prosperous age

Chapter 116 Chapter 116
On this day, early in the morning, the weather was very hot and dry, making people very uncomfortable.

Even so, the halls of various inns in Nanchang City were indeed full of test-taking students from all over the world. They were all wearing brand-new student uniforms, and their bodies were cleaned up. Several people sat around a table. , with a teacup in front of him, as if drinking tea.

However, at this moment, many of the students looked serious, even chatting with friends at the same table, they seemed a little absent-minded. If you observe carefully, you will find that some students' hands seem to be shaking slightly when serving tea.

Although there were many people sitting in the hotel lobby, the atmosphere was very dull and depressing. Even if the air in Jiangxi was dry because there had been no rain for several months, and the summer heat had not receded, the atmosphere still could not be warmed up.

"Come out, come out."

At this moment, Xiao Er at the door of the inn suddenly yelled at the door.

Just as Xiaoer's voice came out, some students at the tables near the gate of the inn stood up quickly, and some even took a few steps, but then retreated to their previous positions and sat down.

In a short while, three yamen servants in red uniforms rushed to the gate of the inn, but they continued to run forward without stopping.

Obviously, their goal this time is not here.

"Ugh."

I don't know who let out a sigh.

Yes, today is the day when Jiangxi Jiajing's 31st Renzi Township Examination released its list.

Yesterday, the Nanchang Gongyuan and the Confucius Temple next to it were cleaned up by the efforts of countless government officials in Nanchang Fucheng, and the decorations showed a festive atmosphere.

No need to ask too much, for the elderly in Nanchang City, they are very clear about the reason why the government is doing this, that is, the results of the provincial examination are about to come out, and the cleaning of the Gongyuan and the Confucius Temple are all prepared for the new imperial examination masters.

And the three people who ran past the door just now were naturally one of the people who announced the good news for this township examination.

The township examination is different from the previous boy's examination. It is a formal examination of the imperial court. For those who pass the examination, they must send someone to announce the good news.

This is also the reason why none of Wei Guangde and the many students in this hall went to the Nanchang Gongyuan. They only need to wait for the good news from the announcer at the inn where they registered.

Although it seems that it is convenient for the candidates to wait without going to the Gongyuan, but in fact such waiting is a kind of torment for the candidates.

At this moment, Wei Guangde was sitting at the table, sipping a sip of tea, not without doubts in his heart, whether the candidates were not allowed to go to the Tribute Academy to look at the list because they were worried that people with "unpredictable intentions" would take the opportunity to make trouble because of the disputes among the listees.

You must know that most of the candidates who come to take the exam at this time are scholars with fame and reputation, most of them are scholars, some are supervising students, and the other is just a child student, but this part is very small.

Don't look at the scholars who like to tout this and praise that when they are together, but most of them are actually very conceited in their hearts, but traditional education makes them know that humility is a virtue, so they often express their ignorance to the outside world of.

Landing in such an important exam in the township examination is not an ordinary blow to most of the students who are conceited in their hearts.

At this time, as long as there is a little spark, a terrifying force may erupt.

Let people announce the good news first, and then let these students see the list. With an expectation, the big guy will naturally calm down. Even if he is unwilling, he will shrink back because of fear of the king's law.

Wei Guangde was thinking about this, when he heard someone from the next table say: "The ones that will be released at this moment are probably the ones for the sub-ranking list. I'm afraid the good news of the serious recruitment has not been released yet."

"That's right, that's right."

Then came a few voices of agreement from the neighboring table.

Wei Guangde just smiled when he heard the words, and didn't bother to turn his head to see who said it.

He didn't say anything, but he saw Lao Kan at his table, and Zhu Shilong and others at the other table next door shook their heads slightly.

Soon, another team of announcing messengers trotted past the door, followed by a third team and a fourth team.

"The county won't announce the success of this candidate."

Wei Guangde sat here for a long time, didn't say anything, felt that the atmosphere was too oppressive, felt very uncomfortable, so he just started chatting.

"The sub-ranking is that there is no scientific examination, and there is no other preferential treatment. It is not counted in the selection. Of course, there will be no good news."

Lao Kan answered.

Most of them at this table are students who have passed the college entrance examination and got good grades in the entrance examination of Jiujiang Prefecture, so they also came to participate in this rural examination. The seniors sat at the other two tables.

"It's also good to be on the deputy list and go to the Imperial College, and it can be regarded as a way to become an official."

Zhang Ke next to him spoke.

The dull lobby gradually became lively because of a sentence that someone said, and people praised and criticized Gongsheng.

However, none of the students here said that the sub-ranking is not good, and those who demoted the sub-ranking only said that the future of going to the Imperial College to become an official is worrying, and that they should continue to take the provincial examination and strive to win the second list is the right way.

The provincial examination list is what they call the second list. For scholars, the general examination list is the first list, and the rural examination list is naturally the second list, not the secondary list of the rural examination.

At this time, another team of announcing officials trotted to the gate of the inn. This time they did not continue to run over, but stood outside the gate, looking at the plaque hanging on the gate of the inn and comparing it with the note in their hands.

"It's here."

one of them said.

Immediately, the three policemen walked into the lobby of the inn, and in an instant, the buzzing voice just now stopped abruptly.

"Success in the township examination, congratulations to Lord Lao Kanlao of Dehua County, Jiujiang, No. 2 in the deputy list of the high school Renzi Township Examination."

When the officer reported the words "Victory News of the Township Examination", everyone in the inn pricked up their ears, and when they heard Lao Kan's name, countless eyes shot at the twenty-something year old in an instant. Young people, nothing more than jealousy, are instinctive reactions.

After hearing clearly the No.2 ranking in the sub-list, countless people secretly laughed in their hearts, it turned out to be a sub-list.

As for Wei Guangde's troubled eyes, when he heard the guard announce his name, his face instantly turned red, but Wei Guangde soon noticed the change in his cheeks, obviously because he heard that he was on the sub-list, and secretly grit your teeth.

With this happy news, Lao Kan's illusions about being selected were completely shattered.

But this is a good thing for him, at least there is no need to continue to suffer, while others will continue to enjoy this suffering.

As for the so-called expectation, well, thousands of candidates in Jiangxi are vying for the 95 places. Such a disparity in the admission rate is determined, and most of the people here will be disappointed.

"Congratulations Brother Lao."

"Congratulations Brother Lao"

After the good news was read by the dispatcher, the scholars and students around had already stood up one after another, and congratulated Lao Kan.
