prosperous age

Chapter 101 Chapter 101
Three days after the announcement of the list, the re-examination of the college examination will be held in Nanchang Gongyuan. Naturally, Wei Guangde and Zeng Yuanshu will not waste time. After confirming that they have passed the official examination, they immediately returned to the inn where they lived and started reading.

Well, in fact, Wei Guangde's behavior like this is just pretending.

Books, he really can't read them.

It's not like a popular saying in later generations, big exams are big, small exams are small, and if you don't take exams, you don't play.

But at the moment, most of the students with ideas have turned their energy from worrying about the results of the entrance examination to studying hard. The re-examination is the key to determining the results of the entrance examination.

Wei Guangde didn't want to be independent, so naturally he wanted to follow suit.

In fact, not long after they left, the group of scholars and students who were still at the bottom of the list all left one after another to prepare for the re-examination three days later.

The day before the exam, Wei Guangde panicked in the inn.

Yes, I was suffocated and panicked.

Books are nothing to look at, so he just took out the previous articles and read them again, and memorized them again, including the questions he had tested before, and the spare articles he chose, which were all because Mr. Sun thought they were a little inferior. And set aside.

I have already used the good ones in the county examination and the hospital examination, and now I can only choose a slightly better one from them to prepare for the next re-examination.

Wei Guangde took a look at Zeng Yuanshu, who shut himself in the room to read a book.

I found my cousin Wu Dong, who didn't go out yet, and was discussing knowledge with Zeng Yuanrui.

Although I put away the idea of ​​the imperial examination, when I arrived in Nanchang Mansion, and now it was time for the courtyard examination, I still picked up the book with itchy hands, flipped through it casually, and chatted with Zeng Yuanrui.

"Cousin, Yuan Rui, do you want to go out for a walk? I'm so suffocated in the house that I want to go out and relax."

When Wei Guangde entered the room, he saw that the two of them were reading books, chatting while reading, and wondered if they could read the books by doing so.

"it is good."

Wu Dong heard Wei Guangde say this, and he also knew that before the exam, Wei Guangde couldn't read the books. He asked him to go downstairs for dinner two days ago, and he only saw him flipping through the previous papers, not like Zeng Yuanshu. By the side, he is really holding the book and chewing.

"Then I'll go shopping too. I haven't left the gate of the inn for the past two days, so I'm in a panic."

When Zeng Yuanrui heard Wei Guangde and Wu Dong talk about going out for a walk, he expressed his desire to go out without thinking too much.

"Yuan Shu, do you want to ask?"

Wu Dong got up and said, arranging his clothes while talking.

"I went to see it first. He was still reading. I asked a question, but he said no."

Wei Guangde replied.

The three of them packed up and went out together, walking along the avenue to the bustling market in Nanchang City.

At this moment, there are not many scholars dressed up on the road. Most of the students who took the exam and failed the official exam have left together. Those who are still in Nanchang City are either the students on the list or their friends. Still waiting to go home together.

After walking a few streets, Wei Guangde suddenly said, "There are so many gambling halls in Nanchang Prefecture, what is that piece of white cloth hanging on the door for?"

"That's for opening after you enter the examination room."

Wu Dong explained with a smile, "Every year, the government exams such as the college exam and the township exam, the gambling halls in Nanchang City will participate in a wave, allowing gamblers to bet on the top of the imperial examination."

After speaking, he glanced at Wei Guangde and continued, "Don't worry, your name is definitely not on this list."

"Ha ha."

Zeng Yuanrui on the side clapped his hands and laughed when he heard Wu Dong teasing Wei Guangde.

"First of all, I really haven't done it."

Wei Guangde has never thought about being a desk chief, what that thing is doing, he has everything in his dreams.

Although I occasionally dream about becoming a Jinshi or the number one scholar, it is just a daydream, and I know it is unrealistic. Maybe my fate has already been doomed. There is no problem with being a Jinshi, but the ranking may not be so good.

If you can't, just follow Yan Ge's old way, find a better official position, and then draw a clear line with him, so as not to hurt yourself when the ship sinks.

As for whether it is a bit unethical to do so, does it not cost money to go out of your way?
It's just a transaction, and when the transaction is completed, it is completed.

People are betting on the head of the case, so the odds must be set according to the list of candidates entering the venue.

Although the name is still vague, it stands to reason that we don't know which candidates will take the re-examination, but haven't you seen that they haven't released the information about the bet?
This shows that up to now, the casino does not seem to be sure who has passed the official exam.

Thinking about their entry tomorrow, as long as there are some students who are familiar with the candidates from various prefectures to recognize them, they will be able to roughly figure out who is going in, and then based on the previous wind evaluation, the odds will come out up.

Wei Guangde thought so, but he had no hope of taking the top spot anyway, otherwise he would really want to put pressure on himself, and he wondered if he really did this, would Heavenly Dao let him get what he wanted?
This is the third time he has successfully passed the customs. Except for the county exam, he is very sure. He is actually not sure about the government exam and the courtyard exam. Since he has passed both, it shows that he is really blessed, and maybe he will re-examine the exam questions. Even what he is best at is not good enough.

Going shopping until the moon hangs on the treetops, Nanchang City will soon have a curfew.

The curfew in Nanchang City, in fact, as long as you don't enter or leave the city, it will have little impact. I don't know what is going on outside the city. The city is actually brightly lit. Many businesses on the street still do night market business. Of course, the main ones are gambling halls and brothels. .

Wei Guangde wasn't very interested in gambling halls. As for the brothels, he had seen them several times in Jiujiang Mansion, but he didn't bother to go up there, and he couldn't go there right now, because he had to take an exam tomorrow.

Wu Dong has repeatedly asked him to go back to rest and prepare for the exam tomorrow.

Zeng Yuanrui went back to the inn a long time ago, and he still had to take care of his second brother, fearing that if he forgot to sleep and rest while reading, it would affect tomorrow's exam.

Seeing Wei Guangde staring straight at the brothel over there, there were a dozen or so well-dressed young women looking out by the window on the second floor, as a normal man, Wu Dong just thought it was funny.

"Guangde, do you want to come forward for a drink?"

Hearing what his cousin said, Wei Guangde blushed, and shook his head in denial, "There, that's where the hall is brighter, so take a closer look."

"Okay, that's all for today. After you pass the hospital exam, let's sit down."

Wu Dong looked at Wei Guangde and laughed, his face blushed again.

Fortunately, it's getting late at this moment, so it's not eye-catching.

Tomorrow is the last exam of this college exam, and it is also an exam that determines fate.

Feeling uneasy is still certain, but at this time Wei Guangde can only pour chicken soup for himself.

Coming here, I will definitely be favored by the heavens, and there is no problem in the small courtyard test.

Back at the inn, Wei Guangde asked the store owner to prepare hot water for a shower to sweat off, and went to bed early to recharge his energy for tomorrow's exam.
