In the fourth year of Yongchu, the spring equinox.

The apricot list was announced, and there was a sea of people in front of the Gongyuan.

There are not only candidates for this examination, but also many dignitaries.

Without exception, they stared at the two large walls outside the Nagong Courtyard, where the apricot blossoms extended to the left hand side of the wall.

But at this moment, the gate of the Gongyuan is closed, and it seems that the hour has not yet come.

At this time, the crowd began to talk about it.

"I guess it's no drama this time!"

"Yes, those sons of the family in the academy, as well as the children of the official family of the country's eunuchs, they were born different from us, where can we compare!"

"For example, the son of Master Cui happened to participate in the examination this time."

"And Wang Yuan of Jiyun Academy."

"Hey, anyway, isn't it all the children of the family and the official family who fight each other every year, we are just making up a number!"

"Even the Hanging Sword Division, who has never interfered in the imperial examination, came to invigilate the examination this time, ostensibly to prevent and demonic people from getting involved, but in fact, I don't know what bribes were received!"

"Hey, there's no hope for me to wait for the children of the poor family, these damn eunuchs ......"

"Shh......h It's all here, let's see if it's ......."

Now.

Why wasn't Cao Wei standing in the crowd in such a mood?

There is no official to do!

In terms of learning environment, they are very different from those children of the family.

Originally, the starting point was not as good as others, but now there is a eunuch black-box operation!

Even if the ability of civilians is enough, they can't play with others when they play background!

And in the previous apricot lists, the children of the poor family are rare!

At most, there are only a few at the end, and there is basically no change in such a ranking when entering the palace examination.

is also a Jinshi at the end of the top three!

Moreover, the number of civilian candidates who went to Beijing this time was more than a little less than in previous years.

I think it should have a lot to do with the recent demon troubles!

Those children of the family, when they go to Beijing to take the exam, they naturally don't have to rush as hard as they do, and they are accompanied by masters, even if they encounter demons, they have the means to protect themselves.

As for the students of Guozijian, they don't have to move!

Doorstep exams!

It's hard to know that even the examiners are their father's old acquaintances!

It hurts, it hurts!

"Brother Wei, the door is open!"

Hearing this, Cao Wei looked ahead.

At this moment, all the students also focused on the several officials of the Ministry of Rites who came out.

But then.

Several demon slayers, who were holding embroidered spring knives, also walked out.

It's obvious.

Nine thousand years old meddled in this imperial examination, maybe it was the lackeys of the eunuch party who reviewed the answer sheets this time!

Thinking of this, candidates everywhere are nervous!

What son of a family, what son of an official family?

Even Master Cui was equally afraid of this nine-thousand-year-old who had no children!

The eunuch has no son, unscrupulous!

Hold the list.

The official of the Ministry of Rites shouted, "Students, be silent. ”

Peaceful, absolutely quiet.

Even the sound of the spring breeze could be heard, and suddenly all the noisy sounds disappeared, and everyone just looked at the official of the Ministry of Rites quietly.

As an official of the singing list, he has seen this kind of scene a lot, but this time it was so quiet that he was a little unaccustomed to it.

In the end, he is still a 9,000-year-old person!

He cleared his throat, looked at the list in his hand, and read:

"Southern Yunnan, Huang Du reads."

As soon as the words fell.

The official took up the pen and wrote Huang Duyu's place of origin and name at the bottom of the list.

"Oh my God, I ...... I actually hit it! ”

Finally, the first voice came from the still-quiet crowd.

Coincidentally, it's someone Cao Wei knows!

"Mother, I finally passed the exam!"

"I have a chance to be an official!"

Huang Duyu crowded in the crowd, making many people look disdainful.

"The last place, how do you look like winning the Huiyuan?"

"Hehe, it's not that simple to be an official."

"It's not promising, it's really a country man!"

In the eyes of the children of the family, Huang Duyu's reaction was quite exaggerated.

But in Cao Wei's opinion, it is very normal.

If you can nominate yourself, it probably won't be much better.

But the point is.

