At dusk, half of the restaurant ushered in a small wave.

A large group of students suddenly poured into the restaurant together, as if they had drunk soju. Someone came in and thanked Nie Yunzhu profusely, and then ran to the second floor to join the others in reciting poems and playing poems on the theme of bamboo excitedly.

Nie Yunzhu saw that these students looked crazy and asked Lin Haoran what was going on. Lin Haoran did not say anything about the poems, but only said that these people were crazy and told her lunatics to stay away.

The truth is that the previous activities held by the restaurant have brought benefits to these candidates. Since they have to write poems inscribed on bamboo, it is inevitable to communicate with the poems of their predecessors, so they talked about Du Mu's "Inscribed on Liu Xiucai Hsinchu".

When the "roots piercing the green moss pattern" appeared, these candidates knew that they were about to chant bamboo.

The poem test does not test literary talent, and it does not even have much to do with the poem itself. As long as you can figure out that the poem refers to bamboo, then this question is basically a score question.

Write a poem about bamboo, even if your poem is as bad as shit, you will still get a passing score. Of course, if you can do it well, you will get more favor from the county magistrate.

Just like this, those average-level candidates attributed the credit to half of the restaurant, to Nie Yunzhu whose name had the word "bamboo" in it, and their favorability towards this restaurant skyrocketed.

This group of scholars chatted very excitedly, but it was a pity that there was no wine or food, otherwise it would have been a considerable income. However, even if the pastries prepared by Nie Yunzhu were sold out, they still made a good income.

A lone star twinkled, hanging deep in the northern night mist.

Lin Haoran helped drive away the crazy scholars, had a meal, and then left half of the restaurant, carrying the lantern that Nie Yunzhu forced him to go back to the Laohuai Inn.

But when he entered the lobby, he saw Chen Guozhi and others sitting in the lobby drinking. When they saw him coming in, they were ecstatic for a while, and then changed to depressed faces in an instant.

Lin Haoran was slightly stunned, thinking that his eyes had made a mistake just now, but looking at them as if they were mourning for their heirs, he couldn't help but asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Brother Lin...hey!" Gu Qingfeng stopped talking.

"Time! Fate!" Zhang Lei shook his head.

"How sad! How sad!" Zheng Guozhi was heartbroken.

Lin Haoran yawned, cupped his hands towards them, and then left with gestures: "If nothing happens, I'll go back to the room first!"

Don't!

don't want……

Ouch, my waist!

When the three of them heard Lin Haoran's words, their expressions suddenly changed. They had been waiting in the lobby for more than an hour to wait for this guy. How could they let him go back to his room like this!

Therefore, there was a sound of chairs moving, and someone even accidentally ducked.

"Brother Lin, don't be sad, I think Quan has gained experience this time!"

"That's right! If you want to go home tomorrow, I'll ask someone to give you a ride!"

"Brother Xian, you are still young. In a few years, the county magistrate will change, so you will definitely have a chance."

…

The three of them no longer cared about being reserved, and all spoke to comfort Lin Haoran, acting like a good big brother.

The first two are fine, but Zheng Guozhi's comforting words are really a needle in the cotton. When the county magistrate is replaced, how long and what month will it take? If the county magistrate never changes, won't he be waiting to die?

Lin Haoran looked at the hypocritical faces, but he understood that these people thought that he would definitely not pass the county examination, so they came here to comfort him... no, they came here to see his jokes.

Just seeing that he is not in the inn, but can still sit in the lobby and drink and wait until this moment, this is really perseverance. If you put this perseverance elsewhere, why worry about big things happening?

But I didn’t do well in the exam. The test paper I made was impeccable. I thought he gave me less than full marks. If you sit here for a long time and wait to comfort me, you might as well consider whether you can pass it and whether you need it.

Need others to comfort you.

Look! He’s so stupid that he can’t even speak!

Haha! I’m afraid I won’t even smile if I get hit!

You deserve it! When the results are released, that’s when you really want to cry!

…

However, he stood there in silence and immediately gave different interpretations to the three people. The three people had sad expressions, but they each had their own evil intentions and despised Lin Haoran.

Lin Haoran was too lazy to explain to these people, so he cupped his hands and said to them: "I'm a little tired from the exam today, I'm going back to my room first!"

This group of people had been waiting here for half a night just to see his joke. How cruel it would be if telling the truth ruined their fun! Strictly speaking, Lin Haoran was a good person.

After saying that, I went back to the room directly and asked the waiter who met me for hot water, intending to take a hot bath.

"He fell asleep in the examination room and is sleeping again now. Is he a pig?"

"What a pity, this nerd is actually quite diligent!"

"So what if you are diligent! If a nerd like this encounters a truncation question, he will just fail!"

