quan should give them six treasures to celebrate.

Linglong:?

It's agreed to celebrate for me. Why didn't I eat a roast chicken?!

Mr. Mei attaches great importance to Linglong. As a disciple, he is born with the material for reading. He never forgets ten lines at a glance and can learn from one instance. No matter how much Mr. Mei teaches and how fast he teaches, Linglong can quickly absorb them.

Therefore, Mr. Mei is not worried about the government test.

Same as below, Linglong, who was accompanied by Mr. Mei and his cabinet, left Ping Ping county to go to Qingxiang mansion in April. The government will try to hold the examination in Qingxiang Township, and is headed by the master of the prefecture. The examinees' registered residence is particularly rigorous, and the search is more elaborate, which is obviously several times more careful than the county trial. However, no one took notes, and they basically went in honestly.

Linglong topped the list when they came to the government examination. The candidates who came to the examination were very unfamiliar with the name. They came from all counties and were basically classmates. They knew the level of their classmates very well, but they had never heard of the name Liu Linglong. How could it be like a girl's home.

When shopkeeper Fang came to see the list, he found that his baby son was the first in the exam again. He immediately laughed and picked up Linglong and put it on his neck like he was a child!

Linglong, who is already ten years old, is not embarrassed at all. On the contrary, she feels that this vision is particularly good, and the air above is fresher than that below.

All the examinees were surprised to see that it was a ten-year-old doll. They asked him who he studied. Linglong said proudly, "my husband's surname is Mei. He is a scholar in Tongping County!"

All the candidates immediately knew that they had heard of Mr. Mei's name and were brilliant. Unfortunately, they were not from Tongping County, otherwise they would go to Mr. Mei's door.

Until June, Linglong still took the exam in the government office, and Linglong still won the first place, officially becoming a scholar master! In this way, it is the first of three consecutive cases of county test, government test and hospital test. This time, everyone knows that the "little Sanyuan" who shocked the village is a child prodigy of only ten years old! The private schools with Mr. Mei are crowded with students from other counties, who study with Mr. Mei. Old man Liu was so excited that he went back to Daliushu village to bury his ancestors. Finally, a scholar came out of their family!

If Mr. Mei had to teach until August, he could not accompany him. It was shopkeeper Fang and old man Liu who accompanied him and sent Linglong to Chongzhou yamen, which is subordinate to Qingxiang government. The township examination was held here. This time, Linglong saw someone carrying a note before entering the examination room and was caught by the Yamen on the spot. Not only can she no longer test people, but also she has to go to prison!

Someone around him regretted and said, "you Xiucai is my hometown. We are from the same government. The township examination is held every three years. He has taken the examination for the fourth time this year. His father and mother have provided him with study. It is useless even for the coffin. No wonder his sword is on the wrong side, which makes him so confused."

It can be seen that everything is inferior, but reading is higher.

Even if you tell people that you are literate and have read for a few days, others will look at you differently. They all say that poor children come from noble children, but just like modern human society, middle-class children are always better educated than ordinary rural children. Although there are a few poor children, many people still struggle to get out of the exam, Wealth, honor, fame and wealth are all in this cold window of ten years.

There was also a sigh nearby. Most of the candidates were poor. Seeing you Shusheng like this, they felt a sense of rabbit death and fox sorrow.

Mingling in the crowd, Linglong, who is not tall, doesn't think so.

It's not that people can't live without taking the exam. They all say that the college entrance examination is a single wooden bridge. In fact, the ancient scientific examination is almost the same. You Xiucai hasn't even taken the exam for seven years. It can be seen that he has already reached the limit after taking the exam. But he took the exam for so many years, which dragged down his parents and couldn't recognize his strength. He gave up early and didn't take the exam. He also learned from others to set up a school. If he couldn't help it, he wouldn't let his parents' coffins be used on him.

You deserve to be caught cheating.

However, he is just a small bean, not old, and others will not take the initiative to talk to him.

He was a good-looking man, with a look of pink carving and jade carving. Even the bodyguards whispered to him. In Qingxiang mansion, the name of Linglong xiaosanyuan was very loud, but it was not so eye-catching in Chongzhou government office, because although xiaosanyuan was rare, it was not absent.

