The Prosperous Era of Longwan

Three days after the results were released, the reexamination of this college examination would be held at Nanchang Gongyuan. Wei Guangde and Zeng Yuanshu naturally did not waste time. After confirming that they had passed the main examination, they immediately returned to the inn where they lived and started reading.

Well, in fact, Wei Guangde's behavior was just pretending.

He really can't read books.

Isn't this a popular saying in later generations, "If you take a big test, you will have a lot of fun, if you take a small test, you will have a little fun." If you don't take the test, you won't have fun.

But at this moment, most students with ideas have turned their energy from worrying about the results of the main examination to studying hard. The re-examination is the key to determining the results of this examination.

Wei Guangde didn’t want to stand alone, so he naturally wanted to learn from others.

In fact, not long after they left, the group of scholars and students who had been gathered at the bottom of the list all left one after another to prepare for the re-examination three days later.

The day before the exam, Wei Guangde panicked in the inn.

Yes, I was suppressed and panicked.

The book was not interesting, so he just took out the previous articles and read them again, and memorized them again, including the questions he had taken the exam before, and the spare articles he chose. These were all considered a bit inferior by Master Sun. And put aside.

I have already used good ones in the county examination and college examination. Now I can only choose a slightly better one from them to prepare for the next re-examination.

Wei Guangde took a look at Zeng Yuanshu, who locked himself in the room and read a book.

I found my cousin Wu Dong. He hadn't gone out yet and was discussing knowledge with Zeng Yuanrui.

Although I gave up the idea of ​​taking the imperial examination, when I arrived at Nanchang Mansion, it was time for the college examination again. My hands were itchy, so I still picked up the book, flipped through it, and started chatting with Zeng Yuanrui.

"Cousin, Yuan Rui, do you want to go out for a walk? I'm so suffocated in the house that I want to go out and relax."

Wei Guangde entered the room and saw that both of them were reading books and chatting while reading. He didn't know whether they could read the books in this way.

"good."

Wu Dong heard what Wei Guangde said. He also knew that several times before the exam, Wei Guangde could not read. When he went to ask him to go downstairs for dinner two days ago, he only saw him flipping through the previous papers, unlike Zeng Yuanshu. On the other side, he was really holding a book and chewing on it.

"Then I'll go for a walk too. I haven't left the inn door in the past two days, and I'm feeling very depressed."

Zeng Yuanrui heard that Wei Guangde and Wu Dong both said they wanted to go out for a walk, so he expressed his desire to go out without thinking too much.

"Do you want to ask Yuanshu?"

Wu Dong stood up and said, arranging his clothes as he spoke.

"I went to see him first, and he was still reading. I asked him, but he said he couldn't go."

Wei Guangde replied.

The three of them packed up and went out together, walking along the avenue towards the bustling market of Nanchang City.

At this time, there were not many scholars dressed up on the road. Most of the students who had taken the exam before and failed to pass the main exam had left together. Those who were still in Nanchang City were either students who were on the list or their friends. Still waiting to go home together.

After walking a few streets, Wei Guangde suddenly said: "There are so many gambling houses in Nanchang City, what is the white cloth hanging at the door for?"

"That's for you to wait for the opening of the market after you enter the examination room."

Wu Dong explained with a smile, "Every year in government examinations such as the college examination and the provincial examination, gambling dens in Nanchang City will participate in a wave of events, allowing gamblers to place bets on the outcome of the imperial examination."

After speaking, he glanced at Wei Guangde and continued: "Don't worry, your name is definitely not on this list."

"Ha ha."

Zeng Yuanrui heard Wu Dong teasing Wei Guangde and laughed while stroking his hands.

"The head of the case, I really haven't done it before."

Wei Guangde never thought about being the head of a crime or what he wanted to do with that thing. He had everything in his dream.

Although I occasionally fantasize about becoming a Jinshi or No. 1 Scholar, these are all daydreams. I know that it is unrealistic. Maybe my fate has already been determined. Jinshi is no problem, but the ranking may not be so good.

If that doesn't work, just follow the path of Mr. Yan Ge and find a better official position. Then draw a clear line with him when the time comes, so as not to harm yourself when the ship sinks.

As for whether it's a bit unethical to do this, is it free of charge?

It's all just a transaction, and once the transaction is completed, it's done.

People are betting on the head of the case, so the odds must be based on the list of candidates who entered the room.

Although the names are still unknown, it stands to reason that we still don’t know which candidates will take part in the re-examination, but didn’t you see that they haven’t released the betting information yet?

This shows that even now, the casino seems to be unsure of who has passed the main exam.

Think about it, they will enter the venue tomorrow. As long as there are some students who are familiar with the candidates from various prefectures to recognize people, they will be able to roughly figure out who is entering. Based on the previous reviews, the odds will be calculated. .

Wei Guangde thinks so, but he has no hope of winning the position of head of the case, otherwise he really wants to put a lot of pressure on himself. He doesn't know if he really does this, will God let him get what he wants?

This is the third time he has successfully passed the test. Except for the county examination, which he is very confident about, he is actually not sure about the government examination and the main examination of the college. Since he has passed both, it means that he is really blessed, and he may be able to answer the questions in the examination. Even what he is best at cannot be said well.

Shopping until the moon hangs on the treetops, Nanchang City is about to go under curfew.

The curfew in Nanchang City actually has little impact as long as you don't enter or leave the city. I don't know what it's like outside the city. In fact, the city is still brightly lit. Many businesses on the street still conduct night market business, of course, mainly gambling houses and brothels. .

Wei Guangde has little interest in gambling houses. As for brothels, he has seen them several times in Jiujiang Prefecture, but he is too embarrassed to go there and sit there. He can't go now because he has an exam tomorrow.

Wu Dong has asked him to go back and rest many times to prepare for the exam tomorrow.

Zeng Yuanrui returned to the inn early, and he still had to take care of his second brother. He was afraid that he would forget about food and sleep while reading, which would affect tomorrow's exam.

Seeing Wei Guangde staring straight at the brothel over there, there were about a dozen young women in gorgeous clothes looking out by the window on the second floor. As a normal man, Wu Dong just felt funny.

"Guangde, do you want to come up and have a drink?"

Hearing what his cousin said, Wei Guangde blushed and shook his head in denial, "It's brighter over there, so take a closer look."

"Okay, that's it for today. When you pass the hospital exam, we can come and sit down."

Wu Dong looked at Wei Guangde and laughed, which made him blush again.

Fortunately, it was getting late now, so it was hard to see.

Tomorrow is the last test of this college examination, and it is also the test that determines your fate.

He was still feeling uneasy, but at this time Wei Guangde could only feed himself chicken soup.

When you come here, you will definitely be favored by God. There will be no problem in the small courtyard test.

Back at the inn, Wei Guangde asked the innkeeper to prepare hot water to take a shower to sweat away, and went to bed early to recharge himself for tomorrow's exam.
