Magistrate Zhang was amazed at the girl's accuracy, speed and perfection in solving the problem. Her answer was well-reasoned and well-structured. Her words were not particularly flowery, but very pragmatic.

What she likes most is doing practical things.

Magistrate Zhang disliked the fact that the article had only fancy words but no substance.

Magistrate Zhang watched and was immersed in it unconsciously. She didn't know how much time had passed. It was not until the legal advisor came and reminded her that she had stayed too long that she reluctantly left.

Forget it, I'll take the little girl's paper and take a closer look after the provincial examination.

When Magistrate Zhang left, Zhang Xiulin had just finished one of the questions. He then realized that the Magistrate had just stayed beside him, but he had not noticed.

However, even if it is discovered, the test must still be taken.

Zhang Xiulin didn't think any more and immersed himself in the exam again. He didn't hand in the paper until he finished all the questions and checked them twice.

The gate of the provincial examination hall opens and you are given a specified time to leave. Even if you submit your paper early, you cannot leave immediately.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiulin didn't have to wait long before the exam time came.

The gate opened and the candidates came out with their exam baskets.

As soon as I went out, I heard discussions.

Some people gathered in groups of three or four to check answers, some were full of confidence, and some hugged their classmates or family members, saying that they had just gotten a question wrong or didn't know how to do it, and were afraid they would fail the exam.

While Zhang Xiulin was taking the exam, Zhao Chuchu took her husband shopping and bought some things. Almost at the time when the gates opened, the two of them arrived at the examination room to wait for Zhang Xiulin and took her out to eat.

"The prefecture will try to open a case tomorrow. If we win, someone will come to report the good news. We have to be prepared to rob the money." Zhang Xiulin said after dinner.

It is a customary practice to give money to those who register papers.

Because his home in Renhe County was too far away, Zhang Xiulin filled in the address of the inn.

Zhao Chuchu patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, my brother and sister-in-law can still afford it."

After a whole day of exams, Zhang Xiulin was highly focused. After having a meal, he relaxed. He was very tired and packed up and went to rest early.

As soon as she lay down, she took out a red amulet-like object from under her pillow.

But this is not a talisman for peace, it is a talisman for "passing the imperial examination".

Xiao Jie had given her this talisman before she took the county exam, saying that he had specially gone to the temple to ask for it from Emperor Wenchang to bless her to pass the imperial examination. He also said that he had drawn a fortune stick, which was a very good one, and that she would definitely get the top spot in the exam in the future.

In this world, there is no such thing as a talisman that will definitely work to get your name on the imperial examination. Zhang Xiulin was certain that the little guy must have been fooled.

However, seeing the little one's expectant look, she did not expose it, but kept it with her. This time, she put it under the pillow on the bed because she was afraid of losing it when she had to take off her clothes for inspection before the exam.

Zhang Xiulin put the talisman back into his arms and fell asleep peacefully.

Zhang Xiulin slept soundly, but some people were restless.

"Nanny, do you think Sister Lin will pass the imperial examination?"

"Of course she will. She's so powerful."

Xiao Jie walked back and forth in the living room, circle after circle, chattering to Song Wanxian who was reading a book, but when Song Wanxian was about to answer, he responded to himself.

Today is the day of the provincial examination, and Xiao Jie has been talking about it since he woke up in the morning.

Song Wanxian looked at him like this, and instead of feeling annoyed, she had a faint smile on her lips.

She still remembers the days when she first brought Xiao Jie to Any County.
