The days of waiting for the list were very unbearable, and Xu Chang also sent a letter, and as soon as the letterhead arrived, the uncle of the Xu family also arrived with a large group of people.

Although a large family is suspected of eating and drinking, but everyone is justified, Xu Qianxiang test, the relationship between the honor and disgrace of the clan, and now Xu Chang is not here, as an elder and a fellow clan, he should naturally come here to accompany him to watch the list.

Xu Qian has now become a secondary figure, greeting this and serving that at home every day, and he can't get out of his body.

In fact, he is quite sure of entering the list, the question is whether he can win a Xie Yuan this time, there are as many people as dogs, it is really not unusual, in the future, there will be no Xie Yuan on you, you are embarrassed to go out.

Xu Qian is also a little sure of this Xie Yuan, he deliberately made a 'Yan Kukong Zhizhuo', just to gamble, after all, just by virtue of the relationship with Zhao Tixue, people are unwilling to directly point you to Xie Yuan, besides, the township test is not as good as the small test, and the examiner of the small test can be a word, but in an exam like the township test, Zhao Tixue cannot ignore the opinions of other examiners.

Not to mention, there are at least three or four people who are at the same level as Xu Qian in Hangzhou, and if they want to stand out, how can they do it if they don't play a little trick?

It can be said that this is a trap carefully created by Xu Qian, he is confident that the phrase 'Yan Kukong Zhizhuo' comes from ancient books such as Yangzi Fayan, and the examiners may not be able to see the strangeness, and although Zhao Tixue may not be willing to do his best for him, he will never give up on him lightly, the biggest possibility is that Zhao Tixue summoned Xu Qian to conduct an 'interview' in front of the examiners.

This gives Xu Qian room to play, others are just exams, but Xu Qian has one more interview, if Xu Qian does not play well, there may be a danger of falling into Sun Shan, but if he plays well. Although Mingli did not add points, he could add a lot of color to Xu Qian.

After going to the Tribute Academy this time, Xu Qian believed that he should not have a big problem, but before the list was released, Xu Qian still didn't dare to believe it.

Fortunately, he has a lot of things to do, Deng Jian is going to sea, at this time Xu Qian has to take Xu Chang's uncle's son Xu Chen, Xu Chen was cheated by Xu Qian a few times, and he was beaten by his father. I hated Xu Qian to the core, but when I heard that I went to see the big boat, the child's mood flared up, and it didn't seem to matter what kind of national hatred and family hatred it was, so he followed Xu Qian up and down.

The prince also sent people. Riding in the carriage all the way to the dock by the sea, Xu Qian got off the car and saw the huge ship by the sea from a distance, this kind of ship may not be inconspicuous for the ships of later generations, but it is very remarkable in this era, although the sails of the three masts were not raised, standing on the shore to watch. But it also brings out the insignificance of people.

Deng Jian was wearing a military attache uniform from nowhere, Xu Qian guessed in his heart that most of this official uniform was just a non-mainstream Jiupin, but this guy was burly. It was a bit impressive to wear this outfit, and at this time he was on his toes, directing the sailors to board the ship and move the goods.

Seeing Xu Qian coming, Deng Jian's eyes lit up. Hurriedly greeted him and said excitedly: "What." Do Brother Xu think these ships are majestic? It's 30 ships in total, and I've heard that this is enough to make a name for itself overseas. ”

Xu Qian touched Xu Chen's head, although he didn't feel amazed, but at this time, he still made a look like a countryman had never seen the world, and exclaimed: "I and my little friends are shocked!" ”

When Deng Jian heard this, his face turned pale, his eyes fell on Xu Chen's body, and he smiled and said, "Boy, why didn't you get beaten today?" ”

Xu Chen burst into tears and shouted at Xu Qian: "Cousin, you said you wanted to buy me a sugar gourd!" ”

Xu Qian directly patted him on the head and scolded: "Eat you big-headed ghost, think about eating all day long, can you grow?" Shut up. ”

After talking a lot to Deng Jian, he naturally had to put on an old-fashioned posture and ask a few words, Deng Jian was a little impatient at this time, and said: "Yes, yes, I know everything." ”

The auspicious time has arrived, several cannons sounded, the sailors began to shout, the sails rose, Deng Jian had to reluctantly walk up the trestle, when he turned around, he saw Xu Qian beckoning to him, Deng Jian sighed, his eyes were a little blurry, his throat choked, he hurriedly turned around, afraid to see Xu Qian see through his current appearance, step by step on the ship.

In the sound of the cannonball, the big ship lifted anchor, gradually left the trestle, and sailed into the depths of the blue sea and blue sky.

