[Red House] Ban'er's Road to Imperial Examination

Naturally, Wang Gou'er saw clearly what happened at the teahouse, and he also saw the dilemma his son was in. As a father at such a time, he naturally wanted to help his son out.

But how to get out of the siege still needs to be carefully considered. At this moment, Wang Gou'er glanced downstairs, and saw two tolerances coming out of the ceremony room holding the list in their hands.

Wang Gou'er's eyes lit up when he saw them, and immediately shouted: "Ban'er, the list is out!"

Sure enough, this shouting immediately attracted the students who had attracted all their attention to the quarrel between Wang Yue and Zhu Xuan. The major issues related to the future are of course much more important than a lively scene. Around the two of them, the candidates who were enjoying themselves immediately scattered around like birds, and soon flocked to the door of the teahouse.

"How is it? Where am I ranked?"

"Where am I ranked?"

Candidates scrambled to ask questions, and those who squeezed in the front shouted in surprise: "I am a granary student! I am a granary student!"

There were also those who were downcast, with a lost look on their faces, and muttered to themselves: "Why didn't you pass the exam? I will definitely pass!" Obviously, they were candidates who failed the first exam but still had illusions and came to see the list.

There was also Pai's chest and said to the friend next to him with a look of rejoicing: "It just happened to be at the end, and I almost missed it!"

There are also those who do well in the exam, look happy, and show off to the people around them.

Zhu Xuan also ran out of the teahouse in desperation when everyone was not paying attention to him, and went to read the list under the list.

He was very happy when he saw his name in the middle of the list, but when he saw Wang Yue's name in front of everyone, his expression sank again.

Regardless of the flatterers around him opening their mouths to flatter, he just snorted coldly and said, "Go back! Pack up your things and go home!"

"That's not okay. In two days, you have to go to the banquet of the county lord?"

"With that Wang Yue around, who will notice me? It doesn't make any difference if I have me or not!"

After speaking, Zhu Xuan flicked her sleeves, ignored the people around her and left directly.Only these few sycophants were left looking at each other, and then sighed helplessly. Although the eldest young master went as if he hadn't gone, no one would notice him, but if he really didn't go, then everyone would notice him .

As far as the county magistrate is concerned, if someone does not attend the banquet held by him, it is a big disgrace to the county magistrate. Let alone whether the county magistrate will anger the Zhu family because of this, Zhu Xuan is afraid that he will also be on the top. A reputation for arrogance and indecency.

They didn't care about the reputation of the young master, they were afraid that the Zhu family would take their anger out on them.

Sigh, if I knew this young master was so difficult to serve, I should have left him earlier.

The exciting moment passed quickly, and some people who regained their sense began to turn their heads. When they saw the names at the top, their eyes lit up, and then they turned and ran into the teahouse they had just left.When they saw the three figures on the second floor, they were overjoyed, adjusted their clothes slowly, walked up to the three with a steady look, and said, "Congratulations to the three of you, one is the chief and the other is the second. Brother Jun also passed the No. 15 exam, and the results of the three deserve a treat."

There were a lot of people booing behind him. As No.1, Wang Yue should stand up, but he is young, even if he is usually mature, it is difficult to speak at the moment. Fortunately, Zhou Runxin is not a dead book, he immediately He stood up and said with a look of honor: "We should be happy together. It is fate to be on the list with you. Everyone should go to have a table and get close! In the future, the imperial examination We should help each other along the way, so that we can win the gold medal together!"

"That's a good point! It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day. I think it's better to have a banquet at noon today, where the big guys get together and have a banquet!"

"it is good!"

Everyone agreed, and Zhou Runxin saw that everyone was very excited, so he agreed with the situation. After everyone calmed down, he said: "Eating a banquet is a banquet, everyone should be more careful today. Only seven years old!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to Wang Yue, who also showed a smile like a little white rabbit at the right time, pure and innocent, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Zhou Runxin's words at all.

Everyone paused in their hearts, and immediately shouted thankfully, fortunately Brother Zhou reminded them, otherwise they really brought a child into the fireworks field, then they would be very wrong.

Especially being stared at by Wang Yue's innocent eyes, those scholars who originally wanted to take the opportunity to have a romantic relationship all secretly spurned their filth, they quickly put away the little thoughts in their hearts, and said with a serious smile: "Brother Zhou Joking, joking, just talking about love and talking, nothing else! Nothing else!"

