Chapter Eighty-Nine: Discernment
This time, Mingmo came quickly, he only needed to look at the exam rankings of the other three people, and Gu Chengyu had already occupied the top of the case.
"Childe! You're the head of the case again! Mingmo was originally squeezing around inside, so he was angry, and he was screaming loudly at this time, the smile on his face was so big, how the other candidates looked at it was an eyesore, it was simply poking their hearts.
"Mingmo, what about us? Is it over? He Shunian doesn't care what the case is or not, he only cares about whether he has passed or not.
"I didn't see He Gongzi's name, Ye Gongzi is in the tenth place, and Sun Gongzi is in the thirty-fourth place." Mingmo said the rankings of the others, and also restrained his smile and stood behind Gu Chengyu.
"Am I over? I thought I wouldn't be able to pass this time! "Sun Xian is really very happy, he doesn't have to wait three years to come again, although he is ranked lower, he is also a showman, so marrying Gu Wan will give him confidence.
The Gu family has a strong foundation, and the brother-in-law is a showman, and he may be admitted to the lifting of people in three years. His family was already poor, and if he didn't work harder, he would be too much worse, and his face would be gloomy.
He Shunian listened to Mingmo's words and sat down on the ground. Sure enough, of the four, he was the only one. Gu Chengyu didn't know how to comfort him, it was not appropriate for him to step forward and say anything at this time, otherwise it would be considered a show-off.
Ye Zhiqiu didn't expect to be able to run to the tenth place this time, he couldn't help but be glad that he always borrowed Gu Chengyu's books to read. That trial poem, it was after reading Gu Chengyu's book that he knew the source, otherwise he would definitely have to digress.
It's good to be able to get the tenth place, at least it's still a gift, and in the future, with a tael of silver every month, the burden on the mother and sister can be lighter. When he came this time, he was still cheeky to borrow money from the clan, and it was not easy in the clan, if he couldn't pass the Xiucai exam, he didn't know if he would have a chance to take the exam again.
"I'm still on the list this time?" One of the candidates said in ecstasy, he has taken the exam four times, this time he can't take the exam again, and his family will not provide for it again, who would have thought that this time he would be admitted to Xiucai, he looked up to the sky and roared, and actually shed tears.
Gu Chengyu and the others already knew the ranking, so they planned to meet the inn first. At this time, two candidates came over, these two also went to school in Wenfuzi's private school, but they had taken the college exam before and failed, and this time they came to the exam again. Because Gu Chengyu and they were exactly five people, they didn't join the insurance with them.
"I've seen two senior brothers!" Gu Chengyu, they and the two saluted each other.
These two people came over, just to come over to say hello, after all, they are not familiar with each other, they are no longer studying in Wen Fuzi's private school, and they didn't go with Gu Chengyu and them when they came to the exam this time, and they didn't live in an inn.
"Presumably the juniors and disciples have passed? Senior brother is here to congratulate the junior brothers, and speaking of which, the senior brother is also ashamed that he didn't even have the second time, and he is really sorry for the master's teaching. The two of them were also lonely when they talked about this, and this was the second time they came to the examination institute to take the test.
It's also their bad luck, who knows that there are two arithmetic questions in this exam, and there is one test post poem that may not be written in the eyes of adults.
"Alas! Time also, life also! The two senior brothers sighed with emotion, they have to come back in three years, and they don't know when they can be admitted to Xiucai.
Gu Chengyu comforted the two of them, and He Shunian also smiled bitterly and said that he hadn't taken the exam either, so everyone made an appointment to have a dinner later. However, tonight, Gu Chengyu and the others have to attend the banquet held by Governor Jiang's mansion, so they have to go back tomorrow.
This is a common practice, after each hospital test, Jiang Zhifu will hold a banquet to invite new talents.
"Then I'll go back with the two senior brothers tomorrow!" Sun Xian and they want to stay here for another day, he is not comfortable staying here, and besides, the room price of the inn is not cheap, 800 wen a night! Although he lived with Ye Zhiqiu, it was 400 wen a night, which was a lot.
"That's a good relationship, and there are many companions on the road." Of course, the two of them were willing, and when they went back, they called for an ox cart, and the three of them were evenly divided, which was much less than the original.
"I'll ask Mingmo to send you back today!" He came in a carriage, they had to go first, Gu Chengyu couldn't help but say that he didn't have to be said that he was stingy, in fact, he was very generous to his friends and family.
What's more, he is also looking at He Shunian's face, although He Shunian is also a little cautious, but this caution is normal, plus he doesn't know how to speak in twists and turns, it should still be worth dating!
"That's really grateful to Senior Brother Gu, let's set off as soon as we have dinner today, this time Senior Brother is stained with your light!" This senior brother also knew that Gu Chengyu's family was wealthy, and it was not strange to come in a carriage, and it was not surprising that he could get in the carriage and go back, which was not only fast, but also saved a lot of money.
He Shunian originally wanted to refuse, he knew that Mingmo was helping Gu Chengyu do things, and he was very busy! Besides, he didn't want to take too much advantage, Gu Chengyu had taken good care of them in the past few days.
Who would have thought that these two people agreed before he could refuse. He Shunian had no choice but to smile apologetically at Gu Chengyu, he knew that Gu Chengyu had asked Mingmo to send it for the sake of his face.
Gu Chengyu didn't have any ideas in his heart, he just felt that these two people loved to take advantage of them! In ancient times, the imperial examination was not easy, and the reading examination cost a lot, so it is understandable to save some, after all, they are all ordinary Zhuang families.
While they were chatting here, the candidates over there were all rushing to the other side, where exam papers were being posted.
"Look, the test paper at the head of the case has been posted, let's go and see why it didn't make the list!" Since it is the head of the case, the answer must be right, and some candidates who have failed the list want to see why they are not on the list.
Only then did Gu Chengyu and the others discover the riot in the crowd, "It turned out that the exam papers were posted, let's go!" Let's also read Senior Brother Gu's masterpiece! "These two senior brothers also want to go forward and join in the fun.
Sun Xian and the others also wanted to go and see, Gu Chengyu was pulled by them and was ready to go together. But he broke free, what happened when he went to see his exam papers? So it was decided to wait for them under the tree.
"Huh? No wonder! It turns out that I miscalculated the arithmetic, and I don't know how to calculate this answer? Several candidates beat their chests and shouted, these two questions are all wrong, so naturally they can't be on the list.
"Do you think it's just a miscount? What's more, it turns out that Lao Tzu was wrong to even try the poem, you see! It is written to break the title and inherit the title, this poem I thought it was written by moonlight, so I look at it, I don't know where to deviate from the topic! "This candidate looks at it like this, it turns out that he is not wronged to be unjust!
"I still don't read much!" When other candidates saw it, they also sighed, it was really a sigh to themselves!
"This poem is really well done! Looks like it's going to be written down in poetry again! This time, Senior Brother Gu is really famous! ”
"We are really ashamed, Senior Brother Gu's talent is really admired by us! The saint is really discerning! This candidate slapped the saint's ass without a trace, just like Gu Chengyu's poem "Huiming twenty-eight years".
