Chapter 168: The Case
The entrance of the yamen in Qingdu County was already full of people at this time, even those candidates who had not finished the exam papers in the examination room, and even only wrote their names and seat numbers, also came with a trace of luck.
Zhou Zhi and the others were still talking and laughing while standing on the periphery, and Yue Shuzhen didn't know when he appeared beside everyone. Although Che Lang and the others really didn't like Yue Shuzhen in their hearts, they were hypocritical and polite on the surface, "Brother Shuzhen gave up his reputation as a child and also participated in the county exam, I think this time I will definitely be the first to be the first in the case!" ”
"Huh! Several brothers laughed, Shu Zhen took the county exam just to have a few more exam experiences, as for the head of the case, Shu Zhen never thought about it. Yue Shuzhen said.
Although he talked and laughed and said this with disdain, anyone could see that Yue Shuzhen's usual expression at this time was very different, and he was even a little smiling, his face was pale and yellow, and he was obviously extremely nervous.
How could Fan Jin let go of such a good opportunity, he arched his hand and said, "Brother Shuzhen, what are you talking about?" The old man has already calculated, the head of this county trial is none other than Brother Shuzhen, just wait and see for a while! ”
In Yue Shuzhen's ears, Fan Jin was undoubtedly ridiculing him when he said this at this time. This made Yue Shuzhen's heart even more manic, and said secretly, you old Fan Jin, wait, I, Yue Shuzhen, will really make the first case to come out and see what you can say in a while?
Then I couldn't help but pray secretly, God opened his eyes, bless my Yue Shuzhen will win, after today, my Yue Shuzhen will burn incense and bow down to you every day!
Not far from them, there is a soft sedan chair without a canopy, and on the sedan chair lies Yue Shuzhen's father, Yue Shunde, the old lady of the Yue family.
From Baiyue Village to Qingdu County, such a long way, he actually came to see the list in person. Along the way, I don't know if those sedan chair drivers can still live if they are tired.
"Brother Shuzhen, after a while, you must invite all of us to have a drink! Brother Shuzhen, if you settle down the restaurant now, I can just go and wait! Fan Jin continued to say with a smile.
The more Fan Jin said this, the more Yue Shuzhen was at a loss in his heart, and he was nervous to death. Why didn't he understand Fan Jin's thoughts, Fan Jin was obviously deliberately raising himself, you must know that only if you raise it will fall loudly, where is Fan Jin's kindness? He was sincerely going to fall to his death in a moment.
If Fan Jin really hopes that he can win the case, how can he stand by Zhou Zhi's side, he hopes that Zhou Zhi can be admitted to the head of the case.
Hum! Zhou Zhi, I Yue Shuzhen don't believe it, your article written by a country boy who has never been taught by a famous teacher can be better than my Yue Shuzhen.
He thought so in his heart, but his face was trying his best not to show it, and he even said a few words of compliment to Zhou Zhi High School before leaving.
Yue Shuzhen had just left, but he saw the gate of the county government slowly open, and dozens of messengers came out left and right. Then it was the instructor of the county school, Qiu Cai, who held a huge piece of red paper and was about to come out. On the red paper, it is written that the candidates who passed the county exam this year.
Immediately, the crowd rushed towards the yamen like a tidal wave. The officials immediately stopped everyone and shouted, "Don't make noise, Qiu Xundao is about to post a list, and all the good students can watch it!" ”
Dozens of officers stopped him, and Qiu Cai walked out of the gate of the county government with a solemn face, chose an open place, and pasted the list on the wall.
Then the crowd rushed forward to watch.
In fact, the list is easy to see clearly, and the list of the county exam is not like a modern list, which needs to be carefully checked line by line. The list of the county examination is written according to the circle, and the seat number and name written in the center of the circle are the first of the county examination, and the peripheral ones are the second and third place .......
Gyeongdo County is a small county, and only the top 40 students will be admitted in this county test, so the outermost one is the 40th.
Yang Jinshan had already squeezed to the front of everyone, and he quickly found his name, the thirty-eighthth. was ecstatic for a while, and shouted loudly, "I've won it, this young master is thirty-eight in high school!" ”
His requirements are very simple, as long as he can pass the county examination and is satisfied, he can go home and ask his father Yang Qing and uncle Yang Tong for credit.
Following his voice, there were several more voices, "I also won, twenty-five, it's not easy!" ”
"I'm forty!"
It's all the sounds of joy, and they are endless.
Then came the sighs and annoyance of the majority, shaking their heads in frustration. "Alas! Missed again! ”
The reason why these lamentations came out later was because after reading the list, they hardly believed their eyes, and they had to look at it a second time, a third time, until they really saw that there was no name on it.
Yue Shuzhen and Yue Shunde, the old lady of the Yue family, were still standing on the periphery at this time, Yue Shuzhen didn't want to squeeze over to watch, he was really nervous, and he really couldn't muster up the courage to watch.
However, at this time, Yang Jinshan finished reading the list, hurriedly squeezed out, saw Yue Shuzhen at a glance, and immediately came over with a smile on his face, and said, "Uncle Yue, don't you want to go to see the list?" Actually, you don't have to look at it, this time you ......"
This guy was obviously overexcited, but when he reached the key point, he stopped abruptly, looked at Yue Shuzhen's face that was pale due to nervousness, and after a while, under Yue Shuzhen's urging, he said, "Uncle Yue, you are also in high school!" ”
The middle list was already expected by Yue Shuzhen, if he gave up his child's fame and couldn't even pass the county exam, then he Yue Shuzhen wouldn't have to live in this world.
"You kid tell me quickly, how many people is Yue Shuzhen?" The old lady of the Yue family had long been unable to hold her breath, and finally broke out at this time, and said angrily.
Although Yang Jinshan has never seen Yue Shunde, seeing that Yue Shunde is very old, it is estimated that he must be Yue Shuzhen's elder. It was Yue Shuzhen's elder, and it was naturally his uncle Yang Tong's elder.
Yang Tong is very fond of Yue Chan's fox goblin. It's no wonder that Yue Chan's little lady is really good-looking, even Yang Jinshan covets her. Therefore, Yang Jinshan didn't want to offend his uncle's elders, and was reprimanded by his uncle Yang Tong.
Yang Jinshan said with a straight face, "Uncle Yue's second place in high school!" ”
Just these few simple words, Yue Shuzhen was immediately dizzy when he heard it, and almost fell to the ground.
Second place? I'm not the head of the case!
Yue Shunde was also surprised, his face was as gloomy as water in an instant, and a pair of old eyes that were originally very bright became dull and dull.
The list has come out, and at this time it is equivalent to the dust has settled. Although Zhou Zhixin was also very nervous, he could try his best to control it and calm his mood. Fan Jinche Lang and the others originally wanted to go to see the list quickly, but there were too many people watching the list, and it was estimated that they would not see it even if they squeezed over. So a few people just stood there and waited for a little less crowd to take a closer look.
They heard the conversation between Yang Jinshan and Yue Shuzhen very clearly, and when they heard that Yue Shuzhen turned out to be the second place, Fan Jin immediately grinned and said, "Hehe! Don't look at it, there is no doubt that the head of this case must be Zhou Zhixian's brother! ”
Although he was older, his voice was very loud. Yang Jinshan seemed to hear clearly, glanced over here, pouted and said disdainfully, "Hmph!" What's so great about Zhou Zhi's boy exam? Young Master Ben is not afraid of him! Wait, Zhou Zhi kid has taken the first exam, and Young Master Ben still wants to find him to avenge the humiliation of that day! ”
His words undoubtedly show that Zhou Zhi is the head of the county test.
