After those people were driven away, Qiao Xi came out of the house.

"Big brother? What the hell is going on? Is there really someone cheating? "It's been checked so strictly, this cheater's ability is really high.

Qiao Song looked out the window and whispered, "Naturally, there is." But don't worry, such people are very few, and they are worth the risk of the examiner, and as for only two or three, they will never have much impact on the General Administration, as they say. ”

"The only ones who can make the examiner take risks are those young masters of high-ranking officials. And what about them? ”

"It's just a matter of keeping a back hand, if they don't win tomorrow, they will take out a petition and ask the court to take the exam again, or pull down the people who have already been examined, as for why they came to our house, it may be famous, just imagine, people like me have signed, wouldn't it be more obvious that the rumors of cheating are true."

"They are too bold, aren't they afraid of the court to track them down?"

"Don't be afraid, they are already the identity of the people, and unlike ordinary people, their words are not punished, which is a kind of tolerance for scholars. It's good that things go the way they expected, but if it doesn't work, they have nothing to lose. Qiao Song lowered his head and smiled, and then raised his head again, "But this time, I see that there are a lot of people who sign their petition, and they have made such a big move, and it is good that there is no action after the list, if there is a move, it will definitely attract the attention of the imperial court, although it is not convicted for words, but it is not said that incitement of counterargument is not convicted." ”

"What the big brother means is that they are likely to shoot themselves in the foot." Qiao Xi said clearly.

"Who knows, maybe they didn't dare to act, or maybe they themselves were won, then the petition wouldn't have to be handed in."

"I didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns in an exam, and I don't know how many people lost it in the past." Qiao Xi sighed lightly.

"Being on the list and being off the list are completely two fates, and at this time, there are naturally people who want to do their best to fight." Qiao Song was also very helpless. Ten years of cold windows just to get a chance to ascend to heaven, of course I don't want to let go.

"But also, heaven and hell, everyone wants to go to heaven." The sorrow of the ancient scholars, close in front of the eyes but far away in the sky.

The next day, the results began to be released on time, and the inns full of candidates in the capital began to crackle early in the morning in order to ask for a good omen.

Even the pedestrians on the road are talking about today's test list.

Qiao Xi is a big-hearted person, she has always had a natural mentality towards her eldest brother, if she wins, she will celebrate well, and it is not a big deal if she doesn't win, and her family does not rely on this to survive.

After breakfast in the morning, I started to get busy.

Cement has already started to be put into production, and of course, this first batch of cement will be supplied to her first.

All the tenants on Zhuangzi's side have re-signed contracts with her, but there are also tenants who have not signed with her, and she is not reluctant to sign them.

As for the contract with her, she also signed the contract in a different way, no longer renting land, but renting a tenant, and each person rents in the form of wages.

The renovation work on Zhuangzi's side is also proceeding in an orderly manner, and everything is running according to the normal trajectory.

On the way back from going around the kiln factory, I heard a commotion: "The list is released, the list is released......"

"Girl, it's time to release the list."

"Let's go, go back."

As soon as he got home, Qiao Xi jumped directly from the carriage and went straight to the house, "Big brother, big brother, it's on the list outside." ”

In the house, Qiao Song was explaining the meaning of the word to Qiao Bai, when he heard Qiao Xi's voice, he raised his head and looked at her with a smile, "Silly girl, what are you doing in such a hurry, don't you think it doesn't matter if I can pass the middle school or not?" ”

He poured himself a glass of water, "It doesn't matter, but you have taken the test so seriously, naturally you can't suffer that sin in vain." ”

Qiao Song chuckled lightly and said dotingly: "You ...... you"

Everyone in the family knew that the list was about to be released, and they were more nervous than several masters one by one, and opened the door, and some people stood directly at the door and listened carefully to the movement outside.

"I'm so nervous, do you think the eldest prince can win?"

"What is there to worry about, the eldest son's previous achievements are obvious to all, and this time it will not be too bad."

"Even if you don't win, it's nothing, anyway, the eldest prince is still young, and there is still time to come again, don't be afraid."

