"How can it be?"
"how come?"
"How could it be possible that my name is not there?"
Sheng Changfeng stood at the front of the crowd in disbelief, looking at the yellow list posted in front of everyone in despair.
He looked at them one by one, column by column!
Sheng Changfeng looked at every name and word with enough force to make his eyes pop out!
Unfortunately!
The result is still the same!
"impossible!"
"Will not!"
"There must be a mistake somewhere!"
"Mistaken……"
Sheng Changfeng had a pale face and trembling lips as he muttered something "wrong", as if he was mentally disturbed.
However, it only took a moment for him to recover again, but he still stretched his head and looked hard at the list in front of him, trying to find something on it that he hoped to see.
"Where?"
"Where exactly is it?"
"..."
However, Sheng Changfeng was not the only one who looked like this at this time.
In this crowded crowd, in addition to those who announced the good news, there were many celebrants, all with pale faces, searching for their names on the list, trying to find a miracle.
Yes, for them, how can it not be a miracle to be on the list?
"Brother, where is your name?"
But just when Sheng Changfeng was greatly shocked and panicked, Mo Lan's voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"Brother, why didn't I see your name?"
"Don't make any noise!"
Hearing his sister's question, Sheng Changfeng immediately shouted without thinking.
Then, feeling irritable, he immediately replied with a guilty conscience: "You..."
"What are you arguing about...?"
Although he was scared, Sheng Changfeng tried his best to keep a straight face at this moment and shouted at Mo Lan: "I..."
"I...amn't I looking for it too?"
At this time, Sheng Changfeng must maintain his "strong character" and never let others see his inner thoughts. Otherwise, if his timidity is revealed, he will be disgraced!
However, he didn't want to think about it. With his current posture, who wouldn't be able to see the secret?
Not to mention Mo Lan, Lin Sushuang and other close relatives, even the good news messenger team composed of small vendors could see what Sheng Changfeng was hiding in his expression at this time.
"Aniang~"
Seeing Sheng Changfeng's attitude, Mo Lan felt aggrieved and went to Lin Sushuang to cry.
Unexpectedly, before she could say anything, she suddenly heard Lin Sushuang open her mouth and say: "Let's go!"
"Ah? Grandma, you..."
Mo Lan was pulled by the wrist and was immediately blinded.
"Walk!"
Lin Sushuang had a dark face and didn't even look at Sheng Changfeng beside her. She just grabbed Mo Lan's wrist and walked out with her head down.
"Aniang, my brother's name hasn't been found yet? We..."
"try to find?"
"What else are you looking for?"
Lin Sushuang now really lives up to her name, with a frosty look on her face!
"This little beast didn't even hit it!"
Lin Sushuang gritted her teeth and said: "If his name can be found now, then he is really a ghost!"
She was righteous in her heart at this moment, so naturally she looked unhappy!
"I am really blind. I actually believe what this little beast said and think what Mr. Zhuang said is wrong!"
Thinking back on her slander towards Mr. Zhuang these past few days, Lin Sushuang wanted to slap him in the mouth again!
Of course both are for Sheng Changfeng.
"Aunt..."
Seeing Lin Sushuang's annoyed look, Mo Lan had no choice but to slowly shut up, not daring to make any more reports.
After all, if you add fuel to the fire at this time, you may burn yourself.
Just like that, the two women dumped Sheng Changfeng and returned to the Sheng family's motorcade.
And the other side.
"well!"
Just after Lin Sushuang and her daughter left, a tall, fat and black man with thick muscles and thick hair suddenly walked up behind Sheng Changfeng and said, "I said!"
This guy bumped into Sheng Changfeng in front of him with his strong shoulder, and shouted in a low voice: "Have you finished reading?"
"When you've finished reading, just step aside!"
"I'm still anxious to see which literary stars are there so I can get some lucky money!"
"Thum! Thug! Thumb!"
Sheng Changfeng was unprepared and was knocked forward by this guy!
He almost fell to the ground!
If it weren't for the fact that there were some officers in front who were maintaining order and protecting the list, and they used water and fire sticks to cross Sheng Changfeng's body to block him, then Sheng Changfeng would definitely make a big fool of himself this time. "Falling geese on flat sand"!
"You...you...who are you?"
"You guy, do you know who I am?"
Sheng Changfeng first rubbed the pain caused by being pressed against the water and fire rod, then stood firm, and then looked back angrily!
