Chen Xi took the imperial examination at the age of ten. This is the biggest wonder of the Tingzhou Prefecture Imperial Examination this year. It is easy for candidates to talk about it when they gather on weekdays.

Others may not know who the head of the Tingzhou Prefecture counties was in this year, but when it comes to Shen Xi’s name, everyone knows it. Chen Xi also did something extraordinary. The first exam of the palace examination, only he appeared for the first time, which made a joke for the candidates.

Naturally, others would not think that Chen Xi was very talented and could answer the questions in advance, but instead thought that he didn't know what he had left and passed the county examination. When he arrived at the government examination, he could tell that he really had no real talent and knowledge, so he left the examination room in shame as soon as he was discharged.

Chen Xi was ridiculed and was not ashamed to be annoyed. He had long been used to being underestimated by others. Su Tong smiled and comforted: "Don't mind Brother Shen. The few people over there have been seven or eight exams and failed the palace exams, and their mentality is very dark."

Chen Xi asked with a smile: "Why did Mr. Su think he could pass this house trial?"

Su Tong was stunned by the question. He thought about it and said seriously: "If Brother Shen really passes this mansion test, I will only feel relieved for Brother Shen."

Chen Xi didn't know how sincere he was, so he couldn't let him think about it carefully at this time, because someone was coming over there to "respect tea" for Chen Xi.

"Little top scorer, in the future, you will be in the high school of Jinbang. Don't forget about us. We are all candidates of the same class. We should take more care of you after becoming an official, right?"

Chen Xi saw it. It was said that it was here to worship tea, but in fact it was here to enjoy him.

This person may be as Su Tong said, because he failed to get a few trials, and his mind was already slandered, as if he could suppress others and raise himself up.

Someone came to offer tea, and Chen Xi would have to "express" anyway. He actually took the tea handed over by the other party and drank it down.

“Good tea.”

Chen Xi wiped his mouth, "I have remembered the words of this young master, but I don't know the name of Gao, the young master?"

The man didn't expect that Chen Xi would drink the tea he was so shameless. He was stunned for a moment and sneered: "I am not convenient to tell you the name below, and you will always have the chance to know it in the future."

This is quite a bold saying. If you don’t tell you the name now, you will definitely know that I am famous all over the world in the future. Chen Xi nodded and said, “I don’t know if I can wait for that day.”

The man came over toast a cup of tea, how polite he was, and he said to you as if he really wanted to help each other in the future. But a discerning person would know that he had bad intentions, and he was deliberately watching Chen Xi's joke.

Others were waiting to see Chen Xi’s embarrassing appearance, but who knew that Chen Xi’s counterattack seemed extremely clever.

You speak boldly and want to make a name for the world. I will reply that you don’t know if you can wait for that day.

Tattoo, but no traces are revealed.

"You!" The man's face changed first.

Chen Xi looked confused, as if what he said was unintentional.

The right judgment is right!

"Hahaha" laughed again, but this time it was not Chen Xi who laughed at, but the unlucky guy who came over to worship tea.

The man sneered, "Let's see."

After saying that, he left, and the shop clerk looked around and quickly followed: "Customer, you haven't checked out yet."

There are more people who are laughing like this.

He sent someone away, Chen Xi sat down, and someone came to salute him: "Young Master Chen, I hope you and I will pass by. The name of you and me will be left on the long desk."

This man spoke with the childishness and arrogance of a boy. Chen Xi turned his head and looked at him, but he was Wu Shengyu, a 14-year-old boy he had seen before.

If the man just came to mock him, Wu Shengyu came here to be a gift, so Chen Xi did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly got up and returned the gift, watching Wu Shengyu go out under the guidance of his servant.

"What a big show. I have to take a slave to see a case. Is this going to show that the Wu family is different?" Someone at the deskmate said with disdain.

Chen Xi asked, "Who is this person?"

The man at the same table asked in surprise: "Don't you know? His grandfather was the governor of Tingzhou and is now the governor of Shanxi. He thought he was so glorious, but he was just a concubine."

Chen Xi heard that this man's grandfather had been the prefect of Tingzhou and his surname was Wu. After thinking about it carefully, he would know who he was talking about. Chen Xi had read the Changting County Chronicles in his previous life and knew that this man was Wu Wendu, who had disagreed with Liu Jin in the early years of Zhengde and resigned because of Liu Jin's bribe.

Wu Wendu was a Jinshi during the Chenghua period and from Quanzhou, Fujian. He moved to Jiangning with his father. Chenxi thought that it should be when Wu Wendu was an official in the local area. His family moved with him. Wu Wendu was the prefect of Tingzhou, which is not far from his hometown Quanzhou, and someone took root in Tingzhou.

"Even if you are born in a vassal, they are still officials and are not like us." Chen Xi said with a smile.

Su Tong sighed slightly and said, "The Wu family has many descendants. He is a illegitimate son. I am afraid he will not be able to get the cuteness of Mr. Wu. Otherwise, he would not have to take the imperial examination and go directly to the Imperial College."

Originally, they were talking about Chen Xi, but because Wu Shengyu came forward, the topic turned to Wu Shengyu.

As firecrackers sounded outside, the teahouse suddenly became noisy, which indicated that the incident had begun to occur in the government office.

Shen Yongzhuo stood up and wanted to go out to see the case. Su Tong smiled and reminded: "Young Master Chen, there are too many people in front of the prefect's office. I'd better wait for the people to scatter before going over. Whatever you should do? If you want to participate in the recruitment tomorrow, it's always good to come out today to relax. Why should you rush back to study?"

