take a little man

, On the contrary, it gave people a sense of strolling in the courtyard. Thinking that Mr. Gu was full of praise for him, he took it for granted.

Li Ming was really overjoyed. As soon as they walked out, they saw Li Jin and his party. Li Ming immediately rushed into Li Jin's arms, "Daddy, my brother was escorted by the magistrate."

One sentence stirred up thousands of waves, and Li Jin hugged Brother Chen happily, and kissed him hard, "I just said that Brother Chen must be fine."

Brother Chen's face flushed suddenly, "Uncle."

Mrs. Wang was also waiting here. Hearing this, his old face was beaming with joy, "Not bad, good performance, maybe you can get the top case in the government examination." The only thing he was afraid of was that Brother Chen was young. He would be flustered in the examination room. Seeing that he was escorted in one fell swoop, he must have performed well, and his worries were completely gone at the moment.

People around looked at them like idiots.

There was an old boy who was waiting for his grandson, and he couldn't straighten up when he heard the words and laughed, "This family is so funny, are you still recommended? How many times has my eldest grandson passed the exam, and he can be recommended as a baby?! Ha ha!"

Li Ming couldn't help staring, "My brother is so good, what's wrong with being escorted?"

Brother Chen tugged on his sleeve.

The author has something to say:

Please praise Brother Chen!mwah

19. I'm leaving home!

Although Brother Chen didn't have to take the exam, Li Ming and Li Yu still had to continue to take it. Brother Chen stayed in the small courtyard, read books every day, practiced calligraphy, and didn't have to wake up early to take the exam late at night. Li Yu was jealous.

The County Examination of the Great Xia Dynasty only needed four exams, and the candidates in Zhuxi Village who had finished the fourth exam were eliminated except for Li Ming, Li Yu and Wang Rui.

Originally, they didn't have much hope, but when they saw that Brother Chen was favored by the county magistrate, they were envious and proud at the same time.

Three or four days later, everyone knew that there was a young boy in Zhuxi Village who was recommended by the county magistrate because of his good writing. Naturally, some people were not convinced, and felt that there was something tricky in what he said.It wasn't until the magistrate of the county posted the articles of the top twenty students and saw the articles written by Brother Chen that these people shut up.

Wang Rui ranked [-]th. He is usually quite steady, and his articles are well-regulated. He is not too brilliant, but he is not much worse than others. Master Wang patted him on the shoulder and praised him rarely.

Although Li Yu passed the county examination, his ranking was not very high. Even Wang Rui's article was posted, but his had no chance to be on the list. After reading Brother Chen's article, his face became paler up.

Mrs. Wang sighed and said nothing. Li Yu had a good memory and worked hard in his studies. The only pity was that he was narrow-minded and cared too much about gains and losses, and his character needed to be tempered.

After the results were released, they returned to Zhuxi Village. Before the people arrived, the people who announced the good news had already arrived in Zhuxi Village. When they heard the good news with gongs and drums, the village exploded.

"Who won? It must be Brother Chen?"

Li Yu's grandma knew that today's list was released, and had been watching at the entrance of the village. Hearing this, she immediately answered, "Brother Chen is only a little older! It must be my grandson, Li Yu!"

She grabbed the yamen servant's arm excitedly, "Master Guan, did my grandson win? Is it Li Yu?"

The person who announced the good news only reported the top five, and had never heard of Li Yu's name at all. Seeing her grabbing her and not letting go, she couldn't help but frowned, "No, no, where is the old lady from? Don't delay my master's time." Business."

Hearing that it wasn't Li Yu, Grandma Li almost sat down on the ground, her whole body lost her mind, "Did you miss it? How could you miss it? My grandson is obviously better than Brother Chen!"

Fearing that she would say something unpleasant again, Li Yu's mother quickly covered her mouth, feeling equally uncomfortable in her heart.How could their Li Yu miss?Must be wrong, right?She wanted to ask again, but Li Zheng just rushed over.

Li Zheng glared at them. He had always had prestige in Zhuxi Village. Grandma Li and his mother Li Yu shrank their heads and hid aside.

Li Zheng greeted him enthusiastically.

The yamen servants also wanted to establish a good relationship with them, and the atmosphere was very good when they came and went.

Knowing that Brother Chen has won the case, Li Zheng's old face suddenly burst into joy. What does it mean for a 13-year-old case?It means that brother Chen will be a scholar at worst in the future!He is young, everything is possible, and Zhuxi Village will soon have an official again. Of course, he has a bright face as Li, and when he walks, he feels that his feet have a lot of energy, and he can't wait to fly To Brother Chen's house.

After Li Jin and the others came back, Zhuxi Village was in a state of excitement again. It was nothing more than a case. In a small Zhuxi Village, four people passed the county test. Li Ming never thought that he could pass the county test. , also very happy.

