Chapter 386: Successful Examination (Part 1)

The white horse passes by, the sun and moon shine.

The most important day soon came.

Although Aunt Wei hasn't arrived in Bianjing yet, the day of publishing the list has come first.



Shengfu.

Except for Sheng Hong and Sheng Changbai who had to go to the office as usual and could not stay at home, the rest of the Sheng family stayed at home as much as possible, waiting for news about Sheng Changquan.

However, Sheng Changfeng couldn't stay in the house any longer, so he ran out early in the morning, saying that he wanted to find out information for his seventh brother, to which everyone was speechless.

Of course, as to whether it is just inquiring about information or inquiring about information by the way, there are other opinions.

Except for him, everyone else was "obediently" staying in the house, anxiously and "quietly" waiting for the news ahead.

However, some people are really worried about Sheng Changquan, while others are cursing secretly behind their backs, hoping that bad news will be sent to them, and it is best that Sheng Changquan fails the exam and cannot even find a name.

However, Sheng Changquan himself behaved quite "calmly" and just followed a group of his friends out to a tavern near Zhangbang to wait for the news.

What no one knows is that Xu Changqing has not appeared since yesterday...



Outside Tung Wah Street.

In a rather elegant tavern, there was a lively atmosphere and a lively atmosphere.

In the past, only half of the seats could be filled, but today it was full, and all the tables were filled with people.

There were even some students from poor families who had no seats, standing not far from the door, constantly looking out.

Obviously, they are waiting for the results to be released.

However, these poor students did not just stand there like this. The waiters in the tavern had already prepared benches, tea, and even some free drinks for them to drink.

Although these drinks are not expensive, they are genuine and are common drinks that ordinary people are reluctant to buy.

Of course, this was a special order from the tavern keepers. After all, no one knows whether a golden phoenix will fly out of this chicken coop. If a student is successful, this tavern will naturally be considered a good partner.

I have to say, this businessman is really good at leasing.

However, there are occasionally some greedy lazy people among this group of students. They wear ill-fitting Confucian clothes and pretend to look around. They are pretending to be on the list, but they are actually eating and drinking.

However, today is an unusual day after all, so the shopkeepers are too lazy to pay attention to them. As long as they don't cause conflicts with the real students, they will let them take advantage.

Unlike these people, Sheng Changquan and the others had reserved their seats in advance.

At this time, Sheng Changquan was sitting in a seat by the window, holding a glass of sake in his hand, looking leisurely at the crowd outside the window with a carefree and indifferent expression.

Around him were the four good brothers who had visited Sheng Mansion last time - Niu Xingwen, Liu Renyuan, Lian Zhuo and Shen Li.

"Chang Quan, are you really so indifferent?"

Among the few people, Liu In-won is the most impatient.

At this time, he was the first to say: "Even if you can win this time, aren't you worried that someone will rob you of... Jie Yuan?"

At the end of the sentence, Liu Renyuan couldn't help but look to the left and right, and his voice became softer unconsciously.

After all, we are outside, so some things cannot be said carelessly. If someone hears you, it will be bad.

What's more, from the beginning to the end, Sheng Changquan never said wildly that he must be Jieyuan. This Jieyuan was actually just something Liu Renyuan and the others said in a joke.

Of course, this is not entirely a joke. Liu Renyuan and the others still believe in whether Sheng Changquan can become Jieyuan.

After all, several people were extremely convinced of his writing skills. If he failed, they would not be convinced.

"Yes, Chang Quan, are you really not in a hurry?"

Hearing this, Shen Li and the others couldn't help but speak, and at the same time they all turned their attention to him.

Because they were outside, the words of the few people did not have the same sense of solemnity as last time, and they became more casual and cordial with each other.

Speaking of which, although they were said to be in the same year, only Liu Renyuan and Sheng Changquan actually took the capital examination, and the other three returned to their ancestral places to take the examination.

As for why these three did not wait until the local government released the results, it was because these people knew very well.

Except for Shen Li, the other two people knew that it was unlikely that they would win the exam this time, and this return to hometown exam was just for another fight in the coming year.

No matter what, they have to familiarize themselves with the process for the future.

As for the situation of Shen Li, it can only be understood and cannot be explained.

Although Niu Xingwen and the others felt a little uncomfortable, they couldn't blame them harshly. After all, they had different backgrounds, and some things were just as they should be. They had long been used to it, but in the past, they were the ones who were envied.

Shen Li himself was aware of this, but for his own sake and his family's sake, he had no choice but to accept it. But out of shame, he did not want to wait in his hometown, so he simply returned to Beijing.

"Haha, isn't there nothing I can do?"

"At this time, the list must have come out. What difference does it make whether I am in a hurry or not?"

Sensing the strange atmosphere between the few people, Sheng Changquan simply joked: "And!"

He looked at the students outside, shook his head deliberately and sighed: "Alas!"

"Besides, if you are like them, you seem a little guilty."

"In this way, won't I live up to my great reputation as the 'Scholar of a Generation'?"

Sheng Changquan joked about his nickname with a "proud" look on his face.

Because of his unique style of calligraphy, Sheng Changquan has a great reputation in the outside world of calligraphy. In addition, someone secretly hired a navy, and at this time, he was already considered a little master in the calligraphy world.

"puff……"

"'A Generation of Scholars'?"

"Hahaha……"

Several people were stunned at first, and then they all smiled. The atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot, and even Shen Li's expression was slightly relaxed.

Naturally, they understood the humorous meaning in Sheng Changquan's words.

"Master Sheng, you really see things thoroughly!"

There was a smile in Liu Renyuan's eyes, and he admired sincerely: "It seems that not only can I not compare with you in writing and calligraphy, but you are also far ahead of us in these matters of interpersonal skills!"

"Yes! He is the Grandmaster after all!"

"..."

The other people also made noises and made jokes about Sheng Changquan.

"Hey!"

Sheng Changquan didn't take it seriously. Instead, he puffed up his chest proudly, with a look of indifference on his face, as if he really didn't take the matter of releasing the list to heart.

However, no one knew that Sheng Changquan's shoes were almost broken.

"Why is this guy Xu Changqing... still not coming back?!"
