"Brother, brother!"

Since there is no fixed place for the county test, the word locked in the courtyard cannot be discussed. In addition, since the examiners are not designated temporarily, but are made public to everyone in the world, the fraud in the trial is much lighter than in later generations. On the contrary, there is a meaningful confrontation outside the trial. Therefore, after one or two exams that day, all the candidates were put home and the last one the next day. Despite this, two days were still extremely tiring. This is because Du Shiyi has been practicing every day for more than three years, otherwise he would have sat on the hard single seat to answer questions all day long, and his waist would have been unable to hold on. In the next few days, he first restored his energy and rested for several days, and took Du Shisanniang to the Qianbao Pavilion, which is now crowded with people, and naturally he was a guest of honor.

Early this morning, he was awakened by the waves of shaking. When he opened his eyes, he found that the sky was not yet bright. His tone was a little reluctant: "Thirteen Niang, what happened so early in the morning?"

"Brother, have you forgotten that the rankings will be released today!" Du Shiyi was still not awake, and Du Shisanniang was anxious. She couldn't help but add, "Today is the day when Wannian County trials will be released. Liu Mo went to inquire and said that he would be released early in the morning. Although it was not the Jingzhao Prefecture trial, it was always the first level that Brother A had to pass!"

"If you get a ranking, someone will come to report the good news."

Du Shiyi yawned and saw the little girl pouting and looking unhappy, he was helpless. He had done everything he could to do. After three trials, he tried his best to pass all the posts, and passed all the essays in two or three, and he was diligent and pragmatic in his strategy. He was not affected at all when something happened in the trial. If this was still lost, it would mean that his preparations and operations were in vain. It would be better to go to Mingjing to study it tomorrow. Since this was the case, he went to Wannian County Party to watch the list, and he was also watched like a monkey. He was really not interested.

"Forget it, if you want to see it, I will accompany you to see it!"

"What are you accompanying me? Brother, you are taking the exam, not me!" Du Shisanniang was immediately angry. It was obvious that Du Shiyi stretched her waist and sat up slowly. She still signaled Zhuying beside her to get the clothes. Seeing that she had already dressed, she still carefully tidied up her belt for him. After a long time, she whispered, "Brother, the three sisters of the Feng family want to serve you, but I sent them to Qianbao Pavilion to build momentum for our things. You won't blame me, right?"

"Huh?" Seeing that the little girl was a little guilty, Du Shiyi couldn't help laughing after the initial stunned look. After laughing, he said seriously in Du Shisanniang's angry eyes, "They have specialized in their skills. They have followed Gongsun for many years, and they are naturally good at singing, so they may not be able to serve people!"

"Why don't you let Tian Mo serve with Brother A...will he follow Brother A while on the Songshan Mountain Xuanlian Peak?"

"Tian Mo is busy growing vegetables and picking wild vegetables and mushrooms on the mountain. He never cared about my meals and clothes. He is busy in the vegetable field behind the Cui family these days. He asked him to do these daily life things. I feel even more uncomfortable. Besides, I am used to cooking these trivial matters by myself. Don't worry about it!"

After washing up, Du Shiyi walked out and waited until she left the house. Seeing that the sky was gradually showing the light of the morning light. Before the morning drum was ringing, he turned his head and smiled at Du Shisanniang, "It's still early, and even if he arrived at Wannian County Party, there might not be any results. It's rare to have free time. Is it okay for brother to dance the sword to show you?"

Although the fight started from Luoyang, the eastern capital, and the brother and sister have been living under the same roof, however, such leisure time as Du Shiyi only had after the previous county examination. Therefore, Du Shisanniang agreed without thinking, smiled and looked at Zhuying holding the sword up, watched Du Shiyi draw the sword in his hand, moved his feet slightly, and danced the sword slowly.

Unlike the sword dance of Gongsun Master and Apprentice, she had watched, she only felt that her brother was steady and steady, no matter whether he was at his feet or the sword in his hand, and occasionally he jumped lightly, and the sword light suddenly turned sharply. Although it was not as beautiful as Gongsun Master's sword dance, it was still the most powerful in her eyes.

I don’t know how long Moli has been looking at it, but seeing that Du Shiyi finally slowly stood up, she quickly took the soft scarf handed over to the bamboo Ying. When Du Shiyi, who was sweating profusely, shook her head and went back to the house to change her clothes, she couldn’t help feeling uneasy. She asked Qiu Niang who was walking towards her softly: “My mother, do you think there will be a good result for this county examination in my brother?”

"Why are you still worried about this now?" Qiu Niang said without hesitation, "The husband must be able to pass, at most it is a matter of good or bad ranking!"

“But the ranking is also very important…”

Until she went out with Du Shiyi, Du Shisanniang was still muttering in her heart. She was delayed by the sword dance that got up early, and Du Shiyi was slowly swaying when she was using breakfast. Now it was time for Fangmen to open the streets to travel around. However, most of the noble ladies of Chang'an age would not go out so early, so the group of people who were huddling in front of them seemed particularly conspicuous. When she entered the north gate of Xuanyangfang, Du Shisanniang finally couldn't help but ride a horse to approach Du Shiyi and asked in a low voice: "Brother, are we going to bring so many people today... too ostentatious?"

