Chapter 492 The soft and bullying sister-in-law VS the sinister brother-in-law who was borrowed 42
In the teahouse, Li Mingxuan and Zhang Shuhan were in a hurry. Although they were sitting in the teahouse, they felt like there were needles under their buttocks. From time to time they walked to the window and looked out.
My heart was on fire, and the tea that I thought was good in the past was tasteless. I was thinking about why the officers and soldiers who posted the list didn't show up yet.
Who are you trying to kill?
Chen Mufeng was sitting there honestly. Even though he looked calm and composed, he was also very anxious at this moment.
Although he had confidence in himself and was confident that he could pass the exam, he was always afraid of what might happen.
"Bah, bah, bah, there's no chance. If there is no chance, I will definitely be on the list."
He smacked his mouth twice quickly, which made Li Mingxuan, who was anxiously beside him, amused, and the nervousness dissipated a lot.
His eyes were full of teasing, "Brother Chen, you are quite confident. Why are you slapping yourself in the mouth again? Haha, is it possible that you don't feel confident at all?"
Chen Mufeng pretended to be calm and took a sip of tea, looked at Li Mingxuan, and said with a smile: "Brother Li, are you looking down on me? I call this 'self-motivation', do you understand? Besides, the three of us are Who doesn’t know who the other is? You, Li Mingxuan, and Zhang Shuhan are both outstanding in talent and learning. We will definitely be on the list for this imperial examination, so why worry about it?”
Zhang Shuhan also looked away from the window. When he heard their words, he chuckled with a bit of confidence, "Brother Chen is right. The three of us have been classmates for several years and know each other's talents and knowledge. We will definitely pass the imperial examination this time. It also brings honor to their respective families.”
The three of them looked at each other and smiled. They were not as nervous as before. The atmosphere relaxed a lot and they waited quietly.
But anxiety is unavoidable in my heart.
Time passed by minute by minute.
"The list is out and posted."
A scholar holding a fan ran upstairs excitedly.
When Chen Mufeng, Li Mingxuan, and Zhang Shuhan heard that the list was posted, they immediately went to the window to look outside.
I saw that the place where the list was posted was already crowded, and the people around me were rushing to see the list like crazy.
The crowd was so crowded that it was like people were trampling on each other. Everyone raised their necks and squeezed in front of the list with all their strength.
Chen Mufeng saw that some people were so crowded that their crowns and scarves fell off, and their buns were crooked.
Some shoes were stepped on and someone kicked them off, causing the shoes to fly to nowhere.
The man cursed a few words in a low voice, then simply stepped on the ground with his socks on and pushed forward.
The corners of Chen Mufeng, Li Mingxuan and Zhang Shuhan's mouths twitched when they saw it, and they were secretly glad that they didn't squeeze in.
Outside the teahouse, where the announcements were posted, crowds of people surged.
Chen Xiutian fought his way through the crowd and pushed his way to the front of the list, his clothes crooked in the crowd.
After finally squeezing over, he looked up and found that he didn't recognize any of the words on the list. He was instantly dumbfounded.
Just as he was about to ask someone, he saw Li Mingxuan's book boy, Li Lei, also squeezing in.
As a book boy, Li Lei was naturally literate, and he quickly scanned the list with his eyes.
Seeing that my son ranked seventh in the exam, I instantly became excited.
He danced excitedly and shouted loudly: "My young master has won, and he is still seventh."
He instantly attracted envious looks from the people around him, and then they pushed forward more and more crazily.
Li Mingxuan, who was standing on the second floor of the teahouse, heard the shouts of his book boy and laughed excitedly, and his heart was instantly put back into his stomach.
"Haha, it's a win. It's not in vain that I studied hard day and night, and suffered from that stinky account for several days."
He was pacing excitedly, unable to stop the smile on his face.
Zhang Shuhan was extremely nervous, but he did not forget to congratulate Li Mingxuan, "Congratulations, brother Li, this ranking is really good, I have to find my name quickly."
With that said, he was about to go downstairs.
But he was pulled back by Chen Mufeng, "Don't worry, there are so many people, you can't squeeze in even if you go down, just wait."
Zhang Shuhan paused in his steps, and after thinking about it, he could only continue to wait, looking anxious.
Outside the teahouse, where the announcements were posted, there was a sea of people.
Chen Xiutian was squeezed here and there. For fear of being squeezed out, Chen Xiutian clung to the stone wall in front of him,
He pulled the excited Li Lei aside and asked anxiously: "Please help me see if my sixth brother's name is on the list."
Li Lei was so happy that he forgot about this, glanced at Chen Xiutian, and then continued to look at the list.
