"Brother Su."
No matter what he was afraid of, failing to pass the second exam already made Su Junsheng feel very uncomfortable.
Before he had time to leave from the list, he saw Wei Gaoyang rushing over in high spirits.
As the number one winner in both government examinations, Wei Gaoyang was surrounded by people wherever he went.
"How did you do in this exam? You must have made the list."
His attitude seemed to be caring, but it always made Su Junsheng feel uncomfortable.
The other party seemed to be showing off something.
Alas, maybe I am overthinking it...
He shook his head and said with a wry smile: "No, it will come again next year."
The government examination is held once a year. If you fail this year, you will have to take it again next year.
Fortunately, Su Junsheng is still young and has plenty of time to retake the exam.
He could only comfort himself in this way.
"Before coming, the gentlemen all praised Brother Su's talent and learning. They said that if anyone from our Dongqi Town passes the exam this year, Brother Su will definitely be on the list."
I don’t know if he did it on purpose, but his voice became louder and louder.
In the already lively area, more people gathered around, wanting to see what the examinee who was praised by the head of the case looked like.
Su Junsheng felt ashamed, and the feeling of discomfort in his heart became even heavier.
Wei Gaoyang no longer seemed to be showing off.
He seemed to be laughing at himself...
"Excellent. If you didn't pass the exam, you didn't pass the exam." The brothers of the Su family are all gentle and polite outside, but they will never suffer the looks of others without reason.
Su Junsheng didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he squeezed through the crowd and left this uncomfortable place.
Su Junsheng was not shortlisted for the second exam, and Su Junsheng's government exam ended here.
After the boy packed his things, he stood alone by the window of the inn and felt very depressed.
He started reading at the age of seven.
Among the three brothers of the Su family, he has always been considered the most talented in reading.
The eldest brother is keen on making money, and the second brother is keen on practicing martial arts. The only thing he can do well is study.
But now... I haven't even passed the government examination.
Su Junsheng was quite disappointed with himself.
The sweet sound of pipa came in from the open window, and Su Junsheng was in a trance for a moment.
He doesn't understand music, but at this moment, this ethereal music seems to be the only medicine in the world that can save him.
As he plucked the strings, the gentle and gentle appearance of the woman playing the piano appeared before his eyes.
"Third Young Master, shall we leave now?"
The boy came over cautiously and asked.
Su Junsheng hesitated for a moment and looked downstairs again.
The pipa girl in the distance seemed to know that he was about to leave, and the music sounded even more sad and melodious.
After a thousand thoughts in his mind, he finally raised the corner of his robe and said to the boy: "Don't be in a hurry, just wait for me."

"What's so exciting about playing and playing outside?"
On this day, Su Junting was collecting bills at a clothing store. Hearing the bustling noise outside, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
It's not the New Year, is there any happy event for anyone?
The shop assistant ran out to watch the excitement, and soon he came back with the news: "It's the Wei family on West Street. I heard that the young master of his family passed the exam and was celebrating!"
It’s been more than half a month since the last Lifu exam ended.
Indeed, candidates have begun to come back one after another.
"I don't know how the third child did in the exam. This kid doesn't know how to bring a letter back."
Su Junting muttered a little dissatisfied.
But in fact, at this moment, his heart felt as if grass had grown, and he kept looking outside the door.
How could that idiot from the Wei family on West Street still pass the exam?
Then the third child in his family must have passed the exam.
"Okay, let's settle this account tomorrow."
In the end, he couldn't hold on any longer, so he threw down his account book and hurriedly ran out of the clothing store.
I just happened to meet the master of the Wei family taking Wei Gaoyang to show off everywhere.
He hurriedly came forward and said congratulations.
The Wei family is also engaged in business, but the scale and quantity of their business are far inferior to that of the Su family.
Therefore, when Wei Qing saw the Su family on weekdays, his expressions were very fawning.
But today, perhaps because his son passed the exam and became the head of the case, he wanted to fly to the sky, he was so proud.
Su Junting didn't know him either.
"Is my third child back with you?" he asked Wei Gaoyang.
Different from his father's villainous demeanor, Wei Gaoyang has tempered his attitude a lot.
But when he heard Su Junsheng's name, he pursed his lower lip, and shook his head in embarrassment as if he was suppressing some emotion: "I don't know about that, Brother Su... he is not on the same road as me."
It's normal to have different paths. After all, the third child usually has a normal relationship with Wei.
But he's already back, and the third child is probably coming soon.
Su Junting didn't think too much, bid farewell to the Wei family and his son and hurried back home.
Looking at the eldest young master of the Su family whose back was still straight when he left, Wei Qing curled his lips and said to his son beside him: "What's the big deal about having a few filthy rich people? His younger brother still couldn't even pass the government examination!"
There were people watching the excitement around, and they were all in disbelief when they heard this.
"What? The third son of the Su family didn't pass the imperial examination?"
Isn’t it said that the third child in his family is a literary star who came from heaven and is very good at reading?
Everyone was in disbelief.
"Alas, times have changed. He may not be so lucky this time."
Wei Gaoyang suppressed the smile on his lips, and together with his father, he held his head high and continued to show off to others.
----
The scene of meeting the father and son of the Wei family on the road made Su Junting feel a little unhappy.
There is only one chief executive in the government examination, so since he is called Wei Gaoyang, that idiot can get away with it.
Then the third child in his family, no matter how good he is, can only get second place in the exam.
Why? ?
Are all the examiners who grade the papers blind?
When I returned home feeling sulky, I bumped into Yuan Bao, who had been out playing in the mud all day.
Yuanbao's little face was dirty, but he looked eager to try, and he didn't know where he was going with the yellow fox Xiaoyun.
The third child is not at home recently, and the little one is really letting himself go.
Su Junting quickly stopped the person, pretending to be angry and said: "What are you going to do now, making it so dirty?"
The eldest brother has never had a temper.
Even if he has a little temper, as long as he gives him the money he makes next time, he will lose his temper...
Yuan Bao stuck out his tongue and said with a smile, "I'm going to play with Xiao Liuzi!"
Xiaoliuzi is the neighbor's child in the front yard, one year older than Yuanbao. They didn't know each other until they started fighting. The former child just beat each other up, and now he has become a little friend who can play in the mud together.
"Xiao Liuzi doesn't believe Xiaoyun can talk, I'll take it to her and show it to her!"
Who can a child believe that a fox that looks like a dog can talk?
Xiaoyun also held his head proudly, with an expression on his face that said, "I can indeed speak."
Su Junting had a dark look on his face.
Although my family has accepted Yuanbao's nagging appearance, it's best not to let the neighbors know about it.
He quickly pushed all the foxes back into the yard, closed the door, put on a straight face, and threatened Yuan Bao: "Your third brother has finished the government examination and will be back soon. I suggest you make up for it." Do your homework, otherwise he will definitely miss you when he comes back, and your second brother and I will not care about you then."
What? Is Brother Shan back so soon?
Little Yuanbao, who had been smiling just now, fell to the ground after hearing the news.
Then why don't you take the imperial examination for the rest of your life? Why is her brother Shan coming back so soon?
"I..." As if she thought of something, she raised her head again and wanted to bargain with Su Junting.
But before she could express her thoughts, she heard a noise at the door.
"Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here soon. The third child is back so soon."
Su Junting smiled evilly and patted Yuan Bao's little head, then turned to open the door.