Originally, Mr. Mei didn't want Linglong to end up this year. After the hospital examination, Mr. Mei wanted to pressure him for three years. Because this year's rural examination is just his turn, it's OK to wait for another three years. Linglong 13 is not afraid to wait. He's young and afraid of being arrogant and complacent.

But Linglong himself wanted to take the test. He promised Mr. Mei that he would not be arrogant whether he did well or not.

Mr. Mei knows that he is a student. If he doesn't take the exam, he will make trouble. Children are like this. If they don't hit the south wall and don't look back, they let Linglong take the exam. Before Linglong left, he repeatedly told him to be relieved and not be dazzled by the honor fans in front.

Linglong listened attentively. Hey, can he be dazzled by such a small honor? In the past, scientific research was called "national treasure scientist" and "the brightest pearl of this century". He was not proud! However, Mr. is really good for himself, which is exquisite and clear, so he plans to go home and stay comfortably for a few years after taking the first place in the rural examination, and then continue to take the examination.

Mr. Mei himself was born in the family, but he didn't take the test again because he failed to pass the test many times. He taught a ten-year-old little Sanyuan and became famous in Qingxiang government. Many people sent their children to his private school. However, Mr. Mei has only one student who taught Linglong. His requirements have become higher. He only depends on his talent rather than his origin, otherwise his private school will have to be crowded!

After the exam began, Linglong heard another movement. He had great ears. He heard the scholar's cry and cry. He knew that the man somehow escaped the search and brought the note in. As a result, he was caught by the patrol and dragged out of the examination paper on the spot.

All feel that they will not be caught cheating. Is it worth to ruin their future for such a little fluke? You should know that those who come to take the provincial examination have scholar fame, but once they are caught cheating, they are not allowed to go to jail after the scientific examination. This scholar fame will also be smoothed down!

The examiner in charge of this point has made it clear again and again before the examination, but there are those who don't believe in evil who want to challenge, and regret and beg for mercy when they are exposed.

The scholar cried miserably. Linglong obviously noticed some fluctuations in the emotions of several candidates around him - he was very sensitive to the aura and emotions of others, but it was none of his business. Anyway, they were divided. No one could see anyone. He didn't care.

There are three rural examinations, each for three days. In other words, Linglong has to stay in the examination room for three days and can't leave until the end of the first one.

When the second scene starts, the candidates' seats will be rearranged, so it is difficult to do anything. Linglong is fine. His godfather is a chef and everything is delicious. However, he can't put some food in the exam for three days. With the encouragement and Inspiration of his baby son, the shopkeeper came up with something like "simply noodles". Unfortunately, the bodysearch attendant was too careful and crushed all his dough... How decompression! Linglong thought that the attendant searched so many people, At first glance, his spirit was not good. As a result, his flat face was crushed and obviously improved.

Each candidate is assigned a room number. The room number is narrow and only two boards are used as tables and chairs. When sleeping at night, these two boards will become a bed. Regardless of the wind and rain, you have to stay in it for three days, which makes Linglong unbearable and can't hand in the paper in advance!

Mr. Mei doesn't want him to come. In addition to various factors, the most important thing is that Linglong is young and not very long. In such nine days, people with poor health will get seriously ill after the exam!

If it's unlucky, no one knows about it.

In addition, the room also prepared a charcoal basin and a candle for the examinee. Whether to cook or warm depends on the examinee himself. The charcoal basin is absolutely unique. I don't know where to get the black heart charcoal. It burns like wolf smoke, which kills individuals. The taste is particularly choking, and the candle is also of poor quality.

Linglong suddenly began to miss his life as a female emperor. At that time, he greatly improved the conditions of the examination room and guaranteed that people studying were healthy and safe. You see, nowadays, it's not even as good as his heel skin.

But it's really not a thing today.

Although Mr. Mei failed in the exam, he was also discouraged for some reasons and did not want to take the exam again. Today, he was narrow-minded and suspicious. The throne was robbed from his brother. Other emperors will have a good reputation after they ascended the throne. If you don't mention adding officials to the ranks of the children of the former Emperor, at least you can keep them. Today, no, they are all cut off by others!

It may also be retribution. There are countless concubines in the back Palace today. So far, there are no children and half daughters.

He not only killed his brothers and nephews, but also the ministers. He suspected that any minister who was loyal to the former Emperor would try every means to kill people. He didn't do much to copy the family and destroy the family. However, he loved face and didn't allow anyone to say it. He was very strict with the people.

