In the steamed bun shop of Mrs. Han, people are tasting the delicacies with relish. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 At this time, the most eye-catching fear is the two women and a man sitting by the door, and seeing their beautiful women and men has attracted the attention of many people. At this time, there was an extremely noisy sound in the alley in front of the bun shop, but this time it attracted everyone's attention.

"Hey, the list has been revealed, and the township test has been unveiled......"

"Ah, is it unveiled? Hurry up and take a look!"

......

One after another, excited voices came, and people rushed to tell each other. Counting the day of the unveiling of the township test list, the list of the middle school was posted in front of the yamen of the governor's mansion at this time, and the news immediately spread, and people went to watch it one after another.

"Ah, the township test is being unveiled, let's go and have a look!" Wu Chuxi was the first to stand up in the bun shop to ask for the opinion of the psychic son.

When the crowd heard the cheers, they also got up and walked to the governor's yamen.

Tonglingzi and Jiang Hanmei looked at each other and nodded, and also got up and chased after themselves.

###

The governor's yamen was on the East Avenue not far from here, and it was now empty of thousands of people, and the people were talking loudly, as if they were no less concerned about the matter than they were about it.

"Hey, let one go, let one let ......" It is rare that even the proprietress of the bun shop is extremely curious, she keeps playing with the crowd in front of her, relying on her fat big man, she just "kills" a road, and the three girls in white follow closely behind her and squeeze into the innermost.

I saw that in front of the majestic governor's yamen, red paper was pasted all over the wall, and the names of the candidates were written in eye-catching italics.

"Wow, I'm hit, hahaha......"

"Thank you ancestors for your protection, woo woo, I finally hit the ......"

......

"Hey, I didn't hit the ...... again"

......

Hearing the voices of each extremely excited, all the candidates had their own feelings. The three girls in white also looked at it with great interest, but although the names on it looked joyful, none of them knew each other.

"I really want to see who the first place Xie Yuan is this time?" Jiang Hanmei asked curiously, because they were still far from the beginning of the list, they couldn't see the name of the top of the list.

At this time, I heard someone talking about it.

I only heard a middle-aged man: "Hey, do you know who Xie Yuan is this time?"

An old man muttered, "I've never heard of this person before!

The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled: "Of course we haven't heard of it!"

Jiang Hanmei saw that he was smiling calmly, and he looked like a traitor, so she asked, "Does Uncle know who this Xie Yuan is?"

The middle-aged man nodded slightly and said, "I know a little, I also heard it from a relative in the provincial capital Ministry of Rites." ”

The people around heard someone talking about Xie Yuan, and they also hurriedly turned their faces to listen. The middle-aged man glanced at everyone, and just said as if he was hanging his appetite: "You might as well guess how old this Xie Yuan is this year?"

The old man swept his beard and said, "Judging from the past, this Xie Yuan is generally at least a young man over twenty years old, and the older ones have also been in their sixties and seventies. In my opinion, no matter how young he is, he will not be lower than eighteen, and no matter how old he is, he will not be higher than seventy, right?"

The middle-aged man just sneered and shook his head, greatly disapproving.

At this time, a young man who looked like a scholar said: "Since ancient times, there have been many scientific research talents, as far as I know, the youngest champion in the past was Guo Yuanzhen in the Tang Gaozong period, and he was eighteen years old. Even a young genius like Wang Bo is sixteen years old and first. Why? Is this man even smaller than these two?"

The middle-aged man bowed his head deeply and said, "Yet, how old are you from our Xie Yuan?"

Everyone shook their heads to show that they didn't know, only to hear him say in disbelief: "Fifteen!"

"Ah, fifteen?"

......

Everyone on the side was surprised and unbelievable.

When the old man heard this, he sighed and said, "I am full of talented people in Shu! Last time, Yang Tinghe was tried in the township, and he was able to win the lift at the age of twelve. This time, there was a Xie Yuan, who was raised at the age of fifteen, and also took the first place in the exam. Hey, hey, these two people can be called my twin heroes in Shu, and they will definitely make great achievements in the future, like the sky!"

