After the servant rushed home in a hurry, the news that Li Jie was the head of the case spread throughout the house. After Lin Zhennan heard the news, he waved his hand and everyone was rewarded. The servants all smiled when they heard about the reward. Mrs. Wang cried with joy when she heard the news. , murmured: "If my son is fair, he will have a future... My son will be fair, and he will have a future."
Lin Zhennan saw Mrs. Wang crying and comforted her: "This is a good thing! A great thing! Stop crying, it's unlucky, it's unlucky!"
After hearing the unlucky words, Mrs. Wang immediately stopped talking, stopped her tears, and told Lin Zhennan that she would go to the temple in two days to pay her vows and thank the Bodhisattva for blessing Li Jie.
Li Jie was slightly surprised when he heard the news. He knew that this exam was a sure shot, and he only had some speculation about the case. After all, the ancient imperial examination examiners were still very subjective. No matter how good they were in writing, they could not guarantee that they would be qualified. Number one. What's more, as a boy, even if you get the title of the case in the first exam, there is nothing exciting. There will be government exams and college exams later. Even if you pass the exam, you will only be qualified to participate in the provincial exam. There will be a general exam later. , the palace examination, the road is slow and long.
As the county examination results were released, some people initially doubted that Lin Pingzhi, a little-known boy, had obtained the title of the case, thinking that there was something shady in it. After the article was published, all doubts disappeared.
"I have been reading for more than ten years, but the articles I write are not as good as those of a child?" After reading this article, a Confucian scholar stamped his feet, beat his chest, and howled uncontrollably.
"I'm not as good as they are! There are so many!" Some people looked up to the sky and sighed.
"Our city of Fuzhou is full of outstanding people, and another child prodigy has emerged!" After everyone's comments spread, this news suddenly spread in Fuzhou City.
…………
In addition to the discussions among the candidates, some celebrities in the city also commented: "This boy will definitely become a great person in the future!". Following this county examination, the name Lin Pingzhi spread throughout Fuzhou City and became famous for a while!
Li Jie has now become someone else's child. From time to time, parents talk to their children who are studying, "Look at this person, look at this person! You have done such a good job at a young age, but I am looking at you kid." After saying this, he was given a beating. These three words, Lin Pingzhi, became an insurmountable obstacle in the study lives of thousands of young children.
Recently, our Mr. Lin Zhennan, Mr. Lin, has been walking with wind, walking with devilish steps. From time to time he praises his son to the friends he makes, opening and closing his mouth and saying "I have a Qilin at home!", which makes the ears of those warriors go numb. , recently I have seen Mr. Lin taking detours one after another to show off his good son like this. Isn’t it just bullying us that we can’t give birth to such an outstanding son? I can’t afford to offend you, but I can’t afford to hide?
Mr. Lin has completely forgotten about the five-year agreement proposed by Li Jie. He only thinks that my son is really awesome.
Li Jie was not very excited about his family's congratulations, and the comments in the city were not very exciting. For Li Jie, this kind of scene of everyone's praise can only be regarded as a small scene. He has experienced the grand occasion of national coverage in the last world. This kind of scene All I can say is sprinkle it with water.
After the storm calmed down a bit, Li Jie returned to his usual routine. He had not been to the academy for a while when he was preparing for the county examination, but now he has recovered. When Li Jie arrived at the academy, he went to visit Zhou Xiucai.
After Zhou Xiucai saw Li Jie, who was full of ambition and contentment, he couldn't help but be satisfied. He pinched his beard and said with a smile.
"Good! Good! Good! Win without being arrogant. Only with this mentality can you go further in the imperial examination."
"Master, it's just a small county examination, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!" Li Jie replied humbly after hearing the Master's praise.
After hearing Li Jie's answer, Zhou Xiucai frowned, and then said: "Pingzhi, you are not arrogant about getting the head of the case, which is a great relief to the university. But it is not advisable for you to despise this honor. It should be noted that arrogance is not advisable, and pride is not advisable. Obtaining the first case in the county examination should not be taken lightly. Obtaining the first case means that you are basically guaranteed to pass the government examination. The fame of being a child is easily available. Think of how many candidates are disappointed. "
Hearing Zhou Xiucai's earnest warning, Li Jie felt warm in his heart. Although Zhou Xiucai misunderstood what he meant, Li Jie still bowed his hands.
"Yes, sir, the student has been taught!"
Zhou Xiucai was very satisfied with Li Jie's actions. Then he taught Li Jie about his experience in the examination room and asked him how he was preparing for the prefectural examination. Although everyone in each county's prefectural examination agreed to pass, there were still some surprises. Zhou Xiucai re-examined Li Jie's mastery of the Four Books and Five Classics, and found that he was still as good as before. He nodded with satisfaction and let him go.
After leaving Zhou Xiucai's place, Li Jie walked in the academy, and students around him congratulated Li Jie from time to time.
"Pingzhi, congratulations! You are the first in the case!"
"Lin Jishou! I came to school today, so I need to give you lots of advice in the future!"
…
"Case Leader Lin!"
When Li Jie heard the congratulations from these classmates, he stopped and raised his hands to express his gratitude. He only heard one word while talking to others.
"Pingzhi, why didn't you notify me when you came to school?" Wang Lun came to Li Jie and said with a hint of resentment.
Hearing Wang Lun's tone, Li Jie smiled and shrugged. He knew that this guy was playing tricks again, so he simply didn't answer him. Upon seeing this, Wang Lun knew what Li Jie meant, and then said in a serious tone.
"Pingzhi, sir, with my craftsmanship, I can take the county exam next year. I won't be too far behind you."
Looking at Wang Lun with a serious look on his face, Li Jie patted him on the shoulder.
"With your talent, the county examination is like searching for something in your pocket. You can definitely do it. I'm waiting for you in front."
During the period before the government examination, Li Jie continued to lead a regular life, practicing martial arts in the early morning, reading from morning to afternoon, practicing martial arts after school, practicing calligraphy before nightfall, and meditating after nightfall.
After Li Jie became successful in the sword technique of warding off evil spirits, Lin Zhennan also taught Li Jie the 108 "Heaven-shaking Palm" created by Lin Yuantu. Li Jie has already initially mastered this palm technique. If he has In terms of system evaluation, the system has probably gone beyond the first glimpse and has reached a certain level of success. The rules of the evil sword should be mastered and mastered. However, in fact, there is no system. These are what Li Jie usually uses to ridicule the system.
Time has quickly come to April, and the government examination is about to begin. As a prefecture-level administrative district under the Chief Secretary of Fujian Province, Fuzhou City is also the provincial capital of Fujian. It saves Li Jie from the pain of running for exams. This is one of the few benefits. As the capital city, it is also more competitive. In the fierce competition, outstanding teachers and students gathered in Fucheng, just like candidates crossing the river, they gathered in Fuzhou City.
This has also resulted in the recent inns in Fuzhou City being extremely tight, making it difficult to find a room. Many students who came to take the exam complained. This was the case every year during the imperial examination period, and government officials also took to the streets to maintain law and order.
With the arrival of the government examination, many candidates get up in the middle of the night and rush to the examination room.
By the time Li Jie arrived at the examination room, a long queue had already formed outside the examination room, and candidates carrying examination papers obediently accepted the inspection by the government officials.
