Chapter 101 101 Xiaoyuan Examination
Three days after the results are released, the reexamination of this courtyard examination will be held in Nanchang Gongyuan. Naturally, Wei Guangde and Zeng Yuanshu will not waste time. After confirming that they have passed the main examination, they will immediately I went back to the inn where I lived and started reading.
Well, in fact, Wei Guangde's behavior is just pretending.
He really couldn’t read the book.
Isn’t this a popular saying in later generations, big exams are big tricks, small exams are small tricks, no exams, no tricks.
But at this moment, most students with ideas have turned their energy from worrying about the results of the main examination to studying hard. The re-examination is the key to determining the results of this examination.
Wei Guangde doesn’t want to be independent, so naturally he has to follow others.
In fact, not long after they left, the group of scholars and students who had been gathered at the bottom of the list all said goodbye and left to prepare for the retest three days later.
The day before the exam, Wei Guangde panicked in the inn.
Yes, I was so depressed that I panicked.
The book was not interesting, so he just took out the previous articles and read them again, and memorized them again, including the questions he had taken the exam before, and the spare articles he chose. These were all considered a bit inferior by Master Sun. And put aside.
I have already used good ones in the county examination and college examination. Now I can only choose a slightly better one from them to prepare for the next re-examination.
Wei Guangde went to see Zeng Yuanshu, but he locked himself in the room and read a book.
I found my cousin Wu Dong. He hadn't gone out yet and was discussing knowledge with Zeng Yuanrui.
Although I gave up the idea of taking the imperial examination, when I arrived in Nanchang Mansion, it was time for the college examination. My hands were itchy, so I still picked up the book, flipped through it, and started chatting with Zeng Yuanrui.
"Cousin, Yuan Rui, do you want to go out for a walk? I'm so suffocated in the house that I want to go out and relax."
Wei Guangde entered the house and saw both of them reading books and chatting while reading. , I don’t know if I can read the book by doing this.
“Okay.”
Wu Dong heard Wei Guangde say this. He also knew that several times before the exam, Wei Guangde could not read the book. He asked him to go downstairs for dinner two days ago. , I only saw him flipping through the old papers, unlike Zeng Yuanshu, who was really holding the book and chewing on it.
"Then I'll go for a walk too. I haven't left the inn door in the past two days, and I'm so depressed."
Zeng Yuanrui heard that Wei Guangde and Wu Dong both said they wanted to go out for a walk, so he expressed his desire to go out without thinking too much.
"Do you want to ask Yuanshu?"
Wu Dong stood up and said, arranging his clothes as he spoke.
"I went to see him first. He was still reading. I asked him, but he said he couldn't go."
Wei Guangde replied.
The three of them packed up and went out together, walking along the avenue towards the bustling market of Nanchang City.
At this time, there are not many scholars dressed up on the road. Most of the students who took the exam before and failed to pass the main exam have left together. Those who are still in Nanchang City are either students who were on the list. Or they are their friends, waiting to go home together.
After walking a few streets, Wei Guangde suddenly said: "There are so many gambling houses in Nanchang City, what is the white cloth hanging at the door for?"
"That is Waiting for you to enter the examination room "It is used for the opening of the market later."
Wu Dong explained with a smile, "Every year, gambling houses in Nanchang City will participate in government examinations such as the college examination and the provincial examination, allowing gamblers to place bets on the results of the imperial examination. .”
After speaking, he glanced at Wei Guangde and continued: "Don't worry, your name is definitely not in this list." "Haha."
Zeng Yuanrui on the side heard Wu Dong teasing Wei Guangde, Just stroking his hands and laughing.
“I’ve never done anything like this before.”
Wei Guangde never thought about being a crime boss or anything like that. He had everything in his dream.
Although I occasionally fantasize about becoming a Jinshi or No. 1 Scholar, these are all daydreams. I know that it is unrealistic. Maybe my fate has already been determined. Jinshi is no problem, but the ranking may not be so good.
If that doesn't work, just follow the path of Mr. Yan Ge and find a better official position. Then draw a clear line with him when the time comes, so as not to harm yourself when the ship sinks.
As for whether it's a bit unethical to do this, is it free of charge?
It’s all just a transaction. Once the transaction is completed, it is completed.
People are betting on the head of the case, so the odds must be based on the list of candidates who entered the venue.
Although the names are still unknown, it stands to reason that we still don’t know which candidates will take part in the re-examination, but didn’t you see that they haven’t released the betting information yet?
This shows that even now, the casino seems to be unsure of who has passed the main exam.
Think about it, they will enter the venue tomorrow. As long as there are some students who are familiar with the candidates from various prefectures to recognize people, they will be able to roughly figure out who is entering, and then based on the previous reviews , the odds will come out.
Wei Guangde thinks so, but he has no hope of winning the position of leader of the case, otherwise he really wants to put a lot of pressure on himself, and he doesn’t know if God will let him do this. Got what you wanted?
This is the third time he has successfully passed the test. Except for the county examination, which he is very confident about, he is actually not sure about the government examination and the main examination of the college. Since he has passed both, it means that he is really blessed. , maybe the re-examination questions are what he is best at.
Shopping until the moon hangs on the treetops, Nanchang City is about to go under curfew.
The curfew in Nanchang City actually has little impact as long as you do not enter or leave the city. I don’t know what it is like outside the city. In fact, the city is still brightly lit, and many businesses on the street still conduct night market business. Of course Mainly gambling houses and brothels.
Wei Guangde is not very interested in gambling dens. As for brothels, he has seen them several times in Jiujiang Mansion, but he is not embarrassed to go up and sit there. He can't go now because he has an exam tomorrow.
Wu Dong has asked him to go back and rest many times to prepare for the exam tomorrow.
Zeng Yuanrui returned to the inn early, and he still had to take care of his second brother. He was afraid that he would forget about food and sleep while reading, which would affect tomorrow's exam.
Seeing Wei Guangde staring straight at the brothel over there, there were about a dozen young women in gorgeous clothes looking out by the window on the second floor. As a normal man, Wu Dong just felt funny.
"Guangde, do you want to come up and have a drink?"
Hearing what his cousin said, Wei Guangde blushed and shook his head in denial, "There, it's brighter over there. , so take a few more looks.”
“Okay, we’ll be here today. When you pass the hospital exam, let’s go and sit down.”
Wu Dong looked at Wei Guangde and hehe. Laughing, he blushed again.
Fortunately, it was getting late now, so it was hard to see.
Tomorrow is the last exam of this college exam, and it is also an exam that determines your fate.
I am still feeling uneasy, but at this time Wei Guangde can only feed himself chicken soup.
When you come here, you will definitely be favored by God. There will be no problem in the small courtyard test.
Back at the inn, Wei Guangde asked the innkeeper to prepare hot water for a shower to sweat away, and went to bed early to recharge himself for tomorrow's exam.