At a glance, I saw that the first place on the top was Chen Mufeng, Jie Yuan.
He took a breath of air and looked down. The name next to him was Zhang Shuhan, the third Jinggui. When Chen Xiutian saw that Li Lei didn't say anything, he was almost anxious to death. He pulled him again and asked, "How about it? Did my sixth brother get hit?"
Li Lei came back to his senses in an instant, looked at Chen Xiutian with a flattering look, and nodded quickly: "Young master Chen is the winner, and he is still the first to win, Mr. Yuan Gong. Congratulations."
But I feel a little sour inside.
My own young master is obviously very talented and learned, so why is he not ranked as good as Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhang?
Chen Xiutian was relieved when he heard that his sixth brother had been hit. Although I don’t know what Jieyuan means, I still know it after ranking first in the exam.
"Haha, I knew that my sixth brother would definitely be number one in high school. Hahaha, this is really honorable!"
His face turned red with excitement, as if he had drank two kilograms of white wine.
In an instant, he once again attracted the envy of those around him.
Mr. Xie Yuangong, with these results, it will not be a problem to pass the Jinshi exam next year.
After Chen Xiutian got excited, he quickly squeezed out. When he came out, one of his shoes was stepped on.
Li Lei also came out shortly after, looking embarrassed, as if he was having a fight.
But both of them were very happy and hurried back to the teahouse to announce the good news.
Yu Yao stood in the corner and naturally saw and heard this scene.
She curled her lips slightly, and was very happy to know that Chen Mufeng got the first place in Jie Yuan exam.
A look that was indeed the case.
She didn't stay here anymore and went back to prepare delicious food.
The second floor of the teahouse.
Li Mingxuan looked at Chen Mufeng with envy, "Congratulations, Brother Chen, you are the number one Jie Yuangong."
Zhang Shuhan was even more anxious now. Brother Li and Brother Chen had both passed the exam. Why didn't he hear his name for a long time? Could it be that he was not on the list?
At this moment, he was not in the mood to congratulate Chen Mufeng. He pulled Li Lei who had just walked upstairs and asked, "Did you see my name? Did I pass the exam?"
Two buttons on Li Lei's body were ripped off by someone unknown. He took a few deep breaths. After he regained his composure, he replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, you passed the exam and you're still in third place."< br>
When Zhang Shuhan heard that he had won, and was still in third place, his heart was about to jump out of excitement, and he grabbed Li Lei's clothes tightly, "Hahaha, I won, I won"
Afterwards, he hurriedly took off his purse and counted some broken silver to Li Lei, "Hahaha, I'm happy today. This is the reward, you can take it."
Normally, Li Lei would definitely not want it. Mr. Zhang has a good family background, but he likes money, so he can't refuse it.
He was also very happy when he took it and said happily: "Thank you Mr. Zhang for the reward."
After Zhang Shuhan gave the reward, he excitedly held the hands of Li Mingxuan and Chen Mufeng, his expressions so excited that he could not control himself.
"Brother Li, Brother Chen, I won. I finally passed the exam. If my mother knew, she would be very happy."
Li Mingxuan and Chen Mufeng also understood Zhang Shuhan's feelings. He had studied hard since he was a child, and his mother was a widow who earned some money by sewing for others to support him in studying for the imperial examination.
Sometimes when I'm really hungry, I drink water to satisfy my hunger, or I just eat half a hard-boiled steamed bun.
They all see this in their eyes, and sometimes they can't stand it anymore, so they will help Zhang Shuhan to make his life less miserable.
They knew the pain involved.
Nowadays, Zhang Shuhan is the third best candidate in high school, so it is only natural for him to be so excited.
The people in the teahouse turned to look at the three of them, with clear envy and jealousy in their eyes.
The three of them saw that they had won the imperial examination at such a young age, one was Jieyuan and the other was Jingkui.
There is also a seventh place. Although the ranking is not as good as those two, this ranking is still very high. It is still very promising to enter Beijing Boyibo and become a doctor next year.
This makes them unworthy of people who are not confused by their age and have been taking exams for most of their lives.
Li Mingxuan patted Zhang Shuhan's hand gently and said with emotion: "Brother Zhang, your journey has not been easy. Now that you have achieved this great result, it is the end of all your hardships. Auntie will definitely be able to enjoy happiness with you in the future."
Chen Mufeng also nodded in agreement, "Yes, Brother Zhang, although this is the first step towards an official career, it is also a crucial step. What are your plans next?"
This means asking him whether he should continue taking the exam or be directly assigned to be an official.
Once you pass the exam, you can become an official, such as county magistrate, chief registrar, etc.
But that's all. If you want an official position above the county magistrate, you need to pass the Jinshi examination.
