When Xu He returned to the Zhuangyuan Building, as soon as he entered the door, he noticed that everyone looked wrong.
There was silence in the lobby of Nuo University.
When everyone saw Xu He coming in, they didn't even raise their heads, they sat in their seats and sighed.
When Gao Bi saw Xu He, he frowned and said, "What's the point of this? Why are you going out?"
Xu He said: "I'll go to Sihai Inn to talk to my classmates from the county school!"
When he mentioned studying in Hailing County, Gao Bi immediately became energetic.
"How's it going? Is there any student in Hailing County who has passed the examination?" Gao Bi's eyes were full of inquiry and...expectation.
"Yes, and I got two!"
As soon as these words came out, Gao Bi's whole body became visibly exhausted.
In the originally silent lobby, a dejected mood instantly filled the air.
Xu He finally understood.
Until now, no one from the entire Yangzhou Fu School has come to report the good news, otherwise it would not be like this.
No wonder Gao Bi is like this.
Because of his good knowledge and upright character, he was highly anticipated by the elders of Yangzhou.
The officials and people of Yangzhou originally thought that after Gao Bi came, they could revive the glory of the government school. Unexpectedly, the county school gave birth to two successful candidates, but there was no movement at all in the government school.
At this time, the waiter from Zhuangyuan Building ran over panting and said: "Reporting to Professor Gao, when I came back, there were already sixty-seven people in Gongyuan."
Gongyuan's list of honors is not all written in one go.
The main theme is a sense of expectation.
Often the examiner will write one name, post another name, and then ask someone to post the next name.
This is also to allow the new Xiaolians to enjoy the congratulations of more people, and not be robbed of the limelight by the previous ones.
Everyone counted the time and found that half of the provincial examination rankings were down, but not a single student from Yangzhou Prefectural School was on the rankings.
Even Xie Liangcai and Xu He, whom Gao Bi is looking forward to the most, are not on the list.
Let’s just say he is in a hurry or not.
Xu He sat down next to Xie Liangcai.
I saw that the flirtatious brother, who usually had a cool and unrestrained persona, was no longer interested in talking at this time.
He picked up the teapot and poured Xu He a cup, then sat aside and pretended to study. Unfortunately, he was just pretending. Xu He looked up and looked out the window when he saw him, thinking about it, he was already very anxious.
Just then, a gong suddenly sounded.
"Bang, bang, bang..." Everyone looked out expectantly.
Suddenly Ouyang Jun said in surprise: "Yes, he is coming to our No. 1 Scholar Building!"
Sure enough, the next second the horses stopped in front of the No. 1 Scholar Building.
Several people who announced the good news came in and congratulated: "Who is Ouyang Jun from Hailing County, Yangzhou Prefecture, South Zhili? Congratulations to the fifty-eighth high school champion!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
In an instant, the crowd exploded.
"Brother Katsuragi!"
"Congratulations brother Katsuki!"
"Brother Ouyang, your Hailing County is really a place of outstanding people. The number one person in Yangzhou Fuxue has been taken away by your Hailing County again!"
Gao Bi breathed a sigh of relief, and his face was no longer so frosty.
Ouyang Jun's current state cannot be said to be similar to that of Wu Minzhi, it can only be said to be exactly the same.
His face turned red and he kept laughing like an idiot.
Anyone who comes will be greeted politely.
When he was happy, he took out the broken silver he had secretly prepared from his arms and threw it in front of the door as if he was dying.
The person who announced the good news and the onlookers in the restaurant were all busy grabbing it. The scene was very lively.
After the person who brought the good news left, Ouyang Jun saluted Xu He solemnly and said: "Liangsheng, if you hadn't ignored the past grudges in the annual exam, I wouldn't be where I am today. I can't tell you, please accept my great gift!"
After saying that, he opened the bench, bowed to the ground and gave Xu He a big gift.
Xu He quickly avoided it, helped Ouyang Jun up and said: "Brother Ke Yong, this is your fate and your efforts. The past is over. Besides, your Ouyang family built bridges and did good deeds for the people in your hometown. This is I dare not take the blessing God has given your family!"
When people around him heard this, they were filled with admiration for Xu He.
If it were anyone else, they would probably be jealous to death at this moment. Even if they expressed their gratitude, they could not hide the feeling of disappointment.
But Xu He's eyes were clear, his face was serious, and his words were sincere. It was obvious at a glance that he was really happy for Ouyang Jun.
Who wouldn’t be heartbroken by such a person with such magnanimity?
With Xu He's return, Yangzhou Fuxue's luck seemed to have suddenly opened up.
Two more people went to high school one after another.
Gao Bi was very excited. In his year-end assessment, the three of them had reached the standard.
Now that he has achieved his goal, his year-end exam is definitely an "Excellent".
This also means that next year Yangzhou Prefecture will increase its support for private schools.
His life will never be as miserable as last year.
But Gao Bi's only regret is that his son still hasn't moved.
Based on his understanding of his son, if Gao Guoguang's article is to win, it should be at the back of the list.
But now that the ranking has reached more than 30, my son's hope of winning the exam is slim.
Moreover, why have Xu He and Xie Liangcai, the two most promising students, been silent until now?
Is it because of what happened before the exam?
Thinking of this, Gao Bi's eyes showed a trace of regret.
Xu He also discovered at this time that Gao Guoguang's mood was not normal.
He patted Gao Guoguang on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, if you fail this subject, you may come back in three years. We are all still young!"
Gao Guoguang smiled bitterly and said: "I know my level, but I still can't help but have expectations! Liangsheng, don't worry, I won't be discouraged. When the time comes, can you teach me how to be righteous?"
"Discuss!" Xu He smiled.
Xie Liangcai finally put down the book and said, "I'm going back!"
Xu He nodded and said, "I happen to be tired too. Brother Dev, let's go back and rest for a while."
Everyone saw the two people who had the greatest hope of winning the imperial examination leaving together.
Some expressed regret: "Both his articles were very good, but I don't know if his performance was abnormal this time!"
Some people were jealous: "How are those two people praised by outsiders on weekdays? Haha, once they get serious, they will be completely ruined!"
The kind person said: "Say less, Liang Sheng and Mrs. De are both good! Is it really okay for you to say that about them?"
Some people are cynical: "Don't worry about them. Even if they don't win the election, they may still be officials. We people, even if we win the election, may not be as popular as others!"
On the way back to the hospital, Xie Liangcai said: "This is the second time. If I don't win the election again, I will get a wife!"
Xu He saw that he was in a low mood and deliberately teased him: "No, if you don't win, wait another three years. After all, your brother Defu's wish is to be captured by the rich and noble daughters of the capital!"
"Hahaha, me? I can't do it. I'll be too old when the time comes, so I'll tell you that you have hope. How about I ask you to be my consort?"
"Brother Dev, you are trying to ruin my future!"
…
"Please pay attention, ask for monthly tickets, ask for recommendations, and ask for free gifts!
Xu He's ranking depends on his brothers' advancement! "
