Chapter 449: The County Examination Results Are Announced
Sun Shan watched many candidates run downstairs to check the list, then looked at the crowd of people outside. After thinking for a while, he decided to give up and wait for Gui Ge'er to come back.
Sun Bomin asked anxiously: "Shanzi, why don't you let your father go to see the list? Your father can run fast. He is from the country. These city people can't compare to me in strength."
Sun Shan quickly stopped Sun Bomin and said soothingly, "Father, let's wait here. Gui Ge'er has already gone down. He is very strong and will rush in quickly."
Sun Bomin asked anxiously, "Does Gui Ge'er know your seat number? He shouldn't have remembered it wrong."
Sun Bomin murmured to himself. He was afraid that Gui Ge'er had seen it wrong, then he was afraid that Gui Ge'er could not squeeze in, and then he was afraid that Gui Ge'er would not be able to get out after squeezing in and seeing it.
In the end, it's nothing more than wanting to go and see the results in person.
Li Xinyun stared at the platform announcing the results, looked at the crowd over there, listened to the shouts over there, and vaguely heard: "I won", "Why is my name not on the list".
I listened to the chaotic chatter over and over again, wondering why the servant Aping hadn't come back yet.
He Shuqiang, an outsider, leaned on the windowsill and shouted from time to time: "Brother Shan, the list has been posted, there are so many people on it."
Then he shouted again: "Brother Shan, I'm so nervous."
Then he shouted again: "Brother Shan, it's a pity that I don't have clairvoyance, otherwise I would show you the list."
Everyone was upset by his shouting and wanted to put him in a sack and beat him up.
Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted: "The champion, the champion is Han Mengyuan, Han Mengyuan, Han Mengyuan..."
This time everyone heard clearly who it was, Han Mengyuan, it was indeed Han Mengyuan.
Liu Wenhuan said enviously: "Many people had guessed it was Han Mengyuan before, and it turned out to be him."
Hong Jian nodded and said, "I didn't expect that Han Jieyuan is not only good at poetry and writing, but also did well in the provincial examination. He is indeed one of the most popular candidates for Jieyuan this year."
Sun Shan had heard of Han Mengyuan and had also met him. He was from Huizhou Prefecture and had already gained great fame before the provincial examination.
I heard that he is very talented, eloquent and knowledgeable.
After the provincial examination, Sun Shan went to meet him out of curiosity. Although the rumor was exaggerated, it was almost correct.
He is indeed a talented person.
The writing is elegant, the rhetoric is gorgeous, the words are carved and colorful, and the words are embroidered and the heart is elaborate.
Moreover, Han Jieyuan is only in his early twenties and can be said to be young and promising.
When the candidates in the teahouse heard that Han Mengyuan was this year's top scorer, they felt that he deserved the title.
When Sun Bomin heard that the top scorer was not Sun Shan, he moved his lips but dared not say anything, feeling a little disappointed inside.
In his heart, Shanzi was the most powerful. Now that the top scorer was not his Shanzi, Sun Boming felt a little uncomfortable.
After Jie Yuan knew who it was, Ya Yuan's name also began to be sung one after another.
But Gui Ge'er, A Ping and his group who went to check the list have not returned yet.
Sun Shan couldn't help but think: Could it be that Gui Ge'er and Ah Ping didn't see their names on the list and didn't dare to come back?
Zhang Yue asked nervously, "Why hasn't the person who checked the list come back yet?"
Zhang Yue’s thoughts were similar to Sun Shan’s.
If I were on the list, I would definitely rush back. Only if I failed would I wait until the crowds dispersed and then slowly come back to report.
I can't just run back and say to the young master: Young master, I don't see your name on the list, young master, you failed!
Unless you are a fool, who would dare to come back and report like this?
I will just wait until most of the people have left, come back slowly, and then talk bit by bit, so as not to irritate the young master.
Sun Shan and his companions were waiting in agony. Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door. Then a servant-like man said, "Master, you won! You won!"
Sun Shan looked at the student who had passed the imperial examination and did not recognize him.
But he looked ecstatic and kept laughing.
Even though Sun Shan and his companions were in a bad mood, they still stood up and said congratulations. As for going over to congratulate, they really weren't in the mood, so they decided to do it next time.
