Chapter 132

It was Zhou Shuren's first contact with ancient exams, and he made a mistake for the first time, "Second place."

Zhulan was surprised, "Who is the first?"

Zhou Shuren took off his clothes and said, "From other villages, the 22-year-old has taken the exam three times."

Zhulan couldn't help laughing. It means that she has more experience than him. She took the clothes and said, "Where is the government exam in April?"

Zhou Shuren said a little unnaturally: "Pingzhou Examination, the government examination at the beginning of April, and the college examination at the end of the month. The college examination is also in Pingzhou, and it is presided over by the Xuezheng."

Zhulan counted the days, "It's best to go to Pingzhou in advance, isn't it going to be in late March?"

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Well, come to Pingzhou with me then?"

Zhulan counted the time, there is still a month and a half to train Li Shi, and it is no problem if Zhao Shi is not around, "Sure, yes, Jiang Sheng came to deliver the copied book the day before yesterday, and I will send the rest I gave him the money, and I asked him to come back when you come back."

Zhou Shuren remembered the matter of his son-in-law, "I went to take the exam this time and found him a new job. I sorted out the old documents for the county government and re-recorded the taxation situation for more than ten years. It was five hundred yuan a month. I went to help in the afternoon. Delay in reading in the morning."

Zhulan became curious, "How did you manage to go to the exam and meet friends from the county government?"

The county government needs someone to help, but it will not find a child student. This kind of opportunity to contact the county magistrate is rare. Although the county magistrate does not have much power, he is responsible for documents, management, taxation, and adjusting the relationship between the yamen and various ethnic groups. He is also a juren and an official, and it is very helpful to give some pointers if he really has eyes.

The rarer the opportunity, the more surprised Zhulan was how Zhou Shuren did it!

Zhou Shuren pulled the pillow and lay on the kang sideways, saying: "On the first day of the exam, I went out to eat, and I met the head of the yamen servant, who was the county magistrate's brother-in-law. We knew that the county magistrate valued an antique and was not sure whether it was real or not. , I have a heart-to-heart friend, and I helped after the exam, the antique is fake, and then to thank me and know that I am an examinee of this year, I feel that I have good ability during the discussion, so naturally I gave one or two preferential treatment, and then I took the opportunity to take it from the head of the yamen. I knew about the recruitment, introduced Jiang Sheng, and the county magistrate agreed, that's all."

Zhulan thought quickly, "Antiques must not be cheap. If I remember correctly, you once said that the county magistrate has been here for many years. The county magistrate was rated as excellent last year and will definitely go up. He saw the opportunity and left. Relationship, also want to go up, antiques are gifts?"

Zhou Shuren nodded with a smile, "Smart, that's why he is very grateful. If he buys it and sends it to offend others, he will cut off his hard-won career. As for when to sort it out, it’s waiting for whether I can be admitted as a scholar, if I am admitted, I can organize it for a few more months, if I don’t pass the exam, it will be until May.”

Zhulan pursed her lips, "The county magistrate is a candidate, he is not continuing to take the exam, the position of county magistrate is sought, it is not the right way to get promoted to the fifth rank and above, I remember what you said correctly!"

Zhou Shuren, "I remember correctly."

Zhulan stroked her chin, "It seems that the county magistrate is really optimistic about you. By the way, he invested in advance for himself, and the old fox also left a way out for himself!"

Zhou Shuren looked at Zhulan without blinking. He didn't say anything, but Zhulan understood. This feeling of empathy was very good. "My wife's intelligence, I admire her husband!"

Zhulan couldn't help but blushed. It was unnatural for anyone to be stared at aggressively. She could bear it but blushed a little. You make up."