Otherwise, the people would not be so poor.

The people are not only poor, but also tolerant. Although the taxes are higher and higher year by year, and the days are more and more difficult, the emperor did not take human life lightly and did not oppress them to the extreme, so they can continue to tolerate.

Fortunately, although the emperor was suspicious and cruel, many adults who were officials in the court were sincere for the country and the people. With their support, the country could barely maintain peace.

People with long-term vision know that this is just the calm ahead of the building.

The contents of the three rural examinations were different, but everything changed. Linglong adapted well. The only thing he couldn't stand was the examinee in the room next to him. Maybe he ate too many radishes and always farted!

Finally, after the first exam, Linglong rushed out of the exam room and plunged into his father's arms.

Old man Liu pinched his son up and down again. He was neither thin nor hurt. He was haggard for a few minutes. He couldn't help feeling distressed: "we should listen to Mr. Mei. We can take the exam in three years! Is the topic too difficult to write? It doesn't matter. Let's focus on participation! "

Shopkeeper Fang knows his son too well. It's not because of the test question that he can make the lively little guy wilt like this“ Are you hungry? Thirsty? Tired? Godfather has ordered a banquet for you. Let's take a bath and change our clothes! "

Poor God, his clean and beautiful dry son has a strange smell

Linglong said angrily, "it's the man next to me! What on earth did he eat? He can fart for three days! "

He looked back fiercely. Unfortunately, too many candidates came out, and he didn't know who was sitting next to him.

Shopkeeper Fang resisted the impulse to laugh and coaxed Linglong not to be angry. When he arrived at the restaurant, he and old man Liu kept cooking for Linglong. Linglong got delicious food after taking a bath and changing clean clothes, and his mood was much better.

After going back to the inn, I slept for a day and went to the examination room the next day.

After three consecutive exams, Linglong was completely depressed.

It's not the test torture, it's his front and rear examinees.

Eating, drinking and Lasa are all inside, as well as the smoke from charcoal pots and inferior candles... Imagine what these flavors are like! Linglong ate all his meals at the first meal, and then lasted three days. He would never allow himself to eat with this disgusting taste!

When he ascends to the top and becomes Hou Baixiang, he must immediately improve the environment of the imperial examination room! The imminent kind!

The examinees in charge of the examination were all officials appointed by the Emperor himself. Therefore, there was a large amount of marking, and the time was also long and very meticulous. When the list was released, osmanthus bloomed all over the prefecture, and the fragrance of the whole Prefecture was floating for ten miles. The examinees who took part in the examination did not care about the beauty and elegance of the fragrance of osmanthus. There were a large number of people at the gate of the prefecture, waiting for the list.

"Come out, come out!"

"Let it go!"

The gate of the state yamen was opened and several bad masters came out. The middle two held the red list, and the rest were responsible for blocking the crowd.

Some people are happy, some are sad, some laugh, some wail, and all kinds of things in the world are incisively and vividly released on this day.

Old man Liu and shopkeeper Fang wanted to squeeze, but Linglong grabbed them and told them not to worry. Why don't they just go and see when they leave?

For the first time, the shopkeeper of the house, who had always hurt him like an eye, knocked on his head. Then he suddenly thought that his son's head was to read, and hurriedly hugged him in his arms to blow air. He was afraid to beat the clever head melon seeds stupid. He said, "what nonsense! Must see! You wait here. I'll go down with your father. Don't run! "

Shopkeeper Fang is smart. Mr. Mei also has experience in the rural examination. They came early. The inn where they live is very close to the state Yamen. Today, they came and waited early. Because they haven't released the list, they first ordered a pot of tea in the nearby teahouse, eating cakes and drinking tea.

The second floor has a good view. When the poor master came out, the shopkeeper and old man Liu became excited. After they rushed out, Linglong blinked and followed them. Unless the examiner knows who he is and has a deep hatred with him, he is the first one in the case.

Old man Liu has been doing farm work all year round, and the shopkeeper of the room has a big spoon all year round. Where can these scholars squeeze them? The old brothers pushed the crowd to the front when they passed the five levels. Shopkeeper Fang was cautious. Looking from bottom to top, old man Liu trusted his six treasures fans. Looking from top to bottom, he didn't know many words, but he knew his six treasures' name. Before shopkeeper Fang finished reading a few, old man Liu shouted excitedly: "yes! My family has won the six treasures! "

"What, what!" The shopkeeper followed excitedly, "where!"

