Chapter 40: The Fainting Candidate
Others also felt a little regretful when they saw that Gu Chengyu was not the first, and at the same time they were thinking in their hearts, it seems that Gu Chengyu is not invincible, how many talents are there in this world? Gu Chengyu is not so unattainable in their hearts.
"What about me?" Gu Wanhua didn't have time to sigh about Gu Chengyu's ranking, he just wanted to know if he had passed it.
"Young Master Hua has passed, in the four hundred and thirty-eighth place." Mingmo wiped a handful of sweat and reported everyone's rankings, there were too many seat numbers on the list, and he finally found everyone's seat numbers, and the seat numbers written in his hands were almost wet with sweat. There are too many people, but the good news is that everyone has passed!
"Huh? Did I really get by? It's quite high! That's great! Gu Wanhua almost shouted happily.
The others were relieved to know that they had passed. Among the others, Ye Zhiqiu was the highest, but that was also thirty-eight!
But at this moment, the crowd suddenly became chaotic. There seems to be a circle in the middle, and the people outside the circle spread outward.
Some candidates shouted inside: "Everyone, let go!" He fainted! ”
Originally, Gu Chengyu and they didn't pay attention, they were wailing and cheering when they looked at the list, and the candidates were used to it, and they didn't know what was going on at this time!
He Shunian was curious, and hurriedly stepped forward to inquire!
"Senior brother, what's going on inside?" He Shunian pulled a candidate who ran out of the crowd and asked.
"You don't know! Inside was a fifty or sixty-year-old candidate, who was older, and he was standing next to me just now, as if there was no seat number for him in this case, he searched for it many times, but he couldn't find his seat number, and he pulled me to help him find it! Alas! Isn't this another drop-off? The general is in the past, and I don't know if there are any candidates who come together, so it's good to send people to the hospital! ”
The candidate sighed and shook his head. However, Gu Chengyu could hear from his tone that he had passed himself. The candidate who fainted may have been caused by qi congestion and blood stagnation after getting angry, and the common qi dizziness!
Gu Chengyu squeezed through the crowd and saw that the candidate was still on the ground, already unconscious at this time, and there was no one next to him to help! I don't think I know it.
"Don't surround him, let go! Senior Brother Sun! Go and call the messenger and take the man to the hospital! ”
"Hey! I'll call! Sun Xian immediately went out to find the officials.
Gu Chengyu stepped forward and grabbed the candidate's middle for a while, and saw that the candidate woke up slowly. He was a little dazed at this moment, and he didn't remember what had just happened.
"Are you alright?" Gu Chengyu saw that the person woke up, so he asked the candidate next to him to carry him to the side under the tree and lie down!
When the errand servant came, Gu Chengyu and the others were already on the way back to the inn.
Everyone was a little silent, they knew that the scientific examination was difficult, and now it was the government exam, and there would be so many exams after that, maybe any of them would be brushed down! I'm afraid that like this candidate, I have children and grandchildren, and I have to go to the examination room.
"What's wrong? It's over, you should be happy, go back and read a good book, and prepare for the next one! Gu Chengyu saw that everyone was not interested, so he encouraged him.
"Uncle! Do you think we're still taking the exam at this age? I'm in danger every time, and I'm afraid of ......."
Gu Wanhua felt a little confused at the moment, if he couldn't pass the exam this time, he would have to start all over again, and it would have to be three years later, once every three years, how many three years could he have, even if he was lucky enough to get into the Jinshi in the future, would he still be an official? You're old, aren't you?
"If you don't try, how do you know you can't get by? If it doesn't work once, then do it again, you're still young, what are you afraid of? If you are frustrated, even if you can't get a name for yourself, go out to be a shopkeeper or bookkeeper like your father, it's better than digging in the ground, right? Don't think too much about it, just do your best! ”
Gu Chengyu knew that Gu Wanhua had always had no confidence in himself, but didn't he pass every exam?
"Yes! Wanhua! Don't worry about it, try your best to take the test! Sun Xian patted Gu Wanhua's shoulder and comforted.
Ye Zhiqiu and He Shunian were also busy stepping forward to comfort, in fact, they were a little confused in their hearts, but if they think about it carefully, they are still young, so they don't necessarily have to be admitted to the year of knowing their fate, right?
When Gu Chengyu and the others returned to the inn, they saw the bull shopkeeper standing in front of the counter with a red face.
"Ouch! Ladies and gentlemen, are you going to see the list? But it's all over? ”
"The blessing of the shopkeeper has indeed passed!" He Shunian replied with a smile.
"Look at the shopkeeper's radiant face, but what is the joy?" Gu Chengyu guessed that it was the cattle shopkeeper who got some benefits in the mansion!
"Speaking of which, thanks to a few sons, the gang of thieves caught today is not simple! It turned out that it was a gang of thieves, who had been wandering around Fengding Mansion before, and only came to our Jingyuan Mansion during this time, but he was caught by Gu Gongzi as soon as he started. This is only six of them, and there are still people who didn't come to Fengding Mansion, anyway, the prefect said that this time he made a great contribution! ”
The shopkeeper Niu explained to everyone, and during the period, he glanced at Gu Chengyu, and then smiled unnaturally.
Gu Chengyu smiled, he didn't care about these things, when he caught these people, he had already said that he didn't want to get involved in this matter. The most important thing is that he thinks it's better to keep a distance from Governor Jiang!
"Really? We all slept dead in the morning, and we didn't know about it! "Sun Xian, they heard Mingmo say it later, but they couldn't imagine the scene at that time!
The shopkeeper reminded everyone a few words, which is nothing more than taking care of their own belongings.
"Gu Gongzi can be idle now? I don't know if I can take a step to speak! The shopkeeper Niu smiled a little embarrassed, and always felt that Gu Chengyu's eyes were full of meaning when he looked at him.
Gu Chengyu asked the others to go up first, and the shopkeeper Niu invited Gu Chengyu to sit down at a square table.
"Gu Gongzi also knows that although the person was sent by me, but when he entered the mansion, the prefect would inevitably ask how to catch the thief, and I had to tell the truth. I'm not the one to take the credit, but I have a reluctant request right now. ”
The shopkeeper picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Gu Chengyu, handed it to Gu Chengyu, and looked at Gu Chengyu flatteringly.
"If the shopkeeper has something, you might as well say it directly, if you can help in the future, then you are naturally willing to reach out to help!" Gu Chengyu picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, this is just ordinary big-leaf green tea, it seems that the inn of the cattle shopkeeper does not earn much silver.
"That's right! I want to count me when I ask my son to receive merit, of course, I don't want a penny of silver, I just want to be greedy. Childe also saw that the people who lived in my inn were ordinary people, and few nobles could take a fancy to my small inn, and I didn't earn much on weekdays, so I wanted to get some fame, maybe it could make my inn business better! "The shopkeeper also wants everyone to know that he is very responsible, and it is guaranteed to live in his inn!
"Alas! I'm also sick and rushed to the doctor, I don't know if it will be useful, everyone knows that my inn is a thief, the original business is a little light, and it can get by on weekdays, but there are a few people who come to check out this morning! ”
Gu Chengyu looked at the thin highland man in front of him, the cattle shopkeeper was around forty, kind, and very good at doing business, so he was a little condescending!
"Cow shopkeeper! Did you buy or rent this inn? Gu Chengyu was not in a hurry to return to the question of the shopkeeper.
