Bai Banxia smiled and said: "Then I'm so good at eating, aren't you afraid of being at a loss by me?"
"No matter how much you can eat, it's not as exaggerated as your uncle. Aren't we also deprived by him?" Aunt Li said with a smile.
It's really like this. Bai Banxia has seen Uncle Li's appetite these days. He can eat without getting fat, but he can't stay idle. He is busy with his fields at home and can't even stay when he goes out. After eating, he has to see other people.
's fields.
According to him, he feels happy just looking at the crops in the fields and can eat two more bowls of rice.
Uncle Li smiled and asked about Bai Shengming's exam performance. Bai Shengming said that he performed well.
"Thank you, Mr. Nan, for guessing the test questions correctly. I finished the exam much more easily." He did not forget to express his gratitude to Mr. Nan.
After hearing this, Aunt Li hurriedly said: "Just talk about this at home. It's okay for us to hear it. Don't mention it when we go out."
Mr. Nan nodded and joked: "Otherwise, I will be exhausted if people ask me to guess questions from now on."
"Not only that, I heard something a few years ago. It was not from our generation, but it was said by a businessman who came to my restaurant to chat."
Aunt Li slowly began to talk: "It was the autumn exam, and someone passed the exam. Later, he told his friends that he guessed the question correctly and had prepared well in advance, so he performed so well."
"You know what happened? He made people jealous, and someone reported him for buying questions in advance."
"What happened next?" Bai Shengming asked nervously.
"It seems that he knew some of the handymen in the examination hall, but later it was said that he had prepared the test questions in advance, which cost him his reputation as a candidate." Aunt Li sighed and said, "What a pity."
Bai Banxia frowned when he heard this, "If the handyman can get the test questions, then the management is too loose, right?"
"Who knows? Regardless of whether this is true or not, it's better to be careful, lest someone take advantage of this to make trouble." Aunt Li said.
Bai Banxia agreed with this point, and said to Bai Shengming: "Brother Erlang, you are right to be cautious. We have to pay more attention to Ji Li's matter this time. You and Mr. Nan just know it in your own minds, and don't mention it when you go back.
"
Mr. Nan also nodded and said: "Yes, don't mention it after you leave this door. No one present will tell it."
Everyone knew the seriousness and said they would not talk about it again.
After saying this, everyone started to move their chopsticks. Brother Erlang's performance was almost perfect. Although it was difficult to celebrate in advance, everyone was beaming with joy at this moment.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time to release the results.
The Jinshi Ranking is the Golden Ranking, so it is called the Golden Ranking. But now the Spring Examination Ranking is written in red and ink and posted.
"Why hasn't the list been posted yet? Didn't you say it would be posted early this morning?"
Early this morning, Bai Banxia and the others went to the gate of the government office to wait for the results to be released. However, the results had not yet been posted, and even the usually calm aunt became a little anxious.
"It's quick, it's quick. I don't have to copy the names one by one to avoid copying mistakes?" Bai Banxia advised.
The aunt nodded, "Yes, wait a moment."
Just as he was talking, two officers came out with the list, and the other two officers stood by to maintain order.
The people guarding the door roared and surrounded them. Bai Banxia and the others arrived early and were seated near the front, but they were suddenly squeezed by the people behind them.
"Oh my god, why is it so crowded?" the aunt shouted.
Bai Banxia heard that there was a lot of chaos when the results were released, so he didn't let Mr. Nan come. Mr. Nan had also experienced it. He was afraid that he would hurt his injured hand, so he waited for the news at home.
"Mom, let's not be in a hurry, be careful." Bai Shengming hurriedly gave his mother a hand to protect her.
Bai Banxia and Qi Zhen were not afraid of being squeezed, but they had to take care of Brother Erlang and the three of them. They looked at each other and shook the people who were squeezing back.
They don't take the initiative to squeeze others, but they can't be squeezed by others, so if they squeeze them and are knocked back, there's nothing they can do.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? How can you push someone?" The square-faced middle-aged man suddenly fell over and was pushed by the person behind him.
Just as the people around him rushed to the front, they suddenly dispersed around him, and he fell directly to the ground.
This man didn't even notice who pushed him from behind, so he just stared at Qi Zhen. Qi Zhen was really too tall, at least half a head taller than the average person.
Qi Zhen had a cold face and didn't want to pay attention to him at all.
But he shouted to the official who posted the list: "Brother Cha, someone has pushed everyone here, don't you care?"
The official who posted the list did not see Qi Zhen, but just said: "Don't crowd, what's the difference if you see it earlier and later? The scholar can't run away!"
But those who were anxious to see the list couldn't listen and kept pushing forward.
Finally, when the list was posted, someone pushed forward and was stopped by two other officers. "Stay back. If you push forward, we will have no choice but to arrest people!"
As they spoke, they drew their sabers, but they didn't pull them out completely, just to shock them.
This person is so crowded that if you pull it all out, you might get injured accidentally.
But fortunately, everyone was afraid of wearing swords, and they didn't dare to push forward when they heard the sound of swords being drawn.
"First place Wang Jian!" someone shouted sharply.
"It's me, it's me!" The square-faced man who had just lost his temper at Qi Zhen shouted excitedly, "I finally passed the exam, and I'm still the first. God has paid off!"
Bai Banxia's face turned dark. This man was almost as old as her father. He must have been studying hard for many years, right?
When the man called out that it was him, everyone looked at him with envy. Many people also congratulated him, congratulating him on being admitted as a scholar and being ranked first.
Not only did Wang Jian look particularly excited, he also looked at Qi Zhen with some pride and asked everyone to make way for him to come out.
He walked up to the official, pointed at Qi Zhen and said: "Brother Cha, he was the one who pushed me down just now. My arm is still hurting now. This is no different from hitting someone. It's so arrogant. I really think we are in Xiguan City."
Is there no more royal law?"
This Wang Jian spoke in a loud voice, and his voice was quite long, as if he was singing in an opera, which seemed quite pretentious.
The official saw that he was at the top of the list, and wanted to say a few words to him, but when he looked over, he realized that it was Qi Zhen. Who didn't know that he was the distinguished guest of the prefect?
"Mr. Qi, do you want to see the ranking list too?" the official said awkwardly.
Qi Zhen hummed and said nothing more. But Wang Jian saw that the official knew Qi Zhen and was afraid that he would not be able to stand up for him.
"No wonder he is so arrogant. He has some background and knows the magistrate, right?" Wang Jian's voice became louder again, "The adults are all here to review the rankings, so he pushed people to the ground. If he knew the magistrate,
Wouldn’t it be possible to kill people at will?”
This is all nonsense! Bai Banxia was very annoyed when he heard his pretentiousness, and said: "Is it possible that if you are a scholar and get the first place, you can spit on others and confuse right and wrong?"
