It wasn't until the two Gong Jian brothers went their separate ways that the fat shop owner realized what he was doing. At this time, he slapped his thigh and said, "Oh my God. There's actually a great master who has lifted up the people in our shop."
, Oh my god, I just burned high incense."
His delayed reaction made Gong Jian look a bit suspicious. Could this man be a dinosaur? Why did his reaction arc take so long?
Perhaps he could see what Gong Jian was thinking, or the fat shopkeeper realized that his reaction was a bit slow. He quickly put on a smile, stretched out his hand to invite Gong Jian to sit in the valet area at the back, and said something
Greeting.
"Oh, it's so chaotic outside. Come on, Master Juren, come and sit inside. I've also set up a tea room inside, just for entertaining distinguished guests. I can't even invite distinguished guests like Master Juren.
Come on, come on, come on, Master Juren, come and sit in the tea room at the back. I will make the best tea in this shop right away, and I will also entertain Master Juren."
Gong Jian was a bit dumbfounded. The fat shopkeeper's attitude suddenly changed to this. He really didn't know what to do. There were so many people outside the door. It was hard for him to leave now, and it was hard for him to brush off the shopkeeper's enthusiastic attitude.
entertain.
Not to mention that Gong Yu quickly squeezed out of the crowd and hurried back to the inn to deal with the people who came to report the good news. Just here, Gong Jian was in the tea shop with the fat shopkeeper in the back, still enjoying his drink very comfortably.
Drinking tea.
If Gong Jian could really understand the difference in the taste of the expensive tea proposed by the tea shop owner, or if he could tolerate the fat shopkeeper's increasingly explicit flattery, Gong Jian would be in a better situation than Gong Yu.
On a lot.
After finally waiting for Gong Jian to have a full stomach of tea and repeatedly declining the fat shopkeeper's enthusiasm to continue entertaining him, Gong Jian staggered out of the tea shop.
At this time, the sun had moved towards the center, and it was almost noon. The group of people who were originally bustling outside the examination room were basically nowhere to be found.
Only three or five people were still standing there blankly, not knowing what these people were doing. At this time, Gong Jian could no longer care about anything else, and he walked quickly towards the red list. Anyway, he
You must find your name on the red list. Only then can you really put all your heart into your stomach.
At this time, there was no crowd blocking the way outside the examination room. Still happy, Gong Jian walked to the red list. He quickly browsed the names on the red list from front to back. He had heard the messenger say that he was
Winning the seventeenth place, Gong Jian simply used his eyes to find the position of the seventeenth name. Sure enough, it was clearly written in black and red on the paper, his name and place of origin.
It wasn't until this moment that Gong Jian completely relaxed. He breathed a sigh of relief and began to figure out in his mind. Now that he had truly won the title of Juren, which way should he use to get to Zhao's house?
, looking for an excuse to take Zhao Rong out of Zhao's house.
Maybe Gong Jian had been standing in front of the list for a long time. Among the three or five people who were still standing there, one person seemed to have noticed Gong Jian's abnormal behavior at this time. So Gong Jian was still thinking about it.
When I was worried, someone next to me suddenly asked.
"Brother, you have been on the top of the list for so long, but is it because your name is not on the list?"
Although this person was still polite in asking questions, no one would be happy to hear the words he asked. Is there anyone in the world who would specially run to the side to ask you if you were defeated? If you ask such a question, it will be correct.
** is going to be beaten.
Fortunately, Gong Jian's temper was relatively good. He was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that someone would ask such a question. But after a moment, he immediately reacted.
Just when Gong Jian wanted to blurt out and deny the person's question, although he would not point out the location of his name, after all, this behavior has a sense of showing off, but Gong Jian did not want others to think that he had lost the election.
After all, this kind of thing will be clear upon investigation. There is really no need to lie, and there is no need to tell such lies in order to comfort other people's feelings or take care of other people's emotions.
But before Gong Jian could speak, his stunned expression just now was interpreted by the person opposite him as that his guess seemed to be the correct conclusion. So the man immediately said excitedly: "I just said, brother, look at
Such a talented person, at first glance, seems to have a lot of knowledge, but he is not on the list. I guess just like our brothers, we were also tricked by the evil examiner."
Gong Jian never expected that the question he asked was too strange. He was stunned for a while and was actually understood by the other party as his acquiescence. He wanted to explain again.
But that person seemed to have predicted all of his reactions. Before Gong Jian could really speak, the person stopped what Gong Jian was about to say and spoke in a low voice.
"I know, I know. Xiongtai must also be a cautious person. Although we were tricked by the examiner, this is really not the place for us to talk. I have contacted some other students. Tonight, everyone
We will be in the private room on the second floor of Yingchun Building, and we will discuss important matters together then."
After saying that, he didn't wait for Gong Jian to speak again. Instead, he used an expression that I knew well even if you didn't have to say it. He reached out and patted Gong Jian on the shoulder. Then he turned around and sighed deeply, hunched his back and slowly
Walked away slowly.
After he said a bunch of incomprehensible words, he even patted himself on the shoulder. Then he sighed and walked away like this. Gong Jian looked at the man's leaving figure and wondered what happened.
I don't understand what happened just now.
Now he really wished that his second brother could still be with him. He could discuss it with someone and understand what this person was talking about just now. After hesitating for a moment, Gong Jian slowly recalled that this
It comes from what people just said.
In fact, the man had been talking since just now and when he was not allowed to speak, Gong Jian had only been thinking about quickly opening his mouth to explain that he was not a failed student, but this man did not give himself a chance to speak.
Therefore, it is inevitable that Gong Jian really did not reflect what the words this person said meant. At this time, he slowly recalled the two sentences that the person said, and Gong Jian couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back.
Come down. What this person means is that there is fraud in the examination room. (To be continued)
