After listening to Chen Xiran's words, Li Jin stared at the test number at the top of the word '中'!
Sure enough, it was one hundred and thirty two.
Looking at Li Jin's reaction, Chen Xiran suddenly came back to his senses and said with a smile, "A Jin, don't you look at the desk first?"
He first found out that A Jin was the head of 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 desk first, but because the examination number of the desk was right above the '中', and the word '中' was different from the ordinary spelling, the one in the middle was long at the top and short at the bottom.
In fact, it is more like the upper half of the word "expensive", which means that it is expensive.
This also led to the fact that the test number of the desk leader was one word ahead of the others. Li Jin only wanted to look for the ones that started with 'one', but he couldn't find a few, and there would be no one hundred and thirty two among them.
Li Jin shook his head, but did not explain his reason.
Fortunately, Chen Xiran didn't ask, otherwise, this incident would really make people laugh for days.
Because the way the county exam is released is rather special, there is only the exam number of the examinee, and no name or place of origin. The crowd of onlookers only knew that this was called the 'Ring List', but they didn't know that anyone on their side could pass the exam.
Someone dared to ask: "Master, is there anyone in our town?"
The yamen who posted the list laughed when he heard the words, and said, "The chief of the case is with you, of course someone has won!"
"The head of the case?!" Someone exclaimed.
"Fellow fellow, what is the leader of the case? What number is that? I only know the champion."
The person next to him kindly explained: "The desk leader is the first place in this exam."
"Isn't that the champion?" They are all first, no problem.
"…?"
This episode passed quickly, but there has been no case in town for more than ten years, and this time one finally came out, and everyone knew about it soon.
"The first place is the young man from our town!"
Huang Xiucai also learned the news very quickly. While he was slightly stunned, he secretly prayed in his heart that even if this desk chief was not Xu Zifan, he was a student of another Xiucai!
But it can't be Li Jin!
Otherwise, there will be times when his face hurts.
There was a knock on the door soon. Huang Xiucai sent someone to open the door. When he saw his three students come in together, the first sentence was: "Who is the head of the case?"
Xu Zifan originally had a smile on his face, but this time he did well in the exam and was fourth.
According to such a ranking, his chances of being swept down in the subsequent government exams are not high. After all, the county magistrate also needs face, and it would be too embarrassing if the top few selected by him were swept away.
Xu Zifan's last exam, the county exam result was the last, but he was slapped down in the government exam. Now that he has accumulated a lot of money, he is naturally very happy to get the fourth place.
But Huang Xiucai didn't ask whether the three of them failed the list.
Huang Yiling, who is usually close to Huang Xiucai, replied: "The first examination number is Yibaisanshi2, and the name is not marked."
Huang Xiucai added: "Isn't it Li Jin?"
Huang Yiling bowed her head: "Students don't know."
Huang Xiucai heard the words, and then looked at the smiles on the faces of the other two students that were gradually dissipating, and then he suddenly recovered.
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 a teenager, I compared who was the first to pass the exam, and then who could teach better students...
Huang Xiucai felt that he was too obsessed with comparisons.
He took a sip of tea and then asked, "Did you pass the exam? What is the ranking of Yuandao (Xu Zifan's name)?"
Xu Zifan replied in a proper manner: "Students are fourth."
Zhou Qi said, "Student thirty-seventh."
Huang Yiling felt very guilty. He said, "Sir, I am not on the list."
If it was in the past, Huang Xiucai would definitely be very concerned about his situation, and asked him to discuss all his uncertainties with his classmates.
But this time, Huang Xiucai had a lump in his heart, he just said: "Yuan Dao and Zhou Qi can't slack off during this time, and prepare for the government exam in April. Yiling, don't paint any more this year, use your spare time to read more silently and do Arithmetic problems."
"Yes, sir."
Not long after that, the news that the head of the case was Li Jin spread all over the streets.
Huang Xiucai locked himself in the study for a whole day, without burning the charcoal pot, and was deserted and lonely. Families and students are not allowed to enter.
Huang Yiling stood outside the door, like an ant on a hot pan, turning round and round.
"This is how to do?"
Several of them knew in their hearts that the husband and Song Xiucai had been comparing secretly, and this time Song Xiucai's students were better than others. Mr. Huang must be uncomfortable.
But they didn't expect Huang Xiucai to be so obvious and lose his self-restraint.
But as students, they can't directly say Mr. Huang's mistakes, and can only find a way to solve Mr. Huang.
Huang Xiucai didn't come out until Zishi, and his three students also stood in the yard to Zishi, enduring the cold wind and not burning the charcoal basin with his husband.
After he came out, he looked at his three students, and finally couldn't hold back the 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'm not as good as Song Xiucai this time. I admit defeat. But life always has its ups and downs. I've personally screened Mengtong this time. If I don't believe it, I can't pick out a good seedling!"
Huang Yiling and the three were also relieved. Fortunately, Mr. Huang didn't fall down because of this.
But they also have a touch of loss in their hearts. Mr. Huang has never poured real affection into them, and just wants 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 who posted the list replied to the people around him: "The case is from Hongyan Village, and our adults have 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, go and plead guilty to Mr. Song on my behalf."
