Chapter 173: Huiyuan
Chapter 173 Huiyuan
Author: Emei Swordsman
The sun was getting higher and higher, and with the arrival of the official appointment, the crowd outside the Gongyuan suddenly became turbulent.
"Go back! All back a little! You're all stuck here, how can we post the list?"
The officials rushed back at the top of their voices and repelled the people blocked by the courtyard wall, and then blocked everyone with their bodies as the boundary, leaving enough space for their companions posted on the list.
After the apricot list was posted, the officials were squeezed out by the crowd that rushed up in an instant, and their ears were filled with shouts:
"Let me see! Let me see! Where is my name?"
"Oh, don't squeeze, don't squeeze, I've stepped on all my shoes! At least I bent down and picked it up!"
"I'm beaten! Hahahaha... Hey, no, I read it wrong. This is not my name! Then where is my name!"
...
Xu Dong had sharp eyes and saw Gu Yunji's name on the list. He immediately shouted happily: "Three Young Master! You have won! First place in the first place!"
What? First place in the first place? He is the cousin of the examiner Gu Yuanhui. In theory, shouldn’t he lower the ranking and avoid suspicion? Why is he so high? Gu Yunji was stunned when he heard this, and was about to stand on tiptoe and take a closer look, but
He was hit by a passerby rushing around and almost fell down.
Before he could stabilize his body, he heard Xu Dong say again: "Young Master Cheng also won! The third place in the first place!"
Xu Dong followed the list from front to back and soon found Gu Yunxiao's name: "There is also the eldest young master! He won the second place in the 17th place!"
Xu Dong is not tall, but his body is extremely flexible. He jumps and looks over the shoulders of passers-by, and then steps on someone's bookcase to climb up and look into the distance. In just a while, others are still standing in the crowded crowd.
But he had already jumped up and down to see the rankings of Gu Yunji and others.
After finally standing firm, Gu Yunji finally got the opportunity to look forward, and he saw that the top of the list clearly stated: First place in the first place - Gu Yunji, a native of Songjiang Prefecture.
His eyes slowly moved downwards, and suddenly, Gu Yunji's eyes condensed and he saw the name written before Cheng Yan: the first and second place - Fang Zigui of Shuntianfu.
Fang Zigui is actually ranked above Cheng Yan, and he took the second place in the imperial examination? It seems that his strength cannot be underestimated. Since he can be ranked among the top in the imperial examination, he must be very similar in the palace examination in the future. Maybe he really wants to be with him in the future.
I looked up and saw him.
Thinking of this, Gu Yunji narrowed his eyes and his heart sank a little.
Last year, the three of them set out to take the exam from Songjiang Prefecture. Now the three of them have passed the exam together in Beijing again. Is there anything more perfect in the world than this? Xu Dong was so excited that his face turned red and he said excitedly: "Congratulations to the eldest master, congratulations to the third brother.
Young Master, congratulations to Mr. Cheng! Congratulations to the three tribute masters!”
Although he had already received news from Gu Yuanhui, he saw his name on the list with his own eyes, and Gu Yunxiao had a true feeling of being able to achieve the goal, and his heart was completely put into practice.
He slowly let out a breath, suppressed the surging tears, and his voice trembled: "Second 17th... I thought that even if I was 80% beaten, I would still be a crane, at most two hundred.
Before and after, I didn’t expect that I could have such a high ranking. In this way, I would not be ashamed of my father and mother’s teachings, and Xiuyun’s concerns day and night…”
Infected by Gu Yunxiao's emotions, Cheng Yan, who had always been quiet and restrained, had his eyes flushed. He took several deep breaths before he could barely suppress the soreness of his throat. He felt both joy and emotion in his heart, and for a moment he was mixed with emotion.
From the county test to the township test to the imperial test, I thought that Cheng Yan was a poor commoner. After several years of long study, he finally came to the list and successfully crossed the Longmen to change his destiny. In the future, he was fame, fortune and fortune, and Zhu Fu and Zi Shou,
All of them are in front of him.
Seeing Gu Yunji looking at the list without saying anything, as if he was in a daze, Xu Dong stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him: "San Young Master, what's wrong with you? I'm so happy that I can't believe it? Don't worry, the list is clear
It’s like you are the Huiyuan, you can’t make a mistake!”
Suddenly, he came back to his senses and just ran into Xu Dong's bright eyes. Gu Yunji's little dullness just now disappeared. He returned in surprise and said, "I'm not happy, I just didn't expect that I would pass the exam."
Yuan. I am avoiding candidates. It is logical that the ranking should not be so high."
Cheng Yan smiled and said, "No matter whether it is worth it or not, you are already a master. Since examiners dare to point you first, it means that they have their own considerations, so don't think so much, just like
Didn’t I expect that I got the third place in the exam?”
"That's right." Gu Yunji put aside the doubts in his mind and bowed to the two of them to express his gratitude. "Speaking of this, I haven't congratulated Cheng Yan and my elder brother yet. Congratulations to you for winning the tribute."
Gu Yunxiao and Cheng Yan smiled and replied: "Congratulations to third brother/Yun Ji High School Huiyuan."
Just as the three of them were celebrating each other, Fan Fushang clapped his hands in excitement among the crowd in the distance: "Looking at how they look, they should have all hit it. My vision is indeed good!"
"What is the one I chose? Cheng Yan? It seems to be Chen Yan? Is his surname Cheng or Chen?" Fan Fushang pricked his ears and determined it carefully, but he couldn't hear it clearly, "Brother Sun,
You have a good look, please help me see how many names Cheng Yan has obtained... Hey, Brother Sun?"
Fan Fushang said something for a long time, but turned around and found that Sun Fushang had disappeared for a long time, and was probably dispersed by the crowd. He had been paying attention to Cheng Yan's actions just now, but he didn't realize that there was no one around him.
Looking for someone around, Fan Fushang couldn't help but worry: "I have a bad look and can't see the face of the scholar named Cheng Yan. He looks like the figure of the servant next to him. I will admit my mistake later.
What should I do?"
In a state of anxiety, Fan Fushang could only place his hope on his follower: "Do you remember what he looks like?"
The entourage subconsciously shrank his head and said with a embarrassed smile: "Go back to the master, I've been distracted before. I just watched the magicians there, but I didn't pay much attention..."
"Master, don't be anxious first!" Seeing that Fan Fusheng seemed to be angry, the follower quickly added, "Didn't you say that he only looks like the one next to him? You just need to keep an eye on them and see who will you see later.
If you didn’t take the servant, wouldn’t it be that?”
"And even if you can't see your face clearly, you can tell from the color of your clothes. Look, the one who takes the servant is wearing a light blue dress, and the one next to him - the scholar you like is wearing a blue dress.
, it's quite easy to distinguish."
Fan Fushang narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction pointed by the follower for a while, and found that it was indeed the case. So he nodded with satisfaction and said confidently: "Okay, then I'll stare at this person wearing blue clothes."
