Chapter 34 The competition failed, and the scholar left Chengfu
Just as Han Limo was thinking about why the result hadn't come out yet, two people walked in. One also had a roster announcement in his hand.
"It's coming, it's coming, it's out!" A young man in the crowd shouted excitedly.
I saw two young men dressed as scholars come to them, and one of them was holding a list of selected people in his hand.
At this time, one of the young men, dressed as a scholar, said loudly: "Everyone is quiet! The results of the preliminary examination are out, and I will post it in a moment! In addition, those on the list should gather in front of the Chengfu compound within a quarter of an hour, and our Wang Tongwang auditor will lead you into the Chengfu compound to participate in the final Danqing assessment! ”
"Did you hear it all?"
"Hear me clearly!"
The two of them posted the list notice on the wall and turned to leave.
As soon as the two left, a group of people couldn't wait to surround them.
"I'm in, I'm in!" The young man who had rushed to watch the results first cheered loudly.
Behind him, a plain-clothed man immediately congratulated: "Congratulations." That trouble, this brother can help me take a look, my name is Xu Benchu! ”
"Haole, Xu Benchu, let me see, Xu Benchu, yes, yes, your name is on the list!"
The people who can't see it in the back are also trying to rub in front, "Let one go, let one go, I haven't seen it yet!" ”
"Let's take a look at the front too!"
“……”
When the people were almost gone, Han Limo stepped forward and carefully watched the results of each column.
When he saw the end, the heart of the Confucian scholar chuckled.
His name was not on the list.
The scholar in the Confucian shirt froze in place, his face full of loss. I didn't make the initial audition, and all my fantasies came to naught.
Looking at the list of selected candidates posted on the wall, the Confucian scholar sighed deeply, this is not even God will help me.
"Hey, brother, look, I'm in, haha, I'm in!"
It was the eldest brother who was talking to himself just now, and he pulled Han Limo's clothes and pointed to his name very excitedly.
The Confucian scholar felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and he didn't mean to pay attention to him, looked at the name on the notice twice, and said perfunctorily, "Congratulations!" ”
The young man in the Confucian shirt turned around in disappointment, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Maybe I'm not good enough!
"Hey, hey, Brother Zhao, look, I'll just say, our group, we must be the two of us coming out!" He Tong said happily.
Zhao Wenxing laughed heartily, "That's nature!" ”
The two looked at each other and laughed openly.
Isn't that the one sleeping in the exam room? I obviously saw that he painted a pig and a bird, why did he get selected?
The young man in the Confucian shirt frowned and looked back at the list posted on the wall.
Sure enough, it's greasy.
The conference stipulates that all those who participate in the preliminary examination, regardless of whether they are selected for the final assessment or not, can be qualified to enter the Chengfu compound.
Han Limo declined the examiner and left Chengfu.
He was suddenly a little disheartened.
Xiao Wang originally thought that he should be able to go in at this time, but he saw Han Limo walking out with his head down.
Little Peach ran up and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" Not happy? ”
Han Limo forced a smile, rubbed the little peach's head with one hand, and said softly: "Brother is fine, but he was defeated, let's go home!" ”
Little Peach looked at his face for a while, then took his hand and said, "Good! ”
Xiao Wang came over and patted him on the shoulder, which was considered comforting.
……
Chengfu compound.
Everyone is looking forward to who these 20 selected artists will be, especially the owners of the painting academy below, all of whom are looking forward to it. Grabbing the source of life is something that often happens between the art academies, but all the talents with Danqing qualifications, regardless of the age, will be invited by the major art academies at any cost, the qualified can be a painter, the talented and young can be a painting child, and when they grow up, they are a fragrant bait, but in any case, the purpose of the art academy is of course only for fame and fortune.
In addition to the painting academies, there are also the heads of the families here, these families who love literati are not much worse than those painting academies, most of them are as their own doormen, acting as elegance.
A woman in white with excellent manners and elegant temperament on the table was also in the same mood as everyone else, but what she looked up and looked forward to was the appearance of a person.
A scholar who misses her day and night, and makes her not think about tea and dinner.
A year ago, she heard that he had left Gucheng, and she was depressed and depressed all day long, and before she had time to say something in her heart, the person disappeared from her world.
Half a year ago, when she saw the inscription left on the lantern riddle on his Chinese New Year's Eve, her originally calm heart instantly stirred up a thousand waves, and tears unconsciously gushed out, but even if she searched all over Longan Street, she still couldn't see him at all.
He didn't leave, and the woman in Tsing Yi concluded that he hadn't left Gucheng, but she didn't know where he was, so there was today's Danqing Conference, the purpose of which was to lure him out.
His Danqing can be described as unique, he not only likes Danqing, he also needs a chance to prove himself, if he wants to gain a foothold in this Gucheng, he will definitely not let go of such an opportunity, so she borrowed the hand of her master Hongyan, Danqing Conference, there is half of her selfishness that others don't know, just to see the scholar from Nancheng.
