"I'm hit... I'm hit..." Xu Qian's eyes really filled with tears at this moment.
He was no longer interested in eating the noodles on the table. He clapped his hands and said, "Let's go, let's go now. Let's go to Tixue Yamen."
Zhao Mengting said: "I didn't go just now. Now that I know the results, why go again?"
Xu Qian hesitated and said: "Let's go and have a look. I...I don't pay attention to merit..." At this point, his old face turned red. He had just gone too far, so he quickly said: "It's okay to have a look, Deng Jian."
This person is not very reliable, you have to see it with your own eyes to be sure, Meng Ting, just come with me."
After that, he led Zhao Mengting out anxiously. When he saw Deng Jian who was about to rush in in a hurry, Xu Qian waved his hand like a victorious general: "Let's go to the Yamen!"
Deng Jian was so exhausted that he was out of breath and cursed: "I just asked you to go, but you didn't go. Now that I have just come back, you are going again. You are really more difficult to serve than the prince."
Although he was scolding Xu Qian High School, Deng Jian and Yourong Yan looked at Xu Qian as if they were looking at gold ingots and could not care about anything else.
A group of three people quickly left Xu's house. Deng Jian and Zhao Mengting were going to Tixue Yamen in the east, but Xu Qian looked around warily, and then made a decisive decision: "Go north first."
Deng Jian found it unreasonable and said: "Why go north? Wouldn't it be the opposite direction to go in that direction?"
Xu Qian glared at him and said: "What do you know! There is a car dealership in the north. Well, let's hire a car to go there. How can we walk to see the rankings if we are a talented person?"
This Xu Qian's behavior was really weird to the extreme. Deng Jian actually wanted to say that there was a car dealership in the direction of Tixue Yamen, but seeing that Xu Qian was nervous, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Xu Qian to the north with Zhao Mengting.
Not long after, countless people came to Xu's house to announce the good news. There were so many of them, seventy or eighty of them. When they saw the list, they came all the way, not daring to delay even a moment.
When they saw the Xu family's house, they all shouted together: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to Xianggong Xu for his three primary and middle schools."
"Congratulations to Mr. Xu for ranking first and first in the college examination."
"Reward money, reward money... Mr. Xu, come out quickly and give out the reward money."
It turns out that the rules of this exam are that the more important the exam, there will be some special good news announcers who focus on the official announcement of the results at any time, and then go to report the good news as soon as possible, so as to get rewards. Generally speaking, the higher the ranking, the more likely the person who announces the good news will be.
Many, in places like Hangzhou, there are anywhere between seventy and eighty people, and a few more would be two hundred, and three hundred is also common. Everyone goes to announce the good news, and people in high school are naturally in high spirits, and they are generous at this time, often
They will give out very high gifts of money, and some wealthy families will give out small amounts of money directly.
As Xu Qian is at the top of the list and is also connected to small and medium-sized enterprises, he is naturally the object of everyone's attention. Moreover, his home is in Qiantang, which is not far from the place where the ranking is released. It is not like those who have to travel dozens or even hundreds of miles on the mountain road.
It was a remote and remote area, so there were a lot of people coming. The first batch of people who came to announce the good news were already showing signs of breaking through. Everyone was smiling happily. When they arrived at the door of Xu's house, they saw that the door was closed and actually locked.
.
Everyone's faces suddenly became ugly. Some people went to ask around, but they got the news that the Xu family was here just now and had just left. They asked which direction they went, but they were heading north.
The crowd immediately exploded, and someone said: "He must have heard the news and ran away. It's really not a thing, but it was in this guy's way."
Some people beat their chests and feet, and said sadly: "Who said this person named Xu is a nerd? This shameless thing, thanks to me coming all the way, I didn't even get a single coin."
"It's gone, it's gone. I should have told you that I should go to the Yang family. Mr. Yang only passed the examination test last year, so the family took more than a dozen dustpans of copper coins and gave them out, dozens or hundreds of coins for each person.
…”
……………………
Xu Qian and the other three sat steadily on the carriage, while Deng Jian was still muttering in a low voice: "It used to be closer to the east, but now it's closer to the north. Even the fare is more than twice as expensive. Bookworms, bookworms, it was originally better."
I thought you were very smart, but it seems I made a mistake."
Xu Qian ignored him, just squinted his eyes and said nothing as he fell into meditation like an old monk.
