The next day, Chang'an City, Taiyuan University.
Several carriages drove slowly from the east gate. The strange thing was that these carriages were obviously full of students taking the reexamination, but these people had a tacit understanding and remained silent.
Tian Bi and Chen Xuanxuan were doing better, but their expressions were gloomy, as if they were just reflecting on their previous experiences. Han Chunrong, on the other hand, held his head in his hands with a painful expression. It seemed that he still couldn't accept what happened. His mental state was also a bit crazy, and he looked like he had been greatly stimulated. As for Jiang Changming, he simply closed his eyes and meditated, letting his mind completely empty out. But what was different from usual was that the last picture that appeared in the mysterious formation flashed uncontrollably in his mind, and every time this picture flashed However, his mood would fluctuate so strongly that even though it was not too hot along the way, his clothes and back were soaked with sweat.
Why is this dream so real?
Everyone has their own thoughts, but I'm afraid only you know what it feels like...
On the other side, the entrance of Taixue College was now crowded with people. Although there were not as many people as when the first test was announced, the entrance was still blocked to traffic.
Most of the crowd were students, followed by people from gambling houses. Of course, there were also servants from some big families, not just the Jiang family. Some of these students came from famous families, so they naturally wanted to know about this important matter as soon as possible.
The official announcement of the final result of the poor family is still made by Taiyuan College, usually on the day after the re-examination, but if you pass the re-examination, you will naturally have to stay on the mountain for the apprenticeship ceremony. Therefore, there is an unwritten rule in previous re-examinations. Candidates who fail the re-examination will be sent down the mountain first by carriage.
You didn’t even get into a poor family anyway, so why stay in the mountains?
Seeing the carriage getting closer and closer, the heartbeats of these people became faster and faster. This was an opportunity for the gambling house to make money, and it was also an opportunity for these slaves to report good news and ask for rewards. Just imagine, if it is confirmed that their master has been favored by a poor family, what will happen next? I immediately ran back to the house to report the good news. If the master and grandma at home were happy, would the reward be less?
The carriage is getting closer and closer, and the commotion in the crowd is getting louder and louder. People are whispering to each other, and they are even more excited just before the result is about to be announced.
"Hey, tell me, can Mr. Jiang really get into a poor family this time?"
"Well, I think it's most likely Mr. Jiang."
"How can you see that? Haven't you heard that you will die if you are exposed to heat? Didn't the previous cold exams shock us enough?"
"Hey, hey! Do you know how to speak? What do you mean by 'heat will kill you'? You can't say anything auspicious at all," a girl dressed as a maid scolded with an unhappy look on her face.
"Hey, little girl, who are you?"
"I'm from the Jiang Mansion! Mr. Jiang is the eldest young master of my family! What's wrong?" The maid stared at her and said angrily.
Seeing that they were from the Jiang Mansion, the momentum of these students immediately weakened. After all, the people from the Jiang Mansion were known to be protectors.
But the young man dressed as a servant next to him looked at the girl with confusion. This young man is a domestic servant of the Jiang family and has been working in the Jiang family for two years, but...why...it seems that he has never seen this girl before? Is he the new one in the grandma's room?
This maid is none other than Miss Cui's maid Xiaohuan. Today she was ordered by the eldest daughter to come to inquire about the results of the cold test. As is common among Aiwu and black people, when they see someone talking about the lady's sweetheart, they will naturally scold them. As for her saying that Jiang Changming is the eldest young master, she naturally regards her eldest daughter as the future eldest young mistress of the Jiang family. She has to adapt to her new identity in advance, isn't that too much?
"Sir, how can we mortals figure it out? I think this cold test will definitely surprise everyone."
Suddenly a voice came from the crowd, and everyone turned around and saw a young man in purple clothes holding a folding fan in his hand and saying confidently. This man was full of confidence, as if he was sure of his prediction, but he was a bit cunning, and his clothes were fashionable and... Weird, he was calm and calm at the moment, which was very different from his original temperament, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little funny in their eyes.
Who else besides Qin Jingqing could be dressed like this?
When Xiaohuan heard this, his face turned red instantly - wasn't this funny guy trying to undermine himself? Doesn't "surprise everyone" mean that Mr. Jiang is very likely to be out of luck?
Xiao Huan was furious, and his voice suddenly rose a lot, and he said, "Humph, among these thirty students, who can compare to Young Master Jiang?"
Qin Jingqing found it funny when he saw this little girl's persistence. He didn't want to get entangled with her too much. He pointed in the direction of the carriage and said, "Don't worry, girl, the carriage has arrived. We will reveal who it is right away."
After everyone heard this, they looked in the direction of Qin Jingqing's finger and saw that the long motorcade had arrived at the gate of Taiyuan University. Seeing this scene, everyone suddenly became excited. Xiaohuan also forgot that he was arguing with Qin Jingqing, and his attention suddenly focused on the carriage.
The carriage stopped slowly, but no one on the carriage wanted to get off.
"Hey! I have to rush them down every time."
Master Chen muttered to himself impatiently, as if he had experienced this scenario countless times. After that, he walked listlessly to the carriage, knocked on each carriage one by one, and shouted——
"Come on, come on, pack up and go home. It's not a shame not to be selected by a poor family. It's not easy to pass the re-examination. Everyone, get out of the car."
After a while, the car curtain was finally lifted, and a man and a woman were seen getting out of the car one after another. A closer look showed that they were Tian Bi and Chen Xuanxuan from Tian Qiji's lower school. Seeing his senior brothers and sisters getting off the carriage, Student Tian Qi hurriedly stepped forward. The two of them looked in a daze, as if they had been shocked by something, and they were a little unsteady when they got off the carriage. As a result, no one could ask any more questions, so they just supported the two of them and walked towards the inn.
