Chapter 0008 must be in the top three
The next day, before dawn, Zhang An was whining and scumming.
Just because today was the day when the results were released, Zhang An became excited.
There is no other reason. Zhang Haogu is a god in Zhang An's eyes. Basically, everything the young master said has been accomplished.
The young master said that if you want to be in the top three, then you must be in the top three.
Zhang Haogu himself, of course, needless to say that he needs to be more confident.
It was still early, so Zhang Haogu waited leisurely and slowly.
Compared to him, others in the inn were not so relaxed.
Many people staying in this inn come to Beijing to take the exam.
Just listening to Zhang An preparing to see the rankings and the top three schools in his young master's high school, someone suddenly sneered: "You don't know where the world comes from. You are looking down on us."
The speaker also came to participate in this year's imperial examination. As soon as he spoke, someone immediately echoed: "We are participating in the imperial examination in the same year, and the results will be released at noon. The results are unknown, and some people are making wild claims. It is really ridiculous."
There are also those with impatient personalities who speak out: "You simply don't treat us as human beings. If you say you will win, you will win? Are you looking down on us?"
The inn immediately became noisy.
Zhang An put on a risk-taking attitude and said that if his young master failed to get into the top three, it would be tantamount to killing him, so he insisted on reasoning with these people.
"Who is my young master? He is a living Zhuge, and he knows things like a god. If the young master says he can win, then he will definitely win. All of you are beyond your reach."
Zhang Haogu didn't expect that Zhang An had a bit of a temper, which was good.
"Still Zhuge, I think newborn calves are not afraid of tigers."
Mr. Chen, who was wearing a green lapel, said: "This is the fourth time I have gone to Beijing to take the exam. I missed it the first three times and failed every year. But fortunately, I have finally gained something and made progress. I will definitely pass this year!"
Many people know Mr. Chen. I heard that when he came to take the exam for the first time, he didn’t even see his name on the list. He still didn’t make the list the second time, which made people from ten miles and eight villages laugh and cry. He finally worked hard and tried hard.
Strong, I studied hard day and night, and finally made it to the list for the third time.
It's on the list, but it's at the bottom of the list, which really doesn't look good.
In order to save him some face, everyone even came to him to congratulate him.
Others would congratulate me for going to high school, but here I would like to congratulate him for even making the list.
However, this is also inevitable.
Even if you are at the bottom of the list, you are still an official.
Mr. Chen was still very proud of himself. During the few days he was waiting for the results to be released in the inn, he made a lot of noise every day, telling everyone he met that he wanted to pass high school in one fell swoop!
Zhang An smiled from ear to ear: "Mr. Chen, you keep saying that you have gained and made progress every year. It is true, but it is just like a snail climbing a tree, slowly swallowing. Last year, you couldn't even reach the bottom of the list.
Trying to win the top spot this year is tantamount to wishful thinking and wishing you could reach the top of the list in one go. I think it’s hard, it’s hard!”
Others around him were also holding back their smiles.
Mr. Chen was so ashamed and angry that he grabbed a handful of chopsticks in the bamboo tube on the inn table and tried to rush forward. Everyone rushed to stop him.
The two sides fought fiercely.
This Zhang An was not good at anything else, but he was extremely powerful. He beat these several candidates until they cried for their parents.
Zhang Haogu drank tea slowly while watching Zhang An beat more than a dozen people each time.
But he couldn't help but sigh, this Zhang An, how come I haven't seen him so powerful before?
Just at this moment, a person walked in from the door of the inn.
Zhang Haogu glanced at it, "Hey guys, the carpenter emperor is here."
"Brother Zhang!"
Zhu Youxiao saluted Zhang Haogu.
"Brother, do we meet again?" Zhang Haogu smiled and saluted Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao took one look at this chaotic scene but couldn't help but frown: "Is this?"
"It's nothing, it's just some verbal conflict!" Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"
Zhu Youxiao said with a smile on his face: "Brother, I went back to this clockwork yesterday and thought about it, but I still couldn't figure it out. I came here specifically today to ask for advice. If I could make such a wooden cow and a flowing horse completely, it would be an eye-opener for me.
It’s also good!”
Zhang Haogu sighed: "Brother, I just promised to demonstrate it to you before, but I never said that I would complete it, let alone teach it to you. I have something important to do today. Today's scientific examination results will be released.