Chen Xiran said: "What kind of accusation is this? If you don't go back first, and you can't receive those officials, then you will accuse him. I'll go and announce the good news to Mr. Song!"
Li Jin came to the town this time with a tael of silver, intending to exchange it for broken silver.
He had previously thought that if he was in high school, he would have to thank the official with scraps of silver for a trip.
If not, it is also convenient to carry after changing the broken silver. All in all, there are benefits.
Li Jin hurriedly went downstairs to buy a few packets of dim sum, the remaining money did not let Xiao Er give him copper coins, but directly asked for silver coins.
Then he quickened his pace and walked towards the village.
Chen Xiran sent him to Zhenzikou and said, "A Jin doesn't have to be in a hurry. The people sent by the magistrate usually take a long time to post the list, so it's still too late for you to go back now."
Li Jin nodded: "Well, if you see Brother Zhuzi, tell him that I have been hit, and you have to go back first."
Chen Xiran said, "Don't worry, it's on me. When you're done with your work, the master at the desk will have a treat."
Li Jin agreed at once: "Okay."
Li Jin ran as he walked. There were only his husband and children left at home. He was worried that the yamen was tall and mighty and scared his two cubs.
As a result, when Li Jin returned, the yamen who sent the good news had not arrived.
On the contrary, the village chief squatted in front of the door smoking a cigarette and asked with a smile, "Is there a ranking?"
Since the person hasn't arrived yet, Li Jin is no longer in a hurry, he said, "Yes, the desk chair."
With a bang, the village chief's cigarette went out.
Li Jin stepped forward, helped him pick it up, and said, "Uncle, I played well."
At this time, I can't say 'the question is too simple', or it will be a naked slap in the face of the county officials and the adults who teach Confucianism.
Li Jin has been in ancient times for a long time, and he knows what to say and what not to say.
What impressed him the most was Liu Yong and Liu Tuntian, the famous poets of Song Dynasty.
When the jinshi list was released that year, because of a poem by Liu Yong expressing that he didn't like to make a name for himself - 'forbearance of the floating name, and singing in a low voice', Song Renzong directly crossed the name.
After that, someone recommended Liu Yong's talent to Renzong again, but Renzong only replied 'and go to fill in the words'.
After that, Liu Yong was unwilling in his life, so he gave up and went into brothel brothels, claiming to be 'Following the decree to fill in the words Liu Sanbian'.
The village chief patted Li Jin's arm and wanted to say a lot of praise, but in the end he was too shocked, so he could only blurt out "Okay"!
Li Jin said goodbye to the village chief and said, "The official who will deliver the good news will come soon, so I will go back and clean up first."
No, he ran back, sweating all over his face, but he had to wipe it off.
Li Jin put down the pastry, cleaned his hands, and changed into a new robe.
Just as he was about to share the joy of his high school case with his husband, the village chief brought Li Daniu over to send firecrackers, "I think your family might not have this kind of stuff. The official will come later, light it up and listen to the fun."
Qin Muwen's eyes widened, his heart beating fast and hastily. Is his husband really caught
Will there be an official to deliver the good news in a while
Li Jin held his hand, pinned his hair behind his ear for him, and said, "It's natural."
The village chief said with a smile: "Not only was he hit, but he was also the head of the case!"
Li Daniu didn't know what the head of the case meant, and the village chief said, "It's the first place in our county's exam this time."
Just when Li Daniu clapped his hands and applauded, there was the sound of hooves outside, accompanied by the sound of gongs.
The villagers came out of their homes one by one and stood in the courtyard watching.
"This is Hongyan Village?"
The village chief hurried out. Fortunately, Li Jin's house was not far from the entrance of the village, only two steps away.
"It's Hongyan Village, sir."
The man was riding on a tall horse with red silk on the horse's head. He was very happy.
"I am waiting for the order of the county magistrate to come to send the good news to Li Jin, the chief of the case."
The village chief asked Li Daniu to lead the way without the official's orders.
Later, 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 take advantage of the case chief's jubilation, saying, "I wish you three yuan in primary and middle school."
"Thank you sir."
Immediately, Li Jin handed over the broken silver, the man held it in his hand, pinched 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 beg you, let's leave it for now."
"Master, walk slowly."
It stands to reason that there is no need to send someone to send a special good news for an exam like the county exam.
But if the county magistrate is optimistic about the case, he will send someone to specifically inform him.
On the one hand, it shows the attitude of the magistrate; on the other hand, it is also a urging of the case chief. Earlier, the yamen said, 'I hope he will be even in the middle and primary schools'.
As soon as the yamen left, the villagers all gathered around, looking at the 'good news' of red satin fabric on Li Jin's hand, with envy and wishes in their eyes.
At the same time, Mr. Song learned that Li Jin was actually a high school desk clerk and almost didn't hold the teacup in his hand.
After Chen Xiran left, he said to his wife, "There seems to be a child in Li Jin's family. He is only seven years apart from our eldest son, why don't we have a baby kiss?"
