Chapter 295 296. Method
Bai Jinglie didn't expect that he was discovered by him just by walking past his cell once.
I remember that he seemed to be writing very quickly at that time, but I didn't expect that he noticed it.
"I can't say anything about the examiner. The emperor just asked me to help maintain order in there." Bai Jinglie was speechless about being suddenly conscripted into the army. He clearly did not take part in the special examination, but he was still locked up for nine days.
"Oh, this time everyone didn't know who was inside until the last day," Shan Ke'an felt that these nine days were enough to make many people restless, and said gloatingly, "I guess no one expected that the emperor would let you and your son be responsible for both the inside and the outside.
Wenheng, I have been holding back from looking for you these days. How is it? Do you feel confident? "
Lu Ping directly exposed him, "Are you holding back? I think you can't even get out of the door! I went to your house several times to ask for an audience, and only once was I able to meet you. Today, it was because the prince came over that you were able to come out and take a breath."
"Brothers, you see everything but don't say it." Shan Ke'an complained, but he was not annoyed. He turned to Gu Wenheng with a smile, "How about we come together today to wait for news with you? Brotherly enough, right?"
Gu Wenheng glanced under the window, where there were densely packed people standing. Senior Brother Liu was looking around anxiously.
"Thank you all. My brothers and I are waiting for news downstairs. I will definitely have a banquet to thank you brothers for your kindness."
"What's going on?" Bai Jinglie looked at Ye Yi, "Why don't you invite everyone over?"
Before Ye Yi could say anything, Gu Wenheng took over, "It's my fault. I thought the prince had something private to talk to me about."
Bai Jinglie said to Ye Yi, "Go and invite them up. There are too many people down there. I'm afraid they will get hurt."
Gu Wenheng thanked him repeatedly. After all, this seat couldn't be booked even if you had money, and you could see this beautiful view from here.
"Our first batch of mirrors has come out. I'll have someone send some to your home later." Bai Jinglie said to Gu Wenheng while there were no outsiders around.
Gu Wenheng thanked him repeatedly and did not ask about pricing and sales, but this made Bai Jinglie so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"Wen Heng, don't you want to give some advice on this first business?"
Gu Wenheng looked at him in confusion, "Didn't we agree that these are not my responsibility?"
Bai Jinglie pointed at his head and said, "I'm sure you can help me think of a solution. This is a rare item after all. How can I make this mirror more valuable? After all, the materials used here are not cheap."
Gu Wenheng, "..." As expected, there is no good thing in this world without a reason. It turns out that the reason why I am stuck here today is because of this.
Gu Wenheng, "Then I'll have to go back and think about it. But by then, what I think may not be what you want."
Bai Jinglie, "One person's plan is short, but two people's plan is long. I'm waiting for your good idea."
After chatting for a while, Ye Yi came in with Liu Wenping.
Gu Wenheng stood up to introduce the two parties, and then led Liu Wenping to sit with him.
Everyone chatted while waiting, and even Liu Wenping, who had just joined, was not treated coldly and was always mentioned in the conversation.
At this time, everyone felt a commotion coming from below and knew that the notice had been posted.
They all came over and stood at the window, all of them crowding towards one place.
Gu Wenheng was a little confused. The list had already been posted. What difference would it make if he looked at it a moment earlier or a moment later? Why did he have to work so hard?
Either their shoes were squeezed away or they were knocked to the ground. The scene was really chaotic.
"It's really lively," there are always people who think differently from him. Look, Dan Ke'an shouted excitedly at the side, "Go to the left, there are fewer people there.
Look at that fat guy, he can’t even squeeze past that boy.
I was wondering why that guy looks so familiar? Do you think he looks like Xu Zhongren? "
"Who is Xu Zhongren?" Lu Ping followed the direction of his finger and saw a group of guards guarding a scholar whose face could not be seen, so he asked curiously.
Shan Ke'an said with disdain, "I can tell you, this guy is very bad. If you run into him in the capital in the future, and he dares to do something bad to you, you will report me and the prince's name."
After saying that, he looked at Gu Wenheng again, "I didn't expect this kid to participate in this Enke. I hope God will be merciful this time and not let this kind of person sneak into your team."
Gu Wenheng already had the answer in his mind. This Xu Zhongren should be the grandson of Xu Zhiwen of the Imperial Observatory. It is said that he was also a little bully in Shangjing.
He is not a bully, but he always strives to be the first in everything.
If anyone steps on his head, he has many ways to make you so unrecognizable that even your own parents can't recognize you.
It is said that once, a scholar in the academy scored better than him in the exam. He smiled and congratulated him, but a few days later, the other person's hands and feet were broken, and he died without any evidence.
There was also a poetry and singing competition, but the other party's poetry was more popular than his, and within a few days, this person also died a violent death.
Everyone was saying that this person was responsible, and when he heard the news, he fearlessly asked people to produce evidence.
Gu Wenheng took a look at the other party's posture. Although they were protected by servants, many people carefully avoided that area. Some of them were obviously students from other places. It seemed that quite a few people had received the news.
Although Liu Wenping was also curious, since it was their first meeting, he didn't dare to ask. He could only look at her silently a few more times and remind himself to avoid her more in the future.
Bai Jinglie patted Dan Kean and said, "Don't talk nonsense about things that are just hearsay. After all, it's just everyone's speculation."
Shan Ke'an curled his lips, "I think it's pretty close, otherwise how could there be so many coincidences? And look at you, do you need to bring so many servants with you when you go out? You take yourself too seriously."
Lu Ping, "Could it be that I feel guilty or that I have too many enemies?"
Shan Ke'an clapped his hands, "So that's how it is. I was wondering if that kid would bring so many people with him every time he went out. It's even more grand than his grandfather's when he went out."
"I got it, I got it," suddenly there was a cry of surprise from the front, and I saw a man struggling to squeeze out of the crowd, shouting as he ran, "I got it, I got it."
Everyone became even crazier. Everyone wanted to know if the next good news would be about them.
At this time, Gu Wenheng regretted sending Mingfeng to check the list. He hoped that the boy would be smart and not get hurt by so many people.
"Aren't you worried?" Bai Jinglie couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw his calm face. Even when he was taking the imperial examination, he had people waiting there early.
Gu Wenheng, "We will know sooner or later, and I also asked Shu Tong to go and see it. Now I regret it a little. There are so many people, don't squeeze anyone and hurt them."
Bai Jinglie glanced in the direction of the palace gate and said, "Now everyone is thinking of ways to jump into the besieged city, but once they actually get in, how many people will remember their original intentions?"
