prosperous age

Chapter 76

With the opening of the gate of the examination institute, the scribes came out holding the red list recording the candidates who passed the first examination.

Wei Guangde and other people standing under the porch consciously gave way, and did not stop their way forward.

Outside the courtyard wall of the probationary, a small vacant space was quickly cleared. The little official behind the clerk moved a bench, and then the little official stood on it neatly, one on the left and one on the right. It was posted on the wall.

It is still a "day case", with dozens of different seat numbers forming two circles.

This time Wu Dong will not make the mistake of forgetting to read Wei Guangde's quotation in Pengze County again, but he clearly remembers that Wei Guangde's seat number is Dizi No. 23.

And this time Wei Guangde will naturally not make the same problem as that in Pengze County. Seeing the list posted, Wei Guangde looked directly from the [-] o'clock position on the outer circle, but it is still a habit, and he still chooses one clockwise. Look at the seat number of one.

In fact, at this time, all the student candidates surrounding the list were all staring at the red list with wide eyes, looking for their seat numbers, including those candidates who answered the ruthless answer question poorly. With a little luck, they all stared at the list.

And as the red list was posted, the candidates in the back row rushed forward involuntarily, wanting to get closer to the red list, and even closer, so that they could see it more clearly.

At this time, the clerks who posted the list quickly ran along the corner of the wall, and had already entered the gate of the examination hall. With a sound of "bang", the gate of the examination hall was closed again.

Wei Guangde and the others did not follow the clerks and stood directly under the list, but still stood under the porch of the entrance of the examination institute, looking down sideways, and the student closest to the list seemed to occupy a good position. But it was indeed difficult for them to concentrate on looking at the list at the moment, looking for their seat numbers, because the thrust from the rear kept pushing them towards the courtyard wall until they reached the courtyard wall.

Looking at the lively scene under the list, Zhang Hongfu and the other children of the local officials and gentry families in Jiujiang Mansion laughed and laughed, and the soldiers beside them didn't move, it was all scholars' business. I don't want to care.

"bingo."

"I hit it, I actually hit it."

It was Wu Dong and Wei Guangde who spoke.

Wu Dong naturally didn't look at the crowded scene under the list like Zhang Hongfu did. He was more concerned about his cousin's grades and whether he was on the list.

When he saw "Dizi No. 23" in the lower right corner of the list, Wu Dong didn't make a sound for the first time, but looked at it again, and after confirming it, he shouted excitedly, just like a few years ago I am also here, the scene when I saw my seat number.

"Hit it? Where is it?"

Zhang Hongfu, who was watching the excitement, heard that Wu Dong and Wei Guangde were both shouting, and knew that [-]% of them were really on the list, and he would not be fooling himself. On such a solemn occasion, he immediately put away his mood of watching the show and looked at the list. one.

"Bottom right corner, place number 23, haha"

Wu Dong replied without thinking.

"Brother Zhang, which of your brothers is on the list? I won't introduce you either."

At this moment, several young young masters next to him asked.

"My cousin, Wei Guangde, is only 13 years old this year, so he's amazing."

With the general direction given by Wu Dong, Zhang Hongfu naturally saw Wei Guangde's seat number very quickly, and he naturally did not hesitate at all when asked by a few acquaintances next to him, and said in a very proud tone.

In fact, it’s not that Zhang Hongfu doesn’t care about Wei Guangde’s failure to appear on the list, but that Wei Guangde feels that his chances of being on the list are slim, so he has never clearly stated how he answered his exam papers. In Zhang Hongfu’s view, this is a manifestation of Wei Guangde’s guilty conscience , This time the government exam probably failed, so I just watched the crowded people under the list instead of looking at the list.

"Congratulations, Guangde is really good. He even passed the county examination and government examination. Let's go to Nanchang together for the July hospital examination."

Zeng Yuanshu, who had been staring at the list before this moment, congratulated Wei Guangde with a slightly disappointed expression. Although he was smiling, it was obvious at a glance that he should not be in a good mood at this time.

And Zeng Yuanrui was still staring at the list without giving up.

He heard what Wu Dong and Wei Guangde said before.

Although he is one year younger than Wei Guangde, he entered school earlier than Wei Guangde. He did not feel that he was inferior to Wei Guangde at all, so after hearing that Wei Guangde was on the list, he did not see his seat number in the outer circle. Search inside the inner circle.

As the protagonist of this ranking, how did Wei Guangde feel when he saw his seat number?

Well, Wei Guangde is a little silly now.

The moment he saw his seat number, he was happy, and he wanted to vent his anger by yelling.

Then, then he thought about what he had come here.

The protagonist's halo.

Come across by yourself.

It seems that it is really destined by God.

They all thought that this government exam was dangerous, but they didn't expect to be able to turn the danger into luck and pass it smoothly.

Yes, Wei Guangde doesn't know how to express his feelings right now.

Well, now he admits that he may be the Chosen One, and he didn't come here by accident, but came here with a certain mission.

Although until now he didn't know what he could do.

Because there is no system or something possessed to tell him what to do, but this does not affect his happy mood in the slightest.

The courtyard examination, the next hurdle is the courtyard examination, as long as he passes the courtyard examination, he is a person of fame, and he is the bottom of the ruling class in this era.

But it doesn't matter, the meal has to be eaten bite by bite, the road has to be walked step by step, and of course the imperial examinations have to be passed one by one.

But, the most important thing, Wei Guangde feels that he is really lucky now, and maybe he will succeed all the way to the capital just like the time travel articles he has read.

Wei Guangde had never been confident before, and felt that his arrival might have been an accident.

For future generations, even though Wei Guangde has studied the Four Books and Five Classics for more than a year, he still feels that he is no better than the scholars of this era, but much worse.

A little inferiority complex.

But at this moment, Wei Guangde figured it out, he was the son of luck, the chosen one, and the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty might not be able to stop him.

Suddenly feeling a pair of big hands dangling in front of his eyes, Wei Guangde opened them without thinking, and then saw that it was his cousin Wu Dong, and Zhang Hongfu also stood aside and looked at him with concern.

"what happened?"

Wei Guangde asked strangely.

"Come back to your senses, it's good to be back to your senses."

Wu Dong patted his chest with a look of fear, not paying any attention to Wei Guangde's slap to open his hand just now.

"I saw you standing there stupidly just now, and thought you were happy and stupid."

Well, before Wei Guangde saw his seat number, there was no other sound except for the shout. The strange behavior naturally frightened Wu Dong and Zhang Hongfu who accompanied him.

As for Wei Guangde, he just thought about something before he was misunderstood by them.

"It's okay, I just thought that I became a child, and I don't know how to celebrate for a while."

Wei Guangde said nonsense.
