Chapter 53 Who! ! !
The father and son talked for a while, and then returned to the room. After learning that Han Xiangru had accepted Zhou Yi as his disciple, Zhou's second son was almost crazy with joy.
Who is Han Xiangru? He is the dean of Bailu Academy! The next day, Zhou Laoer followed Zhou Yi to visit Han Xiangru and offered a thank you gift.
The announcement of the first round of the college exam was on the third day after the exam. Zhou Yi didn't know how to describe the intense scene. More than 2,000 candidates plus the parents who came to see the ranking together crowded the whole street. , It was a large-scale disaster scene, and everyone stretched their necks and squeezed forward.
Originally, Zhou Yi was still with Zhou Laoer at first, but they were rushed away by the crowd, "Father, father..." It's a pity that his tender voice was directly drowned out by the roaring voices up.
There was no other way, so Zhou Yi had no choice but to take advantage of his short stature and flexibility to drill in, and was almost squeezed flat by the two of them.
After finally getting to the front, Zhou Yi wiped off his sweat. It was like risking his life to see the list.
But when they got to the front of the list, they were directly blocked by a group of people. These people read the list, because the case number was announced instead of the name, it seemed that it was extremely slow, and they didn't see their case number on the list. Yes, I always don't believe the facts, suspect that I have missed it, and read it countless times from beginning to end. And those who saw their own case numbers couldn't help but keep staring at their own case numbers, wishing to stare at something.
"I've passed the first round, I'm going to become a scholar..." A white-haired old man shouted excitedly when he saw that he was on the list, then he closed his eyes, and passed out with a creak! ! ! ! When Zhou Yi was studying in the past, there was an article in the Chinese textbook called Fan Jinzhong Ju. After the old man won the exam, he immediately became paralyzed. Fortunately, a butcher father-in-law slapped him awake. Zhou Yi didn't understand before, isn't it just a trick, how could there be such a fuss, but he realized Fan Jin's excitement when he was on the scene, a talent can make people crazy, let alone Juren.
At this time, juren can directly become an official. Of course, whether you can become an official after the examination depends on your luck. What is luck? At this time, it will be selected from the candidates of Hou Guan.
In ancient times, when some officials passed away or were dismissed, there would always be someone poking around at the door of someone’s house. Of course, he didn’t come to mourn or comfort him, but to confirm the situation and wait to fill the vacancy.
The fainted old man was carried out by his family, but it seemed that his condition was not serious, and his face was still flushed!
Finally, the person at the front was optimistic and left reluctantly. Zhou Yi took the opportunity to stand at the front. He held his head up and looked at the big red list in front of him. One hundred case numbers were neatly arranged. Zhou Yi went from head to head. Looking back, the first case number is not his!
Calm down, it's normal if it's not him, there are too many bullies, you can't underestimate the world.
Zhou Yi clenched his fists, and read along, the second one was not him, the third one was not him, the fourth one... Zhou Yi didn't see the well-known case number until five days later.
He breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't get the first place, but at least he was in the front row, and entered the top 100. He only had to wait for the second test the day after tomorrow to see if it was a dragon or a worm.
"Liulang, Liulang..." Zhou Laoer also squeezed to the front, calling him loudly.
"Father..." Zhou Yi responded and squeezed towards Zhou's second son. Even though the distance is very small, the father and son have exhausted all kinds of hardships to get together.
"Father, I passed the exam." Zhou Yi said softly to Zhou Laoer.
"Really?" Zhou Lao Er was overjoyed, his mouth was trembling slightly when he looked carefully.
"Well, I'm ranked fifth. I'll know the final result after the second test the day after tomorrow." Zhou Yi nodded.
"I knew it, I knew it, my son is a Wenqu star descending to earth..." Zhou Er was trembling with excitement.
"Shh, dad, don't say that, let's get out." Wen Quxing is so recognizable, if this group of arrogant scholars hears it, don't start a group challenge on him.
"Okay, okay, go out, go out." Zhou's second son was completely numb at the moment, following Zhou Yi's words with every action.
On this day, there were almost all kinds of scenes in the world on the list, some were proud, some were frustrated, some laughed, and some cried. Some even committed suicide in despair.
As soon as he and Zhou Laoer squeezed out of the crowd, a middle-aged man as thin as a bamboo pole walked past them, muttering as he walked: "I didn't pass the exam again, I can't live..." Repeatedly .
Zhou Yi didn't care too much, knowing that there are not too many people on the list who have been hit, and there are still people kneeling and crying not far away!
Zhou Yi thought this old man was just complaining and complaining, but who would have thought that he really died, this street is by the river, Zhou Yi and Zhou Lao Er had just turned around and walked a few steps when they heard a splash, and then Then someone yelled: "Someone jumped into the river!! Save people!!!"
