Quick Transmigration: The Love Rescue Plan

Chapter 147 Dragon Travels the World (6)

How should I put it? We consider Shunan Prefecture as a large school in the city, with primary, junior high and senior high school sections.

Yang Linxin, a student at the school, ranked first in the city in the entrance exam for junior high school.

Then, when he was about to enter high school, he ranked first in the city.

Finally, in the college entrance examination, Principal Shun'an became a grader. Yang Linxin's scores were almost the same as the second-place student, except that the essay score had not yet been released.

How do you think the principal will grade it?

The essay was already quite good; if he had just relaxed a little, not only would he have produced a top scorer in the city's college entrance examination, but he would have also achieved the brilliant result of ranking first in three important exams.

The opportunity was right in front of the principal; how could he not be tempted?

It can be said that in any prefecture, as long as a candidate ranks first in both the provincial and prefectural examinations, the prefect will not let go of the opportunity to achieve the "Triple Crown".

Don't think that getting the top three honors in the provincial and prefectural examinations is easy just because there are behind-the-scenes deals involved. You have to rely on your own abilities to get first place in the provincial and prefectural examinations first. Only if you get first place twice will the prefect take notice of you!

The county examination consisted of four sessions, and the results were announced two days later. The results were recorded on the examination papers, but no ranking or names of the candidates were written on them.

Each exam filters out those who will take the next exam. After the fourth exam, all the exam papers are unsealed. At this point, cases are filed using names, and the first person to file a case is the top suspect.

If the county-level examinations were already like this, the prefectural-level examinations were even worse. The number of students receiving government stipends was one more than the number of students taking the county-level examinations. This was to prevent these students from accepting bribes and helping other candidates cheat.

Those who passed the provincial examination became scholars, thus gaining official rank and entering the scholar-official class.

Scholars who passed the imperial examinations were exempt from corvée labor, were not required to kneel before the prefect, and were not subject to arbitrary torture.

The "Linsheng" in the "Linbao" system refers to the top-performing scholars in the county-level examinations. They are called "Linsheng" because the state provides them with monthly rations and they can act as guarantors for scholars in the county and prefectural examinations, ensuring that they are not involved in any dishonest or fraudulent activities.

Therefore, Yang Linxin's identity as the future Little Three Scholars is basically confirmed, and it is understandable that the five of them celebrate in advance.

Dong Xiaoli was simply curious about what had happened during this time that caused Yang Linxin's mindset to change.

[Ding, Yang Linxin's favorability -5, current total favorability 45] Yingying is numb and stays in the system space, no longer coming out to worry.

Dong Xiaoli chuckled and shook her head. Shattering and rebuilding one's worldview is not so easy. It will probably take a few more days for this favorability rating to fluctuate.

Dong Xiaoli simply asked Yingying to block the favorability indicator for the time being, and returned to the tea room looking at the pot of tea that had been brewed with some regret.

It seems Yang Linxin won't be able to drink the tea brewed with the spring water today.

Dong Xiaoli simply handed the teapot to Uncle Li, who was busy at work, and said, "I don't know what's wrong with Little Star today, she's not in a good mood, so we probably won't be able to drink this tea. Uncle Li, you can have this instead."

Uncle Li hesitated and did not answer.

Dong Xiaoli said with a smile, "It's alright. If the tea gets cold and you reheat it, it will affect the taste. If he wants to drink it, I might as well brew a new pot of tea later."

Uncle Li then accepted it and thanked him.

It wasn't that Dong Xiaoli was stingy and unwilling to give Uncle Li the tea with the added spring water; after all, she only used one drop each time she brewed tea, which was quite enough.

Uncle Li refused. After all, tea is a rare commodity in this world, and not something that ordinary people can afford.

It wasn't that Dong Xiaoli was extravagant and insisted on buying tea, but rather that given Dong Xiaoli's status, it was impossible for her to cook like Dong Ping.

Therefore, the Immortal Spring Water can only be given to Yang Linxin through other methods. The Immortal Spring Water can cleanse the marrow and strengthen the body, and it can also make people clear-headed and peaceful.

Yang Linxin was indeed exceptionally intelligent, but in order to pass the county and prefectural examinations at the tender age of fourteen, in addition to his personal talent, the spring water also played a supporting role.

Putting aside everything else, during the county examination, Yang Linxin had bad luck and his seat number was close to the worst possible number.

Dong Xiaoli dared to say that if it weren't for the fairy spring water improving his physical condition, Yang Linxin would have fallen ill after his first exam.

Didn't you hear what Yang Linxin said himself?

The examinee who sat not far from him followed Yang Linxin and the others out of the examination hall. As soon as he came out, he vomited for a long time and then fainted. After being helped home by his servants, he fell seriously ill and was unable to participate in the second round of the examination.

Honestly, Dong Xiaoli didn't know about the "stinky number" system. If she had known, she would have definitely pulled off a whole cover-up before the yamen (government office) assigned the numbers.

It is estimated that Yang Linxin was also greatly motivated. He worked hard in the following exams. At that time, he never thought that he would be the top scorer. He only thought that he must be in the top ten in the county exam, so that he could take the prefectural exam separately and not have to worry about being unlucky and having to take the exam near the bad exam hall.

Dong Xiaoli never expected that she and Yang Linxin would have such a connection. When Dong Xiaoli was still Dong Qianyue, she had bad luck in the entrance exam for junior high school.

In ancient times, "chouhao" meant toilet. Yang Linxin's seat was close to the toilet during the county exam, and Dong Qianyue's exam room was also close to the toilet during the junior high school entrance exam.

Moreover, Dong Qianyue was sitting at the very back of the examination room, near the back door. It was summer, so both the front and back doors of the examination room were open for ventilation.

In elementary schools, the boys' and girls' restrooms are on the same floor in the same location, only the entrances face different directions. The boys' restroom stinks! It's truly unbearable.

And the smell of toilets in ancient times...

After giving the teapot to Uncle Li, Dong Xiaoli returned to the swing in the courtyard and sat down, gently swaying as she pondered her future.

Even if a person's appearance remains unchanged for ten years, although it is rare, it is not unheard of.

Leaving aside the myth of ageless male gods in modern entertainment, after all, they have plenty of money to maintain their appearance, while there was no such thing as hyaluronic acid in ancient times.

In reality, one of Dong Qianyue's senior classmates was in her thirties, petite, and had a baby face, looking like a high school student.

High school students are at most seventeen or eighteen years old, not much different from the age Dong Xiaoli looks in her current body. In other words, at best, without any maintenance, Dong Xiaoli can live to be thirty or forty years old.

But what if she's fifty or sixty? If Dong Xiaoli still looks like she's sixteen or seventeen, she'll probably be seen as a monster.

Dong Xiaoli was only a demigod, so naturally she would age, but the time it took her to age was enough for a mortal to go through several reincarnations.

Moreover, after becoming a dragon, Dong Xiaoli realized that it was all wrong to think that monsters, demigods, and immortals were so powerful that they could conjure up the appearance of a person as a child, youth, middle-aged, or old.

Although a person's appearance may differ at different times, their basic skeleton remains the same, and careful observation will reveal that they are the same person.

Take Dong Xiaoli, the dragon, as an example. She can transform into a young girl, a young woman, or an old woman, but these transformations are random and represent different individuals.

Dong Xiaoli cannot use her current appearance as a model to create a middle-aged version of herself.

Therefore, the people currently living in this house will definitely not be able to go to the capital with Dong Xiaoli and the others in the future.
