In fact, as early as yesterday, Sheng Changquan had already dispatched Xu Changqing in a hurry. strew
For no other reason than to seize the opportunity and know the results of the ranking first.
You know, today is the big day for the announcement of the results, and many people are waiting on the streets for the government official to post the results.
If you don't squeeze in at the beginning, you will have to queue up later.
No matter which famous family you come from or which noble you are, at this critical moment, even if the King of Heaven comes, he has to arrange it carefully...
Well!
Of course, if officials really came, there might not be a queue.
All in all, at this time, you must be one step ahead and take action early. strew
Even though Sheng Changquan pretended to be as handsome and as stable as an old dog here, in fact, he was also panicking.
Whether this is a success or not, it really does not necessarily only depend on literary talent, but the examiner's personal factors also account for a large proportion.
It can only be said that if you have poor literary talent, you will definitely fail, but if you write well, you may not be able to win.
Although Sheng Changquan had gotten some inside information from his second brother and even the Shen family before the exam, and knew some of the writing habits of Mr. Zhai Jingnian, the examiner, but how could he do such a thing accurately?
There were too many variables involved, so he was very nervous in his heart, far less calm than he was on the surface.
However, in order to maintain his character, Sheng Changquan naturally had to use 200% of his acting skills to deceive the world, and even himself, to soothe the anxiety in his heart.
Getting back to the topic, just when everyone was getting anxious and exhausted from waiting, the crowd in the distance suddenly exploded. strew
"The results are released!"
In the crowd, someone shouted: "Quick!"
"The results are released!"
In an instant, almost everyone's attention was attracted. Even the beggars on the street in the distance stretched their necks and watched carefully.
The posture looked like they were also participating, with a strong sense of ownership.
"when!"
With the sound of a gong, a group of government officials slowly walked over holding bright ranking papers. strew
"Uh-huh!"
The eyes of all the people who crowded forward were brightened, and then the crowd slowly retreated with their footsteps until a small path was left.
The scene suddenly became unexpectedly harmonious and tacit understanding.
The government officials were not surprised by this. After all, they could see this kind of thing every few years, and they were obviously used to it.
As for the leading officer in red, he didn't even raise his eyelids. He picked up a golden gold list, symbolizing the majesty of the royal family, and sang loudly: "Publish the list~"
"boom!"
The crowd made a fuss at first, and then suddenly fell silent. strew
Everyone watching the list remained silent and just stared at the thin papers in front of them.
Ten years of hard study are all contained in this piece of paper.
After the red-clothed yamen servants sang, all the yamen servants did not reply, but just accepted. Then they were assigned to each other according to the arrangements. In groups of several people, they posted the lists in their hands on the wall of the examination hall.
Because it was a provincial examination among the capital, at this time, the list was posted outside the walls of the examination room just like the imperial examination was posted in Gongyuan. Moreover, the order in which the officials posted it was interesting. announced forward.
It can be seen from this that literati also have some bad tastes in their hearts.
"I...I passed the exam!"
When the first list was just posted, someone in the dark crowd suddenly raised their arms and shouted. strew
Likewise, this person also arouses the envious eyes of those around him.
"Where's me? Where's mine?"
"Huh? Why don't you have mine? Sir, please hurry up!"
"..."
As someone made the list, the crowd seemed to be thrown into some kind of catalyst, and it suddenly became noisy.
Although some people are successful, most of them are disappointed.
Some people stare at the list in front of them with red eyes, looking back and forth in an attempt to find the name they just didn't find, while some people are unwilling to do so with a somewhat clear look, after searching the list for the last time, I left Gongyuan in despair...
Those who dare to take the Bianjing Provincial Examination, in addition to some confident and confident talents, are mostly ordinary students whose ancestral home is in the capital. They do not have enough talent and cannot take the exam elsewhere. At that time, all we could experience was incomparable despair.
The joys and sorrows between people are not the same, and the same is true for Xu Changqing in the crowd at this time.
Even though the autumn weather was crisp and the cool breeze was blowing, Xu Changqing was sweating profusely as he looked at the last list in front of him.
There is no way, who told those government officials to put this most valuable list at the end!
Relying on his tall size and strong body, Xu Changqing stood firmly in front of everyone and looked at the top name on the list with concentration.
All I saw was - "In accordance with the destiny of heaven and the emperor's rule, on September 20, the 23rd year of Renzong's reign, he planned to test one hundred and fifty-six people including Sheng Changquan and his son Sheng Changquan from Bianjing."
Afterwards, the six characters "No. 1 Sheng Changquan" shone brightly! strew
"bingo!"
Xu Changqing's eyes glowed!
At this time, there was nothing in his mind, it was empty.
"No! I have to go back and report to the young master!"
After Xu Changqing looked up at the gold list in front of him again, he hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd, not caring about the second and third place behind him.
However, looking from a distance, Xu Changqing's back does not seem to be running to the tavern on Donghua Street, it seems...
Judging from the direction he is heading, it seems to be... Sheng Mansion? strew
"Jie Yuan is out! Out!" someone in the crowd shouted.
These people thought that although they failed this time, if they met Xie Yuan, they might still be able to catch Wen Quxing's literary spirit and win again next time.
"Who? Who is it? But my husband?"
There were too many people, and naturally some people couldn't squeeze in. At this time, a servant asked loudly.
"Is your young master's surname Sheng?" the person in front replied.
"..."
Those who had good brains immediately shut up, but some still said stupidly: "My husband's surname is Ma, how can he be the master of labor..."
"Shut up!"
Before he finished speaking, there were several voices of rebuke.
"What about the Yuan family's husband and the Shen family's Li Xiaolang? They..."
"...Could it be...that you didn't hit...Jie Yuan?"
Among the crowd, there was suddenly a voice that sounded like a cuckoo crying blood.
"Oops!"
Everyone was shocked! strew
"My belongings!!"
…
Tung Wah Street.
"Ding-deng-deng!"
"..."
As the gold list was announced, many people immediately shuttled through various taverns.
Except for some of them who were sent out, more of them were those who brought good news. strew
The so-called good news messengers are those "bounty hunters" who specialize in delivering news of success to the students who have won, with the intention of getting some silver rewards.
