prosperous age

Chapter 117
Laokan scored No. 2 in the secondary list in the local examination. Although he did not directly enter the second list, none of the scholars in the lobby dared to underestimate him.

There are 95 places in the second list of the Jiangxi provincial examination. Doesn't it mean that he is the No. 90 seventh in this rural examination? Before he got the success report, everyone looked at him with envy, let alone He is still so young, in his twenties.

Although the results of the provincial examination this time and the results of the next provincial examination must not be linked, at least it shows that Lao Kan has the ability to pass the exam, but he just lacks a little luck.

For other people's congratulations, no matter what kind of thoughts they came from, Lao Kan accepted it graciously.

The ranking has been decided, what else can I say.

Then another team of heralds passed by the gate of the inn. Wei Guangde also felt that the location of the inn was not good at this time.

Indeed, living here is very close to the Nanchang Gongyuan, and it is only a few steps to the Gongyuan for reference.

But when the rankings were released, watching those announcing officials pass by the gate of the inn, that feeling
Fortunately, not long after, after a few teams of announcers passed by, an announcer came into the inn again, and the slightly noisy inn became quiet again in an instant.

"Success in the township examination, congratulations to Mr. Duan Mengxian, Hukou County, Jiujiang, No. 90 in the high school Renzi Township Examination."

"boom"

Just after the good news was announced by the official messenger, the inn became lively in an instant, and almost all the scholars had already stood up and cast envious eyes at Wei Guangde and his table.

Duan Mengxian, who just passed the hospital examination this year, passed the provincial examination, so what else can he say.

Before Lao Kan almost squeezed into the main list, this time it was the rookie who caught up with the main list and won the honor of juren.

Wei Guangde trembled when he heard that the good news was for Duan Mengxian, he was a bit unexpected.

From Wei Guangde's point of view, the person at this table who has the best chance of being on the list is actually Lao Kan, but Lao Kan only got a sub-list.

Lao Kan had no chance, but I didn't expect Duan Mengxian to squeeze in. It seems that people in my subject are a bit fierce, and the gold content is not very high.

Wei Guangde naturally thought of going to other places, although at this moment he also congratulated Duan Mengxian with a big smile on his face.

Following this beginning, two groups of messengers came in to announce the good news.

"Success in the township examination, congratulations to Zhang Tingyi, Master Zhang, Fuliang County, Raozhou, No. 80 on the top five in the high school Renzi Township Examination."

"Success in the township examination, congratulations to Mr. Hu Rulihu of Taihe County, Ji'an, No. 80 in the No. [-] list of high school Renzi Township Examination."

By this time, the shopkeeper of the inn had already smiled, and it took a while to announce the good news, and the talented husbands in his store had already won four places. Although one of them was a sub-list, it was not easy.

After the generous rewards from the candidates on the list, these good news officials left the inn after delivering the good news, all grinning from ear to ear.

To be honest, this is also a small trick.

This inn is very close to the Gongyuan, and the living conditions are also good. Naturally, the accommodation is expensive. Those who can live here must have a little money, otherwise they will only look for cheap inns with a slightly worse location. I didn’t see it before. As for that person from Jiujiang, even in the vice-ranking list, there are several teams competing for this opportunity to deliver the good news.

Most of the official messengers are good people, so they naturally know where to send happy news to get the most happy money.

After the officials left, the lobby of the inn soon became dull again. Just now there were three groups of people coming in consecutively. At this moment, the dozen or so teams of officials who announced the good news all passed by the door, and did not enter the door because of the expectant eyes of the scholars in the door.

Everyone was actually counting silently in their hearts. It is estimated that the good news was a good news for that ranking. The eyes of most people who were expecting before now gradually began to look a little desperate.

Wei Guangde also felt a bit dizzy at this time, in his mind, he should have passed the provincial test this time.

But it is estimated that there are almost seventy people, but there is no news of success.

Is it
For the first time in Wei Guangde's heart, he began to feel that he had failed the ranking, although deep down he still didn't believe it.

Looking at the enthusiastic eyes of the students around him gradually revealing a sense of disappointment, Wei Guangde could only blink and let out a breath, hoping to calm down the chaotic mood.

However, it was Mr. Zhu Shilong and Mr. Zhu who made Wei Guangde the most funny. His expression at this time was also very exciting. His face was flushed with a dry smile. He didn't know what he was laughing at, but there was an indistinct look in his eyes disappointment.

Well, maybe it was the epiphany at home two years ago that made him think he had found the code for Zhongju, so he has been jumping up and down in Jiujiang Mansion and Nanchang City for more than a year, just to gain a little reputation and be able to help him in the exam. Exceeded the fame of the people.

It took a lot of energy and money, but it seemed useless.

It is also very interesting to publish the rankings in the Ming Dynasty. He did not publish the rankings from high to low to send good news, but from low to high. This made those candidates who thought they were a little bit talented feel the pressure.

For some novels, it is said that a scholar who is really talented and full of knowledge will be calm and composed, but when this occasion really comes, even if you are the reincarnation of Cao Zijian and possessed by Zhu Zi, you will still tremble nervously.

In fact, the contingency factor of the imperial examination is too great.

Most of the candidates from Jiujiang Mansion lived in this store. At this time, no one reached out to serve tea. Many people's hands were shaking badly, and Wei Guangde was no exception.

Everyone just sat there, motionless, just listening to the movement outside the door. When the sound of hurried footsteps sounded, everyone's expressions would show a look of anticipation, and as the footsteps went away, there was another strong Deep sorrow.

Looking at Zeng Yuanshu, Zhang Ke and others sitting beside him, Wei Guangde finally revealed a wry smile on his serious expression.

Wei Guangde has probably figured it out now, he is lucky to be able to kill here at 13 years old, and he still thinks about four in a row.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door again, and soon someone entered the inn, and almost everyone turned their eyes to the door of the inn at this moment.

It did not surprise everyone, another team of officials who announced the good news.

"Success in the township examination, congratulations to Mr. Zhang Ke, Hukou County, Jiujiang, No. 60 on the top five in the high school Renzi Township Examination."

Holding the grass, Zhang Ke also won the exam.

Ten thousand drafts in Wei Guangde's mind flew by.

He always thought that was it, but he didn't expect that three of the people at his table had already received the good news.

Mechanically cupping his hands, saying congratulations, Wei Guangde felt a sense of powerlessness as he watched Zhang Ke dancing and laundering the money to reward those who announced the good news.

In fact, at this time, the person with the largest psychological shadow in the room should be the first one to get a good report, after all, he is the leader of the case this year.
Wei Guangde thought so in his heart, at this moment, there were footsteps outside the door again, it seemed that the announcer who had just left was still saying hello to the team of announcers who had just arrived and said something.

Following the sound of footsteps again, three police officers wearing bright red official uniforms came in again at the gate of the inn to announce the good news.
