The waiting time is very difficult, a few days have passed, Su Tiancheng really realized that Su Tianhao, who was full of indifference, looked a little anxious, when there was no list, anyone was hopeful, unless it was the person who handed in the blank papers, but unfortunately there were no such candidates in the examination room.

Su Tianhao is a student of Guozi Prison, but he can't go to high school, if he thinks of a way, he can also enter the officialdom and be a petty official, although he doesn't have much future, but he finally enters the bureaucracy.

Su Tianhao came to Su Tiancheng's room every day, and at the beginning, he was still able to find words to say, showing an attitude of indifference, but after a few days, his mood also changed, and his words became less and less.

Su Tiancheng will not have nothing to say, and at such a time, there is nothing to say.

August 26, the day of the township trial list.

The list is issued outside the yamen of Taiyuan Mansion, that is, on the walls on both sides of the gate, the wall is in the shape of a figure-of-eight, and the wall of the eight-character can be pasted with notices, list texts, etc., and generally people call this place the list gallery or the list shed.

The officials of the yamen of Taiyuan Prefecture made all the preparations. It's not just the officials who are ready, but the team that announces the good news has long been waiting aside, and this is the best opportunity to please the money.

Early in the morning, outside the yamen of Taiyuan Mansion, it was surrounded by water, if it was in the past, there would have been officials to intervene, but today's situation is different, the officials of Taiyuan Mansion maintain order all around, before the list, the necessary vacant land, or stay. Otherwise, the people who paste the list will not be able to get in.

Most of the people around are candidates who have taken the township exam, and of course, there are also family members of candidates, and there are more than 1,000 people as far as you can see, and there are people who are constantly coming in this direction.

Everyone is looking forward to it.

The person standing by the wall, called the newspaper person, must be loud and can announce his name loudly, after all, not everyone can squeeze to the front to see.

There are a total of 12 lists, indicating the twelve months of the year, and the top 10 lists, each with six names on it, are ranked first in order from lowest to highest. On the eleventh list, there are four candidates who have been lifted, and the last list has only one candidate's name, and this person is Xie Yuan of the township test.

At the end of the day, the list officially began.

The two wardens of the ceremonial room took the first list and walked out of the Yingtianfu Yamen, trotting all the way over, shouting loudly that the list was released.

The passage has been set aside a long time ago, and they will not be hindered in any way.

The crowd quickly quieted down, and everyone stared at the list in the hands of the two wardens, but this quiet time was very short, and when the two wardens ran over, the crowd began to stir again, and unconsciously surged ahead, and the officials who maintained order hurriedly shouted loudly, asking everyone to keep in good formation and not crowd.

When the first list was posted, the person who reported the list immediately began to sign up loudly, saying congratulations, and as the bell-like voice spread, everyone was quiet again.

After a while, someone in the crowd suddenly jumped and jumped, shouting that I was hit, I was hit, and the person next to him showed a look of envy, and someone reminded this person to go back quickly, and the person who reported the good news may have passed. The person who was reminded came to his senses and ran away in a puff of smoke.

As the list continued, some of the candidates who raised people in high school laughed, some cried, and some laughed wildly, but they all quickly calmed down and left quickly, these people were lucky.

There are more and more disappointed people, those candidates who know that they are two pounds, looking at the more and more lists pasted out, and the ranking of the middle school is getting higher and higher, and there is no hope for Zhilu Dao.

In the middle of the crowd, some people have squatted down, crying bitterly, and some candidates' expressions are numb, this kind of emotion can be infectious, which makes the atmosphere of the scene a little depressing.

There are also students who can comfort themselves and adjust their emotions, and when they see that the list is almost the same, they leave directly, probably to buy drunk in a restaurant.

Su Ertong and Su Jun were also sweating profusely, both of them were a little pale, they were not able to squeeze to the front, Su Jun's personal was slightly taller, standing on tiptoe, looking at the list, Su Ertong kept asking beside him, almost two hours had passed, and seeing that the list was about to be pasted, only the last two were left.

Su Ertong's body trembled slightly, looked at Su Jun, and spoke in a trembling voice.

"Brother Su Jun, should the young master be ......?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, aren't there still two lists, what's the hurry, wait."

Su Jun's voice was a little loud, causing everyone around him to look at him.

Su Jun's mood was also terrible, thinking about losing his temper, but looking at the people around him, his mood was not very good, and he forced his anger down.

Finally came out with a list, this list, there are only four people, that is, from the second to the fifth place, Su Jun desperately squeezed to the front, searching for the name, in fact, there is no need, the person who reported the list has already reported the name.

