After passing three exams, many scholars who were relatively weak fell ill and could only recuperate at home for a few days before recovering, but He Zhiyuan was like nothing, on the one hand, because his physical fitness was very good, and it was nothing to suffer so much these days, and he didn't suffer anything during this time; On the other hand, for him, these exams are just a neat writing out of the content of the articles that he has memorized with a brush, and he does not need to use his brain at all.

So this exam is not tiring for him at all, and he should give himself a holiday.

Despite this, the days of waiting for the release of the list are still very difficult. I feel like my heart is on fire, I don't have any taste for anything, and I can't sleep. Count the days with your fingers, the time when the white horse passes by, but it is like an old horse with a broken leg, slow and able to kill people in a hurry.

During the twenty days of waiting for the release of the list, He Zhiyuan did not plan to return to Juzhou, because it would take half a month to come back. The time in Juzhou is only five or six days, so it is better to wait here.

Zhao Nai's pocket was shy, and his home was relatively close, so he planned to go home immediately after the exam. After the persuasion of He Zhiyuan, Xu Feng and Wang Yun, he finally stayed.

At this time, the streets of Jinan are full of candidates waiting to release the list, if they go to the street, it is inevitable to meet acquaintances, if they ask how they did in the exam, it is difficult to answer. Even if you don't ask, you don't feel comfortable when you see the anxious faces. In order to avoid this embarrassment, several of them simply did not go out, just stayed in the inn and did not go anywhere.

Therefore, He Zhiyuan simply invited the three of them here, because the conditions here were much better than where the three of them lived. He Zhiyuan had already figured out how to spend the more than 20 days. The first is to teach them scientific knowledge and make them staunch supporters of science. The second is to have fun in his spare time, and as for the way to have fun, he has also thought of it, which is to teach them how to play poker.

He asked Yin Lifu to go to the paper store to buy pieces of cardboard and cut them one by one. Then draw a simple variety of playing cards on the front, although simple, but the meaning of each color card is accurately expressed. After that, He Zhiyuan taught them a variety of poker games.

In the first few days, they surrounded He Zhiyuan and listened to him talk about scientific knowledge, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry and other interesting knowledge. But in the end, science still can't beat entertainment, think about it, these scholars have studied hard for three years, once the exam is completed, how can they use their brains to learn this knowledge again. The period of waiting for the release of the list is the best time for self-indulgence, and after knowing the results of the exam, the middle will have to prepare for next year's spring season, and if you don't win, you will work hard, and you will come to the game again after three years.

Later, the four of them plus Yin Lifu were exactly five people, and He Zhiyuan simply taught them how to play the "royalist" poker that Shandong people loved to play in later generations. Since then, it has been out of control, and the five of them have completely entered the realm of selflessness, and they have been killed in the dark......

The battle in He Zhiyuan's room was stalemate, and it soon attracted several candidates from the surrounding rooms to come over to watch the battle, and this novel toy would naturally arouse the interest of these candidates watching the battle. After only an hour or two of watching the battle, these candidates learned the various rules of "royalism". Now that they have learned, they are not satisfied with watching from the wall, making suggestions, grinding their fists one after another, and eager to try. As long as someone withdraws, someone will pick up immediately, which adds new strength to the war, and the war is more intense, and this kind of rotation fighting, the durability is very good, except for eating and sleeping, the card table is not empty.

At the beginning, everyone was still talking about the release date, but later on, everyone became more and more courageous, and the battle became more and more intense. Early in the morning of August 29th, everyone gathered around the table to start a day of war, tomorrow will be released, everyone knows that this is the last day to play cards, so this day is the last madness, everyone also cherishes, so the war is more intense, everyone is more and more courageous, until the evening four watches, everyone has not dispersed the meaning. Until He Zhiyuan urged again and again: "Everyone disperse, let's go to see the list together after dawn." ”

Everyone was very reluctant to find a place to sleep, because everyone had been fighting for more than ten hours in a row, and the body was really tired, this sleep was four or five hours, until noon the next day was awakened by a gong sound.

Xu Feng heard the sound of the gong outside and asked in a daze, "What's wrong?" ”

Wang Yun turned over and muttered, "Catch the thief." After saying that, he fell asleep in a daze.

"No, this gong sounds festive." Xu Feng said half-asleep and half-awake: "The sound of the gong to catch the thief is urgent and chaotic. As the two of them spoke, the gongs grew closer.

