Afraid of making too much noise, Shen Zechuan hid Yue'er under the quilt. This ancient woman was most afraid of losing her innocence and being caught gossiping.

"Yue'er, is something wrong?"

"No, luckily you came in time, Brother Shen."

Zhang Ergou, who was paralyzed on the ground, gritted his teeth in pain and rolled in a pool of blood.

"Zhang Ergou, this is the retribution you deserve. How dare you touch Miss Xue family! Just go to the Yamen!"

When Zhong Er caught up, he was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.

"Mr. Shen, Miss?"

Zhong Er instantly understood what was going on and knelt down to thank Shen Zechuan.

This matter is her responsibility. Fortunately, the lady is fine, otherwise she would not be able to survive!

Zhang Ergou rubbed on the ground, held onto the wall, and held his own lifeblood, his lips turning black.

"Zhong'er, send it to the government."

Shen Zechuan took off his long gown, wearing only a single coat, and the cool breeze blew into his clothes.

"Yueer, please wear this first."

"Mr. Shen, this is related to the reputation of the young lady. This... I can't make the decision."

Shen Zechuan gritted his teeth and couldn't bear to be cruel. Yue'er was still young and she couldn't be burdened with rumors.

There is no way that Ergou can do all kinds of evil, so this should be the best way.

Shen Zechuan approached Zhang Ergou, leaned down, picked up his ear and said.

"This is the first time. Next time, it won't be so simple."

Zhang Ergou shrank his legs, and a yellow puddle appeared on the ground, emitting a strong odor.

He really didn't expect to be so strong as Shen Zechuan. Wasn't he a weak scholar before? He actually seemed to have changed into a different person.

Zhong'er helped Yue'er go downstairs, but Yue'er was still a little frightened and was floating when she walked.

Because the movement was too loud and attracted the attention of many people, Shen Zechuan took out some broken silver from the space and sprinkled it down from the second floor.

In an instant, there was a chaos upstairs and downstairs, everyone was scrambling to pick up the pieces of silver.

In the chaos, Yue'er and Zhong'er were taken out of the restaurant.

Returning to Xue Mansion, Yue'er chose not to let his father know about this matter. Mr. Xue was weak and sick, so this was not exciting.

"Brother Shen, thank you today. If it weren't for you, I, I would..."

Yue'er couldn't stop crying, her usual domineering demeanor was gone, and her eyes showed exhaustion.

"Brother Shen, do you dislike a woman like me? He didn't meet me, I..."

"It's not your fault. Besides, nothing happened. Get some rest, Yue'er."

Shen Zechuan somewhat understood the harmful effects of feudal ethics, and set rules for women everywhere, and they must comply with these requirements.

"Ms. sir, are you back? What's going on?"

Su Qiu trotted over after hearing the sound, with some lather made from soap locust in her hands.

Shen Zechuan wiped Su Qiu's hand on his trouser leg and smiled.

"It's okay. Yue'er accidentally fell into the mud outside and her clothes are dirty. I asked her to change into my gown."

"It's too cold today. Don't get cold. It's the same for Yue'er. Go back to the house and rest."

When Yue'er left, she whispered thank you beside Shen Zechuan, thanking him for keeping the secret for her.

"Ms. sir, the results will be released today. Did you see it when you came back?"

Shen Zechuan came back in a hurry, but he did see many people gathered in one place. Is today the day to release the results? Logically speaking, it would take two or three days.

"So fast?"

"Yes, but we summoned all the academy teachers to review the papers and reviewed them overnight. I heard that Master Xue and your master were both recruited."

"Yeah."

No wonder Mr. Xue got up so late today, and to some extent he avoided knowing about it. Shen Zechuan entered the house and changed into clean clothes.

"Let's go, madam."

The bulletin board was crowded with people. Shen Zechuan finally squeezed in and saw his name at a glance.

The method of announcing the results of the county examination is very special. The names of the candidates in each group of 50 are written in a ring shape on a large piece of paper, and ranked according to the scale of the clock.

In the direction of 12 o'clock, the name of the first place is written, and this person is Shen Zechuan.

"Ms. sir! First place!"

Su Qiu jumped up happily, holding Shen Zechuan's hand and shaking it up and down happily.

The people next to him became restless and looked at Shen Zechuan.

"That's that divine man. I heard he wrote five pages in just one cup of tea!"

"This is so awesome! This year's questions are so difficult, I guess! This person must have won three yuan in a row!"

Hearing these compliments, Shen Zechuan felt embarrassed. After all, he had the space to answer so quickly.

"That's awesome, Mr. Xian."

Su Qiu suddenly thought of something and frowned.

"Then Miss Li's family."

"Madam, don't worry too much."

Su Qiu nodded, but her heart was still empty.

"Brother Shen, Brother Shen!"

Someone in the crowd stretched out his hand high and suddenly jumped up, revealing half of his face.

When Shen Zechuan heard this familiar voice, he knew who it was, Fang Xiaoteng.

"Brother Shen, help me take a look, I can't squeeze in!"

Shen Zechuan glanced and saw that this kid was lucky and happened to be stuck in the last place, next to his name.

"Yes, there is your name."

Shen Zechuan shouted towards where Fang Xiaoteng was standing.

"Thank you, Brother Shen!"

Before he could finish his words, Fang Xiaoteng was squeezed away.

"Oops! Help!"

Shen Zechuan was pushed aside, a big hole opened in the middle of the crowd, and a person seemed to be lying on the ground.

When he walked in and took a look, Shen Zechuan was stunned. The person lying twitching on the ground was a veteran candidate for the Five Children Joint Insurance Program at that time.

The old examinee shouted "It's done, it's done!".

Shen Zechuan was about to go up to check the situation, but before he could go up, he was pushed away by something.

"It's so embarrassing! You're so old!"

The old examinee was pushed to the ground by an old woman and slapped down twice. The old examinee woke up.

"Madam, I passed the exam!"

"Not awake yet?"

The old woman slapped her twice again, and finally knocked the old examinee unconscious.

Shen Zechuan lamented that it is not easy for people in this world, and it is quite difficult for ordinary people to get ahead.

"Madam, would you do this?"

Shen Zechuan wanted to tease Su Qiu.

"How could that be! How could I bear to hit you!"

Su Qiu raised her fist and hit Shen Zechuan's chest twice, as if scratching an itch.

"Silly lady."

"Silly husband!"

Su Qiu realized something, covered her mouth, and blinked her eyes in disbelief.

"It's true that I was stupid. I was stupid enough to take first place in the exam, which made you jealous."

"I'm not jealous..."

Yeah?

Shen Zechuan was in a good mood. After winning the first place in the county examination, as long as he didn't do anything extraordinary, he would usually be able to pass the subsequent examinations.

Because the magistrate would usually let them pass in order not to lose his face.

Tomorrow is the second exam, and the number of people who will be eliminated will be smaller and smaller.