"Do you want to die?"
Sheng Changfeng warned the other party very forcefully.
Although the opponent was full of muscles and huge, Sheng Changfeng was not afraid at all. Deep down in his heart, he even had a faint urge to fight with him.
Of course, this was not because he wanted to be beaten, but because Sheng Changfeng knew that the man opposite was just a commoner.
But Sheng Changfeng was different. He was a master who passed the provincial examination. Their identities were completely different.
Even if Sheng Changfeng hits him, the other party will not dare to fight back. Otherwise, this stupid, black and rough man will be involved in the following lawsuits.
It is precisely because of this that Sheng Changfeng has such a psychological advantage!
However, this dark and strong man dared to challenge the defeated ones like this, but he also had their survival wisdom.
"Hmph, you scholar is so rude!"
This dark, muscular man already had a loud voice, but now that he was deliberately promoting it, his voice was even more widespread.
"Obviously I have already failed, but I still have to move forward and occupy other candidates' positions!"
"And I just said a few words to you, and you want to threaten to beat me?"
"With your temper, it's a good thing you didn't hit the target. Otherwise, wouldn't the people under your control have no way to survive?"
"you……"
This dark and muscular man looks like a rough man, but his skills with his mouth are not weak.
Not only did he use public opinion to suppress Sheng Changfeng, but more importantly, he never left the word "failed" in three sentences. However, in just a few sentences, Sheng Changfeng lost a lot of face.
"you……"
Seeing more and more people watching him, Sheng Changfeng became anxious!
At this time, let alone making any moves, there was no time to even move his mouth.
In the end, Sheng Changfeng could only wriggle his lips, unable to spit out even a single word.
"snort!"
After all, Sheng Changfeng still didn't have the courage to risk everything. Seeing the situation, he immediately covered his face and ran away from the crowd.
"hehe!"
After Sheng Changfeng left, the dark man also chuckled a few times. He secretly bumped the purse in his arms and raised the corners of his mouth.
"Hey, there are quite a lot of meatheads today!"
"It's not a waste of our Lao Hei's skills!"
Meathead is a derogatory term for prey.
Obviously, the wallet in the hands of this dark man was stolen from Sheng Changfeng, and his actions of deliberately provoking the other party were probably part of his premeditated plan.
Therefore, without everyone knowing, Sheng Changfeng not only lost face, but also lost his wallet. This can be said to be a complete loss inside and outside!
However, he was not the only one who failed this time.
His classmates and friends, Young Master Qi and Gu Tingye, the Marquis of Ningyuan, are also from the end of the world!
…
far away.
In the carriage of Duke Qi's mansion, Qi Heng was sitting with his parents, Duke Qi and Princess Pingning. At this time, when the three of them were feeling anxious, they heard a knock on the window.
"Boom!"
"Quick! Tell me quickly! Where will my son be in this examination?"
As soon as he heard the strange noise, Qi Guogong was so excited that he opened his mouth and asked the person outside.
The person knocking on the window outside was Qi Heng's personal Chang Suibei.
At this time, when Buwei heard the problem in the carriage, he felt embarrassed immediately!
"Old...master!"
Buwei first looked at each other a few times with the companions behind him, and then with everyone's uncomfortable expressions, he replied with difficulty: "Master, we... didn't see the young master's name this time."
Buwei spoke very softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the people in the car.
However, no matter how soft Buwei's voice was, after he finished speaking, the entire Qi Guogong's motorcade immediately fell silent.
Next to them, all the servants who witnessed the expressions of Buwei Waiting and others were all looking at their noses and their minds, as if they were wood carvings and said nothing at all.
Obviously, they also guessed what Qi Heng's results would be this time.
——Of course, he failed!
In the carriage.
Although he had already been mentally prepared, Qi Heng's face turned pale when he heard the news!
Not only did Qi Heng lose color, but Princess Pingning on the side immediately lowered her face, closed her eyes, and her whole aura became extremely solemn.
"Cough cough... cough cough..."
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more solemn, Qi Guogong could only think of ways to adjust: "This... is nothing!"
"Heng'er didn't do well in the exam this time, so I'll just continue next year!"
"Also...it's not a big deal!"
After all, Qi Heng was the only child of the Duke of Qi, and he was so outstanding, so he was naturally very distressed. Seeing that his wife was silent because of disappointment, the Duke of Qi would be able to come on stage himself and deliberately use words to comfort Qi. Balanced.