The Sun Shan guys looked at each other in silence.
Even He Shuqiang, who was not involved in the matter, did not dare to speak.
He was shouting excitedly just now, but now he looked outside with his head round, then at Sun Shan, Li Xinyun and others.
I pursed my lips tightly, afraid that I would say something wrong.
After a burst of noise, there was another burst of noise. The people who had run to see the list came back, and then another candidate was on the list.
Sun Shan and others stood up numbly, bowed, said thank you, and then sat down numbly.
Sun Bomin asked anxiously, "Why hasn't Gui Ge'er come back yet?"
In fact, my heart had already sunk to the bottom.
Sun Bomin also thought that if he had won, Gui Ge'er would have come back to announce the good news. If he hadn't won, he would have hidden himself and not dared to come back to announce it.
Time passed by little by little, it was actually very short, but everyone felt it was too long, and the tea on the table had been finished.
Suddenly, there was another noise at the door, and Sun Shan and others looked over immediately.
The person who came in this time was not a book boy or a servant, but an official.
Seeing that they were holding the good news in their hands, we knew that they were the official messengers.
One of the officials shouted, "Good news! Mr. Sun from Sunshan, Huangyang County, Zhangzhou Prefecture, has passed the Guangnan County Examination in the 37th year of Taiqi and ranked 69th."
As soon as he finished speaking, the teahouse fell into silence.
The first person to react was He Shuqiang. His fat face instantly turned red with excitement. He shouted anxiously and excitedly: "Who? Sun Shan, is it Sun Shan? Sun Shan from Zhangzhou Prefecture?"
The people who announced the good news were all smart people. They immediately looked over here, walked past here, and shouted loudly: "It's Mr. Sun from Sunshan, Huangyang County, Zhangzhou Prefecture!"
He Shuqiang jumped out and snatched the victory report. On it were indeed the two big words "Sun Shan" written on it.
He shouted passionately: "Ahahahaha... Brother Shan, it's you, it's you, you passed the exam!"
The other students originally wanted to congratulate Big Fatty for passing the exam, but it turned out to be a passerby, not him at all.
Everyone rolled their eyes at him.
Sun Bomin stood up suddenly, staring at the victory report, hesitantly asked softly: "Brother Qiang, is the Sun Shan written above really Shanzi?"
Sun Shan was stunned for a moment, then he reacted, took a deep breath, exhaled deeply, and did it several times in a row.
After confirming that he had passed the imperial examination, he suppressed his inner excitement and tried very hard to pretend to be great.
He straightened the brocade clothes he was wearing today. This was specially made for him by the embroiderer at the request of Aunt Sun, so that he, who was already handsome and elegant, would look even more handsome and elegant.
Sun Shan tried to smile, pretended to be calm, stood up, walked up to the officer, and said, "I am Sun Shan!"
The officer finally figured out who Sun Shan was and snatched the victory report from He Shuqiang's hands.
The three runners who came with him immediately shouted again, "Good news! Mr. Sun from Sunshan, Huangyang County, Zhangzhou Prefecture, has passed the Guangnan County Examination in the 37th year of Taiqi and ranked 69th."
After saying this, he respectfully handed over the good news.
Sun Shan's hands were shaking a little, but fortunately he was able to control them. He slowly took the good news and said thank you.
Then he stepped on Sun Bomin's heel and whispered, "Dad, reward!"
Sun Bomin had already reacted by now, and laughed out loud, saying, "My son has passed the imperial examination, my son has passed the imperial examination, there is a reward!"
While shouting, Sun Bomin gave money to the three officials who came to report the news.
The three officers touched it and found it was silver, and they became even happier instantly.
It costs money to say nice things to Sun Bomin: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to Mr. Sun, congratulations to Mr. Sun. Mr. Sun, you have given birth to a Wenquxing. Congratulations, congratulations."
These words made Sun Bomin smile happily, and then all the money in his pocket was taken away by the officials.
After Sun Shan passed the imperial examination, the candidates in the teahouse also stood up, thanked him, and then took the trouble to sit down.
It was exactly the same action that Sun Shan had done before.
Sun Shan looked around proudly, and realized that accepting blessings was indeed a wonderful thing.
Hahaha.
He, Sun Shan, passed the imperial examination!
