I have a fortune book

Chapter 20
The imperial court tacitly agreed to the unspoken rule that all the children selected by the magistrates of each county top the list, as long as they reach the average level in the county examination, they can be selected as scholars.

This is the face of the county government for the parents and officials under the rule, but if your county magistrate is a mediocre person, it will also lose face.

Of course, if you were in other inland states and counties, you would have to take the college exam after the county exam. The first place in the county exam is not enough, and the first place in the county exam will make the main examiner of the college exam an exception.

The servants who rushed to read the list couldn't believe it. They rushed out of the crowd and reported to their masters.

How can this be?If that kid really took the top spot, where did the Zhou family get such good luck!

However, whether they believe it or not, the Zhou family, Zhou Bai, has become a hot topic for a while, and has become a young rookie in Pingcang County.

In a restaurant not far away, Zhou Heyun and other Zhou family members who participated in the county examination gathered together, and he rented out the largest private room as the host.

Even though there are more than [-] people in this private room, few of them can pass the exam, but Zhou Heyun is not stingy with this little money.

Could there be a better time to build your own network than now?
As soon as the servant who announces the good news arrives, he can take advantage of the situation to draw the relationship closer, even if they are of the same clan, no one wants to cling to someone who is more promising.

"The only ones who have been blessed by the ancestors here are Zhou Cai, Zhou Qi and others. I know them all. Zhou Qi usually has a solid academic record and should be able to pass. The rest... alas." Zhou Heyun put his arms around the maid, thinking secretly.

But after thinking about it, he suddenly felt a little boring. From this point of view, only Zhou Qi could be his arm?

Everyone at the wine table was drinking and drinking, but except for a few hopeless people, most of them were absent-minded, and the delicious dishes were tasteless.

What if?What if the middle school student is selected? !

In this weird atmosphere, a distant report made everyone look outside the door.

"Report, report~"

"A total of four members of the Zhou family were middle school children, ranking first in the township!"

"Which four people?" Someone asked eagerly.

The messenger servant whose face was full of joy suddenly froze. He glanced carefully at Zhou Heyun before he said: "The county has a total of 20 children, nine from No. 20 of Young Master Yun's High School, and No. [-] of Young Master Qi's High School."

Hearing that Zhou Qi was taller than him, Zhou Heyun suddenly felt that his calculations had been lost. Even though Sanfang was much stronger than Zhou Qi's lineage, his father was not him after all.

Then Zhou Heyun saw that the servant's expression was not right, his heart sank again, and he asked in a muffled voice, "Tell me who the other two are? It can't be Zhou Bai!"

"Returning to the young master, the No. 1 young master Bai ranked first in the high school, and the young master Rui also won the No. 30."

Suddenly, the whole room fell into silence. This news was really shocking.

But no one doubted that the servant who reported the message was mistaken, because at this time the restaurant also got the news, and the commotion spread to the private room, and the center of all kinds of discussions was Zhou Bai.

In the past few decades, the top rankings in the county examination every year are basically from the family of the county tycoon. It is nothing more than which one gets more points. I did not expect Zhou Bai to be a special case this year.

This also added fuel to the momentum of the Zhou family's attack on the county tycoon. It seems that it is really not boasting?
Unwillingness, embarrassment, resentment, all kinds of emotions came to my heart, Zhou Heyun didn't feel any joy when he passed the exam.

What is Zhou Bai?What is Zhou Rui?
"Master Yun, the celebration you ordered..."

"Still celebrating! I celebrated as a 29th place, how would Zhou Bai laugh at me, go back!"

Zhou Bai, the dark horse in the eyes of outsiders, did not have the consciousness to become the center of focus at this moment, and few people in the entire county knew him anyway.

He wandered around with Zhou Rui and Old Man Shi, as a leisure time for relaxation.

On a bustling street that sells the most snacks, Zhou Rui's mood is still not calm at this time.

But Zhou Bai didn't stop talking. Zhou Rui followed behind to pay the bill, and at the same time chased after Zhou Bai and muttered: "I said Zhou Bai, you are not happy at the top of the list? Or your way of celebrating is to eat?"

"Well, what way do you want to celebrate? Why don't I take you to the Fireworks Lane." Zhou Bai swallowed the candied fruit in his mouth, turned around and said seriously.

"Really? We haven't crowned yet."

"Really, as long as you pay, Uncle Wu of Tongsheng will be happy if you pass the exam. Twenty taels is enough for us to stay for a few days and nights."

"Aren't you afraid? My mother said that if a man enters Firework Alley, he won't be able to get out."

"Hahaha, ask your father if he wants to be trapped in it."

It's a pity that no matter how much I said, the old-fashioned way of fully fulfilling the mission still stopped the two and a half young men, and he would not borrow money.

If he watched the two young masters go to Firework Lane, he might be kicked out by the Zhou family tomorrow.

In the end, Zhou Rui wanted to go but didn't dare to go to Fireworks Alley, after all, he just passed by, and just let the old driver stop at the entrance of the alley for a while.

"It's a pity that the top of the Tongsheng list can't go whoring for nothing. It would be great if you were the top of the case..."

At the official road connecting Hongni Township to the county seat, two rows of Zhou family martial masters led by Zhou Rui's father greeted the two of them, and of course Zhou Bai was the main one.

"father."

"Go aside."

Zhou Rui's father is Zhou Xiangwen, who is in charge of Wufang. Apart from a scholar in the early days, Wufang's literary fortune has been sluggish since then.

The father and son were completely printed out of the same mold, with round and fat faces and a rich appearance.

But for businessmen, Zhou Xiangwen is better like this, at least Zhou Bai is completely adapted to the affinity of this fifth uncle, and he smiles when he talks.

"Brother Bo, good job, I won a sigh of relief for your parents."

"I've met Uncle Fifth, I'm not here for the sake of fame, so I'd like to ask you to come and pick him up in person." Zhou Bai saluted with a kind smile on his face.

In the Zhou family's direct lineage, most of them are neutral towards Qifang's dilapidated condition. Few people make trouble, and few are willing to make friends.

Because of Zhou Rui, when Zhou Xiang Wen Xingshang came back to rest, he took good care of Zhou Bai.

"What's the difference between the top of the list and fame? No matter how the county government will give you a scholar." Zhou Xiangwen shook his head and said.

Although he is not even a child, he knows the importance of fame and fame, and he has traveled all over the world, and he has a clear path in the imperial examination.

"This is your child's document. There is no privilege, but it is necessary to take part in the county examination."

Zhou Bai took the document, and then said with a half-smile: "That's not necessarily the case. Lack of luck may make it difficult for the prefect to make a choice."

After all, the unspoken rules were not in plain text, Zhou Xiangwen was dumbfounded, he took a deep look at Zhou Bai, and he didn't know how many times he had scolded the higher-ups in the clan.

Such a talent, why didn't you give a place for the blessing of the ancestors.

"Cough cough, the patriarch, hey, the patriarch asked me to pick it up, and there will definitely be compensation later, Brother Bo, don't worry..."

Zhou Xiangwen was in a hurry to explain, but Zhou Bai had already lost his mind, and to be precise, he was immersed in the book of luck.

[Original Point: Fourteen] (Participate in the Daxu 46th County Examination, take the first place in the list of children in Zhongping Cang County, add three to the original point.)
It was the first time in the main world to obtain the source point, which already made Zhou Bai happy, but the bigger change in the book of luck is the change of natal.

Reflecting on the figure, a trail of white gas appeared above the figure's head.