Everyone agreed, and they all nodded yes!

Jiang Hanmei and the others watched everyone's reactions, knowing that this Xie Yuan was a young genius, but they didn't know the name of this person, and the proprietress of the bun shop hurriedly said: "Then dare to ask what is the name of this young man?"

The middle-aged man was about to answer, but he heard the voice of the errand official who posted the list text nearby, and only heard him shouting: "The new Xie Yuan is here?

This person was ordered to invite this Xie Yuan, thinking that he would win the championship at a young age, and he must also be valued by the governor, so he was invited to meet. Everyone held their breath and didn't say a word, just waiting to see the legendary young man Xie Yuan's demeanor. It's just that after this question, there was no response.

Then the man shouted: "Can the new Xie Yuan be here? ”

"Is Xie Yuan here?"

......

Three or four voices passed, and there was still no reaction from the crowd.

"Well, maybe this Lord Xie Yuan hasn't come to see the list yet. Hey, okay, then I'll have to stay here and wait for him to come and see the list!" The man looked helpless, wondering in his heart, but he didn't know when he would be able to finish his errand and go home to rest.

Everyone saw that this Xie Yuan didn't seem to have arrived, and they couldn't help but feel a little regretful. But at this moment, a slightly shy, small voice quietly rose: "I...... I'm here!"

Hearing this, everyone was very happy, and the Lord Xie Yuan was still selling Guanzi, and it took a long time to come out! But no, everyone searched for the voice, and saw that at the end of the crowd at the end of Dongdajie, a young man slowly walked out. The man was not tall and looked very eye-catching. I saw that he was wearing a shabby robe, which was so rotten that he couldn't bear to look at it. His demeanor, whenever and wherever he stands in the crowd, may look "unusual", because the big head that grows on his thin body is swollen and ugly.

Xie Yuan, everyone finally saw the true face of Lushan, but what followed was an uproar, people exclaimed in surprise, and their eyes widened.

"Ah......" Wu Chuxi was stunned, his mouth was wide open, as if he couldn't believe it, but his eyes revealed incomparable envy and jealousy.

Tonglingzi and Jiang Hanmei looked at each other speechlessly, but the surprise in their eyes was self-evident.

I'm afraid no one would have thought that Xie Yuan, the genius who was the first in the township test, would be this weak and ugly poor boy. Everyone was stunned in surprise, I am afraid that the most exaggerated is the proprietress of the bun shop, at this time her body was trembling, her eyes were staring into the dark, her breathing was short, her face was pale, and she almost fainted when she looked at her, but it was not dizzy, but she was surprised and frightened.

In fact, it was not only everyone who was surprised, even Yunxiao himself was surprised, although he read poetry and books carefully, but he did not take the result to heart at all. After he got out of Aunt Han's bun shop, he wandered around the nearby street with a sad mood, and happened to come to East Street to see the errand officer posting the list, and at random glance, he saw that he had won the jackpot, and he was so surprised that he almost jumped three feet high. However, as more and more people watched the list, he was squeezed to the end, and at this time, he heard the messenger calling again and again, so he was embarrassed to stand up. Speaking of which, this township test was also unintentionally inserted into the willows, and he thought that he was "only sparse and shallow", where did he think of the meeting.

The stunned crowd took the initiative to get out of the way and let the young man shuttle and gallop, but Yunxiao was not arrogant, but only modestly respectful. When he came to Tonglingzi and Jiang Hanmei, he nodded and smiled at them shyly, and then walked to the side of the errand and said politely: "I am Yunxiao, may I ask this eldest brother, where is the governor now, and the student will go to see his old man!"

The errand officer also came to his senses, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Oh, Yun Jieyuan, the governor is in the mansion, please Xie Yuan come with me!"

As he spoke, he respectfully stretched out his right hand to lead the way.