"That's it, the eldest prince will definitely be able to."

"It's okay if the eldest son doesn't hit, you can help the girl take care of the shop."

"Go, go, what do you say, the eldest prince will definitely be able to."

The people in the family are so happy that you have long forgotten whether you can hear the masters sitting there.

"Big brother, you see, they're more nervous than you." Qiao Xi smiled and smiled.

"Hehe, they're nervous too."

As he was talking, he suddenly heard a sound of gongs and drums on the main street in front of him, and then someone shouted, "He, Yunxia Province Zhu Rong Zhu Old Man will take the 249th place in the high school entrance examination!" He, Yunxia Province Zhu Rong Zhu Old Master Zhu will be the 249th in the high school examination! ...... "This battle of the good news can be more powerful than the township test, the gongs, drums and suona are all in battle, and the sound of the good news is higher than the other."

There are probably other people on this Huamen street, and Chunhua is standing at the door, and they can still hear the sighs and voices next door.

"Dad, it's okay, this is just the beginning, with your score, you must be within a hundred."

"Hey...... Don't be presumptuous...... Cannot...... Don't ......"

Hearing this leisurely sigh, Chunhua became even more nervous, although the eldest son of their family had always been the first before, but how could a province be compared with the meeting that brought together the world's smart people.

Although they are subordinates, they have also secretly inquired, this kind of good test before, but it is not impossible to pass the test, and there are quite a few people.

"Sister Furong, ...... you say" Chunhua clenched her hands nervously.

"Silly girl, what are you worried about, this is just starting to report the good news, there are so many in the back, our eldest son's grades are definitely not bad, we have to have confidence in the eldest son." She wasn't worried anyway.

As soon as Furong's voice fell at the door, the people next to him heard it, and they all looked over, Qiao Xi They have lived here for so long, and they really haven't dealt with them, and they don't know if they have anyone who has participated in the exam, besides, there are so many people who have participated in the exam, and it is impossible for Qiao Song to get acquainted with everyone.

Qiao Xi almost goes out early and returns late every day, and does not deliberately pay attention to the neighbors around him, and Qiao Song rarely goes out because he is preparing for the exam, so they don't know that there are also candidates.

Everyone heard each other's voices, and their eyes converged on the other house, all wanting to see what the candidates here were like.

At this time, Qiao Xi's three brothers and sisters happened to come to the door.

"Big boy, girl, little boy." Spring flowers, a few of them were busy saluting.

The people next door were shocked when they saw Qiao Song so young, this look is probably not even twenty years old, right, so young to participate in the examination? What a talent!

However, the exam is not the same as the previous exam after all, these candidates come from all over the world, and they are the elite of the elite, and the gap between them is not a world of difference, maybe a mental negligence, or whether the exam questions are good or not, will affect the final results.

A young man like Qiao Song is more or less ambitious, and once he makes a slight mistake in the examination room, he may collapse psychologically.

Therefore, there are young people who can pass the examination, but the number is definitely not many, and most of the people who can pass the examination and enter the palace examination are old birds who have been in the examination room for a long time.

When the family saw Qiao Song, they were startled at first, and then breathed a sigh of relief, at least in terms of age, Qiao Song had a greater chance of not being successful.

Qiao Song nodded at the middle-aged candidate next door, the man was slightly stunned, and then nodded to Qiao Song.

After nodding, he frowned, there are not many people like Qiao Song who can participate in the examination at such a young age, it should not be an unknown person, but he has been studying hard behind closed doors, and he has not learned what kind of club he has participated in like other candidates, playing and making friends, and he really doesn't know much about the candidates of the same class.

However, success is also young and defeat is also young, and most of this teenager will not pass the test. Thinking of this, the man hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, and arched his hand to Qiao Song again, so that there was one less competitor. U9 eBook

Although Qiao Song is young, he has been trained by his sister in the past few years, and his observation of words and expressions is still very accurate, the man thought it was good to cover it up, but he didn't know that his eyes had betrayed him, but he didn't expose it, and nodded to the man at the same time.

