The official's words were like a boulder that smashed into her heart.

She subconsciously looked back at the names one by one.

From the last one to the first, I never saw the word Wei Yang.

At this time, not only her, but Lin Jingyu and Junniang were also panicked, Lin Jingyu looked for it over and over again, "How could it be?" How could there be no name of Brother Wei!

In the past few months since I met Brother Wei, I have seen his knowledge and literary brilliance with my own eyes, only above me, and by no means below me. ”

"Then how could it not be on the list." Junniang grabbed Lin Jingyu's arm in a panic.

And Luo Qingqing rushed in front of Wei Yang at the fastest speed.

Wei Yang was still standing in place, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and there was confusion in his eyes that could not be concealed.

No?

It's not on the entire gold list!

Luo Qingqing's saliva swallowed and swallowed, and after a while, she asked in a low voice, "Wei Yang, what should we do?" ”

Wei Yang slowly looked at Luo Qingqing and grabbed her cold hand.

She was too nervous, and her palms were cold but sweaty.

"It must be a mistake." Lin Jingyu said: "I definitely don't believe that this is the result. No, Brother Wei, let's go to the ministry and ask again. ”

"Nope." Wei Yang's thin lips opened slightly, "Jing Yu, you are the fourth, what you need to do now is to go back and wait, and the people from the Ministry will definitely look for you." ”

"But what about you?"

"I think I need to calm down."

"Wei Gongzi, you must not be too much-" Junniang wanted to say something, but she didn't dare.

Luo Qingqing took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down.

"Junniang, it's okay, just have me with you, you can go back. I took the fourth place in the exam, so it must be a lot of good things to go back. ”

After separating from Lin Jingyu, Luo Qingqing and Wei Yang returned to the carriage.

Originally, Cheng An was still waiting with anticipation, but seeing that the faces of the two of them were so heavy, he also knew that things were not good.

The carriage drove quietly along the wide avenue.

Luo Qingqing held Wei Yang's arm, "Wei Yang, isn't this result too strange?" ”

"Yes." Wei Yang muttered.

"Even if you don't do well in the exam, you won't be on the list. You say, could it be that someone did something? ”

"I don't know, I can't say for sure." Wei Yang leaned against the wall of the car.

Luo Qingqing thought of Zhao Shitu who he met that day.

Just now, vaguely, she seemed to see Zhao Shitu's name on the list.

She said in a low voice: "You say, is it possible that Zhao Shitu?" ”

"Well, he's number three.

Maybe it's possible.

But we don't have the evidence to draw such conclusions. ”

"So what to do?" Although Luo Qingqing calmed down, she accepted the status quo.

But there is still a way to go.

Wei Yangsi lined his beard, "Cheng An, go back to the house first, take the letter left by Uncle Shen, and let's go to meet Master Peng." ”

"That's right." Luo Qingqing smashed his fist into the palm of his hand, "We haven't seen Master Peng yet." ”

Peng Zuye, the head of the Sixth Rank of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Although it is not a powerful official position.

But he has always been a person who has been sitting in this capital for so many years.

After some inquiry, the carriage stopped outside Peng's mansion.

Peng's mansion is not big, and there is a guard guarding outside the door.

Wei Yang's letter was handed in, and after a while, Mrs. Peng greeted her with her skirt.

"Which one is Wei Yangxian's nephew?"

Wei Yang stepped forward and bowed, "Auntie, it's me." ”

Mrs. Peng looked at it and laughed, "You are Wei Yang, no wonder." Come in, you look so good, it's too much like when your mother was young. ”

"Aunt has seen my mother?"

"No, at that time, your mother also came to the capital, and we were still young at that time."

They entered the hall together, and Mrs. Peng summoned the maid to serve tea.

"There's no good tea at home, so you can drink it casually. After a while, I sent the butler out to buy the good ones and came back. Wait for our master to come back at noon, and have another meal together. ”

"Thank you, Aunt Peng, for your hospitality."

"You're polite, your father, and Lord Shen Anran, plus our master, they had a good relationship when they were young."

Mrs. Peng was enthusiastic, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic, so she talked homely and sat in Peng's mansion for an hour.

Peng Zuye is back.

"Master, you're back, I'll be waiting for you, come and see if it's Wei Naiwen's son!"

She said as she showed the letter to Peng Zuye.

Peng Zuye is a physically strong old man who looks a few years younger than Wei Naiwen.

After a quick glance at the letter, he laughed, "Virtuous nephew, virtuous nephew, I didn't expect me to see you again." ”

"Yes, Uncle Peng."

"How? How are Lao Shen and Lao Wei doing in Yunzhou City? ”

Wei Yang didn't hide it, and told the truth about the situation at home.

After hearing this, Peng Zuye was also very emotional, "Alas, I only said that you had an accident a few years ago, but I didn't expect that there were so many things happening at home, no wonder your father resigned." ”

Speaking of this, Peng Zuye suddenly thought of something, "Hey, virtuous nephew, I remember that you used to read very well, and your writing was also very good." ”

"Barely enough."

"Then you come back to the capital to take the imperial examination, the result must be very good. By the way, today is the day of the list, why did you still arrive at my Peng Mansion?

Do you want to give me good news? ”

After he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, because Wei Yang's appearance was obviously not a happy event.

Wei Yang paused, he stood up, "Uncle Peng, I don't want to hide it, I didn't dare to come and bother you. It's really like I have a fork in my scientific research. ”

"How?"

"I'm not on the list."

"Impossible, right?" Peng Zuye didn't believe it, "I can see your article with my own eyes back then, what's the matter, even if he is not the champion, he can't say that he is not on the list, right?" ”

"It's true that I didn't find Wei Yang's name." Luo Qingqing couldn't help but say: "I watched it three times from beginning to end, and there really isn't." ”

Peng Zuye was upright, "Don't worry. Virtuous nephew, how did you write those articles, recite them to me.

Although I have written fewer articles over the years, the foundation is still there, and I can still distinguish one or two. ”

Wei Yang was not ambiguous, and memorized his two articles to Peng Zuye.

Peng Zuye listened, and was so anxious that he paced in the room, "Impossible! No way! Virtuous nephew, you have such a literary talent, and you are not on the list, and I don't believe it if you really beat me to death. ”

"What's going on here? It's not because Wei Yang has offended someone, that's why he became like this. Luo Qingqing was worried, "Master Peng, do you think it is possible that it is someone from the Zhao family." ”

As soon as Zhao Shitu and Wei Yang came to have festivals in their early years.

Second, the Zhao family is Zhao Shuxiang's maiden family.

Peng Zuye shook his head, "It's hard to say, the Zhao family doesn't have much status in the capital, and I haven't heard that the Zhao family has anyone in the ministry."

So, nephew, you stay at home and eat first.

I also have two friends in the ministry, so I'm going to ask them myself. ”
