After time travel, I ate glutinous rice bran in ancient times

"I don't know about this. Mr. Hai didn't say anything. You'll know when you get there." Liu Captou smiled.

Wang Yugui suddenly remembered that Mei Changqing and asked hurriedly: "Liu Captou, how is that Mei Changqing?"

"Mei Changqing? Oh, that boy really couldn't resist beatings. The yamen servant only hit him ten times that day, and he fainted while screaming." Liu Captou smiled.

Wang Yugui also laughed: "Haha, he is so inexperienced? Then we should hit him ten times?"

"Isn't that too advantageous for him? Master Hai has made a decision. Who dares to change it?"

"He woke up after pouring cold water on him. He will continue to hit ten big boards. There are still twenty boards left. We will wait until he recovers from his injuries!" Liu Captou said.

Wang Yugui asked hurriedly: "Is he really Mr. Lu's nephew?"

"That's true, but actually it's not the case," Liu Captou smiled.

Wang Yugui asked: "How to say it?"

"Hey, Yuan Lu has a sister who is married to the Mei family in Huaizhou Prefecture."

"When Mr. Lu was still alive, he loved his eldest daughter very much. Because Miss Lu loved to listen to operas, Mr. Lu gave the theater to Miss Lu as a dowry."

"Mei Changqing is the cousin of Miss Lu's husband. This guy has no other hobbies. He just likes to listen to operas and hangs out among the actors all day long."

"So Miss Lu gave him the responsibility of managing the theater."

"Before, Mei Changqing took care of things quite well, but I didn't expect that she would have other ideas regarding He Yueqing and Shen Xiaolou!"

"Hey, he deserves to be unlucky. If the former magistrate had dealt with this matter and spent some money to deal with it, at most it would have been settled," Liu Captou said.

Wang Yugui asked hurriedly: "Then Mei Changqing was beaten by Haizhi County, will he definitely go to Yuan Lu to file a complaint?"

"Haha, that's natural. It would be better if that kid didn't go. I heard that he went to the Lu Mansion and was taught a lesson by Yuanwai Lu!"

"Let him go back to Huaizhou to recuperate. That kid won't be able to return to Wangtian County for a while," Liu Captou said with a smile.

Wang Yugui asked again: "Did He Yueqing and Shen Xiaolou leave Wangtian County?"

"Leave. They left the city on the same day they finished their business. We have government officials who watched them leave the city before coming back," Liu Captou said

Wang Yugui nodded, thinking to himself, Haizhi County's execution ability is really impressive!

The two talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the Yamen.

Wang Yugui met Haizhi County and saluted.

Haizhi County looked at Wang Yugui and asked, "Painter Xiao Wang, how was your article?"

Wang Yugui was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Haizhi County to ask him this. He thought about it and said, "I think the writing is pretty good!"

Haizhi County smiled: "Painter Xiao Wang, the county will hold a county examination on the 20th of next month. Do you want to take part?"

Wang Yugui was stunned again. He didn't expect that Haizhi County would also care about his exam. He smiled and said, "Master Hai, to be honest, I want to take the exam."

"However, my handwriting is not very good, so I am a little worried!"

"Haha, I also heard He Xiancheng talk about whether you can read or write." Haizhixian smiled.

Then he said: "However, Painter Xiao Wang, I saw in this county the map of the underground palace that you helped draw last time. The words on it were quite well marked!"

Wang Yugui smiled: "Sir, I was trying to imitate a cat and draw a tiger. Of course I can draw it well!"

"It's just that when I write an article alone, sometimes some words appear to be missing arms and legs. In fact, it can be understood. I just simplified the words, hehe."

"However, it's much better now. I practice calligraphy at home every day!"

"Well, that's very good." Haizhi County nodded, looked at Wang Yugui and said, "Painter Wang, this county thinks you are very smart, have an excellent memory, and are good at thinking and speaking. You might as well take the test."

"The county exam is easy to take. If you want to take the exam, the county can talk to Mr. Sun and ask him to help you register!"

When Wang Yugui heard this, he was overjoyed, that's great. Originally, he was hesitant about how to ask Old Master Sun to sign up for him!

He hurriedly thanked me and said, "That's what I asked for. Thank you so much, sir!"

"Haha, Painter Xiao Wang, you don't have to be polite, this county also loves talents." Haizhixian said, and took out two more books and handed them to Wang Yugui: "Painter Xiao Wang, these two books are from the county examination and government examination in previous years. , articles written by top students”

"Take it back and look at it more and study more. With your intelligence, you should be able to understand the truth behind it."

"Actually, there is a path to the mountain of books. If you read more, watch more and write more, you will naturally master it!"

Wang Yugui was very moved. After taking the two books, he respectfully bowed to Master Hai: "Thank you for your teaching!"

"Ha, Mr. Wang, you don't have to be polite. I'm ashamed to say that I'm not a good test taker in this county. I've failed the exam many times. I won the exam when I was 40 years old. I don't have much capital to teach others." Hai The magistrate smiled to himself

Wang Yugui said hurriedly: "Master Hai, you are too modest. You are a late bloomer, and you are really a role model for our generation of poor students!"

"Hey, Painter Xiao Wang, I can't say that I'm a role model. However, this county knows that it's not easy to come from a poor family."

"Painter Xiao Wang, you can be considered a prodigy from a humble family. Considering your family background, it is miraculous that you can have such painting skills. It would be even better if you could have another fame and fame..." Haizhi County taught him again.

……

When Wang Yugui left the Yamen, he pinched himself hard to make sure he was not dreaming.

He never imagined that he, who was despised by Master Sun and looked down upon by Master Tan, would be so appreciated and supported by Haizhi County!

The next day, a notice was posted in the yamen informing students about the registration for the county examination.

Wang Yugui prepared the registration materials, went to see Old Master Sun, and registered quickly and smoothly.

Wang Yugui carefully read and studied the two books given to him by Haizhi County.

These two books are full of sample essays, so you need to read them carefully and memorize them by heart.

Wang Yugui thought about it, even if he copied the gourd, it would probably be no problem to become a boy student.

His biggest problem now is writing. He feels that traditional Chinese characters are more difficult to remember than English words, and he often accidentally writes them in simplified Chinese characters.

Even in the correspondence with Ms. Tan, many simplified Chinese characters are often included unconsciously.

Every time, Miss Tan helped him circle out and asked him to correct it.

Strangely enough, as long as it was a word that Miss Tan corrected for him, he would remember it right away...

The two of them would also write letters to discuss article writing. Sometimes they would also write an article each using topics from previous years to compete with each other...

In the blink of an eye, it was February 20th, the county examination started, and brothers Wang Yugui and Chunsheng entered the examination room together.

Opening the test paper and reading the test questions, Wang Yugui felt that it was very similar to a question from previous years.

As for that question, he happened to discuss it with Miss Tan, and they both wrote an article on it.

So Wang Yugui took the essence of the two articles written by him and Miss Tan, reorganized the sentences, and wrote the first exam-oriented article eloquently.

The first exam was successfully completed, and Wang Yugui also completed the next three exams satisfactorily.
