A new day has arrived, and the sky is not yet bright at this time, but at this time, the gate of the Gongyuan is already full of people, it is simply three layers inside, three layers outside, and the water is impassable here.

The soldiers guarding the Gongyuan also can't figure it out, is it worth it in order to see the list? In this cold and bone-chilling wind, waiting for the list to come out, the scholars at this time seem to hold the belief that the longer they wait, the greater the chance of being selected. While the soldiers wondered in their hearts that these soldiers were too stupid, they also muttered in their hearts whether these people were stunned.

Of course, in the crowd at this time, there were not only scholars who went to Beijing to take the exam, but also the attendants and servants of the people who should be raised in the capital, and even the wealthy families who did not participate in the provincial examination were also sending people to wait and inquire.

No matter what the purpose of these people was, they all stared at the gate of the Tribute Courtyard and watched when the officials who posted the list would come out.

In short, in the midst of thousands of waits, after several gusts of cold wind, when some people in the crowd had already stood numb and frozen, the gate of the tribute courtyard was finally completely opened, and I saw the officials who posted the list holding the list and assisting each other to put the list high.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the sun shone on the people who were struggling to see the list. The crowd near the Gongyuan is also increasing, and even in the distance, there are still people who are watching the list.

The moment the list appeared in the crowd completely, the richest expressions of human beings appeared. There are those who are happy, dancing with their hands, crying bitterly, and there are those who are happy, pretending to be calm and calm, but their trembling faces and hands betray the joy of his heart. But on the scene, more of them were unsuccessful, with sad faces, beating their chests, and of course, there were also silent crying and silent, and their hearts were like ashes. At this time, the gate of the Gongyuan can really be regarded as a portrait of a hundred lives in the world.

Of course, at this time, the Gongyuan people came and went, in addition to these scholars, there were also many more officials and rich ladies who came here to see the list, most of them came to inquire about their fathers and brothers or sweethearts, hoping to know the results of the provincial examination as soon as possible.

In addition to the people who came, there were also many servants and female envoys from various prefectures who came here to see the results they wanted, and they also ran towards the mansion quickly.

This person came and went, and the Li Mansion also sent people here to watch the list. When he was sure again and again, after seeing his Lang Jun's name hanging in the top few places, he hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and ran back.

Here in the Li Mansion, Mrs. Wei waited anxiously and sent a report from the people who watched the list, she still hoped that the good news on the list could help Li Sheng lift his spirits and get through it physically. Therefore, she frequently looked outside the house, but she was very worried, although she knew that her nephew would definitely be on the list, but she was afraid of accidents.

When she was nervous and her heart was tormented, she suddenly heard footsteps from outside the house and the joy that followed, "Madame, Madam, Madam, Lang Jun is in, Lang Jun is in, Lang Jun is in, Lang Jun is in." So saying, a panting young man ran into the house and happily reported to himself.

"Hit? Are you sure? Mrs. Wei asked.

"Really, I watched it back and forth three or four times, and wiped my eyes to look at it, it's true, our family Lang Jun hit, he hit." The servant patted his chest and reassured.

"Hit, hit, thank God, the birth of a child, did you hear that, sister? Sister, if you give birth to a child, he will be born, and our Wei family will also have a Jinshi. Alas, by the way, by the way, you said, how many places did Lang Jun win, do you remember? Wei continued to ask happily and incoherently.

"Oh, ma'am, I remember, yes, it's second, yes, it's second." The servant thought carefully for a moment, and then quickly replied.

"Second place, second place, it's really amazing, Sheng'er, you got the second place in the provincial test, did you hear that?" Wei asked the servant to go down to receive the reward, and at the same time returned to Li Sheng's bed, and said happily.

Hearing Wei's voice, Li Sheng gradually woke up, and asked weakly, "Auntie, is the list out?" Did I win? ”

Wei hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, Sheng'er, you won, you won, you won, you won the second place, the second place in the provincial test, you are really amazing, do you know?" ”

"Yes, I won the provincial test, the second in the provincial test, I know, this provincial test is difficult for me. Auntie, I'm in, I'm in. Mother, father, cousin, I was hit. Li Sheng exclaimed excitedly.

"I hear it, son, I hear it. I think your mother, father, and your cousin heard it. Don't get excited, don't say any more, take good care of your body, otherwise your aunt will be worried, and your mother, father and cousin will be worried about you. Wei reassured.

Li Sheng calmed down at this time, "Auntie, don't persuade me, I am already very relieved to hear the news of my test, and I am relieved, and my talent in this life has not been disappointed." It's a pity, it's a pity that I can't continue to participate in the palace exam, it's a pity that I can't compete for the champion in the palace exam, and it's a pity that I can't go horseback riding on the street. It's a pity, it's a pity. The sky is long, how thin is it for me. The sky is long, how thin is it for me, what is thinner than me. ”

Wei looked at his nephew, who was unwilling to accept fate and was struggling with illness, so he could only cry silently, shed tears, and gently patted his nephew's body, soothing his breathing and making him more comfortable.

"Aunt, I'm going, aunt, I'm going to give birth, I'm not filial son, I have to go first, and for the rest of my life, I can only rely on myself, aunt, you must take care, you must live well, live well for me and my cousin, don't do stupid things, promise me, don't do stupid things, otherwise even if I am in the underground nine springs, I will not be relieved, and my cousin will not be relieved." In this last moment, Li Sheng still confessed to his aunt, so uneasy and worried.

Knowing that his nephew's last moment was coming, and this miracle had not yet come, Wei could only nod his head again and again, wanting his nephew to be at ease and not worry about himself anymore.

"Auntie, take care, take care. Cousin, I'm here, I'm here to make amends for you, Ming is here, Ming is here to make ......amends for you", Li Sheng's voice gradually weakened, and his eyes gradually closed.

Seeing that his nephew was still leaving him, Wei, who had long been unable to help himself, burst into tears and shouted loudly: "Ming'er, my poor Ming'er, how can you bear to leave your aunt and leave me alone in this lonely world?" Ming'er, Ming'er, haven't you taken a roll call outside this Donghua Gate yet? How can you leave me? Ming'er, my last relative in the world, you are gone, what will my aunt do in the future, who else can I rely on? Ming'er ,......"

Hearing the crying in the house, the officials of the Li Mansion couldn't help but shed tears, thinking that Shao Langjun had never felt sorry for them on weekdays, but instead helped everyone in the mansion. And there was no other person in the house to discuss, so he had to be bold and enter the house, comforting the Wei family while asking about the aftermath.

At this time, Mrs. Wei, who had no master of the six gods, also reacted, but the endless sadness at the moment made her really not in the mood to deal with this, so she had to ask the old housekeeper to deal with it with all her powers.

Gradually, there were more weepings in the Li Mansion, red lanterns were wrapped in white cloth, and the servants were dressed in mourning clothes.
