Chapter 53
The county exams in Dazhou are usually held in February, and there are five consecutive exams under the auspices of the county magistrate.

After the first three exams are completed, the list will be released. After the last exam, the names of the candidates on the list will be arranged horizontally.

In Dazhou, starting from the county exam, during the five consecutive exams, you can't come out, and you can only come out of the exam room after five days.

Of course, those who feel unwell during the period, faint, or give up the exam due to various problems are not counted.

For five days in a row, although Gu Ruoyao looked pale, she did not let go of her heart. On the day after the exam, Gu Ruoyao brought vanilla and bamboo knots to the private room closest to the exam room that had been booked early.

Near noon, candidates came out one after another.

"Miss is out!" Xiang Cao shouted excitedly while lying on the window, Gu Ruoyao poked her head out, and saw Lin Ruizhi walking towards the carriage with the support of two schoolboys.

"Let's go too!"

Gu Ruoyao impatiently walked towards another carriage with Vanilla.

She had already told the two bookboys that they would go back directly after receiving their young master, instead of going to the teahouse.

Hot water had already been prepared at home, and Lin Ruizhi fell asleep on the bed before he had time to eat after washing.

The next day, Lin Ruizhi rested for the night and had already regained his energy, so he and Gu Ruoyao came to yesterday's private room.

Brother Chen also followed this time.

Several people waited in the private room for almost an hour.

In the distance, a yamen servant came over with a piece of red paper.

"Come, come, come!"

"Look, look, did you hit it? Did you hit it?"

"Oh, don't squeeze, my shoes are all off."

"Go, go, what does it smell like? You haven't showered for ten days?"

The yamen servants who posted the list were not affected by the audience at all. One of them pasted a layer of rice paste on the wall, and the other quickly pasted the red paper in his hand to the wall.

Before the two yamen servants left, the onlookers rushed over.

"I hit it, I hit it." A middle-aged man in his thirties excitedly pushed his way through the crowd and rushed out.

There are also those who can't find their own name from the beginning to the end, and finally are not reconciled, and start looking for the name again from the beginning.

Lin Ruizhi's two bookboys, Shi Zhu and Liu Hua, immediately saw that their son's name was ranked first.

The two looked back and forth a few times, and after making sure they were right, they quickly got out of the crowd, "I've hit it!" Before entering the door, the two rushed towards the elegant room excitedly.

"Did you really win? What place? What place?" Since leaving Gu's mansion, Xiang Cao's temperament has become much more lively, and she couldn't help asking urgently after hearing the words.

Gu Ruoyao and Lin Ruizhi looked at each other, and they both saw the smile in each other's eyes.

"Number one! Young master's name is ranked first!" Shi Zhu looked at her young master with glowing eyes, No.1!That's the case!

Gu Ruoyao also couldn't help laughing.

Although he had great confidence in Lin Ruizhi and was certain that Lin Ruizhi would be in this meeting, he never expected that Lin Ruizhi would get the case!

Although Lin Ruizhi had great confidence in himself, he still couldn't help but feel excited when he heard that he had got the case. He subconsciously looked at Gu Ruoyao.

"Congratulations to Brother Seventeen, we must celebrate well today." Gu Ruoyao blessed Lin Ruizhi, and was sincerely happy for Lin Ruizhi.

Lin Ruizhi saluted and nodded with a smile.

In the evening, Xiaoyuan made a special table of delicious food, one of which was Lin Ruizhi's favorite dish. Xiaoyuan put a large plate of sauced duck in front of Lin Ruizhi, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Master Biao, who is in high school. I made the duck with extra honey, you can eat more."

Lin Ruizhi thanked with a smile, reached out and picked up the biggest duck leg into Brother Chen's bowl, then took back his chopsticks, "Xiaoyuan's craftsmanship is getting better and better, I will go to Fucheng in a month, when the time comes Will definitely miss this dish.”

The duck made by Xiaoyuan is crispy and delicious, especially a special sauce, which is poured on the sliced ​​duck meat, makes people want to eat it even after eating it.

The county examination is two months after the government examination, and Lin Ruizhi plans to leave one month in advance. After all, apart from the time on the road, he also needs to rent a house again. All these take time, so he plans to leave in another month.

"Master Biao, don't worry, this duck sauce can be kept for a long time after it's done, and I'll let the cook take it with me to make sure you can eat it whenever you want." Xiaoyuan likes to stay in the kitchen the most. Master Biao also recognized her cooking skills very much, so she was naturally very happy.

"Let Madoka go with her when the time comes."

"No, no, no," Lin Ruizhi waved his hands repeatedly, "It's not a good thing to be too greedy. I want to eat the food cooked by Xiaoyuan. I can eat it before I leave or after I come back. It's not bad for a few days."

Gu Ruoyao thought for a while, then nodded.

It's okay not to go.

Next, the most important thing for Brother Seventeen is to pass this test, and then he will be eligible to take the college test. During this time, there is no room for loss.

Although Lin Ruizhi had a month to go before going out, Gu Ruoyao had already started arranging manpower, who to bring to serve, and money was the most important thing when going out.

After much deliberation, Gu Ruoyao was worried, so she sewed several 100 taels of silver bills on the clothes of Lin Ruizhi and the two schoolboys as spares, and then sent Lin Ruizhi away at the beginning of March.

The government test will take another month to start, and the government test will start in April.After the exam, you have to wait five days before the results are released. If you pass the exam, you have to wait for the college exam.

Only after finishing the college examination did he get the title of scholar.

The hospital examination time is in June and July.

In this way, Gu Ruoyao calculated that it would be at least half a year before Lin Ruizhi returned from the college entrance examination.

To say that reading has not been an easy thing since ancient times.

After sending Lin Ruizhi away, Gu Ruoyao took gifts and went to Master Chen Yan.

Once the emperor and the courtiers came, the new county magistrate would naturally have his own master to use. Even if Master Chen was in good health, he would be free.

Gu Ruoyao is going to temporarily ask the master to be Brother Chen's teacher.

Let's not talk about the relationship between Master Chen and Gu Mingru, just take Master Chen's knowledge as an example, it is very good.

Otherwise, Gu Mingru would not have asked him to be his master.

In Gu Ruoyao's view, between knowledge and character, a person's character should be ranked before knowledge.

As far as Huaining is concerned, Master Chen is naturally the No.1 choice that fits Gu Ruoyao's mind.

"Why is Miss Tian going out when it's so cold? If there's something to do, let someone come over and tell me, and the old man can go too." From Master Chen's point of view, Gu Ruoyao saved his own life, so naturally from now on, Gu Ruoyao's life will be different. He is the benefactor of their family, the kind who will never give up!

Not to mention that the year last year was not good, and my son lost his job. It was all under the care of the eldest lady, so that the whole family would not starve to death.

Sister-in-law Liu also thanked the eldest lady who saved her man, and when she saw Gu Ruoyao came to the door, she hurriedly brought hot tea.