The wailing man heard it, immediately stood up and shut his mouth, looking at the center of the river with a surprised face, even if he didn't But he also cried and cried, but he never thought of jumping into the river!
This movement naturally alarmed many people, Zhou Yi and Zhou Laoer also ran up immediately, and when they reached the bank, they saw a pair of hands struggling in the river.
But gradually, those hands sank down, and there was no movement.
Fortunately, the people at this time were warm-hearted, and many men who knew how to swim took off their clothes and jumped into the river immediately. After a while, they rescued the scholar.
But at this time, the man was silent.
Someone sniffed, and fell back in shock: "No... I'm out of breath." "
Correct, isn't this Wang Scholar from Qianjie?"
"Really, what can I do, he went like this , what about the old ladies and children at home?" Someone sighed.
Zhou Yi was about to go up, but Zhou Lao Er grabbed him and said, "Liu Lang, don't look, let's go." After all, he was dead, and he was afraid that Zhou Yi would be shocked.
"Father, I'll see if I can save it." After all, it's a human life, and Zhou Yi can't turn a blind eye to it.
"How can you save..." Zhou Yi walked to Wang Shusheng's side amid Zhou's second child's exclamation. Originally, he didn't like this kind of person who committed suicide, but he couldn't pass the test in his heart.
"Xiaowa, what are you doing so close, go play somewhere else." Some people thought that Zhou Yi approached for fun, and hurriedly shouted.
Zhou Yi turned a deaf ear, put his hands on Wang Shusheng's chest and pressed hard. In order to increase the strength, he even tilted his whole body towards his hands, opened Wang Shusheng's mouth and started artificial respiration.
"Oh my god, my husband can't rest in peace even after he dies, and I'm still being treated lightly by you, a thief..." At this moment, a woman shouted and ran towards her, pushing Zhou Yi away.
A black line appeared on Zhou Yi's forehead, frivolous? He is a man, even though he is only a small man, but he is looking for a little girl if he wants to be frivolous, who would be frivolous to a big man, and he is also a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
Zhou Yi got out of the way and stood up. The scholar's wife also saw Zhou Yi's appearance clearly, and knew that she had made a mistake. No matter what, she was still a baby in front of her, so she wouldn't do anything to his husband, but she soon became angry again. "What are you doing, kid? My husband is a scholar. Now that everyone is gone, you still treat him as a toy!" "
I'm saving your husband." Helplessly, Zhou Yi could only explain aloud.
"You fart, can you save my husband just like you... mouth to mouth?" The woman looked in disbelief.
Zhou Yi rubbed his chin, "Am I saving your husband? Believe it or not, but what I'm more curious about is why you don't shed a single tear when your husband is dead?
" Husband, why did you just leave like this, leaving us orphans and widows, what should we do?" The woman blinked her eyes after hearing Zhou Yi's words, and then seemed to react suddenly, and threw herself on Wang Shusheng, crying Get up.
"Cough, cough, cough..." At this time, Wang Shusheng suddenly coughed, coughed up a big mouthful of water, and opened his eyes.
"It's alive, it's really alive!!" Seeing that Wang Shusheng really opened his eyes, the onlookers were shocked.
"Husband, are you really alive?" The woman's words were full of disbelief, without a hint of joy.
Zhou Yi stared at the woman a few times. There is something wrong with this woman.
"Oh my god, it really saved my life, this is a little miracle doctor!" Someone shouted at Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi was embarrassed when he heard it, but it was just a common-sense first aid measure. It was too shameful to be called a little genius doctor, so he hurriedly dragged Zhou Erer away.
"Liulang, why do you do this?" Zhou and the old were surprised.
"The scholar couldn't wake up after drinking water. I thought that if he squeezed out his water, he would live!" Zhou Yi said to Zhou Laoer with a look of reason.
"Haha, my son is really smart." Zhou Yi's second child completely accepted Zhou Yi's statement. Anyway, in his heart, Zhou Yi was already extremely smart, and it seemed no big deal to save a drowning person now. The gossip industry in Nanyuan Fucheng seems to be handed down in the same line as Guang'an County. It didn't take long for a version of a little miracle doctor who came back from the dead to appear in the city. Zhou Yi listened to it by chance, and the story only described him as a god descending from the earth, wearing holy clothes all over his body. Light. If you think so, why don't you write a novel! Zhou Yi thought with black lines all over his head. Since the results of the first round had already been released, many candidates who hadn’t passed the exam completely indulged. For several consecutive nights, Zhou Yi heard ghosts crying and howling wolves from the next room. blocked. After two days like this, the second round of the college exam finally started, and Zhou Yi was also relieved. He finished the exam early and settled down early. Hearing those frustrated candidates cry every night was a torture comparable to hell. The second test was not much different from the first test, but because only a hundred people were qualified to take the second test, the entire test room was much empty.