Xu Chen, who was held by Xu Qian, suddenly shouted: "Cousin, you're crying!" ”

Xu Qian slapped him on the back of the head and scolded: "Cry your head, dare to talk nonsense again, I cleaned you up today." ”

Xu Chen immediately burst into tears and said, "I told my father that you always beat me. ”

Xu Qian sneered at him: "Go and say, you go and say, I am just going to discuss with my uncle about your study later." ”

Xu Chen was so frightened that he hurriedly said, "I won't cry anymore, and I won't tell my father." ”

Xu Qian was satisfied, and said: "Count your acquaintance, don't blame your cousin for bullying you, your cousin is just teaching you the truth of being a man, for example, your cousin beats you, this is to tell you that you will be beaten if you fall behind, just buy a rock sugar gourd." ”

Xu Chen suddenly jumped up and down, and shouted: "Cousin invited me to eat sugar gourd, I want twenty strings of ......"

Xu Qian inadvertently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and muttered in a low voice: "There is so much sand on the seaside!" ”

took Xu Chen back home, but Uncle Xu was preparing people for a cannon battle, his old man even prepared happy money, specially prepared a few dustpans, and exchanged them for a lot of copper coins, and filled the dustpan to the brim, as for the red paper, incense candles and other things have already been in place, Xu Qian saw it, and couldn't help but say: "Uncle, if you don't win at that time, won't you waste so many things in vain?" ”

Uncle Xu glared at him: "You crow's mouth, don't be open-mouthed, there's nothing to do with you here, stay aside." ”

Xu Qian couldn't help but slander in his heart, and couldn't help thinking: "I'm the protagonist, how can it be as if this township test has nothing to do with me." He didn't dare to contradict it, so he obediently hid to the side.

Uncle Xu pulled Xu Shen, who had just returned from Suzhou, over there and ordered, "Didn't you say that the list will be released today?" You go to the Gongyuan to wait, as soon as there is news, come back immediately to report the good news, yes, you have to hire a car to go, one to save time, and the other is to have some face, if it is hit, then we are the home of the gentry, but this face can not be lost. ”、

Xu Shen hurriedly responded, and he didn't care about anything else, so he left quickly, and then Xu Chen grabbed a handful of sugar gourds and blocked Xu Shen and said, "Dad, I have sugar gourds to eat." ”

Xu Shen slapped him in the face and scolded, "Go aside, don't get in the way." ”

………………………………

The news of today's release of the list has actually come a long time ago.

Just sent Deng Jian away, Xu Qian was a little sullen, he locked himself in the room in a daze, thinking of the danger at sea, at this time he actually doubted himself, he knew that the sea was dangerous, but he still recommended Deng Jian to go, if there was really something wrong on the way......

Before, he didn't think of this at all, but today, this kind of thought came to his heart, and it made him shudder. He couldn't wait for himself to rush out immediately and pull the kid surnamed Deng back.

It's just that impulsiveness is impulsive, but he keeps saying to himself: "It's okay, this guy has a great fortune, and everyone surnamed Shang dares to run away, why can't he succeed with the surname Deng?" As long as he can come back safely, this is a great achievement, and others can no longer ignore him. ”

Xu Qian struggled for a long time in his heart, and he was always at a loss. At this time, the Gongyuan side has already been crowded, the news has been released, the township test list will be released at noon, Zhejiang is the place where the literary style is at its peak, and it is the most concerned about reading, not to mention this time Enke.

In this regard, after Xu Shen came, he found that it was too late, a nearby street was crowded with people, he was fat, he couldn't squeeze in, and shouted to concede, but people didn't mean to let at all, and wanted to quit, but found that many people had surrounded him at some point, so he couldn't advance or retreat, which made him a little breathless.

There are noisy voices in the ears, some people speculate who Xie Yuan of Zhejiang is this year, and some people say who is gossiping, Xu Shen heard someone not far away talking about it, and said: "I heard that the talented Xu Qian has gone to the Gongyuan two days ago, but I am afraid that this time, he will not think about it." ”

Someone asked, "Why is that?" ”

The man said triumphantly, "Don't you even know this? But all the students who did not pass the exam had to go to the Gongyuan, this is called taking responsibility, and they had to let the examiners teach a lesson, but this Xu Qian went too early, isn't this guy an examiner? ”

Xu Shen was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "Who is talking nonsense, who is talking nonsense!" At this time, people are most afraid of committing taboos, and before the list is released, these people are already crow's mouths, no wonder Xu Shen is angry, but his voice is quickly drowned in the crowd, and people may not be able to hear it.

At this moment, the crowd suddenly surged, and someone shouted: "Let go, let go, look, see whose house is ......"

Xu Shen suddenly became excited, and tried his best to squeeze forward, but unfortunately there were too many people who had the same idea as him, and people couldn't move at all.

At this time, someone shouted: "Zhang Gongzi of the Zhang family is high school, ranked fourth, hurry, go and report the good news." ”

Then I heard someone shouting: "Yang Gongzi also hit, ranked second, the Yang family has a child now, and the old man has ...... again."

Xu Shen listened with his ears pricked up, but he never heard his nephew's name, and he couldn't help but feel a sudden suddenness in his heart, and couldn't help thinking: "It's not that you stumble in front of the horse, the ancestors bless you." ”
