After a few days, Zhou Bai’s popularity decreased slightly, after all, he did not show his face in front of the public, and he dared to hang out leisurely with the old style.

In the streets, all kinds of people are talking about the county test.

“When did the red list come out? Tomorrow?

“I heard from my cousin who works in the county government that in fact, now that the rankings are out, I am just waiting for the prefecture to record the status of the talents.”

“Gee, that’s a soldier’s status, and you won’t need to serve the Natian tax in the future.”

“Do you know which princes of the prefecture can win? I’ll tell you…” The

old man walked on the road, looked at the six roads, listened to all directions, and for a while was a little dissatisfied with the high talk of passers-by.

“Young Master Bai, this county trial is still discussing your poetry for two days, how can I talk about this show in a blink of an eye.”

Zhou Bai chewed the poria cake in his mouth, and replied incoherently: “Are you thinking too highly of me, can the popularity of those poems be compared to national events?” Besides, the heat of the moment is nothing, I want a long-term reputation, so that I can nourish my qi. The

old man was stunned, some did not understand, only felt that he, Young Master Bai, was a little gluttonous.

After two days of the exam, I actually kept walking around the county town, and I still went to those old streets, just because there were many snacks and snacks.

How did he know that Zhou Bai was busy settling down in his previous life, and he didn’t even have time to stop and taste the food, and he lived a second life, of course, Zhou Bai had to compensate himself.

No matter what happens in the future, at least you must have tasted and seen the scenery and food along the way.

“Let’s go, eat and drink, and get down to business.” Wiping the residue from the corner of his mouth, Zhou Bai strode straight to his destination.

Turn left and right all the way through the streets and alleys.

“Young Master Bai hasn’t been to the county before, how can he be so familiar?” The old man was full of doubts.

Somewhere in a cramped, dark alley, the humid air was unbearable, and Zhou Bai lifted his robe and crossed the puddle to a dilapidated courtyard.

This dilapidated courtyard is different from the dilapidated one of Zhou Bai’s family, and the courtyard in front of him is called the residence of the people at the bottom.

Weeds overgrew between the stone crevices of the walls, walls, and passageways, and the roofs of the wooden houses on both sides were bare, because there was not even a single broken tile on it, and I don’t know whether it was used to fill other houses or blown off by the wind.

Only the main room in the middle barely maintained some decency, the rusted door knockers were rubbed smooth and translucent, and the hollow carved wooden windows were still pasted with cheap window paper. Through the crack in the

musty door, I saw an old woman in the courtyard, although her hair was white, but she did not stop, pounding hard the change of clothes in the basin. Inside, there is also a creaking

mixture, which turns out to be a young woman stepping on a machine in an open hall.

“Knock knock~ Is Master Chen Le at home?” Zhou Bai thought about it or knocked on the door of the courtyard and shouted inside.

Then there was a moving sound, Zhou Bai waited patiently outside the door, and only a moment later a middle-aged man appeared to open the door.

Zhou Baiyuguang glanced inward lightly and found that the old women and washed clothes in the courtyard were gone, and the hall inside was also closed with the main entrance.

The man was wearing a white robe, the background was difficult to see, and his loose hair covered his broad forehead, and his temperament was not visible.

He looked Zhou Bai up and down with a pair of tired eyes and asked, “Which one are you?”

At first glance, he would think that a man was a standard down-and-out middle-aged, but Zhou Bai saw his straight back, as well as the unwillingness and ambition in his eyes.

Of course, the key is the art of hope, which is his hole card for looking at people.

“The youngster’s name is Zhou Bai, the candidate for this county exam, and I am here to visit you, Mr. Chen Zhongbang.” Zhou Bai bowed his hand, and his posture of visiting others was very upright.

In just one sentence, Chen Zhongbang was stunned several times, did the county examination candidate appear in this kind of poor alley, or did he come to visit him?

But he would not refuse to be left by the door, nodded and opened the courtyard door completely: “No matter what, come first.”

Chen Zhongbang walked in front, Zhou Bai and the old style followed behind, and in a few moments, his luck was seen through by Zhou Bai.

All around him were just scattered pale white qi luck, and further away were several very strong gray gas chains that bound his outer luck. Even in the gray gas chain, there is

occasionally a trace of gray gas rushing into the external transport to wreak havoc, although it will be consumed in the end, but obviously there is not much pale white gas luck left. Perhaps it was the

reason for the gray qi chain, Zhou Bai’s introductory qi technique could not see Chen Zhongbang’s true life, but only vaguely saw that it was an ordinary white life.

Came to the wrong place? Zhou Bai was slightly puzzled in his heart.

In his previous life, this top adviser who was the governor of Dingzhou was outstanding in internal affairs.

Under the condition that several counties of Dingzhou were independent, Xiangzhu Governor abruptly maintained the prefecture’s finances, preserved a trace of the face of the Daxu imperial court, and finally scraped together the money and food to form a new army.

It’s a pity that he only has forty-four Origin Points now, and he is still a little short of raising the Qiqi Technique to Xiao Cheng, otherwise he can see more thoroughly.

In a moment of hope, the three of them had already walked into the courtyard.

Chen Zhongbang strode forward, stopped in front of the hall, and reached out to open the door, but hesitated for a moment.

Seeing this, Zhou Bai turned around and walked to the corner of the courtyard, where there were several stone benches, and shouted at the same time: “Mr. Chen, I won’t enter the house when I wait, so as not to disturb the family.”

Chen Zhongbang was stunned and wanted to say something, but seeing the calm smile on Zhou Bai’s face, he couldn’t help nodding and said, “Then I’ll pour you tea, wait.”

“Young Master, this is?” Zhou Bai’s actions, who couldn’t understand this way at all, but at the moment he couldn’t help but ask.

Isn’t it proper for guests to come inside?

Zhou Bai just shook his head and didn’t explain much.

He was leaving some dignity for Chen Zhongbang, and what he saw outside just now was obviously very poor.

If he enters the house, will he have to trouble his family to clean up again, saying that he can’t see the four walls of the family, and making the guests laugh?

Originally a talented person, he ended up being bound to the household register, and his family was still destitute.

That’s right, Chen Zhongbang is a musician, and his family is a Lehu designated by the imperial court, belonging to one of the former pariahs.

Although today’s imperial examination does not discriminate against pariahs, the Chen family is a criminal who has broken the law in their ancestors, so they are not allowed to leave the imperial examination without leaving their household registration.

Talented people are arrogant, Chen Zhongbang is such a proud person, he hates being a musician who makes ends meet, so he never plays an instrument at home.

Just now, Zhou Bai came over, and there was any sound in the courtyard, but there was no sound of silk bamboo.

After a while, Chen Zhongbang turned around from the house and brought two cups of hot tea in his hand.

“Recently, the family has been embarrassed, and there is no good tea, and the two of you laughed.”

“Where, where, it’s me who suddenly seems presumptuous to come here.” Zhou Bai took the teacup with a smile, and it was indeed the worst rough on the market, and it was difficult to see two pieces of complete tea leaves floating on the surface.

However, Zhou Bai did not have any disgust and tasted tea as if he usually drank tea.

The old style takes a big sip of hot tea, exhaling to quench thirst, and cares about the quality of tea.

“What does Zhou Sheng mean by this, you may as well say it bluntly.” Chen Zhongbang’s face was much better, but he still asked directly.

If you are so courteous to others, you will ask for something.

“Please sir, please use the plan in your heart for my use!”
