Chapter 116: Colorful Head
Gu Bai looked up and down at Early, and then asked with a sneering smile: "Then tell me, who is your surname, and then tell me how many are you on this emperor list, or is it not on the list at all?"
It was early and just about to open his mouth, but Gu Bai burst out laughing and said, "Come on, come on, you all come and guess what rank this beggar classmate is?"
In addition to a group of slaves, Gu Bai was followed by many students who were clinging to him, and when Gu Bai said a word, naturally someone was there to greet him.
Gu Zhizhang is the prime minister of the dynasty, and his status is enough to make people rush to him.
But not everyone can climb to the sky like Gu Zhizhang.
And Gu Zhizhang's son, Gu Bai is the most enthusiastic target of those officialdom speculators.
Although Gu Bai himself is extremely arrogant and loves to be in the limelight, especially not very worthy of people, but he is indeed a real talent, many people privately regard him as one of the candidates for the next prime minister of Xia Guo after Gu Zhizhang, although it is not easy to appear in one and two phases, but even if Gu Bai is not the prime minister in the future, his achievements will definitely not be too bad, in a word, there will be no mistake in following Gu Bai.
Gu Bai likes to socialize, and there are countless things to call friends to eat in the sea, but fortunately, Gu Bai is also a bit of a loser, but he is also very measured and does not bully the weak, of course, here in Gu Bai, it is really not a big evil to ridicule others and kick others a few times, but I think it is an elegant taste. After all, with his identity, there is nothing wrong with taking a few vicious dogs out to wander around.
At this time, a white-skinned student beside Gu Bai smiled and said: "Okay, good, I usually always fight poetry and wine, and it's not interesting after a long time, since Brother Gu has such a question, let's guess together, but it's a little boring without a color head?"
A scholar next to him who looked young and old smiled and said, "Isn't it easy to do Caitou? That one wins, let's invite him to Yan Yuelou to taste the best tea, drink the most beautiful wine, and enter the most fragrant building, how about it?"
The like-minded students around them responded in unison.
I was going to say something with my mouth open, but at this time, the light in my eyes flowed, and I slowly closed my mouth, looked at the group of students opposite, and then counted them one by one.
The act of arriving early soon attracted Gu Bai's attention, and what appeared on a beggar's face at this time should be panic, helplessness, shame, and a panicked escape, but this guy is actually counting here?
Gu Bai stretched out his hand and pressed it, and the surroundings immediately fell silent.
As soon as they fell silent, everyone saw the early arrival of the heads one by one.
All the people looked at it like this, waiting to finish counting one by one, and at this time Gu Bai asked, "What are you kid counting?"
"Eighteen people, I'm thinking, if you eighteen people can't guess my ranking on the emperor list, should you give me a little luck?"
At this time, Zao Lai looked like a different person, and when he walked out of Fire and Poison City, Zao Dang was a pure scholar who had never seen any scenes, and he became especially shy when he saw the living, not good at talking, and even a little shy.
But he is not cowardly, he dares to charge against the broken generals of the Bone Casting Realm, which shows that he has this courage in his bones.
Although it is said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, it is in vain to walk without reading, and it is the right way to walk 10,000 miles after reading 10,000 books.
At this time, he arrived early from an ignorant teenager, all the way, stumbled, and finally completed the biggest transformation in his life in front of the emperor list, and the title of the first place on the emperor list gave him too much self-confidence, making him completely reborn shy.
People always have to grow, but people's growth is not slow, maybe on a certain day, maybe on a certain night, or, at that moment, a person is suddenly different!
Gu Bai squinted, and there was a hahaha laugh all around, "This beggar is really interesting, my Xia Guo Jinshi takes the exam every three years, and recruits about a hundred people at a time, and there are one hundred and six people on this list, you ask us to guess which one you are from these one hundred and six, it's too difficult, right? Isn't your victory a sure success? When we are stupid as pigs?"
"What's more, is there really you on the emperor's list?"
From afar, she had been staring at Huang Chou'er, who had arrived early, and listening to the noisy sound, she couldn't help but raise her toes and look worried, but even if she raised her toes, she couldn't see the good luck in the crowd, which made Hao Chou'er pause slightly.
If it weren't for the fact that the circle of people were all scholars, she would have come over a long time ago, but the school uniforms on those people made her dare not go forward, and the status of her and the other party was very different, so she could only worry blindly from a distance.
At this time, Gu Bai spoke: "Although we guessed one of the one from one hundred and six people, we may not lose, and he is definitely not nine out of ten sure that he will win." First of all, one hundred and six people have to subtract me and wait for eighteen to leave eighty-eight, and we always have some friends who come to take the exam together, of course, there are those who have won the ranking, as long as one person knows three, then it is fifty-four, if you remove the duplication of each other, at least you also know about forty of the Jinshi on the list. In this way, the eighteen of us only need to find this guy among the remaining forty-eight unfamiliar names, of course, if he is not on the list, it is nothing, take us as a pastime, let's pull him into the alley today and beat him together, and then throw him into the duck village to tell him to have a long memory!"
