Chapter 598: Unexpected Chen Bo
The official holding the list saw the scholars in front of him rushing to him, and he couldn't help but say something loudly with a pale face, and the scholars suddenly quieted down, and honestly stood in place and no longer crowded.
There was a very wide high wall on the side of the gate of the Gongyuan, which was used to post the list, and the official who held the list saw that everyone was no longer rushing forward, walked slowly to the wall, and pasted the red list on the wall as soon as he raised his hand.
As soon as the list was posted on the wall, everyone rushed forward again, and the officials who posted the list were shouting at this time to no avail, so they had to hurriedly dodge the place and hide in the tribute courtyard.
Yuqiong and I stood outside the crowd and looked towards the list, only to see that the big red list, which was only slightly smaller than the high wall, was densely covered with black letters, but it was not close to it, but it was not clear that it was not close. Yuqiong looked at the crowd rushing forward, turned her head to look at me and asked, "Brother Bi, why don't you go and take a look?" ”
I smiled, "The five princes have already told me the results, do I need to go forward and verify it again?" ”
Yuqiong listened to my words, and also smiled faintly and stopped talking.
In the blink of an eye, the wall was full of people, and looking at the frame in front of it was like a war, and if a chair was placed on top of everyone's head, no one would climb up.
Just when I was laughing with Yuqiong, some people had already squeezed out of the crowd, some people smiled with nine-point eyebrows on their faces, some people had endless frustration on their faces, and some people were not sad or happy on their faces.
Less than half an hour. The scholars who read the list before the list have dispersed seven or eight.
"Let's go, Yuqiong, let's go up and see the excitement too!" I said to Yuqiong with a smile, and then walked towards the list.
Yuqiong quietly followed behind me and walked over.
Passing through the sparse crowd, I walked to the front of the wall, looked up at the red list, and then I saw that the names of nearly a thousand people were densely written on the red list.
"Brother Bi, look, Uncle Wuwang is right, you did get the third place in the exam!" Just as I glanced at the list in front of me. Yuqiong beside her said softly.
I followed her gaze. I saw that the word 'Bi Ran' was indeed the third place after the two names at the top of the list, although I already knew my test results, but at this time I saw my name written on the red list. I still can't help but have a little excitement. But. When my eyes look at the first two names. I couldn't help but be stunned!
The name of the first place is indeed what the scholar said, with a 'gram' in the name, called Zhu Ke. It sounds like another name for chocolate, but how can the second name be Chen Bo? Could it be ...... Is it really Chen Bo? It's unlikely, or it's someone with the same name, there are really so many people in the world who have the same name and surname, but let me meet one?
Yuqiong on the side also saw that something was wrong with my face, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Bi, what's wrong with you?" ”
"That second place...... Second place went to ....... "I don't know what to say.
Just as I opened my mouth, a soft shout suddenly came from behind me: "Bi Daxia, you also come to see the list!" ”
I don't have to look back to know who is calling me, and there is only one person who can call me 'Bi Daxia' in this world, and that is the Chen Bo I know.
I turned my head to look at the sound, and at a glance I saw Chen Bo with a smile on his face, today Chen Bo was wearing a cyan brocade robe, the neckline and cuffs of the robe were appropriately embroidered with some cyan flowers, and there was a white paper folding fan in his hand, which looked like a bohemian boy, and the scholar Xiaoqiang was still following him closely.
"It turned out to be Brother Chen." I said with a smile.
"Bi Daxia is here to see the list?" Chen Bo walked up to me and asked.
"Exactly." I nodded.
"Bi Daxia, who is this ......?" Chen Bo saw Yuqiong standing beside me at a glance, looked up and down and asked.
"This is Miss Yuqiong." I didn't go into too much introduction, but I said it briefly.
"It turned out to be Miss Yuqiong, with a single name under the surname Chen." Chen Bo hurriedly said when he heard this.
"I've seen Chen Gongzi!" Yuqiong returned the salute with a smile.
Chen Bo didn't say anything more, straightened up and looked at the list on the wall.
Seeing this, I hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask Brother Chen who also came to see the list?" ”
"Exactly." Chen Bo replied softly.
My heart moved, and I couldn't help but ask again: "I don't know when Brother Chen also took the exam of the Tribute Academy?" ”
Chen Bo smiled lightly at me, "Bi Daxia also knows that my father is in the medicinal materials business, and my father has always thought that people who are engaged in business can't earn much silver taels without the blessing of the government, so since he was a child, he let him read poetry and books well, and this time when he entered Beijing, his father asked someone to go to the Gongyuan to hang his name, and when he knew it, it was already close to the exam, and in order not to disappoint his father, he had to go and give it a try." As he spoke, he looked at the list again.
That's what it looks like! I nodded slightly, raised my hand and pointed to the top of the list and said, "Dare to ask Brother Chen, do you know how many people have the same name as Brother Chen in this exam?" ”
"As far as I know, only in the next person!" Chen Bo replied.
"Then I will congratulate Brother Chen, the top position on the list is Brother Chen's name." I said with a smile.
Chen Bo listened to my words, looked at my fingers, and when he saw the word 'Chen Bo', he couldn't help but look happy, turned his head to Xiao Qiang beside him and said, "Xiao Qiang, you hurry up and go back and tell my father, just say that I can participate in the palace examination!" ”
"Young Master, what about you?" Xiao Qiang just wanted to turn around and run back, and immediately understood Chen Bo.
"I'm walking around with Bi Daxia and Miss Yuqiong, anyway, the palace test is in five days, if I go back now, I will definitely be locked up by my father to read books." Chen Bo's tone was full of three points of complaint.
"Oh." Xiao Qiang nodded as if he didn't understand, then turned around and ran away.
Listening to the dialogue of this master and servant, I can't wait to turn my head and hit the wall, saying that Chen Bo is now the second place in the exam, if you participate in those unnutritious popular science programs, you will definitely be the kind of contestant who will advance directly, and you don't even need to participate in the semi-finals, if you participate in that blind date show, you will definitely be a hot hot person, and you have to wake up when others are happy to dream, but Chen Bo in front of him seems to be a natural posture, and he doesn't feel his surprise at all, Just like the name of the second place should have belonged to him.
"Ahem...... what Brother Chen, you are the second place in the Gongyuan exam......!" I couldn't help but cough twice and spoke.
"What's wrong, Bi Daxia?" Chen Bo looked at me puzzled.
"I mean...... You are the second among 10,000 people, and you can be regarded as a general of thousands of troops on the battlefield, so you can easily let Xiaoqiang go back and tell your old man...... Belch...... Tell Ling Zun that you can go to the palace exam? Don't you think it's an understatement? I couldn't help but say again.
Chen Bo looked at me, smiled lightly and said: "Bi Daxia, this is just the exam before the palace examination, as long as you have obtained the qualification for the palace examination, what is the difference between the second place and the last one?" Isn't it also possible to go to the temple exam? ”
Listening to his words, I immediately felt ashamed, Chen Bo was right, there is no difference between the second place and the last one, they are all also qualified to participate in the palace examination, and when it comes to the palace examination, everyone is back on the starting line, and then it is really the time to determine the winner and loser.
