Chapter 217
After hearing the man's question, Wang Xiucai's face was blue and red, and he didn't know how to answer. After a while, he said, "I don't know if this Gong Jian you are talking about is the one I know. But if he is a young scholar who is less than twenty years old, then I think it is very likely that the one you are talking about is the youngest man I have met in the provincial capital this time. ”
This time, it was the man's turn to be surprised. He never thought that the person Wang Xiucai knew would actually have such an identity. After a moment of hesitation, he immediately remembered that he had also heard others report on the situation of the two of them.
At that time, those people did say that the two brothers were like scholars. The elder brother is not yet twenty years old, and it is rare for two scholars like this young to run into their small county. So until now, there is still a certain impression in this person's heart.
Now that the age and appearance are already matched, is this person really what Wang Xiucai said, the youngest man he has ever seen. But is there really such a young man? Thinking of this, this man couldn't help but ask out loud in confusion.
"Wang Xiucai, aren't you kidding me? When did we have such a young man here, a man who is less than twenty years old, you haven't woken up yet, right?"
Hearing this person's rhetorical question, that Wang Xiucai showed a little ashamed and a little crying and laughing on his face, and then said: "Alas, I didn't tell you about going to the provincial capital to take the lifting exam this time." After you listen to me, you will know that this time I went to the provincial capital, it can be said that I saw real people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky. ”
Saying that, this Wang Xiucai took them to take the provincial city lifting exam, and then after seeing Gong Jian come to take the exam at such a young age, all the students' performances and words could be said.
Wang Xiucai, who was a little emotional, continued: "Hey, but who knows, after the red list is posted, people are on the list, but people like us are all named Sun Shan." At that time, I don't know how many people felt a hot pain on their faces. ”
Wang Xiucai didn't say anything about sarcastic Gong Jian before, nor did he really look down on others from the bottom of his heart. He was just a little surprised by Gong Jian's age, but whether people came to participate in the lifting exam or not was something that they could say about these talkative talents, after all, they had also achieved the fame of the show, so they were qualified to participate in the lifting exam.
In fact, among these people like them, there are also those who have been selected for the show at a young age, and they have also come to take the lifting exam, but they have not passed it, and they have been taking the exam until now. Of course, there are also those who are young and win the show, and the teacher stops him from taking the lifting exam, feeling that he needs to precipitate and needs a few more years of tempering, so when he is older, he will come to take the lifting exam again.
All kinds of situations exist, and the only thing that can be said is that this year's Gong Jian must be the youngest, and everyone else is much older than him. Like himself, Wang Xiucai came to take the lifting exam at the age of 25 this year, and he is already very young and promising.
But no matter how others laughed at Gong Jian in their hearts, Wang Xiucai really didn't say anything bad about Gong Jian. Anyway, when you go to the examination room for the exam, everyone looks at the exam papers that you have handed in. The examiners will not be able to see what you look like because of your age, anyway, after the name is sealed on the exam paper, the examiners will only look at the content on the exam paper.
Therefore, Wang Xiucai has always felt that there is no need to ridicule Gong Jian like others, and young people should be encouraged to have ambition. After the red list of results was posted, those who had ridiculed and made fun of Gong Jian didn't feel a pain in their faces? Wang Xiucai found that these people didn't seem to realize this at all, but instead changed their faces and said with a smile that they were going to congratulate this young man.
Seeing the faces of these people, Wang Xiucai thought that he couldn't do this. Seeing a rising star so intuitively, surpassing himself, Wang Xiucai also has some complicated emotions in his heart. So when another Xiucai proposed to leave the provincial capital early and return to the box county, this Wang Xiucai immediately agreed.
If you want to talk about Gong Jian, in fact, not only this Wang Xiucai, but even another Xiucai, has a good impression of Gong Jian. After all, after the exam, during a few evening parties, Gong Jian and the two of them also had many contacts.
At that time, the two of them had already realized that the young man in front of them did not react differently. Gong Fitness does not have the impetuousness of young people, but is calm as if it has surpassed his age, and his own knowledge is very solid.
But whenever they mention something, Gong Jian can answer it fluently. Even some remote knowledge, they are not clear, or only half-understood, Gong Jian can say it very clearly and explain it to them.
In fact, after a few literary meetings, Wang Xiucai and that Xiucai already had a faint premonition in their hearts that the young man in front of him was definitely not like those people who ridiculed and discussed, but just came to join in the fun. People are really talented and learned, and their character is also very good, steady and down-to-earth, not at all like ordinary young people.
At that time, the two of them had also privately guessed what the chances of this Gong Jian becoming the youngest lifter were. Although both of them felt that the possibility of Gong Jian's lifting was very high, but when the result came, it was inevitable that both of them would be a little sour in their hearts and a little incompetent.
Now that I think about it, after the two of them watched the list, they just walked away in a gray way, and it was indeed a bit rude to Gong Jian without even saying hello. After all, the three of them have been in contact several times at the cultural meeting, and they can be regarded as having some friendship, so due to the short time, they can't be called friends, but they are also more familiar than ordinary people.
Thinking of the behavior of leaving directly without saying hello to him like he used to be, Wang Xiucai certainly feels a little ashamed now. If he met Gong Jian again in the county, he decided to make up for it, admit his mistakes, and have a good exchange with Gong Jian, he felt that this young man was still very worthy of his friendship.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiucai immediately said: "You just said where that Gong Jian lives? If I have the opportunity, I must come to visit." It's just that I don't know if he has anything to do in the county, and if I visit him in the next two days, I don't know if it will cause him trouble. ”
