The wing room prepared for Liu Qing in the courtyard was empty, and all the items in it were newly purchased. The bed and desk were complete, and also told second aunt to let Zhang Erlang live in it first.

After Chen Nianguan washed up, he set meals in the main room and ate with Zhang Erlang.

The food was just brought back from the food box in the pho shop, two servings of fried rice noodles, a pot of broth, one serving of char siu and one serving of roast duck, very rich.

After a short rest after using it, Zhang Erlang put away the bowls and took the initiative to wash them.

Chen Nianguan felt relieved and went back to his room.

Not long after, Mr. Zeng Si came to the door.

Knowing that the students from Qingyun Academy arrived in Prefecture City today, and knowing that Zhang Erlang didn’t stay at the inn, he probably stayed in Liuhua Lane——Chen Nianguan asked his second brother to find the yard at the beginning, and even the lease was handled by him.So come here immediately to find Zhang Erlang.

Mr. Zeng Si wanted to ask Zhang Erlang to go around the Prefecture City together, to learn about the situation of the students from various counties who came to the Prefecture City to take the exam.

Chen Nianguan just happened to be free, and her current main task is to accompany the exam, and she is also interested in rushing for the exam that is different from her modern situation, so she also went out with Zhang Erlang and Zeng Sigong.

Speaking of which, I have been to Prefecture City so many times, because I am busy opening stores, so I have never wandered around.

When went out today, Chen Nianguan discovered that there were many students in the streets of the Prefecture City, in the tea shops and inns.

After all, Chuzhou Prefecture is not Funing County. Except for the local students from Prefecture City, students from more than a dozen counties in the jurisdiction are now here, so there are naturally more people.

Chen Nianguan watched these high-spirited students talking, and he couldn't help becoming excited.

When found a teahouse to rest and drink tea, heard many scholars who looked like scholars debating, and at the same time, the students at the next table were talking about listening to books and betting on questions.

"What is listening to the book?" Chen Nianguan asked puzzled.

It turns out that this is a business born out of exams.

Generally, the seniors who have passed the exam will give the students special lessons according to the scope of the exam questions over the years. One session is half a day, and each is 250 yuan.

It is also equivalent to what Chen Nianguan knows about the range of questions that the lecturer plans before the big exam.

The scope of the lectures and professors must be accurate, but don’t know if these seniors????? The questions in class are accurate.

So Chen Nianguan asked Zhang Erlang if he would go with Zeng Si?

Whether it is accurate or not, it is always right to listen more!

Two hundred and fifty Wen, to her now, is not expensive at all.

Zhang Erlang shook his head with a smile, saying that Master Cen and Master Fan Shan also gave them a few days of special lessons for the more than 20 students who took the exam this time.Bet on the question and determined several directions.

Since Master Cen and Fan Shan have long pressed questions, why bother to listen to the lectures given by people of unknown origin outside?

Chen Nianguan was not aware of it.

While drinking two cups of tea in the teahouse, it was almost dark that day, Master Zeng said goodbye to them, and Chen Nianguan and Zhang Erlang returned to the Chenjia Hor Noodle Shop.

It just so happened that the shop was dealing with the last wave of diners, the other side of the siu mei shop was closed early, and Aunt Chen was saying she was going to take a leave of absence.

These few days Shen Fan also has to prepare for the exam, probably to help his son prepare for the exam, the little uncle is the shopkeeper and cannot leave, so Aunt Chen can only go alone.

Chen Nianguan naturally agreed.

Doesn't she want to accompany Zhang Erlang?

After the group of people had dinner in the store, when they closed and went back to Liuhua Lane together, Liu Feng talked about his eldest brother, patted Zhang Erlang on the shoulder and said, "Second brother Zhang, take the test well, when the time comes, my brother and I willLet's take the college exam together, and one of the scholars will come back."

Liu Qing has already passed the county and government exams, and is planning to take the college exams this year.

Zhang Erlang smiled and nodded.