The country of Xia is small, in the slit, and facing the invasion of endless demon caves and bloodthirsty barbarian demons, so the people are fierce, especially the scholars of Xia Kingdom, many of them have swords on their waists, and they still have sharp blades, when it comes to beating people, they are more excited than drinking flower wine.
It was Gu Bai who mentioned yƬ, and the students around him laughed loudly.
Zao Dao was silent until the other party quieted down again, and looked at Zao Dao again one by one.
Gu Bai was slightly stunned, he suddenly found that this beggar-like guy actually controlled the ups and downs of the entire situation, although this guy only said a few words and counted a few counts, and then kept his mouth shut, but he kept arousing the feelings of everyone in the field.
Gu Bai suddenly became a little interested in this beggar-like guy at this time.
"What do you give me if you lose?" asked Hakudai.
Gu Bai's eyes suddenly lit up slightly, as if he understood something, and his eyes were full of interest when he looked at the early arrival.
"If you win, I'll give you a thousand taels of silver!" Gu Bai said.
There was silence all around, and then it became lively, one thousand taels of silver, definitely not a small amount, and the living needs of a family of five for a year were only four or five taels, one thousand taels, enough to buy a house in Wangjing, and take care of a few servants to live a prosperous life for a few years.
Look at this beggar-like guy again, he is so poor that he jingles well, and he is lucky to wear pants, if the beggar really gets this thousand taels of silver, he will not be able to laugh to death?
"In addition, my slave once kicked you twice, if you are really a jinshi, then I should make amends to you, so if we can't guess your rank, I will invite you to my Gujia worship hall for three days. ā
The lively voices around suddenly became silent again after Gu Bai's words came out.
Even if the Gu family's worship hall is regarded as a holy place in the entire Xia Kingdom, it enshrines the three scriptures and five ways, all of which are the way of saints, and everyone who walks into the worship hall will have a huge harvest, as for what the harvest is, those who have been in it are tight-lipped and never reveal half a word, but these people all respect the worship hall very much, and clearly tell the world that their own qiÄ is given by the worship hall, and the more this is the case, the more popular appetite will be aroused.
More than ten years ago, even the prince of the Xuanlong Empire came in person, hoping to enter the worship hall to observe, but was refuted by Gu Zhizhangsheng, so that now the prince has become the Xuanzheng emperor of the Xuanlong Empire, and there are still all kinds of dissatisfaction with the Xia Kingdom, and the root cause is that thirty percent of them never entered the worship hall back then.
Not everyone can enter the worship hall, even Gu Bai estimates that he has not entered it yet, is he really qualified to lead others into the worship hall?
"My father said that as long as I can pass the Jinshi examination, I can bring a friend into the worship hall, now see if you have this blessing!"
Gu Bai's eyes suddenly became a little hot when they heard this, they were willing to be a follower behind Gu Bai, didn't they just hope to get a little benefit from Gu Bai, if they could follow Gu Bai into the worship hall, then the benefit would be considered to touch the sky, this opportunity must not be missed, and it is even more important than the Jinshi in the examination, after all, the Jinshi test is once every three years, and there may not be a chance and a way to enter the worship hall for a hundred years.
The depressed silence around Gu Bai was very satisfied, what he wanted was this effect, he looked at the early arrival arrogantly, he thought that he would open his mouth in shock when he arrived early, but he didn't expect that the early arrival at this time was full of copper smell, and asked: "One thousand taels of silver? You said a thousand taels of silver? You won't regret it, right?"
Cast pearls before swine!
Gu Bai was furious, he really wanted to roar, even if it was 100,000 taels of gold, he couldn't exchange it for a chance to enter the worship hall.
I grew up in the city of fire and poison, what do you know about the worship hall there?
Princess Jing's life is tense, and the life of the housekeeper is even more tense, as early as the whole year, he can't see what the silver looks like, he can't even imagine what a thousand taels of silver should look like piled together, with this thousand taels of silver, he can ask his father and mother to get out of the fire and poison city and settle down outside Wangjing.
The eighteen students behind Gu Bai discussed one after another, colluded with each other, copied a copy of the imperial list, and crossed out the names on the list they knew one by one, and in the end, only a list of forty names appeared in Gu Bai's hands.
The name of the two words in the upper right corner stabbed the corners of Gu Bai's eyes slightly, Gu Bai gritted his teeth, and never looked at the position that made him heartache, that position should have been his!
"Let's guess from the smallest, we will definitely be able to guess!" a fat man next to Gu Bai asserted.
There was a chorus of harmony all around, this decision was not wrong, after all, it looked like a beggar in the morning, such a guy, who could believe that he would be a Jinshi? If such a guy is really a Jinshi, it is already a miracle, can he still be called a figure in front of the emperor's list?
On the other hand, these people definitely don't believe that early arrival will beat them, so, deep down, they firmly believe that early arrival can only be worse than them, so counting from the back to the front is simply the most correct way.
"Okay, let's not guess one by one, just select eighteen directly from the back of this list, are you among them?"
Gu Bai didn't even look at it, he directly unfolded it in front of Zao, and said with a smile: "Do you really know words?"
Morning laughter, laughter, and then that heartbroken laughter, it looked like it was crazy.
