The day after the announcement of the results for the government examination is the announcement of the results for the college examination.
Only those who have passed the first exam can participate in the second exam. Those who are successful in the second exam are the scholars of this year. After becoming a scholar, they are people with official status. Therefore, the college exams are compared with the government. Trying to make a list is even more sensational, and many unrelated people come to join in the fun.
Early in the morning, after having breakfast, Cheng Zhao, Shen Zheng and Qian Hui packed up and went to wait for the results to be released.
Cheng Wanwan stayed in the inn waiting for the good news.
Zhao'er will definitely be on the list. She is not worried about this. Xiaozheng, she is not sure, but this kid looks heartless. Even if he is not on the list, he won't be too depressed after thinking about it.
Shen Zheng really didn't take this matter too seriously. If he didn't pass the exam, he would just take it again next year. Anyway, he was still young... ahem, not young anymore.
He is seventeen years old this year. If he takes the exam next year, wouldn't he become the same candidate as Si Dan Yu Zhan? No, it would be too insulting to his reputation as Master Shen. He must pass the exam this year!
Shen Zheng suddenly became nervous.
"You have been exposed to the first test questions before." Cheng Zhao's voice sounded faintly, "As long as you make no mistakes, you should be able to get on the list."
Shen Zhengyixi: "You said so, then I must be on the list."
Qian Hui also became happy: "We are both at about the same level. If you can be on the list, then I can definitely do it too."
"Who is almost at the same level as you?" Shen Zheng immediately clarified the relationship, "You are a kid from a rich family, eating, drinking and having fun every day. I am a good student and study hard every day. If I fail, it will be unreasonable. If you fail, it is reasonable." .”
"You're looking for a fight!"
Qian Hui chased Shen Zheng and started making trouble.
Cheng Zhao smiled and shook his head helplessly. The two of them were not getting along day by day...
He was about to catch up quickly when suddenly, someone bumped into his shoulder. He looked up and saw a girl dressed as a maid. The girl glanced at him and then threw a paper ball into his arms. , after throwing it away, it instantly disappeared into the crowd.
Cheng Zhao was confused. He opened the paper and there was a line written on it: "Please tell us at the corner teahouse."
The handwriting is in small regular script with hairpin flowers. It is neat and elegant. It can be seen that it was written by a woman.
A woman invited him to a teahouse for a chat on the street?
It is against etiquette and law for men and women to meet in private, and this is a taboo!
Cheng Zhao immediately raised his head and looked left and right, but he didn't see any suspicious woman around him.
"Hey, why don't you leave?"
Shen Zheng walked more than ten meters ahead. When he turned around and found Cheng Zhao lagging behind, he shouted loudly.
Cheng Zhao crumpled the note into a ball, hid it in his belt, and quickly followed Shen Zheng's pace.
At the end of the street, there was a gorgeous carriage parked, with a driver and a maid-looking person guarding the carriage.
After waiting for a long time, a cold voice came from inside the car: "Is anyone here?"
"Miss, please go to the front and take a look."
The maid lowered her head and hurriedly walked towards the place where the results were posted, and came back after a while, with a face full of joy: "Miss, Mr. Cheng is at the top of the list. He is the first in the first competition. In this college examination, he will definitely become the winner." Scholar, why not just follow the wishes of the master and his wife..."
"It doesn't matter if you are number one, or if you are a scholar." Miss Leng's voice was even colder. "He has no intention of marrying, and I have no intention of getting married. They are forcibly tied together and are torturing each other. My father and mother made such a bad move. It makes me shameless to see people, this matter must be killed."
The maid wanted to give some advice, but finally swallowed those words and said: "There are too many people over there, and I really can't find a chance. It's better to wait until the second exam is over, and then I can go to the inn to invite you in person. Mr. Cheng, please go to the teahouse to have a talk."
Miss Leng opened the car curtain and glanced over there.
