Zhao Ce met everyone's eyes and approached.

He raised his hands to Li Xiucai and said, "Sir, the student is late."

Li Xiucai said with a smile: "It's not too late."

"Just in time."

In the lobby, someone saw Zhao Ce.

He was the first to shout: "Zhao Ce is here!"

"I heard that he is the leader of this county examination!"

"Yes, this county examination is the first case. When it comes to the government examination, he will definitely pass it."

"The quota for this boy student has been locked in advance."

"I heard that the county magistrate values ​​him very much. Could he have used some back door?"

"Are you crazy? No matter how much the county magistrate values ​​you, why would you commit such fraud for the sake of a peasant like him?"

"If the county magistrate really cheated like this, how could he fool the governor in front of him?"

"You can't think that Zhao Ce, a farmer, can even be bribed by the royal family, right?"

"That's right..."

"Then Zhao Ce really became the head of the case based on his own real materials."

"..."

Everyone looked at Zhao Ce and the group of people and started talking about it.

After Li Xiucai finished telling Zhao Ce that it was not too late, he said to Master Liu who was stunned next to him: "Then I'll leave first."

"Congratulations to Liu Xiucai too."

Master Liu's expression could not be described as good.

Naturally, he heard clearly what the people around him were saying.

He remembered that at that time, Zhao Ce was brought to him by his uncle and he took the school entrance examination.

Zhao Ce obviously responded fluently.

But I couldn't see any changes in him at all.

Later in court.

Zhao Ce also spoke very fluently about the writing and history of the Qin Dynasty.

Later, poems about the Mid-Autumn Festival...

The more Master Liu thought about it, the less he wanted to think about it.

The Four Books and Five Classics, poetry, historical treatises...

What kind of incompetence does this Zhao Ce have?

Aren’t these the things that the imperial examination tests?

Why have I lost my mind and pushed such a student away?

Master Liu's hand hanging on one side moved unconsciously.

My heart hurts a little and I want to cover it up...

He glanced at Zhao Ce.

That look seemed to bring a bit of pain and grievance.

Zhao Ce just nodded slightly to him as a greeting.

Li Xiucai took the lead, followed by several students behind him.

The eyes of the entire lobby followed them.

The team of less than ten people suddenly emerged with an eye-catching momentum like a thousand troops.

All the students behind Master Liu were once classmates of Zhao Ce.

At this time, they all looked at Zhao Ce's back with disheveled expressions.

Who would have thought.

When they were expelled from school last year, people who were not even qualified to be used by their masters are now weighing on them?

Master Liu came back to his senses, and his voice no longer had the previous excitement.

He said calmly: "Let's eat first."

"After dinner, you all go back to school, and I will give you a good make-up of your homework."

"If you can't pass the prefectural examination, then no matter how well you do in this county examination, it will have no meaning."

Zhao Ce didn't say anything just now.

But Liu Xiucai felt as if his heart had been penetrated by needles.

Heartbreaking...

Now, he can only use this to comfort himself...

...

Zhao Ce and his party entered the private room.

Wu Xueli never closed his mouth when he smiled.

Li Xiucai couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Master Liu's appearance.

But a gentleman does not talk about people behind their backs.

He didn't say much.

As for Zhao Ce...

After receiving Liu Xiucai's gaze, he had no idea.

It’s hard to say whether this Master’s character is bad or not.

It's just that he is too utilitarian.

For students who you think have no value, just give up.

At first.

As long as he could make the decision, he would call Zhao Anming and others to inquire carefully.

After understanding the misunderstanding, say something to the original owner.

The original owner would not be angry to death by them.

But it’s useless to think too much.

It's better to focus on the next exam.

While waiting for the food to be served, Li Xiucai said: "In the past few days, you should eat and drink."

"Before the end of the month, we have to leave for Fucheng to prepare for the Fucheng examination."

After the county examination, the prefecture examination follows closely.

The content and process of the exam are similar to those of the county exam.

For the prefectural examination, the questions are set by the local prefect.

If you pass both tests, you will officially become a child.

There were students in the room who had not participated in the county examination, and they all listened quietly to Li Xiucai's words.

Zhao Ce and Qiu Shubai ranked high. Normally during the prefecture examination, the prefecture master would give them more impression points when he saw their rankings in the county examination.

But Wu Xueli was ranked as Queen Mother, and Li Xiucai felt that it was very likely that he would be removed.

However, looking at his silly and happy look, Li Xiucai did not say anything offensive for the time being.

After Li Xiucai finished announcing the departure date for the imperial examination, Wu Xueli said happily: "My father has sent someone to charter a boat today."

"At that time, the three of us will go there together."

Li Xiucai nodded: "There will be mutual insurance candidates with us, so you should get familiar with them in advance."

"If you pass the government examination, you can still be a guarantee together with the college examination."

While they were talking, the food was served.

The guy at the back had a lot of good wine in his hands.

Li Xiucai was still sullen just now, talking to his students about the government examination.

As soon as I saw the wine, my face burst into laughter.

He said to Wu Xueli: "You are still sensible."
