Shen Yongjia was caught up in the long exam and didn't speak for a long time.
On one side is the cake painted by Wang Shizhen, the old alliance leader, and on the other side is the cake painted by Lin Tailai. How to choose?
Lin Tailai drank a cup of tea and was fed some fruits by the beauty. He became a little impatient and asked again:
"Is the young master thinking about how to reply to the old leader Wang now?
At the same time, I am also thinking, can I not only make good use of me, Lin Tailai, but also get benefits from the old alliance leader Wang?"
Shen Yongjia subconsciously asked, "How did you know?"
Lin Tailai smiled and said: "If you have any questions like this, you can just ask me directly from now on.
I can definitely answer your questions, so why do you have to put in the effort to think about it yourself."
Reason told Mr. Shen that he could no longer listen to Lin Tailai's unilateral temptation, but he still sat still.
"The first thing I want to say is that the old alliance leader Wang can only give you some false names at present, but false names are what you, Master Zaifu, need the least!
What you need most now is how to realize the Prime Minister's family, not just a false reputation!
I am a low-level person who has nothing, so I greedily pursue fame. You have no need to do so!"
Second Young Master Shen: "."
I didn't expect you, Lin Tailai, to be so cruel that you would even be embarrassed!
"The second thing I want to say is that as long as your father is still the chief minister, it is impossible for Wang Shizhen and Wang Xijue to truly trust you.
I heard that the old leader Wang suspected that you instigated me to deliberately cause trouble at the literary conference, right?
All I want to say about this is that if he suspects you of doing these things, then you'd better have really done it!
That’s all I’ll say below. You can go back and figure it out for yourself!
If you still don’t know how to make the right choice, I have nothing to say!”
After saying this, Lin Tailai stood up, took the beauty back to the back room, and continued to sleep.
Shen Yongjia shouted at Lin Tailai's back: "Don't think I can't see it, you are playing hard to get!"
A real man never looks back. Lin Tailai hugged the beauty and continued walking inside.
Shen Yongjia shouted again: "Please continue to address me as Er Ye from now on, and don't change it to Young Master without authorization!"
This is probably the last stubbornness of a prime minister.
For several days in a row, Suzhou's literary world remained calm, with the old leader continuing to recuperate and Professor Lin preparing for the county examination.
It can be said that the years were peaceful and nothing happened.
However, the arena in the west of the county is bustling with activity. The Three Halls Alliance in Mudu Town, relying on the prestige of defeating Professor Lin, is still vigorously advocating the formation of the Hudong Grand Alliance.
It is said that some people are already interested in joining the big league.
But Professor Lin was very quiet and didn't even fight back at all. No one knew what medicine was being sold in the gourd.
Logically speaking, as long as Professor Lin still intends to mess around in the world, he cannot let go of Mudu Town, which holds the key points upstream.
So in a peaceful atmosphere, the county examination started.
Zhang Youyu still helped find an old scholar in his fifties who was willing to take the risk to be Professor Lin's guarantor.
Anyway, this old scholar is over fifty years old, so he doesn't need to think about his future.
On the day of the county examination in early April, outside the examination courtyard in the east part of the city, there had been crowds of people since early in the morning.
Generally, county examinations are held in county offices, and counties do not build examination halls specifically for examinations.
However, there are too many candidates in the counties in Suzhou City, and Suzhou City itself is not short of money, so a special examination center was built, and this examination center is shared by Wu County, Changzhou County, and Suzhou Prefecture.
Of course, for the lowest-end exams like the county exam, it is impossible for each candidate to have a single room like the provincial exam and the general exam.
In the examination hall, an examination booth was set up, and then there were long tables and long benches connected together. Candidates sat one by one to answer questions.
It was still dark at this time, but the lights outside the examination courtyard were brightly lit.
Feng Shu sent his son Feng Menglong to take the exam, but since his son was only twelve years old, Feng Shu would not be at ease if he entered the exam room alone.
However, it was impossible to let family members enter the examination room to accompany the examination, so Feng Shu could only say to repeated reminders:
“After receiving the seat number during the inspection, I quickly entered the venue and found the seat according to the seat number.
You must be careful in your words and deeds in the examination room. Don’t say one more word or take one more step.”
"Isn't this Dr. Feng!" Suddenly someone shouted from behind.
Feng Shu didn't need to look back, he could tell just by listening to the voice that the person behind him must be Professor Lin with the Iron Fist and the Golden Whip.
It should be said that many doctors in Suzhou City are familiar with Professor Lin's voice.
It is said that Professor Lin alone was able to increase the net profit of Suzhou's pharmaceutical industry by 10% year-on-year in the past two months.
Professor Lin held the young Feng Menglong’s little head in his hands and vowed:
"Don't worry, Doctor Feng! Once you enter the examination room, I will protect you!"
Feng Shu didn't know whether he should feel relieved or not.
All he could say was: "There are thousands of candidates in the venue, so it's not easy for Professor Lin to meet a puppy.
And since you are not allowed to move around at will, how can Professor Lin care about the puppy?"
Lin Tailai smiled heartily and said: "My seat number is Bing 30, and your master's is Bing 29. They are right next to each other!"
Feng Shu: "."
This seat number hasn’t been issued to the candidates yet, do you already know it all?
At this time, the search and admission suddenly began.
Most of the candidates taking the exam lined up with test baskets, which contained pens, stationery, food and other items, but paper was not allowed.
After roll call and inspection, the candidates will naturally be issued seat numbers and manuscript papers, and then candidates can enter the venue.
Xiao Feng Menglong was at the front of the queue. After being searched, he got his seat number. When he saw that it was indeed Bing 29, he suddenly felt that he was shrouded in a huge shadow again.
"What is this?" The officer in charge of the inspection pulled out two iron-fingered tigers from Lin Tailai's examination basket.
Lin Tailai replied seriously: "This is a tool to correct the posture of holding a pen. It can also be used as a pen holder and a paperweight."
The officer in charge of the inspection: "."
If they hadn't heard you call Lin Tailai during the roll call, they would have believed you!
Where did the word "Iron Fist" come from in "Iron Fist and Golden Whip"?
Professor Lin argued: "It is not a sword weapon, and it cannot be used for cheating. Why not bring it into the field?
If it is said to be hard, then the inkstone is also very hard, and there are others with stones!"
The main reason is that safety is the first priority when traveling in the world. There are thousands of candidates taking the exam. What if there are enemies among them and they block themselves in the examination room?
The clerk next to him waved his hand, "Forget it, let him in!"
Lin Tailai took the seat number of "Bing Thirty". After finding the seat, he said to Xiao Feng Menglong next to him:
“The most important thing in the exam is to be careful, don’t be careless!
I have a suggestion: when dictating the original text of the sutra, you must check it carefully every time you finish writing a piece of paper!
After I finish writing this one as a reference, you can continue writing the next one."
Xiao Feng Menglong: "."
Professor Lin comforted him and said: "Calm down and don't be nervous!
If you don't pass the exam, I will definitely not tell your father that you wasted your homework because you were addicted to Jin Ping Mei."
Xiao Feng Menglong: "."
He was already exhausted before the exam even started. He just wanted to finish it early and go home.
If compared with the examination levels of later generations, the county examination is only equivalent to promotion from primary school to junior high school.
Therefore, there will generally be no side questions, strange questions, or difficult questions in the county examination. The two questions given are complete sentences and will not be randomly combined.
The main test contents include dictating the meaning of the scriptures and writing two articles.
