Chapter 181: Bracelet exchanged for horn comb

"call!"

Huang Tinghui breathed a long sigh of relief, and the test paper was full of Junxiu's handwriting.

It is not an easy task to hold a brush for a long time and concentrate on writing on the test paper.

The key is not that his hands are sore, but that Huang Tinghui must ensure that there will be no mistakes or omissions or smearing on the test paper.

Good-looking writing is an unwritten rule for getting good grades in the imperial examination.

In the imperial examination, no big shot would think of a person with graffiti all over the test paper as Sanding Jia.

Although the requirements for the county examination are not that strict, Huang Tinghui cannot relax his requirements for himself because of this.

After all, Huang Tinghui's goal cannot be just a county examination.

Even Tongsheng, Xiucai, and Huang Tinghui felt that they could not live up to the old patriarch and their own teachers.

Outside the examination room, the rain was still falling.

Huang Tinghui placed the test paper full of words on the case and waited for the writing on the test paper to dry completely.

After the words were a little dry, Huang Tinghui raised his head and found that the scholars in the examination room were still working hard.

At this time, Huang Tinghui felt like he was dreaming of going back to high school. Generally, only top students and bad students could finish the exam early.

The top student is because the questions are simple and he can solve them in minutes.

As for the bad student, it is because he knows the words on the test paper, but when these words are put together, he does not know what the answer is.

Huang Tinghui doesn't know whether he is a top student or a scumbag at the moment.

A cheating academic?

Or is it the kind where the county boss leaks the questions in advance?

Huang Tinghui, who had nothing to do and was thinking wildly, decided not to wait any longer.

I saw Huang Tinghui holding the test paper and standing up.

Although Huang Tinghui had tried his best to restrain himself when he stood up, he still attracted everyone's attention.

Is this done?

All the scholars looked at Huang Tinghui's figure and thought one after another.

The look he looked at Huang Tinghui was like that of later generations admiring a scholar.

Huang Tinghui received everyone's attention and walked towards the county master Chen Sizhi.

"Huh?" Chen Sizhi raised his head and glanced at Huang Tinghui, but then nodded and said, "Have you finished the inspection?"

"The county examination is the first part of the imperial examination. If it gets into my eyes, the test paper cannot be taken back!"

Chen Sizhi reminded.

"Master County, the examination of the late students has been completed!"

Huang Tinghui presented the test paper to the county master Chen Sizhi, and he said respectfully.

"That's good!"

Chen Sizhi took the test paper from Huang Tinghui's hand, and he didn't shy away from it and started reviewing it directly.

For those candidates taking the county examination, the county magistrate has the power of life and death.

The name-blinding test is only available for higher-level imperial examinations.

Therefore, the county magistrate Chen Sizhi did not care at all about reviewing the papers in court.

"You go down first!"

"Get ready for the next one!" County Master Chen Sizhi waved to Huang Tinghui.

"Yes!" Huang Tinghui said to the county master Chen Sizhi.

Then he quietly backed out.

At this time, there was no one outside the examination room.

It's not the scholars who took the exam, their families didn't have any concerns about the exam.

It's just that the rain was too heavy, so they all found shelter on the eaves to avoid the drifting rain.

At this time, only Huang Tinghui walked out of the examination room.

Everyone thought the exam was over, but an experienced family member gave a reminder.

At this time, everyone who was waiting finally understood.

It's still a long time before the exam ends.

"Who is this? How come such an important exam is handed in so quickly? He must be a bastard who failed the exam!"

"You don't even know him, but he stole the show at the lantern riddle party."

"At the lantern riddle party, are you talking about Mr. Huang Xiaolang?"

"It's Mr. Huang Xiaolang!"

After everyone's discussion, everyone who thought Huang Tinghui was a bastard in the exam room suddenly changed their expressions.

After all, Huang Tinghui is a well-known talent in the eyes of the people in Ruian County!

Isn't it normal for a talented scholar to hand in his paper early?

"As expected of a talented man, if that useless guy in my family could be half as powerful as Mr. Huang Xiaolang, I would be willing to live ten years shorter!"

"Not to mention losing ten years of my life, even if I am asked to spend all my wealth, I am still willing!"

For a time, the style of painting changed suddenly.

Everyone actually started to praise Huang Tinghui for handing in his paper early.

Huang Tinghui naturally didn't know everyone's comments and evaluations.

He opened his oil-paper umbrella to block the drifting rain.

Before coming to take the exam, Huang Tinghui made an appointment with the little girl. After the little girl finished praying at Chong'en Temple, she would wait for Huang Tinghui near the exam room as soon as possible.

However, Huang Tinghui handed in the paper in advance, and the little girl had not had time to come back at this time.

Looking at the pouring rain, Huang Tinghui now hoped that the little girl would not be stubborn and ran over in spite of the heavy rain.

But thinking about it, it's impossible to make the little girl not be so stubborn.

Because if the little girl is not so stubborn, she will no longer be a little girl.

Huang Tinghui smiled helplessly and walked aside.

There are many shops near the examination room. Huang Tinghui can choose a gift for the little girl and prepare a small surprise while she is still away.

Holding an oil-paper umbrella, Huang Tinghui found a place selling various small items.

Under the pouring rain, the boss was sitting leisurely in the shop.

Seeing Huang Tinghui walking into the shop, the young boss quickly stood up and said, "My guest, my guest, what do you want to buy?"

The little boss greeted warmly.

"Let me take a look!" Huang Tinghui said to the little boss.

After looking around the small store, Huang Tinghui quickly discovered something he liked very much.

"Boss, how do you sell this comb?"

Huang Tinghui looked at the boss and asked.

"Twenty cents, this is a fine horn comb!"

"Your Majesty, you have such a good eye, you actually picked this thing right away."

Hearing the little boss's compliment, Huang Tinghui just smiled.

He liked this thing very much and didn't care about the price of the horn comb.

Huang Tinghui touched himself and found that he had forgotten to bring his money bag when taking the imperial examination.

With a wry smile on his face, Huang Tinghui could only say to the shop owner, "Store boss, I am a candidate taking the county examination!"

“I was in a hurry this morning and forgot to bring my money with me!”

"What do you think of this bracelet of mine? The boss is a man who knows the goods. I will keep this bracelet with the boss for now."

"How about bringing money to redeem this bracelet tomorrow?"

Huang Tinghui spent half his life buying this bracelet from the market, and it is something he plays with on his hands every day.

The little girl once complained to Huang Tinghui dissatisfiedly that since Huang Tinghui had this string of beads, he had spent a lot less time with her.

Huang Tinghui also didn't expect that today he would use this string of beads, which made the little girl jealous, as a mortgage in this shop.

When making this suggestion, Huang Tinghui did not hesitate at all.

It's nothing more than a string of beads, so just lose it and look for it later.

Huang Tinghui did not feel it was a pity.
