Upon hearing this, the four people from Chu Yuan who were traveling with Xu He looked at Xu He with surprise on their faces.
Chu Yuan raised his hands in the air, even happier than he was to win the title of chief prosecutor: "Xu He, chief prosecutor of the government, is here, here!"
Suddenly, the crowd turned to look at Xu He.
The fat man next to me who was just talking about the round of examinations immediately said excitedly when he saw this: "Xu Xu, Xu Xu, the young master of Jintai Silk Shop in Xia Yangzhou City, also took the government examination with you this year."
Xu He smiled slightly at him and nodded.
The fat man suddenly became happy: "Xu is handsome, well-read, and so friendly to others. His future prospects are limitless."
Xu He couldn't hear his compliments at this time. He was so dizzy that he was overwhelmed by people's smiling faces, greetings and salutes.
He could only mechanically thank the crowd around him.
While the crowd was noisy, the reading of the list at the gate of the government office continued.
"Xinghua County, Li Qingzhou!"
"Jiangdu County, Yan Ping!"
"Haimen County, Gu Jing!"
"Gaoyouzhou, Lin An!"
…
The names were read one by one, but except for Xu He, there were still no names for the other four people.
At this time, Chu Yuan and others looked obviously nervous.
Especially Liu Zhigao, every time he hears a name that is not his own, the sense of loss on his face increases.
The other two people, who said they were here to exercise, were actually grabbing the sleeves of their robes nervously, and their exposed fingers were turned white.
After Xu He dismissed everyone, when he saw the four people like this, he advised: "Don't worry, I just read more than 20 names! There is still a chance!"
Liu Zhigao almost burst into tears. While shaking his head, he murmured to himself: "There is no hope, there is no hope, all these years of reading have been in vain!"
At this time, even Chu Yuan, who had just been happy for Xu He, bit his lower lip tightly with a stern look on his face, looking in the direction of the list at the government office gate without blinking.
"Rugao County, Qiu Zhen!"
"I won! I'm a child student!" Not far away, a schoolboy named Qiu Zhen went crazy and yelled all over the world. Venting out the anxiety in his chest.
When Chu Yuan saw this, his eyes became even more sad, because Qiu Zhen was already the 47th student to pass the government examination.
In other words, there are only two spots left.
Xu He patted his shoulder hard and said nothing, because Xu He knew that silence was better than sound at this time, and the support Chu Yuan needed was not verbal.
"Hailing County, Chu Yuan!"
Suddenly, a voice came.
Xu He's eyes lit up and he turned to look at Chu Yuan excitedly.
Chu Yuan was stunned, standing on the spot in disbelief, and murmured: "I have tried to pass the government? I...I have tried to pass the government?"
At this moment, he burst into tears, crying like a tearful man.
But the people around him, including Xu He, did not laugh at him, but looked at Chu Yuan with a smile.
Xu He, in particular, felt happy for this classmate, even happier than he had just won the title of government examination chief.
As the fifty names were read, some were happy and some were sad.
Compared to such a low admission rate.
Two of the five people who acted as mutual guarantees actually passed. This probability is almost enough to buy a lottery ticket.
An uncontrollable smile appeared on Chu Yuan's face.
To be honest, if Xu He's article was criticized by the prefect on the spot because he was the county's chief criminal, his admission would be a sure thing.
But Chu Yuan was different. Although he could memorize the Four Books, he still struggled with the Five Classics.
This time, he was lucky. He happened to encounter a question that he knew well, and he did a pretty good job in the article. Perhaps because of his talent in literature and music, he happened to be accepted by Magistrate Peng.
Perhaps one or two sentences in the article were approved by Magistrate Peng before it was approved, which can be said to be extremely lucky.
This is also the reason why Chu Yuan, a very mature guy, burst into tears.
At this time, Liu Zhigao and the other three were in a rather embarrassing situation.
Logically speaking, Xu He and Chu Yuan should be happy that they passed the imperial examination.
But they felt extremely bitter in their hearts, especially Liu Zhigao. After returning this time, he would leave social studies and start making a living.
Seeing two classmates in the same sociology major pass, but himself failing sadly, he felt mixed emotions.
Xu He knew that this was the pain in their hearts, so he carefully advised: "There are many ways to live in life, and the imperial examination may not always be a smooth road. Don't lose hope, a better future is waiting for you ahead!"
Although they knew that what he said was comforting words, the three of them felt better.
At this time, the official who just stood at the door of the government examination came out again, holding a super large red paper and pasted it next to the round list.
"It's the first article written by Xu Anshou!" Someone in front explained loudly.
Hearing this, most of the people present were scholars. On that day of the government examination, they heard that Prefect Peng greatly praised Xu He's article. They were also curious about what kind of article could be written that could make the prefect praise him so much.
Someone shouted: "For those of you in front of me, please read Xu Anshou's article, it will open my eyes!"
After a while, someone pushed forward and started reading.
"The sage praises the joy of Yu. He is well prepared in literature and emotionally."
"This question is simple and direct, with a concise outline and no fussy words. The question alone is enough to show that Xu Anshou is worthy of the name of this government examination!"
"Indeed, compared to him, my problem-solving is just tasteless and unsightly!"
"Fu's music is a description of merit. Shun's music was prepared with extremely emotional writing. How can there be anything wrong with it? Master praised it and praised it. He was deeply moved!"
"Wonderful! Joy is a description of merit. Xu Xiaoyou does not write directly in the article, nor does he pretend to be a sage to make comments. He only melts merit into beauty and kindness and returns it to the topic. This shows the thoroughness and lofty intention of the article! "A Juren who came to see the fun shook his head and sighed!
When the people around him or the government examination candidates who didn't understand the beauty of the article heard this, they immediately sighed in their hearts: "After all, he is the head of the case. Even the master of the case has praised him, so how can there be anything bad about him?"
When that person reads "The sheng, the yong, the harp, the harp, and the harp are the perfect harmony, the heart of those who hear it melts." Qian, Qi, Yu and Yao have flowers that are ready to be picked up, but those who watch them forget to be tired, and all the scholars present were stunned.
Especially the judge just now, he stared stupidly in the direction of the gate of the government office.
The people around him were still waiting for the old man to praise him, and when they saw him like this, they all felt uneasy.
"Could it be that these two sentences in Xu's article were not written well?"
"What's going on, Mr. Juren?"
"Is there any scholar who understands it? Tell us about it!"
After a while, the judge covered his face and cried loudly: "This article has a novel format and is both literary and scientific. Although there are many famous writers in the country, there is never such a melting of literary talent into the meaning. Moreover, the purpose of the article is far-reaching. In the future, this Xu case leader will definitely Can win consecutive championships!"
"What?"
"Master Ju Ren, did you say that Mr. Xu's article can pass the examination for Ju Ren?"
"this……"
The scholars around were all crazy.
"Brother, are you exaggerating?" A student wearing a Lan shirt felt that Juren's words were too exaggerated and raised questions on the spot.
The judge sneered, rolled his sleeves and said, "I'm not at my level yet to appreciate the brilliance of this article. I don't want to talk to you anymore! Go back and study for a few more years!"
