The list of the county examination is posted in front of the county office.

When the carriage of the British government came to the county office, there were already many people around.

The list of the county examination is written on red paper, and when it comes to the palace examination, yellow paper is used instead, which is the so-called gold list.

There is a row of ranking words written on the red list, the first word is the largest, the lower the ranking, the smaller the word, and the names of the people after the three hundred can't be seen clearly if they don't get to the front of the list.

There are many candidates with gray beards, lying under the list with tears in their eyes, counting name by name.

These are all candidates who have not received the post, and their hearts have come to the bottom of the list to find their names, and all their hopes are pinned on the last list.

There are those who cry with joy when they find the name, and there are those who beat their chests and cry on the spot when they don't find the name.

It looks chilling.

Zhu Rong sat in the carriage, looking at the chaos under the red list not far away, with mixed feelings.

"I see your name," Zhu Luan, who was sitting next to him, suddenly spoke, pointing out of the carriage, "The words are quite big." ”

Zhu Rong looked in the direction she was pointing and saw that his name appeared on the third red list, and it was indeed as written on the newspaper sent by the messenger, ranking seventy-third.

"I'm going to go to Tianquan Academy and thank Mr. Wangxi," Zhu Luan said on the side.

Zhu Rong didn't dare to look at her, just nodded heavily.

After the simplification of the Great Zhou National Examination, the children's examination before the county examination was abolished, but instead it was necessary to join a well-known academy limited by the official limit to participate in the county examination.

It is equivalent to the examination of the academy replacing the position of the children's examination.

Zhu Rong was in a hurry to prepare, and he had no previous experience in studying, so it was difficult for him to join the academy at that point in time, but it was Zhu Luan who took him to Biquan Mountain, where Tianquan Academy was located, and he passed the entrance examination of Tianquan Academy, and finally worshiped under Mr. Wangxi.

Although Mr. Wangxi did not teach him, he was able to participate in the county examination, and Mr. Wangxi contributed a lot, and this time he passed the county examination in one fell swoop, and he really wants to thank his teacher.

"Then wait, we'll go to Biquan Mountain when we go back," Zhu Luan said with a smile.

Zhu Rong looked at Zhu Luan with a calm expression in front of him with a heavy heart, not knowing what to say.

He was tempted to ask, what about you?

Putting his affairs aside for the time being, what does she think of the results of this county exam?

After the messenger said that she might be on the list, she was silent for a while, then raised her head and told him that she was going to look at the list of the county government, and then he said okay, he went with her.

Throughout the process, the girl's voice was calm and soft throughout.

He didn't even know how to say so.

Compared with Mr. Wangxi, he knew that in fact, the person he should be more grateful to was her.

Without her, nothing would have started, much less possible.

But unfortunately, she was not in the top list of the county exam. Even if she won the top spot in the county exam, Zhu Rong would not be surprised, because he felt that it was nothing to her, but he didn't expect that her name would not be in the top 400.

However, he himself has confirmed that he has passed the county exam, and no matter what he says at this time, it seems extremely hypocritical.

It was obviously the day when his wish was fulfilled, but Zhu Rong's heart was full of bitterness.

The carriage stopped, Zhu Luan stepped out of the carriage, and Zhu Rong followed.

The two walked towards the red list, and many of the people under the list were already able to recognize her, and as Zhu Luan approached, the crowd looked at her with a little unkindness, with contempt, mockery and ridicule.

Zhu Luan walked all the way to the bottom of the list under the ridicule of people, but unexpectedly saw an acquaintance under the list.

"Senior brother, you're here."

Yu Sinian stood under the list with his hands down, looking up at the red list motionlessly.

Hearing Zhu Luan's voice, the young man turned his head and bowed slightly to her, and then he saw Zhu Rong behind Zhu Luan and arched his hand to him, "Congratulations, you won seventy-three." ”

Zhu Rong returned the salute, "Thank you, senior brother." As soon as he said that, he looked eagerly at the red list, which showed the anxiety in his heart.

This is indeed a matter of urgency.

Yu Sinian's gaze moved away from Zhu Rong's body and moved to the girl beside him.

She still looked as usual, and her eyes fell on the name at the top of the red list.

"The head of the case is him," Zhu Luan said with a smile.

Yu Sinian followed her gaze, and also fell on the name at the top that I don't know how many times I had seen it.

At the top of the red list, those four words are written in Douda's black letters-Situ Gaoyi.

The head of the county trial case, Situ Gaoyi.

No one has any objections to this result, no one feels unfair, and many people even look up to the name with reverence in their eyes.

Yu Si Nian thought the same way, until this woman appeared.

After reading the name of the head of the case, Zhu Luan looked at the red list at the end, with dense small characters written on it.

It is the so-called last list.

Yu Sinian looked at her from the sidelines, looking at the woman who went to the last page after reading the first place.

There are so many names in the middle, even those candidates who have not received the post, they will still have luck and hope, and read them one by one from the first one, hoping that if the official makes a mistake, their names may appear in the top position.

In Yu Sinian's eyes, she is the most qualified person to think that this result may be wrong.

But she just went to the last page to see the results, not guessing, not trying, not fluke, not tactful.

No matter what the result, she dares to look at it like this, and continue like this.

But even if he looked directly at the last page, because the words on it were too small, watching the woman squint her eyes and search down word by word, Yu Sinian was a little unbearable, and said, "Four hundred and seventy-seven." ”

Zhu Luan was stunned, then looked down at the number Yu Sinian said, and finally found Zhu Ying's name at the end of the last line.

477th, Zhu Ying.

In this county examination, only 477 candidates were admitted.

Zhu Luan exhaled, she breathed a sigh of relief, when she heard the words of the informant, she already understood that the first and second lists of this county exam could no longer have their own place.

Judging from your own situation, if someone has to do it thoroughly, then he is likely to fall off the list.

The results are now much stronger than the worst that was expected.

But then she stood at the bottom of the list, looking at the ranking of four hundred and seventy-seven, and was still silent for a long time.

Behind Zhu Ying's name, there is no one.

There were more and more eyes mixed with contempt and ridicule around her, if it weren't for Yu Sinian standing beside her expressionlessly, exuding an aura that no one could approach, there would probably have been a lot of ugly words at this time.

"I don't understand." Zhu Luan maintained his previous posture and said expressionlessly.

Yu Sinian didn't understand either. Whether it was rumors or his own personal experience, he believed that this woman was not a thing in the pool.

And she herself said that if she wants to become a national scholar, then according to her level, even if she is not at the top in the county examination, at least it should be more than enough to be on the first list.

Who would have thought that it would be the penultimate result.

Yu Sinian looked at the girl beside him with a complicated expression.

Zhu Luan suddenly turned his head to look at Yu Sinian and said softly, "I want to check the papers." ”

I want to talk about "Yingluan" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