She didn't know why, but there were so many people, thousands of them, crowding the street over there, but she actually saw the man who snatched the hydrangea that day at a glance.
Perhaps because he is at the top of the list and is praised by countless people, he is particularly dazzling.
Perhaps because of his extraordinary aura and jade-like temperament, she could see him at a glance.
Miss Leng lowered the car curtain and whispered: "Let's go back to the house."
Cheng Zhao was surrounded by people, and he felt as if someone was watching him. He looked up at the corner of the street, but only saw a gorgeous carriage slowly driving away.
"Brother Cheng is really a great talent."
"Brother Ziyu topped the list in the first game, and he will be stable in the second game. From now on, it's time to call him Cheng Xiucai."
"The second exam will be tomorrow. I hope Brother Cheng will give you some advice..."
A group of literati surrounded Cheng Zhao.
Before the announcement of the list, these people had not exchanged a word with Cheng Zhao. Once the list was announced, they all gathered around to greet each other, calling each other "Brother Cheng" and even calling me cousin, as if they were familiar with each other.
Not far away, Zheng Wangfeng's face was so dark that it seemed as if ink was dripping from it.
He was second on the list and was beaten hard by Cheng Zhao.
At the beginning, because Cheng Zhao was so outstanding, the chief of Nanfu Academy praised Cheng Zhao very much in words and deeds. He was jealous, so he teamed up with Qian Hui to secretly stumbling against Cheng Zhao.
He thought he had ruined Cheng Zhao's career, but he never expected that Cheng Zhao had such an outstanding aunt.
Qian Hui was originally his younger brother's follower, but because of Sui Ruren, he became Shen Zheng and Cheng Zhao's follower. Zheng Wangfeng really couldn't swallow this feeling.
He gave the follower behind him a look.
The follower was not on the list and was filled with anger. Seeing Zheng Wangfeng's acquiescence, he no longer had any scruples.
He walked forward carelessly and sneered: "A person who was expelled from Nanfu Academy for cheating has the nerve to be the first in the academy examination, ha!"
As soon as these words came out, the people around him looked surprised.
"How can I still enter the venue if I have a history of cheating?"
"Has he really been expelled from Nanfu Academy? Then how could anyone vouch for him?"
"I just said, how could the person at the top of the list be a person whose name I have never heard of? It turns out there is something inside..."
Cheng Zhao's voice was calm: "Before entering the venue, the examiner will find out who I am. If I really have a criminal record, how could the examiner let me in? Since I can participate in the college examination, it means that your words are false and you are slandering the candidates in public. Do you know what the crime is?"
"How can you throw dirty water on Brother Cheng in public?" Zheng Wangfeng walked over with a look of condemnation, "Although Brother Cheng was indeed expelled from Nanfu Academy at the beginning, he later begged to go to the county magistrate. , haven’t we already checked it out, it’s just a misunderstanding.”
As soon as these words came out, the people around him looked at Cheng Zhao with various scrutiny.
Since Nanfu Academy has issued an expulsion order, it means that there is indeed cheating.
Later, after investigation, it was determined that it was a misunderstanding. It was very likely that Cheng Zhao had brought huge benefits to the Academy Headmaster, so the matter was dropped.
But it still can't change the fact that Cheng Zhao cheated.
If Cheng Zhao is disqualified, then all of them will move up one rank, which is a great thing...
Seeing the calculations in everyone's eyes, Zheng Wangfeng smiled quietly.
Although Cheng Zhao's qualification for the college examination cannot really be cancelled, as long as it can cause trouble for Cheng Zhao and affect Cheng Zhao's second examination results, it is enough.
He must be the leader of the college examination. This is an honor that Zheng Wangfeng must grasp.
"Zheng Wangfeng, you are such a bastard!" Shen Zheng closed the paper fan in his hand and cursed loudly, "Brother Cheng was expelled from Nanfu Academy. What happened? Do we need to confront him in public?"