After Zhou Runxin's reminder in advance, the banquet at noon was indeed very clean. Everyone just drank wine to make a drinking order. As for Wang Yue, he sat at the top to drink tea and eat vegetables. Scholars who came to the banquet would occasionally come over with wine to share with them Say hello and say a few words, toast with Zhou Runxin and Jun Bowen at the same table, as for Wang Yue, just say a few words, and never mention the toast.

This is also in line with Wang Yue's wishes. He just eats vegetables at noon, or when a scholar who asks him for advice comes over and he talks a few words about his own experience with him, it also earns him a reputation for being broad-minded.

In the next few days, the number of people who were willing to call Wang Yue in the Wenhui was much less. After all, most of the scholars used the head of the Wenhui to do the romantic things.

Wang Yuele's quietness, after two days, everyone went to the banquet hosted by the county magistrate. The banquet was very peaceful, and there was no provocation or slap in the face as Wang Yue imagined.

However, Zhu Xuan, who originally said he was going home, still appeared at the banquet. Probably the people around him tried their best to make him realize the stakes, knowing that if he really didn't come, he would greatly offend the county magistrate. Even because his family has been operating in Wen'an County for many years, it may not be able to bear the anger of the county magistrate.

In the past few days, Wang Yue occasionally went out to participate in literary meetings among candidates, and Wang Gou'er was not idle either.

The old house of the Wang family in the county was near the ceremony room. It was not many years since the Wang family moved away. Those old neighbors still knew Wang Gouer. They heard that Wang Gouer sent his son to take the exam. Everyone doesn't believe it, what kind of children can a person like Wang Gouer, who only knows how to spend money, raise a child.

Who would have thought that this kid was really on the list, and he was No. 1 in the county? Those who can get a little bit closer to their Wang family will come to the door with gifts. I hope that when the Wang family takes off again, they can remember their relationship and give them a hand.

Wang Gou'er was so praised by them that he was about to float up. As long as Wang Yue was free, he would take Wang Yue out for a walk like a monkey. After thinking about it, he found an excuse to go out alone to the east of the county.

There is a large piece of wasteland in the east of the county seat, on which stands a distinctive church. This church is in a typical Gothic style, and against the background of the surrounding desolate environment, it looks like a horror movie in a movie. It looks a little scary from a distance.

There are quite a few rumors in the city that this place is haunted by ghosts, and the priests in the church will start preaching things like God Jesus as soon as they see people, and even say such outrageous things as telling them not to kneel down to worship their ancestors, so it is here. There are very few people.

Wang Yue also accidentally discovered this place a few years ago, and hit it off with the priest in the church.

"John, are you there?" Because the former priest in the church was very favored by the current emperor, Tete allocated a large piece of land on the outskirts of the capital for the priest to build the church.

And that priest also received a lot of rewards from the emperor, and he used all his money to build this church, so the interior decoration of the church is very gorgeous.

After that priest passed away, Father John took over his position, but it is a pity that Father John did not have the ability of that priest back then. He could not get the emperor's favor like his predecessor, so he was very tolerant of this church. The county magistrate also became dissatisfied with the church.

And some sneaky gangsters began to focus on the property inside the church.

After reporting to the authorities many times, Father John found that the problem had not been resolved, so he could only choose to close the door of the church helplessly.

"who is it?"

Father John's vigilant voice came from the church, Wang Yue smiled lightly, and said a series of accents that were very obscure to the people around him, "John, it's me!"

"Oh, Wang, is that you?" Father John was very pleasantly surprised when he heard the voice. He immediately rushed over and opened the door of the church, and welcomed Wang Yue in. "Wang, you are here!"

"I'm taking an exam recently, so I haven't been free to come here. I kept you waiting, John."

"Oh, oh, I know, isn't it the imperial examination?" John made an awkward accent in unfamiliar Chinese, and then immediately switched to English: "This is a very fair exam, even ordinary people can You have been promoted to the gentry class in this exam, your ancestors are really great! I think maybe only Athens back then could achieve this level."

"Thank you for your compliment, I am also proud of my ancestors!"

"Although I have said it many times, I still want to say it again, Wang, you are really different from your compatriots. You must know that they will only be very humble when they hear my approval. Sometimes I really can't handle it." Know what they're thinking."

"Is this probably the difference in thinking between China and the West?"

After hearing this, John nodded in agreement and said, "This is probably the reason why I can't get your emperor's favor."

The author has something to say: It was windy the night before yesterday, and a tree was blown down and fell on the wires. The electricity has been out for two days. My dad used a generator to pump water at night, so he took the opportunity to recharge the electricity. Zhang, wait for the call to make up!
