"Brother Yang, Brother Yang, here."
At the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall, Yan Ci, Wang Xuecheng and Chen Zhuangshi gathered together to welcome Yang Ji.
Today's joint examination is over.
The candidates who had persisted for nine days came out one by one with disheveled hair and dirty faces.
That image, that decadent look, is no better than a beggar on the street corner.
As soon as someone walked out of the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall, he spat out a mouthful of stale blood and fainted at the door.
Chen Zhuangshi and the other two were shocked.
“It’s horrible!”
Yang Ji didn't have the energy to speak. He waved his hand and pointed at the carriage next door, asking silently, "Is there a carriage? I want to take a carriage and lie down in it. No one is allowed to disturb me."
Chen Zhuangshi understood and gave him a wink.
Yan Ci and Wang Xuecheng supported Yang Ji and walked towards the carriage parked at the corner of the street.
At first he supported Yang Ji, but after walking a few steps, he started dragging him.
After the imperial examination, Yang Ji was severely injured. It took him all his strength to walk out of the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall normally.
At this moment, he directly handed his body to Yan Ci and the others.
After getting on the carriage and jumping forward, it only takes three seconds to go straight into sleep mode.
"Brother Yang, Brother Yang..."
Chen Zhuangshi called out softly twice and shook his head, "Brother Yang, you have to eat eggs three times a day. It will take a month to replenish the energy and blood you have consumed."
Wang Xuecheng expressed his doubts. "Can it be replenished in a month? I think pig blood soup is more effective than eggs. As the saying goes, like replenishes like, so you replenish what you eat. Brother Yang's essence and blood are depleted, so he should replenish his blood."
Yan Ci also put forward his own idea: "I think Brother Yang should take the Ten-Herb Tonic Pills."
The Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill was created by Yan Ci for his own legendary novel, so it is a fictional thing.
Chen Zhuangshi and Wang Xuecheng stared at Yan Ci and shouted in unison, "Get lost!"
Yan Ci raised his hands and chuckled, saying weakly, "I was just saying it casually."
Chen Zhuangshi pinched his chin and asked, "Do you think we should prepare a woman for Brother Yang?"
"Brother Yang will beat you to death." Wang Xuecheng said bluntly.
Chen Zhuangshi shuddered and waved his hand, "Forget it, forget it, let's go back to the academy first. I need to eat the eggs and drink the pig's blood soup. Forget about the Ten-Herb Tonic Pills, I'll leave them for Brother Yan to eat."
Yan Ci felt aggrieved, "One day, the Ten-fold Tonic Pill will appear."
Chen Zhuangshi rolled his eyes at him.
Damn it, Yan Ci has become more and more abnormal since he started writing novels.
…
Yang Ji slept for three days and finally woke up.
He sat up from the bed and looked around. This was his dormitory.
In order to allow the candidates to study in seclusion and avoid being disturbed, the academy prepared single rooms for each candidate taking part in the imperial examination.
He rubbed his head, feeling a little dizzy.
Typical feeling of sleeping too much.
How long has he slept?
The door was ajar, and a little head peeked in.
Yang Ji waved to the little head at the door.
Yu Ge'er walked in with Heng Ge'er, "Brother Yang, you finally woke up."
"How long have I slept?"
Yu Ge'er raised three fingers, "Three days! You slept for three whole days."
Yang Ji slapped his head, a little bit incredulous.
He quickly got up from the bed and said, "Please wait a moment, Master. I will wash up first."
"Brother Yang, please do as you please. My second brother and I have nothing to do today, so we are not in a hurry."
Yang Ji couldn't stand the smell on his body, so he took some clean clothes and went to the bathroom downstairs to take a shower.
One of the biggest advantages of the academy is that there is hot water at all times.
You can wash up anytime you want.
Yang Ji spent some time to finally wash his entire body clean, and he turned back into the handsome young man with a scholarly air.
Heng Ge'er exclaimed, "What a change!"
Yang Ji touched Heng'er's head.
"Why are you two brothers here?"
Yu Ge'er said, "Everyone wants to know how Brother Yang did on the exam, but they don't have the courage to ask for fear of offending him. So I volunteered. I believe Brother Yang will do very well."
Yang Ji laughed. "Tell everyone, I just performed normally. Whether it's good or not depends on whether it can satisfy the examiner."
Yu Ge'er nodded, "Mr. Yang is still waiting for Brother Yang."
"I'll go see you, sir."
Heng Ge'er asked curiously, "Are Brother Yang and Mr. Yang really not related? You both have the surname Yang and are from the south."
Yang Ji laughed heartily. "Brother Heng, Mr. Yang and I are truly not related. Although Mr. Yang and I both hail from the south, our families are hundreds of miles apart, so we can't really be related. Besides, my family is just an ordinary, small family. We can't compare to Mr. Yang's, a prominent family."
After saying that, he touched Hengge'er's head. This child is so cute.
He took the book and hurried to see Mr. Yang, the Sanyuangong.
Heng Ge'er looked up at Yu Ge'er and asked again, "Is it true that Yang Ji and Sanyuan Gong are not related?"
Yu Ge'er shook his head. "We are not related. Mr. Yang's grandson will study at Shanhe Academy next year. You can ask him then."
Heng Ge'er nodded heavily, "I will definitely ask clearly."
…
Yang Ji said he performed normally.
With his level, the articles he can write normally will definitely be good, but he can't guarantee how good they will be.
He has ideas about his ranking, but he doesn't dare to set too high a goal.
