A clerk in the ceremony room came out of the yamen, leading a group of scholars to the ceremony room of the second entrance courtyard.Then let the scholars wait in the ceremony room, and then went to notify the county magistrate.

Two quarters of an hour later, the clerk returned again and led everyone to the back hall.Entering the lobby, he saw Zhou Zhixian sitting at the desk in official uniform and looking at them.

As the head of the case, Luo Xin walked in the front, leading a group of candidates into the lobby, and then bowed down to Zhouzhi County.

Zhou Zhixian's face was radiant, and he liked Luo Xin standing at the front more and more. Since getting to know Luo Xin, his official career has been smooth sailing.Turning the troublesome martial arts fight into a literary fight, and defending the county during the outbreak of rogue bandits, and now Yanglin County has another prodigy like Luo Xin.The magistrate has already reported his name and achievements, and it will not take long for him to be promoted.

So Zhou Tingyu's mood today is both relaxed and excited. She doesn't want to embarrass these candidates. As long as there are no fake candidates, she is almost ready to let them pass.

The examinees were also very relaxed. In fact, they all knew that the last round was just a formality. As long as they were not too stupid, they couldn't lose the election, so it was just a ranking.So their mood is also relaxed and excited at this time.

At the same time, this last session was also a celebration banquet. After all the candidates passed the interview, Zhou Zhi County would set up a banquet to entertain the candidates. This was a common practice, so some poor scholars didn't have breakfast and waited to eat this meal.

Sure enough, Zhou Zhixian's question was very simple. He just asked all the candidates to write a poem on the subject of snow.Luo Xin did not plagiarize the poems of famous people in history, but composed one himself.The whole poem was well-behaved, but there was nothing eye-catching, so Zhou Zhixian was a little disappointed when he looked at Luo Xin.

However, even so, Luo Xin's poems were among the best among all the examinees, so Zhou Zhixian felt relieved that he was the top of the list.

It took nearly a morning, and Zhou Zhixian finally waved his big hand, announcing that all the candidates had passed, in exchange for cheers from all the candidates.The magistrate of Zhou encouraged the candidates a few more words, saying that the government examination will be in two months, and he hoped that the candidates would make persistent efforts, so he ordered the dishes to be served.

This is the moment that all the candidates are looking forward to. On the one hand, they can have a big meal, on the other hand, they can also take this opportunity to make friends with you in the same year, and they can also go to the hall to respect wine and attract each other's opportunities.

Therefore, the lobby became lively all of a sudden, all the candidates naturally toasted Zhou Zhixian first, and the No.1 toast was naturally the head of the case, Luo Xin.

After Luo Xin finished toasting, all the examinees toasted Zhou Tingyu one after another, but Luo Xin returned to his seat, with the northern war lingering in his mind, looking like he was wandering away.

After the toast to the magistrate of Zhou County was over, someone began to toast to Luo Xin. Luo Xin showed a smile in front of him, and while dealing with everyone of the same year, he lost his mind from time to time.

Although Luo Xin concealed it very well, the candidates were in a state of excitement and didn't see it, but Zhou Tingyu, who was familiar with Luo Xin, could still see it.I couldn't help but secretly said in my heart:
"What's wrong with this letter? Are you so happy to be the chief case?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing in his heart: "After all, he is still a 12-year-old child. After the banquet is over, he should be kept to mention something fan."

After the noisy banquet ended, all the candidates left together, and Luo Xin was naturally kept by Zhou Tingyu.Following Zhou Tingyu into the back hall, Zhou Yu also rushed over upon hearing the sound, and the three of them made a pot of tea and sat around the table.At this time, Luo Xin had already let go of his thoughts, he didn't dare lose his mind when facing Zhou Zhi County, that would be disrespect.Looking at the happy Zhou Zhixian, Luo Xin said with a smile:

"My adoptive father is full of spring breeze, but what is the happy event?"

"It's really a happy event, hehe..." Zhou Tingyu couldn't help laughing from ear to ear.

Luo Xin looked at Zhou Haode, but Zhou Haode spread his hands and shook his head to express that he didn't know.Zhou Tingyu laughed and said:
"Don't look at Haode, you don't know. I only got the news last night, and I haven't told Haode yet."

"But the adoptive father is about to be promoted?" Luo asked in confidence.

"Smart!" Zhou Tingyu laughed loudly.

A look of surprise appeared on Zhou Haode's face and he said, "Father, what position have you been promoted to? But you want to go to Beijing?"

Zhou Tingyu rolled his eyes: "The beauty of thinking, it's still in Jinyang Mansion, it's the work of Xuanfu Siqian."

At this time, some clerks of the Lifang began to post the list of the county examination on the screen wall outside the county government. Many people gathered here to look at the list, even those candidates who participated in the fourth banquet Looking for his place.

Luo Xin's name was written at the top of the list alone, and below him were the names of the nineteen first-class candidates.Then there are forty people in the second class, sixty in the third class, one hundred in the fourth class, eighty in the fifth class, and the rest are not in the next class.

Not all candidates who are on the list are eligible to participate in the two-month offspring government examination, only the top [-] of the first, first, second and third grades are eligible to participate in the government examination.

Everyone looked enviously at Luo Xin's name on the head of the desk, and then left one after another.Candidates who are qualified to take the government examination are naturally elated, while those who are not qualified either hang their heads and go to the pub to get drunk, or clenched their fists and gnashed their teeth, vowing to do it again next time.

A group of people stood opposite the county government office, but they were Luo Xin's parents and sister-in-law.There are also two brothers, Lu Tingfang and Lu Tingjiang.

Although these people knew that Luo Xin was the top case, they still couldn't help but look at the list in person.The Luo Ping couple and Zhang Yuniang are due to their family relationship, and all of Luo Xin's success is their pride.Lu Tingfang and Luo Xin have a mentor-student relationship, so they naturally pin all their hopes on Luo Xin. Luo Xin's success is his pride, and the two brothers also know that Luo Xin is getting better and better in his official career. The farther they are, the safer they will be, and their fate has already been linked with Luo Xin.

"Brother Luo Xian, congratulations!" Brother Lu Tingfang bowed their hands to Luo Ping to congratulate him.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Luo Ping also bowed his hands and returned the gift with a smile on his face.

The back hall of the county government.

Zhou Tingyu and his son and Luo Xin were chatting happily, and Luo Xin was congratulating Zhou Tingyu: "Father, this Xuanfu Siqian matter is a sixth rank, and the foster father has been promoted to a rank. Congratulations to the foster father."

"You really won the case today, congratulations, congratulations."

"Congratulations to father, congratulations to brother Xin." Zhou Haode was beside him with a look of joy.

"Well, that's right!" Zhou Tingyu seemed to have remembered something, and called a yamen servant and said, "Go to the Zhang residence and invite Zhang Xun here."
