Chapter 71

The location of the shopkeeper is really good, and the gate is facing the gate of the examination room. After each exam, on the day of the release of the list, the lively scenes outside are staged again and again, and the shopkeeper is not too interested.

That is, the guys in the store are still very interested, and they rush outside every time to see the excitement to get first-hand information. Like the shopkeeper now, I always feel that I still sit in the store and watch those people outside cry and make trouble, in short, these have nothing to do with me.

Since the shopkeeper regarded the two Gong Jian brothers as the kind of people who just watched the excitement, he naturally persuaded the two of them not to squeeze out. After all, there are a lot of people who are injured outside, people who lose things, people who are injured by mistake, and people who are hit every year. Since he looked down on the two brothers very much, he naturally didn't want the two of them to go outside to suffer.

But what the shopkeeper didn't expect was that he had just persuaded two sentences here, but Gong Yu at the door didn't hear his words of persuasion at all, but looked out more anxiously, and kept asking: "Shopkeeper, when did you say this red list was posted? It's almost now, why hasn't it been posted yet?"

The shopkeeper was a little crying and laughing when he heard Gong Yu's words, he had just said so many words, and he had spent so many words, how could it have no effect on this young brother.

Seeing that Gong Yu was still so anxiously waiting for the red list to be posted outside, the shopkeeper couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. Who wants to say something with good intentions, but be completely ignored by others like air? "I said you little brother, why are you so anxious? Then the red list will naturally be posted by the officials at that time, why are you so anxious to see the red list?"

The shopkeeper was a little unhappy in his heart, but when he thought of his second child, even though he had seen the situation of the list several times, he still asked for leave early to go out to see the excitement every day, and he also understood that this young brother was so anxious. So he still suppressed his emotions and didn't show it, but he inevitably asked a rhetorical question.

Originally, he thought that his question would be ignored by Gong Yu, but he didn't expect Gong Yu to hear his words, he couldn't help but turn his head, and looked at the shopkeeper with some doubts, "Of course I'm anxious to see the red list, my eldest brother is taking the exam this year." ”

Gong Yu's words were like a thunderbolt, which suddenly rang in the ears of the shopkeeper, and he was stunned for a moment. He had no way to transform the two brothers who he thought in his heart were just watching the excitement into a student who participated in this lifting exam, or a student's family.

For a long time, the shopkeeper didn't spit out a single sound. His eyes kept purring from Gong Fitness to Gong Yu, and then from Gong Yu back to Gong Fitness, looking up and down at the two brothers in front of him.

After weighing it again and again in the shopkeeper's heart, he always felt that no matter what the two brothers thought, it was impossible for them to participate in the lifting exam. Don't talk about the little one, he also said just now, he came to see his eldest brother's results, so he must not have participated in the lifting exam, so he can let it go.

But this one is a little older, and this one is actually not much older, this is the age difference between the two brothers is only one or two years old. Although Gong Jian has had some emotion from the moment he came in, his demeanor has made the shopkeeper feel a little calm, and he is even more calm that the shopkeeper thinks that this is the best candidate for a son-in-law.

But no matter how you look at it, the shopkeeper doesn't think that the young man in front of him can take the exam. You must know that to participate in the lifting exam, you must at least have a talent and fame, but the person in front of you is too young.

If you want to say that this young man has the qualifications of a child, the shopkeeper should praise him, he is a good reader. How can it be that at such a young age, he has the identity of a showman to participate in the lifting exam.

After thinking about it again and again, the shopkeeper felt that there was still something wrong with his own thoughts. He asked Gong Yu with some doubts: "Oh, then you two are here to see the list for your eldest brother?" Your eldest brother is really calm, just let the two of you look at the results. ”

Yes, after thinking about it for a long time, the shopkeeper still couldn't believe that Gong Jian was taking the lifting exam, so after thinking about it in his heart, he only thought of one possibility. That is, these two people are probably the brothers of the person who took the exam. So both of them should have come to see their so-called big brother's results.

Before the shopkeeper could confirm his thoughts in his heart, he heard it, and Gong Yu had already said in surprise: "My eldest brother is here." ”

After speaking, Gong Yu also looked at the shopkeeper with a surprised gaze, not knowing why he could, and he made up a big brother of theirs. Obviously, both of them are in his store, why does this shopkeeper think that there should be a big brother above the two of them.

It's no wonder that Gong Yuhui and the shopkeeper had a misunderstanding. After all, Gong Yu has always felt that his eldest brother is the most powerful, so he is not surprised that he came to take the lifting exam at his age.

In fact, Gong Yu felt that if it weren't for the fact that the eldest brother had never moved the idea of participating in the imperial examination before, otherwise the eldest brother estimated that he would have come to the provincial capital to take the examination a few years ago. Instead of thinking about it now, it was only this year that I decided to participate in the imperial examination because I wanted to marry Miss Tian and increase my strength.

Therefore, although Gong Yu knew that his eldest brother was the youngest among these students who participated in the lifting exam, he never really regarded this matter as important.

In his heart, if the eldest brother really wanted to embark on a career before, then he would definitely be able to achieve fame when he was younger than now, maybe the eldest brother should have been admitted to the Jinshi by now. But fortunately, this year is not too late, it is the year of the big exam, and next year the eldest brother will be able to enter Beijing to take the Jinshi exam.

Because of this kind of thinking, he didn't realize how shocking it looked to outsiders that his eldest brother could take several exams at his age. Naturally, he couldn't understand why the shopkeeper would deliberately make up another brother. It's because the shopkeeper really sees that Gong Jian is too young, and he doesn't think that he is here to take the lifting exam.

But now, regardless of Gong Yu's expression or his language, let the shopkeeper know that his assumption just now was very wrong.