"There are so many talented people in the world, I can rank among the top in Shanhe Academy. But looking at the whole world, I may not be able to tell."
"Don't worry, Brother Yang, you will definitely be on the list. As for the ranking, I bet you will be in the top ten." Chen Zhuangshi patted Yang Ji's shoulder, looking like I have confidence in you.
Yang Ji laughed and said, "Thank you, Brother Chen, for your good words."
The results will be announced in five days.
The entrance to the Imperial Examination Hall was surrounded by crowds of people.
When the red list was posted on the wall, Chen Zhuangshi and Yan Ci and Wang Xuecheng kept squeezing in.
Yang Jize stayed in the academy waiting for news.
Chen Zhuangshi said euphemistically, "Brother Yang is going to be an official. How can you squeeze into the crowd with everyone else? It's unbecoming. Don't worry, as soon as we get any news, we promise to be faster than the officials and rush to let you know your ranking as soon as possible."
Yang Ji was too embarrassed to go to the Imperial Examination Hall to see the list of successful candidates, so he followed the advice and stayed in the academy to wait for news.
"Hahaha……"
Yan Ci laughed crazily, scaring everyone around him half to death.
"I saw Brother Yang's name at the very front. Look!" he shouted.
Yang Ji's name was clearly written in the second place.
Chen Zhuangshi was not convinced. "Let me see, who's first? His last name is Wang, I don't know him."
Chen Zhuangshi was happy for Yang Ji, but also felt a little regretful.
Having already been chosen as the second place, he only needed to make a little more effort to push the first place out. In this way, Yang Ji would be the champion.
Jieyuan, Huiyuan, and then another Zhuangyuan, he is definitely another Sanyuangong.
The dream was beautiful, but he also knew it was impossible.
Sanyuan Gong is not cabbage on the street, so how can you give it away casually?
"I passed the exam, I passed the exam, I finally passed the exam."
Some people cried with joy, squatting in the corner and crying like a child.
"It's Xuwen."
Xu Wen was originally a student at the Imperial College.
Later, he secretly applied for Shanhe Academy, but was discovered by his classmates from the Imperial College, who made a big fuss at the registration office.
Xu Wen, now one of the many students under Mr. Sanyuan Gong Yang, also participated in this year's imperial examination.
There was no one in Shanhe Academy and the Imperial College who didn't know Xu Wen.
Seeing him crying like a child, many people felt the same way.
Xu Wen was nearly forty years old when he finally passed the exam.
Wang Xuecheng personally handled the registration for Xu Wen and was quite familiar with him.
He stepped forward and handed over the handkerchief, "Congratulations, Brother Xu, for making the list."
Xu Wen looked up, his eyes blurred with tears.
"Who are you?"
"I'm just a nobody. I know Xu Wen's experience and I admire his determination."
Xu Wen took the handkerchief and wiped his eyes. "Thank you, brother. I, I lost my composure. Will this bring shame to the academy?"
"Of course not. Everyone will only be happy for Brother Xu. Does Brother Xu have any plans? If you don't mind, let's go back to the academy together?"
"I, I still have to go home. My family is waiting for news. I didn't dare tell them."
"Brother Xu, please go back. I'll rent a carriage for you."
"Thank you! Thank you so much."
The carriage and horse trade always gathers where there are many people.
Wang Xuecheng waved his hand, and a donkey cart came over. "Sir, can you take a ride?"
"Charge a car. Send Brother Xu home safely. Here's the fare."
Xu Wen waved his hands repeatedly, "How can I let you spend money, brother? I have money."
Wang Xuecheng stopped Xu Wen's hand and said, "Brother Xu, please don't be polite with me. Brother Xu will soon be a Jinshi. In fact, I am benefiting from your help. Let me do a little bit of my heart for you. Please don't refuse."
"Thank you very much. Thank you so much. We are all students of the academy, and we must support each other in the future."
"Brother Xu is right!"
Wang Xuecheng watched Xu Wen leave.
Chen Zhuangshi and Yan Ci approached Wang Xuecheng. "Brother Wang, you've been working in the Academic Affairs Office for two years and you've really changed. Back when you first arrived in Xinmin County, you were a bit reserved. Who would have thought that after a few years, you've become not only eloquent but also adept at networking."
Wang Xuecheng shook his head. "You all misunderstood. I was the one who registered Xu Wen. That day, the Imperial College staff rushed to the registration office and tried to beat him up, but I and the guards stood in front of him. He said something at the time that's still moving even now. It's not easy for everyone to study so hard, so we should help if we can. But Brother Xu is such a tearful person. He was crying the first time I saw him, and he's crying again this time."
Speaking of Xuwen's crying, it is very famous.
Everyone laughed.
…
"Ma'am, the results are out."
The maid Xiaoyu ran over from the gatehouse with an excited look on her face.
"Eunuch Zhao brought good news, saying that Shanhe Academy has achieved its basic goals."
When Gu Jiu heard this, he couldn't hide his excitement.
"Hurry up and call Zhao Minfa in."
Zhao Minfa brought good news to Gu Jiu, "Madam, there are 31 people on the list from the academy. We have achieved the original goal of 30 people."
Gu Jiu felt relieved, "Not bad, not bad. All the teachers and students involved will be rewarded handsomely."
When the academy set a goal of having 30 students pass the imperial examination, Gu Jiu was afraid that the goal was too high and would put too much pressure on them, so he ordered the academy not to set a new goal.
Although we don’t mention goals, everyone has a goal in mind.
Until today, my uneasy heart finally settled down.
"What about the Imperial College? How many people from the Imperial College are on the list?"