Coincidentally, Zhao Yuwen was sitting opposite Zhou Yi, and when they looked up at each other, they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Zhao Yuwen won the first place in the first round of the college test, but this is not the final result. After the second round of the test, the overall ranking will be ranked first. At that time, the first place will become an endowed student, and he can receive food and gifts from the court. Example silver.
For a scholar, this is a great honor.
Zhao Yuwen saw Zhou Yi puffed out his chest, his eyes were full of fighting spirit, he decided on this talent.
Zhou Yi didn't care about it, Zhou Yi didn't care about the food and bank transfers. Anyway, this is not a test, and the ranking is directly related to the level of the official position. Not much practical benefit.
He thought well, and naturally answered the questions calmly. On the contrary, Zhao Yuwen was extremely nervous when answering the questions when he was worried about gains and losses.
Before sunset in the afternoon, the bell rang, and Zhou Yi finally finished the courtyard examination, handed in the papers and left the examination room.
"Zhou Yi..." Zhou Yi turned around and looked at Zhao Yuwen who was running towards him.
"What's the matter?" Zhou Yi asked, tilting his head.
"What was your ranking in the first round?" Since the case number was announced, no one except myself knew who the other people on the list were. There is nothing to say about this, and Zhou Yi didn't want to be mysterious, so he
said directly: "Fifth, it's far away from you."
He Qizhong said, "Well, at such a young age, it is already very good to be able to take the fifth place in the exam." It seemed that there was a certain gap between Zhou Yi and himself, and the demeanor returned to Zhao Yuwen, and he knew how to comfort him. Comfort Zhou Yi.
"Thank you!" Zhou Yi knew that Zhao Yuwen was a cute boy at heart, apart from some young people's arrogance and competitiveness, so he generously accepted his carefree comfort, then turned and left.
Zhou Yi smiled so brightly and innocently that Zhao Yuwen was infected by his smile. Looking at Zhou Yi's back, he blamed himself, am I too selfish? I am so happy to hear that he did not do as well as me in the exam, but Zhou Yi But Yi is so sincere to me...
The dog days are already hot and unbearable, and the candidates who are waiting for the announcement of the rankings add a little bit of tension to the hot weather.
Early in the morning on the day when the list was sent out, Zhou Lao Er was walking around the room restlessly.
Zhou Yi put down the book in his hand: "Father, don't worry, it's ours that can't escape, and it's not ours and we can't ask for it!" Zhou Yi felt that the second test was better than the first, so he was not very worried. Worried, and after several tortures of looking at the rankings, he also thought about it. He will do his best before the exam, and it will depend on God's will after the exam.
"Yes, I'm not in a hurry, I'm hot!" Zhou Laoer rubbed his hands embarrassingly, emphasizing.
Forget it, just be nervous, anyway, the dust will settle today, and Zhou Laoer will not be tortured for too long. While the father and son were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums downstairs: "Congratulations to Mr. Forty-eighth place in the 15-year Nanyuanfu City Academy Examination!"
"I've won, I've won, I've won the prize!!!!!!" A crazy voice seemed to penetrate the sky, and Zhou Yi felt himself His ears were numb from the shock.
"Liulang, the list has been announced!!!" Zhou Lao Er was so excited that he dragged Zhou Yi and ran downstairs. Only when he got to the lobby did he find out that this guy who passed the 48th entrance examination was also living in this inn. .
The official messenger who announced the good news was still in the hall, and this lucky man named Zhao Yuanqing was so happy that he was going crazy. There were many congratulatory people around him, and a man who looked like a book boy was giving out happy money.
Zhou Yi quietly looked at Zhou Laoer's bulging chest. He knew that Zhou Laoer had secretly prepared all the copper coins for his high school scholar's wedding money in private, but he didn't tell him because he was afraid of putting pressure on him. That's all.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi became nervous. If he failed this subject, how disappointed Zhou would be!
There is a candidate in the inn who has been selected as a scholar. The innkeeper is very happy. This is a sign of prosperous business. Whether it is a regular guest or a student rushing for the exam, once he hears that there is a high school scholar here, he will definitely give priority to him the inn.
So the innkeeper was also willing, and immediately ordered Xiao Er to crackle and set off firecrackers, and generously announced that Zhao Yuanqing's rent for these days would be waived.
Look, this is the influence of a scholar, it raises a person's worth and status from all aspects.
"Congratulations to Mr. Huang Zhuye Senior High School in Damai County for the 40th place in the Nanyuan Fucheng College Examination for the fifteenth year!"
