The five days passed by in a blink of an eye. In the first two days, many customers came to the store. Some asked who the owner was, some wanted to know how talented he was to write such masterpieces, and some thought the fruit tea tasted delicious and wanted to ask the owner for advice on the recipe. Yes, in short, the drunkard’s intention is not to drink, but no one really comes here to read.
Wei Feng had expected this, so he waited for Bu Ji to practice his sword before opening the door in the morning. He told Bu Ji that whenever a stranger came looking for him, he would say that he had something to do and he would be out for a few days. Bu Ji would be in charge of the store these days.
The next three days were relatively normal, returning to a state of no business.
In the past few days, Wei Feng, in addition to writing a lot of "The Biography of Han Li's Cultivation of Immortality", also received a lot of famous invitations. He did not look through them, but just put them in the glove box, waiting for them. When he enters the academy, no matter whether he recognizes the person on the name badge or not, he will be an acquaintance. On the contrary, as long as he cannot enter, no matter how familiar he is now, he will not know him then.
Early in the morning on the first day of September, the town became lively, because the results of the Academy were released at Maozheng today, and the location was at the east gate of the Academy.
The candidates who have been tossing and turning for five days, today is the time for the final trial. Where can they still sleep? Before the rooster crows at the fifth watch, some people are getting up.
The academy also sent people to guard the east gate area early. Candidates taking the major exams could get to the front row and get a seat in advance to ensure that they could see the list as soon as possible. There was a special area designated for onlookers, which was slightly further away.
However, no matter how large the East Gate of the Academy is, it is still too small when facing a group of six to seven thousand candidates. It is impossible for everyone to stand at the forefront. Therefore, while posting the list, the Academy arranged for someone to read the list. .
Despite this, it could not stop the eagerness of the candidates, who had made a fuss and rushed to occupy their seats early. Wei Feng was awakened by the movement in the city.
He was not in a hurry, and went out sleepily with Cang Gou. Bu Ji and Cao'er had already bought breakfast. After Wei Feng had washed up, they had breakfast together. When they arrived at Maochu, a few people strolled to the academy, and it was almost time. Just in time for the release of the results.
After leaving the door of the bookstore, you can see the endless flow of people on the street. This is still a relatively remote place. If it were on the main road, I am afraid it would be crowded, far more lively than the first day.
According to the density of the crowd, even if three people and one dog wanted to walk faster, they would not be able to go any faster. Wei Feng directly picked up the gray dog to avoid being accidentally stepped on by the crowded crowd.
The crowd's chatter was very mixed, and they were basically all speculations about the candidates of this year. Several of their names appeared very frequently, such as Chang Lianyou from Hezhou, Yan Zhaojiang from Tongzhou, Tong Wenyao from Puzhou, Pei Hansheng from Qingzhou...
After listening carefully for a while, you will find that most of these are Huiyuan from the imperial examinations in various places, or some famous talents. They rarely involve the military and children of aristocratic families. It is difficult for ordinary people to interact with the two, and there are no opportunities for contact. Naturally Not much discussion.
As they gathered towards the main road, the number of people was increasing. It’s no wonder that many candidates got up early to get a seat. It’s like this. It’s hard to tell how late they will be when they get up. It’s like avoiding Same as morning rush hour.
When the three of them arrived, the three floors outside the east gate had been surrounded. There were only a few passages that could barely allow candidates to enter. This was reserved for candidates by the academy. When they squeezed in, they found that except for Wu In fact, there is still nothing to see among the numerous human heads.
The level of interest here is no less than that of the common people, and it is even more so because it concerns oneself.
"When Puzhou Tong Wenyao was in the restaurant that day, he was still talking nonsense, saying that the scriptures on the armor would definitely be captured, but I heard that after a discussion with Hezhou Changlianyou, he left with a dark face..."
"Hahaha, I've heard about this too, but did you know that Chang Lianyou once publicly stated that he is not as good as Pei Hansheng of Qingzhou..."
"I know about this. I heard that the two of them faced each other at a poetry meeting. Pei Hansheng defeated him in a one-on-three fight. Chang Lianyou was also present at the time..."
"Tsk, what a bunch of mean people."
"What are you talking about? You are a barbarian, you don't know a few Chinese characters, and you eavesdropped on our discussion..."
"I eavesdropped on you, mother-in-law. You were chirping so loudly. I didn't even say that you disturbed me..."
"Vulgar, really vulgar..."
"If you tell me again, I'll beat you, believe it or not..."
"How dare you, this is in public, in front of the academy..."
Wei Feng heard it was interesting and couldn't help but laugh out loud. The Ministry of War candidate who spoke like an old man happened to see him. Seeing his bright smile, he couldn't help but glare at him: "You are laughing at your mother."
The smile that had just appeared on Wei Feng's face suddenly froze. Well, Chi Yu was affected again.
He didn't say much, he just reached out and patted the Ministry of War candidate's shoulder, and advised kindly: "Brother, you must be more polite when you go out, you know? Otherwise, you will easily get shoulder pain."
After that, he continued to move forward, leaving the Ministry of War candidate standing stiffly, with his shoulders raised and lowered. After a while, he rubbed the patted shoulder with a grin on his face. gone.
The two people who were chatting happily looked at each other, and one of them said: "It looks like he really has shoulder pain. I have never heard of such retribution for not keeping good words..."
The other person looked at him as if he were a fool, and secretly wondered how his IQ got him into the top three in the state exam.
Wei Feng took the lead and opened the way. He was stronger and more skilled. While clearing the way for Cao'er and Buji, he would not knock down other candidates in front.
At this time, when someone in the crowd saw Wei Feng, his eyes suddenly lit up. He pushed others and came closer. He laughed at Wei Feng and said, "Hahaha, shopkeeper, come and see the list. Yes." Didn’t you come here specifically to look for me after hearing that I performed well?”
Wei Feng was still clearing the way, but when he heard the sound and the smell of fish that could not be concealed by the crowd, he immediately knew who it was. He turned his head and saw Lou Runfa's ungrateful smile.
He smiled softly and said, "Yes, you will be humiliated if you are not present in the re-examination." What he asked Bu Ji to convey that day, Bu Ji indeed conveyed it to him, and Wei Feng only listened to it as a joke.
Lou Runfa snorted and raised his chin slightly: "That's impossible. I heard Huiyuan from several prefectures and counties discussing the test questions that day, and their answers were almost the same as mine."
"Oh, then congratulations in advance." Wei Feng said with a smile. He could hear the discussion between Huiyuan, which shows that the standard of the party he infiltrated is not too low, and it also shows that Lou Runfa's scientific examination level may indeed be not low.
"Hey, Brother Wei, what a coincidence, we meet again here, oh, and Brother Bu."
At this time, a somewhat familiar voice came. Wei Feng turned his head and saw that it was Fang Baiqing he had met at the beginning. The two of them chatted for a while, but while they were still chatting, the crowd suddenly started to make a noise.
"The results are released!"
"Let's release the list! Let's release the list!"