As he said that, he looked at Chen Xi, "It's still Brother Shen who is calm and at ease."

Chen Xi grinned and said, "I know I failed the exam, so I'm not in a hurry."

The deskmate couldn't help but burst into laughter. Even if some people think that their chances of passing the exam were very slim, they still had some expectations in their hearts. This is human nature. I don't care at all when I was present. In addition to Su Tong, there is Chen Xi.

Even Su Tong was thinking in his heart: "But I don't know why he is not in a hurry, could it be him?"

After waiting for half an hour, the people in the teahouse gradually finished their journey. Those who could not sit still couldn't help but join the crowded army of viewing the list one after another.

Su Tong sighed: "This is not a long case, there is not even a name. Those who fail to win will not give up. They must look at the case paper three or seven times. But at noon, we may not be able to squeeze in."

As Su Tong said, more than an hour after the first time, no one at the government office had decreased. More than a thousand candidates, surrounded by two or three pieces of paper, found their own seat numbers, but they were really unwilling to give up. Even if they looked at them five or six times and walked away a few steps in disheartenedly, they would have to go back and look at them two or three times to make sure that their seat numbers were not on them.

By noon, Shen Yongzhuo couldn't help himself. He said to Chen Xi: "Seventh brother, can you wait for me, so brother come and take a look first. My mother's side."

Chen Xi nodded to express his understanding. Shen Yongzhuo had an impatient mother like Wang, so it was difficult for him to calm down. Chen Xi said: "If your brother is anxious, go and see it first. I'm fine."

Shen Yongzhuo hurried out to go to the government office, and as soon as he left the house, he joined the crowded crowd.

Shortly after Shen Yongzhuo left, the people at the deskmate saw that there were fewer scholars outside who had posted the list, and they all left one after another, with only Su Tong sitting with Chen Xi.

"Brother Shen, how difficult do you think the two test questions are this time?" Originally, there were no chats, but when the people at the deskmate were exposed, Su Tong suddenly asked Chen Xi seriously.

Chen Xi thought for a while and naturally replied: "It's quite difficult. Although it is the Four Books, it is all the titles of the Book of Songs. Although my sutra is not determined, I can learn more from my teachers and teachers."

"Oh?" Su Tong frowned slightly, "The second title of Brother Shen, I learned this and practiced it from time to time. There are no gentlemen, so I don't know what to do?"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Young Master Su is going to take the exam for me?"

Su Tong waved his hand: "I dare not, I just want to discuss the second one, but said that this sutra that I am here is exactly the Book of Songs. It is also considered a correspondence. When I see the candidates who are taking the exam together, I can't help but want to ask for advice."

Chen Xi looked at Su Tong's appearance and felt that Su Tong would not ask questions for no reason.

As Chen Xi knew, Su Tong was a child of an official. He himself was a popular candidate for the head of the mansion's case. Hui Niang also mentioned that Su Tong had relatives working in the prefect's office.

Chen Xi thought to himself, could Su Tong have received any rumors before the incident?

As for the examination and examination, I want to rely on the prefect to review more than a thousand answers and read more than two thousand articles in two days. Not to mention the advantages and disadvantages, whether I can finish reading them is a question.

Therefore, the review of the papers is usually the staff of the government office, the subordinates, and the teachers of the government school, the guidance and the instructors. After screening, the answers to the question are eliminated first, and then the excellent test papers are selected to be sent to the prefect. If the prefect is responsible, or will finish reading this part of the test papers, but if it is irresponsible, the following staff may choose which one is better.

Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "I don't answer well, so I won't show my ugly face in front of Mr. Su."

Chen Xi originally wanted to wait for Shen Yongzhuo to come back and see the results, but Shen Yongzhuo seemed to think that even if he came back, Chen Xi would leave, so even if most of the people in front of the government office had dispersed, there was no sign of Shen Yongzhuo.

Su Tong stood up and said, "Brother Shen, come up and see?"

"good."

Chen Xi and Su Tong set up a teahouse. It had been almost half an hour after the incident. Chen Xi himself did not expect to sit down with Su Tong and say three hours.

As fewer people become, it is easier to walk. Chen Xi and Su Tongyi will soon be the case before the case is reported.

"Ah! It seems that there are very few people who are taking it." Chen Xi suddenly said.

Originally, Chen Xi estimated that this government examination should have admitted about 100 people, and the total number of the main and deputy cases should be more than 200. However, there are only two cases in total, and there are only two cases, with two circles of people on it, which is less than the number of places listed in Ninghua County’s trial case.

Su Tong seemed to have known it a long time ago: "I heard that there are very few people who have tried the house this year."

Chen Xi nodded and then went to search carefully. Soon, he found the "Ding Yiwu" among the twenty seat numbers circled in the middle of the bill, which was his seat number, which means that he was like the county trial, and it was just passing the scene.

Chen Xi said in surprise: "Young Master Su, I have found my own."

"Congratulations, Brother Shen, it seems that in the college entrance examination next year, you and I will take the same exam again. Is it possible that I will be among the students on the list?" Su Tong said with a smile.

Chen Xi didn't deliberately say whether he saw his seat number in the inner circle of the case or the outer circle, but Su Tong was very sure that he had passed the mansion test, which means that Su Tong learned the news in advance.

The rank of the official test alone cannot distinguish who is who, but Su Tong can clearly know it, which shows that Su Tong is indeed "universal in supernatural powers".
