The    county exam is generally the basics of the exam. Although the scope of the exam is wide, the questions are not deep, and the selection of candidates is also relaxed.

  Gu Jingyun has been practicing calligraphy since he was five years old when he was able to hold a pen. In the past eight years, a willow style has begun to take shape, and the font is strong and clean, which shows the strength of his brushwork.

  Li Baolu, like him, learns the willow style, but the characters he writes are much more plump and plump. This is how the characters are.

  Li Baolu is strong in force, but soft in heart, so she is more tender and less sharp when writing brushes.

   No matter how weak Gu Jingyun's body is, his heart is much stronger. Qin Xinfang often criticizes him for being too revealing. If he wants to hide his edge, it is best to learn from Li Baolu.

   At this time, he paused when he picked up the pen, and then started to write, and then stopped without pause.

Everyone else chooses a topic they are familiar with first, and then goes back to write if they are unfamiliar, but no matter how familiar they are, they should think for a while before writing, but Gu Jingyun just glanced at the topic and started to write, one after another borrowed questions. , no need to stop thinking.

  So he was very fast, he finished all the questions in less than two hours, checked again for typos, and after seeing that there were no mistakes, he packed up and turned in the book—he was already hungry.

  Li Baolu and Zhang Yiyan were waiting for him outside with their chins supported, and when they saw him coming out, they jumped up to meet him, "How is it, is the problem difficult?"

   "It's not difficult," Gu Jingyun handed the test basket to Zhang Yiyan, and said, "The questions are very simple and the first name should be fine. I'm hungry, should I eat at home or eat out?"

   Zhang Yiyan just wanted to say that he would eat in Wanfu Building, but Li Baolu, who had been paying attention to Gu Jingyun's expression, said, "Let's go home and eat, I made white porridge in the morning, and I'll just go back and make a side dish."

So simple?

   I passed the exam successfully, shouldn't I celebrate?

   It was just that the young couple had already walked back intimately, so Zhang Yiyan had to keep up.

  Li Baolu fished out the pickled vegetables and cooked a small dish for Gu Jingyun. Gu Jingyun ate two bowls of white porridge with the pickled vegetables, and then put down the bowl contentedly and said, "Go out for a walk, or I will fall asleep."

  Li Baolu took a look at the funnel. It was his usual nap time, but he couldn't sleep when he was full, so he took his hand and went out for a walk together.

   Zhang Yiyan, who has yet to marry in nearly 20 years, wiped his face and decided not to see them show their affection, and turned to go out to see the teahouse that Gu Jingyun had just opened.

   It was used by Gu Jingyun in Qiongzhou Mansion to pass news to him. He hired a shopkeeper and two guys to take care of it, but he left it under his control.

   No one knows his identity as a criminal. If there is no accident, in the future his caravan will be bright, and this teahouse will be dark.

The results will be released after noon the next day. There are four county exams in total, one every other day. Only those who have passed the previous one can participate in the next one. The seats and entry order of the next one depend on the previous one. Field results to be determined.

  Li Baolu relied on her flexibility. As soon as the list was posted, she was in front of her with a flick of her feet. The yamen posted the list and Li Baolu saw Gu Jingyun, who was at the top of the list.

  Li Baolu couldn't help grinning, smiled happily, squeezed out the crowd and ran home to inform Gu Jingyun, "You got the first name!"

  Gu Jingyun couldn't help turning the corners of his mouth up, but he said proudly, "Isn't this expected?"

   "I'm happy even as expected."

  Qin Xinfang said that Gu Jingyun could take the township exam, so difficult exams like the Tongsheng exam and the Xiucai exam were nothing to him, not to mention that the county exam mainly tested the breadth of reading and memory.

  Gu Jingyun didn't dare to say anything else, but he has read more and more books than ordinary people can compare, not to mention he never forgets it.

   Therefore, the two thought that he could keep the first place until the last test, but after the last test, Li Baolu was dumbfounded when the final result came out.

  Gu Jingyun actually dropped from the first place in a row to the third place.

  Gu Jingyun also saw the rankings, but he only raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the two names in front of him, and knew it.

  Although it was unexpected, it was reasonable. How could Tan Qian's greed not intervene in the county examination?

  Fortunately, he was also on the list, and his ranking was not low, otherwise he would have been vomited to death.

   The sharp-minded candidates also thought of the key points and looked at Gu Jingyun who was standing in front of the list.

   They had never heard of this person before, but in the past few days Gu Jingyun's name has been heard throughout the entire cultural circle of Qiongzhou Prefecture.

   Who else does not know him now?

Since he took the top spot in the first exam, he has won three consecutive top spots, but the last exam is the least important poem, and his total score dropped from first to third. .

   Anyone who knows anything about the world knows that there is something tricky in it, not to mention Tan Qian's reputation is really bad.

   Everyone is waiting for Gu Jingyun's reaction, thirteen or fourteen year olds are the most impulsive...

