A few days later, the dean of the academy arrived. He went to the Zhuangyuan Building and did not find their brothers. He had no acquaintances here, so he could only wait outside.
It was only three days later that I saw Zhang Dong and came back with him.
"How's it going? Are you sure?"
"It's not bad." Po Meng said with a smile.
The dean sighed in his heart, he came here specially to wait for their good news.
The two brothers ranked first and second in the provincial examination. They were also very promising in the joint examination.
"Aren't you going to the Zhuangyuan Building? Almost 80% of the candidates are there."
Both of them shook their heads, "I'm not going."
It's not the time to meet the Ye family yet, so I'd rather stay here in a low-key manner.
The dean was helpless. Ye Liangjun had always had a restless temper, so why didn't he go out this time? Since they weren't going out, he should go out to see for himself and listen to the news from outside.
Everyone who participated in the examination knows that several of them became famous at a young age.
In fact, two of my students have become famous at a young age, and they are also what they call dark horses.
Every day he would come back and tell them the news outside.
"Someone has already set up a game, and there is also a game to bet on your high school, with odds of one to three."
Now Mrs. Meng was excited, "I'll go place a bet tomorrow."
Qi Wen had no objection, she could do whatever she wanted, thinking that she had been curious about gambling before, but now it was no longer attractive.
The next day, Po Meng went to place bets with two hundred taels of silver, and came back with the receipt to show off to Qi Wen.
"Hope is all on you."
"What does it have to do with me? I don't have that confidence."
"But I have already bet all our money. If you can't do it, won't it be wasted? Let's drink cold water from now on?"
"That's your business. Who gave you such courage?"
Despite what Qi Wen said, she still went out and sold two ginseng plants in the afternoon and got back 700 taels of silver.
There was a smile on Po Meng's face, she was her friend and would always stand behind her.
The days went on like this. Because they were bored, the two of them were studying food at home. Although they didn't do anything, they were just responsible and said that Zhang Sheng's wife would do it.
I got the news in the evening that the eldest young master of Yehou Mansion was almost dead and called several doctors.
"Keep staring."
Zhang Sheng understood. The days passed quickly, and the day came when the results were released. Zhang Dong went out to wait before dawn.
The two of them were waiting leisurely at home for news.
The dean was also really anxious and took the bookboy out to read the news.
At this moment, Qi Wen felt Gu Ersheng.
"How did you come?"
"Your eldest brother has gone to work as a substitute."
"You really know how to find people."
"Of course, your eldest brother didn't refuse. It just so happened that he didn't want to talk. There's no need to talk in that job. If you don't obey, you'll be beaten."
Po Meng looked at her sisters in a daze. "What's wrong?"
"Gu Ersheng is here, my eldest brother is going to work for you."
"Hehe, I thought that the King of Hell would never let me come out again after I go back."
Gu Ersheng said in his heart, don't come out. Even if you come out, don't call Qi Wen. He really followed her bad example.
It would be okay if the two girls were born as boys and had no memories of their previous lives. Obviously both of them remembered it. Wouldn't it be embarrassing when it was convenient every day?
Gu Ersheng felt much more relaxed after returning to Qi Wen's sea of consciousness.
After an hour, even while sitting at home, I heard the noise outside.
"Master, master." Zhang Dongfeng ran in. "Master, you are still first or second."
Po Meng smiled very happily. "I made a profit, I made six hundred taels."
Zhang Sheng's wife hurried over to prepare. Her purse was essential.
Zhang Sheng immediately started sweeping the yard.
The dean is also back. He is really excited now. After passing the general examination, there will be the palace examination. With their youth, they will not be buried.
"Dean, you can't do it."
"Why not? When I was young, I took part in the national examination. At that time, I didn't get any rankings, and I didn't even get into the top three. You two will be my bragging rights for the rest of my life."
The two of them had already changed their clothes and were waiting for the officials to come and announce the good news.
When everything was ready, the sound of gongs and drums was heard, and Zhang Sheng went outside to wait.
Soon Zhang Dong ran in and said, "Master, master, get out quickly, the official is here."
When the two came out, they saw the dean chatting with the officials. He really got along well with everyone.
"Sir Ye Liangyu has invited me. Congratulations to you, I won the first place in the high school Jinshi."
Zhang Sheng immediately distributed purses to everyone. This gentleman's package contained more money.
Qi Wen took the document and said, "Thank you, sir, for your hard work."
"My lord, you have really embarrassed us. This is my job."
"Sir Ye Liangjun, congratulations on your second place in high school Jinshi."
Zhang Sheng distributed the purse again, so that both parties were happy. The one who gave the money was happy and willing to give, and the one who received the money was happy and got double.
There were many people around, most of them were people attending the exam and their families.
"Congratulations again to both adults. I still have work to do, so I'll take my leave."
After sending off the official duties, I was congratulated by people outside. I came first in the imperial examination, and there was no problem at all in the palace examination.
Many people now know the news about their brother.
If you don't succeed in the palace examination, it really doesn't make sense.
After chatting outside for an hour, I finally got out and came in.
The dean was really happy, "I have seen that there is a month to go before the palace examination, and everyone who has ranked this time will take part."
Qi Wen nodded. Everyone knew that he would have to take the palace examination after high school, but it really didn't matter.
Mrs. Meng was excited. She took Zhang Dong to collect the money. It was better now. There was a lot more pocket money.
The dean and Qi Wen chatted about the rules of the imperial examination.
"I have never participated, but I have heard of it."
"It's okay. We just don't know. We can just follow what others do. Don't worry."
"I have confidence in you."
Mrs. Meng came to the gambling house excitedly. This time the gambling house made a lot of money, and the most famous ones defeated so many people that they didn't expect.
Po Meng got her gambling money very smoothly and happily took Zhang Dong back.
"Look, after spending so much money, it feels like making money is actually quite easy."
Qi Wen just smiled and watched Po Meng showing off. This guy would probably be excited for several days.
There is still one month left and it will already be the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year has already been celebrated here.
In fact, if I were really in high school, I would really stay.
Now the dean is very popular and the academy is even more famous.
Ye Houye looked at the names of the two high school students this year and felt incredible. Didn't he say that he saw them being killed by bandits with his own eyes?
Besides, even if the two of them were not dead, they would definitely not be ranked first or second in terms of literary talent. They must be people with the same name.
But you can use the name thing to get close, it must be a good excuse.
