The three rural exams are over, and most of August has passed.
However, candidates who have participated in the rural examination generally do not leave, and have to wait for the results to be released in early September.
The time for the release of the rankings is not fixed, but it is usually released before the tenth day of September, which means that candidates will have to wait for more than half a month.
During this period of time, you can often see groups of scholars haunting restaurants and teahouses everywhere, and naturally there are quite a few brothels. They stayed up all night, singing and singing every night, as if they were in a state of last madness.
Xue Tingxiang fell ill after leaving the examination room after the third test.
It was also the rainy days in those days, even though he had prepared enough, he still caught a cold. During this period, I didn't mention lying down and recuperating, and Yue Budian also came to visit Xue Tingxiang specially.
By the time Xue Tingxiang recovered from his illness, it was already September.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the list. When it came, even if they knew that the list would have to be released tomorrow, all the test-takers were very excited.
There were even many people who went to the Gongyuan to find out the news. Mao Badou thought that Xue Tingyuan had not been out in the room for many days, so he wanted to take him with him, but he refused.
Knowing that there is nothing to find out, it is not in vain to go, it is better to wait for the day tomorrow.
On the second day, people from Beilu Academy dressed in new clothes and prepared to go out early in the morning. Lin Miao didn't plan to go. He saw many joys and sorrows before Gui Bang, so he didn't plan to join in the fun this time.
When Xue Tingxiang and a few people arrived at Gongyuan, the streets of Gongyuan were already crowded with people.
The needle can't be inserted, the water can't be splashed, even with Mao Badou's skills, he can only sigh.
"Well, let's go back. Just squeeze in like this, and you won't die without peeling."
So all the people had to go back.
After returning home, Lin Miao saw that the students were all slumped, and he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling: "Just wait." If it really hits, you don't need to go to know that it's the good news, and it will come.
After a while, Yue Budian also came.
Judging from his appearance, he seemed to have also gone to the Gongyuan, but he didn't squeeze in and turn back.
"Why didn't you go? It's okay for people like me not to go. You should join in the fun."
Yue Budian also knew that Xue Tingxiang and others were taking part in the township exam for the first time, and Leng Touqing, who came off for the first time, was always full of confidence.
"Didn't Brother Yue also go?"
Yue Budian laughed and scratched his head: "I don't care, I don't have much hope anyway."
"Brother Yue shouldn't say that, since your talents will be selected sooner or later, it's better not to be discouraged."
Yue Budian laughed and didn't speak, and Xue Tingxiang naturally wouldn't say more.
The room was too stuffy, so a few people went to sit in the lobby of the inn together. There were many scholars like them, and most of them couldn't squeeze in and turned back to wait for the good news.
People come and go on the street, and there is a restless atmosphere in the air. They are all drinking tea and talking and laughing, but their eyes are looking out the door intentionally or unintentionally.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a sound of gongs and drums coming from afar, accompanied by a burst of restlessness.
Because it was too far away, I couldn't hear it clearly. After a while, I heard someone say who was the winner, and the person who announced the good news came to ask for the reward.
Everyone was talking about it, even the ordinary people in the past, who seemed to be equally happy for the person in the middle.
There was another sound of gongs and drums, as well as the crackling of firecrackers, and the unbearable scholar had already left the door, and after a while, he returned to discuss with his friends how the man in Zhongju was.
It seems that Taiyuan City is extremely small today. After the two bursts of gongs and drums, the next one is one after another, which is endless. It's no wonder that people come here because of the crowds of inns, and they are not far from the Gongyuan, and there are also the most test-takers living here.
There was a sound of gongs and drums entering the street, as if the layer of membrane between the human ears was suddenly lifted off, and everything became extremely clear.
As the movement got closer and closer, the people sitting in the lobby were all apprehensive, and some people couldn't help but stick their heads out and look forward to it, until the announcement team stopped in front of the inn.