Along the way, the children received countless compliments, especially Brother Chen, he was a little embarrassed to be praised, his fair little face was full of embarrassment, and Li Jin couldn't help laughing at it.

The aunts and aunts rushed out to congratulate them when they learned that they had come back. They saw more and more people surrounding Brother Chen. The little fox was digging a hole on the ground impatiently, and his paws were covered with soil in a short while. Wipe it on someone's leg.

It was small, and no one noticed its existence.Not long after, the person whose legs were smeared accidentally fell into the pit. Even if he gnawed a mouthful of dirt, he would be happy. Brother Chen did so well in the exam, and their Zhuxi Village will become famous again. Not to mention, the young men in their village are definitely easier to marry than other villages.

They have to pick and choose.

Everyone's face was filled with joy, seeing Brother Chen surrounded by stars, Li Yu was very depressed.He held his breath in his heart, and even swore secretly that the government examination must be done well, and he couldn't let Brother Chen show off the limelight every time.

In the evening, Li Wan cooked a large table of dishes, and the family ate a lively meal around the table.

After the county examination, there are government examinations and hospital examinations. Many people were eliminated in each examination. Li Ming, Wang Rui and Li Yu were all eliminated in the courtyard examination. There are three more children.

Li Ming and Wang Rui didn't think about being a scholar at all, and they didn't feel sad after being dismissed.

Li Yu was having a hard time accepting the reality.

After the list was released, Li Yu was a little confused when he found that his name was not on the list. What shocked him even more was that the No.1 in the college examination was actually brother Chen!He didn't believe it, how could he rank first among so many scholars? !

He was naturally not the only one who was shocked.

The news that Brother Chen won the three cases in one fell swoop caused a sensation in Jinlin City.

A young scholar who was only 13 years old, not to mention that Jin Lincheng was rare, there were only a few in the entire Great Xia Dynasty!In just a few days, the eight generations of Chen Geer's ancestors were excavated. His grandfather Li Zhan did a lot of practical things for the people in the years when he was an official. Some people still remember him and found that Chen Geer turned out to be Li Zhan Many people are full of affection for this young man.

In addition to some good remarks, there are also bad ones. He took three cases in a row and was hated by many people. Some people even attacked him with the death of Mrs. Zhao.Said that his grandma passed away, and he still went to the exam as if nothing happened, and he didn't even keep his filial piety, so what if he was good at studying and learning?He couldn't even pass the level of single personality, and some people even asked to deprive him of his qualifications as a scholar. In the end, the county magistrate posted a contract that he had severed ties with the Zhao family, and some people shut up angrily.

While the outside world was making a fuss, Lushan Academy sent an invitation to Brother Chen.

Lushan Academy is one of the three major academies in the Great Xia Dynasty. It was first built in the former dynasty and has been passed down for 1000 years. The collection of books in the courtyard is said to be more than that of the imperial palace.It is precisely for this reason that Lushan Academy can be said to be the holy place for students to study.

Brother Chen was stunned when he received the invitation. The academy only enrolls students once every three years, and it just recruited last year. It stands to reason that there will be no enrollment this year, but he actually received the invitation.

Brother Chen loves to read. Thinking of the collection of books in Lushan Academy, his little face flushed with excitement. He rubbed his eyes again and again, with a rare childish look, "Mother, uncle, am I really invited?"

Li Jin couldn't stop laughing, pinched his little face, "Of course it's true, I've never seen you so happy when you got selected as a scholar."

Brother Chen dodged in embarrassment, his little face still flushed red.

The reason why the academy makes an exception to enroll students is actually related to Mr. Gu.

Mr. Gu is the grand tutor of the current emperor, and he was also the dean of Lushan Academy. Although he has resigned and retired, he still has great influence. Li Jin and his grandson Gu Ziyu are close friends, and Brother Chen has also been to Gu's house , Mr. Gu once taught him, he has always liked Brother Chen very much, if it wasn't for his age, he would have wanted to teach him himself.

The old man has a heart of love for talents, and seeing that Brother Chen won three cases in a row, he is proud of him. When he wrote a letter to his junior, he praised him intentionally or unintentionally. His junior is the current dean of Lushan Academy. I couldn't help but let people take Brother Chen's article and read it, and then there was an exception to the invitation.

Thinking that going to the academy meant leaving home, brother Chen's excitement dissipated a little.

But he had to leave home. The little boy in red in his dream appeared in a strange academy. He dreamed that he was wearing a long gown like other students. Always dream about him.

Brother Chen was distracted, but the little fox jumped into his arms, making it clear that he didn't want Li Jin to pinch him.

Li Jin clicked his tongue and knocked the little fox on the head. Due to his status as an elder, the little fox could not bite or scratch, so he could only stare at him angrily.

"Wait
