Once the year passes, it will be the new year.

Tang Li’s biggest thing now is that Dabao and Xu Jue are going to participate in the county examination.

The county examination is the first step in the imperial examination. Only when the county examination is passed will be a child, and then you can participate in the next palace examination. After the government examination, you will be a scholar, and then you will be a juren. You will be qualified to participate in the palace examination!

If you pass the county examination, you can enter the county school, which is an official school. If you can enter the official school, you can bring glory to the entire family! It is particularly respectful in this small town!

Although Tang Li knew that Xu Jue and Dabao had the strength of the future prime minister, she still attached great importance to this matter.

Which parent does not pay attention to their children's academic performance?

Before the county examination, Tang Li went to meet Dean Guo.

Dean Guo handed over the two letters of recommendation to Tang Li.

"Xu Jue and Dabao can take this recommendation letter to participate in the county examination." President Guo said.

Tang Li knew that if she wanted to participate in the county examination, she asked each academies to issue recommendation letters, and each academies had a limited number of places. It is said that Hongwen Academy had only three places, and two of them gave them to the two children.

"Thank you, President Guo." Tang Li said.

Tang Li is sincerely thanked.

Children are talented, but they do not have the knowledge of the chief minister at birth. They need many powerful teachers to teach them little by little.

This master was the first teacher in Xu Jue and Dabao's study career, and he taught them all. Although he didn't teach them much later, his knowledge was really limited and he had no choice.

"Madam Wei, I had a dream last night that Xu Jue and Dabao both took the top ten in the county exam!" Dean Guo said excitedly.

You know, their Hongwen Academy has not been admitted to the county school for four or five years.

If he scored two of the top ten in one breath, he would be proud!

President Guo was so happy that he quickly called his wife, shared the good news, and then...

His face was swollen.

Only then did he realize that it was a dream.

Very disappointed.

However, Dean Guo is still very confident about these two children. He has never taught such a smart child!

"Director Guo, you are not doing this dream very accurately." Tang Li said.

President Guo was stunned for a moment. Did Mrs. Wei disagreed with what she said? I think those two kids are not good?

Although Mrs. Wei is the elder of the two children, Dean Guo is still not very happy. Dean Guo protects his shortcomings and does not like someone to doubt the strength of their students, and the children's parents are not good either.

"Dabao and Xu Jue must be the first and second." Tang Li said.

Dean Guo was stunned for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses, and laughed 'haha'.

He loves to hear Mrs. Wei’s words!

Yes, he has done this dream too conservatively, Dabao and Xu Jue must be among the top three!

If the first and second place are in his academy, it will definitely make his old classmates look at him with admiration.

Dean Guo thought about it and felt very happy.

President Guo introduced the situation and precautions of the county examination to Tang Li, and Tang Li wrote down one by one.

After chatting with Dean Guo, Tang Li went out.

Outside the door, there was a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old waiting there. The boy was washed white and covered in patches, and he was elegant and elegant.

Tang Li remembered that he was a classmate of Dabao and Xu Jue. Sometimes when he came to the academy, he would see them discussing studies together, and it seemed that he was called Zhuo Shu.

Tang Li smiled at him, and the boy responded quickly, his face turned red and a little shy.

After Tang Li left, the young man entered the door and called respectfully at Dean Guo: "Teacher."

Dean Guo nodded: "Zhuo Shu, what's the matter?"

"Teacher, I want..." Zhuo Shu was a little unspeakable, his fair face turned red, and he gritted his teeth, and said, "Teacher, I want to participate in this county examination. Can you give me a chance..."

Zhuo Shu knew that there were only three places in the academy to participate in the county examination.

The Master has to carefully select who each place is given to, because the results of the county examination are related to the reputation of the academy.

He has wasted three quotas for county examinations.

But he was unwilling to accept...

He wants to try again!

Dean Guo looked at Zhuo Shu with regretful eyes.

"Zhuo Shu, you and Qi Yaowen were my proudest two students..."

Speaking of which, these two students were all his pride, but one of them received a letter of recommendation from other academies when they were about to take the exam. After passing the exam, their reputation belonged to other academies, but the other failed for three years...

The former made him angry, while the latter made him regret.

He didn't know what happened to Zhuo Shu. He obviously performed very well in daily life, so why did he become like this when he was in the county examination?

President Guo's words made Zhuo Shu feel ashamed.

He is ashamed of Master Guo!

"Teacher, give me another chance. This is the last time. If I fail this time, I will go home to learn craftsmanship." Zhuo Shu said.

Zhuo Shu felt that Dean Guo would definitely not give him the recommendation letter. In fact, it is understandable that if he was Dean Guo, he would not have wasted the quota on a waste!

Dean Guo opened the cabinet and took out a letter from it.

"Actually, I have prepared this third letter for you, Zhuo Shu." Dean Guo spoke.

Zhuo Shu suddenly raised her head and looked at Dean Guo in disbelief.

"Teacher..." His eyes were wide open, and something shiny inside was sliding, very excited.

Dean, is he willing to believe him again?

"Take it, this time, I believe you will definitely pass the exam and bring honor to our academy!" said Dean Guo.

Zhuo Shu took the letter and protected him in his arms, tightly.

He will definitely pass the exam for this last chance and live up to the Master's expectations!

...

Time flies.

It's the end of January in a blink of an eye.

The county trial is in early February, so you need to go and check it out in advance.

Therefore, Tang Li packed up her things and took Dabao, Xu Jue, Erbao and Sanbao, the protagonists of this county trial, to set off together to Hedong County, leaving Aunt Zhao to stay at home to visit the house.

This county examination is extremely important for Dabao and Xu Jue.

This is their first big test in life.

Both of them put in full force.

Xu Jue first followed his father's last words and wanted to shine his family, and secondly, he was to repay his sister. Dabao thought about making his parents proud of him, becoming the backer of his parents and younger brothers and sisters, and protecting the family!

Both children are ambitious!

Therefore, when they got on the carriage, both of them were still reading books.

Erbao usually has a small mouth, but at this time he shuts his mouth and knows not to bother his two brothers.

The three treasures were nestled obediently in Tang Li's arms.

"Dabao, Xu Jue, the county trial is approaching. You can relax and stop reading. Your eyes are tired, so look at the scene outside." Tang Li looked at the two young boys holding the book and said.

In the future, the prime minister is worried about what county trial? Don’t look at both eyes when reading books.

Only then did the two children put down the book and lifted the curtains to see the scene outside.

"Xu Jue, look, is that Zhuo Shu?" said Dabao.

Xu Jue followed Dabao's finger and looked at it, it was true!

I saw Zhuo Shu carrying a shabby bookcase and carrying a big sun, walking forward step by step. Could he be walking to Hedong County?!
