The next day, just after midnight.
To the northeast of the inner city of Beijing is the Tribute Courtyard of the Ministry of Rites, where every session of the imperial court is held.
On this day, under the watchful eyes of all people, and after a lapse of nine days, the gate of the Tribute Courtyard was opened again, and more than 1,000 candidates for the examination walked out of the Tribute Courtyard.
But it's the spring exam of the current department, and it finally ended on this day.
Because of their respective swings, the candidates are happy or worried, crying or laughing, jealous or showing off, and all kinds of situations in the world are performed here.
Among them, those candidates who took refuge in Zhao Junchen because they knew the exam in advance? Objective. 711 Seal Bao Xuan Yun Yun Cut Judgment Mu Kun Nai Sang Bad Furry Judgment ≈Shadow Shadow Cake Crab br/>
…………
said that Zhao Shancai, at this time, was also mixed in the crowd of movers, and walked towards the outside of the tribute courtyard.
With Zhao Shancai's academic talent, it is naturally just a small test to deal with the spring test of this subject. Although the self-confidence in his heart was not revealed, in fact, after answering the exam papers, Zhao Shancai was already convinced that he would definitely be among the best in the spring examination.
Therefore, Zhao Shancai was not worried about the results of the examination, but while walking outside, he thought secretly: "Now between the government and the opposition, it is an eventful autumn, but it has ushered in the spring of the trial again. ”
Zhao Shancai inherited the imperial mental inheritance of the former crown prince and master He Ming, although he was in the grass. But his heart is in the temple, but the news isolation in the past nine days has made Zhao Shancai always a little unaccustomed. Therefore, after the examination, the first thing he thought of was to inquire about the changes in the government and the opposition in the past few days.
However, just as Zhao Shancai was thinking about it, a person suddenly stumbled past him, and Zhao Shancai was caught off guard by the collision of his shoulder. Almost fell.
But the man didn't apologize, as if he hadn't noticed at all, and just continued to walk towards the outside of the Tribute Courtyard. The footsteps are staggering, and he looks like he is in a trance.
Seeing this person's back, Zhao Shancai was slightly stunned, and then called out loudly: "Brother Yan, please stay." ”
Originally. Zhao Shancai actually knew this person. This person's name is Yan Ru'an, although his family background is not good, but he is good at learning, and his knowledge and mind are not bad, Zhao Shancai has met him a few times, and after talking, he is quite speculative. Now seeing Yan Ru'an's trance-like appearance, it seems that something has happened. Zhao Shancai was concerned in his heart, and naturally wanted to ask.
However. Yan Ru'an still didn't notice Zhao Shancai's call, but stumbled and continued to walk before. It's like a lost soul.
Zhao Shancai frowned, hurried to catch up with Yan Ru'an, stretched out his hand to stop Yan Ru'an, but saw Yan Ru'an's face was pale and his eyes were blank, and his expression was full of misery and despair, he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly asked with concern: "Brother Yan, I saw that you were in a trance, but what happened?" ”
On the other side, Yan Ruan finally noticed Zhao Shancai, first looked at Zhao Shancai in a daze, and then laughed miserably: "It turned out to be Brother Zhao, with Brother Zhao's academic talent, this subject must be able to be among the best, right?" The younger brother is here to congratulate Brother Zhao first. ”
Although he was congratulating, there was a bit of jealousy in Yan Ru'an's eyes, that is, a kind of jealousy of a loser against a successful person!
Seeing Yan Ru'an's expression, Zhao Shancai's brows furrowed tighter, and asked: "Brother Yan's knowledge, I have always known that the nomination of the apricot list is inevitable, why is it so bleak now?" But what happened during the exam? ”
Yan Ru'an looked sneering and said, "Something happened, but Brother Zhao, why do you keep asking?" How? Could it be that you can still help me get back? I might as well tell you, I suddenly fell ill and fell into a coma on the sixth day of the exam, and the last subject of the question was handed in a blank paper, and the current subject exam is already hopeless, haha! For more than ten years, I have been studying hard day and night, obviously in this move, but God is unfair, and I am sick at this time! More than ten years of hard work and cold windows, now it is all flowing water! Ha ha! God is unfair! ”
While speaking, Yan Ru'an looked like crazy, looking up to the sky and laughing miserably, attracting the attention of the surrounding students.
Listening to Yan Ru'an's explanation and looking at Yan Ru'an's madness, Zhao Shancai sighed and silently let go of the hand holding Yan Ru'an's arm.
In Zhao Shancai's impression, Yan Ru'an is a standard reader, gentle and elegant, humble and polite, how could he ever have such a gaffe?
However, this is the imperial examination, success is overjoyed, defeat is nothing, between success and failure, ups and downs, often the most can change a person's heart.
The free and easy mentality of "starting all over again" is just a lighthearted statement, but not everyone has it.
What's more, this Yan Ru'an's family is poor, and even the travel expenses to take the exam in Beijing are borrowed, and the housing and food expenses in Beijing are also on credit.
For a while, Zhao Shancai didn't know how to persuade him.
Seeing that Zhao Shancai was silent, the ridicule between Yan Ru'an's expressions became more and more intense, and then he no longer paid attention to Zhao Shancai, and left with a miserable smile.