"Ah, someone has won again!" Someone in the hall sighed. This inn seemed to be very lucky this time. Including Zhou Yi, a total of three candidates who passed the first round were accommodated. In addition to Zhou Yi, one is Zhao Yuanqing, a talented master who has just been released from the oven, and the other is Zhu Huaji, who, like Zhao Yuanqing, is a middle-aged man in his thirties. At this time, Zhu Huaji was being supported by his book boy, staring at the door of the inn. Zhou Yi saw that his legs were trembling, and his back was drenched with sweat. I don't know if it's hot or tense. At this time, Zhao Yuanqing laughed and walked forward: "Brother Huaji, take it easy, don't be nervous, sometimes you want to think about the worst outcome, but it turns out to be a good outcome. Look at me, I don't think about it." He was a scholar, but he just won..." Damn it, this hatred is so good that people want to pull him out and shoot him! "Yeah, brother Yuanqing has always been lucky." Zhou Yi believed that Zhu Huaji definitely said this by gritting his teeth. "Hahaha, yes, luck, luck." Zhao Yuanqing didn't seem to understand the irony in Zhu Huaji's words, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a big laugh. He found a sense of presence in front of Zhu Huaji, and with a glance, he saw Zhou Yi who was quietly standing aside. Zhao Yuanqing's eyes lit up, and he walked towards Zhou Yi at a leisurely pace.
"Little brother, I really envy you. You can pass the exam at such a young age. You are like this!" Zhao Yuanqing stretched out his thumb and compared it to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi looked at Zhao Yuanqing, knowing that he must have something to say later, and sure enough, Zhao Yuanqing said again: "Hey, how can I say you are good, you are still too impatient, you should settle down to study at a young age, and polish it solidly. Come back to take the exam again, or you will be heartbroken when you see other people in high school but you are not on the list!"
How do you know that I will not pass!
Zhao Yuanqing, a high school scholar, is showing off like a peacock with its tail open at the moment. Maybe what he said doesn't have much meaning, but he just wants to shake the master's addiction, but it is not so pleasing to the ears of the person involved. Well, Zhou Yi is okay, he only thinks this guy is talking yellow, but Zhou Er Er can't listen to it: "How do you know that my Liu Lang will definitely not win? Let me tell you, my Liu Lang is very smart." "
Haha Haha, this...um..." He didn't know how to address Zhou Lao Er, he and Zhou Yi belonged to the same class, just now they called Zhou Yi little brother, so naturally it is not good to call Zhou Lao Er big brother again, just use the word "um" instead In the past: "I didn't say Zhou Yi won't pass, I just said he waited for a few years, do you think he will pass this subject?" While speaking, the sound of gongs and drums sounded again: "Congratulations to Li Bingmao of Guang'an
County In the 15th year of Qianhua High School, the master ranked 20th in the Nanyuan Fucheng Academy Examination."
From Guang'an County!
"See, you've already registered for the twentieth place. You don't want to think about it anymore. Could it be that he is still the top one at such a young age?" Zhao Yuanqing said with a smile, shaking his head and shaking his fan.
Excellence refers to the top ten ranks among the fifty talents.
At this moment, Zhou Er Er didn't want to talk to this annoying guy any more, he just stared at the door tightly, his ears stood up nervously. Many, the remaining chances are naturally getting smaller and smaller.
At this time, Zhu Huaji was so nervous that he almost passed out.
The shopkeeper of the inn was still holding firecrackers, no matter who won the prize, Zhou Yi or Zhu Huaji, he would definitely set it off again.
The rankings are getting higher and higher. Zhou Yi heard that there are already four people who have reported to Guang'an County, namely thirty-five, twenty-three, twenty, and eleven. There are only fifty places for scholars, and Guang'an County now alone has four places.
Already registered for the third place, Zhu Huaji couldn't bear it anymore and collapsed limply on the ground, he knew his own ability, no matter what, he would not enter the top three, and failed again, his face was full of despair. In my eyes, I can see that I have been studying hard day after day since I hammered a bun, from being full of ambition at the beginning to now full of despair, will I really have to pass the imperial examination?
The innkeeper sighed. It seems that this year there will only be one scholar in his shop, and the ranking is still at the bottom.
The shopkeeper handed the firecrackers to Xiao Er: "Keep them away and use them again in the next year." "
Congratulations to Mr. Zhao Yuwen from Guang'an County for the fifteenth year of his senior high school, and won the second place in the Nanyuan City Court Examination!" "
Ah, it's from Guang'an County again !" Ah, there are so many talents in Guang'an County!" Someone sighed.
"Isn't it always the case, that place must have excellent Fengshui, and it specializes in Wenquxing!"
Hey, my inn in Guang'an County also has them, so why isn't it him! The innkeeper glanced at Zhou Yi resentfully.
"Congratulations to Master Zhou Yi High School of Guang'an County for the 15th year of Nanyuan City Court Examination! The old master has passed the 15th year of Qianhua High School, Nanyuanfuchengyuan Examination Student!!!" Three times in a row, Zhou Yi's name was shouted out along the street by the person who announced the good news.
"Who!!!" Zhao Yuanqing screamed with his hair standing on end.