A festive man in red clothes strode in from the door with a smile on his face: "Good news, Mr. He Bichuan He from Qingyuan County is the forty-second place in the Shanxi Township Examination in the sixth year of Jiacheng County. ."
"I got hit?" With this voice, a short and thin middle-aged man in a grade of about forty years old fell from the chair with a plop. Faster than he fell, he jumped up again in a split second.
It's no exaggeration to say that he was dancing. He limped in front of Bao Xiren and asked, "I've won? My surname is He, and my name is Bi Chuan. Is it really me that I've won?"
The good news said: "If you are Master He Bichuan He, then you have won."
"I am He Bichuan, I am He Bichuan..."
The people who were sitting at the same table with him all stepped forward to congratulate him: "Congratulations to Brother He."
"congratulations."
"Ten years of hard work in the cold window, and finally it's not in vain."
Here, Xue Tingxiang and the others looked at He Bichuan with a wry smile, not only feeling that he was ridiculous, but also having a feeling of empathy.
If it were them, I'm afraid it wouldn't be much better than him.
"This person is also in his early days." Yue Budian said.
"Not so."
"On such a festive day, it's not enough to drink tea and not drink. Dude, bring some wine."
The guy who had been standing on the side watching the excitement, went to get the wine in a hurry, and waited for the good news to be sent away, and he also drank it here.
Not only Yue Budian drank, but Xue Tingxiang and several others also poured it for himself. It seems that drinking can suppress the restlessness in his heart.
The entire lobby is extremely lively, but the center point is all around Na He Bi Chuan. After ten years of hard study in the cold window, today's one day is in the middle of the day, which is also in line with the scenery of others.
The scenery!
After that, the good news came repeatedly, but it didn't stop in front of the inn, but the liveliness outside never stopped.
The more lively it is outside, the more likely it is to represent oneself in the middle lift, and many scholars have lost their mentality. Some are also coming to drink and drink it by themselves, some are sarcastic, and some are already planning to have lunch.
For example, Xue Tingxiang et al.
Their actions also seem to remind other college students who are waiting for the results, it is really boring to sit like this all the time, so let's find something to do.
The guys in the inn were busy again, ordering and serving food next to each table, drinking and talking while everyone ate. It seems that there is no time to spare, but in fact, they are a little uneasy.
There was another sound of gongs and drums. By this time, no one would seem too excited, but just at this moment, the good news stopped at the door of the inn.
"Good news, Mr. Liu Changyan, Leping County, is happy to be the 21st place in the Shanxi Township Examination in the sixth year of Jiacheng."
Liu Changyan stood up, he was from Beilu Academy.
"Congratulations, Brother Liu, congratulations."
Liu Changyan couldn't help laughing a few times, then stepped forward and took out a silver tael as a reward. This money is absolutely indispensable. If the reward is too small, I am afraid that the next day, there will be news that so-and-so has won the prize, but is extremely stingy.
Next, Beilu Academy seemed to open up, and three good news were sent to them.
Others do not know that they are from the same academy, and they are all envious of them as they walk together. Some people even said that the yard they lived in had good feng shui. There were only a few places in total, and they had already occupied four of them.
After that, it seemed that their words were verified, and another good news came, this time it was actually from Mao Badou.
Don't look at Mao Badou's ambitious appearance, in fact, he didn't expect that he would be able to win.
Actually hit.
When this fellow laughed at others just now, he laughed very well, but now it is his turn, and he is no better than others. The words were not smooth, and the reward was even forgotten. In the end, Xue Tingxiang came forward to help him with the reward.
"Okay, okay, just sit down quickly, you can't help it anymore, just go back to the house and laugh for a while?"
"I'm going to announce the good news to the teacher."
Li Datian grabbed him and said, "Come on, don't go anywhere, just sit."
In fact, rather than saying that Xue Tingxiang and the four were waiting for their own happiness, it would be better to say that they were for Lin Miao. They are still young, whether they are in the middle or not, even if they may feel sad in their hearts, they will come back in three years. But Lin Miao has already taken the test many times, if he fails this time.
