After listening to Chen Xiran's words, Li Jin stared at the examination number on the top of the word '中'!

Sure enough, it was one hundred three twenty two.

Seeing Li Jin's reaction, Chen Xiran suddenly came back to his senses, and said with a smile, "Ah Jin, why don't you look at the case first?"

He first found out that Ah Jin was the case, and then he panicked to find his test number.

Li Jin was a little helpless, not because he didn't look at the case first, but because the test number on the case was directly above the word '中', and the character '中' was written differently from the normal way, the vertical line in the middle was longer and shorter than the bottom.

In fact, it is more like the upper half of the word "gui", implying that it is too expensive.

This also caused the test number at the head of the case to be one word ahead of the others. Li Jin only wanted to look for the ones starting with 'one', but he couldn't find many of them, let alone one hundred thirty two.

Li Jin shook his head, but did not explain his reason.

Fortunately, Chen Xiran didn't ask, otherwise this matter would really make people laugh for days.

Because of the special way of releasing the results of the county examination, there is only the candidate's test number, but no name and place of origin.The crowd of onlookers only knew that this was called the 'round list', but they didn't know if someone on their side had passed the exam.

Someone boldly asked: "Master, has anyone in our town been hit?"

The yamen servant who released the list laughed when he heard this, and said: "The case is here with you, of course someone has won it!"

"The head of the case?!" Someone exclaimed.

"My fellow, what is the top case? What is the number one? I only know the number one."

The person next to him kindly explained: "The desk is No.1 in this exam."

"Isn't that the No. 1 pick?" It's all No.[-], there's nothing wrong with it.

"...?"

This little episode passed quickly, but there had been no crimes in the town for more than ten years, and now one finally came out, and everyone who spread it in a short time knew about it.

"No.1 is the boy of our town!"

Huang Xiucai soon learned the news, he was slightly stunned, and prayed secretly in his heart, even if the case was not Xu Zifan, it would be good if it was another student of Xiucai!

But it must not be Li Jin!

Otherwise, there will be times when his face hurts.

There was a knock on the door soon, and Huang Xiucai sent someone to open the door. When he saw three of his students coming in together, the first thing he said was: "Who is the chief of the case?"

Xu Zifan originally had a smile on his face, but this time he did well in the exam, being No.4.

According to such a ranking, the chance of him being rejected in the subsequent government examination is not high. After all, the county magistrate also needs to save face.

In Xu Zifan's last exam, the county exam results were at the bottom, and he was directly rejected in the government exam. Now that he has accumulated a lot of money and got a good result of No. 4, he is naturally very happy.

But Huang Xiucai didn't ask the three of them if they failed the ranking, but directly asked the 'leader of the case'.

Huang Yiling was usually close to Huang Xiucai, and replied: "The examination number of the first case is [-], and there is no name marked."

Huang Xiucai added, "Not Li Jin?"

Huang Yiling bowed his head: "Students don't know."

After Huang Xiucai heard the words, he looked at the gradually fading smiles on the faces of the other two students, and then he came back to his senses.

He is not the kind of headstrong gentleman, otherwise he would not be able to teach a straightforward student like Huang Yiling.

It's just that although he and Song Xiucai are good friends, they also compete with each other.

When I was young, I compared who would be the first to pass the exam, and who could teach better students later...

Huang Xiucai felt that he was too obsessed with comparison.

He took a sip of tea, and then asked, "Did you pass the exam? How did Yuandao (Xu Zifan's name) rank?"

Xu Zifan answered politely: "Students are ranked fourth."

Zhou Qi said: "Student No. 30 Seven."

Huang Yiling was very guilty, he said: "Sir, I, failed."

In the past, Huang Xiucai must have been very concerned about his situation and asked him to discuss all his uncertainties with his classmates.

But this time, Huang Xiucai had a pimple in his heart, so he just said: "Yuan Dao and Zhou Qi should not slack off during this period, and prepare for the government examination in April. First-year-old, you should stop painting this year and spend more time in your free time. Arithmetic problem."

"Yes, sir."

Not long after that, the news spread that Li Jin was the case.

Huang Xiucai locked herself in the study for a whole day, without a charcoal basin, and was deserted and lonely.Family members and students are not allowed to enter.

Huang Yiling stood outside the door, turning around like an ant on a hot pot.

"This is how to do?"

The few of them knew in their hearts that Mr. Song and Xiucai had been secretly comparing each other. This time, Song Xiucai's student was better. Mr. Huang must feel uncomfortable.

But they didn't expect Huang Xiucai to be so obvious and lose his self-cultivation.

But as students, they couldn't directly point out Mr. Huang's mistakes, so they could only find ways to explain Mr. Huang.

Huang Xiucai didn't come out until Zishi, and his three students also stood in the courtyard at Zishi, enduring the cold wind and coordinating with their husband not to burn the charcoal basin.

After he came out, he looked at his three students and finally couldn't hold back his tears.

"Thank you for your hard work, hurry up and drink hot soup to warm up your body."

He said: "I figured it out. I am not as good as Song Xiucai this time. I admit defeat. But life always has its ups and downs. I personally screened the Mongolian boys this time. I don't believe I can't pick out good ones!"

Huang Yiling and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Mr. Huang did not get depressed because of this incident.

But they also felt a little disappointed. Mr. Huang never showed any real affection for them, and only wanted to use their achievements to add luster to his face.

Besides, on Li Jin's side, after learning that he was hit, he originally planned to tell Mr. Song first.

