After Wen Dengke returned home, he immediately started to study. There were still a few days before the first day of next month. Although he did not need to be a few days to get a sharpening of his gun in the past few days, it is still useful to be able to seize the time to review all the books he had read.

The old couple of the Wen family were relieved when they saw their son studying hard. It was a very hard thing for them to grow vegetables and sell vegetables every day, but if their son could have a bright future, they would be satisfied and could bear it no matter how hard they worked.

During these days, other scholars have also visited Wen Dengke, probably wanting to inquire about the exam.

Because Wen Dengke did not enter the county school, he was not a student in the county school, and there were many scholars who could not enter the county school. There were very few sources of information, so he could only ask each other, but in fact, no one knew the situation very well.

No one understands the situation, so he can only guess each other randomly. Some people have some ideas, so they bravely go to the scholars in the county schools to ask for advice, but the county schools do not know very well, and they can't say a little.

So, some people suspected the people in the county school and thought they did not tell them on purpose, so as not to get good results in the exam.

Wen Dengke comforted them that if the people in the county school deliberately blocked the news and did not tell them the actual situation, it means that the people in the county school are already timid, which means that the students in the county school are not good at studying, so they are afraid of competing with them. If we make inferences from this aspect, then the chances of these people being able to win are actually very high.

After being comforted by Wen Dengke, the scholars who could not enter the county school felt very balanced, and instantly gained strength for no reason. They immediately ran home to study, swearing that they must surpass those students in the county school and must achieve better results than them in this exam.

On the last day of this month, in order to relax his mind, Wen Dengke went to the field to work with his parents, and then pushed the vegetables into the city and sold vegetables with his parents. He also delivered half a truckload of vegetables to the kitchens of two wealthy families in the city. He even chatted with the chef for a while and had a very fulfilling day.

After returning home in the evening, Wen Dengke took a shower, then sat behind his desk and closed his eyes to rest. He roughly sorted out the books he had read over the years. After doing all this, he fell asleep.

Xudong Town is not far from the county town, so Wen Dengke did not choose to live in the city. He had considered going to live in the city before, but he thought that if he entered the city, he would definitely have to change places to sleep. If he lived in the same room with another person, then if another person had some bad living habits, such as snoring while sleeping, he would not have a good rest. If he did not have a good rest, how would he take the exam the next day? The test scores would inevitably be affected.

So Wen Dengke decided to spend the night at his home, and then get up earlier the next day and go to the city to wait earlier, so that he can maintain his energy and physical strength to the greatest extent and strive to get the best results during the exam.

The next day, before dawn, Wen Dengke got up early, and the old couple of Wen's family got up even earlier. They had already prepared breakfast and were waiting for their son to get up.

Wen Dengke calmly ate breakfast first, then washed and brushed his teeth. After doing all this, he happily carried the four treasures of the study issued from the county government. Accompanied by the old couple of the Wen family, he walked into the county town.

The old couple of Wen's family sent their son to the examination room. The three of them didn't speak on the way. But when they arrived at the city gate, Old Man Wen said: "Son, after you enter the examination room, you can answer the answer the same way. There is no need to make things difficult for yourself. Our family can still live, our parents can do work, and they can support you for a few more years. Even if you don't get well this time, it doesn't matter. Let's come again next time!"

However, Aunt Wen scolded him and said, "How could my son not do well in the exam? Don't listen to your father's words about these unlucky words. If you enter the exam room and take the exam well, you will definitely be better than others, and you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself!"

At this time, the city gate had just opened, and the three of Wen's family entered the city together. After they arrived at the county government office, the old couple of Wen's family separated from Wen Dengke. Wen Dengke entered the county government office to prepare for the exam.

Li Rizhi also got up early. After she finished washing up, she did not eat breakfast immediately. Instead, she stood there in the second hall. He planned to see when the students arrived.

Because the time for the exam is not early, the candidates do not need to come here to queue up early. However, the order in which the candidates come to the examination room can also show their importance to this exam.

After looking at it for a while, Li Rizhi found that the candidates who arrived early were basically those scholars who had not entered the county school.

From the perspective of the county magistrate, the level of these scholars who have not entered the county school should be relatively poor. If the level is not bad, then they should be able to enter the county school.

But this is just from the perspective of the county magistrate, that is, from the official perspective, from the top down. But in fact, the family situation of each scholar is different, so even if the county school conditions are better, it may not necessarily attract every scholar to study.

Of course, the more important thing is that from the perspective of scientific research, the county school at this time does not have much advantage. On the contrary, most of the students in it are children of wealthy families. The quota they want is actually the quota under the recommendation system.

People in this era have not seen that the recommendation system is about to end, and the entire society is about to enter the scientific research era, just as they could not foresee that Empress Wu would become an emperor in the future.

Only when the scientific examination system is so popular that the importance of county schools will be reflected. At that time, scholars would squeeze their heads and want to squeeze into county schools, but there is no one yet.

Li Rizhi asked the servants to send meals to the candidates who arrived first, so that the candidates could enter the examination room first. Those who arrived first could choose a seat first. After choosing a seat, they could eat in the seat.

This is a kind of preferential treatment for the candidates who arrive first.

After about two quarters of an hour, the students from the county school arrived one after another. These students basically had good family conditions, at least they were rich.

And most students think that their level is not bad. At least they collectively despise candidates who are not county schools, and believe that candidates like Wen Dengke are all wild ways, and what future can scholars with wild ways have?

A moment before the prescribed examination time was set, Li Rizhi ordered the door to close. Even if any candidates came, they would not be allowed to come in.

The county government office in Qianfeng County is newly built and the place is very spacious. Li Rizhi took out an entire side courtyard to serve as an examination room for the candidates. There were about 300 candidates, and less than 400 people.

However, in terms of age, candidates are still young, such as those over fifties are basically gone, and there are very few candidates over forty.

Most candidates are around 20 or 30 years old, and of course there are also those who are at their fifteen or sixteen years old.
