Although the tainted Wang Yusheng is now extremely emotionally unstable, his IQ is still online and he did not rush in and yell.
If he did that, everyone present would know about this "scandal" about him.
He just walked back to Lin Tailai with a sullen face and asked in a low voice: "How can a human being be like this?"
At this time, Lin Tailai only had three other classmates from the Fu School around him, all of whom were old classmates, and Wang Yusheng was not afraid of being heard.
"What's wrong with me?" Lin Tailai asked in confusion.
Wang Yu said through gritted teeth: "Xueshi Huang said that I should thank you for winning the exam!"
Lin Tailai denied it without changing his expression, "I didn't do anything. I have nothing to do with you winning the election."
Wang Yusheng didn't believe Lin Tailai at all, "Stop pretending. Huang Xuesheng said it himself, how can it be false?"
Lin Daguan said extremely helplessly: "Let me say it again, I have nothing to do with you winning the election. Why don't you believe me?"
He finally told the truth once, but others still refused to believe him.
"With your character, you are completely capable of doing such a thing, just to suppress me from now on!" Wang Yusheng has already seen through the truth!
Nowadays, there are more people coming to propose a toast to Academician Huang. Several other students from the Fu School have not gone to propose a toast, so I don’t know what Academician Huang will say.
But after listening to a few conversations between Wang Yusheng and Lin Tailai, I gradually understood what was going on——
Previously, although Wang Yusheng was forced by the situation, he had always been convinced by Lin Tailai, but Lin Tailai became more energetic and insisted on convincing Wang Yusheng.
Therefore, during this provincial examination, Lin Tailai deliberately used force secretly to help Wang Yusheng open his joints and forcibly showed favor to Wang Yusheng.
Then Wang Yusheng, who was ridiculed for showing great kindness, would have to be subordinate to others in the future.
As Lin Tailai and Wang Yusheng's common friends, they could only take this matter as a joke at this time.
It would be like hundreds of years from now in a college dormitory where roommates force each other to be dads.
No wonder Lin Tailai pretended to be hurt and heartbroken after being ridiculed by Wang Yusheng just now. It turned out that he was waiting here.
Seeing Wang Yu's reluctance, Lin Tailai sighed deeply, "I'm convinced, you can think whatever you want! How can such a trivial matter be taken seriously?"
Wang Yusheng scolded: "What do you mean by a trivial matter? You are ruining my chance to live a pure life!"
"No! No!" Other classmates who had had enough fun quickly pretended to persuade Wang Yu.
Wang Hao's direct great-grandson, the leader of the younger generation of the Wang family in Dongshan, and the most noble son in the imperial family, seemed to be quite impressed that he was inferior to them since then.
"Winning the exam is not a bad thing after all. No matter whether the candidate cheated or not, there is actually no difference in the end!"
"Brother Wang, don't worry, we people will not look down on you because of this!"
After hearing the "well-intentioned" advice from others, Wang Yusheng became even more upset and couldn't leave even though he wanted to.
Nowadays, living in Shilin requires attention to the circle, and it is impossible for him to abandon this fellow villager. The circle of classmates and classmates is no longer necessary. This is his basic foundation for living in Shilin.
Official Lin did not add insult to injury to Wang Yusheng, but pointed to the chairperson and said to the classmates:
"There are not many people there with Academician Huang. Why don't you hurry up and make a toast? Don't lose your etiquette!"
Among the five people who passed the examination at Suzhou Fufu School, Jin Shiheng, Chen Yunjian, and Shen Jue, the three who had not yet had a toast, all went to see Huang Xueshi first.
At the same time, they were also thinking about continuing to "comfort" Wang Yusheng when they came back after the toast.
Not long after, the three people came back from Huang Xueshi's side, but Chen Yunjian and Shen Jue's expressions were very stiff.
They stood in front of Lin Tailai in silence and stared at Lin Tailai in silence.
Lin Tailai asked "confused": "Why don't you talk?"
What else can Chen Yunjian and Shen Jue say? After watching Wang Yusheng’s fun for a long time, it turns out that they themselves are also having fun!
Jin Shiheng explained to Wang Yusheng: "Huang Xueshi just said that the two of them should also thank Lin Tailai."
Damn it! Wang Yusheng suddenly felt that the weather had cleared up and the rain had stopped, and he could do it again!
In fact, it doesn’t seem to be that uncomfortable. If the thought is clear, it will be clear.
Wang Yusheng was even in a mood to comfort Chen Yunjian and Shen Jue, "Winning the examination is not a bad thing after all. Regardless of whether the candidate cheated or not, there is actually no difference in the end!"
Chen and Shen Er finally had no choice but to look up to the sky and sigh, "This has come to this, what else can be done?"
