Gu Fei said with a smile, "everyone has their own aspirations. I don't want to enter officialdom. When I get admitted to the national examination, I won't take the joint examination next year."
"Do you know your decision?"
"Well, she knows. She says it's up to me."
Jiang Wei leaned against him: "then I'll follow you. Anyway, our family now has houses and land, and the prefect is the patron. Even if you're not an official, our family can still live very well."
Gu Fei put his arms around her waist.
Seeing the intimacy of the couple, Xie Zijun's heart began to sour again.
Now Jiang Weiwei is getting better and better. The better she is, the more Xie Zijun can't help regretting in his heart——
Such a good girl should have been his wife.
But now, she has become someone else's daughter-in-law.
Xie Zijun took back his sight and looked down at the folding fan in his hand. His eyes were dim.
The most regretful thing he ever did in his life was that he shouldn't withdraw from Jiang Weiwei.
When the people were waiting for them, the man finally ran back in a hurry.
Seeing this, the scholars stood up one after another and asked questions.
"How's it going? See my name? "
The man was out of breath and couldn't speak clearly: "there are too many people. I squeezed in for a long time."
The shopkeeper asked someone to bring a bowl of water to the waiter. He asked the waiter to go and have a rest. He stood up and comforted: "don't worry, everyone. I'll let someone write all the names on the list. I hope you can take it easy!"
At this juncture, who can be a little calm and urge the shopkeeper to write his name quickly.
When the shopkeeper saw that the waiter had finished drinking water, he asked someone to take out the long prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone and began to write his name.
The clerk reported a name, and the cashier wrote a name. The shopkeeper stood by and looked at it. I hope they can raise more people in Gaofei residence this year, so that their business will be better in the coming year.
The scholars are all quiet now. They stand by honestly, hoping to hear their names from the guys.
The names were reported one by one. The scholars who were lucky to hear their names were ecstatic when they appeared. Some even cried with joy, crying like a fat man of 300 kilograms.
Guys, the order of names is from the last place on the list to the next.
Never heard the names of Gu Fei and Wei Chen. Liu Yun and Xiu'er were worried.
Jiang Weiwei looked relaxed. She was very confident in the knowledge of her man and brother. They were sure to pass the exam.
Just thinking so, she suddenly heard a familiar name from the man.
"Jiuqu County, Xie Zijun, Ninth!"
Everyone looked at Xie Zijun in unison.
Friends congratulated Xie Zijun one after another.
Xie Zijun's face was full of joy and kept saying, "I'm happy with you!"
Unlike the provincial examination, the candidates participating in the provincial examination have different levels of knowledge, and the examination questions are far less difficult than the provincial examination. It's nothing to get the first place in the provincial examination, but it's definitely very powerful to get into the top ten in the provincial examination. They have a great chance of passing the joint examination next year.
After reading Xie Zijun's name, there are eight names left.
Many people have chosen to give up. They are very aware of their weight. They will not be in the top ten. They simply stop listening and get up and leave.
Some of them were still sitting in the lobby with the last glimmer of hope.
Maybe a miracle will happen suddenly? Maybe they're in the top ten?!
The names of the seventh and sixth places were read out. They were all candidates from other counties and towns. No one lived in gaofeiju. The scene was silent.
Among the classmates and friends who took the exam with Xie Zijun, at present, in addition to him, there are two names on the list, but the ranking is relatively low, but at least they passed.
The remaining few people feel that their hope of entering the top ten is very slim. They are ready to give up and have a bitter smile on their faces.
Xie Zijun comforted them a few words, then looked at Wei Chen sitting next to Jiang Weiwei and asked in a low voice, "didn't you play well this time?"
Wei Chen lowered his head and said nothing.
Jiang slightly touched his head: "don't worry, the name hasn't been read yet. Maybe we ah Chen won the first place in the exam."
Hearing the speech, Wei Chen raised his head: "elder sister, do you really believe I can get the first place?"
"You are my brother. I am so excellent. How can you not be excellent? It's just the top of the government test. It's not difficult for you! "
Wei Chen immediately showed a bright smile: "Hmm!"
Sure enough, no matter what time, only my sister will always believe him.
The classmates and friends standing next to Xie Zijun wanted to laugh when they heard the speech. They thought Jiang Weiwei's idea was too naive. If it was really easy to get the first name of the government test, there would not be so many people falling off the list every year.
However, when they noticed Xie Zijun's eyes, they stifled the mocking laughter.
Now the man has read the penultimate name.
Still a strange name.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper shook his head and sighed: "this year, there is only one person in the top ten in gaofeiju. Like in previous years, there should be at least two. Ah, bad luck this year!"
As soon as he finished sighing, he heard the man quote a familiar name.
"Second, Jiuqu County, Wei Chen!"
The shopkeeper was stunned at first. He was most afraid to look in the direction of Wei Chen.
At this time, not only he, but also the people in the whole Inn looked at Wei Chen.
Wei Chen was a little at a loss. He subconsciously moved to his sister.
Jiang Weiwei reacted very quickly. He hugged Wei Chen and said with a happy smile, "My ah Chen is really excellent!"
Wei Chen blushed a little when he was praised.
People congratulated him one after another.
He also saluted one by one.
When everyone calmed down, he found that the man had finished reading the last name.
Just now, everyone patronized to congratulate Wei Chen. No one listened to the waiter's name. They leaned towards the location of the accounting room one after another to see what name Mr. accounting room wrote last?
The shopkeeper stood nearby. He saw the name written in the accounting room and shouted excitedly, "it's Gu Fei! Gu Fei, from Jiuqu County, Yunshan village, won the first place in the autumn Yangfu rural examination this year! "
For a moment, the focus of attention changed from Wei Chen to Gu Fei.
Compared with Wei Chen's bewilderment, Gu Fei seemed much more calm.
He stood up, put a handful of copper plates in front of the waiter and said with a smile, "this is your errand fee. It's hard."
The man was flattered: "thank you, thank you!"
Gu Fei turned to Jiang Wei and others and said, "I'll go to the government office first and come back later."
They all came back to their senses and remembered that they had to go to the Yamen to get the ultimatum.
The shopkeeper came up and said with a smile, "Gu Ju, can I use your name to publicize our gaofeiju? Of course, your name will not be used in vain. All your meals, drinks and accommodation in our inn these days are free of charge, okay? "
Gu Fei promised very readily: "yes."
The shopkeeper immediately smiled.
