Chapter 72
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. Thinking of this, the fierce shopkeeper turned around, stared at Gong Jian carefully with hot eyes, and kept looking up and down.
It's the first time he's seen a talent who is so young to take the lifting exam. But then, he denied his idea, after all, because of his family, he really didn't pay much attention to these students who came to take the exam. Maybe there have been students as young as Gong Jian, or even younger than him, who came to take the lifting exam, but he didn't see it.
But the shopkeeper is still staring at Gong Jian very eagerly, after all, such a young person, it is very rare for a student to take the lifting exam, which he is very sure of. Recently, he thought that the red list would be posted in a while, and he didn't know if such a young talent would be able to win the promotion.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper's heart was on fire. Although he wasn't sure if there had been a show like Gong Jian who was as young or younger than him to take the lifting exam, he was sure that there had never been a person as young as him.
If the young man in front of him proved to be on the list for a while, such a scenario, the shopkeeper felt that he had no way to calm down. Looking at the young man in front of him, he has never changed his calmness and ease from just now to now, and the shopkeeper is a little anxious for Gong Jian while appreciating it.
If this were to be his own, he would not have this indifference, and he would be able to stay here and laugh at others talking about the list. He must run desperately to the front of the list, and he must see the list for the first time.
At this time, the shopkeeper was about to pull off his goatee. Why didn't he have a girl with his mother-in-law, but if he had a daughter, even if there was some age gap, he would definitely stalk the young man in front of him and stay as his son-in-law.
Hey, why didn't you know how to do it when you were young? The shopkeeper didn't care about the pain in his jaw, and stared at Gong Jian without blinking, just wanting to keep the person in front of him firmly in his mind, and he would have something to show off in the future.
At this time, the shopkeeper is not the same as just now, and he is high up to educate others. He walked a few steps to the door of the store and stood beside Gong Yu, and the two of them also looked out on tiptoe.
And they are still talking, exchanging their words with each other, "Why hasn't the list been posted yet, why hasn't it been posted yet?" These two people were talking to themselves, and they didn't listen to what the people next to them were saying, they were all anxiously waiting for the list to be posted soon.
Gong Jian looked at it with some amusement, staying at the door of the store and the shopkeeper whose expression was completely synchronized with his second brother. He didn't understand a little, just now he was still holding a pair of wisdom beads, and he was completely drunk and I looked like a shopkeeper, how could this character change all of a sudden in a blink of an eye.
The shopkeeper seems to be possessed by his second brother, and now look at the two people at the door, with exactly the same expression and the same action. If people who don't know the truth see it, they think that the two people at the door are a family.
To say that Gong Jian is not in a hurry in his heart, and wants to know if there is his name on this list, it is definitely impossible. He was also a little nervous this morning. This must be an important step in his plan, and only by taking this step will he be able to climb higher steps and finally achieve his goal.
Of course, now that I am not selected, there is actually another matter, that is, the little brother Zhao Rong who my second brother knows. If you can successfully win the lift, then this matter will be much simpler.
After all, doing it yourself and entrusting someone to do things are completely two different concepts. At the very least, if you do it yourself, no matter how difficult it is, you can grasp the progress of things as soon as possible, and you can find a solution by all means.
And if you entrust someone, first of all, you don't know where things have developed, let alone what kind of difficulties things have encountered, even if you want to help, you can't help the feeling of aggrievedness, which Gong Jian definitely doesn't want to experience.
So more than ever, Gong Jian is looking forward to the news that he can pass the exam. Now he is admitted not only for himself, but also for his second brother.
But no matter what, this red list can be posted today, and the results can be known to themselves and everyone today. Then there is no need to put yourself in that stressful and dangerous situation. This is also why, as soon as Gong Jian saw that the density of the crowd was too large, he immediately took his second brother and hid in this store.
It's just that Gong Jian really didn't expect that there would be such a strange shopkeeper in a store he chose at random. Obviously, I was still persuading them just now, don't be too anxious, wait slowly and the results will always come out on the list. But in the blink of an eye, he had forgotten all the words he had just said, and hurriedly followed his second brother and looked vigorously at the door.
And now it's even more exaggerated, the shopkeeper actually greeted his second brother, ran to the store and moved two chairs to the door of the store, and the two stepped on a chair and stood on a high place and looked forward.
