Youth is like a tiger (3): That piece of sunshine
Dang Dang Dang Dang!
The bell rang, and the examiners shouted: "Look up, one breath late is considered cheating!"
Someone reluctantly wrote more than ten characters quickly, the handwriting was so sloppy that he was speechless, and then looked up.
The examiner's hand was on top of his test paper, and his eyes stared at him coldly, "The old man can't read your handwriting clearly, so I will let you go."
Most of the candidates who looked sad also roared with laughter when they heard this.
Jia Hong walked out.
"Jia Hong!"
The students met him one after another and patted him on the shoulder vigorously.
"Damn it, your blind cat caught a dead mouse, thanks a lot."
"Thanks to you, anyway, I did two extra questions, and these two questions may not help me pass the test."
"We should treat!"
Someone booed.
"Easy to say!"
A group of students laughed.
Jia Hong wants to go home... Eldest brother asked for leave today and waited at home, sister and Jia Dong also put aside what they were doing and waited.
"Don't go!"
The two classmates supported Jia Hong, and they were more cordial than ever before.
It was only at the moment of graduation that he integrated into his classmates, and Jia Hong didn't know whether it was amused or angry because of the warm feeling.
…
After the exam is over, there is waiting.
On the day of reading the list, the students in the graduating class all returned to mathematics.
Qian Wuniang walked out of the small shop, her gaze turned.
Behind him, the father said in a low voice: "That Hua Dingyun is a noble son, our family is from a commoner background, he doesn't like you, even if he likes you, he can only be a concubine, die of this kind of heart. "
Qian Wuniang looked calm, "Aye, I know."
Father looked up, a little puzzled, "Since I know what you're still obsessed with?"
Qian Wuniang looked at the scattered students, with longing in her eyes, "Aye, standing among the classmates, Hua Dingyun looked so proud that he stood out from the crowd. He was not only noble, but also knowledgeable." Well, this time he will definitely make everyone bow their heads... I like to watch people like this."
Father shook his head.
People are like this. When you don’t understand the world, you will feel that everything is possible, and there are infinite possibilities ahead. After you understand this world, you will let go of many inexplicable longings, and are more willing to recall the past and anesthetize yourself with the carefree past.
And from ignorance to understanding is the process of you being beaten by society.
Jia Hong is here.
"Do you think I will pass the exam?"
Zhang Lun rubbed his hands nervously.
He looked at Jia Hong and asked, "Will you be disappointed if you fail the exam?"
"I will." Jia Hong's chubby face showed a trace of sadness.
The family hoped that he would fail the exam, and then go home to inherit some family business and become a wealthy idler.
Zhang Lun raised his chin slightly at those classmates, "Look at those classmates, those who pass the exam will enter official careers, and those who fail the exam will mostly go to teach in various places."
Jia Hong's eyes were full of envy, and Zhang Lun was surprised, "Do you still want to teach in other places?"
Xinxue schools are constantly being built in various places, requiring a large number of teachers every year. It is the best choice to select the best students from the students who fail the rankings in mathematics every year.
Jia Hong also has a dream of going out into the world as a teenager, but even the most tolerant Jia Pingan dismisses this dream as impossible!
He sighed: "Yeah!"
Zhang Lun suddenly realized, "That's right, someone suggested the year before last that those students who went to barren lands for the education of the Tang Dynasty should be rewarded. The court made a decision immediately, with a limit of five years, but all students who have been teaching outside Guanzhong for five years, The wind is used as the evaluation, and the grades of the students are used as the evaluation. They are divided into upper, middle and lower classes, and then they can be officials... so many people flock to it!"
The instigator behind this proposal is Jia Pingan.
Jia Hong remembers what his father said, to benefit those who suffer for Datang, even if they go for these benefits.
"I'm coming!"
The little official who went to ask for the list is back.
He smiled and said: "Congratulations!"
Mr. shouted: "Go to the school grounds."
Everyone turned around slowly, looking back at the booklet in the hands of the clerk from time to time.
Qian Wuniang stood outside the small shop, muttering: "Hua Dingyun will definitely be the first in the exam."
Her father brought in a jar of wine, raised his eyes and said, "It has nothing to do with you that he got first place in the exam."
yes!
Qian Wuniang bit her red lips, "But I'm just happy."
On the school field, Zhao Yan and others stood on it, and the little official took out the booklet.
Zhao Yan shook his head, "I won't watch it."
His eyes swept down and stayed at Jia Hong for a moment.
The mentor said that his children must not reveal their identities except for things that cannot be concealed.
He didn't know why at first, but later he realized that if you expose your identity, you will get all kinds of respect and envy, but you will also gain jealousy and hatred, plus the hatred of those who oppose the new learning, and the enemy of the teacher.
These hatreds will turn into open spears and dark arrows, making it difficult for Jia Hong and Jia Dong, who are still young, to resist.
Jia Hong is slightly chubby, and so is his face, which looks extraordinarily kind, that is, pure and good.
Why!
Zhao Yan knew that his mentor was most worried about Jia Hong, but the child is like this, and you can’t twist it even if you try hard, so you can only plan more for him.
But will Jia Hong survive this time?
Zhao Yan hopes not, so that this junior can enjoy the happiness at home and stay away from all kinds of crises outside.
In the eyes of the Jia family and Zhao Yan, the officialdom is a dangerous battlefield for Jia Hong, and his good character will bring endless troubles.
"Li Xiaoyu."
The clerk with the loudest voice began to roll the roll, an honor that lasted for five years.
A student below shouted in ecstasy.
Zhao Yan stood with his hands behind his back.
Han Wei whispered: "Jia Hong is the best."
Zhao Yan smiled slightly, "It should be so."
He went to Jia's house yesterday and talked with Jia Yu for a long time.
