Thank you very much Teng Kuan for your reward!

After a lot of fun, some people were happy and some were worried. After all, there are still a small number of people who can make the list.Not far away, Tao Xingyan and Yun Zhiqiu came hand in hand, bowed to Luo Xin and said:
"Congratulations to Senior Brother Luo, Little Sanyuan."

"Congratulations!" Luo Xin saw the joy between the two people's brows, and knew that the two of them had also been selected as a scholar: "How many high school students are in the same year?"

"Class A No.7." Tao Xingyan said excitedly.

"A class eleven." Yun Zhiqiu also said excitedly.

Before Luo Xin had a word with these two people, the two people were called away by their county people.

Luo Xin looked at the more than 100 people in Yanglin County around him and asked, "How many people are in our county?"

"I won 51 places, which ranks second in the history of my Yanglin County." Someone said excitedly.

Among the more than 100 people around, those who won the list were elated, while those who failed were sad.Luo Xin is the chief case, and he is also a junior, as long as his family is not too poor, he must treat guests at this time.So he clasped his hands and said:
"Everyone is the same year, I invite everyone to drink."

At this time Zhou Yu squeezed over and said, "Brother Xin, I have made arrangements, follow me."

No matter whether it was the candidates who got the ranking or the candidates who failed the ranking, they all followed Zhou Yu to a restaurant, making a lot of noise along the way.When they came to the restaurant, Zhou Yu packed up a floor, and when the food and drinks were served, after everyone drank three times, Luo Xin stood up before everyone was drunk.As soon as he stood up, the whole floor became silent.

"Everyone, in the same year, now that the northern war is about to start, there have been Mongolian cavalry in Xuanfu, and several conflicts have occurred. Although there has not been a Mongolian cavalry on our side of Jinyang, maybe when we return to our respective hometowns From time to time, we will encounter Mongolian cavalry on the way, so we have to guard against it."

The faces of all the examinees changed. Although some people thought that Luo Xin was making alarmist remarks, who could be sure about this kind of thing?Among these people, there are 51 scholars, and the rest are all Tongsheng.They are all people with prospects, and no one wants to die under the knife of the Mongolian cavalry.

"Everyone in the same year, I think we should return together. Those who have cars and horses gather together, and those who don't have cars and horses. We jointly fund and hire some carts and guards at the car and horse dealers.

Xin believes that even if Mongolian cavalry appears, it will only be a small group of cavalry, so that it is convenient for them to come and go freely.And those of us are gathered together, and we have guards on chariots and horses. Even if we encounter Mongolian cavalry, they may not dare to rob and kill us. "

At this time, everyone's reaction is different. This is because some people's family background is rich, some people's family background is poor, and there are many people from poor family background in any age.Those people from poor families walked to Jinyang Mansion on two legs. How can they afford to hire carts and guards now?
So I felt lucky in my heart, thinking in my heart that there would be a Mongolian cavalry by such a coincidence, and I haven't seen a shadow of a Mongolian cavalry for so many days.Especially those candidates who failed the rankings were even more hesitant. They had already failed the rankings and had no money at all. Some scholars even didn't even have a penny on them, only a few copper coins left.

"I believe in Senior Brother Luo!" At this time, a wealthy candidate stood up and said, "Senior Brother Luo is not only a leader among our scholars, but also a descendant of the Luo family. He must be familiar with military books and war strategies. His analysis must be reasonable."

It was no secret in Yanglin County that Luo Xin was a descendant of Luo Yi, a famous general in the Tang Dynasty. It was well known that Luo Xin was both civil and military.Only at this time did they think of Luo Xin's family biography, and they couldn't help but become serious one by one, even those poor candidates who failed the exam felt a little uneasy.

Although they failed this time, they can make a comeback in the next session. If they meet the Mongolian cavalry and die...

They all thought this way, and you can imagine the thoughts in the minds of those candidates who won the list.A great future is waiting for them, how could they risk their lives?
Looking at the expressions of the examinees, Luo Xin knew that everyone was moved, but many of them remained silent because they had no money.So he said again:

"Everyone in the same year, we are not only of the same year, but also from the same hometown. What is the moral character of our scholars? That is to support each other. Everyone has been away for so long, and maybe the silver taels on our bodies have been spent. Why don't we spend the rest of our bodies? Put together the money and hire some carts and guards."

Luo Xin didn't say that some people's family was poor, but that everyone spent most of their money outside for a long time, which covered up the embarrassment of poor candidates.Although scholars pay attention to the righteousness of a gentleman to make money, but scholars also have the best face.If you hurt someone's face in public, not only will you not get the slightest gratitude for spending money, but you will also become enemies because of it.

After Luo Xin finished speaking, he took out 30 taels of silver and put it on the table, saying: "Everyone is in the same year, I still have 30 taels of silver here, let's all get together."

Zhou Yu stood up with a smile and said: "Everyone, Haode is also from Yanglin County. Now that he has moved to Jinyang, he can be regarded as the master. As the master, of course, he must do his best to be a landlord. I will give you 50 taels of silver."

"Thank you Senior Brother Zhou!" All the candidates clapped their hands together.

"I still have 20 taels here." Zhang Xun also took out the silver.

"I have 25 taels here."

"I have 15 taels here."

"........."

In just a short while, a few candidates from wealthy families collected more than 200 taels of silver. Zhou Yu immediately said loudly when he saw it:
"Everyone, these silver taels are enough. Let's drink here, and Haode will go and hire chariots, horses and guards for everyone."

"Brother Hao De, don't worry, let's have a drink together today." Someone said to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu then shook his head and said: "We can think of this matter, and candidates from other counties may not have thought of it. I went late, and I am afraid that even if I have money, I will not be able to hire a car and people. You can drink here first. After I finish, Come back and have a drink with everyone."

All the candidates were shocked when they heard this, they praised Zhou Yu for his thoughtfulness, and thanked Zhou Yu for going so far.Zhou Yu smiled and left.

After the money was settled and the matter settled down, Luo Xin felt relieved.And because Luo Xin's way of handling things saved their face, those scholars relaxed their mood, and soon the restaurant became lively again.After Zhou Yu returned and informed that everything was settled, the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic.

When the wine is eighty percent drunk, some people laugh wildly, some people are in pain...

Looking at the candidates in front of him, Luo Xin couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.The faces of the scholars who passed the exam were full of excitement and longing.Shout out from time to time:

"Next year, I will definitely be on the Guibang."
