Chapter 30: Attention
After being excited for a while, He Liang barely calmed down, and looked at Xu Xian, who was hugged by him, and felt a little embarrassed and blamed himself.
When he saw himself on the list just now, he really couldn't control himself, and his head was instantly filled with joy, so he celebrated regardless of it.
Now I remember, he was hit, but Hanwen didn't, he was so elated, didn't he stimulate him and rub salt on the wound?
"Ahem...... cough cough" He Liang let go of Xu Xian, coughed, and thought about organizing the language for a while before comforting: "Hanwen, don't be discouraged." With your intelligence, you are actually no worse than me, for example, if you can make such good poetry, I can't do it. If you didn't get it this time, it's bad luck, and you will definitely be able to get it next year!"
Looking at He Liang's embarrassed appearance, Xu Xian pointed to the gold list and said, "What's that...... Actually, I got it too. ”
"Huh?"
He Liang's eyes widened instantly, and he quickly turned around, looked at the list again, and went to find Xu Xian's name. As he looked for it, he asked, "You were also hit?"
Habitually, he looked at the list from the back to the front this time.
After reading several names in a row, but not seeing Xu Xian, He Liang wondered: "Hanwen, where is it? Why didn't I see your name?
Xu Xian was helpless, pointed to the front, and said, "Don't look back, look forward." ”
Forward?
He Liang shifted his gaze suspiciously, went to the front of the gold list, and then ......
Silent.
Deathly silence!
The expression on his chubby face was completely frozen, and there was no change for a long time, and only when Xu Xian patted him did he twitch his mouth, pointed to the front, and opened his mouth wide: "...... Clause...... ......
This guy actually stuttered.
Xu Xian shook his head, helped him finish the rest of the words, and said in a low voice: "I won the first place in this government exam, the first case." I told you that I submitted the paper early because I had completed all the questions, and there was really nothing to do, so I submitted the paper early. It's just that you didn't believe it at the time. ”
He Liang was still speechless.
Because he no longer knows what to say to express his feelings at the moment.
His best classmate turned out to be the head of this government exam!
In the past few days, he has always felt that Xu Xiantong can't pass the exam!
Other people in front of the list, some of those who participated in the government examination were happy and some were disappointed, and those who were purely watching the excitement began to discuss.
"The prodigy Fang Zhongyong only won the second place! Who is Xu Xian, the head of this case? There won't be any inside story, right?"
"You don't know who Xu Xian is? Have you ever heard of 'If you want to compare West Lake to Xizi, light makeup is always appropriate'? This poem is made by him!"
"Of course I heard of it! It turned out to be him!"
"Where is Xu Xian? He should have come to see the list, right?
"Who is Xu Xian, stand up quickly, let us all see what this talented man looks like!"
Hearing these discussions, Xu Xian hurriedly pulled He Liang and sneaked out of the crowd.
Although the government examination is only the beginning of the imperial examination, even if you get the position of the head of the case, it is unlikely that there will be such a thing as 'catching a son-in-law under the list'. But if he was blocked by thousands of people and looked at him like a giant panda, Xu Xian would still feel awkward, so he took thirty-six plans as the best plan.
However, Xu Xian can avoid people who don't know him, and he can't hide if he knows others.
He finally squeezed out of the crowd, and was about to return to the inn, when he saw three people blocking the way in front of him, looking at him with a smile.
Xu Mu'e, Lin Fei, Fang Zhongyong.
"Congratulations. The first to speak was the young and mature Fang Zhongyong, whose slightly immature face still looked stubborn and arrogant, but there was inevitably a bit of loss and frustration in his eyes.
Since he was a child, he has come all the way with the aura of supernatural powers, and he has always been the best one. originally thought that he might be slightly inferior to Xu Xian in poetry, but he would definitely win back a city in the imperial examination, and he was very confident that he could suppress Xu Xian and win the position of the head of the case in this government examination.
Unexpectedly, he still lost.
If it was someone else who read the papers, Fang Zhongyong would probably already be unhappy at this time, and asked to check the examination papers, and if he was not convinced, Xu Xian could force himself to get the position of the head of the case.
But it was his teacher Xu Zhengqing who presided over the marking, and even if Fang Zhongyong was unwilling, he could only be convinced.
Xu Mu'e has no position, it stands to reason that she should be on Fang Zhongyong's side, but at this time, she said to Xu Xian excitedly: "Xu Xian, you really didn't disappoint me, you really got the case!
Xu Xian shook his head and said, "The poems in the examination room are naturally new. ”
"A new one!" Xu Mu'e widened her eyes when she heard this, and asked curiously: "How is this poem? It shouldn't be worse than 'If you want to compare West Lake to Xizi, light makeup and heavy makeup are always appropriate', right?"
"It should ...... It's okay. Xu Xian said.
It turns out that the daughter of this academic and political science is a poetry fan. This should be about the same as those fans who pursue stars on the earth in the future, right?
At this time, I didn't know that he suddenly shouted: "It seems that he is Xu Xian, Xu Hanwen!"
When Xu Xian saw it, many people turned around and looked back at him, and they were suddenly shocked, and hurriedly arched their hands to a few people, and said, "Say goodbye first, and talk again when you have a chance in the future." ”
"Hey!"
Before Xu Mu'e finished speaking, Xu Xian had already pulled He Liang and continued to slip away.
"Really, what a run. This kind of high-profile thing, the glory that many people can't ask for, but it will become a trouble when you come here" Xu Mu'e pouted and muttered: "It's useless to go back to the inn, my father is going to send you an invitation in person soon, and you can't avoid the limelight when you want to!"
There will be a banquet after the government examination, and even the later college examination, township examination, and general examination, which is set up to celebrate the new science students.
For the hospital examination, the township examination, and the general examination, as long as you are on the list, you will receive a banquet invitation.
The level of the government examination is relatively low, and only the top 10 on the list are eligible to participate in the banquet.
However, whether it is the top ten in the government examination or the first place in the case, the people who send the invitations are ordinary officials who catch them quickly, and the Hangzhou Mansion has not had a situation where the students and politicians have personally sent the invitations for so many years.
Xu Mu'e also didn't know why his father would personally send an invitation for the head of a government trial. This is inevitably too trivial, too much to give Xu Xian face.
Even if she admired Xu Xian very much, she felt that Xu Xian was not qualified for this.
How did she know how much of a sensation the test paper of Xu Xianfu's test had caused, and even the Jingshi had a holy decree to convey it, and Xu Zhengqing didn't dare to slack off at all.
