The other ones who lived with him were his parents, but they were also very hospitable. When he saw him visiting, he took the initiative to instruct his son to entertain guests with great pleasure and not to make others feel stingy.

The black-faced scholar naturally patted his chest and promised that when he saw that he had not eaten, he prepared some wine and food, which moved Su Yulong a lot.

At the dining table, the black-faced scholar was naturally curious about the reason for his visit at night. Su Yulong also briefly mentioned his current situation. Unexpectedly, the other party was full of righteous indignation and slapped the table and said, "I didn't expect that there was such a heartless person in the world! Brother Su, don't worry, you will live with me for the past few days. Although my family is not rich, it's okay to keep a pair of dishes and chopsticks."

"This is too troublesome for you!" Su Yulong didn't expect the other party to be so enthusiastic.

"Not the trouble!" The black-faced scholar shook his head, "You and I are both friends, and we are classmates who take the exam together. You don't have to remember these little things in your heart! What's more, just talking about the few words you taught me today, maybe I can make a breakthrough in this exam, and I can't buy it even if you can't buy it!"

The other party was unable to refuse his affection, so Su Yulong agreed, but he also remembered this kindness in his heart and dared not forget it.

In this way, there is no need to worry too much about living and traveling during these days.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a while has passed, and the county examination finally came to an end today.

During the period, the remaining four exams were going smoothly. There were not many unexpected storms, and they were basically waiting for tomorrow's announcement. It was also the day that only more than 100 candidates were looking forward to after being selected.

Su Yulong passed the first four games without any danger. The questions in the fifth game were the last few questions in the ghost town exam as before. He did not copy them, but instead wrote a new article based on his own knowledge. Although it may be a bit flawed, he also consciously performed well and should be on the list.

It is a bit regrettable that the black-faced scholar was screened in the fourth session and unfortunately failed the exam.

But the other party, who has always been optimistic and cheerful, laughed and said that he did not take it seriously. He also joked, "I lost in the third game last year, and this year is the fourth game. Wouldn't I have the chance to pass the fifth game next year?"

Of course, no one knows what the actual future will be, but this kind of mind is very admirable.

After the other party failed the exam, he was more concerned about what would happen to Su Yulong's exam. It seemed that he was more looking forward to tomorrow's announcement than he himself.

By the early morning of the next day, Su Yulong went to the county town with him, waiting for the yamen runners to post the list today.

At this time, there were already many scholars in the streets and alleys looking forward to it. There were a lot of people sitting in the tea shops and taverns next to it, including the candidates and many ordinary people watching the fun, waiting to inquire about what kind of person the head of the county case was.

Although it is unlikely that people like that have a relationship with them, this is also a good opportunity to increase the topic of conversation after dinner.

At the same time, there were also business-minded guys who set up gambling in the streets and alleys to bet on who the head of the case was.

"I guess, it's that prodigy named Hu! Although that guy is not old, even if I feel inferior to my literary talent, some teachers praise him for being able to pass the imperial examination. It should not be difficult for this small county to get a case leader..." One person discussed and put some broken silver in the gambling game, "I'll bet him!"

"Hmph, although that prodigy named Hu is good, he is young after all. I guess it is Chen Sheng! His literary talent is far beyond ordinary people. Maybe the county magistrate will take this and hire him?" The other person retorted, "I bet him!"

Su Yulong looked at him curiously when he passed by, but it was a popular candidate, and his name was missing.

No one would think that an unknown boy would win the head of the case.

He was not disappointed, but felt it was normal. He turned around and sat down in an free position with the black-faced scholar who was a little nervous and excited, quietly waiting for the final moment.

He had also noticed before that Su Minghu had failed the exam as early as the third game, so there is no need to worry about meeting the other party at this time.

After a long time, the gate of the county government finally slowly opened, three gongs and drums sounded, and then two minor officials walked out holding a red list paper, sticking it to the wall in the highly anticipated eyes.

Unlike the first four exams, the last and most important ones are not sorted by the exam numbers, but by the rankings. That is, the top ten names are the best people in this county exam, and it is basically possible to be sure to get the quota for scholars. The last forty people are Tong Sheng, and they also need to go through the provincial exam to become scholars.

At the forefront, the county magistrate personally enclosed the name of the red circle, which is the head of the county examination!

"Reveal the list!"

The little official sang, his eyes swept over the crowd that had begun to get impatient, slowly removed the yellow cloth blocked on the list, and displayed the list in front of everyone!

In an instant, the crowd began to boil!

Either crying, or ecstatic, or trance, or dancing...

All kinds of life seem to be condensed into these people in front of you.

"I've won! I've won!"

"Oh, I missed again. It seems that I will come back next year..."

The crowd was particularly crowded at this moment. Although Su Yulong had already tried hard to squeeze in, he could only barely see some words clearly, trying to identify them from the last name, trying to find his own name.

One row and two rows...

His eyes slowly swept over, but his heart gradually sank, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"Why still doesn't have my name? Could it be that I failed the exam?"

At this moment, he felt that his breathing was a little quicker, and with the crowded environment, he couldn't breathe for a moment and his hands and feet were numb.

However, at this moment, the black-faced scholar behind him suddenly grabbed his shoulder tightly, and the force was so strong that he felt a little painful.

He looked back with some pain, but saw the other party looking at the list with a dull face. He seemed to be muttering something but couldn't hear clearly, and he didn't notice his movements.

He listened carefully before vaguely hearing a few words "Case head..."

"Case head?"

Su Yulong's heart suddenly jumped, and then he saw the black-faced scholar who seemed to come back to his senses and shouted to him with ecstasy expressions, "Brother Su, you are the leader of the case! The leader of the case!"

Su Yulong couldn't hear the next sentence. He just followed the other party's eyes and looked at the name on the top of the list. The three most familiar words "Su Yulong" have changed into the world in his eyes, and fell heavily into his heart as if they were tangible, making his brain blank instantly!