At this time, Zhao Nai got up and said loudly, "What time is it?" Today is the day of the list. ”

Zhao Nai's voice, everyone suddenly sobered up, Zhao Nai's high sun outside one day, not without annoyance: "The plaything is lost, it's too wrong!" ”

While he was talking, he heard people neighing and horses, and several horses stopped at the door and shouted loudly: "Please come out of Master Wang, congratulations on high school!" ”

At this time, there were a total of five people sleeping in He Zhiyuan's room, some sleeping on the bed and some sleeping on the ground. When they were tidying up the room, they heard the shouting "Master Wang" outside, and they all looked at Wang Yun, and Wang Yun's face was also a touch of excitement. But then he said a little gloomily: "Don't look at me, there are several people surnamed Wang in this store." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a knock on the door, Yin Lifu opened the door, and the second child in the store hurriedly ran in, kowtowed to Wang Yun and said: "Congratulations to Master Wang High School, congratulations to Master Wang High School, the villain is here to ask for your lottery." ”

Hearing this, everyone congratulated Wang Yun one after another, and Wang Yun was so happy that his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he returned the salute to everyone again and again. Xu Feng said to Wang Yun: "What are you still doing here, hurry up and go out to make money." ”

Wang Yun touched his body, he was a little embarrassed, he has been living here these days, eating and living are He Zhiyuan's, and there is no scattered silver on his body at all. Although He Zhiyuan didn't like this person very much, he didn't care about the few taels of silver at this time, he took out some scattered silver from his body, gave a few copper coins to Wang Yun and said, "Go out quickly, don't let the people who report the good news wait for a long time." ”

Yes, everyone hugged Wang Yun to the front yard of the inn, and the little second fart walked in front, opened his throat and said: "Everyone let go, the new upstart is here!" "Actually, there weren't many people around.

When a person reported the good news saw Wang Yun coming, he quickly knelt down towards Wang Yun and said, "Congratulations to Master Wang." ”

For the first time in his life, he heard people call himself "master", the prince came back to his senses from the state of not possessing the soul, he looked around blankly, and his eyes were suddenly attracted by a big red plaque in the hall, only to see that it was written on it, "Good news Zhucheng lord Wang Zhenyun, the nineteenth Yayuan in the high school Shandong Township Examination, and the Beijing newspaper even appeared in Huangjia." ”

Wang Yun watched it several times and read it a few times, and his eyes were full of tears with excitement. Fortunately, the newspapers are not the first year to report good news, and it is not uncommon to see more of these new imperial examination gaffes...... In fact, Wang Yun's performance is already very restrained, and some older new masters have a stroke directly after being lifted, and they are very sad.

Xu Feng saw that Wang Yun was so excited that he wiped his tears, and hurriedly reminded behind him: "Don't patronize and be happy, hurry up and send happy money!" ”

After being reminded, Wang Yun remembered this, quickly wiped away his tears, and took out the broken silver from his body and distributed it to the newspapers who came to report the good news. The guys of the inn also began to ask Wang Yunji for money, and when everyone was hugging the noise, they heard a gong again, and a few horses came from far and near, and the innkeeper said excitedly: "Huh? It seems to be a brace, but I don't know where the old man hit again. So the men ran out to watch.

Zhao Nai and Xu Feng glanced at each other nervously, with a look of nervousness and anticipation on their faces. Finally, I heard someone outside shouting: "Hurry up and ask Master Xu to come out, congratulations on high school." ”

When Xu Feng heard this, he happily greeted him, Zhao Nai's eyes immediately showed full of sadness and despair, He Zhiyuan stepped forward and patted Zhao Nai's shoulder and comforted: "Brother Dongqiao, don't worry, your good news must be at the end." ”

He Zhiyuan once said that Zhao Nai's meeting will be in the current science and technology, and the good news at the end means that he will definitely solve the yuan. Zhao Nai smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Wen Yu, thank you for your comfort, there are a total of eighty-nine people in this department, how can there be such a good thing, we will be three people here?" ”

The two followed everyone to the door of the Anzhan while talking, and saw that the door was already full of people, and the guys and bosses of the inn came in with a newspaper, and a newspaper in front of him held a vertical plaque in his hand, which read, "Good news to the lord of Zhucheng Xu Zhenfeng, the first 12th Yayuan in the high school Shandong Township Examination, and the Beijing Newspaper even ascended the Yellow Armor."

At this time, Xu Feng was distributing happy money to the newspapers, and the guys in the inn were also vying to ask for happy money, and the scene was very lively and festive for a while. The owner of the inn only remembered that his inn had two goals at this time, such a big good news, such a good opportunity to improve the popularity of his inn, how could he miss it, so he was standing behind Jean to greet the guys, hurry up to prepare firecrackers, prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and write the propaganda slogan of "Quancheng Inn guests are two times in this week".

After a while, the guys lit firecrackers and began to crackle, and the slogans written by the two men were also posted on the doors on both sides of the inn.

As soon as the innkeeper finished his work, there was another gong sound outside the door, and everyone couldn't help but stand up, and the innkeeper said in surprise: "Oh my God, won't you come here again to report the good news?" ”

At this time, the newspaper outside the door shouted loudly: "Please come out quickly, Master Zhao, congratulations on high school!" ”

He Zhiyuan chuckled in his heart, because he knew that in the original history, Zhao Nai's high school Xie Yuan came to give him the good news, which proved that this was the last wave of good news.

Did you fall off the list?