The next day, Chen Nianguan still dressed up as a boy, and sent Zhang Erlang to the inn where the students of Qingyun Academy were staying.

This time, she inevitably met Chen Nianjian and Chen Feng who accompanied her son to the exam.

When Chen Feng saw Chen Nianguan, he didn't dare to go up to say hello, his eyes were evasive, so Chen Nianguan naturally didn't want to talk to him.

Instead, Chen Nianjian graciously called Chen Nianguan and Zhang Erlang, exchanged a few pleasantries, which was awkward for each other, and quickly walked away with Chen Feng to talk to other students.

After taking the first examination in Zhongxian County, Chen Nianjian's situation in the academy has improved a lot. He has a cheerful personality and gets along well with the students around him, and he doesn't have to worry about no one to guarantee him.

The masters of Qingyun Academy helped to find the endowed students who were the guarantees for the government examination.

Qingyun Academy has been in operation for many years, and there are quite a few students who have passed the exam, so Mr. Cen also found the former students early, and settled down the things that the students wanted to guarantee.

When was in the teahouse yesterday, Chen Nianguan heard that the inns in Chuzhou city were overcrowded because of the proximity of the government examination, and some students had to rent at high prices in the yards of local people.

Qingyun Academy is thoughtful in everything from hiring guards in Funing County to send students to Prefecture City, to booking hotels early, and finding guarantor students for students..

Then he followed Mr. Cen to the government office. After queuing up for the exam, he waited for the day after tomorrow to play.

When Chen Nianguan followed Zhang Erlang and Zeng Si to gossip at the inn where the students gathered, he made a new discovery.

It turned out that at this time, some people would gamble with the students with the heads of cases in various counties, betting on which student would stand out in this government examination and come out on top.

In the last county examination, the top ten students in more than a dozen counties were registered for customers to choose and place bets. As for the name of the head of the desk, a special sign was made and stood in the hall.

Chen Nianguan saw the name of his third brother Chen Nianjian on one of the signs, and couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Erlang lowered his head and watched her raise an eyebrow.

"Erlang, it's a pity that I don't have your name, otherwise I would definitely bet on you." Chen Nianguan whispered.

"You don't bet on Chen San?"

Chen Nianguan looked at him, shook his head, and waved his hands, "Gambling is not good!"

Gambling badly but betting on yourself?

Zhang Erlang secretly felt that he was particularly happy in her heart, but saw that Zeng Si beside him found his name in the booklet, and then gave himself and Chen Nianjian a tael of silver respectively.

This Zeng Si!

Is it too expensive to buy jerky with sauce for 130 cents?It is generous when betting at the moment.

Chen Nianguan glanced contemptuously at Zeng Si, but Zeng Si pretended not to see it.

"Hey, here, who are you betting on? Let's forget about Zeng Jiaxuan, why are you still betting on Chen Nianjian?" Someone in the betting crowd shouted.

"Why is it fine to bet on Zeng Jiaxuan, but it's even more wrong to bet on Chen Nianjian?" Chen Nianguan was surprised, "Isn't he the case in Funing County?"

Zeng Si, oh, Zeng Si's original name was Zeng Jiaxuan, he was the fifth in Funing County, and his third brother was the first. Why did they say it was strange that they beat the third brother to be the number one?

"This Funing County case leader, first of all, is not well-known. I don't know where he came from. I heard that the Chen family's family style is not good. Maybe he used some means to get the case leader! Again,Even if he didn't play tricks, I heard that this year he was the first time to be a reference, right? Maybe it's because of luck that he did so well in the exam. With so many unstable factors, you still take one or two so many bets that he will win the first place.? Such a big deal, be careful not to lose your money.”

"That's right, I also suspect that this person's case is unknown!"

Some people talked about it, and there was a lot of discussion about Chen Nianjian being the first case in Funing County.

Chen Nianguan was listening, and suddenly fell silent.

