Chapter 35
(Please collect, please recommend tickets!)

Although he had already been mentally prepared, when Xie Shen heard the news with his own ears, his heart still throbbed.

The county trial leader, the county trial leader!
He really got the first place in the county examination in Yuyao, where there are many scholars!
If there is no accident, this is equivalent to guaranteeing the fame of a scholar, which is definitely something worth celebrating for Xie Shen.

"This is Xie Shenxie Xiaolang, congratulations!"

The man from the yamen who came to announce the good news cupped his hands at Xie Shen and said with a smile on his face.

According to the rules, Xie Shen wanted to reward the yamen servant who announced the good news.

After "Story of the Stone" became popular, the situation of the Xie family has been greatly improved, and there is no shortage of money to spend.Xie Shen obviously didn't intend to save money on this kind of thing, so he took out some scraps of silver from his body and handed them to the gentleman.

What the gentleman is waiting for is money, so he is naturally happy to see Xie Shen being so up-to-date.

He quickly took the money and put it into the purse, and said happily: "Thank you, Chief, for preparing well, and I will go to the county school in the afternoon to thank the Elder."

"Thank you sir!"

Tolerance, who delivered the letter of good news, thought that Xie Shen was a child from a poor family and would not be able to spend much money, who would have thought that he would be so generous.

He left Xie's house very satisfied, squeezed away the onlookers, got on his horse, and returned to the direction of the county government.

"Your Majesty is gone, come out!"

As soon as Xie Fang finished speaking, Xie Chen walked out quickly, stepped forward and grabbed Xie Shen's hand and said, "Xiao Lang got the top case, I'm not dreaming."

Maybe it was too excited, Xie Shen's hands hurt from Xie Chen's grip.The boy grinned and said with a mocking smile: "Sister-in-law, let go, I can't take it anymore."

Xie Chen hurriedly let go of her hands and smiled awkwardly.

Although she is a woman, her vise-like hands are covered with calluses because she has been doing housework all the time, and she is no different from a man.

Xie Shen rubbed his palms and said lightly: "If my sister-in-law exerts a little more strength, my hands will definitely be broken."

These words frightened Xie Fang. He glared at Xie Chen angrily and said, "Women have long hair but short knowledge. Xiao Lang is going to be a Jinshi master. If you pinched his hand, how can he continue to take the exam?" .”

"Isn't the slave family happy for a while, Xiao Lang, don't blame your sister-in-law."

Xie Shen said with a smile: "How come, now my hands don't hurt anymore."

Xie Fang seemed to have thought of something, and slapped his head violently.

"Xiao Lang, you can't wear this dress when you go to thank the county magistrate in the afternoon. Last time you left the money at home, I asked Shui Yun to make you a set of satin clothes, just to wait for you to get fame. Now you are The magistrate of the county ordered the head of the case, this fame is gone, why not change it today."

Xie Shen shook his head and said, "It's not necessary, I'll just wear this commoner."

"How can I do that!" Xie Fang raised his eyebrows and said sharply, "You are the head of the county examination case, and your knowledge is the best. Naturally, you can't be compared in this dress. Otherwise, not only will you lose face, but the county magistrate will also lose face." No face. After all, he hand-picked your case."

Xie Shen thought about it carefully and felt that it did make some sense, then nodded and said: "Then listen to the elder brother."

"Eat quickly, I will accompany you to the county school after eating!"

Xie Fang was in a good mood, although it was not easy to pull Xie Shen up all these years, but at this moment he felt that everything he had done was worth it.

My Xiaolang got the first case, who would dare to look down upon them in the neighborhood?
After lunch, Xie Shen and his eldest brother Xie Fang went out of the house together after changing into a brand new lake-blue thong.

Only the best students in the county are admitted to the county school, and only the best of them can take the provincial examination.Although Xie Shen has won the first place in the county examination, he has not obtained the title of scholar, that is to say, he is not even qualified to study in the county!
The reason why County Magistrate Wu chose to meet the students who passed the county examination at the county school was probably also to encourage them to continue to work hard, to perform well in the government examination and the college examination, and to win the reputation of Yuyao.

In fact, County Magistrate Wu should also know that only a small part of these students can finally get the title of scholar.But the gesture that should be done is still to be done, even if the interview seems very boring.

Before coming to the county school, Xie Fang naturally couldn't go in.

Xie Shen tightened his belt, and couldn't help frowning.The newly made clothes are a little too loose, Xie Shen's thin body can't hold it up, the whole robe seems to be directly covering the boy's body.

But right now he can only make do with it, he can't go back and change a suit that fits him.

After entering the county school, Xie Shen discovered that dozens of students were already waiting in the yard of the main hall.

These should be the students who passed the county examination. Xie Shen looked around but did not see Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi.

With the knowledge of the two of them, it is still very simple to try to be on the list, it can't be because of a hangover.

When Xie Shen was worried about the two, Xie Pi and Wang Shouwen stumbled in, panting heavily.

"Brother Shenxian, you are one step ahead of us. If you fall asleep and miss thanking the magistrate, you will be severely punished by my father."

Xie Pi drooped his head and said quietly.

Although the county examination has already released the results, everything is settled.But if the two have a reputation of disrespecting the county magistrate, they can also be directly removed.

"Just catch up."

Xie Shen also breathed a sigh of relief seeing the two of them rushing over.

At this moment, an academic officer said loudly: "Is everything here?"

A yamen servant respectfully bowed to the school official and said, "My lord, except for Sun Ruoxu, the eldest son of the Zhuhu Sun family who cannot come because of illness, the rest of the students on the list have already arrived."

Hearing this, the academic officer snorted coldly and said, "It's just the last one on the list, so there are so many things. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether he comes or not. Go invite the county lord!"

The yamen servant obeyed and took the order and left.

Not long after, Wu Youfu, the magistrate of Yuyao County in casual clothes, came to the courtyard with square steps.

He glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "You are all the students who are on the list in this county examination. You should bear in mind the teachings of the sages, respect your teachers, study hard, and do your best to prepare for the next government examination."

County magistrate Wu said a lot of official words to persuade students, which meant nothing more than telling these students to work hard and not to be complacent just because they got in the county examination.Be humble and motivated, and strive to achieve good results in the next government test.

"Xie Shen, you come with this county."

Xie Shen listened drowsily, but vaguely felt that someone was calling his name.It wasn't until Wang Shouwen patted him on the shoulder that the boy realized that it was Magistrate Wu calling his name!

"Students obey!"

Xie Shen had already woken up after a jolt, and followed County Magistrate Wu into the main hall of the county school with small steps!