It's not a good thing for this person to know himself, and he will definitely want to show off in front of everyone he knows!

"Brother Wei, it's incredible that this kid can be on the list!"

Guo Jia's voice sounded in his ears.

At the same time, Huang Duyu also discovered Cao Wei's existence and looked at him.

"As expected!"

Cao Wei was extremely depressed.

"Brother Cao, Brother Guo!"

Looking at Huang Duyu, who was smiling with a smile on his face, Guo Jia opened his mouth and asked: "I haven't seen you kid love to study so much before, how can you also pass the exam?" ”

Huang Duyu read with a smile on his face: "I understand a little, I understand a little, but I just read more books while the two brothers were visiting the Qinglou, who knew that the book happened to be related to the test questions......"

"Okay, you Huang Du read, you dare to work hard secretly!"

Guo Jia gritted his teeth and turned his head to look at Cao Wei: "Brother Wei, why don't we beat him up?" ”

Hearing this, Huang Duyu's face changed, and he hurriedly left the crowd.

"Count you kid running fast!"

Guo Jia snorted coldly, and then looked at Cao Wei again: "Brother Wei, even this young man can win, and you will definitely be able to win!" ”

"Forget it, keep watching!"

Cao Wei said, and the two of them once again focused their eyes on the list.

"Hexi, Li Chengshou."

"Meng Yang, Lin Yi."

"Southern Yunnan, Guo Jia ......"

“？？？”

Cao Wei was in mixed moods.

Although it is true that he is a brother, Guo Jia is slightly inferior to himself, and Huang Du is even more crotch-pulling!

Even they can make the list!

If you don't get on, it won't be a shame!

But as long as Cao Wei thought of his original answer sheet, his heart instantly cooled.

Guo Jia patted Cao Wei on the shoulder: "Brother Wei, you are better than us, you will be in a while!" ”

"I hope so." Cao Wei was depressed and even began to get nervous.

"Brother Wei, I know your level, even I passed the test, how could you fail the test, I'll read your name later!" Guo Jia had a smile on his face.

"Forget it, don't say it!"

Cao Wei was a little uncomfortable.

Both of them were lucky, but Guo Jia actually hit it!

That's it.

Guo Jia comforted Cao Wei while listening carefully to the name.

During this period, the two of them also watched the list repeatedly, for fear that they would miss it.

Unconsciously.

The list has already reached the top 50, and the speed of the singing chart has gradually slowed down.

Everyone knows that when they get to the list here, they basically have nothing to do with civilian students.

During this period, Cao Wei's name did not appear at all!

It's really off the list!

Guo Jia looked at Cao Wei and comforted again:

"Brother Wei, although I didn't expect that I was so lucky, but you are my brother, isn't it the same as you when I pass the exam? If one day I Guo someone can become an official, Brother Wei, you will always be my Brother Wei! ”

"yes, who made you my brother!"

Cao Wei also gradually accepted the facts.

I originally felt that I couldn't pass the exam, but now that Guo Jia can pass the exam, it's much better than both of them falling off the list!

"Brother Wei, don't be discouraged, there will be a chance in the future, it's a big deal that I will spend money to support you for a lifetime until you get famous!" Guo Jia looked serious.

Cao Wei's scalp was numb, and he waved his hand in disgust: "Okay, okay, are you disgusting, and you will raise me for the rest of your life?" ”

"Brother Wei, although I am not as good as Miss Liu, I am sincere to you, Brother Wei!"

"Gross!"

Cao Wei didn't spit it out on the spot, but he still sighed: "Okay, you have won the Gongshi, go to the fireworks building to celebrate for you!" ”

"Good!"

Seeing that Cao Wei was in a much better mood, Guo Jia nodded fiercely.

The previous ranking had nothing to do with them, and the two of them turned around and left.

Just at this time.

The list also reached the last moment, but the two had already retreated to the back of the crowd.

"Third place, Jian'an Wang Yuan!"

"Second place, Jian'an Cui Zhe!"

"First place ......"

"Southern Yunnan, Cao Wei!"
