The Prosperous Era of Longwan

"It's still too late, there are so many people blocking the place."

When Wei Guangde and the others confirmed the news, Gongyuan had really released the results, and they hurried to Gongyuan. However, the streets of Gongyuan were already overcrowded at this moment. Candidates mostly dressed as scholars had already stood for most of the street. The most important thing was, of course, The gate of Gongyuan is already full of water.

They came to Nanchang, but they didn't bring any powerful servants with them. Now they could squeeze in through force, but that would be a bit insulting to politeness.

You can only walk in slowly along with the flow of people, and you have to hold your fists and salute from time to time.

Well, there are so many people who are studying and I know a lot of them.

Students who had finished reading the list had already come out, and they were all dejected. There was also an old man with white hair and beard who was being helped out. He was wiping his tears as he walked. Without asking, he knew that he must have lost his grandson again. Mountain.

Slowly, they finally approached the gate of Gongyuan. The screen walls on both sides of the gate were crowded with people.

When we got here, we finally saw a few candidates with excited faces, but these people were all gathered together and chatting and laughing next to the list.

Needless to say, I definitely saw my seat number on the list.

Yes, whether it is a county examination, a government examination, or a college examination, before the final list is released, only the seat numbers of the candidates on the list will be written, and the names will not be written directly on it.

Finally, the four people at the bottom of the list started looking for the seat numbers of Zeng Yuanshu and Wei Guangde.

Zeng Yuanshu's seat number was "Cheng" No. 46, while Wei Guangde's was "Wen" No. 17. Four pairs of eyes stared at the list, and soon Wei Guangde's number 17 was seen by Wu Dong.

"Top left of the outer circle, Guangde, you passed and you have to take the retest."

Wu Dong shouted loudly there, only to be greeted by a group of envious and jealous eyes. As they determined which Guangde was referring to, many people chose to turn around and leave.

Wei Guangde is only thirteen years old and still looks like a child, so he is naturally easy to recognize.

With such a young guy on the list, these young people who haven't found their seat numbers naturally have no shame in staying here anymore, so it's better to leave first.

Wu Dong happily patted Wei Guangde on the shoulder. He was very excited, but he soon recovered. His friend Zeng Yuanshu next to him was still looking at the list eagerly, looking for his own number.

Immediately, Wu Dong smiled at Wei Guangde, then looked up at the list, helping to find Zeng Yuanshu's seat number.

Perhaps Wu Dong had really good eyesight. Not long after, he discovered Zeng Yuanshu's seat number.

"Bottom right of the inner circle, Yuan Shu, you passed."

Following Wu Dong's words, Zeng Yuanshu, who had an anxious face, instantly turned red.

"Where is it? Where is it? Point to me."

Zeng Yuanshu asked anxiously.

"A little further down the right side of the inner circle is the ninth seat number. Did you see it? It's number forty-six. Hey, that's awesome. It's much higher than Guangde's ranking."

Wu Dong hurriedly tried to give the location more accurately.

At this time, Zeng Yuanrui saw the second brother's seat number first and immediately jumped up happily.

"Really, I saw it."

Perhaps his eyes were hurt from reading too much. Zeng Yuanshu hadn't seen his seat number yet. Although Wu Dong and his third brother both said they had seen it, he still carefully searched for it according to the location given by Wu Dong. , you still have to see it with your own eyes.

Finally, Zeng Yuanshu saw his seat number, and he let out a sigh of relief. The previous nervous pressure was relieved, and he staggered a little. Fortunately, Zeng Yuanrui on the side had quick hands and eyes to help him avoid falling.

For Zeng Yuanshu, who had taken the exam several times, it was really not easy to get ranked last time.

Although the list at this time is not the final result, I finally have the opportunity to take the second exam, which is not easy.

The first exam was like a storm, with only one person left out of dozens of people, which showed the level of competition.

As for the retest, although people will still be brushed off, this time it is a choice of one of two, or at most three, and the difficulty is still slightly reduced.

As for what some people say, if the level is there and neither increases nor decreases, that is actually just a joke.

With fewer competitors, your chances of being on the list are naturally higher.

As for who has a high level and a low level, as the old saying goes, "There is no first level in literature and no second level in martial arts."

If it is a martial arts contest, it is easy to distinguish between first and second. The one who is standing is the first, and the one who is lying down is the second.

But for the literary test, haha

After passing the first level of the hospital examination, the chances of the remaining second level are much greater, and the rest depends on God's will.

All the candidates do not know the re-examination questions, so naturally they can only rely on their usual accumulation.

Zeng Yuanshu has been preparing for the college examination for several years. He is confident that he will successfully pass the college examination and pass the examination.

At this moment, the confidence that was shaky just now is booming again.

After Wei Guangde confirmed that he was on the list and passed the main exam, he could only sigh that he was blessed by God as a time traveler.

At this time, he was extremely convinced that he would pass this hospital examination. He might as well take the provincial examination at the end of the year and just eat "Four-Xi Meatballs".

Do you want to take the exam when the time comes?

Wei Guangde has long since stopped thinking about the re-examination that will follow. He is already thinking about next spring and whether he should take it or not.

Thirteen years old, no, I will be fourteen next year, but I am still young.

Isn't it too small to travel across half of China to attend the national examination in Beijing?

Of course Wei Guangde didn't know who the youngest Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty was, and how old he was when he was awarded the Jinshi, but he felt that if he really won the Jinshi at the age of fourteen, he would probably leave a mark in the history books.

Wanting to be famous, but not wanting to be famous, Wei Guangde was a little worried about gain and loss.

Yes, if a tree is beautiful in the forest, it will be destroyed by the wind. He knows this.

You are too young. If you win the Jinshi, you will be in the limelight for a while, but what will happen in the end?

After all, I am only fourteen years old. What official position will the court give me?

The older you are, the more official positions you can arrange.

Think about it, most Jinshi are in their thirties or forties, and Jinshi in their twenties are considered young people. Will they be embarrassed if they suddenly take part in the imperial examination at the age of fourteen?

When the time comes, don't fail to do it in the same year, but it will bring trouble to yourself. You will have to ask Yan Song, the treacherous prime minister of later generations, for help.

Also, it's too young. If it falls into Yan Song's eyes, will he and his family be tied to that boat? That boat will sink in a few years.

Wei Guangde was wondering whether he should take part in next year's examination. Over there, Zeng Yuanshu finally got over his excitement and returned to his usual self. He bowed his hands to Wu Dong and then to Wei Guangde. Only then did he realize that this person was a little distracted at the moment. .

Wu Dong also noticed that something was wrong with Wei Guangde and his eyes were a little dull.

Well, I'm used to it. It seemed like this happened several times after Wei Guangde took the exam. Wu Dong was not surprised and directly stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes. Wei Guangde came to his senses within a few seconds.

"It's on the list. Would you like to go over and talk to them?"

Seeing Wei Guangde come to his senses, Wu Dong laughed and teased Wei Guangde, pointing at a group of joking scholars and students over there.