…

As soon as Lin Haoran left, the three of them had different faces, especially Zheng Guozhi's face with the word "disgust" written on it.

The matter was not over yet, and the news of Lin Haoran's "failure" soon spread.

On the second day, Lin Haoran found that everyone looked at him strangely, even during the middle of the drink. Later, Nie Yunzhu comforted him, and he realized what had happened.

That's it, he "failed" inexplicably, so sad!

Lin Haoran didn't have time to pay attention to this. During the day, he helped Nie Yunzhu handle the affairs of the restaurant. At night, he began to do some homework and studied the eight-part essay seriously. As the saying goes, "Read three hundred Tang poems by heart, and you can copy them even if you don't know how to compose them." Now he

The solid foundation in his mind helped him, and he quickly figured out what the intersection and matching questions were all about.

In the blink of an eye, it’s time for the county exam results to be released.

In the county examination, the first test is very important. It is not only the test with the largest number of people admitted, but also the test with the largest number of people eliminated. The life and death of many people are decided here.

A total of forty places will be admitted, and twenty of them will be admitted in the first round. Then dozens to hundreds of people will be selected for reference in the second round, and the other 200 or so people will be eliminated directly.

Lin Haoran originally planned to go there in the evening, but Chen Guozhi and others were very enthusiastic. Not only did they find him in the middle of the restaurant, they also forcibly pulled him outside the county government office.

Yaqian Street is adjacent to Qingyun Street, so we quickly arrived in front of the county government office. The place where the results were posted was on the screen wall of the square in front of the county government office. This was a place specifically for posting public notices.

The release of the county examination results is called "the examination". Although the time has not yet come, nearly a hundred candidates have gathered in the small square. In order to see more clearly, everyone crowded towards the screen wall.

Lin Haoran came neither early nor late, and got a position that was not far or near.

There was a sudden movement at the gate of the county government office, and only a gong was heard. Several officials in soap uniforms were playing suonas, and a scribe came out from inside surrounded by a clerk carrying a list of papers.

When everyone saw that the list was about to be posted, they took the initiative to disperse to both sides to make way for them.

This list is very large, taking up half of the wall.

The crowd suddenly became lively and began to look for their seat numbers on the list. Voices of ecstasy were heard one after another. Everyone who saw someone named on the list had their eyes lighting up, as if they had drunk soju.

The rankings are divided into two rankings: A and B. The B ranking only qualified for a re-examination, but it is indeed worthy of celebration. Although they have not passed the county examination, they have not been eliminated, and the probability of qualifying for the prefectural examination is greatly increased.

"Sure enough, I just looked carefully and there is no nerd's seat number on it! Brother Lin, don't be depressed, the county magistrate may not issue a cut-off question next year, and you may pass by then!"

Zheng Guozhi emerged from the turbulent crowd, his brows were full of joy, I dare say he was so active, he was helping Lin Haoran see if there was anyone on the list, he was full of Lei Feng's spirit.

The other three members of the joint security team also just emerged from the crowd, but their expressions were different. Gu Qingfeng and Zhang Lei were happy, while Zhao Dongcheng had a woman's face.

After Zheng Guozhi comforted Lin Haoran, after hearing the situation, he looked at Zhao Dongcheng, who looked like a girl, sadly and said: "You and the nerd are both still young, so you two are here to gain experience!"

"Yes! If you are younger, you might be able to pass the next year or so!"

Gu Qingfeng and Zhang Lei were both ranked on the second list, and they were very happy. They comforted Zhao Dongcheng and Lin Haoran again.

Another gong sounded in front of the government office, and another clerk, surrounded by several government servants, came holding a red list. Seeing that the crowd was still scrambling to look at the second list, the clerk said loudly:

"This county's trial case is all here, please stay out of the way!"

When they heard that another list was to be posted, and it was also the first list, the people in front of the wall made way for them again. The clerk held the small red list and posted it with the help of the Yamen servant.

Zheng Guozhi was in a very good mood. He originally thought that the county magistrate would not rank him in the top list, but he seemed to be too pessimistic before, so he comforted Lin Haoran and Zhao Dongcheng: "You two go back and study in secret.

After I pass the boy test, I will go to you and give you guidance and knowledge!"

Depend on!

Lin Haoran couldn't help but rolled his eyes. It's hard to say how good this guy is, but he is definitely a real villain.

Just when he was getting excited, Zhang Lei tugged on his sleeves and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Chen, the number one on the top list seems to belong to an idiot!"

When Zheng Guozhi, who was carrying the attitude of a teacher, heard this, his voice suddenly stopped as if a handful of flies had been forced into his mouth. Then he subconsciously turned around and looked at the freshly released A list.

Ding Si!

Amazingly on the top list!
Chapter completed!