He was quickly disappointed and did not have Su Tiancheng's name.

Su Jun squatted down in some pain, holding his head, Su Ertong also squeezed over, and saw Su Jun squatting on the ground, holding his head, knowing that there was no hope.

Su Ertong couldn't help it, and cried out. Su Jun didn't stop Su Ertong, but he just felt weak.

Taiyuan Fucheng, already very lively, the people who report the good news, holding a big red sticker in their hands, with the name of the new imperial examination people on it, all the way are beating gongs and drums, shouting loudly in their mouths, and the sound passes through the street, provoking many people to see.

Su Tiancheng didn't go to the yamen of Taiyuan Mansion, he could expect the grand occasion, I don't know how many people in Lu Dao were waiting to see the list, he just went, and it was rare to be crowded, early in the morning, Su Ertong and Su Jun went, when the two left, they were full of confidence, believing that their young master must be able to go to high school.

The sound of the good news, the sound of gongs and drums passing through the street, from the moment of the hour, has not stopped, exclamations, discussions from time to time, hearing these voices, Su Tiancheng seems very calm, today this special day, some people are happy and some are worried, high school people, carp jumped the dragon gate, changed his identity, and directly became a member of the scholars, even if he could not be admitted to the Jinshi, he could also be a petty official.

When he got up early in the morning, he was confident enough, and the articles he made were majestic, if the examiner could read it carefully, he would definitely be able to be impressed, this was the article he did his best to make, if he couldn't get the examiner's favor, he was a little speechless.

Su Tiancheng was alone in the courtyard, although the gate was closed, the sound outside could be heard very clearly.

Su Tianhao didn't come over, on the day of the release of the list, the candidates who took the exam either went to the outside of the yamen of Taiyuan Mansion to see the list, or stayed at home or in the inn, and they would not go anywhere, let alone get together.

Nearly two hours passed, his heart began to sink, according to expectations, the list is about to end, there has been no news for Lang, the sound of good news outside, although it is still continuing, but it is gradually decreasing, not as dense as it was at the beginning.

Su Tiancheng has great self-confidence and has to accept reality.

It's already time, five hours have passed, the list should be over, but it is not over, and there should be only the last list left, this is the situation that Su Tiancheng heard Liu Zhongji say, the time of the list is generally two and a half hours, unless there are special circumstances, it will not change.

Unconsciously, Su Tiancheng's hand was clenched into a fist, very tight, the joints of his fingers were white, and there was a blank in his mind, he couldn't lift people in high school, what to do next, he really hadn't planned carefully.

Wang was also very nervous in his heart.

After all, Su Tianhao and Su Tiancheng participated in the township test, today is the day of the list, if any one of the two is lifted, it will have a decisive impact on the family's business, in her heart, of course she wants Su Tianhao to be lifted, after all, the son of the country is a prisoner, and his identity is not as good as that of a person.

The subordinates in the house also went to the yamen of Taiyuan Mansion to pay attention to the situation of the list. As time passed, Wang's heart began to sink slowly.

Thinking of the procession that passed through the streets, she couldn't wait to pull a group of people to come to her home, the firecrackers had already been prepared, but unfortunately, there was no chance to light them yet.

Two hours passed, the Wang family was extremely depressed, Su Huawen was not at home, he had always been in Pingyang Fucheng, could it be that the Su family's luck was so bad, two candidates, neither of them could go to high school.

Su Tianhao stayed in the room all the time, did not go to the scene of the announcement, nor did he go to the courtyard, he seemed very quiet, the sound of the good news and the sound of firecrackers did not seem to have much impact on him.

If he and Su Tiancheng were not able to go to high school, the two of them would definitely go to the best restaurant in Taiyuan Mansion, and they would not return home if they were not drunk.

Time passed quietly, there has been no movement outside, Su Tianhao was also a little anxious, and even more disappointed, according to the prediction of time, the list should be over, the more you go to the back, the faster the people who report the good news, because the people who publish the list behind are all in the top ranks, and they are all popular candidates for the next test, and those who report the good news can also get more rewards.

His own knowledge, he is still clear, thinking that he can get the name in front of him, it is very small, and now it is up to Su Tiancheng's situation.

Thinking of this, he was ready to go to the courtyard to see what happened to Su Tiancheng.

The atmosphere of the Su family has also become a lot more depressed, the eldest young master and the younger young master participated in the township test, and the results came out today, but after such a long time, there has been no news, and the subordinates are very careful when walking, for fear of touching the mold.