In the time that followed, everyone was heartbroken.
Already registered in the top 20, and the higher the ranking, the higher the ranking. There are those who know their own level, probably know that they will not be able to reach the front, and they are dejected and sighed repeatedly.
And Beilu Academy opened a few in a row, and then it died down again, and it was not until the end of the day that another one came.
This time it was Chen Jian.
"Good news, Xia County Chen Jian, Mr. Chen, is pleased to be the fifth place in the Shanxi Township Examination in the sixth year of Jiacheng."
"Ajian, congratulations."
After a while of congratulations, the good news was sent away, and the candidates who were waiting have all returned to their rooms. Already in fifth place.
Wujingkui, they are not the ones who can win.
"Ting Yan, you can definitely get in," Chen Jian said.
Xue Tingxiang smiled and said nothing.
Wujingkui, if there is no Wu and Chen family, he is sure. But now-
Don't look at Xue Tingxiang's performance of calm and self-control all the time, but in fact he is very unpredictable. He even prepared for the worst. If she doesn't pass, she will go back to her hometown to study, just to be able to accompany Zhao'er in the gap, so as not to go to the capital to take the exam by herself, as in her dream, and leave her at home alone.
Thinking of this, my heart sank.
Just then, the good news came again.
"Good news, Mr. Yue Bu Dian, Yangqu County, is pleased to be the third place in the Shanxi Township Examination in the sixth year of Jiacheng."
Yue Budian, who had been drinking suffocatingly, suddenly raised his head, his eyes were drunk, but there was a very bright light.
"Brother Yue, congratulations."
Everyone here is celebrating, and the sound of gongs and drums outside the door came again.
At this time, even the owner of the inn couldn't bear it anymore, standing beside the door, his mouth was about to bloom.
What kind of luck is he? He has won seven in an inn. Presumably, his store will be crowded out next time in the township test.
"Good news, Mr. Lin Miao Lin from Xia County is delighted to be Ya Yuan, the second place in the Shanxi Township Exam in the sixth year of Jiacheng."
"Teacher, teacher..." Mao Badou let out a whimper, and ran to the back. Lin Miao walked out before leaving the lobby.
I saw that his clothes were fluttering, and he had the style of a generation of great Confucianism.
"What a panic."
"Teacher, you got hit."
Lin Miao nodded and walked up to talk to the good news.
subelement, but only this solution element exists.
The scholars who had returned to the house a long time ago felt sad, but now they heard that there were even three Wujing Kui in the inn, so they couldn't help running out to watch the fun. Seeing that this teacher and student are in the same middle, the teacher is still Ya Yuan, and they approached each other, wanting to know how sacred this Ya Yuan is, and actually taught two tricks.
They regarded Yue Budian as a student of Lin Miao.
The lobby was extremely lively, and even people from other inns came, wanting to see Ya Yuan's demeanor.
Xue Tingyan, who was standing by the side, smiled, and Chen Jian, who had been looking at him, said, "Tingyan, don't..."
He wanted to say don't be sad, but this kind of word really doesn't go with Xue Tingxiang, a thousand words, and finally turned into one sentence: "You are also unlucky, the draft was wet in the first game, and the rain number in the next two games, After the exam, I came back with a serious illness. If I don’t pass this time, I will take the exam again next time, 10,000…”
He was a little incoherent. Chen Jian was not as talkative as Mao Badou, nor was he as good at words as Xue Tingyan. He was not good at words and usually didn't talk much. At this time, when he comforted people, he wanted to hide his face and sigh.
"Okay, Ah Jian, I know what you want to say, I'm fine."
"That's fine." Chen Jian smiled relievedly. He knew that Ting Yan was not the kind of person who cares too much about gains and losses. With his ability, it was really unfortunate that God didn't open his eyes this time.
Lin Miao finally finished dealing with a group of scholars who came to get close, and walked over.