He should be forgiven for arriving early, he has experienced too much today, and he should have laughed at the nomination of the emperor list, not to mention the top champion of the list? In the blink of an eye, he got a huge sum of 1,000 taels of silver, and he had to hold himself out of his illness if he didn't laugh a little crazy.
All the people looked stupidly at the morning and laughed and swayed, snot and tears flowed all over their faces, and they all had an inexplicable feeling at this time, they began to feel sad for themselves, they actually made a serious bet with a fool, and they were so sad that they came home.
Now even if they are asked to beat up early, they are not interested, of course it is fun to beat people, but it is not fun to beat a fool at all.
Even Gu Bai's eyes showed a trace of doubt, and he frowned when he looked at Zao Dao, who was so smiling that his snot was about to flow into his mouth.
Huang Chou'er outside the crowd in the distance could only hear the laughter of the early arrival, at first she was quite happy, it would not be a bad thing to be early to laugh like this, but listening to it, Huang Chou'er shook his head and sighed, did he fail to pass the test? Or is he an idiot himself?
Just when the crowd was bored and ready to disperse, the early arrival, who had changed from standing to sitting, suddenly restrained his smile and swallowed out the laughter, and his childish face showed full confidence.
Zao Dao lightly tapped his fingers on his knees, and said: "Gu Bai, I know you, Prime Minister Gu's son, I will go to your house tomorrow to get a thousand taels of silver." ā
The crowd around them, who had already given up on arriving early, looked at them in surprise.
Gu Bai's eyes became brighter and brighter, he looked at the early arrival, and said with a smile: "You are not among these eighteen people?"
Zai Arrive nodded.
Gu Bai looked at the people behind him, and the scholars behind him were stunned, most of their grades were hovering below the fifty, to be honest, those who really have the ability to get in the top ten in the exam, they will generally wait for the price to sell, and they are not in a hurry to take refuge with others, and when the list is released, there will be an olive branch thrown by the big guys in the DPRK, only those of them who know that they will not move forward or backward will find a way for themselves in advance and do some things to climb the dragon and the phoenix.
If you are not among these eighteen people, then you will not be able to rank before the fifty in the emperor list as early as you arrive? This is too exaggerated, right?
The young and old scholar who had been standing beside Gu Bai immediately shouted: "Boy, I originally thought you were stupid, and the previous things were just that, are you entertaining me now?
The surrounding students echoed it.
This is not to blame for them looking at people in the cracks of the door, after all, since the founding of the Xia Dynasty, the top 50 savings in the Jinshi list are all the children of rich families, and there is no shady scene among them, but it is because the rich can read more books and write more words, and it is quite difficult for those with average family backgrounds to read books, not to mention the various consumption of paper, ink, pen and inkstone. It's just a joke that someone who arrives so early and is so unclothed can read, can afford to read, and can be admitted to the top 50 on the Jinshi list. The odds are just too low.
Gu Bai suddenly said: "You won?" Okay, why don't you do this, let's play another game, let's choose eighteen more, if you haven't been selected yet, I will lose you another thousand taels of silver, how about it?"
When he heard this, he shook his head with a smile and said: "If you are greedy and chew more, a thousand taels of silver is enough for me, if I can't control my greedy desires, I will lose all my money sooner or later!"
Hearing this sentence from the early arrival, the students around suddenly felt that this guy was really not an ordinary beggar, and there was something extraordinary.
Gu Bai smiled, then looked at Zao Dao and asked, "Since you are going to stop, then it is time to tell me what your name is." ā
"Early arrival, early morning, early arrival!" "Early arrival is born early in the morning, and the early steward directly gave early arrival the most straightforward name. It's a rare name
When Gu Bai heard this, although he was a little prepared, after really hearing this name, Gu Bai still felt that he had been beaten hard with a heavy hammer.
The students around them widened their eyes and opened their mouths wide.
Arriving early, the owner of this unfamiliar name turned out to be like this.
Among them, there are especially two people who feel that their legs and stomachs are twisting, and their legs seem to have turned into noodles, these two guys are the evil slaves of Gu Bai who kicked two feet early before.
They trembled at the thought that they had just kicked a champion to the ground, and they originally looked at the early arrival with contempt, but now, they wanted to kneel down directly to the early arrival, kowtow to the early arrival to forgive their disrespect.
Standing up at this time, patted the soil on his buttocks, and walked directly away from the stunned crowd towards Huang Chou'er's stall.
A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Gu Bai's mouth, and he seemed to be quite satisfied with the early arrival.
Huang Chou'er was looking at her feet crossed, and the laughter that suddenly stopped as early as she was made felt was more terrible than when she laughed madly, and at this time, when she saw that she walked out intact, Huang Chou'er's heart let go of a lot, in Huang Chou'er's opinion, she was a really poor guy, and she was not beaten, even if she was lucky,.
When I saw Huang Chou'er early, I couldn't help grinning, with a stupid look, and ran towards Huang Chou'er......
The hidden dragon is deep, the golden armor is covered with dust, and it will turn into a dragon when it encounters the wind and clouds!I1387