"Before taking the exam, I naturally had to be low-key. Now I have to take my sister to see the list. Isn't it wrong for you to be so low-key?"

Du Shiyi said this, but he thought that there were still people who dared to use such clumsy and despicable means during the trial. If someone might make trouble today, if the listing was released today, how could he not bring more people just in case? He did not show any of his face, but just chatted and laughed with Du Shisanniang. When he saw the Wannian County Party from afar, he saw dozens of people waiting in front of the door and servants. I don’t know who saw him with a sharp eye. When his journey was getting closer, someone took the initiative to give in. Not only that, Du Shiyi also found something that had not been discovered before in the eyes of many people.

There is actually a little more awe!

The list has not yet been released at this moment. After Du Shiyi and Du Shisanniang waited on the north wall of the east-west cross street in the yard, he reached out and called Liu Mo: "Has something happened these days?"

These days Du Shiyi is clearly relaxing and entertaining, and Liu Mo will not be in trouble. Since he was asked, he respectfully said: "The little official who disturbed the trial stage before... was found to have received money and asked for it, and the amount was not small. According to the law, he would be a hundred sticks. If there is no accident, he would not be able to survive."

Although Du Shiyi also hated the little official who was so frustrated with others' benefits, he still frowned slightly and asked, "Have the Cui family put pressure on this matter?"

"The wife of the head of the family and others were mourning in Dongdu, so they naturally didn't care about this matter. I heard that it was Jingzhaoyuan Dayin who personally asked someone to investigate and cut it off, perhaps to kill the chicken to warn the monkey."

That good old man Yuan Gan Yao was so cruel at the critical moment!

Once again, he felt that the rumors and impressions of later generations were not reliable. Du Shiyi fell into deep thought for a moment and did not notice that more and more people gathered around to watch the list. Among them, there were even many scholars who were deposed in the first game. Du Wenruo was mixed in the crowd and was looking at him with jealous eyes. However, Qiu Niang discovered the two gazes and recognized them as Du Wenruo. She was about to remind Du Shiyi, but after thinking about it, she finally held back for the time being.

I don’t know how long I waited, but I saw the gate of the county party committee opened. A small official brought two servants to the list and came out until it was posted in front of the bulletin board. Before all of it was posted, someone started yelling.

"It was Jingzhao Du Shijiulang who won the leader!"

The ranking of the county exam is far less eye-catching than that of the prefecture and provincial exams. However, the events that happened on the exam on the other day were full of twists and turns, but in just a few days it was already full of controversy. At this moment, the scholars around the list were talking. Although someone looked at Du Shiyi from time to time, no one dared to attack him in person. It was not until the initial commotion subsided slightly that someone suddenly shouted again.

"Du Shijiulang, it is always the most difficult to post scriptures. It is already very difficult for others to understand six out of ten. Why can you answer them all!"

Seeing that everyone around him looked at him, Du Shiyi was about to answer, when Du Shisanniang next to him was shouted by this voice, she immediately came back from her initial ecstasy, but her face turned red. She suddenly took a step forward and said loudly: "That's because my brother was studying in Songshan for the years he has been diligent in copying books every day, and he doesn't know how many books he copied. If anyone is dissatisfied, wait until he has copied a few high books before questioning! It's because my brother came up with a method of wire-bound books because of the convenience of copying books. Now there are wire-bound books in the market, which is more popular than scrolls and scriptures."

This was the first time she had argued with a hostage in front of someone. Seeing that it was quiet around her, she couldn't help biting her lip, and then she mustered up the courage to say, "Brother, I will open a bookstore in the future and show all the books you copied over the years to others, so that you can see how much hard work you have spent, so that they won't work hard themselves, but instead think you are lucky!"

Looking at Du Shisanniang who was flushed with excitement, Du Shiyi couldn't help laughing. At this moment, he was too lazy to explain anything. He stepped forward and took Du Shisanniang's reins and smiled: "The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the sword is sharpened. Why should Shisanniang argue with the hostages? Since we have seen the list, we will go back!"

Watching the crowd give way to Du Shiyi and his brothers and sisters again, watching those who failed the exam, speechless or just whispering behind their backs, Du Wenruo suddenly felt angry. The third-last on the list, his name seemed so dazzling, making his heart sore and painful. Even Guo Quan, the tester of Lianxian County Examination, was also hated. He clenched his fists viciously, took a deep breath and turned around and left. When he got on the horse and threw away the servants all the way to the south gate of Xuanyangfang, he suddenly thought of another thing.

The King of Taiyuan Shisanlang is said to be in Chang'an County Examination. What about Liu Ximing, whom he met at the birthday party of Concubine Doulu last time? And the children of the Du family in Jingzhao who he knew were planning to take the imperial examination? Could it be... Could it be that they all avoided the other counties of Jingzhao Prefecture because Du Shiyi took the Wannian County Examination?

"These cunning guys..."
