After being transformed into the cannon fodder of a villain, I counterattacked and became the protag

"Master, what do you think?" Shopkeeper Jin asked.

"Not bad." Zhang Jinyue nodded, expressing that he was very satisfied with the house. "If possible, I would like to buy this house."

"This" Shopkeeper Jin looked embarrassed, "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. Although the owner of this family's ancestral house has suffered a disaster, he has no intention of selling it. His original intention is that he can't stand the group of debt collectors who come to his door every day. I plan to go out to avoid the limelight and come back after a while.”

"But the rent is negotiable."

Zhang Jinyue felt a little regretful. She really liked this house. If she didn't plan to sell it, she couldn't buy it by force.

Although shopkeeper Jin said that the rent could be negotiated, Zhang Jinyue rarely bargained and agreed directly.

As for creditors making trouble, she wasn't worried. She had encountered many troubles, hadn't she? She has experience dealing with such people.

After paying the money and signing the contract, the two of them chose a room, each put their things away, and it was time to have lunch.

Shopkeeper Jin hadn't left yet. When he saw them coming out, he stood up and said, "Master, it's getting late and you two should be hungry. Why don't you let me treat you at noon today and entertain you two well."

"How embarrassing is this?" Zhang Jinyue refused repeatedly, but couldn't resist Shopkeeper Jin and went anyway.

After Gu Yuncheng finishes the exam, they can also invite him back.

After finishing the meal and tidying up a little, Gu Yuncheng began to study.

In the next two days, except for going out during meals, Gu Yuncheng spent the rest of the time in his room reading. He knew that he did not have as much time to study as others, and his foundation was not as solid as others, so he had to spend more time.

Seeing him working so hard, Zhang Jinyue didn't bother him. In the past few days, she had been cooking at home. She cooked the food herself because she was worried that Gu Yuncheng would eat something unclean outside, which would affect his performance in the examination room.

When she had nothing to do, she would go to Mingxiang Pavilion to have a look, or go shopping on the street. Now that she had money, she was thinking about buying another shop in Qingzhou.

Time flew by and finally the day of the college exam arrived.

The college examination lasts for two days, divided into main examination and re-examination, with the results of the main examination being the main one.

The sun has been scorching hot these two days, and Qiu Qingquan has already spent money to find a good location to avoid the pain of being exposed to the sun.

In the examination room, Qiu Qingquan answered the questions with ease. In order to attract Mr. Yang's attention, he abandoned his previous idea of ​​seeking stability and wrote more sharply.

He has studied Mr. Yang's acting style. Mr. Yang was ranked second in the rankings at the age of eighteen and liked young people who showed their sharpness.

Zhang Jinxiu sent Qiu Qingquan into the examination room before reluctantly returning to Xinghua Village. In fact, she didn't need to go to Qingzhou with him, but this was an important moment for Qiu Lang. How could she not go?

As soon as I got home, I told my grandfather about Qiu Qingquan's plan. This is what Qiu Qingquan told her. To control the people in the village, she has to rely on the village chief.

Village Chief Zhang hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but persuade Zhang Jinxiu, "It is a serious crime to deceive the court officials. If found out, you will be beheaded. You... It is already good that Qingquan has been admitted as a scholar. Take your time with the rest." , why take this risk?”

Zhang Jinxiu didn't know these truths, but she was more willing to believe Qiu Qingquan. In his previous life, Qiu Qingquan entered the cabinet at a young age and became the second assistant. This must be related to his good plan for himself. Since I could succeed in my previous life, there is no reason why I will fail this time!

Zhang Jinxiu gritted his teeth and knelt in front of his grandfather, "Grandpa, please help us. As long as it is what Qiu Lang wants to do, I am willing to believe in him and help him do it, even if something happens to me I am also willing to bear the consequences with him.”

"Oh, you guys." Village Chief Zhang shook his head and did not let go.

He had watched this granddaughter grow up. She had been smart and thoughtful since she was a child, and he was willing to love her a little more.But he is not only Zhang Jinxiu's grandfather, but also the head of the Zhang family. These loves and affections are not enough for him to take his little family on a road of no return.

"Grandpa! Granddaughter, please help me and Qiu Lang. I promise you that if anything happens, I will bear all the blame and this matter will not involve other people in the family." Zhang Jinxiu said , banging his head on the floor.

She knew her grandfather's temper and knew that it would not be easy to get him to let go of this matter, so she could only rely on her grandfather's years of favor to resort to bitter tricks.

Zhang Jinxiu's head hit the hard stone slab, and blood flowed profusely in an instant. The village chief's heart clenched when he saw it, and he reached out to help her, "You kid, get up and take care of the wound first."

"I don't. Grandpa doesn't agree. My granddaughter will keep kneeling here today and won't get up until you are willing to let go and agree." Zhang Jinyue brushed away the village chief's hand and knelt down stubbornly.

"Oh, you, okay, why don't I promise you? You kid, get up quickly and bandage your wounds."

Zhang Jinxiu then stood up and followed obediently to bandage the wound.

Zhang Jinyue had been waiting for Qiu Qingquan to make the first move, so Zhang Jinxiu returned to the village before she knew what was going on.

After thinking about it based on the plot of the original work, I understood Qiu Qingquan's plan, which was to leave the matter to Zhang Jinxiu. If it were her, she would probably do the same thing. On the one hand, she would remove herself from the matter, and it would be easier to get out of the way if something went wrong. On the other hand, in the village, the village chief's words were much more effective than his, and such things as forging information As long as the person involved doesn't say anything, how can other people remember other people's information so clearly?

After the two-day college examination, Mr. Yang, as the examiner, has to participate in marking the papers, and is not allowed to have contact with the outside world until the results are out.

Therefore, Qiu Qingquan and Zhang Jinxiu should take action after the results come out, and there are still ten days left. Now that Zhang Jinxiu and the others have taken action, it's time for her to muddy the waters.

The bell rang for the end of the college examination, and all the candidates walked out of the examination room together. The white sunlight was so dazzling that it was difficult to see where their family members were.

The letters sent home for the examination were all looked at dozens of steps away from the examination room square.No matter how impatient they are, they can't make any noise in the examination room because they will be chased away by the guards guarding the door.

After the candidates walked dozens of steps, they were immediately picked up by their family members. Some of the candidates had a bad examination room number and had been exposed to the sun for two days. They all relied on perseverance to persevere and finish the examination. The atmosphere dissipated as soon as they left the examination room. , the person fainted immediately.

The candidates have finished the exam, and the examiners are starting to get busy. If they think it is excellent, they will draw a right, if they think it is acceptable, they will draw a dot, and if they feel it is not good, they will put a cross.A paper will be marked by two examiners. If they agree, the score of the paper will be determined. If there is any dispute, it will be submitted to the examiner for final judgment.

Yang Wanli had ambitions in his early years, but he had to bow his head under the pressure of reality. The staff and officials below him had already worked in his position to the age of retirement, and their mentality was as stable as an old dog.

Qiu Qingquan's particularly high-spirited article offended the examiner and he was originally going to fail. However, because the candidate's literary talent was really good, he passed the exam anyway, but his ranking was not very high.

After ten days of marking and rankings were decided, Yang Wanli did not let the candidates wait and posted the results in front of the examination room the next day.