"He, the name of the provincial Liyuan Mansion Park Qin Pu old man will be the second hundred and twenty-sixth in the high school examination! , the 226th place in the high school entrance examination of the provincial power garden house Park Qin Pu high school! , the 226th place in the high school entrance examination of the provincial province of Liyuan Province Park Chin Pu Lao Ye High School!! The twenty-sixth place ............ in the exam" Qiao Song had just nodded to the middle-aged man, and the sound of good news sounded on the front street again.

"Two hundred and twenty-six have already registered!" Someone next door said, apparently worried. , one less place means one less chance, and the odds of fancy will become slim.

The middle-aged man tried his best to remain calm on his face, but his slightly trembling hands still revealed the tension in his heart.

He glanced at Qiao Song quietly and found that he was actually relaxed, chuckling and saying this to his younger siblings.

The middle-aged man's heart choked, feeling that his mentality was compared, how could he not have a young man calm? There is no harm without contrast.

But then I thought that this young man had long felt that he was hopeless in high school, so he simply didn't have expectations. Thinking about it made him feel much better. "He, Tanzhou...."

Spring flowers, their hearts lifted at the same time.

The hearts of Mother Sun and several maids were raised at the same time. "Tanzhou Qianyang Mansion Guanxi Tongguan Lao Ye High School will be the one hundred and eighty-eighth in the exam! Tanzhou Qianyang Prefecture Guanxi Tongguan Lao Ye High School will be the 188th place in the examination!! Tanzhou Qianyang Prefecture Guanxi Tongguan Lao Ye High School Entrance Examination 188th!! ....”

Chunhua and the others were instantly deflated when they heard this, and they thought it was the eldest son......

"Brother, what about the people of Tanzhou, do you know Kansai Copper?" They are all candidates from Tanzhou, they should have seen it, and the people from all over the world gathered in the test, and the villagers will always be more cordial when they see the villagers.

When they arrive in such an unfamiliar environment as the capital, some of the candidates will organize a hometown association.

Qiao Song nodded: "I've met a few times." ”

Qiao Xi understood what he meant: I didn't have a deep relationship, but I had an intersection.

"Your Excellency is from Tanzhou?" At this time, the middle-aged candidate next door suddenly asked.

Qiao Song smiled and nodded: "Yes, I have seen this brother, and he is indeed from Tanzhou." ”

The middle-aged man nodded disapprerovingly, although the place in Tanzhou is good, it is not as good as him, a native of the capital.

"Dare to ask your Excellency's surname?" The man smiled. "Don't have your surname Qiao." "Joe...."The man nodded, there are so many candidates, there are naturally many people with the surname Joe, and when he was about to ask Qiao Song's name again, the good news came again. "He, the 135th place in the examination of the old man Shaisha in Taiyuan Prefecture, Zhongyuan Province! ....”

"The one hundred and thirty-fifth...."Chunhua was even more nervous. After talking for a while, almost half of the list was reported.

The middle-aged man next door and his family no longer care about Qiao Song, his family knows his own affairs, and with his knowledge, he has extremely slim hope of squeezing into a hundred, if there is still no him in the future, then this time the meeting will probably fall into the sand again, and he will start again, and he doesn't know when it will be a head.

The middle-aged man's skin became tighter and tighter, and his hands trembled even more, and he couldn't help but walk out of the courtyard gate and walk around the alley. Naturally, his family was also very nervous, walking back and forth after him.

Qiao Xi watched them walk and walk, the scope of their movement had expanded to the gate of his courtyard, worried that their tense atmosphere would affect the eldest brother, gently pulled the eldest brother's sleeve, and whispered: "Big brother, don't be nervous, if you can't pass the test, you can't pass the test, it's a big deal to fight again next year, anyway, you are still young, let's not worry." ”

Qiao Song replied with a smile: "Don't worry, big brother is not nervous." ”

"Big brother must be able to." Qiao Bai also jumped out and said something at this time. Anyway, he believed in his eldest brother from beginning to end.

