"Hu Xu! First place in the first class! Jinshi degree! Number one scholar!"
"Hu Xu? Who?"
"How come you haven't heard of it?"
"I know him! I know him!"
"I know him! He took the exam for three years and finally passed!"
Hu Xu's heart suddenly began to beat wildly, his ears began to ring, and his hands and feet suddenly felt weak. Zeng Zhui heard it too, and quickly grabbed him and pushed through the crowd, squeezing to the front of the yellow list and looking at the first-class list.
He saw Hu Xu's name immediately and immediately hugged Hu Xu and shook him vigorously, shouting ecstatically: "Top scorer! Brother Zhuchun! You passed the imperial examination! You won the top scorer!"
His shout attracted the attention of the people around him. The crowd suddenly exploded, and the next moment, the two of them were drowned.
"The top scholar is here!"
"This is Hu Xu, the top scholar!"
“It turned out to be him!”
“It’s actually him!”
Hu Xu and Zeng Zhui were surrounded by the crowd, countless hands pinching and pinching them, even their robes were torn apart. Zeng Zhui hurriedly grabbed the belt and shouted, "It's not me! I'm the next top scorer! Not this year's! Ouch! Stop touching me!"
Hu Xu was jostled around, a bit bewildered at first, but then overwhelmed with joy. The smile on his face grew wider and wider, and he finally grabbed Zeng Zhui's shoulders, shaking him while shouting, "Wen Feng, I got it, I got it!"
"Hey, hey, I know you've been tricked, but let's run now, otherwise we'll be stripped naked." Zeng Zhui saw that his clothes were about to be pulled off, so he hurriedly grabbed him and squeezed out of the crowd and ran outside.
He had not run far when he saw Yuan Zuzhi, Du Hui, Lou Jing and others waiting in front of him, looking at him with smiles.
Hu Xu's eyes welled up, and he hurried over, kneeling before Yuan Zuzhi and kowtowed three times. With tears of joy, he said, "Teacher, I have lived up to your expectations! I have won!"
Yuan Zuzhi quickly helped him up, also full of emotion, "Good, good! I knew you would win!"
"Great joy, great joy!" Lou Jing stepped forward and patted Hu Xu on the shoulder, laughing and saying, "We didn't make a mistake!"
Du Hui also smiled and said, "Congratulations, the hardship has finally ended and the sweetness has finally arrived."
Hu Xu wiped away his tears and bowed to the others, "Thank you, Teacher. Thank you all for your guidance and teachings."
"You've done well for yourself." Yuan Zuzhi kept patting his shoulders, his pride evident in his words, "I'm honored to be your teacher."
Zeng Zhui was happy for Hu Xu, but then he felt a little sour. He stepped forward, grabbed Hu Xu's neck, shook it, and said, "Brother Zhuchun, just wait, I will definitely catch up with you next year!"
Du Hui glared and said, "If you keep running around and not studying hard, I don't think I'll be able to catch up with you even if I give you ten horses!"
He chuckled and hid behind Hu Xu.
Yuan Zuzhi pressed Hu Xu's shoulder and reminded him, "Don't just thank us. There's someone you should remember. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have achieved your place on the imperial examination."
Hu Xu nodded solemnly, "I won't forget it. When this matter is over, I will tell her in person and thank her personally."
Yuan Zuzhi stroked his beard and said, "That's good."
Lou Yunchun's horse was tied under a tree in front of the bookstore.
Xu Jiang exclaimed from the shop: "Zhu Chun got into high school?"
Lou Yunchun nodded, "Yes, he passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar."
"He really did win!" Xu Jiang screamed, circling around Lou Yunchun and shouting with a smile, "I knew he could do it! I wasn't wrong about him! He really did win! That's great!"
Seeing her happy expression, Lou Yunchun couldn't help but join in the fun. Then, listening to her endless praises of Hu Xu, a sour feeling quietly emerged from the bottom of his heart.
He was jealous.