…………
Zhao Shancai looked at Yan Ru'an's departing back, sighed and shook his head, Zhao Mu, a scholar who had been waiting outside the Gong Courtyard for a long time, finally found Zhao Shancai in the crowd.
"Childe, I can be regarded as finding you, will I try to return to the future?"
After experiencing Yan Ru'an's incident just now, Zhao Shancai was not interested in saying anything, just nodded and said: "Fortunately, the topic is not difficult, and the scope of the question can be regarded as expected, so it can be regarded as a normal wave." ”
Although Zhao Shancai didn't show off anything, in Zhao Mu's opinion, with Zhao Shancai's academic talent, even if it was just a normal wave, it was enough to hold Huiyuan steadily, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, and congratulated again and again.
Zhao Shancai sighed, shook his head, and then instructed Zhao Mu: "Later, you can help me find out which inn Yan Ru'an lives in Beijing, and then bring some money to help him settle the arrears." I heard that Yan Ru'an's expenses in Beijing were all on credit. It's just that the innkeeper knows that he is good at learning, and it is very likely that he will be nominated for the apricot list, and he wants to form a good fate. That's why he hasn't chased it, but Yan Ru'an has an accident in the meeting now, and there is no hope for the apricot list, and the innkeeper may have to turn his face and deny people. ”
"Yan Gongzi's meeting was unexpected?"
After hearing Zhao Shancai's order, Zhao Mu was surprised.
Yan Ru'an's madness just now, Zhao Mu didn't see it with his own eyes, but just thought of Yan Ru'an's former gentleness and politeness. I have a good impression in my heart, and now I know that Yan Ru'an had an accident in the exam, but I can't help but feel pity.
Seeing Zhao Shancai's expression unhappy again. Zhao Mu hurriedly promised: "Childe, don't worry, I will go to inquire immediately after I go back, and help Yan Gongzi settle the arrears, Yan Gongzi is your friend." We can't let him be wronged too much. ”
Zhao Shancai shook his head. He smiled wryly, "Friend?" I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in the future, but after all, I just got acquainted, just to do my best, I hope he can see some of it. ”
In Zhao Shancai's opinion, Yan Ru'an is afraid that because of the failure of the test, he has changed his mind and has some cynical bias? ahref='/txt/16711/4849414/'>. Instead of saying that he was angry, he showed a look of jealousy. It can be seen that between the two, they can no longer be friends.
Hearing Zhao Shancai say this, Zhao Mu seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and was about to ask.
But Zhao Shancai had already asked in advance: "By the way, Zhao Mu, in the nine days that I participated in the examination, what happened in the capital?" ”
Thinking of the ups and downs in the past few days, the flaws in the preparations for the southern tour, and the refugees from all over the country went to Beijing to complain, Zhao Mu nodded again and again, just about to say something.
But before Zhao Mu could speak, Zhao Shancai suddenly raised his hand to stop him and looked behind Zhao Mu.
Zhao Mu turned his head to look, but saw a young man dressed in a long way, walking towards the two with a reluctant look.
When he came to Zhao Shancai, this person bowed his hand to Zhao Shancai and said: "Zhao Gongzi hasn't seen him for a long time. My family wants to see you again, and we have something to talk about. Zhao Gongzi, please! ”
said, without waiting for Zhao Shan to answer, the person who came had already stretched out his hand to lead the way, as if he was not afraid of Zhao Shancai's refusal.
Zhao Shancai pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
At the same time, Zhao Mu finally recognized the identity of the person who came, it was Xu Qingyan, the long-term attendant of Zhao Junchen's side!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the same time, on the other side, Yan Ru'an finally left the bustling crowd of scholars and walked forward in chaos.
As for where he was going, even Yan Ru'an himself didn't know.
The inn where he stayed in Beijing and Yan Ru'an's salute, but Yan Ru'an didn't dare to go back.
Because, as Zhao Shancai knew, most of Yan Ru'an's expenses for accommodation and food in Beijing were on credit, but the innkeeper knew Yan Ru'an's knowledge and thought that Yan Ru'an would definitely be nominated for the apricot list, so not only did he not pursue it, but he also took care of Yan Ru'an and flattered him.
But this qiē is based on the premise that Yan Ru'an can be nominated on the apricot list.
If the innkeeper knew that Yan Ru'an had fallen ill during the examination, and had handed in the blank papers, Xingbang would no longer be hopeless, what kind of changes would his face have, and what kind of humiliation he would usher in, Yan Ru'an would not dare to imagine at all!
I want to study hard for nearly 20 years, and now I am fighting against the water, but all my efforts have been exhausted because of a sudden illness, and Yan Ru'an thought of death for a while.
"Remember, further south, it's the moat......"
Thinking like this, Yan Ru'an didn't know how to go south.
However, after not taking a few steps, he suddenly heard another call.
"Yan Gongzi! Yan Gongzi! Ah! I've finally found you! I've been waiting for your good news, Young Master Yan! ”
Hearing this call, Yan Ru'an's face changed.
This is the voice of the shopkeeper of the inn where he lives!
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper of this inn was waiting for him outside the Tribute Courtyard!
Then, Yan Ru'an turned around stiffly and saw the kind face of the innkeeper. (To be continued......)
