"If we were looking at the rankings, who would push back instead of pushing forward?" Bai Banxia smiled, "Let me tell you, before you squeezed to the front just now, were you behind us or in front of us?"
"You squeezed us who were standing in front from behind, but you said we pushed you?"
When Wang Jian was exposed, he lost his face and hurriedly argued: "The people behind are squeezing me, and I can't escape. Can't you be more patient? You still have to push me down, and my arm is injured."
"You insist on saying that we pushed you, then why did he push you? Which hand did he use? What movement?" Bai Banxia asked.
"You are just quibbling. In such a crowded situation, how could I clearly see how he pushed me? Not to mention which hand he had to look at?" Wang Jian said disdainfully.
Hearing this, Bai Banxia laughed instead.
"Since there are so many people and you can't see clearly, how can you see that it was him who pushed you instead of someone else? You can't just tell who is taller when you look back, right?"
She continued: "We lined up in front, and you squeezed in, but we didn't even move. Then you fell down and you blamed us. You still came first in the exam. How come you don't make any sense?"
This statement is reasonable and well-founded, and many people nodded in agreement. There are so many people and it is confusing, so why do you have to say that others recommend you?
"I see that it was someone else who pushed you down, but you just stared at us and kept saying, you are a top scholar, aren't you a little too narrow-minded?"
These words made Wang Jian unable to get off stage. His Chinese-character face turned red, like a red iron. In addition, his face was already dark, but now it was both dark and red.
"I was right when I saw it was him. You have been sophistry, isn't it just because you know the official? How can you really know the prefect?" Wang Jian said.
The officer couldn't stand hearing it any longer and said directly: "He really knows our Lord Magistrate and has helped him solve several unsolved cases."
Wang Jian was dumbfounded by this. Bai Banxia pursed her lips and looked at him, wanting to see how this man would step down.
I didn't want this man to have a bad temper, so he rubbed his neck and said: "Even the prefect can't protect him. He pushed me down and hurt me. Shouldn't I apologize and pay for it? If the prefect protects him, then I will fight with all my bones."
, I’m going to appeal too, but if the government can’t appeal, I’ll go to Beijing to appeal!”
"Are you sick?" The grumpy official was unhappy, "Even if you get the top spot in the exam, you don't have to be so self-righteous, right? I've analyzed it with you. I was confused just now and didn't push you. You probably saw it wrong.
Isn’t it enough to just expose it? You still have to file a petition, so hurry up and no one will stop you!"
Bai Banxia also spread her hands, "You can do whatever you want, don't stop us from seeing the list."
She pulled Qi Zhen and the eldest uncle forward and I moved closer, and finally saw the list clearly.
She was still looking for Brother Erlang's name, when Qi Zhen said: "The sixth in the fifth row."
She looked over and saw the words "Bai Shengming".
"Brother Erlang, you won!" she said happily.
Bai Shengming looked at where Qi Zhen was talking about, with a smile on his face.
"Xiao Qi has really good eyesight." Brother Erlang praised happily.
The aunt and uncle also saw it clearly, and they both became happy together.
At this time, Wang Jian blushed and said: "How great I am! How many places have I ranked? It's weird to be admitted to the Talents Examination."
Bai Banxia gave him a big eye roll, "It's none of your business? Aren't you going to file a complaint? Hurry up and leave for Beijing, don't delay."
"You... you can only raise women and villains." Wang Jian said with a look of disgust.
"You have so many things to worry about. You eat too much salt and you have nothing to do, right?" Bai Banxia scolded him and didn't bother to answer him.
They were happy now and eager to tell Mr. Nan the good news. No one wanted to pay attention to the fussy Wang Jian, so they simply said hello to the official and left.
"You..." Wang Jian was unconvinced and wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by an official.
"Okay, don't you need to go home to announce the good news?" the official asked.
Wang Jian didn't say anything. I don't know who said it: "He doesn't need it. I heard that his wife was so angry that he ran away!"
The onlookers burst into laughter, and Wang Jian's face turned even darker and red. He muttered "unreasonable" and then left with a flick of his sleeves.
Bai Banxia and the others told Mr. Nan the good news when they got home. Mr. Nan was very calm.
"As expected, I asked you to see the list because I wanted you to experience the process," Mr. Nan said.
"Looking at the rankings, I can see the excitement." Bai Banxia briefly told Wang Jian's story.
Mr. Nan laughed after hearing this, "Speaking of which, Wang Jian was my classmate."
"He looks quite young, almost catching up with my dad." Bai Banxia said.
"He has been studying for many years. I was a classmate with him in a college for half a year a few years ago, but by that time he had already passed the exam twice," said Mr. Nan.
Two times is six years. I studied for six years a few years ago, so it’s no wonder that I’m older.
"This person has been studying for many years and has not been able to pass the examination. How come he is ranked first in the examination? How come he has accumulated a lot of experience?" Bai Shengming asked without knowing why.
Mr. Nan shook his head, "I haven't seen him for a few years, so I don't know how knowledgeable he is, and I can't just say anything about it."
Everyone regarded this matter as a joke. No one believed that Wang Jian would make a special trip to the capital to complain, so they pushed him down when others were looking at the list.
If this happens, the emperor will cry. How many political affairs does he have to deal with? Will he play house with your children?
Bai Banxia still had one day to go to the clinic, so he asked Brother Erlang and the others to rest for a day, visit Xiguan City with his uncle and his wife, and then set off home the next day.
"I can't accompany you during the consultation, so let Qi Zhen take you for a walk." Bai Banxia said.
"No, no, no, let's just go look for Sister Li." The aunt is now very familiar with Aunt Li, and the uncle is also very familiar with Uncle Li, but I guess they went to look for her, and the uncle and Uncle Li stayed in the backyard of the house.
Discussing crops.
In this way, Bai Banxia went to Xuanji Hall for a consultation the next day, and finally saw Chen Rufeng, whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Are you very busy recently? I didn't meet you last time. How is your moxibustion Qi training going?" Bai Banxia asked.
Chen Rufeng shook his head and said, "There is no progress. I'm afraid I don't have the talent and I won't be able to accept you as my teacher."
"Try again. You can't practice it in a day or two, but it would be good if one of the dozens of people can practice it." Bai Banxia felt that something was wrong with his mood. It seemed that he no longer had the same desire for medical skills as before.
, a somewhat hazy feeling.
"What's wrong with you? Even if you don't have moxibustion energy, it doesn't mean you can't become a miracle doctor." Bai Banxia said.
Chen Rufeng didn't speak, then paused and suddenly said, "I'm engaged, and I plan to spend more time taking care of my wife and children after we get married. After all, my time may be limited."
"Wait!" Bai Banxia was surprised, but she also caught a big problem.
She widened her eyes and asked, "Do you have a child?"
