A week later, Kyushu was in an uproar.
Logically speaking, the results of the test paper would have appeared two weeks ago, but now, after two weeks of delay and no movement, all the students are in commotion.
On this day, Zhang Meng, who had long forgotten about the college entrance examination, suddenly heard on the radio a notice from the governor of Southeast Prefecture to all counties:
"Within three days, the heads of all counties will go to the Huangpu Prefecture Government Office for a meeting. The results of the college entrance examination for each county will be announced. No lateness or absence is allowed."
After hearing this announcement, Zhang Meng calculated the distance to Huangpu County, screamed strangely, and shouted:
"Quick, prepare fast horses quickly. One hundred horses are on standby. Escort me to Huangpu. Bring dry food and drinking water and set off immediately."
"Hurry up!"
"What the hell, if you're late, I'll ask all of you."
“…”
Zhang Meng was so depressed that he still had to go to the meeting. It was none of my business.
Even on a horse, walking in the dust is still full of complaints. Why should I go to Huangpu? To be humiliated
Who doesn't know that there were two candidates in Hangcheng County this year, one died on the way, and the other said he didn't do well in the exam. I thought that everything was over. The college entrance examination scores of these counties had something to do with me, so I still insisted on calling myself to Huangpu for a meeting. This was just to call me as a foil and to be humiliated.
The same goes for the governor, he's out of his mind. Hangcheng County is so far away from Huangpu, and we have a three-day time limit to get there. No sleep along the way? No rest? If people don’t rest, horses must rest. I'm sick.
The horse is running fast, and the dust is falling. It took two and a half days to get there quickly and slowly.
When Zhang Meng jumped off his horse, his legs stepped on the solid ground and he collapsed. Weakly, he picked up the water and took a sip, then turned around and ordered: "Go to the state and county reception office to rest, I'm going to report."
'yes'
More than a hundred soldiers also weakly agreed and led their horses away.
No one dares to put their legs together when walking.
After riding for two days and driving crazily day and night, the inner thighs were full of blisters. We were walking in such a hurry that we forgot to bring mattresses to put on the saddles, and our thighs rubbed hard against the hard saddle for two and a half days. This was simply a form of torture.
Zhang Meng walked into the state government office to report, and saw many colleagues walking in feebly. He even saw Wang Jixiang, the princess of Jiahe County.
On the day the announcement came out on the radio, Wang Jixiang was hunting outside. It was only a day after he received the news. Upon hearing the report, Wang Jixiang was so frightened that he ran away. He didn't even bother to go back to Jiahe County, so he went crazy and ran to Huangpu County. He was even worse off than Zhang Meng, who could still sleep for a few hours at night after all.
Wang Jixiang, on the other hand, was completely afraid to even land on the ground, and kept riding horses all day and night. There were more than 70 people in total and more than 100 horses were exhausted before they arrived at Huangpu County.
When the two met, each snorted coldly, and neither of them paid any attention to the other.
Many colleagues sat in the reception room of the state government office to drink tea. After a few drinks, many princesses fell asleep.
This time is too urgent, everyone is tired and everyone is rushing. I have never received such a strong order before. I must arrive within three days. This is simply torture.
Zhang Meng fell asleep and felt the chair swaying on his back, so he simply took off his shoes and moved two chairs together to sleep on.
When the other princesses saw that Zhang Meng was so comfortable and following his example, they all found their own places to sleep.
I am really tired. Princesses are all pampered. Who has ever been so tired
Everyone didn't have time to talk. Anyway, every princess knew what the situation was. Even if you don’t know everything. At least, you can roughly guess what the situation is in your own county.
The outcome has been decided, and there is no need for the princess to worry or be surprised at all.
Those who deserve praise will be praised, and those who deserve humiliation will be humiliated. Everyone is free and easy.
The same goes for Zhang Meng. Hangcheng County has not produced a college student in twenty years, and it is not less than one year more than this year. Let’s criticize where necessary. Since he took office as the Princess of Hangcheng ten years ago, he would go to Huangpu County every year to accept criticism from his superiors and humiliation from his colleagues.
Just get used to it.
"well!"
With a sigh, Zhang Meng fell asleep as soon as he could. He didn't care about you so much.