He looked outside the door, and it had been a while since the announcement of the second place. The sound of beating and beating could not be heard again, which means that the scholars of Zhongjieyuan were not here.
He looked at Xue Tingxiang, the student who gave him the most hope, remembering the disasters and calamities he experienced in the rural exam, he couldn't help sighing and patted him on the shoulder: "Tingxiang, don't be sentimental, in the teacher's heart , you should be the talent of Jie Yuan."
"Thank you teacher for your relief, I didn't hit this time, next time I will come again, student..."
At this moment, there seemed to be a faint movement.
It's different from the previous one, it seems to be more noisy, you can hear the sound of blowing and beating, and there are cheers, all kinds of mixed together, together into a sound wave.
"What is this doing?"
Just as he was talking, a lion dancer appeared in front of the door. The five lively lions are rolling and bowing, all of which are naive and hilarious. The drummers beat the leather drums hanging from their bodies with all their might, and the same goes for the gongs and chirps, making bursts of noise.
It was the sound of firecrackers and the clamor again. It was so close for a while, but I couldn't hear the people around me.
"Which one is this auspicious? You really know how to choose a date."
"Why did you choose to make trouble here, boss, isn't this hindering your family's business?"
The innkeeper was smiling all over his face and his eyes were shining brightly. He seemed to say something, but no one could hear him clearly. The guy is also talking, but unfortunately he can only see his mouth move.
At this moment, the lions suddenly separated, and they all took the pose of a hydrangea. A man dressed in bright red and short brown with a red scarf on his head trotted forward.
After the sound of firecrackers and the sound of loud noises, I heard him congratulate him loudly: "Good news, Mr. Xue Tingxiang, Huyang Township, Xia County, is happy to be the first place in the Shanxi Township Examination in the sixth year of Jiacheng, Jie Yuan!"
"Ting Yan, Ting Yan!"
"Ting Yuan, you've been hit!"
Xue Tingxiang was held in front of the people and looked at the scene in a daze, but thought to himself how much money he had to give to satisfy these people. Tomorrow, the newly appointed Master Xie Yuan is too stingy, he is just a stingy cock.
…
In the end, Xue Tingxiang took out all the money on his body, and Mao Badou and others gathered some more before sending the good news away.
Since people have set up such a big battle, they are here to announce the good news and add glory to you. You are too stingy. Don't think that these are all free gifts, they are all for money.
However, the money was well spent, and because of this movement, half of the people in Taiyuan City were attracted. Change it to anyone, even if the family goes bankrupt.
In fact, this is just a routine that is used to report good luck every time the township exam is released.
Jie Yuan, the first place, how can you do it without making some tricks.
The owner of the inn knew it before, but unfortunately there was too much movement, and no one heard that he was actually saying that this was to announce the good news to Master Xie Yuan.
A list was released, and the ups and downs were all seen. The middle person cheered and the middle person was sad. There are also big men who cry like a tearful man, and even get drunk and go crazy.
Among the four sons in Qingyuan, Mao Badou was all won, but Li Datian was the only one who missed it, which is also a pity.
Li Datian needs to try his best to explain that he is not as sad as others think. There is a bit of loss. After all, the four of them passed the county, prefecture, and hospital three tests together, and now they came to the township test, but they left him alone.
Maybe it was expected before the end of the game, and I knew that I had a few pounds and a few taels. I really didn't hit it, but it wasn't too surprising.
On the other hand, Mao Badou broke out a big upset. Even Lin Miao didn't expect him to win. This may be that once a person has a goal, he can burst into infinite potential.
Afterwards, Li Datian also joked that it seems that he should also find someone he likes.
This is naturally for Mao Badou. Mao Badou once said at the beginning that he must win, to prove that he is more capable than that Li, and it is time to ask Lin Yanran for a kiss, so that she can save face. That's enough.
He himself thought so, and it was unknown what Lin Yanran thought, or even how Lin Miao thought.
