Chapter 528 My teacher is a great scholar
The eaves of the announcement wall were more than half a meter long, which could barely block the rainwater from flying into his eyes. Liu Ji opened his eyes wide and looked from left to right. While looking, he patted the shoulder under his buttocks and said, "Right, right, and a little further to the right."
A Wang couldn't hold it back anymore and complained in a low voice: "In that case, why don't you start from the last one?"
The man on his shoulder didn’t respond, and he didn’t know whether he was pretending not to hear or really being fascinated.
Despite the complaints of the crowd, the two walked all the way from the left to the far right.
Awang no longer has any expectations in his heart. After all, he knows very well what level his eldest master is.
If your foundation is too poor, even if you have some understanding, you may not have good luck every time.
However, Awang had just thought so a second ago.
The next second, I heard a gasp of cold air coming from above my head.
Awang's heart suddenly tightened, and he felt a bit of expectation for no reason. He raised his head and asked, "Sir, what's the result?"
"Twentieth place in the first class, Qi Xianguan." Liu Ji read out the ranking of his junior senior brother with a complicated mood.
The list is posted horizontally, with Grade A in the front rows, Grade B and Grade C in the middle and bottom, and the further back the ranking, the further to the right.
Awang: Sure enough, you shouldn’t expect too much from the great master!
With this ranking method, it’s no wonder that Shitou and Agu searched for a long time and still couldn’t find the name of their young master.
Liu Ji calmed his mind and looked down.
I am afraid that I will miss it if I read it too quickly, but I also want to read the last few lines of names immediately to find my own name.
Awang felt that the hand holding his head was sweaty, and it was so hot that his body was numb.
I don’t know when the heavy rain subsided, leaving only a pattering of rain and mist. Liu Ji wiped the rain from his face and signaled Awang to put him down.
Only the bottom three lines are left.
Awang lowered his shoulders, put down his eldest father, and raised his eyes inadvertently. His whole body paused for an instant, and his eyes slowly opened wide.
"Liu Ji. Liu Ji!" Awang didn't know why he was so clumsy with his mouth. He originally wanted to say, Sir, look at the names on the list, but after holding it in for a long time, he only came out with these two words.
Liu Ji, who was named, raised his eyes and was shocked. He pointed at the word "Liu Ji" on the list and looked at Awang excitedly.
Awang nodded sharply, pointed to the place of origin written on the back, and asked with his eyes whether he had read it correctly.
“That’s right, it’s me, your handsome and handsome man!” Liu Ji looked up to the sky and laughed three times, and his hanging heart finally dropped.
Now I can give the evil woman an explanation when I go back!
The master and the servant looked at each other and smiled, and carefully looked at the ranking three times. It was C and twenty-nine.
There are only thirty places in total, and Liu Ji is second to last.
But even if it’s second to last, it’s still on the list
He didn’t know how to express his joy. Liu Ji stepped on the puddles and walked around several times, muttering:
"I won, I won, I won"
He turned all the way out of the crowd looking at the list, attracting countless envious, jealous and hateful looks. He didn't realize it and didn't take it to heart. He didn't stop until he bumped into the carriage with a bang.
Liu Ji calmed down, lifted the car curtain, stuck his head in, and said seriously to the teacher and junior brother who were frightened again in the car:
“Teacher, little senior brother, I passed the exam!”
After saying that, he withdrew his head, took out the yellow talisman that he had obtained from the Taoist temple the day before leaving home, and kissed it twice.
This Taoist spiritual conservator will definitely donate a sum of money to repair the dilapidated Taoist temple when he is honored in the temple in the future. It would be better to erect another monument, write down all his life events, and place it in front of the mountain gate for future generations to look at.
Thinking of those pleasant things in life, the corners of Liu Jigang's mouth that had been suppressed once again rose uncontrollably.
Qi Xianguan got out of the carriage and wanted to say something, but looking at his junior brother's confused look, he suddenly remembered the wild article he had read in an unknown book.
It is said that a poor scholar had been unable to pass the exam for most of his life. One day he did pass the exam, but he was so excited that he went crazy.
Hence, Qi Xianguan stopped what he said and signaled to Awang to help Liu Ji get on the carriage. The group of people went back to the temporarily rented courtyard first.
Liu Ji's excited heart finally calmed down, and he confidently told Awang: "I want to eat fish tonight."
Awang said oh, picked up the vegetable basket in the kitchen, and went out to buy fish for him.
After all, today is indeed a day to celebrate.
When Gong Liangliao and Qi Xianguan saw this, they were full of expectations for dinner tonight.
Ever since Liu Ji took Nga Wang on board the ship, Gong Liangliao would no longer eat the meals prepared by the maids.
Since he is a teacher, it is reasonable for him to eat three meals a day with his apprentice.
As for Qi Xianguan, he was too embarrassed to trouble Awang at first and ate alone for two days. Finally, under Liu Ji's polite invitation, he did not collapse. From then on, he was out of control.
Awang doesn’t think it’s hard to cook two more meals. He is quite free now and is quite happy to spend more time studying food.
Being fed by Awang all the way, Gong Liangxiao grew a belly, and Qi Xianguan's height also increased significantly.
Liu Ji didn't see how he was gaining weight, so he asked, "My wife doesn't like strong men, so I have to eat less."
Qi Xianguan seemed to understand and said, "So this is the taste of married people?"
Speaking of which, Qi Xianguan had already expected that he would be on the list this time.
In order to keep a low profile, he also restrained his strength a little and only took the last place in the first class.
But if we want to compete for the first place in the list, we are absolutely sure.
However, Liu Ji was still on the list, which was not expected by Qi Xianguan.
If they hadn't been together for more than two months, and today's results came out, he couldn't help but wonder if his junior brother had been brain-changed by some ghost.
Qi Xianguan kept this doubt in his mind until Awang brought dinner to the table, and then he couldn't help but ask.
Afraid that his suspicion would hurt his junior brother, he asked very tactfully.
“Junior brother, what did you write in the article for this college examination?”
Gong Liangliao ate his food calmly. Not only was the old man not interested in the matter at all, he was also indifferent to Liu Ji's inclusion on the list today.
Qi Xianguan didn’t pay attention before, but when he looked at the teacher again, he suddenly noticed something.
There is no set theme for the essays in this college examination, allowing candidates to express themselves freely.
Such a question is actually more difficult to write well than an article on a proposed theme, and it also tests the candidates' personal experience and family heritage.
So it is not so much a free explanation as it is a screening of the candidates' vision and identity.
For ordinary people like Liu Ji, if they want to be ranked in this scientific examination, it is not something they can achieve by good luck.
Facing the curious inquiry from his junior brother, Liu Jixian finished slurping the fish head in the bowl, then put a piece of his favorite fish belly into the teacher's bowl, then coughed twice and said seriously and solemnly:
"The article I wrote is titled - My daily affairs with my great Confucian teacher and my young prodigy brother from aristocratic family."