Immediately afterwards, the students on the carriage came down one after another, and the servants, classmates, and friends saw this and stepped forward to help them. It's just that these students who got off the bus gave the onlookers the same feeling, that is, they were all a little distracted and in a trance.
Could it be possible that I encountered a ghost on the mountain? Everyone thought in unison.
Tian Bi, Chen Xuanxuan, the Wang brothers, Zhang Ziru, Han Chunrong...all the famous talents and talented women appeared in front of everyone one after another. The crowd couldn't help but sigh. This cold test is really one of a million!
Jiang Changming's figure never appeared, and the servants of Jiang Mansion became more and more restless. They secretly said with joy, it seems that this time he is really the eldest son!
Xiao Huan on the side was even more excited. Her palms were sweating now, and she was silently chanting in her heart - Mr. Jiang, please don't be in there... Mr. Jiang, please don't be in there... ..Mr. Jiang, please don’t be in there...
Finally, no one got off the carriage anymore. The empty carriages had been taken away, except for one, which stood there alone, looking very lonely.
Those who are interested have been counting, and there are only twenty-seven people in front of them, and three people have not appeared. But except for Mr. Jiang who has not appeared, no one can think of anyone who has not gotten off the carriage. This famous person They have all appeared, who is it?
Just when everyone was sure that the person left in the carriage was definitely not Jiang Changming, Master Chen suddenly sighed. He walked to the carriage window with his hands behind his back and shaking his head, then gently knocked on the carriage and said: "Mr. Jiang, please come down -"
Mr. Jiang! ? The person on the carriage turned out to be Young Master Jiang! ?
The crowd was suddenly in an uproar and talking about it for a while.
How...how could it be Young Master Jiang?
The Wang brothers, the two from Jixia Academy, and Han Chunrong, the leader, have already left. If Mr. Jiang is not selected, these are the most powerful ones, but if these people fail, then who else will be there? No one could even remember the names of the remaining two people. This... this was so unexpected!
Xiaohuan couldn't believe her ears, Mr. Jiang was eliminated! ? Mr. Jiang failed the re-examination? impossible! The master must have been dim-witted and misjudged the person. Mr. Jiang’s talents and cultivation are all top-notch. How could it be that... this time... the lady’s side...
Jiang Changming was seen slowly getting off the carriage, looking as lonely as his predecessors. The servants of the Jiang family hurriedly stepped forward. Seeing the look on their young master's face, they were at a loss for a moment.
Qin Jingqing was looking around with his feet on his feet. At this moment, he was full of questions——
Huh? Where is Ye Changshan? Where did this kid go? There is no carriage. Could it be that he sneaked away? It doesn't make sense... Could it be... Qin Jingqing suddenly stared at her small eyes, unable to believe what she was thinking.
"I remembered! The young man named Ye Changshan is not on the carriage!" After a moment, someone finally remembered something and shouted loudly.
"Yes, yes! It's him!"
"I remembered it too! It turned out to be him. People who excel in civil examinations really have something special about them!"
"What's the background of this person? I've never heard of this name before the cold test."
"I don't know, it seems to be from the west."
"Ah, yes, yes, I heard on the first day of the public examination that this young master Ye is a genius. It is said that he is extremely talented. He has a photographic memory when he is studying. He can read ten lines at a time. He has learned a lot at a young age..."
"So that's it. He is indeed a genius. No wonder his ability surpasses all others."
"Yes, heroes have been born since ancient times. It seems that we still need to learn more from this young master Ye..."
...
Qin Jingqing felt nauseated as he listened to the side, thinking that although this guy in Changshan was a pretty good guy, he wouldn't be praised like this, right? If the news reaches the ears of the people of Chang'an tomorrow, won't it be another Young Master Jiang and Third Senior Brother? But then again, is this Ye Changshan really the chosen one? Just take part in the cold exam casually?
It's not fair! My father and I have participated in it so many times, why don’t we have this fate?
While everyone was praising Ye Changshan, someone suddenly shouted again——
"Then who is the other one? I just counted and saw only twenty-eight students in total. Besides Young Master Ye, who is the other one?"
"Brother, are you serious about this? There is another person!?"
"Yes, there is indeed one more person!"
"Who could that be?"
"Could it be that... the Han Clan accepted two disciples this time?"
The crowd exploded again. First, Young Master Jiang was not selected, and then it was discovered that the unknown Ye Changshan named Ye Changshan was selected. This time I discovered that there was another person! This cold audition is really better than the opera in the theater.
Everyone was talking about it, but they couldn't remember who this other person was.
Hehe...it's finally my turn to show off...
Qin Jingqing opened his fan with a rustling sound and said proudly——
"I've told you a long time ago that this cold exam will definitely surprise everyone. The last student chosen by the poor family is named Yingping."
"Yingping? Who is it?"
"Has anyone heard of it?"
"No, is he another genius?"
Qin Jingqing was very proud at the moment. Looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, he said -
"That's natural. Isn't it true that only geniuses can be favored by poor families?"
"Oh? Would you like this brother to elaborate?"
Seeing everyone's interest, Qin Jingqing felt very unhappy. He squinted his eyes and pursed his lips, while shaking his folding fan, he said unhurriedly like a storyteller -
"This young master Yingpingying has only been in school for one year, but he has learned a lot and memorized it well. Now he has an extensive knowledge of the past and the present. He is master of all the four books and five classics. What is even more amazing is that the young master Ying only practiced cultivation for a few months. Now he is It has already opened the Yang realm..."
