Although in the final result, neither of them was able to win. However, this Wang Xiucai is also the one who decided to take a break for a while, and his mentality is actually good. He is not like another talented old man, who locked himself in the study as soon as he came back and studied hard.

On the contrary, Wang Xiucai felt that his studies were not in a hurry. After all, the lifting exam has just passed, and the next exam will be two years away. This trip to the provincial capital was also an eye-opener, and after he came back, of course, many relatives and friends asked him what the experience of going to the provincial capital was like.

After dealing with these curious friends, this Wang Xiucai began to visit some old friends with good relations in this county. And the old acquaintance of the merchant was the first stop of his visit.

When the subordinates reported the situation of the two Gong Jian brothers to this person, because this person and Wang Xiucai were also old acquaintances, at that time, this person did not avoid it, and directly asked the subordinates to report it. When he knew that the name of one of the two brothers who had just arrived at this inn was Gong Jian, Wang Xiucai couldn't help but be surprised next to him: "How could it be him?"

This exclamation came out, and the three people present at that time were stunned. But soon the man sent his subordinates out, and after sitting down in the chair, he asked Wang Xiucai without hurrying: "What? Master Xiucai has heard of this young man named Gong Jian?"

At this time, Wang Xiucai also knew that he had lost his temper just now. But who let them go to the provincial capital this time, the biggest stimulus came from this young man named Gong Jian.

In addition, why did that Xiucai come back and study behind closed doors, it was also because he felt that he was older than others, but he was surpassed by young people, and he always felt that he was slacking, so he fell into Sun Shan, so he locked himself in the study as soon as he came back.

And whether this Wang Xiucai was really not stimulated, only he knew in his heart. Why he hasn't been able to read all this time is just because he has a feeling in his heart. He had always felt that he and the other Xiucai were among the best figures in the county, and they could be regarded as young talents.

Neither of them is very old, and his own is even younger. That Xiucai will soon be thirty this year, and he is only twenty-five years old, so they can be regarded as young and promising.

In this county, whoever sees the two of them, don't call them a talented man. The attitude is as respectful as it is, so these two people have always felt that they are very remarkable over the years. They even have a feeling that they are Wenqu stars, and they always feel that if they go to participate in the imperial examination, they will definitely rise step by step.

But this time I went to take the lifting exam in the provincial city, but the two of them completely recognized their positions. It turns out that I have always been sitting in a well and watching the sky, not to mention how amazing the knowledge of those candidates from other places is, let's just say that there are many people who are younger than them.

But among them, the most surprising is Gong Jian. At the beginning, when I saw such a young talent coming to take the lifting exam, everyone actually looked at Gong Jian's eyes at that time, as if they were watching his jokes.

Many people are saying sour things: such a young offspring, it is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. Why don't you know how to learn more knowledge at home, read a few more books and then take the lifting exam, so that you can have a greater grasp. I came here to take the exam at such a young age, didn't I think I would be able to win, I guess this kid is also experiencing the atmosphere of the exam.

That's how almost everyone sees Gong Jian. Of course, the two talents from the county town also thought so. But in the end, the result was an eye-popping surprise. This young talent who is less than twenty years old has suddenly become a lifting master. And these idiots who have been in their families for many years, and have read many more books, have all failed to make the list.

This is really embarrassing, but after the red list was posted, soon, the government copied the students' exam papers and posted them. After seeing Gong Jian's exam papers, the rest of them still had any thoughts in their hearts, and after reading the exam papers, they really died down. People do have real talent and real learning.

That's why the talent in the county town was stimulated like this. As soon as he came back, he continued his studies. And Wang Xiucai was obviously stimulated to another direction.

He also understands now that it is not that he is older and has more time to study, so he can grasp the middle move more, on the contrary, it does have to be different from person to person. So he didn't rush to bury his head in the pile of books again, but wanted to take advantage of this time to adjust, to understand himself more clearly, and to understand his shortcomings.

So 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. ”
