Chapter 42

Today is the day when the results are released. Li Si, Li Congwen and others who live in Yuelai Inn came to the Zhuangyuan Building early to wait because it was closer to the place where the list was released.

They also have acquaintances, because Zhao Guangliang and the others live in the Zhuangyuan Building, so this time Zhao Guangliang set up a seat early, which was very convenient. However, due to Zhao Guangliang's relationship, he was only set in the lobby.

However, this is already very good, and some candidates with poor conditions can only wait under the wall.

Everyone sat by the window on the second floor, and there were other Tongsheng in other places in the hall. Everyone looked anxious and restless at this moment. For example, Li Si was a little calmer, and Cheng Zhuo, who valued fame and fortune, could not sit still at all, and in the end he actually waited directly under the wall.

It’s not that Li Si didn’t care about the other things, but he felt that the exam had been completed, and it would be useless to be anxious now. Although he couldn’t agree with everyone’s feelings, he also understood everyone.

"Hey! I will definitely fail the exam this time." Zhao Guangliang changed his usual high-spirited look, his expression was very depressed, and he regretted not studying hard this year.

"Brother Guangliang, don't be discouraged so quickly. Maybe you'll be on the list if you're lucky!" Bai Fengyang usually has good knowledge, so he is quite calm now. While comforting Zhao Guangliang, he also comforts himself!

The others did their own things, and for a while they looked blankly at the teacup in their hands. Some looked out the window with their eyes empty. The other people in the hall were speechless in front of them, but in the end, no one spoke and they all fell silent.

For a moment, the huge hall was silent, and only the bustling noise outside was heard. I don’t know how long it took, someone yelled outside.

"The red case is coming out! The list is coming out! Everyone, go and see it!"

The people in the hall stood up all of a sudden. Everyone looked out through the window and saw a person posted a red list on the wall at the yamen not far away. There were two soldiers next to them maintaining order and preventing the crowd from getting close.

Although Zhao Guangliang and others couldn't sit still, they didn't get up and ran downstairs to look at the list, because they had already arranged for literate servants to go down to look at the list, and they would probably get the news soon.

Li Wendong went there in person because Li Wendong couldn't sit still, and when he sat down, he was like he grew hair and twisted around. Li Si couldn't stand it anymore, so he suggested that he go down and wait. Li Guangwu was also with Li Wendong, and the two of them went there with him.

Everyone stared at the door. The first one was the schoolboy from another candidate in the hall. As soon as they came in, they ran to their master excitedly and shouted.

"Young Master, Young Master, I've won, I've won, you've won!"

"Ha? Really, really, really? Did I really win?" A candidate in his 20s excitedly grabbed his schoolchild's arm and stuttered in his speech for a moment.

However, no one present joked, but looked at him enviously. Instead, everyone hoped that this person was himself.

Immediately after another servant, a book boy or a housekeeper came in and rushed towards their respective masters. Of course, some were happy, and some were naturally lost.

As the rankings were revealed, the whole inn was full of sorrow and joy. Seeing the old Tongsheng, who was fifty or sixty, fainted from excitement, everyone couldn't bear to look at him.

Li Wendong and Li Guangwu came back here with a few servants. Their clothes were so crowded that they were messy. A few of them were even more miserable, and their hair was scattered.

But no one cared about this at this time, and the few people raised very excited smiles on their faces. However, Li Siyou noticed that there was no smile on the butler sent by Zhao Guangliang, and he felt relieved.

There are 200 scholars admitted to the college entrance examination this time, and the top ten are the Academic Department. Li Guangwu started with the number of people who won the top ranking.

Li Si ranked the highest among the few people, ranking sixth. In the Academic Centre, he could directly become a student in the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the

Li Congwen unexpectedly got the 23rd place in the exam. Speaking of this, Li Guangwu, who had always been calm, couldn't stop and laughed. Li Congwen was also very happy, and held Li Si's hand tightly, and was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Next was Bai Weisheng ranked 118th, and the one who followed him was Wang Weisheng, who was close to him. Although Cheng Zhuo, who has always been knowledgeable, was also on the list this time, his ranking was not very good, and he was just ranked 185th.

Cheng Zhuo's face was not very good, but when he saw that everyone was so happy, he still forced himself to pull the corner of his mouth. Although he was not at the top, he was on the list. Even if he was the last one, he was a scholar.

Among the few people, the only one who failed the exam was Zhao Guangliang. He was the last one in the mansion test before. In addition, he has been wasting his studies this year, so it was expected that he would not be on the list.

Zhao Guangliang actually understood in his heart that the reason why he was still sitting here today was just because he was lucky. The result? Alas! As expected, there was no luck in this world. He didn't take it seriously. How could he pass the exam?

Therefore, Zhao Guangliang was not sad when he learned the result. Instead, he smiled and congratulated everyone. This time, the few people came together, and most of them passed the exam, saying that everything was a big happy event.

Zhao Guangliang was also generous and asked the shopkeeper to buy a table of good banquets to deliver them. Everyone celebrated.

"Xiaosi, you are really good at it. You actually got the sixth place!" Li Congwen happily hugged Li Si's shoulder and kept admiring.

Li Wendong, who was sitting next to Li Si, smiled like a fool at this time, but Li Si just smiled slightly and waved his hand and said, "It's just that I'm lucky. The question I'm going to do is just what I can do. This is nothing. But you have made great progress this year!"

"Haha! This shows that my money is not spent in vain. You know, I paid a lot of money to find that teacher for Congwen! Fortunately, the money is worth it! Come on, everyone drinks, I have invited this wine today." Li Guangwu raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it all, which shows that he was very happy.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the dining table was very warm. Even Cheng Zhuo, who was not very good, turned red after a glass of wine.

No wonder, although scholars of this period were only the lowest fame, they were almost enough in the countryside. Moreover, scholars were exempted from a quota of corvee, and they did not kneel when they saw the magistrate and could not use punishment at will. This was enough for Li Si.
