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 the 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.

Therefore, the shopkeeper did not rush to answer Gong Jian's question, but straightened his chest, collected his stomach, which was already a little fat, and deliberately cleared his throat, and then began to answer Gong Jian's question slowly and methodically.

"Oh, you don't know this little brother, this is your first time in the provincial capital, so it's naturally a little strange about this situation. But in fact, every time I actually take the exam to make a red list, it's like this here. ”

After saying this, the shopkeeper also glanced at Gong Jian with his eyes, and found that Gong Jian was listening carefully to himself, and the shopkeeper was even more satisfied.

"Of course the people here are not, they are all those students who took the exam, and the vast majority of people here have nothing to do with this exam. ”

Maybe it was because he realized that when the time was not enough, it was impossible for those errand servants to post the red list and let everyone know, maybe it was because of the voice of the shopkeeper that finally woke up Gong Yu, who had been looking out, at this time, he heard the last words of the shopkeeper. So he asked.

"The shopkeeper, since these people have nothing to do with these people's exams, why are they all piled up here so early, waiting to post the red list?"

Gong Yu was also very strange in his heart, the two brothers had calculated the time, and the time when they arrived outside the examination room was much earlier than the time when the red list was posted.

I thought they arrived early, so they should be able to stand early, where they can see the red list at a glance, and wait for those errand officers to post the red list outfits, and they can see the results at a glance. But who knew that when they walked out of the inn, the two brothers had already realized the situation, and something might be wrong.

Things were indeed not as expected by the two of them, and from the moment they walked out of the inn, there were people on the street walking in the direction of the examination room. The two brothers walked over, and the pedestrians on the street formed a flow of people and continued to flock to the examination room.

And when the two finally came to the examination room, all they saw was the top of their heads. He didn't understand, why there were so many people gathered in the examination room today, you must know that even when the lifting exam began, the family members who sent the candidates to take the exam also came, but the people in the examination room that day were not more than half of what they are now.

And what surprised Gong Yu even more was that they already felt that there were enough people piled up in the square outside the examination room, but from the various streets, there was still a continuous flow of people into this crowded square.

If it weren't for the fact that his eldest brother immediately grabbed himself and used brute force to get out of the crowd, it is estimated that by now, no matter how much strength the two of them have in history, they will not be able to squeeze through those people to squeeze out the flow of people.

So when I heard the shop owner say it directly, most of these people who crowded into the square in front of the examination room were people who had nothing to do with the lifting exam. Of course, Gong Yu must be extremely surprised. Since these people have nothing to do with the exam, why did they come here so early in the morning and suffer this sin?

And the shopkeeper over there was even happier when he saw that the two brothers' attention was completely on him. He said that young people need an older person to guide them through some life experience.

Looking at the two young people in front of him, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, they look polite and polite, which can be regarded as a material that can be made. Then I would like to spend some time today to teach them and let them know about the unique customs of this provincial city.

"Hey, the two little brothers may not know. On the day of today's list, about half of the people in this square are the kind of people who report good news. They were all crowded at the front, waiting for the red list to be posted. They only glanced at one person and remembered the name of one person, and immediately rushed out of the crowd to give good tidings to that person, and the sooner they reported it, the more money they would receive. ”

After listening to the shopkeeper's words, the two brothers probably understood. It's no wonder that so many people are crowded here, after all, being able to inform the students of the news of the promotion as soon as possible is naturally very rich.

It's no wonder so many people are here. After all, even if such good news is reported by the second or third person, it is estimated that there is a reward to be taken, and it is no wonder that these people are waiting for the place where the red list is posted early.

Thinking of it for a while, if his eldest brother was also lifted, it was estimated that many people would run to the inn to report to his eldest brother, and Gong Yu felt that those people were probably running in vain. After all, they lived in the inn, and the two brothers had come out, and even if the man ran to the inn to report the good news, he would not be able to find the main owner.

Thinking of this, Gong Yu simply said his thoughts, "Then if the person who reported the news went to the address of the student in the middle of the school to report the news, but how could that student still stay there, just honestly waiting for others to report the good news to him." The students must have come over to look at the board, and since this is the case, then if no one can be found, who will the messenger find to get the reward?"
