prosperous age

Chapter 99

Wei Guangde finished the first exam of his college exam, and he was a little thirsty at the moment, but unfortunately he didn't bring any money with him.

Thinking that the inn he was staying in was just over the bridge, and it was only a few steps away, Wei Guangde chose to go back to the inn directly. After all, he didn't know when Zeng Yuanshu would come out, maybe he had to wait until the exam papers were closed.

Just after walking a few steps, Wei Guangde was stopped by someone.

"Brother Lao, Brother Zou, Brother Yang, the three elder brothers are polite."

When Wei Guangde heard someone calling him, he stood still immediately, and then saw three scholars he knew, all of whom he knew before, but they were not familiar with each other, but they still knew their names, and immediately handed over their hands.

"Yuan Shu should still be inside, aren't you waiting for him to come out?"

The one who spoke was Lao Kan, a 23-year-old man from Jiujiang Prefecture, not only older than him, but also older than his cousin and Zeng Yuanshu.

"Brother Zeng doesn't know when he will come out. I'm a little thirsty, and I forgot to bring money with me, so I plan to go back to the inn to rest for a while, and come back later."

Wei Guangde replied with a smile.

"Oh, Wu Dong didn't come over, it seems that you came out earlier."

Lao Kan smiled, then ordered the book boy to go to the front to buy some fruit, and said to Wei Guangde: "You did well in the exam this time. I heard that you are used to handing in the papers in advance. I heard Wu Dong call you to check more this morning."

Seeing Yang Biao and Zou Shan laughing together, Wei Guangde immediately said: "Don't make fun of me, three brothers. The exam questions in this subject are just like that. If you do it well, it depends on what the examiner said. .”

"Looking at the sky, it is estimated that they should come out in an hour, so let's just wait."

Yang Biao said at this time that he is from Qingjiang and belongs to Linjiang Mansion, and he met in Taolin two days ago.

But I don't know how many times I have come to Nanchang Examination Institute for the exam. It seems that I am familiar with Zeng Yuanshu and Lao Kan.

In fact, these three people all met a few days ago. Although Lao Kan is a man of virtue, he is also Wei Guangde's senior, because he was a child born a few years ago, but he is similar to Zeng Yuanshu, and has taken several college exams. None.

Therefore, when Wei Guangde stayed in Jiujiang Mansion two months ago, he had never met him. Zhu Shilong invited either fresh students or scholars. All the scholars here are calling.

The same is true of Yang Biao next to him, but he is from Anfu County, Ji'an Prefecture.

Those born in Ji’an Prefecture are similar to those born in Nanchang. The competition is extremely fierce. The local examiners are too good.

Although people from other provinces say that the candidates from Jiangxi are excellent, the locals know that the candidates from Ji'an and Nanchang are the best.

Of course, there is actually another reason for saying this, that is, it has been 31 years since the Jiajing Dynasty, and the two consecutive cabinet ministers have been taken down by Jiangxi people, which naturally gives people a feeling that Jiangxi students are powerful.

From Xia Yan, the former chief assistant, to Yan Song, the current chief assistant, well, Wei Guangde is not clear at the moment how people from other provinces think of these two. He only knows that later generations look down on Yan Song. The famous one is almost as famous as Qin Hui in the Southern Song Dynasty.

I found a place outside the gate of the Gongyuan, and a few people just stood there and waited.

Fortunately, the book boys brought by Lao Kan bought a lot of fruits, and they chatted and laughed casually.

When Wu Dong brought Zeng Yuanrui over, there were already about twenty examinees standing by Wei Guangde's side, all of whom were familiar with each other, and more familiar students were still taking exams inside.

When it was getting late, a bell rang again from inside the gate of the Gongyuan. With the opening of the gate of the Gongyuan, students rushed out of the Gongyuan.

Sure enough, Zeng Yuanshu didn't come out until the exam was over.

The main exam is over, and everyone is actually relieved. It only needs to wait a few days, and the results of the college exam list will be posted.

Before that, of course, it was necessary to feed the temple of the five viscera.

At this time, the meeting has grown to more than 50 people. Hulala walked through Gongyuan Street, crossed the Zhuangyuan Bridge, and found a nearby wine shop, opened six tables before sitting down.

In the next few days, Wei Guangde and Zeng Yuanshu had nothing to worry about, they had already passed the exam, and the examiner wrote whether they got a pass or not, so there was nothing to worry about, and they just went around Nanchang City and its surrounding areas.

For Wei Guangde and Zeng Yuanrui, it was the first time they came to Nanchang, so they naturally opened their eyes to take a good look at this prefecture, which is the political center of Jiangxi.

A few days passed in a flash, and that day Wei Guangde got up and went downstairs, sitting at the dining table having breakfast, chatting with Wu Dong and Zeng Yuanshu.

In the few days just after the exam, I really didn't think about whether I passed the college exam or not.

But a few days passed, and seeing the results of the first exam were about to come out, those who had no reason to think about it would still run there, and began to worry about gains and losses.

Fortunately, in the two days after the college examination, they had already visited Nanchang City and its surrounding attractions, such as watching the water in Tengwang Pavilion and offering incense in Youmin Temple.

In fact, Zeng Yuanshu was similar to Wei Guangde in the past two days, he was a little absent-minded, so they simply stayed in the inn for the past two days, and didn't bother to go out.

"In the past few days, no one has invited us to the banquet. I'm afraid they are all waiting for news from the Gong Yuan."

Wu Dong naturally knew what was going on with Zeng Yuanshu and Wei Guangde at this time, so he naturally wouldn't mention it, they were all from the past, but Zeng Yuanrui was young, so naturally he didn't notice this, and looked at the three brothers very much. Dull, I don't know why I muttered such a sentence.

"Let's publish the list soon."

Zeng Yuanshu answered casually.

"It's just a matter of two days, don't worry, you must pass this subject."

Wu Dong hurriedly answered, and at the same time comforted himself as a good brother.

"hope so."

Zeng Yuanshu smiled lightly and shook his head.

When he walked out of the Gongyuan, he was still full of confidence.

But in the past few days, perhaps because I felt relaxed after the exam, I re-examined my answer sheet, always feeling that this is not good and that is not right, and I fell into self-doubt.

Perhaps, Wei Guangde was the only candidate who did not have such a mentality.

The article was prepared a long time ago. In his opinion, everything that should be changed has been changed. As long as he remembers correctly, that's it.

The incense is also burned, and the temple is worshiped, just wait for the result.

I glanced at the street outside the inn. I didn't see a single student on the street. I guess they were all nestled in the inn where they lived, waiting for news, and they didn't have the heart to go shopping.

At this moment, a bookboy ran in from the door, this person Wei Guangde knew, he was a bookboy for a candidate on the second floor, seeing him enter the inn in a hurry, he stepped on the stairs and ran upstairs.

"The list is out?"

When Zeng Yuanshu saw this picture, he said something for no reason.