Jia Yu also felt that Jia Hong would not be able to pass the imperial examination. According to his idea, after his father came back, he suggested to find a free position for Jia Hong.
Zhao Yan thinks this is not bad.
The roll calls continued, and the candidates below were uneasy.
Zhang Lun clenched his fists and murmured: "There is me! There is me!"
"Zhang Lun!"
"Ahhh!"
Zhang Lun was stunned for a moment, then jumped up, punched hard, then grabbed Jia Hong's shoulder, and said ecstatically, "I've passed, I've passed!"
Jia Hong said sincerely: "Congratulations."
The roll call is from the back to the front, that is to say, the farther back the better the result and the higher the ranking.
Zhang Lun is already above average here, and the rest are masters.
In his eyes, his good friend Jia Hong is naturally impossible to be a master. I won, but my friend didn't, how could I be so ecstatic and excited?
He looked at Jia Hong's eyes, which were full of sincere joy.
"Congratulations."
Jia Hong smiled sincerely.
Zhang Lun patted him on the shoulder, but he was speechless.
What can he say?
Consolation is too hypocritical, and direct speaking is too cruel...
people!
Zhang Lun smiled wryly.
roll call is extended.
The number of admissions for each imperial examination is fixed.
Roll call came to the last three.
Hua Dingyun smiled slightly and straightened his waist.
"Lin Miao."
Among the candidates in this class, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Lin Miao and Hua Dingyun can be called the peerless twins, and they are both outstanding academically.
Lin Miao's face was not filled with joy. He glanced at Hua Dingyun and nodded slightly, indicating that he had lost this time.
But he was a little surprised.
There are two places left, one must be Hua Dingyun, who is the other?
The same is true for Hua Dingyun.
The teachers and students were a little curious, wondering who would be able to forcefully insert themselves between the peerless twins.
Hua Dingyun was thinking about his ranking.
Who is below?
The little official gasped for a while. After so many roll calls, his throat was about to smoke.
Hua Dingyun wished he could go up and **** the roster and give him another bite.
You are not so close-minded!
The little official shouted: "Hua Dingyun!"
Hua Dingyun was stunned.
Second place is an honor, but to him it means failure.
If you lose to Lin Miao, it's okay to say, it's a good match.
But he lost to an inexplicable opponent.
Who is that man?
Lin Miao was also quite surprised.
The two looked at each other, feeling extremely confused and unable to believe it to the extreme.
The masters have passed the level, who is behind?
Looking at the last name, the little official was also quite surprised, and took the opportunity to take a breath. He closed the booklet and shouted, "Jia Hong!"
The school grounds were eerily quiet, and even the panting little official couldn't help lowering his voice.
It was too quiet.
All eyes turned slowly.
The people around Jia Hong moved away slowly, leaving him standing there alone.
Countless eyes focused.
It seems to be the stars and the moon.
Jia Hong handed over in some embarrassment.
"He... he is actually number one?"
Han Wei wanted to pluck his own eyes, "His academic performance is average on weekdays. If it weren't for the fact that the questions in the imperial examinations were all coordinated, I really would think he was lucky. A blind cat met a dead mouse."
Zhao Yan said calmly: "The newly learned imperial examination questions are all-encompassing, blind cats will only get dizzy when they come in. There is no chance of luck in such an exam, only the accumulation and talent in the weekdays. I think... Teacher underestimated Jia Hong, you and I I also underestimated Jia Hong."
Han Weiwu couldn't believe it, "But his usual studies are average!"
Zhao Yan looked at Jia Hong, who looked calm below, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid we've all lost sight. Looking at him, there is no ecstasy or surprise at all. What does it mean? It means that in his opinion, he won the first place in the exam." It’s a matter of course.”
Looking at the innocent Jia Hong in the past, he bowed his hands in embarrassment at the moment, but some clues could be seen between his brows.
This is no accident!
Exploded!
Zhang Lun was dumbfounded, "You...you...you are the number one?!"
Jia Hong said bluntly, "I don't want to either."
He really didn't want to take the first place in the test.
According to his plan, he should put some water, and just take the top ten in the test. With the title of the top ten, he will be able to go smoothly after entering the official career.
But during the exam, he was so focused that he didn't think of this question until almost the end of the exam, but it was too late, and he only had time to deliberately make a wrong question.
But he is still number one.
I'm in the limelight!
Jia Hong was slightly annoyed.
"You don't want to either?"
No matter how stupid Zhang Lun is at this moment, he still knows some facts. The friend in front of him has been pretending to be a scumbag, but his real identity is a top student!
"You pretend to be mediocre under everyone's noses, and you still want to keep a low profile during the exam, you are so damn..."
Jia Hong stood there, smiling shyly.
But in the eyes of everyone, at this moment, his whole body is shining.
The small shop outside the door.
"Hua Dingyun is the second place."
Qian Wuniang sighed: "It really is him. But who is the first?"
The student who came to the small shop to buy snacks raised his eyes, and said with shock and disbelief: "Jia Hong."
Qian Wuniang let go of her hand, and a few copper coins fell onto the plate.
Dang Dang Dang Dang!
In the crisp voice, Qian Wuniang tremblingly said: "No!"
"I don't think so, but I've read the brochures." The student sighed, "Jia Hong has always kept a low profile. Such a person... hey!"
Qian Wuniang stood there in a daze.
She knew what she was missing.
Missed a piece of sunshine.
A piece of sunshine that can bring infinite possibilities!
The name of that piece of sunshine is...
Qian Wuniang raised her eyes and looked outside. Jia Hong happened to be walking by with Zhang Lun. She glanced at her, nodded calmly, and then turned her head away without looking at her again.
"Jia Hong." Qian Wuniang murmured blankly.
