The time soon came to the next day, and the two brothers didn't need to be reminded by others, they woke up early, didn't talk much, washed up, had breakfast, and left the inn in a hurry.

And as they walked out of the inn, they found that there were people outside the inn walking in the direction of the examination room. The two of them followed the flow of people and walked in the direction of the examination room, and soon people gathered outside the examination room.

The crowd outside the examination room this time is several times more than the crowd when they took the lifting exam last time, not only the candidates, the families of the candidates, but also the small people in various prefectures, but everyone with status will send people to pay attention to the list of this lifting exam.

This also caused that although the hour was still early, there were already a full crowd outside the examination room, and the two Gong Jian brothers thought that the two of them had come early, but after arriving at the examination room, they found that they could only stand on the periphery of the crowd.

At this time, the door of the examination room is still tightly closed, and the place where the list should be posted is still empty, and it seems that the red list has not been posted yet. But people are gathering more and more, looking at this situation, Gong Jian pulled Gong Yu, who was still squeezing forward, and the two directly squeezed out a passage against the flow of people and walked to a shop next to it.

There is only one shopkeeper in this store now, and he is still looking down on his accounts, and the other junior ones have already watched the lively class crowded into the crowd, just waiting for the release of the exam. Seeing that a customer came to the door, the shopkeeper behind the counter hurriedly raised his head and was about to open his mouth to greet the two Gong Jian brothers.

Gong Jian raised his hand to salute the shopkeeper, and said softly: "Don't worry, the shopkeeper, our two brothers are also here to see the list." But the people outside were too anxious for us brothers to squeeze in. Alas, I can only rest in the shopkeeper's store first, and after the list comes out for a while, everyone will disperse, and then we will go over and take a look at the list. ”

When the shopkeeper heard that the two brothers were also coming to see the list, the enthusiasm that had just risen immediately dropped, but he still returned the salute politely, and said as generously as possible: "The two little brothers are not in a hurry to watch slowly, you see that the guys in my store have also run out to watch the excitement." Hey, at this time of year, there is a sea of people outside the examination room, and many people are crowded to the point where they lose their hats and shoes, and some are knocked down and stepped on. The two little brothers are really wise, take a look in the store, and wait for the crowd outside to disperse before going out to have a look. Anyway, this list, it can't run there. ”

Gong Yu has actually been trying to squeeze forward to the front of the list just now, although the list has not been posted yet, but as long as he is squeezed in front and waiting for the officials to post the red list, it is not the first time to get the news that his eldest brother has won the promotion.

But he couldn't resist his eldest brother, and the power to pull him out could only be squeezed out of the flow of people with his eldest brother. Now after hearing the conversation between the eldest brother and the shopkeeper, Gong Yu is still not very reconciled, he still twists his head and keeps looking outside.

Seeing Gong Yu's actions, the shopkeeper couldn't help but smile and asked, "Looking at this little brother looking so anxious, is there anyone in your family who has participated in this lifting exam?"

It's no wonder that the shopkeeper asks like this, you must know that there are not a few people who came over on this day to watch the excitement. Let's take the two juniors in his shop, originally this exam release has nothing to do with them, but these two young people just think it's more important to watch the excitement.

So early today, the juniors asked for leave with their shopkeeper, not just waiting for the red list to come out in the crowd outside. And like the two of them, people who are just watching the excitement are the vast majority outside.

Although the shopkeeper's words were asking Gong Yu, he was now paying attention to the situation outside, and he was not in the mood at all, or he didn't hear the shopkeeper's words at all.

Of course, Gong Jian also saw it, and he hurriedly spoke in this situation, but he couldn't make the shopkeeper feel that he couldn't get off the stage, after all, the two of them still had to stay in the shopkeeper's store for a long time.

In fact, Gong Jian opened his mouth but directly asked the doubts in his heart, after all, could he still open his mouth and say directly to the shopkeeper, saying that he was a student who took the exam, and was waiting for the red list outside to be posted to see the results.

In that case, there would be more explanations. Why did he, the person who should be most concerned about the list, run to such a store to hide quietly, instead of squeezing forward like others, he must squeeze to the front of the list and see the content of the list for the first time.

Besides, even if the red list outside has not been posted, the students who can participate in the lifting exam are themselves famous. Just said his identity directly, to the point that it made people feel like showing off their talents.

In fact, Gong Jian didn't think about it so much, he just instinctively felt that if he answered the shopkeeper's words directly according to the truth, there would be something wrong, as for where this inappropriateness was, he didn't think about it carefully, but asked the question in his heart.

"Shopkeeper, why are so many people outside coming to see the list. Even if it is a lifting exam, it is impossible to involve so many people. It was the first time for my two brothers to come to the provincial capital, and it was also the first time to see such a scene of Zhang Bang. I thought the two of us came early enough, but I didn't expect that there were so many people standing outside the examination room, and it was very laborious to squeeze forward. But I can't figure out why so many people come here to see the list. ”

The shopkeeper actually didn't have anything to do today, he was there to bow his head and settle the accounts, but he just wanted to find something for himself, after all, it was a little boring to look at such a big store stupidly.

Now that the young brothers had entered the shop, the shopkeeper was a little happy in his heart, and it must be better than a person who could say two words compared to a person who was bored watching the shop.

So although Gong Jian's words did not answer his own question, and the little brother who asked by himself was obviously observant of the situation outside, and he didn't hear his own words at all. But the shopkeeper is still very happy, at least this older brother is still talking to himself, and besides, the content of this person's inquiry about himself is even more to the shopkeeper's heart. He doesn't know the situation very well, so he can take it out as a talking point and show it off.
