Chapter 173 Notice
Fat Miao'er sat on Li Xiaodao's shoulder, stretched his neck and looked inside.

I saw something like a modern bulletin board inside, with various notices and portraits of wanted criminals posted on it, and a brand new notice posted in the middle, and people were pointing and discussing.

"Brother, what is written in this notice?"

A man dressed as a peddler asked the middle-aged man beside him.

"I don't know him either. I heard from the yamen servant who left just now, it seems that the government wants to recruit yamen servants." The middle-aged man replied.

At this moment, a well-dressed old man came out and read aloud to the notice: "This county is pre-recruiting five yamen servants, and the registration will start after the notice is issued. The registration period is limited to three days, and the formal assessment will be on the [-]th of the first month. , I hereby issue this notice."

"Oh! That's how it is. This is really a great thing. Once you pass the exam, you will be able to eat official food."

The middle-aged man said.

"I heard that although the government servants in Yulin County don't have much salary, they can earn a lot of money from outsiders. They can say two or three liang of silver a year."

The man dressed as a peddler said.

"Shh! Don't talk nonsense, be careful to spread it to the ears of the yamen servants, and pull you to beat the board."

The middle-aged man looked around and advised the man dressed as a peddler.

"Who's talking nonsense, I deal with those yamen servants who patrol the streets every day, I know what they are like very well."

Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, the middle-aged man stopped talking and turned to leave.

"Hey! Forget it. Without the diamonds, you can't take the porcelain job. This yamen servant is so easy to be. The position has already been determined, and the exam is just a formality."

A man dressed as a peddler walked out of the crowd grumbling.

"Walk around, hurry home and discuss, see if we have a chance."

As soon as the words fell, everyone scattered away, ready to find a way out, to see if they could seize this opportunity.

Fat Miao'er heard what the old man said just now, and didn't take it seriously, but just watched the excitement, because a few of them didn't say they wanted to be government servants.

At this time, Li Xiaodao's expression was a bit complicated, his dark eyes turned around, as if he was thinking about something.

"Brother, do you want to take the exam for this yamen servant?"

Wei Shu saw through Li Xiaodao's thoughts and asked.

"Hmm! I want to try it."

Li Xiaodao nodded heavily and made a decision.

"Brother, won't you go to school with us in the spring?"

Fat Miaoer asked after hearing the words.

"I won't go. I don't like studying. It's enough to be able to read and write. No amount of other knowledge is useless."

Li Xiaodao scratched his head in embarrassment, he really didn't have the talent for writing, he was always the last one to learn the characters taught by Wei Shu.

"Brother, you are still too young, it's not too late to go after two years." Liu Ye'er persuaded.

"Don't worry, I can handle it."

Li Xiaodao said to Liu Ye'er, thinking: In two years, he may not have this chance, even though he is young, but he has learned kung fu from Wu Yong for so long, it is no problem to deal with adults.

Besides, as the eldest brother of the family, he wants to support the family and take on the responsibility of the pillar as soon as possible.

"Brother, I support you!"

Wei Shu patted Li Xiaodao on the shoulder to express his encouragement.

"Brother, I also support you. As long as you work hard, you will succeed. I believe you will pass the exam. Come on!"

Chubby Miao'er clenched her fleshy little hands into fists and waved them in the air.

"I support it!" Liu Ye'er nodded to Li Xiaodao.

Luo Pan didn't speak just now, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing everyone expressing their opinions, he also echoed: "Brother, I also support it."

"Now we can go to Uncle Yong to ask about the situation. He is working in the Yamen, so he must know some news."

The compass eye rolled and suggested.

"Yes, let's go to Uncle Yong to see if he knows the content of the exam, so that we can prepare early and know ourselves and the enemy."

Fat Miao'er affirmed Compass's suggestion and added it.

"Go, go to the county government office."

After listening, Li Xiaodao made a final decision, and the five of them headed towards the county government office.

The five people came to a place 100 meters away from the county government and stopped, because idlers were not allowed to enter the important area of ​​the county government, and pedestrians were not allowed to stop for a long time.

I saw a stone lion on both sides in front of the county government gate, and a horizontal plaque hung on the door, with the four characters of Yulin county government written on it.

There is a pair of couplets engraved on the gateposts on both sides. The upper couplet is for a penny, which is not worth a penny, so it is difficult to deceive officials and soldiers;

There is a grievance drum placed in the fence under the gate, and two yamen servants are guarding it.

The entire yamen gate gives people a sense of solemnity, seriousness, and deep oppression.

"Wait here for a while, I'll call Uncle Yong out."

Li Xiaodao said to the four people, it was too ostentatious and inconvenient for five people to go together.

"it is good!"

The four nodded.

Immediately, Li Xiaodao walked towards the gate of the county government office.

As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by two yamen servants and asked, "Who is it?"

With a smile on his face, Li Xiaodao replied: "Hi, you two officers. My name is Li Xiaodao, and I am Wu Yong's apprentice. I have something urgent to ask him. Please let me know."

"Oh! So it's Brother Yong's apprentice!"

The two put down their guard, and one of the yamen servants said with a smile.

Another yamen servant said: "You wait here, I'll go and call you Brother Yong."

Seeing that the two yamen servants were so polite when they heard Wu Yong's name, Li Xiaodao knew that his master was doing well in the yamen.

After a while, Wu Yong, dressed as a policeman, ran out from inside.

"master!"

Seeing Wu Yong, Li Xiaodao waved.

Hearing the movement, Wu Yong came over and asked, "Xiao Dao, why did you come to the county seat? Did something happen at home?"

Just now when the yamen servant told Wu Yong that Li Xiaodao was looking for him, his heart tightened, thinking that something happened at home, he said hello to Butou Song, and ran out in a hurry.

"Master, don't worry, nothing happened at home. The five of us came to see the lanterns yesterday and didn't go back. We stayed in the county overnight." Li Xiaodao explained.

"Oh, it's fine." Wu Yong breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

"Master, Fat Miao'er and the others are waiting there, shall we go and see them?"

Li Xiaodao pointed to Fat Miao'er and the others in the distance, then glanced at the yamen servant next to him, hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Wu Yong said understandingly: "Let's go, let's go and see Fat Miao'er and the others. We haven't seen each other for several days. It's strange."

After finishing speaking, the two walked in the direction of Fat Miao'er and the others.

"Uncle Yong! I'm here!"

Fat Miao'er yelled at the top of her voice, and bouncing up to meet her.

Wu Yong picked up Fat Miao'er, jolted slightly, and joked: "I haven't seen you for a few days, our little chubby Miao'er is getting fat again."

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Li Xiaodao, and asked, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
