Chapter 171 Dilemma

Compared with the small-sized Su family, the other two major families in Yuanyang City are obviously much more lively, especially after the Liu family had a lot of things, the imperial examinations, which were closely linked to the position of the latter head, became more and more important.

The elders in each room at home cannot care about the children who used to be wandering in the past in the past clinging to the Buddha or not in the past few days, just stuffing them inside. They always have a lucky feeling. What if they are lucky enough to pass the exam?

The young man from the Liu family who had been hiding outside Yuanyang City these days finally stepped across the city gate again, as if he was a different world. He looked at the crowded street market, raised his head, and looked in the direction of the Liu family mansion with unyielding and hatred, and murmured in a low voice.

"I will make you regret it!"

**********

Yong'an City, Xiping Village, is an ordinary wooden house.

"My husband, today is the day for the county examination. I went to the temple a few days ago to ask for a signature, saying that our Su family will definitely be able to go to high school during this imperial examination and will rise to the top from now on..."

While yawning, Su Minghu was wearing clothes for him. Listening to her chanting like this, he suddenly felt a little irritated and patted her hands and said impatiently: "Okay, do you still need to say such a thing? It's just a county trial..."

Although he said that, he didn't have much confidence in his heart.

He knew his level himself. It was not the first time he took the county exam. The first and second exams were basically OK. When he really took the school's fourth and fifth exams, he couldn't help but lose some questions. He was often confused by just a gamble of luck. He generally hoped to pass the exam.

But he took the exam twice in previous years, but he didn't even get into the status of a child. How could he be willing to do this?

The only thing that made him feel a little relieved was that the colleagues who had been with him in the poetry meeting over the years also failed the exam. They all looked like they complained about the world and secretly scolded that the county magistrate was not very good and could not see the unique temperament of their articles.

Thinking of this, he felt gloomy again.

Since the news that his younger brother was about to sign up for the county examination, he has never received invitations to these poetry and literary associations. Even after receiving the news, he took the initiative to catch up with him with shame and was ridiculed by them. Few people were willing to pay attention to him until he left with shame.

"It's all caused by that guy!"

Su Minghu was so angry that he gritted his teeth and could only exert all his anger on his younger brother.

The only thing that comforted him was that his younger brother could not settle insurance with others, nor could he find a student to protect him. In this way, he could not even enter the county government gate, let alone participate in the county trial.

As long as Yulong's name will not appear in the candidates, he will naturally be confident that he will explain it clearly to his friends. It was just a misunderstanding before, so that he can gain their recognition.

But at this moment, he looked up and saw that Su Yulong, who had rarely tidied up his clean appearance outside the house. Although there were patches on his clothes and it looked worn out, he was unexpectedly also very scholarly.

But why does this guy dress up like this? Herding cattle is not so particular!

He had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly opened the door and shouted to Su Yulong, who was squatting beside the scalper and writing on the mud, saying, "Yulong, what are you doing?"

"Brother, I'm going to participate in the county exam today." Su Yulong did not hide it and replied with a smile.

"No one is protecting you, and you will make trouble if you go to the county government!" Su Minghu raised his eyebrows and scolded him sternly.

"But..." Su Yulong shook his head slightly, "Someone has been protecting me, and I have signed up in the county government."

At first, Su Minghu just thought he was nonsense, but when he heard that he was talking so well, it didn't seem like it was fake, and he suddenly became panicked.

"If this kid really goes to the exam, then he will really become a laughing stock in the eyes of his friends and will never be able to raise his head for the rest of his life?"

Thinking of this, he suddenly became impatient and said angrily: "No, you are not allowed to take the exam today anyway! What kind of knowledge do you know, a cowherd kid know? Will it be a humiliating my Su family's storefront? How can I raise my head in the future?"

Su Yulong was about to defend himself, but suddenly heard that his brother called his sister-in-law and locked him in the inner room together, locked the door, and prevented him from going out!

"Don't think about going out today!" Su Minghu outside the door was unmoved when he heard the knock on the door in the house and said coldly, "In addition, I will also say to the coachman in the village, and I will never take you a ride. If you dare to escape, just walk to the county town by yourself, and don't go back to this home in the future!"

The county town is more than ten miles away from the village. If you are not in a hurry and still walk, you will be a little tired at most. But now the county exam is about to go, and when he really walks over, the first exam is probably over!

After doing this, Su Minghu probably felt that everything was foolproof, so he turned his head and went out to take the exam.

Su Yulong in the room had cold hands and feet, and his heart was like falling into an abyss. He never expected that his brother was so heartless and refused to take the exam himself!

But now, after preparing for these days, even Brother Zhou Shize praised him for being on the list, but now it is impossible to refer to because of this accident, which leads to missing the opportunity to see that girl in the last time. How could he be willing to do so?

He tried to plead with his sister-in-law who was guarding the door, but what he got was his sister-in-law's sneer and ridicule.

"You guys stay in there, I won't let you out." She brought a bench to guard the door, gnawing a fruit while saying, "You want to take the imperial examination too? Wouldn't I go there too? It's just a laughing stock for others!"

"hateful!"

Su Yulong's eyes were red, annoyed by his brother and sister-in-law's ruthlessness, and also by his own powerlessness, unable to get rid of his current predicament.

He raised his head and looked at the sky. It was already bright. If he delayed some time, he would probably not be able to catch up with the entrance exam. By then, he would have automatically given up on this exam...

He raised his hand and smashed the table in almost despair, but suddenly a trace of coolness in his chest came into his mind, making his anxious mood gradually calm down.

"This is……"

He was stunned, and slowly reached out to take out a jade talisman from his arms, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"I don't know if this is feasible..."
