Chapter 101 101 Small College Examination

Three days after the announcement of the list, the re-examination of this academy exam will be held in Nanchang Gongyuan. Wei Guangde and Zeng Yuanshu will naturally not waste time. After confirming that they have passed the main exam, they immediately returned to the inn where they lived and started reading.

Well, in fact, Wei Guangde was just pretending to behave like this.

He really couldn't read the book.

There is a popular saying in later generations: big exams are big fun, small exams are small fun, and no exams are no fun.

But at this moment, most of the students with ideas have turned their energy from the previous gains and losses of the results of the academy exam to studying hard. The re-examination is the key to determining the results of this academy exam.

Wei Guangde doesn't want to be unique, so he naturally has to follow suit.

In fact, not long after they left, the group of scholars who had been surrounding the list before all said goodbye and left to prepare for the re-examination three days later.

The day before the exam, Wei Guangde was suffocated in the inn.

Yes, he was suffocated.

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 before, and the spare articles he chose, which were all put aside because Master Sun thought they were a little inferior.

The good ones had been used in the county and academy exams, and now he could only choose a slightly better one from them to prepare for the next re-examination.

Wei Guangde looked at Zeng Yuanshu, who was still locked in the room reading.

He found his cousin Wu Dong, who had not gone out at this time, and was discussing academic matters with Zeng Yuanrui.

Although he had given up the idea of ​​taking the imperial examination, he arrived in Nanchang Prefecture and it was time for the academy exam. He was itching to pick up the book and flip through it casually, and then he started chatting with Zeng Yuanrui.

"Cousin, Yuanrui, do you want to go out for a walk? I feel suffocated in the room and want to go out to relax."

Wei Guangde entered the room and saw that both of them were reading books and chatting while reading. He didn't know if he could really read the book by doing this.

"Okay."

When Wu Dong heard Wei Guangde say this, he also knew that Wei Guangde couldn't concentrate on reading before the exams. When he asked him to go downstairs for dinner two days ago, he only saw him flipping through the old papers, unlike Zeng Yuanshu, who was really reading books.

"Then I'll go for a walk too. I haven't left the inn for the past two days, and I'm also feeling suffocated."

Zeng Yuanrui heard Wei Guangde and Wu Dong say they were going out for a walk, and without thinking much, he also said he wanted to go out.

"Do you want to ask Yuanshu?"

Wu Dong stood up and said, tidying up his clothes.

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

Wei Guangde replied.

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

There were not many people dressed like scholars on the road at this time. Most of the students who had taken the exam before and did not pass the main exam had already left together. Those who stayed in Nanchang City were either students on the list or their friends, 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?"

"It is used to open the market after you enter the examination room."

Wu Dong explained with a smile, "Every year, the official examinations such as the academy examination and the provincial examination, the gambling houses in Nanchang City will participate in a wave, allowing gamblers to bet on the first place in the imperial examination."

After speaking, he glanced at Wei Guangde and continued, "Don't worry, your name will definitely not be on the list."

"Haha."

Zeng Yuanrui on the side heard Wu Dong teasing Wei Guangde and laughed.

"First place, I have never been first place."

Wei Guangde has never thought about being the first place. He can do anything he wants.

Although he occasionally fantasizes about becoming a Jinshi or a champion, it is all daydreaming. He knows it is unrealistic. Maybe fate has already been determined. There is no problem with being a Jinshi, but the ranking may not be very good.

If it doesn't work, then I can use the connections of Lord Yan to get a better official position, and then I can draw a clear line with him, so as not to be affected by the sinking of the ship.

As for whether it is a bit unkind to do this, does it cost nothing to use connections?

It's just a transaction, and the transaction is completed.

They are betting on the first place in the case, so the odds must be set according to the list of candidates entering the venue.

Although the names are still unknown, it is reasonable to say that we don't know which candidates will participate in the re-examination, but didn't you see that they haven't released the betting information yet?

This shows that until now, the casino seems to be unsure about who has passed the main examination.

Think about it, they will enter the venue tomorrow. At that time, as long as there are some students who are familiar with the candidates from various prefectures to recognize people on the side, they can roughly figure out who will enter, and then according to the previous reputation, the odds will come out.

Wei Guangde thought so, but he had no hope of winning the first place in the case anyway, otherwise he really wanted to bet heavily on himself, and he didn't know if he really did this, would the heaven let him get what he wanted?

This is the third time he has passed the exam successfully. In addition to the county exam, he is very confident. He is not sure about the prefectural exam and the imperial exam. Since he has passed them all, it means that he is really lucky. Maybe the re-examination questions are what he is best at.

I was strolling around until the moon was hanging on the treetops. Nanchang City is about to go into curfew.

The curfew in Nanchang City actually has little impact as long as you don't go in or out of the city. You don't know what's happening outside the city. In fact, the city is still brightly lit. Many businesses on the street still have to do night market business, of course, mainly gambling houses and brothels.

Wei Guangde was not very interested in gambling houses. As for brothels, he had seen them several times in Jiujiang Prefecture, but he was not brave enough to sit in them. Now he could not go there anymore, because he had to take an exam tomorrow.

Wu Dong had asked him to go back and rest many times to prepare for tomorrow's exam.

Zeng Yuanrui had returned to the inn long ago. He had to take care of his second brother. He was afraid that he would forget to eat and sleep and rest because of reading, which would affect tomorrow's exam.

Seeing Wei Guangde staring at the brothel over there, there were a dozen young women dressed up in fancy clothes looking out from the window on the second floor. As a normal man, Wu Dong just found it funny.

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

Hearing his cousin say this, Wei Guangde blushed and shook his head to deny, "It's brighter there, so I looked at it more."

"Okay, let's stop here today. When you pass the college entrance examination, we will go up and sit down."

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

Fortunately, it was late at night, so it was not noticeable.

Tomorrow is the last exam of this college entrance examination, and it is also an exam that determines one's fate.

He was still nervous, but at this time, Wei Guangde could only give himself chicken soup.

Coming here, he will definitely be blessed by God, and a small college entrance examination will be no problem.

Back to the inn, Wei Guangde asked the store owner to prepare hot water to take a shower to sweat, and went to bed early to get enough energy for tomorrow's exam.
