Quick Transmigration: The Way of Life

Chapter 343

"But... what if you don't win?" The second child couldn't stand it anymore, and said directly: "Then, wouldn't we lose another 40 taels of silver!"

"What are you afraid of? Since I can earn 80 taels, I can earn the next 80 taels!"

When the sons heard this, they looked at each other. Although they were reluctant, the father was always the elder of the family. If they objected, it would be unfilial, so they could only admit it while pinching their noses.

After Lin Lang had these travel expenses, she often went to the owner of the bookstore, on the one hand to help him exceed the limit, and on the other hand, to buy books, because the family was poor and had nothing.

"The picture you drew last time, he was very satisfied. He asked if you would like to draw more pictures. Of course, the price is not an issue..." The bookstore owner mentioned a few words cryptically.

"But, but... I can only exchange one for you, because I still have to take the government examination, and I don't want to be distracted by other things!"

"Just one book..." Although the owner of the bookstore was heartbroken to hear that he could only draw one book, it was better to have one book than nothing at all.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye, Lin Lang packed her luggage, and joined a few scholars together on the way to take the government examination.

There was no risk at all along the way, and the group arrived in Fucheng smoothly. According to her original memory, Lin Lang didn't go to an inn, but came to a small farmyard.

One of the advantages of living in a small farmhouse is that the environment is beautiful, and the price is cheap. The only downside is that it is a bit inconvenient. It is too far from the town center, but it is quiet and suitable for scholars to live in.

Lin Lang deliberately went to the town to collect some supplies for the exam. Because the government exam was approaching, the prices of many things had increased. Fortunately, Lin Lang brought more money.

Soon it was the day of the exam, and Lin Lang lined up to check her body first. First, she undressed in a room, and let the soldiers check whether she had brought a cheat sheet. Finally, she checked where she was seated according to the lottery.

Lin Lang was lucky. She didn't live next to the stinking house. She didn't hand out the test papers on the first day, but asked everyone to write one first. The next morning, the formal test began.

After Lin Lang stayed up for three days and two nights, she finally finished the exam. When she came out, she almost collapsed on the ground.

Back at the small feast at the farmhouse, Lin Lang rested for three days. During this period, he never went out, rested in bed, and didn't even eat any food. The owner of the small farmyard thought that Lin Lang was almost dying. His face was very ugly.

Three days later, Lin Lang recovered some strength, and spent some money to ask the people in the small farmyard to help cook some porridge.

The test results will not come out until 15 days later. During this period, Linlang makes friends with some classmates, goes to see some scenery, and finally buys some things for the people at home, because there are too many things to buy. After bringing these things back, Lin Lang bought a carriage on purpose.

Fifteen days passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Lang was quite confident about her test scores, but when she saw her ranking, her face turned blue.

Although he won the Juren, he was the last one. This is impossible. After going through so many events, he knows astronomy and geography at the top. grades.

Although Lin Lang was puzzled, he finally passed the exam, and he didn't make too much trouble. Lin Lang went back after reading the results, but now that he saw his own results, he was very rude and planned to check again, but I heard that the county magistrate Linlang will entertain them, the scholars who have been promoted, and Linlang is going to see when the time comes to see how those candidates are better than herself.

In the evening of the next day, Lin Lang bought some gifts and came to the county government office. When he saw the giants, he understood why he was in the last year, because the average age of those giants was 40 to [-] years old, and only his own He is the oldest, and along the way, he has attracted many people's surprised eyes.

"Brother, I found that these candidates seem to be very young, can you answer my doubts?" Lin Lang frowned, seeing a man who was particularly good at talking, couldn't help but quarrel up.

"Oh, speaking of it, it is still related to the government's decree. His Majesty once issued an order, saying that once any adult reaches the age of 65, he must be honored, because he is getting older and his energy is not as good as before!
Therefore, the general electors should choose knowledge first. If the knowledge is good, then it depends on age, and the younger ones will be voted first, and the older ones will be ranked behind!
After all, they are so old, even if they pass the Jinshi exam, how many years can they serve the court? "

Hearing this, Lin Lang's heart turned cold. Taking part in this government examination has already exhausted most of his energy, let alone taking part in Chunwei, not to mention that he is already fifty-five this year, and there are still ten years left. Is there anyone who can climb up to the rank of first-rank official in just ten years?
Thinking of this, Lin Lang sighed, thinking that the mission would fail 100%, so she returned home in despair.

When Mrs. Li saw the carriage and the things on it, she was very happy, but when she saw her old man's distraught expression, she understood everything, and said consolingly: "Okay, if you don't pass the exam, you won't pass the exam. It's not bad to be a talent..."

"No..." Lin Lang shook her head, "I passed the exam, and now I am a Juren!"

"What? Old man, are you kidding me? If you really passed the exam, why are you so discouraged? It's fine, don't make me happy. Anyway, I never thought you could pass the exam. Let's..."

Mrs. Li hadn't finished speaking when she saw two servants coming over on horseback. They looked around and asked, "Excuse me, is Lin Lang there? He passed the government examination this time, and now he's a Juren." master!"

"What?" Mrs. Li took two steps back, truly overjoyed, she didn't expect that her old man could pass the exam, "Oh, this is, I really didn't expect that my old man could really pass the exam, really Ancestor bless..."

Lin Lang looked at the overjoyed Li Shi, shook her head, took out two taels of silver from her pocket, and handed it to the yamen servant, "You two have worked hard, take the money and go have a cup of tea!"

"Master Juren, you're being polite, we two brothers, and we don't stay here because we have official business!" The clerk didn't expect that he would get a tael of silver for each of them, so he was very happy, waved his hand, and left.

Lin Lang looked at the happy Li Shi, sighed, and said, "Okay, what's there to be happy about, it's not No.1!"

"Oh, sir, you can't say that. If you become the master of Juren, then I will be the wife of Juren. Our family can be regarded as a farming and studying family... In the future, our family can pay less tax, and more importantly, there are still many fields that are tax-free... ..."