In fact, Zhao Mengting had not completely recovered from her shyness. She had a hunch that Xu Qian was hiding from something, but she didn't think much about it. She just sat in the car with Xu Qian sitting next to her.
Side, making her feel a little suffocated.
When we arrived at Tixue Yamen, there were still many people staying here, and we could hear someone shouting about injustice in the distance.
Xu Qian sneered in his heart and thought: "Unfair? Where can there be so much injustice? You can only call it unfair." He opened the curtain and saw many people gathered around him, so he told Zhao Mengting: "Wait in the car.
Brother Deng and I went to take a look."
After that, he and Deng Jian got out of the car together and pushed through the crowd to rush to the bottom. When those people saw Xu Qian coming, they took the initiative to separate the way for him. Some people sneered at him, but others smiled and bowed to him in congratulations.
At this time, Xu Qian had already restrained the ecstasy in his heart, and instead became humble, with a demeanor that was a bit indifferent to fame and wealth, as if he came to take the exam and look at the results because he had to come because someone had a knife on his neck.
.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and walked to the bottom of the list. Sure enough, he saw his name hanging high at the top of the list. He couldn't help but clenched his fists, bit his lip, and felt dizzy. Congratulations and congratulations could be heard in his ears.
Everyone changed their names, and Brother Xu or Xu's friend suddenly became Xianggong Xu.
Xu Qian felt his waist straighten suddenly. He couldn't resist the urge to burst into tears. He couldn't help but mutter: "It takes many years for a daughter-in-law to become a mother-in-law."
A discordant cold snort suddenly came from his ears, and someone said: "Can Shu Zian be at the top of the list? Ridiculous, ridiculous!"
Xu Qian looked sideways and saw an old man wearing a casual Taoist robe. His beard and hair were mixed with black and white. He was surrounded by several people who looked like Confucian scholars. He was stroking his beard and looking at the list.
Deng Jian on the side couldn't help but feel angry and said: "Old man, who do you think is a fool?"
The old man glanced at Deng Jian with disgust, his eyes fell on Xu Qian, and he said slowly: "You are Xu Qian."
Seeing that he had bad intentions, Xu Qian naturally didn't give him a good look and said, "Who are you to talk nonsense here?"
The old man sneered and said: "You don't recognize me, but last time you came to the door with a greeting card and claimed that you wanted to ask me to teach you how to make crafts?"
As soon as the old man said this, Xu Qian immediately understood that this person was Mr. Wu, whom he had always hated with gritted teeth.
Thinking of this person, Xu Qian suddenly became angry. In fact, it was just that Mr. Wu refused to admit him to the door. But at that time, he made such nonsense and asked the door to humiliate Xu Qian. New and old hatreds all came to Xu Qian's heart.
Qian looked at this old enemy coldly, smiled coldly, and said slowly: "So you are Mr. Wu. I have wanted to meet you for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet here. Oh, yes, I heard that Young Master Yang is Mr. Wu's pride.
Disciple, you must be here to show Mr. Yang the results."
Xu Qian deliberately mentioned Yang Tongzhi and looked at him coldly. In Xu Qian's view, he is now the winner, and the most popular candidate for the top spot, Young Master Yang, has come second. This is more than an insult to Mr. Wu.
So simple.
The more Xu Qian gets into this circle, the more he realizes that the so-called celebrities are nothing more than the result of everyone adding fuel to the fire. Take Xiao Sanyuan, for example, this is not a once-in-a-century event in Yangzhou, but it is not easy to bump into, Xiao Sanyuan
It has a great impact on reputation. As Yang Tongzhi's mentor, Mr. Wu was originally very confident. This time, with Yang Tongzhi's east wind, he could immediately rise. But he never thought that Xu Qian would appear halfway and ruin his good deeds.
.
Mr. Wu looked at him fiercely and said coldly: "I have read the articles you have written for many exams, and they are quite different from Tong Zhi's. It is a fluke to get the first place in the county examination and the government examination. This time, in the college examination,
I will never believe that you still have this kind of luck. Something must have gone wrong. Don't be complacent. I'm going to pay homage to Mr. Ye Tixue now. I must seek justice." He pursed his lips slightly at a disciple next to him.
Understanding, he hurriedly went to negotiate with the guards at the gate of Tixue Yamen.
Xu Qian sneered and said: "If you fail the exam, just say there is something fishy. Well, since you are not convinced, I will naturally let you do it until you are convinced. Deng Jian, let's also go to visit Mr. Tixue and let's speak clearly in front of Mr. Tixue."