"Okay, I'll lend you good words."

"No, big brother is okay."

"It's sweet in your mouth."

"Sister, you said you wouldn't pinch my face." Qiao Bai pouted.

"Haha, I'm sorry, my sister forgot."

Being interrupted like this, the tense atmosphere became lighter.

Congratulations ......"

"Congratulations ....."

"Congratulations ......"

Every once in a while, the sound of good news came from the mouth of the alley, and as the ranking became higher and higher, the battle of the good news became bigger and bigger.

But always, there is no name of Qiao Song.

As for the candidate next door, he is now walking around the alley impatiently, with a bitter look on his face, and naturally he has not reported for duty.

Looking at his appearance, Qiao Xi was worried that he would pout in the next second.

Listening to this kind of annunciation, it is really a huge torture for the body and mind, when the sixtieth place has not heard his name, the brother next door finally couldn't bear it, and sat on the ground: "It's over, it's over, it's over again, I have been studying hard for 20 years, and this time I didn't pass the exam, God, how unfair you are.... How unfair......" He broke down, sat on the ground and wept in disregard of his image.

"Dad, Dad, you haven't finished reporting yet, didn't you say that you did well in the exam this time, maybe your ranking is still ahead...... To the fore. ”

"Yes, sir, there are many times before I haven't reported it, wait, wait, wait......"

At this time, the middle-aged man couldn't listen to it at all, only immersed in his own thoughts, and muttered to himself, "I can't get in, I can't get in,"

"He, Shen Mingwei in the capital Shen Mingwei Shen Old Man High School will be ranked fifty-ninth in the exam! He, Shen Mingwei Shen in the capital will be the fifty-ninth in the high school exam! Congratulations ......"

The man's cry stopped abruptly, and his face was resentful: "Not only in the same city, but also with the same name, why can he win such a good ranking, the sky is unfair!" Heaven is unfair! "Dad, don't do this yet, maybe this is you!" His son helped him up, and An patiently persuaded him excitedly.

"No, it's impossible, although I think I answered well this time, but if I enter a hundred, it's still fifty-nine, how is it possible... How could it be...... "This kind of thing is something he can't think of, for him, he already has to worship his ancestors in high school."

The sound of the annunciation is getting closer and closer to the entrance of the alley.

The family next door seemed to have forgotten to breathe now, staring at the alley without blinking.

"He, Shen Mingwei in the capital Shen Mingwei Shen Old Man High School will be ranked fifty-ninth in the exam! ....." officials held signs and beat gongs and drums at the entrance of the alley.

"Daddy, daddy, it's you, it's you, you're hit!" His son looked at the official who appeared at the entrance of the alley, and almost jumped up and shouted.

The official entered the alley and walked towards this side.

The middle-aged man's pupils dilated, and his lips trembled in disbelief: "I...... I ...... Hit? Still...... Or the ...... Fifty-ninth? ”

"Ahhhh The people of the family cheered in unison.

The official errand got closer and closer, and shouted the good news all the way, and stopped at the next door: "But Shen Mingwei and Master Shen from Huamen Street in Beijing?" ”

"Yes, yes, Master Shen is my father, and we are the Shen Mansion here!"

Now it's decided! This middle-aged man really won fifty or seventy-nine!

The official messenger reported the good news, the voice was loud, the momentum was huge, and the people nearby opened the door and walked out, congratulating one after another: "Master Shen, congratulations to high school, congratulations to high school, congratulations, you are so talented, you know that this time you will definitely be in high school!" ”

There will be no shortage of afterthought and sycophants, and the family next door was crazy with joy, and after giving the official money, they took out the copper plates prepared in advance to spread the money to the neighbors.

Seeing that everyone was taking the happy money, the middle-aged man laughed out loud: "I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, God, you're too fair!" Hahaha....."

Qiao Xi burst out laughing, the middle-aged man had been chattering before, but he didn't expect that after reacting, he actually said such a remark, which was really funny.