The other princesses are also big-hearted people, and most of them have fallen asleep.
It is Wang Jixiang of Jiahe County who is restless. He just took office this year, so he is naturally very nervous. He was sitting there alone, his face turning green and white at times:
"Jiahe County is a large county. In previous years, the admission rate of candidates was second in the southeastern state and Huangpu County was first."
"I just took office this year. If I am gone...how will I explain to my father?"
"The agreement was that I would come to Jiahe County to be gilded and return to Balong City to serve as an official at the feet of the Emperor in three years. If I lose this year, wouldn't it mean that I have drawn a line of thick ink on my white paper?"
"What should we do? Where is our rank in Jiahe County? It shouldn't be very miserable, right? Sigh. What should we do?"
“…”
The other princesses are all old-timers and have done nothing but good things. Wang Jixiang is a new official, and what new officials fear most is that their political performance is not as good as the previous one. If you just came to be the princess, you wouldn't have to worry so much, but it's different for someone like him who came to be a gilded princess.
If someone catches him by his braid in the future and makes an issue out of it, Wang Jixiang will have a drink.
Other new officials may not be as good as their predecessors, but he cannot.
A man sat there talking to himself, looking uneasy. The other princesses were sleeping heartlessly, and Wang Jixiang felt quite pathetic.
At this time, followed by two clerks, the Governor of Southeast Prefecture strode in. Looking at the sleeping princesses in the room, he couldn't help but frown.
Wang Jixiang quickly shouted in a pretentious manner: "The governor is here!"
There was a roar like thunder, but it didn't stir up any waves.
Everyone is just a loser, doing what they should and never paying attention to officialdom. Hearing this cry, everyone frowned impatiently, then yawned and sat up.
It was not what Wang Jixiang imagined. As soon as the governor arrived, everyone immediately got ready in a panic.
After all, it's all meat on the hob. Anyway, the governor only asked to arrive within three days. As long as he's not late, that's fine. The governor didn't say anything else, and he never cared about trivial matters.
Seeing that everyone was awake, the governor said: "Look at each of you, what do you look like? You, who allowed you to be shirtless? Put on my clothes!"
A princess sighed and put her official uniform on her body casually.
The governor was indeed a person who didn't care about trivial matters. Seeing that everyone was up and awake, he found a place to sit down, cleared his throat and said:
"We are summoned here this time to announce the college entrance examination results of each county."
There was silence, no one answered.
The governor glanced at Zhang Meng and asked, "What do you think of Hangcheng County?"
Zhang Meng sighed inwardly, okay, he was going to be humiliated again. Forget it, it has been like this for ten years anyway, and I have long been used to it.
"Hangcheng County...it's not bad."
"What do you mean by saying this? What do you mean by okay?" The governor frowned coldly.
"I don't know either. After all, the results haven't come out yet and I'm not a candidate. I don't know what results they can get."
There was a smile in the governor's eyes: "Them? Don't pretend to be confused with me, he is who he is, return it to them."
"Ha ha ha ha."
The room immediately burst into laughter. Everyone had heard that only two people from Hangcheng County applied for the exam this year, and one of them was absent. Only one person took the college entrance examination.
Humiliating. There is only one candidate in a county.
PS: Some readers think my updates are slow. Alas, it would be better for me to have two a day, 12 noon and 6 pm, they are on time.
Before it was put on the shelves, everyone updated it twice a day.
In addition, the author works part-time and has his own job.
I work in the township government of Los Angeles. As you all know, being a civil servant is actually quite tiring. Especially the secretaries around leaders like me work from 9 to 5. Johnson, our township head, loves to boss me around and show off his authority. He has to run errands for him all day long and help him nurse his children. In addition, in a cosmopolitan and charming city like Los Angeles, there are various approval documents that require my signature every day.
Only before I go to bed every day can I brace myself up and write something.
Alas, I feel tired talking about it. In two days, the leadership team of the municipal party committee in New York will visit our grassroots level and come to our township to learn the greenhouse cultivation technology of carrots and the advanced scientific management model... Johnson, our mayor, has given me the reception work again. I was responsible for entertaining the delegation from New York.
The first two updates were a bit sparse. Everyone... please forgive me.
