The attendant stepped forward and smeared the paste onto the announcement rail, and the official immediately pasted the yellow paper in his hand.

Before the official could evacuate, the crowd surged forward with a roar, squeezing the official and stumbling around, shouting curses.

When Fang Xiaoyue saw so many people, she had no idea of ​​going over to take a look. Instead, Zhang Jutai and his son Zhang Yuanming squeezed in with their tall size, causing a lot of scolding.

But from this moment on, surprise shouts of "I won!" came from the crowd from time to time.

But there are also people who have quick eyes and hands and quickly read the list and find that their name is not there. They are unwilling to read it a few times, sigh and turn around to leave.

"I hit it! I hit it!"

It took a lot of effort for Zhang Yuanming to squeeze out of the crowd, with a look of ecstasy on his face, as if he had been born a child.

Zhang Jutai followed behind, also looking happy.

"Say it nicely!"

Butcher Zhang grabbed the panting Zhang Yuanming.

"Brother Mingrui is hit, hit in the head!"

After all, Zhang Yuanming had attended a private school, and was much better than the semi-illiterate Zhang Jutai and the completely illiterate Zhang Butcher.

"Hit? Also hit the head?!

"

During this period, because Fang Xiaoyue was going to take the county examination, Zhang Tufu's family had learned about the county examination, so they also knew that Fang Xiaoyue was actually the first place in the county examination!

So Butcher Zhang's family immediately became ecstatic.

Even after returning home, the corners of Butcher Zhang's mouth could not help but curl up.

Of course, Butcher Zhang went home because he needed to open a stall to sell meat, while Fang Xiaoyue needed to go to the county government office to collect the birth certificate.

Only by receiving this birth certificate and taking the government examination can he enter the examination hall.

When he came to the county government office accompanied by his cousin Zhang Yuanming, and after he received the childbirth certificate from a courtesy house servant, the county government office in his eyes became very different from before.

The entire county government office was shrouded in a layer of light red translucent mist.

When he went to the backyard to meet the county magistrate Cui Changshou, he saw that Cui Changshou had a rich red aura, and a red tree crown hung above his head, making him look very majestic.

Is this official aura? Or maybe it’s the mutated dragon aura that brought him so much pressure.

How is this going?

Fang Xiaoyue began to think in her heart, but on the surface, she greeted Cui Changshou with great respect.

Cui Changshou also showed concern and kindness towards him as a leader. Not only did he talk to him about the situation of the government examination, he even heard that his family was poor, and even gave him five taels of silver as a gift before he left.

As travel expenses.

This made Fang Xiaoyue a little surprised.

It has always been students who give gifts to examiners. Today it is reversed. Officials give gifts to students?

Although to a county magistrate, five taels of silver is nothing.

But for Fang Xiaoyue, it was a solution to an urgent need.

After the results came out, he didn't plan to stay in the county for long.

Because the scholar examination requires passing the county examination, the government examination, and the college examination.

In Daze Country, the three exams are closely spaced.

One week after the county examination, the government examination will be held at the Tongfeng County Prefecture.

Ten days after the prefecture examination, the college examination will be held in Shannan County, the capital of Shannan Province.

In short, all this requires money.

Fang Xiaoyue said goodbye to Butcher Zhang and his family the next day, and took an ox cart to the Tongfeng County Prefecture.

The ox cart we rode this time was considered a formal ox cart. There was a small carriage behind the ox for Fang Xiaoyue to ride and rest.

Butcher Zhang gave Fang Xiaoyue six taels of silver before he left.

After calculation, before leaving home, his mother Fang Zhang gave him 1.5 taels of silver, the county magistrate Cui Changshou gave another 5 taels of silver as travel expenses, and Butcher Zhang gave him 6 taels of silver.

The total is almost 13 taels of silver.

Because the five taels of silver given by the county magistrate Cui Changshou were official silver of extremely high purity, and if used outside, their value would be higher than the silver circulating among the people.

Fang Xiaoyue feels that 13 taels of silver is completely enough, and maybe she can save a lot.

Of course, when you go out, everything costs money, so you should save money.

For example, the bullock cart he was riding at this time required 500 copper coins to go to the Tongfeng County Prefecture!

This is because Kuangluo County is relatively close to Tongfeng County. If it were replaced by other counties that are far away, the charge for an oxcart would not only be 500 copper coins, but one tael of silver.

The ox-cart can't travel as fast as a horse-drawn carriage. It took a day and a night to set out from Kuangluo County and arrive at Tongfeng County.

This is how ordinary people hurried during this period. It would be even slower if they used their legs.
