Chapter 278: The Trial List

On April 1st, the sun was shining, and the originally ordinary early summer day became lively because of the release of the list.

Tens of thousands of scholars from all over the world gathered in Chang'an to participate in the examination. Early in the morning, there were many scholars gathered under the wall of the list, densely packed, and there were more than 10,000 people. Some of them were still holding the breakfast they bought on the side of the road, rubbing their eyes, and talking excitedly with the acquaintances next to them, all wishing each other to be on the list.

Xu Mingyuan had made an appointment with Bai Molou and them to come together, so everyone simply went to have breakfast together, and then they came to Guozi Prison leisurely.

There is still half an hour before the release of the list, but at this time, the places where the list is posted are already leaked from the inside and outside. Xu Mingyuan and Bai Molou, as well as Fang Tingyan, Ning Anzhi and others did not squeeze forward, and went straight outside to find a shady place, standing and chatting.

Unlike those poor students who came from afar, Fang Tingyan and the others let their family members go to the front early in the morning, and it is estimated that the front is now full of those sturdy family members wearing long robes.

As long as the list is posted, they can write down the ranking, and then come out and tell their master, which is much more comfortable than squeezing forward by themselves.

In fact, there are a few people in their group, as long as there is no accident, there should be no problem on the list, and they will come here today just to see who is at the top of the list.

Although he will have to participate in the palace examination a few days after being on the list, it is also a great honor to be able to win the Huiyuan, even if it is not as good as the champion, it is the best among ten thousand people.

Similar to Xu Mingyuan and them, most of the sons and brothers who participated in the examination in Chang'an City were also standing in the shade at this time, just waiting for their servants to report their rankings.

"Brother Xu, I heard you say that you want to win the champion that day, so the name of Huiyuan today, but you have become a bamboo?" Fang Tingyan shook the jade fan, looked at Xu Mingyuan and said with a smile.

Xu Mingyuan shook his head with a smile and said: "Cheng Zhu is in his chest, I don't dare to say this, not to mention the tens of thousands of talents from all over the world, who of you is not going to that Huiyuan." ”

Fang Tingyan and the others laughed, and just wanted to speak, but they were preempted by a slightly mocking voice.

"But there is still a little bit of self-knowledge, today's Huiyuan is naturally Brother Wen's."

Xu Mingyuan and the others turned their heads to look, a group of five or six people were slowly walking forward, the first one standing in the middle was that Wenhua, and the one who spoke should be the young man standing beside him wearing a luxurious green robe embroidered with gold thread, Wang Ziqi followed half a step behind.

That young man is Yan Hao, the son of Fengle County Mansion, and he has always been good friends with Wenhua, and Xu Mingyuan has also learned a lot of nobles and sons in Chang'an City these days, so he also knows some of this person.

"It's naturally better to have self-knowledge than people who don't, and now they talk about it, and when they fall face down on the ground, it won't look good." Bai Molou looked at Yan Hao and sneered.

Outside the Chang'an Gate that day, Wenhua was kicked in the face by Shi Yuexin, and was directly ignored, his face was swollen for more than half a month, which can be described as a loss of face.

Now Bai Molou's words undoubtedly uncovered his scars again, although he said it to Yan Hao, but Wen Hua, who was standing in the middle, was already slightly angry.

"If you can only do a war of words, you can't be a minister." Wen Hua snorted coldly and walked to the side.

Yan Hao looked at Xu Mingyuan and shook his head with a smile and said, "I heard Brother Wen say that he wants to ask His Majesty to marry in Taiming Palace, maybe I will be able to drink his and Miss Zeng's wedding wine this year." After speaking, he followed Wenhua.

"Then you can't drink this wine, with me, this marriage can't be done." Xu Mingyuan's voice was slightly cold.

Xu Mingyuan and they made a fuss here, and it also attracted the attention of many sons and brothers who hid under the eaves next to them, many people had seen Xu Mingyuan outside Chang'an City, and Shi Yuexin and Zeng Qingyi stopped with a word, and then they were even more jealous of him, and now they are quite interested in seeing him and Wenhua facing each other.

"What is the origin of this Xu Mingyuan, he can mix with Fang Tingyan and them, not to mention, and now he dares to choke Wenhua like this."

"Last month, the eldest lady of the Zeng family entered Chang'an, but he stole the limelight from Wenhua, I heard that Wenhua said that he wanted to win the champion, and then asked His Majesty to give marriage, and the feud between the two is no longer resolved."

"Wenhua's poetry is the best among the young generation in Chang'an, and the old man in my family has praised him, but Xu Mingyuan doesn't know how to learn and whether he can really compete with him."

"I don't think it's difficult, but the few behind him, Fang Tingyan, Ning Anzhi, Bai Liyu, and Bai Molou, all have the strength to compete for this yuan."

Wen Hua's footsteps paused slightly, Yan Hao turned to look at Xu Mingyuan, and sneered: "What do you think you are?" In terms of life experience and talent, how can you compare to Brother Wen? ”

"I heard that Yan Gongzi bought two little maids a few days ago, and then they accidentally fell into the lake of the county mansion and died, it seems that the lake in the county mansion eats young and beautiful girls, and they have eaten a lot over the years." Xu Mingyuan didn't answer Yan Hao's words, but said in a slightly cold voice.

When Yan Hao heard this, his face turned pale in an instant, and even Wen Hua turned around and looked at Xu Mingyuan with some surprise.

"That's because they accidentally fell into the lake themselves, what does it have to do with me, Xu Mingyuan, if you dare to spew blood, be careful that the people of Jingzhao Mansion will arrest you in prison." Yan Hao calmed himself down and pointed at Xu Mingyuan and said sharply.

"Really? But when did I say something to you? I thought it was the lake in Yanfu that would eat people. Xu Mingyuan's face showed a little surprise, and he sneered again: "The courtyard of the county mansion is full of walls, but if this person wants others to know, then he has to do it himself, otherwise the man-eating lake may not recognize his master one day." ”

Yan Hao's face became more and more ugly, but before he could continue to speak, Wen Hua on the side had already spoken out: "Xu Mingyuan, you have to be careful when you speak in Chang'an, the four words that come out of your mouth are just words." ”

Xu Mingyuan looked at Na Wenhua, and said in a slightly cold voice: "You have to be more careful in doing things in Chang'an, disasters may come from the mouths of the subordinates, and the end will be even worse." ”

Wen Hua glanced at Xu Mingyuan deeply, turned around and walked to the other side.

Yan Hao glanced at Xu Mingyuan with some resentment, and turned to follow. Wang Ziqi kept his head down, and when he turned around, he glanced at Xu Mingyuan with a complicated expression, and quickly followed those people.

"That idiot has been spoiled, I don't think he will give up, so I have to guard against it." Bai Molou looked at Yan Hao's back and said softly.

"I'm quite expecting him to do something, this kind of scum, it's a curse to keep it." Xu Mingyuan showed a sneer on his face and said softly.

At this moment, a bell rang from the prison, and the crowd was quiet for a while, and then they rushed forward in a commotion. (To be continued.) )