But the yamen servant who released the list over there replied to the people around him: "The first case comes from Hongyan Village. Our lord has already sent people to Hongyan Village to deliver the good news!"

Li Jin couldn't sit still anymore and said: "I have to go back first, Xi Ran, you go and sue Mr. Song for me."

Chen Xiran said: "What kind of accusation is this? If you don't go back first, you won't be able to meet those officials, then you will accuse me. I'm going to report the good news to Mr. Song!"

Li Jin came to town this time with a tael of silver, planning to exchange it for broken silver.

He thought before that if he was in high school, he would have to thank the official for a trip with broken silver.

If it fails, it is convenient to carry it after changing the broken silver.All in all, there are benefits.

Li Jin hurriedly went downstairs to buy a few packs of snacks, and instead of asking Xiaoer to give him copper coins for the rest of the money, he asked for broken silver.

Then he quickened his pace and walked towards the village.

Chen Xiran sent him to the entrance of the town and said, "Ah Jin, don't be in a hurry. The people sent by the county magistrate usually take half a day after the announcement. You still have time to go back now."

Li Jin nodded: "Well, if you see Brother Zhuzi, tell him I've been hit, and you have to go back first."

Chen Xiran said: "Don't worry, I will take care of you. When you are done with your work, the head of the case will treat you."

Li Jin immediately agreed: "Okay."

Li Jin started to run as he walked. Only his husband and children were left in his family. He was worried that the yamen servant would be so tall and mighty that he would frighten his two cubs.

As a result, when Li Jin went back, the servant who delivered the happy news hadn't arrived yet.

Instead, the village chief squatted in front of the door smoking a cigarette and asked with a smile, "Is there a ranking?"

Since the person hadn't arrived yet, Li Jin was no longer in a hurry, he said, "Yes, the chief of the desk."

With a bang, the village chief's cigarette dropped.

Li Jin stepped forward, picked it up for him, and said, "Uncle, I played well."

At this time, you can't be humble and say 'the question is too simple', or you will be slapping the county magistrate and the adults who teach Confucianism in the face.

Li Jin has been in ancient times for a long time, and he knows what to say and what not to say.

He was most impressed by the famous poet Liu Yong and Liu Tuntian in the Song Dynasty.

When the list of Jinshi was released that year, Song Renzong directly crossed out his name because of Liu Yong's poem expressing his dislike of being famous for fame - "Forbearance of floating names, and singing in a shallow way".

After that, some people recommended Liu Yong's talent to Renzong again, but Renzong only replied 'let's fill in the lyrics'.

Since then, Liu Yong had no ambitions in his life, so he abandoned himself and went to brothels, calling himself "Liu Sanbian who wrote lyrics according to the order".

The village head patted Li Jin's arm and wanted to say a lot of praise, but in the end he was too shocked and could only blurt out "Yes"!

Li Jin bid farewell to the village chief and said, "The official who brought the good news will come later, so I'll go back and clean up."

No, he ran back with sweat all over his face, he had to wipe it off.

Li Jin put down the pastry, cleaned his hands, and changed into a long robe.

Just about to share the joy of his high school case with Fu Lang, the village head brought Li Daniu over to give firecrackers, "I think your family may not have such a thing, and the official will come later, light it up and listen to the excitement."

Qin Muwen's eyes widened, his heart beat fast and anxiously, did his husband really hit him?

Will there be an official to deliver the good news in a while?

Li Jin held his hand, pinned his hair behind his ear, and said, "Naturally."

The village chief laughed and said, "Not only has he been hit, but he's also the top case!"

Li Daniu didn't know what the case meant, and the village head said, "It's No. 1 in this exam in our county."

Just as Li Daniu clapped his hands and applauded, the sound of horseshoes came from outside, accompanied by the sound of gongs.

The villagers came out of their homes one by one and stood in the yard watching.

"This is Hongyan Village?"

The village chief hurried out. Fortunately, Li Jin's house was not far from the entrance of the village, just two steps away.

"It's Hongyan Village, sir."

The man was riding on a tall horse with red silk on the horse's head, very festive.

"I have been ordered by the county magistrate to send the good news to Li Jin, the case chief."

The village chief asked Li Daniu to lead the way without the official's orders.

Afterwards, Li Jin set off firecrackers in front of the door and invited the official to come in for tea and snacks.

Those people were also willing to rub off on the happiness of the head of the desk, saying: "I wish you three yuan in the middle and small."

"Thank you, sir."

Immediately, Li Jin handed over the broken silver, and the man took it in his hand, squeezed it, and found that it was actually silver, not copper, and the smile on his face became more real.

"The good news has been delivered, so I won't continue to complain, let's not live it for now."

"Officer, go slowly."

It stands to reason that for an exam like the county exam, there is no need to send someone to deliver the good news. Only when you win a scholar will someone notify you one by one.

But if the county magistrate is optimistic about the case leader, he will send someone to let him know.

On the one hand, it shows the attitude of the county magistrate; on the other hand, it can be regarded as a urge to the chief of the case. Before that, the yamen servant said, "I hope he can connect with small and medium-sized three yuan."

As soon as the yamen servants left, the villagers gathered around, looking at the 'good news' in Li Jin's red satin fabric with envy and wishes in their eyes.

At the same time, when Mr. Song learned that Li Jin was actually the case in high school, he almost lost his grip on the teacup in his hand.

After Chen Xiran left, he said to his wife: "It seems that Li Jin's family has a child, who is only seven years younger than our Dalang, why don't we decide on a child?"
