Su Minghu, Su Yulong's brother, also laughed and pretended to be generous, "That's for your brother's fault. If you want to eat in the future, just come here, I will definitely treat you some!"

Su Yulong ate silently and didn't say anything, but thought in his heart that if he had come a few more times, he might have lost his family...

The few people were having fun while eating and drinking, and no one cared about Su Yulong, who was just lying on the side to eat, accidentally started talking about some extra topics.

Su Minghu raised his wine glass and asked tentatively, "By the way, guys, the county will be tested at the beginning of next month. I wonder if there are candidates for mutual affiliation? Why don't we protect them together to save extra trouble."

"oh?"

The three scholars who had just ate meat and ate a lot and slapped the chopsticks in their hands slightly when they heard this, and then looked at each other, as if they were a little surprised.

"Hey, Brother Su, haven't you made a security agreement with someone yet?" One of them said in surprise.

"Not yet." Su Minghu had a bad premonition in his heart.

The man shook his head slightly and sighed, "Then you said it's too late. We have already secured two other friends, but now there is no room left for you."

"This...what should I do!" Su Minghu looked panicked.

The county exam is about to register for the county exam. Where can he find a few trustworthy candidates to complete insurance?

You should know that if one of the five people who have made a security problem has something wrong, it will be that the five people are guilty of the same crime, and they will end up beheading, and he will not dare to find someone randomly.

Upon hearing this, someone next to him said, "Brother Su may be able to find Bingsheng as a guarantee. Next year, I found Wang Bingsheng from Dongji Village as a guarantee. This year I heard that his quota is full, I am afraid you have to find another candidate."

The last person smiled and said, "I'm not afraid. I happen to have a familiar relative. He has a friend named Bingsheng. If he is willing to spend some money to ask him for protection, it should be no problem."

Su Minghu felt relieved when he heard this, raised his wine glass and smiled, "Then it's a blessing for you, but I don't know how much the premium is?"

"October usually only needs three taels of silver, but this year it seems that there are too many people, so three taels are afraid it will be unstable. If we give five taels of silver, the other party should agree to protect it." The last person thought for a while and replied, "If Brother Su is interested, we can recommend it..."

"Five taels of silver..."

Su Minghu opened his mouth, his mouth was a little dry. But seeing that these friends had already been guaranteed, he naturally couldn't say anything to refuse. He could only comfort himself that although this was a little expensive, he was safe.

But what no one noticed was that Su Yulong, who had been burying his head while eating, raised his head and looked at the few people in confusion.

He only knew that taking the imperial examination requires knowledge, but he never understood these things.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to interrupt and asked, "Brother, what does it mean to be a security?"

Su Minghu was stunned, looked back at him strangely, then waved his hand impatiently, "It has nothing to do with you, eat your meal."

A scholar on the side smiled and pointed out, "If you want to take the county examination, you must have five candidates to settle insurance together or have a student to protect you, otherwise you can't take it. Why, do you also want to take the imperial examination?"

"This is the first time I heard of it..." Su Yulong's face changed and said in a low voice. Then, Su Minghu, who was beside him, rushed to answer for him, "Don't get me wrong. This kid is not a good source of study at all. I haven't studied since I was a child, so how could I take the imperial examination!"

Su Yulong lowered his head and gritted his teeth. Although he knew it was unlikely, it was the first time he expressed his demands. "Brother, I want to participate in this year's county examination!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole seat became quiet, and everyone here looked at him.

Those scholars looked surprised and watching the fun, while Su Minghu gradually changed from surprise to anger, and his face gradually darkened...

...

After dinner, Su Yulong was driven out to feed pigs, chickens and ducks and prepare for tomorrow's work. Under the night, when he stood beside the fence in a daze, the backs of the scholars who left home in the distance were still faintly visible, and their laughter came into his ears.

"That brother is really interesting..."

"A cowherd dares to say that he has to rely on the imperial examination...haha..."

"If you really go to the exam, then Su Minghu will probably be a joke. No, he is already..."

He could vaguely hear the unscrupulous teasing, and the sound of his brother throwing dishes in the room behind him was heard from the room that he lost his temper with his sister-in-law. It was nothing more than the five taels of silver that he had guaranteed to protect him and the younger brother who had made him embarrassed in front of his friends.

The candlelight behind him swayed and the figures were mottled. Su Yulong slowly leaned against the fence and squatted down, lowering his head and silently, as if he was integrated with the darkness.

He had expected his brother to reject him, but he didn't expect that someone would need to be guaranteed to take the imperial examination, and he even needed five taels of silver as a premium! He originally wanted to go to participate secretly, but now he thought about it because he was too simple.

Five taels of silver?

Not to mention five taels, he had to grit his teeth to save out five ceremonies! Although he worked a lot on weekdays, he didn't get any of the money he got, and he got into his brother and sister-in-law's pocket.

Not to mention finding a student to protect him, it is nothing less than a dream...

Thinking about it like this, wouldn’t it be as difficult as he would to participate in the imperial examination?

Thinking of this, his heart became more and more depressed.

So when he was in class two days later, Zhou Shize, who had taught him some knowledge, also vaguely realized that his emotions seemed to be something wrong, as if he had lost his momentum in an instant, which was completely different from him a few days ago.

Seeing that Su Yulong had almost integrated the content of his teachings in his studies, and could even learn from them. It was expected that it should not be a problem in science, but may be a confusion and difficulties encountered in life.

I cherish this rare and intelligent person. Zhou Shize did not leave immediately after explaining the problem to him after today's class. Instead, he asked first, "I have encountered any trouble recently? If it is convenient, I might as well say it out loud. Maybe we can think of a solution together..."

"Brother Zhou!"

Su Yulong was moved but also ashamed. The two of them have become much closer in the past few days. They didn't pretend to cover up at this time. They could only sigh, "I may not be able to participate in this county trial."

"Why?" Zhou Shize asked in surprise and became more confused.

Judging from his level, although Su Yulong's article still has some shortcomings after his careful teaching in the past few days, it would definitely not be a problem if it was just a small county examination.

This is certainly because of this person's rare talent and intelligence, and because his former top scholar's identity is here, many questions are more thorough and clearer than the old scholars in the school, and the answers are more organized.

If he can't even pass the county test, where will he put his face?

If you can ask a top scholar to be a teacher to provide careful guidance, I am afraid that there may not be ten of them in the world who will be treated like this...
