At this time, there must be a huge crowd of people in front of the list. Zhang Chengwang knew that he would not be able to squeeze in. He did not want to squeeze in with those people, so he chose to wait in the inn. There were several students living in this inn, so the shopkeeper just sent him
The waiter who was literate went to help see if any students from the inn were on the list. The waiter had already clearly remembered the names and places of origin of the scholars staying in the inn.
However, Zhang Wanli couldn't sit still at all, so he stood up directly and said to Zhang Chengwang: "Brother, I'd better go and see it myself."
This is the glory that belongs to their Zhang family. If you haven't witnessed it with your own eyes, you will always feel that something is missing. Moreover, Zhang Wanli also enjoys the envious looks of people around him and wants to experience it.
When he sees his eldest brother's name, he can shout that Zhang Chengwang is my brother, and he will be more impressive then.
"Then go ahead."
If Wan Li could squeeze to the front, he might be able to see it faster than the waiter. And compared to the waiter, Zhang Chengwang still trusted his younger brother more.
He looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was extremely nervous and had already drank several cups of tea.
Zhang Wanli got his permission and slipped away quickly.
The admission list is always posted on a high wall built by the Gongyuan. Beyond the high wall is a low wall that separates the list-seekers from the list-poster wall.
When Zhang Wanli passed by, the results had not yet been posted, but there was already a sea of people in front of the high wall. At a glance, they were all heads. After all, there were more than 3,000 people taking part in the provincial examination this time. Even if they did not come in person, their relatives and friends would definitely
I'll help you look.
Zhang Wanli used all his strength to suck the milk and squeezed in as hard as he could.
"Give me your place!"
It's a pity that no one bought it and he couldn't squeeze in at all.
The most annoying thing was that when he looked up, he saw Yuan Suifeng occupying the best position inside. He was wearing a brand-new lotus-colored round-neck robe, and his tall and straight figure was like a tree standing there, which was particularly attractive.
People pay attention.
Zhang Wanli couldn't help but cursed. What he was doing to grab such a good position was simply a waste. His brother's physical condition meant that he was lucky even if he didn't die. He still wanted to become a civil servant. It was a dream.
He gritted his teeth and rushed in again. Then he was forced out by other unconvinced people who taught him how to behave, which made him very angry.
Zhang Wanli had no choice but to wait until there were fewer people before trying again.
After waiting for about half an hour, when he was getting impatient, the officer with the red notice finally appeared.
They walked in through the separated path, and two government officials posted the red notice on the earthen wall.
After finishing posting, they stayed to maintain order. They said with dark faces, "Don't crowd. If you keep crowding, I will send you to squat for a few days."
Yuan Suifeng didn't care about their attitudes and kept his eyes fixed on the red list.
He has full confidence in his elder brother and starts looking directly from the far left.
The result was found immediately, right in the most conspicuous place.
Jie Yuan: Yuan Suijun, Lushan Village, Guangning County.
Although Yuan Suifeng thought that his eldest brother must be a successful candidate, his best result was to be in the top ten. He never expected that he would be Jie Yuan.
As if he had been hit hard on the head by a stone, Yuan Suifeng's mind went blank.
I don’t know how long it took, but he finally came to his senses and showed an expression of ecstasy mixed with pride, "Jie Yuan! My brother is Jieyuan!"
His loud voice was very penetrating. Zhang Wanli heard it immediately and his body stiffened instantly.
Is Yuan Suijun Jieyuan?
How is it possible? Isn't he a sick man? He was so sick that he couldn't even get up in the examination room. How could he still be Jieyuan?
Fake, it must be fake!
Yuan Suifeng must be bragging on purpose. If he boasts so much, isn't he afraid of being embarrassed later? Or is he going crazy when he succeeds?
People near Yuan Suifeng looked at him in shock, "Your brother is Jie Yuan? Is it true?"
They quickly looked at the first row.
"Your brother's name is Yuan Suijun? He's from Guangning County?"
"Yuan Suijun, this name sounds so familiar."
"Isn't he the student who was almost framed by Wu Xiujie before the provincial examination? It turns out that he has such talent, no wonder Wu Xiujie is so jealous."
"Yes, he is my brother!" Yuan Suifeng was going crazy with joy. Now, let's see who dares to say that his brother is young, which may not be good. Hum, his brother is the best!
Everyone else looked at Yuan Suifeng with envy.
Someone else's eyes lit up and they grabbed Yuan Suifeng's arm with excitement, "Is your brother getting married?"
This sounds like there is an unmarried daughter in the family.
Yuan Suifeng felt that no woman could compare to his sister-in-law. He pulled his arm back and said, "My brother got married last year. He and my sister-in-law have a very good relationship."
Aren’t the eldest brother’s paintings these days all for the sake of my sister-in-law?
"My niece is virtuous, virtuous, and as beautiful as a fairy. My brother and I are definitely a match made in heaven——"
Before the man finished his sales pitch, he heard Yuan Suifeng say: "My sister-in-law is the Lord of the Country of Wei!"
The middle-aged man's face twitched a few times during the sales pitch. Jinke Jieyuan's wife turned out to be Wei Guoxiangjun, so that's okay.
No matter how shameless he is, he still doesn't dare to compete with Mr. Wei Guoxiang? That status can be said to be as different as clouds and mud.
The middle-aged man was afraid of being recognized, so he didn't even bother to look behind him and left in despair.
Yuan Suifeng did not leave immediately, but continued to look down. Since he was here, he just wanted to see if there were any acquaintances on the list.
This time Dingnanzhou admitted a total of 101 candidates.
It doesn’t take much time to look at all these names. Most of them are from the state capital. There is no way. After all, the resources available here in the state capital are the best, not to mention that the state capital also has Qingyang Academy.
After looking at all the names, he didn’t recognize any of the other candidates. Except for his eldest brother, there were five other candidates in Guangning County who were on the list. Among these five, the one with the best score was ranked thirty-sixth, and there was another named
Zhang Cheng's luck is not bad either, ranking at 100.
As for Zhang Chengwang, he is not on the list this time.
In order to prevent himself from missing it, he read it again from beginning to end. Sure enough, Zhang Chengwang was not there.
This time he doesn't even have the qualifications to hang on to his tail.
Yuan Suifeng is in a happy mood!
He happily squeezed out and gave his place to others.
Those whose relatives were on the list were all dancing and looking ecstatic.
Those who failed were very disappointed, and some even burst into tears.
The probability of admission to the Provincial Examination is almost one in thirty, which means that most of them fail. Some have been taking the exam for a lifetime, and their hair is gray, but they still fail to make it.
At this time, he saw Zhang Wanli who was still trying to squeeze in, so he patted Zhang Wanli on the shoulder.
"Stop squeezing. Even if you squeeze in, it will be in vain."
"Your brother failed! His name is not on it."
Zhang Wanli's head was pounding, and he subconsciously retorted, "You're lying! My brother is so talented. He did so well in the exam this time, how could he not be on the list?"
