My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 31 31. The aristocratic family mocked and the whole house cheered

The days of scientific examination are gone with the wind.

Inadvertently, three days passed slowly, and countless candidates came out of the low and dilapidated examination booths.

Some people have melancholy faces, severe dark circles under their eyes, and they are muttering something to themselves, which indicates that they have failed the test.

There are also people with faces full of joy, walking lightly as if they are stepping on clouds, and dancing excitedly, unknowingly thinking that they have successfully won the lottery.

Some are happy and some are sad.

There are all kinds of things in the world, each with its own taste.

Zhao Xuanqi slowly walked out of the examination room following the flow of people and looked up at the sky. There were white clouds in the blue sky. The sun fell along the white clouds, spreading all over the road under his feet and also spreading on himself, making it warm.

The birds on the branches sang slowly, and an unknown puppy walked by the wall with its tail between its legs. The fresh smell of plants filled the air.

The three days of exams were really grueling. He had already finished the exams, but he couldn't hand in the papers in advance, so he had to stay in the exam booth.

The examination room was cold and humid inside. In this early spring, it was difficult for the sun to get in. The smell was unpleasant after staying there for a long time, which was simply a torture.

Fortunately, everything is finally over.

Li Yuntian and others also came out of the examination room.

These fellow scholars from the same hometown gathered together and complained to each other about the difficulty of this exam, such as which question they failed to solve, and what the answer to which question should be. They expressed each other's expressions of sadness and disappointment.

The old scholar in his 40s kept chattering away. His dirty robes smelled of calligraphy and ink. He sighed sadly:

"The questions this time are too difficult. Many of the questions in the classic exam are partial and much more difficult than before. I haven't even read some of the questions or books. How can I answer them?"

Another scholar's face turned gloomy, he covered his face and shook his head:

"Yes, yes, those books are not treasured in the academy. Poor scholars like us can't find a place to read those precious books. The exam depends entirely on luck. I was not lucky this time. All the exams were If you don’t know the questions, you will definitely fail.”

"I'm quite lucky. I've read most of the partial questions in this exam, and lyrics and lyrics are more suitable for my field, so I might win." Li Yuntian was somewhat confident, with some joy on his face. .

Except for him, everyone else looked like they were condemned to death. It was obvious that they didn't do very well in the exam.

Li Yuntian's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Zhao Xuanqi and said, "Brother Zhao, you are the best student in our Shixi County, number one in both disciplines. How did you perform? Are you sure you will win?"

The companions also raised their heads curiously and looked at Zhao Xuanqi.

This silent young man has the best grades among everyone, and everyone pays close attention to his grades.

Zhao Xuanqi shrugged, ignored everyone's gazes, and replied easily: "Just perform normally. As for whether you can win the exam, it's up to the examiner. As a student, how can I be sure that I will win?"

But everyone laughed and said: "As long as you perform normally and make no mistakes, your knowledge has always been top-notch, even the master is ashamed. Isn't it easy to test a small scholar with your normal level? Maybe you can be ranked. You are in the top ten! Those examiners will definitely be full of praise for you!"

These fellow scholars showed envy in their eyes and kept complimenting Zhao Xuanqi.

First in Shixi Academy and first in both schools, it can be said that Zhao Xuanqi is the most promising among them.

Naturally, they couldn't help but flatter him. If one day Zhao Xuanqi became famous, it would be a blessing to be able to think of someone among them and give him a hand!

"A few poor scholars still dare to brag about Haikou here and want to be ranked in the top ten? And they want to be praised by the examiner? I'm afraid they haven't woken up from daydreams. They are so thick-skinned that they are not afraid of being laughed at by others!"

A harsh voice came from the side.

Arrogant, sharp and disdainful, very unpleasant to listen to.

Several well-dressed scholars from aristocratic families came over from the side. They looked at Zhao Xuanqi and others with arrogance and mocking expressions on their faces.

These people wear jade pendants on their waists, have hairpins on their hair, have fair and delicate skin, and have good skin. At first glance, they are the children of aristocratic families, and they are rich and noble.

The man at the head has triangular eyes, a bulbous nose, and is 1.6 meters tall. He is dressed in noble brocade clothes and looks at people with his nostrils. He has a natural sense of superiority:

"A bunch of country bumpkins, it's your great fortune to be a scholar, and you still want to be a good scholar? Hahahaha, it's ridiculous. I'm afraid you can't even read all the books. Don't come out to make people laugh."

After he finished speaking, the group of disciples from the aristocratic families who followed him laughed loudly with mockery on their faces.

As children of aristocratic families, they despise this kind of poor people the most, thinking that such poor people are not worthy of studying or coming to the county to take scientific examinations. With their natural sense of superiority and innate pride, they want to trample these poor people under their feet.

"So what if our family is poor? We study hard and have studied in the academy and received the teachings of the Master. What if we can win the exam?"

"You children from aristocratic families should not look down upon others and insult others casually just because your family has the power."

"Even if we fail to pass the exam, our brother Zhao's grades are very good and he is number one in both schools in Shixi County. He will definitely pass the exam!"

"Why do you say that poor scholars like us can't win the election? Don't look down on others!"

Li Yuntian and others' faces turned red and they tried to defend themselves.

Several fellow scholars gathered around Zhao Xuanqi and glared angrily at the group of young men wearing bright clothes and angry horses.

People compete for a breath, Buddha competes for a stick of incense.

Facing the provocation from the children of the aristocratic family, Li Yuntian and others were naturally not afraid.

"What's the use of being number one in two schools? Just because you come from poor backgrounds and ordinary people, you don't deserve to win."

The young man who looked at people with his nostrils saw the poor people in front of him and dared to refute. He covered his stomach for a moment and laughed: "Can you afford those rich people's collections of books? Do you have a great scholar at home to teach you alone? No! It's just because of your ability I'm so poor that I can't afford three dishes for the rest of my life, so I will definitely fail and go back to farming."

"And me? Remember my name. I am Qi Zilong, the eldest son of Qi in the county. My family elders are officials. I was born rich and I was born to be an official!"

Qi Zilong smiled and said: "I will definitely be a high official, a big fish and a big meat. I am born to manage poor people like them. You poor people don't even have enough to eat. You work hard every day and travel hard. When you meet my carriage, you are all You won’t dare to look up at me, you will only tremble, and you will keep your head down and your tail between your legs for the rest of your life, and I can crush you to death with just one word!”

The children of the surrounding aristocratic families laughed out loud and kept echoing.

The aristocratic family has a serious monopoly, and the meaning of discrimination is obvious to the extreme.

Li Yuntian and others opened their mouths to refute, but they couldn't find any words to refute.

Yes.

These people are very confident. They are confident because they come from a wealthy family. Just because they come from a wealthy family, they can look down on all the poor!

How can poor people and talented people like me compare with them? Take the lead? The probability of these people winning the election is 70% to 80% higher than that of our own people!