"Yes, father!"
Qi Heng lowered his head: "It's my son who failed to live up to the expectations of his father and mother!"
"Son... was at fault!"
"Uh-huh!"
After hearing Qi Heng's words, Princess Pingning suddenly raised her head, opened her eyes, and took a deep look at him.
But he didn't speak, he just glanced lightly and closed his eyes again.
However, looking at her deeply sunken nails holding the fan, you can already tell how excited she is!
"ah!"
"Heng'er!"
Duke Qi looked at his son who lowered his head to admit his mistake with some distress. Seeing that he never dared to raise his head, he became a little anxious for a moment!
"Oh, that's enough!"
Duke Guo of Qi pushed his wife's wrist and motioned for her to open her mouth and say a few words.
He knew that the main reason why Qi Heng did not dare to raise his head was that Princess Pingning did not say anything. In the Duke of Qi's mansion, Princess Pingning was the only head of the household.
As for Qi Guogong, he is just a tool to support the appearance.
However, Duke Qi and Princess Ning do have real feelings for each other. Perhaps they would have conflicts in the past because of this, but over time, they may have become accustomed to each other's presence.
At the very least, Qi Heng has never seen his parents blush since he was sensible.
"Say something quickly!"
Duke Guo of Qi looked at Princess Pingning and motioned her to speak with his eyes.
"okay!"
Seeing the anxious look of her officials, Princess Pingning could only calm down her inner turmoil temporarily and said something.
"Heng'er, you...get up!"
After all, it was because she was unhappy. After Princess Pingning said this, she immediately told the handle outside: "Let's go back to the house!"
"yes!"
When the handlers outside the carriage heard the master's order, they immediately responded, and then slowly drove the carriage, preparing to return to the Duke of Qi's Mansion.
"ah!"
"Someone's been hit!"
"Yes, it's the second son of the Sheng family, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who won the prize!"
"..."
But just as the carriage was moving, a loud shouting suddenly came from outside.
"Huh? Erlang of the Sheng family?"
Duke Qi's expression changed, and he began to ask Qi Heng, "Heng'er, is this second son of the Sheng family your classmate Sheng Changbai?"
"good!"
Hearing his father mention this, Qi Heng suddenly felt happy.
"Father, from what is said outside, it seems that Brother Changbai has already won the ranking!"
"oh!"
Duke Guo of Qi touched his beard and said with emotion: "Brother Xiu Jin is so lucky!"
Because Qi Heng paid homage to Sheng Mansion, Qi Guogong also had dealings with Sheng Hong. Due to Sheng Hong's communication talent, Qi Guogong thought highly of him.
"Neither humble nor arrogant, this is the style of a gentleman!" - This is the Duke of Qi's evaluation of Sheng Hong.
"In that case, Heng'er, then go down and say congratulations to the second son of the Sheng family!"
Before Qi Heng could speak, Qi Guogong opened his mouth to give instructions.
"Although you didn't win this time, you won't win, so don't feel uncomfortable!"
Qi Guogong didn't know what his son was thinking, so he began to say as a person who had experienced it: "No matter what, the relationship between you classmates must be maintained!"
"I think that although the Sheng family is not rich in background, it has a very upright family style!"
"Think about it, in a few more decades, the Sheng family will definitely be able to flourish and soar into the sky..."
Duke Guo of Qi was talking eloquently. In his words, he was really very optimistic about the Sheng family and felt that they were showing signs of development.
"Yes, father!"
Qi Heng waited for Qi Guogong to finish his words, and suddenly said with a joyful expression: "My son will go to congratulate Brother Changbai now!"
With that said, he saluted directly to Qi Guogong and his wife, then jumped off the carriage and walked in the direction of the Sheng family's carriage.
"Eh? What's wrong with Heng'er..."
Seeing Qi Heng's appearance, Qi Guogong was also a little strange.
"snort!"
At this time, Princess Pingning suddenly opened her eyes and gave him a fierce look!
"You old man!"
"You, my precious son, don't want to congratulate your classmates at all!"
"But he just wants to meet his sweetheart!"
Princess Pingning was so angry that the veins on her hands were so intense that they seemed to be about to explode in half!
"Sweetheart?"
The Duke of Qi was stunned when his wife said this!
"This child...has really grown up!"
When the old prince sighed in a low voice, he did not notice at all the pair of eyes beside him that wanted to spit out fire!
