"You little brat, why didn't you tell us about such a big thing?" Su Dahai said with a hint of blame in his tone.
"Cousin, you're amazing! You made such a big splash at the female commander's homecoming banquet."
Su Nanyan patted Song Chi's shoulder with his big hand like a palm-leaf fan. Song Chi had been feeling better after a few days of rest, but this pat not only added new injuries to the old ones, but also increased his injury.
Brother, be gentle.
I can’t stand it.
"Da Lang, you've really made it."
Su Dahai patted Song Chi's shoulder again, "That guy named Song Ming must be Song Shiwen's youngest son."
Song Chi was slightly stunned, and the corners of his mouth twitched. His shoulder was broken, so couldn't this father and son be more gentle?
"Cousin, is there a wound on your shoulder?" Song Chi then noticed that his cousin was wearing a light green long skirt today. It was a bit old and the hem had been washed white, but it did not affect the beauty at all. Instead, it looked fresh and elegant.
My sister really suits wearing skirts.
After the county exam is over, I will work hard to earn money and buy a purple dress for my sister.
"Ah... a little."
Song Chi thought that his sister really understood him, but the two rough guys didn't listen at all.
"You have already taken advantage, why do you still want to bet with Han Yuanzheng? If you lose, you will have to lick his shoes." Obviously, the uncle was more concerned about his bet.
"What are you afraid of? Don't worry about life or death. Just fight if you don't agree!"
Su Nanyan stretched out his hand again as he spoke, but Song Chi reacted quickly and dodged it with a flash.
"You know shit."
Su Dahai was about to say something, but then he shook his head and said, "I just don't believe Song Shiwen would watch his son lick someone else's shoes."
"Animals are different from humans. They can really do it."
Song Chi said, "I'm going into the examination room."
"Wait, your aunt will be here soon."
"Is my aunt here?"
"Just a wooden sign costs ten coins, why don't they just rob it?"
As they were talking, Wang Ru walked over and was obviously stunned when she saw Song Chi. She hid the thing in her hand behind her back.
It turned out that my aunt had gone to buy him a prayer tablet, which is commonly seen in temples. As soon as she bought it and hung it up, someone took it down and threw it away.
My aunt is indeed a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
I usually don’t want to buy anything, but I am willing to spend ten cents to buy him a prayer card.
"Thank you, aunt."
Wang Ru's face lit up with joy. This guy finally opened up, but she didn't expect Song Chi to say, "There was fifty taels in the reward from the Marquis' Mansion. My aunt wanted to keep it for herself. She bought me the prayer tablet out of guilt, right?"
Song Chi blurted out.
This was not his intention. It seemed that the original owner had too much resentment towards his aunt.
"You..." Wang Ruben's smile turned from bright to dark in an instant, and her delicate long eyebrows frowned, and she was on the verge of exploding.
Su Dahai felt his scalp tingling, and hurriedly said, "Dalang, hurry up and get into the examination room. Don't miss the time."
"I'm leaving."
Song Chi responded and walked towards the examination hall, and his aunt's shrill voice sounded behind him.
"He has no conscience."
"He's such a heartless person! I didn't even bother to eat or wear anything myself, and yet I spent ten cents on this wooden sign for him, and he still said that to me."
Wang Ru was shaking with anger.
At this time, Su Nanyi asked: "Mother, have you ever thought of taking the reward from the Marquis' Mansion for yourself?"
Wang Ru paused for a moment, "What nonsense are you talking about, you little bitch?"
"Why did you pause? You're still feeling guilty..."
The county examination was only the most basic test, so the inspection was not very strict. At the entrance of the examination hall, several officers conducted routine checks, and the candidates entered much faster. Song Chi was in the queue and it was his turn soon.
He handed over his ID for inspection by the officer.
Not everyone who wants to take the exam can do so. There are five conditions for registering for the Tongsheng exam, and none of them can be missing. One must have a clean background, be from the native place of the country, and also clearly state the surnames of both parents.
As a stubborn candidate in the county examination, Song Chi had passed the exam for three consecutive years, so naturally there was no problem with this. The reason why no one doubted his relationship with Song Shiwen was because Song Chi had a "father".
That year, Song Shiwen went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, leaving behind the pregnant Su Yun. Seeing her belly growing bigger day by day, she didn't know what to do.
In that era, getting pregnant before marriage was a crime. Forced into a desperate situation, she could only find someone to fake a marriage with. In the end, she found an old man named Song and gave him one or two taels of silver.
Not long after, the old man passed away and Song Chi was born. Because of this incident, Su Yun was ridiculed and died of depression.
However, it also gave Song Chi a nominal father.
The county yamen runners searched me expressionlessly and then let me go. After entering the door, I saw the magistrate Bai Yong sitting on a temporary examination platform. After passing the gate inspection, I had to go to the magistrate for verification.
Bai Yong acted as if he didn't know him and just checked as usual.
His bet with Han Yuanzheng was known to everyone and was the focus of all the candidates. Bai Yong would certainly not make things difficult for him in public, as this would make the magistrate appear incompetent.
After getting his exam number, Song Chi found his seat and sat down. This exam room was in an open area, but the candidates next to each other were farther apart, similar to taking exams in school in his previous life.
The county examination was originally a preliminary examination, and was not so formal in any aspect. Even the submission system was relatively relaxed. The papers were handed in directly on the examination table. The county magistrate could review the papers on the spot and decide whether the candidate passed or not. He could also directly designate the first place in the case.
The first place in the county exam is the first place in the county exam.
Song Chi's goal is to get the first place in the county exam. If he gets the first place in the county exam, he will generally be "guaranteed to pass" in the subsequent prefectural exam, which means he will definitely get the status of a student.
However, it is too difficult. The county magistrate has undisputed decision-making power over the county examination. Bai Yong will definitely not allow himself to become the first in the county, otherwise it would be a slap in the face of everyone. If it were a new county magistrate, it would be possible.
Song Chi thought about sitting in his seat, in the middle and front, properly, but he was in the examiner's sight, and he could be stared at closely at the examination table.
This arrangement obviously has a deeper meaning. It can be said that they are keeping an eye on him to prevent fraud, or they can deal with any situation directly.
Of course he wouldn't cheat, but there's no guarantee that someone else would frame him.
The punishment for cheating in the imperial examinations was strict, and serious offenses included exile.
Song Ming will definitely intervene. According to his personality, it is not enough to just prevent him from passing the county exam. He must at least frame him with a crime.
He wants to completely destroy himself.
So we must be more cautious.
Song Chi had already thought of possible situations and made response plans.
This is his usual style of doing things, he is used to preparing for a rainy day.
He had expected that Song Shiwen would also appear in this county examination. This man used the imperial examination as a tool to form cliques and pursue personal interests. How could he miss such an opportunity to get close to the candidates?
However, because of his suggestion, Song Shiwen might not come, fearing that he would "force the emperor to abdicate" in public.
Song Chi's hatred towards him increased a little. His son had made such a bet with someone else. Even if he didn't acknowledge his relationship with him, he could definitely help him secretly.
But he avoided seeing me, which was really disgusting.
While I was lost in thought, a gong sounded, the exam began, and the examination hall was closed.
At this moment, a man hurried in, shouting at the same time: "How dare you start the examination when this county hasn't even arrived yet?"
Song Chi was shocked that the new magistrate arrived at this time!
