Chapter 185
Tao Hechen nodded and said, "The teacher told me that he plans to let me take the county examination at the end of June."

From now to the end of June, there is still more than a month to go, and Zhou Zichen is a little worried: "I heard from my father that you have finished reading the Four Books and Five Classics, and now you are reading history books and philosophers. There is another one Many months, but in time."

Tao Hechen smiled and said: "The teacher said, let me practice my county test first. If I can pass it, I will take the subsequent government test and college test. If I can't pass it, I will try again next year."

There were three examinations for children in the Great Qin Dynasty, which were county examinations, government examinations, and hospital examinations. They were held once a year in June, October, and February of the following year.

The county examination is held in the county seat, and the top 1 candidates are selected in each county examination. No. [-] is the county case leader and can be directly admitted as a scholar. You don't need to take the subsequent government and hospital examinations, you can directly participate in the township examination.

The government examination is held in Fucheng, and the top ten candidates are selected in each government examination. Similarly, No. 1 is the head of the government case, and can be directly admitted as a scholar, and does not need to take the subsequent hospital examination.

Tongsheng who passed the county and government examinations went to the provincial capital to take the college exam in February of the following year. Only 30% of the students were admitted as scholars each year, that is, about [-] students.

Every year in the Great Qin Dynasty, there were only 300-[-] people who were able to pass the examination for scholars. It can be seen that the examination is very strict, so many old children failed to pass the examination for scholars even though they were gray-haired. The competition is too fierce.

Zhou Zichen nodded: "Well, you can really try. I think with your talent, you will definitely be able to pass the examination of scholar in one fell swoop."

"Senior brother praised you." Tao Hechen smiled a little embarrassedly: "I have just started to study, and I still have to learn."

Zhou Zichen nodded affirmatively: "I am very optimistic about you, you will definitely be a scholar."

Tao Hechen cupped his hands with a smile and said, "I've borrowed a good word from senior brother, I will definitely try my best."

"Hahaha!" At this moment, Zhou Muyuan and Zhou Muwen walked in from outside the flower hall, and Zhou Muwen said with a smile, "Ah Chen, don't underestimate yourself. With your reading comprehension, what Zichen said is not unreasonable."

When Tao Hechen saw the two of them, he hurriedly got up and saluted, "I've seen Teacher, I've seen Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Zichen also got up with a smile and said, "Father, uncle."

"En." Zhou Muyuan looked at Tao Hechen with satisfaction in his eyes. Today he specially sent two groups of people to test Tao Hechen, and he was very satisfied with the result of the test. It is a rare thing to know the etiquette and keep the etiquette without being moved by foreign objects.

Especially just now, when he heard that Tao Hechen was going to take the county exam in June, although it was just a small exam for young students, how long had this kid studied?He actually qualified to take the county examination. He knew that his second brother had high requirements for students. From this point of view, this Tao Hechen was really good.

"Sit down, don't be restrained." Zhou Muyuan said to Tao Hechen with a smile: "You are Muwen's student, coming here is like coming to home."

"Thank you Master Zhou." Tao Hechen saluted again, and sat down after seeing Zhou Muwen and Zhou Muyuan were seated.

A few people chatted a few gossips, and Zhou Muwen tested some of Tao Hechen's articles again. Tao Hechen's response made Zhou Muwen and Zhou Muyuan extremely satisfied.

Seeing that it was noon, Zhou Muwen ordered Zhou Sheng to pass the dishes in the kitchen.

During the banquet, Zhou Muyuan asked Tao Hechen some family matters on the sidelines, and he was more satisfied. Without Wuyang Wuyang and his family, his daughter would save a lot of trouble by marrying her.

A few people were chatting, Zhou Ying brought Qingyue over, and Qingyue was carrying a food box in her hand, which contained hangover soup.

"I've seen my father, my second uncle, and my second brother." Zhou Ying turned to Tao Hechen again, with a slightly red face: "I've seen Mr. Tao."

Zhou Zichen smiled at Tao Hechen, "This is my third sister. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you saved her. She has been thinking of thanking you for saving her life."

Zhou Zichen knew his little sister's feelings for Tao Hechen, and he himself felt that if the two could get married, it would be a good talk, so he added fuel to the flames.

"So it's Miss Zhou, Xiaosheng has met Miss Zhou before." Tao Hechen hurriedly returned a salute.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he was only focused on catching thieves. He didn't see Zhou Ying's face clearly, and he just said a few words to Zhou Ying. What impressed me the most was that when he arrived, he clearly felt the determination of this Miss Zhou to die, and was shocked by her stamina.

But when he saw her today, he realized that Miss Zhou was really a natural beauty with picturesque features. He didn't dare to look directly at her, so he hurriedly lowered his head slightly.

Zhou Ying glanced at Tao Hechen secretly, then smiled and said to Zhou Muyuan and Zhou Muwen: "Father, Second Uncle, I know that you are going to drink today, so I specially sent some hangover soup over here, don't you drink too much to drink?" Yes."

Zhou Muyuan didn't know that his daughter was a drunkard who didn't care about drinking. He sighed secretly in his heart, as expected, the girl was not allowed to stay.

Zhou Muwen laughed and said, "This hangover soup is pretty good. If you drink a bowl of hangover soup later, even if you drink a lot, you won't be afraid. Thank you Yinger."

After finishing speaking, he said to Tao Hechen seemingly unintentionally: "My niece is the most well-behaved and sensible."

After hearing what Zhou Muwen said, Zhou Ying couldn't help but pursed her lips into a smile, and then secretly glanced at Tao Hechen.

Zhou Muyuan gave Zhou Ying a false look: "Okay, let's put down the hangover soup."

"Yes, dad." Zhou Ying also knew that she couldn't stay long, so she asked Qingyue to put the hangover soup on the table, and then she left.

Unexpectedly, before he reached his own yard, he was blocked by Mrs. Zhou.

"Mother." Zhou Ying suddenly felt a little guilty, looking around and not daring to look Mrs. Zhou in the eyes.

"You!" Mrs. Zhou didn't understand Zhou Ying's little thoughts, she gently tapped Zhou Ying's forehead: "But did you see someone?"

"Yeah." Zhou Ying pursed her lips with a smile, and another blush appeared on her cheeks.

Mrs. Zhou sighed: "You girl, you are really worrying."

"Mother—" Zhou Ying hugged Mrs. Zhou's arm coquettishly, shook her arms, and pouted again, showing her little daughter's coquettish attitude.

"Okay, your grandmother is looking for you, let's go there." Mrs. Zhou was shaken by Zhou Ying so that she lost her temper, and then she said, the mother and daughter went to Mrs. Zhou's place talking and laughing.

In the flower hall, after Zhou Ying left, Zhou Muyuan coughed lightly, and said to Tao Hechen, "Hechen, I actually invited you here today, one is to save Ying'er for you, and I would like to thank you in person. , On the other hand, you also saw my daughter just now, I intend to recruit you as my son-in-law, are you willing?"