Don’t you want to give up the honor of being a civil servant? You know, the passing rate in the Nanzhili Township Examination is less than 3%. Who can guarantee that he will pass the exam?
Fortunately, if your friends "suffer" with you, then it will be fine.
At this time, Chen Yunjian suddenly remembered something and said slowly: "Among the five of us, there is an outsider."
Upon hearing these words, most people looked at Jin Shiheng.
Among the four people except Lin Tailai, the only one who Huang Xueshi did not say "should thank Lin Tailai" was Jin Shiheng.
If everyone has fallen, then the only one who has not fallen will become a heretic!
Jin Shiheng's brain was running wildly, and he suddenly turned around and asked: "Lin Tailai! You also helped me, why didn't you tell me?"
Lin Tailai: "???"
Isn't the inside story of why you won the election because your father became the chief assistant? Why do you need Lin Tailai's "help"?
Jin Shiheng said seriously: "You must have secretly helped me open my joints so that I could lift, but you were too embarrassed to say it openly."
"This is really not true." Lin Tailai said sincerely, he did not want to take the credit of the first assistant.
Jin Shiheng said without any doubt: "This is possible. I will also admit it to others."
When your friends are not clean, it is best not to be so clean yourself.
The ancients said it well, the world is turbid, why not go with its flow and make waves? Everyone is drunk, why not feed the dregs and sip the wine?
We are no longer students, we have all become masters of public education, and we can no longer be willful like teenagers.
Just as the students at Suzhou Fu School had prepared themselves mentally to be inferior to others, a catfish suddenly swam over.
"Does Lin Jieyuan have a number?" Zhou Yingqiu came closer at some point and suddenly intervened to ask.
Scholars in this era actually don't like to use names or words to address each other, and most of the time they address each other by nicknames.
For example, the leader of the alliance, Mr. Wang, is now called the Shanren of Yanzhou, and others are called Wang Yanzhou or the Duke of Yanzhou.
Speaking of Lin Tailai's nickname, it seems that he has not given a formal nickname so far. The most widely circulated Jinbu is actually an informal nickname, not an elegant nickname.
Zhou Yingqiu sighed: "If Lin Jieyuan doesn't have a formal title, it would be extremely inconvenient for scholars to call him Lin Jieyuan. Can't he always be called Lin Jieyuan?"
Others didn't understand for a moment what Zhou Yingqiu meant when he suddenly said this. Did he want to give Lin Tailai a nickname?
But the biggest question is, is Zhou Yingqiu worthy?
However, Lin Tailai did not blame Zhou Yingqiu for his offense. Instead, he took the initiative and asked: "Then what suggestions do you have?"
Zhou Yingqiu said eloquently: "Lin Jieyuan previously won three points in a row in the martial arts department. Unfortunately, there is no formal county examination and road test in the martial arts department, and the most he can get is three points.
At the same time, you have the liberal arts county examination, the government examination, and the road examination, which are also three yuan, plus the martial arts examination, the total is six yuan.
Now that I have passed the Liberal Arts Provincial Examination, the total is seven yuan!"
Lin Tailai: "???"
I'll give you a chance to perform and help you think of a number. Why are you here retelling the glorious history of my imperial examination?
Then I heard Zhou Yingqiu summarizing: "Lin Jieyuan's ability in both civil and military affairs is rare in ancient times, so he might as well use the number of Yuan as his number.
Now that you have seven yuan for civil and military affairs, you can call it seven yuan. If there is another winner in the imperial examination next year, we will increase it to eight yuan or nine yuan!"
Lin Tailai sighed: "I personally feel that nine yuan sounds the best. Of course, it depends on your fate. You can't force it."
This is Lin Daguan's sincere words. It's enough if you can get a Jinshi title, and your ranking is not important.
The students from Suzhou Prefecture looked deeply at Zhou Yingqiu and couldn't help but feel a great sense of crisis.
Of course, not all people of the same age can be so harmonious. For example, Lin Daguan and the Wuxi Gang must hate each other.
When one hundred and thirty-five new imperial examination candidates competed with each other for drinks based on region or school, some incidents occurred.
Xue Fujiao and Ye Maocai, two of the Eight Gentlemen of Donglin in another time and space, were both successful candidates in this subject.
Lin Daguan drank a little too much and mocked Xue and Ye: "You two will definitely win the Jinshi next year, right?"
Xue Fujiao responded in disgust: "What do you mean?"
Lin Tailai looked around and said: "In the fourteenth year of Wanli, Gu Xiancheng's younger brother Gu Yuncheng and his disciple An Xifanzhong became Jinshi. Next year it will be your turn and Gao Panlongzhong's Jinshi!"
