Chapter 221: Two Thoughts
The third lady looked sad, and it seemed that she was really dead.
She is an eccentric elf, not dead and without lungs, relying on Lu Bing's favor in the mansion, and is rampant, but it doesn't mean that she is a second goods. also knows that the reason why the people in the house let her and are afraid of her is not because of her grandfather.
But grandpa's body is getting worse and worse, and it is estimated that he will not survive for a few days. If he leaves, with his father's attitude towards his mother and their brothers and sisters, the future can be imagined.
The reason why he was sitting here before was that he refused to lose in front of others, and secondly, maybe Lu Chang's luck was so good that he would hit the ground running.
But as time passed, there were only two places left.
If the last 30 of the township test are still likely to be searched, or the examiner will let you pass the test as soon as he loosens his hand. When you wait for the top 20, you have to rely on your real skills to speak, and there is basically no luck.
Especially when the top three are arranged, the examiner is even more cautious, for fear that the papers picked out will not stand the test and attract criticism. After all, the top three papers are related to the face of the imperial court, the Shuntian Mansion and the examiner, and they must not be sloppy.
With Lu Chang's real level, how could he be in the top ten, or even the top three.
By this moment, it can be said that all the suspense has been killed.
Lu Shuang only felt that everything was lost, and he just wanted to get out of here quickly.
Hearing her say this, Wu Jie smiled: "Why is there no play, I think it is very likely that it will be my turn and Brother Chang'er next." ”
After he came down, he also found an opportunity to quietly ask the dead fat man if he had any joints on the exam paper. Of course, this question was asked very vaguely at the time, and the fat man answered in the affirmative, saying that he had already kept it, just a volume.
With Huang Jin's power in the imperial court, it is estimated that people have already been arranged to take over. After all, he is the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant and holds the power to approve the red, and every government affairs in the court cannot be passed without his nod. Besides, don't the eunuchs just do this kind of dirty work, they only ask about the result when they do things, and they don't look at the process, and they are a little less afraid than the scholars.
If this is the case, in order to curry favor with Eunuch Huang, the examiner will definitely set a good ranking for this paper, either first or second. Otherwise, every year, the officials of the ministries and prefectures will have a performance evaluation, which offends Huang Xiang, and this official will be done.
Lu Chang should be fine, as for him Wu Jie, he also put some thought into the last few eight-strand essays. The copying is the champion text of the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is still possible for an examiner to look away, but they are all first-class quality champion essays, and the possibility of seeing them is very small.
Therefore, he has nothing to worry about.
I am only curious, who will take Xie Yuan and who will take the second place in the last name of himself and the dead fat man?
I am sure to take the first place, otherwise, the examiners' eating appearance will be too ugly.
He raised his chopsticks with a smile and poked on a plate of saury that had been cooled, but he had no appetite, and teased Lu Shuang with a smile: "Third Miss, if we make a bet, it should be Brother Chang'er's good news next, and the fat man Jinke will definitely win the second place." ”
As soon as he said it, Wu Jie accidentally used the Internet language of later generations.
"What's there to bet on, is it interesting?" Lu Shuang's expression was gloomy.
Wu Jie asked Lu Chang again: "Fatty, are you also desperate?" Think about the situation when you were studying for the past two months, think about the effort you spent on reading, and think about the situation when you had a nosebleed because you were tired from studying without sleep. It's like playing with money, and when it's time to unveil the cup, you retreat. What, no more confidence, scared? ”
He sneered: "I'm not afraid, the so-called bystander Qing, your efforts during this time Wu Jie are all in your eyes." God rewards hard work, and hard work pays off. If you still can't get it, this god is too. Haha, Mr. Dongbi said before, if you don't raise your body well, you will be extinct in the future, why, there are no eggs now? It's a man, let's take a gamble and bring your sister-in-law. ”
The voice was a little louder, and he was scolded by Wu Jie like this. Lu Chang's pale face showed a trace of unhealthy redness, and he was also angry, and looked at Wu Jie fiercely: "Bet, fuck I'll bet with you, I will accompany you in whatever you want to bet." I'm really not going to leave today, and we'll see who the last two flowers are. ”
When Miss Lu San heard Wu Jie's vicious words, she was also trembling with anger: "I bet with you, Wu Jie, what do you want?" ”
Wu Jie: "I bet a hundred taels of silver with Brother Chang, as for you, don't rush my manuscript in the future, I really can't stand it!" "The money was asked for at the time, to be honest, the third lady used to be a draft maniac, and Wu Jie was already a little scared.
"Okay, bet." The brother and sister nodded at the same time.
…… Here, Wu Jie kept encouraging the Shuang brothers and sisters.
Over there, the eldest and second masters of the Lu family began to worry.
In particular, Lu Er's master has great expectations for his eldest son Lu Xuanben, and he also has strong confidence. He used to estimate that with his son's talent, it should not be difficult to be promoted. Of course, Shuntianfu is full of talents, and it is estimated that it is a little difficult to enter the top ten, but the top 30 will definitely have his name.
However, after waiting for a day, I still haven't seen his good news.
This has to worry him, there are too many accidents on the imperial examination field, you don't know what will happen when the examiner is reviewing the papers? Sometimes, people are not as good as heaven.
Now there are two places left, will there be Xuan'er?
Seeing Lu Wei's worried face, Master Lu said, "Second brother, don't worry. As the saying goes, good things are not busy, the further back, the better the exam. According to Brother Wei, the next one is not Xuan'er, in that case, doesn't it mean that he is firmly in the first place Xie Yuan. If so, it is the glory of my Lu family. Also, even Ting Chen won the twelfth place, Xuan'er's talent is better than Ting Chen, and it is not a problem to enter the top two. ”
Lin Tingchen hurriedly glanced at Lu Xuan flatteringly: "Brother Xuan'er's talent is naturally better than that of the little nephew, in my opinion, he must be a high school Xie Yuan." ”
Lu Xuan glanced at him contemptuously, with a determined expression: "That's natural, Lu Xuan is determined to win this science, second place, I can't look down on it." Otherwise, how can I show my means in front of Brother Lin. ”
He also has a strong sense of winning first.
Because he really hated Lin Tingchen, a villain, Lu Xuan also tore off the mask of modesty and prudence, and looked at Lin Tingchen's eyes very sharply.
When Second Master Lu heard his son say so surely, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Since this is the case, I can rest assured that I am a father." He took another sip of his glass.
Lu Xuan recalled the articles made in the examination room, especially the article "A Hundred Mu of Dung", and he was even more proud in his heart, and couldn't help but use his fingers to gently knock out the rhythm on his thighs with the tone of the article.
