Because most of them were betting, while everyone was expecting to win the ranking, they also hoped that Ling Yun would not win the ranking, so that they could have double happiness.
Even if you don't win in the end, if you can win the bet and get some money, you can comfort your hurt heart.
All in all, everyone gathered at the inn, apart from Yang Ergou, could not find anyone who hoped that Ling Yun would be on the list.
At this time, Yang Ergou's heart was beating fast, he was extremely nervous, and his clenched hands were sweating.
I don't know if it was because he invested all his wealth in Ling Yun, but he was the only one who worried about Ling Yun.
The first floor of the inn was overcrowded and there were no empty seats.
Someone drank cup after cup of tea.
Someone stood up and kept pacing in the crowded place.
Some people's eyes were straightened and they were muttering to themselves...
Ling Yun and his party were sitting in a corner next to the stairs of the inn. He was also drinking tea one sip after another.
The release of the provincial examination results, for Ling Yun, is not only about being on the list, but also a symbol of winning or losing in a huge gamble. He wants to win both.
Compared to Ling Yun's panic, Wang Jinghui seemed a little calm, whether he was resigned to his fate or confident.
Seeing Ling Yun's nervous look, Wang Jinghui couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Ling, whether you can win or not is a foregone conclusion. Why not relax and wait for the news."
Ling Yun was not as restless as him. Whether it was for his family or for himself, he would still be nervous as he should be.
However, after listening to Wang Jinghui's words, he felt much calmer, but he still shook his head and said, "Brother Wang, I have been studying hard for several years and have been waiting for this moment. It is a joke to say that I am not nervous. Look at all of you here, who are you?"
not nervous?"
Wang Jinghui heard about it, looked around, and found that it was indeed the case.
In fact, at such a critical moment, there is no one who is not nervous. Even those who are sure of victory and confident are still a little uneasy to a certain extent.
Wang Jinghui actually still had expectations in his heart, but he just didn't want to show it and could only suppress it in his heart.
Ling Yun pursed his lips, said nothing, raised the tea cup, and motioned for him to drink tea.
Annan Prefecture, in the east area of the city, is a symbol of the wealth and power of Annan Prefecture. The people who live here are either rich or noble.
I saw a mansion with a family of five sitting in the front yard at the main entrance. You were saying something to me, and there were expectant looks between your eyebrows.
A man held his head high, looked up at the dim moonlight, and said confidently, "Mom and dad, please rest assured, the name of Jieyuan will definitely fall into our Li family's house."
The implication is that he is the one who can solve the problem.
When the man heard this, he nodded slightly, but he still couldn't help but warned, "Before the person who brings the good news arrives, don't be arrogant or arrogant."
As soon as the man finished speaking, the woman next to him also said earnestly, "Zhiming, your father is right, you still need to be modest and prudent in life. Although you have been talented and intelligent since you were young, you should not underestimate people in this world.
.The world is so big, and there are so many talented people, there are also people who are more talented than you."
It turns out that this courtyard is the residence of a talented family in Annan Fucheng, and the young man who spoke is none other than Li Zhiming, who took part in the provincial examination this time.
At this time, he was full of confidence and energetic. It seemed that in his eyes, the top spot in the provincial examination was already within his grasp and there was no need to worry at all.
It was just his parents' words that made him feel unhappy, thinking how could a parent who didn't trust his son say that his son was inferior to others.
He thought that with his own ability, Jieyuan was just easy to obtain, and how could he be as cautious as they said.
Think of him, Li Zhiming, who has been extremely talented since he was a child. Compared with his peers, he has always been ranked number one since he was a child. He is just a piece of cake.
However, his parents' words shocked him quite a bit. He couldn't help but look at Li Zhili and said aggrievedly, "Brother, tell me, is this Jie Yuan my younger brother?"
Since his parents didn't believe him, he had no choice but to turn to Li Zhili for help. Maybe in his heart, as long as he could get Li Zhili's approval, he would be worthy of the top spot.
Li Zhili was stunned at first. He didn't expect his younger brother to ask him this question. He took it for granted that his younger brother must be the first.
Just when he was about to speak, that thin figure appeared in his mind, making him hesitate to speak. He didn't know what to say for a while.
After a pause, he said vaguely, "Brother, whether you are Jieyuan or not, you are the pride of our family."
Hearing this, Li Zhiming felt depressed. Unexpectedly, none of his family trusted him, so he turned his head away and stopped communicating with them.
When Li Zhili saw this, he sighed helplessly, thinking that his brother was aloof and arrogant, and he didn't know whether it would be good or bad if this continued.
If he is allowed to get the name of Jieyuan this time, I am afraid it will intensify his pride and be detrimental to his growth.
Because he saw himself from Li Zhiming three years ago. It was only after he missed Jie Yuan that he realized his mistake.
Therefore, compared to Li Zhiming winning the first place, he was more disappointed that he missed the first place. Otherwise, if he acted in such a way and insisted on going his own way, he would probably die prematurely.
Li Zhiming was so smooth that he had to worry about whether he would be devastated if he encountered setbacks in the future. No one knew.
Compared to the future, he hopes it is now. The sooner he experiences it, the better it will be.
My eyes were drawn back to the inn, because no official messenger had come to announce the good news yet, and no one knew who would be on the list, so the inn was still calm now.
Because of this, Ling Yun was still able to sit there and drink tea and chat leisurely.
The weather was calm, but it was relative. More and more people stood up from their seats, walked out of the inn door, and looked out the door.
But apart from the passers-by outside the door, there was no sound of drums at all, let alone the sound of horse hooves.
At a quarter past ten, a quarter of an hour had quietly passed since the time of the announcement, but no sound of the announcement was heard coming this way.
Everyone was anxious and thinking at the same time, could it be that everyone failed the exam?
How could it be that so much time had passed, and there were dozens of people here, but there was not a single voice announcing the good news.
Unconsciously, more and more people were standing at the door of the inn. Those who couldn't squeeze out were either worrying about their feet, moving stools, and craning their necks to look outside.
"Da da da..."
The sound of horse hooves finally sounded, and everyone in the inn stood up one after another and rushed to the door. However, there was no room for people in the door at this time.
You squeezed me and I squeezed you, and the door accidentally collapsed.
"Don't squeeze. Why squeeze?"
"Why don't you talk about yourself? You're obviously the only one who can squeeze it out."
...
The people standing at the very door saw the horse-riding government officials getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but murmur to themselves, "Here, come here quickly..."
"This...couldn't this be someone passing by?"
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him. When the man saw this, he immediately covered his mouth.
