On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

The examiners of the county examination were working overtime to mark the test papers. Not only were the test questions of this year's county examination biased, but the questions were also very difficult, so the test papers submitted were not satisfactory.

Many students cannot even write down the simplest dictation, let alone explain the meaning and elaborate on the arguments and opinions!

Most of the arguments in the exam papers are full of generalities, and some of the ideas seem stupid and naive!

If we really rely on these unproductive students to solve the drought with the above methods, I am afraid that these measures will force the people into a desperate situation before the drought even comes!

In this case, when the examiner sees a test paper with clear views, sufficient arguments and meaningful content in front of him, he will feel his eyes light up!

Although it is a bit mechanical, it is still the best among all the articles!

After all the examiners had read it, someone suggested, "Quickly find this person's poems and have a look at them!"

The county examinations at that time were not anonymous. This system of sealing the names only appeared in more rigorous imperial examinations, such as the provincial examinations and the metropolitan examinations.

Therefore, all the examiners who have just circulated the test papers know who wrote this article!

Everyone searched for a while, and suddenly someone shouted, "Found it!"

The other examiners on the side came forward one after another, wanting to see how this person's poetry and essay were. If nothing unexpected happened, the person who would take the first place in the first county examination would be this student!

The examiners who were just gathering together to look at the poems and essays did not say a word for a long time.

The people who were sitting a little further away couldn't help but urge, "Hey, how about you guys tell us something?"

The examiner passed the test paper in his hand and said with regret: "What a pity, this poem is just a bit mediocre!"

The other examiners took a look at the papers and nodded in approval, "I have two poems here, they are very well done, you can take a look!" After that, they handed over the test papers of Song Zhi and Chen Mingyuan.

So everyone started to circulate it and comment on it!

Originally, Chen Yunyou could have won first place based on that essay, but his poems and essays were just mediocre and lacked some quality.

The examiners began to have different opinions on who would get first place!

Some people support Chen Yunyou, after all, his arguments are the most brilliant and meaningful!

Some people also support Song Zhi. Although his articles are not as good as Chen Yunyou's, his poems and essays are good!

Compared to the fierce competition between the two, Chen Mingyuan was excluded from the competition early on. Although his poems and essays were pretty good, his writing was not even as good as Song Zhi's, so he had no qualifications to compete with the two!

Just when no one could convince anyone, County Magistrate Zhou came over and said, "Everyone, have you finished marking the test papers? Has the first place in this year's first round been decided?"

An examiner came forward with two papers and said, "Sir, please take a look at these two papers first."

County Magistrate Zhou raised his hand to take the test paper and saw Chen Yunyou's test paper at a glance.

He paused, then read the two people's articles calmly.

This also explains why a small peasant girl could have such insights.

Zhou Ling originally planned to make friends with such a talented person who was willing to help him solve his problems and give him some support.

In addition, his essay was indeed well written, so there would be no problem even if the test paper was made public.

Magistrate Zhou then put down the test paper in his hand and asked, "Who do you think will win the first place in this county exam?"

"Chen Yunyou's article is well-written and meaningful, but his poetry is a little worse. Song Zhi's article is slightly inferior, but his poetry is excellent!"

"We can't make up our minds at the moment, please make the decision, sir!"

"Let's pick Chen Yunyou. This guy's writing is concise and his views are clear. It's rare for him to stand out among all these students. He should be the first!"

The argument just now was mainly about expressing one's own opinions, but now that someone has made the final decision, no one has any objections.

After all, Chen Yunyou's articles were indeed well written, and the weight of his poems was not great, so the candidate for the top spot was decided!

Two days passed in a flash, and soon it was the day for the announcement of the results.

Early in the morning, after washing up, the couple was planning to go to the county town to see the sunset!

"The results will be announced today. Are you nervous?" Song Xile asked her husband who was drinking porridge leisurely across from her.

Chen Yunyou shook his head. "I still have some confidence, but I may not rank too high!"

Although he chose a poem that was not outstanding and did not get first place, he was not eliminated!

When Chen Yunyou said this, he carefully looked up at his wife's face. Seeing that she looked normal and did not show any disappointment, he breathed a sigh of relief!

It's ridiculous to say that others were trying every means to get the top spot in the county examination, but he deliberately concealed his ability in order to avoid the suspicion of the first wife!

Song Xile comforted him, "That's great! The requirements are not high, we just need to pass the county exam successfully!"

Chen Yunyou was originally in a gloomy mood, but because of his wife's words of comfort, the clouds cleared and the moon appeared!

The temporary compromise is to accumulate strength, he will not let his wife down!

At this time, Song Xile did not notice her husband's little thoughts. After finishing breakfast, they went out together!

Originally, Mr. Chen wanted Chen Yunyou and Chen Mingyuan to go together, but Chen Mingyuan was unwilling, and the couple took their time and didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

In the end, Chen Mingyuan left early with her mother and sister!

By the time the two arrived at the gate of the county government office, there was already a huge crowd of people outside, surrounded by a group of students.

Song Xile, who was standing on the outskirts of the crowd, looked at the scene and backed out. "Yun You, there are too many people here. Let's go to the teahouse and sit there and come back later!"

Chen Yunyou also had the same idea in his mind. He knew that he would not get the first place, but he was still confident that he could pass the county exam. So he nodded, and the couple turned around and left.

As soon as the two of them were away from the crowd, a high-pitched voice called out to Chen Yunyou, "Yunyou, Yunyou is here, come up quickly, I have reserved a spot here!"

The two raised their heads and looked in the direction where the voice came from, only to see Qian Feng half leaning out of the teahouse, waving at them excitedly.

Soon, a breathless servant came running over and said to the two men with a big smile on his face, "Mr. Chen, our young master wants to see you!"
