Soon, the time for the exam came.

The same process as the county examination was, but the inspection was more detailed and strict, and I looked through it inside and out.

Fortunately, Li Si let Taohuazhi stay in his room just in case, otherwise he would be unable to explain why there would be a Taohua tattoo on his arm.

The prefecture examination only requires three exams. The test method and county exam are similar, and it is also the postscript, the meaning of the ink and the meaning of the classics. The last one adds a poem, but the content is only broader and deeper.

However, Li Si was more experienced in this exam, so it was not difficult for him at all. However, after the exam, Li Si still felt physically and mentally exhausted. This was a phenomenon that had never happened before. As expected, no matter where he was, the exam was a very laborious thing.

Even Li Si was almost exhausted, and after going back, he slept for a day. Li Si was pretty good. As for the other people, they slept for a day and a night, while Cheng Zhuo, who was the worst in health, fainted as soon as he left the exam room.

Sure enough, exams are not only mental work, but also physical work! Li Si once again was glad that he was no longer born prematurely, otherwise he would have fainted if he was still in the exam room.

After the exam, we took several days to get off, so we are feeling relaxed now. After all, we have finished the exam. After passing the exam, we have to wait for the next year's college entrance examination. We haven't passed it, and it's useless now.

So, everyone was waiting for the announcement of the list for a few days, and they had a lot of fun. Every day, they had to go shopping in various streets in Fucheng and buy some specialties to go back. It was rare to come!

Even Li Si was influenced by them and went out several times. In addition to going shopping, he also attended a gathering of literati.

However, Li Si did not like to get along with those literati. Although they knew that Li Si was the head of the county case in Taohua County, they also knew that Taohua County had moisture in this county trial. They thought that Li Si, the head of the county case, was picked up for free, and they looked down on him in their words.

At the same time, I didn't think that Li Si would pass the exam this time, even if he could pass the exam, he would probably not be too high.

Therefore, after Li Si went there once, he felt it was boring. All the literati meetings heard compliments from each other. However, Zhao Guangliang and others were merciless, and even Cheng Zhuo, who had always been taciturn, seemed to become cheerful.

Several times afterwards, when Li Congwen and others asked Li Si to go with him, Li Si refused, on the grounds that he did not like socializing.

Several people thought that Li Si was still young after all and didn't know how to deal with such occasions. Li Si gave them the feeling that a child who stayed in the room every day to study poetry and books, so they didn't force him to go.

So Li Si was addicted to cultivation alone, but he had no resources and his own qualifications were not good, so his progress was particularly slow.

Especially recently, his cultivation has not increased at all, and he feels restless, so he has spent a lot of time practicing calligraphy in the past few days, because this can make his mind calmer and he can have better practice.

"Hey! Taohua, when will you advance at my cultivation speed?" Li Si was a little dejected. He was slowly falling in love with the feeling of cultivation, but he began to be upset that he was too slow in cultivation.

"Xiaosi, don't be too anxious, you are already good." Taohuazhi had no choice but to comfort Li Si dryly.

Taohuazhi and Li Si have been together for so long and have feelings for each other. And it also hopes that Li Si can advance earlier, but she has no choice. She is a little bit surprised that she didn't pay much attention to these human cultivation things in the world of cultivation, and now she doesn't understand anything.

The day of the results was soon to be released. Everyone got together early this morning, but this time they planned to send two literate servants to read the list.

Who made them have nothing to do here? Even if you can’t book an ordinary private room, you can only wait at home, but it’s better to wait at home, at least you don’t have to crowd out people.

However, except for Li Si, the others seemed very anxious. Everyone gathered in the main hall and paced back and forth in the room.

Even Li Congwen and Zhao Guangliang, who were not sure, looked anxious. They were still lucky. What if they passed the exam?

Time passed slowly in their anxiety, because Li Dahai and Li Dashan ran to the gate from time to time to look forward to it, so when they heard the two of them yelling, "I'm back, I'm back", everyone was excited.

"Grandpa, did I win?" Li Congwen, who had always been a little weak, rushed up first, grabbed Li Dahai's hand, and was very excited.

"What? I don't know yet!" Li Dahai was also very excited and pulled one of the people behind him to look at the list, "Come on, come on, tell everyone, have you all won?"

The servant whom Li Dashan was pulling on the other side was also pushed forward. Facing more than a dozen pairs of bright eyes, the legs of both of them were shaking.

Fortunately, this job is a good thing, and one of the brave servants quickly stepped forward to explain: "Congratulations to all the masters, young masters, all of our young masters have passed the exam this time!"

"What?"

"real?"

"I really passed the exam?"

"I actually won? Haha! Tell me quickly, who am I ranked first?"

"Oh! My good grandson! It's really a blessing from our ancestors!"

"Haha! That's great, me, I..."

...

Although Li Si was also very happy, he never regarded this mansion as a goal, so he smiled calmly.

After everyone's emotions stabilized, everyone continued to ask about the rankings of the people. You should know that there are differences before and after the rankings.

Sure enough, the result was pretty good. This time Li Si did not pass the top spot, but took the third place. Everyone felt it was a pity, but Li Si knew that it was because he did not put all his thoughts on the exam, and he didn't feel it was a pity, just be on the list.

What everyone did not expect was that Li Congwen, who was the last in the county exam, actually ranked fifteenth, which made him so happy that he was so happy that he was very satisfied. Cheng Zhuo, who ranked tenth in the county exam before, did a good job this time, and ranked 14th. Judging from his happy face, he knew that he was quite satisfied.

Bai Fengyang ranked 33rd, Wang Weisheng ranked 39th, but Zhao Guangliang ranked at the end of the list again, ranking second to last, forty-fourth.

Forty-four, Zhao Guangliang was a little shady after hearing this at first. This number is not very auspicious! But he was also very worried. Later, he thought that no matter which place he ranked, it would be better than not passing the exam!

Sure enough, after thinking about this, Zhao Guangliang finally became happy and was having fun with everyone.

The group stayed in the city for another two days. Because the ones on the list were already Tong Sheng, they had to attend some banquets. This time Li Si had to go there, and he couldn't avoid it, especially since he passed the third place at a young age, so it was still very eye-catching.