Zhang Erlang glanced at her, made eye contact with Zeng Si, and led her out of the betting inn, while the people behind were still shouting:

"Anyway, I don't want to suppress this person. The person who wants to get the first place may be able to pass the exam, but it will take a lot of work! Chuzhou's government office is not like the small government office in Funing County.Take the first place."

"Isn't that right? Prefecture City has gathered so many county chiefs. If he is not elected, there are still fourteen candidates for us to choose. Come, come!"

...

The inn continued to be noisy.

If hadn't personally been to the place where the students gathered and watched the excitement in this inn, really didn't know that the incident of going to court last year had such a great impact on Chen Nianjian.

Chen Nianguan was silent.

Who is to blame?

Chen Nianguan thought of the attentive and considerate Chen Feng who followed up with Chen Nianjian today, and he clicked his tongue, but didn't take it to heart.

But she didn't know that after sending her back to the Chenjia rice noodles shop, when Zhang Erlang and Zeng Si went to contact other students again, in another inn that opened bets, Zhang Erlang took two taels of silver to bet in one breath, pressing Chen Nianjian to take the lead.

Chen Nianjian was affected by his family tradition, and his ranking was not very good. The betting situation was the second to last in the first column of the case, and the odds were as high as 1 to 20.

At this time, when everyone saw Zhang Erlang's appearance as a student, and he was not a rich man in his clothes, they all thought he was stupid to buy Chen Nianjian with two taels of silver to win the first place.

Ordinary people place bets, and rarely choose the low-ranked ones. Even if they do, they only bet a few hundred dollars to spread the risk, but suddenly a thorny head pops up to make all-or-nothing bets.

How dare this man!

"Tsk tsk, Zhang Erlang, do you have so much confidence in Chen San?" Zeng Si was unconvinced, "You dare to overwhelm him, why don't you bet on me?"

Zhang Erlang looked at Zeng Sidao inscrutablely, "You don't understand, this time, you have no chance."

"How is it possible?" Zeng Si was unconvinced, hesitated for a while, half-believing, "Really?"

"What do we call Chen San on weekdays?"

"Desperate Saburo!" Zeng Si shook his head, "But so what if you work hard? Will you be able to get the case again if you work hard?"

"I have confidence in him, but I lack a little confidence in you." Zhang Erlang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "So, I won't pressure you." Not only did he not pressure Zeng Si, but he also went to Prefecture City to open a betThe taverns and gambling houses went around, and each house bet two or two to diversify their investments, so as not to attract too many people's attention.

"Hmph!" Zeng Shiro dismissed him.

As for the person involved, Chen Nianjian, along with Shen Fan, has been in the various inns and tea shops in the Prefecture City to learn about the situation of the reference students in the past two days, and naturally saw his own brand for everyone to bet on.

Seeing such a low ranking, such high odds, and hearing the cynicism from others, his face twitched, and then he regained his composure.

"Cousin!" Shen Fan watched from the side, worried.

"It's okay!" Chen Nianjian said that he didn't need to care.

When County Magistrate Huang appointed himself as the head of the case, he should have anticipated today's scene and reminded himself, so Chen Nianjian was already mentally prepared.

What did he study hard for the past two months?

It is to get a good ranking in the government examination in the future and to justify his name.

After thinking for a while, Chen Nianjian stepped forward and bet himself a tael of silver.

Everyone was in an uproar.

This is already the third person who bet on the little-known but stigmatized Funing County case.

Could it be that there is something really special about the chief of the case in Funing County?

Those with good deeds asked why Chen Nianjian had confidence in the Funing County chief?

Chen Nianjian remained indifferent, so the good-for-nothing guessed: "This person may be a relative of the Funing County case chief. Seeing that he is clearly the number one but has no cards in our game, he is cheering for him."

"That's right, where's the courage?"

Shen Fan was also dumbfounded: "Cousin? You..."

"Don't worry, I have confidence in myself."

For the first place on the list, Chen Nianjian is determined to win.

I will continue to work hard!!