"Six treasures are the first!"

Old man Liu shouted. As soon as the scholars on the side heard it, they all paid attention. The poor master guarding the red list also heard it and smiled: "it was master Jieyuan's father. Congratulations!"

Old man Liu only cares about music, while shopkeeper Fang takes out some red envelopes from his pocket and distributes them to the poor men. This is happy money. They can accept it. When the poor men accept it, they all smile and boast about the Linglong they haven't seen and don't know. However, the old brothers can't stop nodding.

Linglong came out of the teahouse, put her hands behind her, and calmly looked at the crowded crowd in front. His father and Godfather came out. Well, his father lost a shoe, his godfather's hair became a bird's nest, and they laughed with big teeth. Obviously, they didn't expect Linglong to be the first in the exam.

Linglong took the small three yuan test in front of him, but Mr. Mei wanted to pressure him, but he wanted to continue the test. Mr. Mei privately told the shopkeeper of old man Liu that, anyway, relax and don't ask too much for children. It's good to get in the test, but it doesn't matter if you don't get in the test. The doll is still small!

Old man Liu thought so deeply that he sent his son to take the exam. Some of the candidates in that group looked older than him! There are many people who have failed to pass the exam for most of their life. His son is a child prodigy, but he is not omnipotent. You know, Mr. Mei said that there are people outside the mountain!

This time Linglong got the first place in the exam. Old man Liu was really happy and incoherent. Even the steady shopkeeper didn't take care of his bird's nest head. He hugged Linglong and kissed him on his baby's fat face!

In fact, when Linglong grows up, his family won't pinch him and kiss him. After all, he is a little man and will be indomitable in the future. How bad is such intimacy?

But I'm really happy today!

After discussion, the two decided that old man Liu would go back to report the good news, and shopkeeper Fang would stay with Linglong, because the winner would attend the Luming banquet personally held by the examiner.

When the three talked together, the people nearby gradually realized that the young little Douding was Liu Linglong, the top of the provincial examination, and someone exclaimed, "Liu Jieyuan is so small!"

These words attracted many people's attention. They all turned their heads together. They only saw the tall and big room shopkeeper and the black, thin and refined old man Liu... Neither of them looked like Jieyuan, and their eyes moved down... They were stunned and numb.

Linglong calmly bowed to them: "Hello, everyone."

It's too small!

Not to mention how people enjoyed talking about this Jieyuan, Linglong was only ten years old. Anyway, Linglong went back to the Inn and slept in the dark. The shopkeeper knew that Liubao was tired, so he asked the inn to borrow the kitchen and made Linglong his favorite dish in person. He also took Linglong to a ready-made clothes shop. He had to dress decently for the dinner in three days.

He was born well and exquisite. Wearing a fitting robe, he is more like the little childe of Xun GUI's family. Shopkeeper Fang loves him more and more. He thinks he has a good eye! Recognize such a promising and painful child as a dry son!

Three days later, he sent Linglong to the state yamen for a banquet. The registered yamen asked the accompanying shopkeeper who was Jieyuan. Before Linglong could answer, the shopkeeper took the lead: "he is the servant who serves the young master."

Linglong was stunned and immediately understood what shopkeeper Fang meant.

In the past, when he was a poor little man in Daliushu village, the shopkeeper was a rich restaurant shopkeeper. He took advantage of him by recognizing him as a dry son. But now he is a scholar. Scholars hate the smell of copper most. It is hard to avoid being despised if they are with businessmen. Businessmen are at the bottom of the top nine and can't compare with scholars. Godfather, I'm afraid that others will be ashamed to know that he recognized a shopkeeper as a godfather!

He replied, "this is my father! Because I'm young, I'm sent here. Please rest assured. "

Then he stuffed a red seal in the past.

Since the Liu family moved to the town, it was basically Mr. Mei who taught him to recite poetry and Fu, and shopkeeper Fang who taught others how to communicate. Today, shopkeeper Fang also prepared some red envelopes for him. When he learned that he was promoted, the innkeeper came to him personally to congratulate him. How can he do without red envelopes around?

Shopkeeper Fang feels warm. He has lived for most of his life. There is sand in his eyes.
