Chapter 290 Look at the list
There is a long wall in the south of Gongyuan near the east Chaoyang, and in front is a wide and neat open space that can accommodate thousands of people.
This long wall has always been the place where the top three answer sheets for the college and township examinations are posted.
Gu Wenxuan and his party got off the carriage and walked with the crowd to the south of Gongyuan, hoping to get closer to the long wall.
I tried to squeeze in towards the place where the poster was posted, but there were too many people, so densely packed that before I even took a few steps forward, I was already packed with people.
It was a hot day, he was sweating after a while, and he wore very few clothes. As expected, Gu Wenxuan gave up, rested his thoughts and continued moving forward, finding a corner with few people to wait.
Although this position will 100% not be able to see the list on the red list, he is still pushing forward like Gu Wenyu and the others, so forgive him for not being able to do so.
Ojiang said that he couldn't do it either.
Fortunately, Gu Youhua and Zhi Ming had already accompanied Gu Wenyu and the others to the other side, and there might be a chance to push to the front later.
After waiting for who knows how long, the sound of gongs and drums finally started to sound around, one after another, which meant that the announcement of the list was about to begin.
Suddenly, the dense crowd surged like a tidal wave, and Gu Wenxuan immediately caught Dajiang who wanted to squeeze towards Gu Youhua and the others.
After all, tens of thousands of people gathered together. If there was chaos or chaos and they were crowded in, the consequences would be disastrous. He didn't care about guaranteeing that he could protect the river from danger.
Anyway, so many days have passed since the hospital examination, and the outcome has already been determined. There is no way to run away. There is no need not to rush, safety is the most important thing.
really.
Immediately afterwards, some government soldiers arrested several people who were squeezing them to death, causing a lot of scolding, and issued a serious warning that if they squeezed again, they would be punished by law.
Gu Wenxuan hinted Dajiang to pay attention to the young man closest to the two of them, one of whom was caught and held on the ground.
This one was wearing a long gown and looked like a scholar, but this serious scholar was escorted to the ground by an officer and acted like a villain in the public square.
Looking at the contemptuous look on one of the yamen servants' faces as if they had seen something pickled, it was obvious that they knew each other and knew what they were like.
Many times, that is, at the first opportunity, there will inevitably be some thieves sneaking in and taking advantage of the opportunity to steal money.
This is why before going out, he repeatedly stated that everyone should not bring money bags with them.
Gu Wenxuan didn't know if Dajiang understood it. Fortunately, it was too late to talk about these precautions when he went back, but why didn't anyone come out to post the red list?
Suddenly, at the gate of Gongyuan, several government officials in red clothes and blue coats finally appeared, amidst the sound of gongs and drums, carrying wooden buckets containing paste, or holding large wooden brushes, or in groups of two and two. Holding the red paper high, he came out of the gate of Gongyuan under the escort of dozens of soldiers holding sabers.
On the passage from the Gongyuan gate to the long wall, there were hundreds of government officials holding swords and long sticks to maintain order to ensure that the group of people arrived at the long wall smoothly.
Under the long wall, a government official climbed up a ladder, used a large wooden brush to apply paste on the long wall, and began to rank the admissions from lowest to highest.
Gu Wenxuan and Dajiang were standing far away from that place. They could only see the government officials posting the red list, but could not see the words on the red list clearly.
After the yamen posted the first red list, the crowd watching the list once again surged forward like a tide.
In an instant, hundreds of government soldiers, some with sabers held high and long sticks held horizontally, blocked the way. Fortunately, the restless crowd did not break through the cordon.
"I hit!"
"My son has won, my ancestors have blessed me, my son has won!" Some people in the crowd could see their own name on the list, or the names of their family and friends, and they kept shouting with joy.
But more people couldn't find their names on the first list posted, and could only look at it with envy while waiting for the next list to appear.
"It's hit, my dad is hit! Grandpa, my dad is hit, uncle and grandpa, my dad is really hit this time! Woohoo, my dad is hit!"
Faintly hearing what sounded like Brother Li's shouting in front of him, Gu Wenxuan stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw a little scholar raising his arms excitedly and shouting excitedly, who else could he be if he wasn't Brother Li? Gu Youhua was holding Brother Li high.
Gu Wenxuan waved his hand in that direction to show that he heard it. Then he waved his hand and told them to just stand and there was no need to squeeze out in advance.
"Brother-in-law?" He was short and disadvantaged. Dajiang stood on tiptoe again. The crowd in front of him didn't know where so many tall people came from, and he was covered. "Is it Brother Li?"
"It's Brother Li, Uncle Changping was hit! Brother Li is crying,"
Dajiang laughed out loud all of a sudden, "That's great!"
Yes, no matter how low the ranking is, you will eventually become a student and become a scholar as you wish.
Gu Wenxuan was also happy for Zhou Changping, as the test was not in vain.
Immediately afterwards, another yamen officer went up the ladder to apply paste and put the second red list on it, followed by another overjoyed shout.
The same scene appeared again. Unfortunately, I don't know who among the familiar candidates was on this red list. I wonder if even if I shouted, it would be drowned out by the crowd around me.
When the third red list was posted, the crowd in front cheered even louder, and it was even louder than when the first two red lists were posted.
Gu Wenxuan guessed that quite a few of them had just found their own names, family members or classmates' names on the first two red lists at this time.
Furthermore, based on the admission rankings posted from low to high, the names on the third red list should be among the top 100.
Over the years, candidates have been grouped together with classmates from the same hometown. The higher the admission ranking of candidates in the small group, the more respectable they feel in front of other candidates.
Moreover, for this reason, among the hundreds of candidates, in fact, most of them are talented and have a certain degree of appeal among their classmates.
However, according to the order posted in previous years, the top three hundred rankings and the bottom two hundred rankings have been announced. This one should be ranked one hundred to four. Why don't you see Gu Youhua and the others shouting for him and Da Jiangzhong? , even if his ranking is on the last top list, Dajiang should also be on this red list. It is impossible for him and Dajiang to occupy two of the top three at once...
"Master, you won, you won twenty!"
"Among the second young master and the young uncles, Young Master Jiang won the twentieth place!"
It's not an illusion!
It was Gu Youhua who raised his arms and waved. Who knew who raised Zhimo, and Zhimo's arms were waving wildly.
Gu Wenxuan was startled when his thoughts were interrupted. He hugged Dajiang happily, who was still unaware of the scene ahead, and couldn't close his mouth. "It's hit, Dajiang, you're hit!"
Dajiang was shocked, "Am I hit? Did I really win? Where did you win?"