  Gu Jingyun just smiled, then gave everyone a polite salute, turned around and left with an angry Li Baolu.

Li Baolu always thought that her child would be the first, but she was occupied by others, she said angrily: "Tan Qian is too courageous, at least he hides one or two, you won the first title in three games, However, the overall score was immediately moved to the third place. Those two people who came up, they were out of the top ten in the first three games. Even if the poems they made were fairy poems that only poets could make, the total score was not good. Maybe number one or two?"

Gu Jingyun reassured her and said, "This is already a good deal. Anyway, I still managed to keep the third place, right? Fortunately, both the government test and the hospital test are held in Guangzhou, so he can't get involved." In conclusion, we don’t have to worry about it anymore, it’s more important to pack up and rush to Guangzhou.”

   Li Baolu's mind was immediately distracted, and she said, "Then I'll go to the pier in a while to find Manager He and ask when their boat will leave. Don't you go to a party with the same year?"

  After the exam, everyone will gather to eat, drink, exchange experiences and accumulate feelings in order to accumulate contacts.

   Gu Jingyun thought for a while, then said, "Someone will come to invite me in a while, just show it when the time comes."

Although Gu Jingyun is proud, he knows that everything in this world is easy to obtain, and only talents are rare. Although those people are not as knowledgeable as him, they always have advantages over him. The phrase "change it if it's not good" has been read since he knew how to read. He has been teaching the children in the village to read over the years, and he has come to understand the meaning of this phrase more deeply.

   Even though they are weaker than him in IQ, they will always be superior to him in other places, or ability, or character, so he does not exclude attending these exchange meetings.

   But the candidates who came to invite people were very nervous. Gu Jingyun was cold and proud in the hearts of many candidates.

   He is the youngest, but has the best grades. Others feel that there is not enough time for exams, and the day is too short, but every time he turns in the papers before noon, so that everyone can’t find anyone who wants the right answer.

Except for the candidates in the county seat at home, most of the candidates live in the inn, and everyone communicates with each other when studying and taking exams, but Gu Jingyun does not live in the county seat, but he does not live in the inn, such a maverick person, plus his usual board With a serious face on his face, even if everyone was older than him, they couldn't help but feel frightened when they saw him, and felt that this person was arrogant and difficult to get along with.

   But I don't think this is wrong. He is talented and naturally qualified to be proud.

   The candidates who came forward to invite Gu Jingyun to the banquet were sent by lottery only after they got the red lottery.

   He didn't want to invite Gu Jingyun, so when Gu Jingyun agreed, his face flushed, tears flashed, and he looked at him excitedly.

  Gu Jingyun:  …

   Not only was this candidate very excited, but the candidates waiting for the banquet in Wanfu Building were also very excited when they saw Gu Jingyun, and they all stood up to salute him.

  Although Gu Jingyun won the third place in name, but he was the first place in the eyes of everyone. Although there is no first place in literature and no second in Wu, literati are always dissatisfied with each other, but that is in the case of equal strength.

Gu Jingyun had crushed them from the very beginning. The well-informed person even heard about Gu Jingyun's test paper answer from the county magistrate who reviewed the test paper. When he thought about the time it took him to answer the question, he was initially dissatisfied, and at this time he had no choice but to. Humbled.

   The candidates taking the county exam are mostly teenagers under the age of 30. Their minds are not complicated. Admiration is admiration, and their faces show that they don’t mind at all.

  Gu Jingyun raised his eyebrows, but he was more like them two points. After three rounds of drinking, everyone asked Gu Jingyun for homework.

  Gu Jingyun is not a teacher, and the children in the village have always been solid, and he was taught by Li Baolu to ask questions if he didn't understand, so he had to pretend to understand, so he had to face countless problems every day.

   At this time, he was asked questions by the same year, and he answered them one by one on the conditioned reflex.

Unlike Li Baolu who likes to break up the answers to tell the students, he only points out a sentence or two, and the rest depends on his personal understanding. If he understands it, it is his own. Impossible to serve like an old mother.

   But it is also rare for the candidates. After a little bit of knowledge by Gu Jingyun, they suddenly understood, and their eyes brightened when they looked at Gu Jingyun.

   This person looks arrogant on the face, but his heart is good, the key is not to hide!

In Qiongzhou Mansion, the county magistrate with the highest degree of education is from Tongjinshi, and then the county magistrate in the county office. He is from Juren, but both are officials. Ask the county oracles or scholars.

   But they didn't say anything because of their identities, and their ability to answer questions was far less than Gu Jingyun's.

   At this moment, all the candidates in the restaurant realized that Gu Jingyun's ability was probably higher than those of the talented people in the county. They couldn't help but go forward to curry favor with him, making the atmosphere more lively than ever.

  Gu Jingyun does not drink alcohol, but only substitutes tea for wine.

   Li Baolu was also flattered, but unlike Gu Jingyun's calmness, Li Baolu was rather flattered.