, I don’t have the heart to focus on these things.”
He was so rude, but he didn't care.
Although Zhu Youxiao was a famous carpenter emperor, he was a faint king.
But he is not a tyrant after all.
You won't kill someone just because you disagree.
As expected, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "I am here to announce the good news to you. You have passed the exam. You don't need to worry about the imperial examination anymore. The top priority is to make the wooden cow and the flowing horse. I guarantee that you will be in the top three!"
As soon as these words came out, the other candidates in the inn became quiet.
"What kind of person are you? To say that he took the imperial examination in high school is just wishful thinking?"
"What's the use of your words? Only what the emperor says will be of any use."
Zhang Haogu, however, remained calm: "Brother, don't try to bluff me. If you really make it to the top three in high school, my family will burn a lot of incense!"
Zhu Youxiao approached Zhang Haogu and lowered his voice slightly and said to him: "Don't you believe it? Someone in my family knew that you were among the top three."
"really?"
Zhang Haogu glanced at Zhu Youxiao.
The emperor admitted it himself, so it is estimated that the top three must have not escaped.
Zhu Youxiao personally said that he was among the top three in high school, so how could he be wrong?
Aren’t the wonderful days of being promoted to three levels in a row just around the corner?
"If you still don't believe it, the results will be released soon. Can we go and take a look?"
Go, of course you have to go!
Although it was not yet time for the results to be released, the place was already crowded with people, all of whom were waiting with eager eyes and anxious anticipation.
Other people in the inn also arrived one after another, including Mr. Chen, who still looked unconvinced.
Zhang Haogu approached Zhu Youxiao and asked tentatively: "You said you have someone in your family, who am I among the top three? Who are the other two?"
Zhu Youxiao deliberately showed off: "Just see for yourself."
He pointed his fan, and several guards happened to be posting it. The list slowly unfolded, and Zhang Haogu's name was written at the first one!
"No. 1 in Class A! Sure enough, we are in the top three!"
Zhang An was even more excited than Zhang Haogu. The moment he saw his young master's name, he almost jumped three feet in the air: "The young master has won! My young master has really won!"
Zhang Haogu was stunned.
its not right.
In cross talk, I am second.
How did it become number one?
He glanced at Zhu Youxiao next to him again.
Needless to say, it must have been this dog emperor who changed his ranking.
Good guy, number one, that’s the number one pick.
A red list, some people are happy and some are worried.
Someone next to me suddenly burst into tears. The seven-foot-tall man cried so hard that his heart was broken and his heart was broken. He knew he was dead as soon as he heard it.
The man wiped his tears and said: "It's so far behind. I think I will be hopeless in high school for the rest of my life. I'm really ashamed of my parents!"
There were also other people who failed the exam and cried with him: "I'm afraid I have no hope of serving the imperial court in this life, and I can't embark on an official career and prosper."
Looking at Mr. Chen again, he seemed to be pushing forward like crazy. If the officers and soldiers hadn't stopped him, he might have jumped onto the list.
He muttered: "Impossible! How could it be that my name is not there? Am I not even on the list? I should be at the top of the list!"
No matter how noisy he is, he can't change the facts.
From this point of view, the last time he barely made it to the bottom of the provincial examination was his best test.
"Okay, Mr. Chen, don't force me. You are just like us, you are not a candidate for the imperial examination, so why bother to force it."
Some people have become accustomed to mistakes, and their faces are obviously resigned to their fate. These words sounded like they were comforting Mr. Chen, and they also sounded like sharp sarcasm.
"It's just that you didn't win, and you are showing your ugly face. You still want to enter the official career and serve as an official in the government like this?" There are also people who pretend to be calm on the outside, suppressing the disappointment after failing, and saying unnecessary words.
, but his face was already filled with tears.
There is a mixture of sadness and joy. Some are extremely sad, and some are overjoyed.
Zhang An and another complete stranger shouted at each other, "hit, hit!"
The other party was so excited that his face and neck turned red, and he shouted as if he had to use all his strength to shout out these two words with blood.
Until he shouted hoarsely, the man couldn't take a breath, his vision went dark and he fainted and fell to the ground. This was probably because he was extremely happy and was sad.
Zhang Haogu wanted to slap this guy: "Beast, what did you hit?"
Chapter completed!