There was news from the inner hall that the results of the preliminary examination had come out, and the selected personnel would arrive in a few moments. The woman in Tsing Yi couldn't sit still anymore, she looked forward to it, her right hand kept tugging at the hem of her skirt, and her eyes were fixed on the door of the compound.
He must be here, he knows he will come!
He must have won, and he will be able to see him again in a moment!
"Lan'er, what's wrong with you? Who are you looking at? Bai Xiaotian saw that his daughter looked anxious, and he also looked at the place where his daughter was looking, except for a few housekeepers and maids who came in and out, there was no one else.
She had listened to her father's thoughts half a year ago, and he seemed to remember what happened a year ago, so she couldn't tell the truth.
She turned around and smiled at her father, "Dad, it's nothing, I, I'll see if they've arrived!"
She added: "I'll see who has been selected, and if there are good ones, we can also keep a few customers like other people's homes!" ”
The middle-aged man laughed, "Lan'er, you better sit down!" ”
"Your master is the Danqing Taidou sitting on it! Where do we need any doormen, if my father wants a pair of danqing, I will ask your master if he wants! ”
Bai Lan'er sat back obediently and said, "Daddy said the same, our family doesn't seem to need any Danqing guests!" ”
But she thought about it, what if Han Limo came? So he hurriedly changed his words: "But I think that if there is a suitable one, it is okay to accept one or two doormen!" Dad, did you say yes or no? ”
"Okay, it's all up to you, as long as Lan'er likes it, Dad will accept it for you as a guest!" Bai Xiaotian naturally didn't know his daughter's careful thoughts, so he agreed dotingly.
Bai Lan'er was overjoyed, picked up a grape, and handed it to her father, "Thank you, Daddy, eat grapes!" ”
Bai Xiaotian took the grapes from his daughter's hand and ate them into his mouth, "It's delicious, it's delicious!" ”
Bai Lan'er smiled on the surface, and said secretly in her heart, "Daddy, don't regret it when the time comes!" ”
Then her eyes unconsciously looked at the door of the compound.
This warm scene was fully watched by Hongyan on the stage, and he was stunned, thinking that his daughter was still alive, and that should be the same picture.
The final assessment was about to begin, and the envious blue-robed man retracted his gaze, not daring to look at the Bai father and daughter anymore, trying to regain his mood, trying to keep himself from thinking of the past.
A hand was placed on his shoulder.
It was Cheng Wenjun's hand.
Cheng Wenjun said: "Xiao Chu, stay for a light meal after the conference, the little girl said that her godfather hasn't come for a while, what do you think?" ”
Hongyan nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll go see her tonight!" ”
Cheng Wenjun glanced at the Bai father and daughter, and said, "The little girl will be very happy!" ”
……
At this time, Wang Tong, the final examiner of the preliminary examination, slowly walked to the Chengfu compound with a group of people.
The people in the compound all turned their eyes to the door.
I only saw Wang Tong slowly walked into the compound with the twenty people who were selected for the preliminary examination, stepped on the red carpet all the way, and finally walked on the test platform under the expectant gaze of everyone.
Then twenty-one people, including Wang Tong, bowed their hands to the two middle-aged men on the stage who were not angry and arrogant, and the middle-aged men waved their hands to signal that they did not need to be polite.
Wang Tong and the others bowed to the many judges on the right seat and the famous Danqing seniors in Gucheng.
In the end, Wang Tong himself bowed to the two people on the stage and said: "I've seen Master Cheng, Master Hongyan!" ”
Cheng Wenjun waved his hand and said, "No courtesy!" ”
Wang Tong took out the roster and said, "Master Cheng, the preliminary examination has ended, this is the list of twenty people who have been selected!" ”
Cheng Wenjun waved his hand, and a guard beside him walked down and presented the roster.
Cheng Wenjun said: "Brother Wang Xian, you go down to rest first!" Others stay! ”
Wang Tong bowed his hand, took two steps back, turned down, and sat down on the seat on the left.
In order to be fair and avoid the phenomenon of mixing, Cheng Wenjun said to the guard: "Ah Lan, read out the roster!" ”
Ah Lan bowed slightly, "Yes, my lord!" ”
Ah Lan walked to the front and said to the twenty people on the test table: "If you read the name, please go to the right!" ”
"He Tong."
"Zhao Wenxing."
"Zhang Zhiru."
……
After the announcement, Ah Lan turned around and returned to Cheng Wenjun's side and said, "My lord, it's over!" Everybody is there. ”
Cheng Wenjun said: "Stand down!" ”
Ah Lan stepped aside.
At this time, the blue-robed man Hongyan beckoned to Lu You, the big apprentice beside him, as if he had something to say. The green-robed man said a few words to him, and Lu You nodded and got off the stage.
After the list of candidates was announced, a woman in Tsing Yi ran out of the venue.
At the gate of Chengfu, except for a few soldiers guarding and the occasional passerby, the official road was empty.
The woman in Tsing Yi suddenly brought rain with pear blossoms.
