Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 192 The imperial examination husband
After the match was set, Xiao Zimo took out the pages of the book he had copied before Wu Bai came, and then picked up the pen and continued to copy the book. The two of them were very serious, and when the time came to You, it was Yanshu who came in to remind them that the time was different. It was early in the morning that Wu and Bai put down their pens.
Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo sat on the seats, and Yanshu and Yanqi respectively took the pages copied by the two of them and went out to the shopkeeper of the bookstore to let the other party calculate the money.
Xiao Zimo jokingly said: "Brother, can you see who wins or loses with these wise eyes?"
"My sharp eyes can only tell whether Zimo can pass the exam, but not who wins this time." Wu Bai raised his eyebrows and smiled.
As soon as the words fell, Yanshu and Yanshu walked in and handed the copper plates to their hands respectively.
Wu Bai counted and said, "I have 240 Wen here."
"I have 280 coins here. Excluding the few pages you copied before you came, I still have 240 coins." Xiao Zimo said truthfully.
"Little brother admit defeat, I don't know if Zimo has thought about what to ask me to promise you?" Wu Bai admitted defeat generously.
"Brother Yu hasn't figured it out yet, why don't you write it down first, and tell Brother Xian when you think about it next time." Xiao Zimo said casually.
"Yes." Wu Bai nodded.
"It's getting late, let's go back." Xiao Zimo put the pen and ink on the table, stood up and said.
Wu Bai also put away his pen and ink, stood up, walked to Xiao Zimo's side, and said, "Let's go."
While the two were talking, Yanqi was already waiting outside the bookstore with the carriage, and the four of them got into the carriage and headed out of the city.
The carriage drove all the way, and everyone returned to Bailu Academy smoothly. Since they came back too late, the house was closed, and they had to cook in the kitchen.
After dinner, Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo read through the books for another hour before turning off the lights and going to bed.
Another two days passed in a blink of an eye, and the results of the government examination will be released today.
Wu Bai and the others got up early in the morning and cooked breakfast in the kitchen, and then entered Fucheng in a carriage.
The carriage drove all the way, and came to the tea house near the government office, and several people booked a private room on the second floor.
In the private room, by the window, Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo sat facing each other, while Yanshu and Yanqi sat on the other side.
"The location of this private room is very good. It happens to be able to see the face of the gate of the government office clearly." Xiao Zimo praised.
"Fortunately, we came early and were lucky enough to be able to choose this private room." Wu Bai nodded.
The two were talking, when someone knocked on the door of the private room, Yanqi walked over to open the door.
There was a strange student outside the door. The other party greeted Wu Bai and the others with a smile, and then asked: "The two of you must be the students who came to wait for the results of the government examination this time, right?"
Wu Bai and the two nodded and said, "Exactly, I wonder if there is something wrong with this brother?"
The other party nodded and invited: "I wonder if the two of you will come to participate in our Yaga?"
"Oh?" Wu Bai was very interested, and he asked, "Who are the students on Ya's gambling table this time?"
"This time there are five people on the board, namely Chang Liang, Ren Zhiming, Shi Jin, Xie Ning, and Xiao Zimo, but the three who are most popular are Shi Jin, Xie Ning, and Xiao Zimo. The top three in the previous county examination, so it is most likely to be the top case in this government examination." The other party introduced.
Hearing this answer, Wu Bai raised his brows at Xiao Zimo and said, "I didn't expect Xiao Zimo to make the offer this time."
Xiao Zimo smiled helplessly at him, but didn't answer.
It was the strange student who answered: "This brother is really insightful. Xiao Zimo is currently the most popular among all the students, and many people have suppressed him."
"In this way, isn't his ratio not high?" Wu Bai asked curiously.
"That's right, his current ratio is one to one." The student replied.
"Who is the banker this time? It won't be the shopkeeper of this teahouse, right?" Wu Bai continued to ask.
The other party nodded and said, "That's right, it's the shopkeeper of this teahouse."
Hearing this, Wu Bai waved his hands and said, "Then I won't participate in this Yaga."
Xiao Zimo asked curiously, "Why didn't you participate this time?"
"That's right, this time it must be Xiao Zimo's number one, and I'm betting on him." The student persuaded.
Wu Bai spread his hands and said, "I don't want to offend the manager of this teahouse."
"Hahaha, that's how it is." Xiao Zimo laughed loudly.
The student continued to persuade Wu Bai, and found that the other party really didn't want to bet, so he left their private room and went to the next room.
Yanqi was about to close the door when another voice came from outside the door.
"Guest officer, this private room is already occupied."
"It's okay, I'll go in and take a look, maybe it's someone I know."
As soon as the words were finished, Xie Ning and the waiter were standing at the door of Wu Bai's private room.
Seeing Xiao Zimo and the others, Xie Ning quickly shouted, "Young Master Xiao, Young Master Wu."
Wu Bai and the two nodded in response, "Thank you, Young Master."
Seeing that they really knew each other, the waiter in the shop obediently withdrew, and Xie Ning also took this opportunity to enter the private room.
Seeing that the person had come in, Wu Bai and the others couldn't say anything to drive him away. After all, they were classmates, and this person was from the same hometown as Xiao Zimo, and the same master taught them before.
Xie Ning said cheekily: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect that the people in this private room would be you."
"Young Master Xie is also here to wait for the results of the government examination, so you can just find a place, you're welcome." Wu Bai waved his hand and said.
"So, thank you very much." Xie Ning cupped his hands.
The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became quiet. After Xie Ning found a seat and sat down, he opened his mouth to find a topic and said, "Just now I heard some students betting downstairs. I wonder if the two of you are involved in this?"
"We didn't participate. This is just luck. The chance of winning is not great. How about you, Mr. Xie?" Xiao Zimo asked.
Xie Ning paused, and replied, "I didn't participate either."
Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo looked at each other, and they both understood that Xie Ning was probably involved, but they didn't know who the other party was betting on.
At this time, Yanshu became excited and shouted: "My lord, look quickly, the list is out."
Xiao Zimo and the others were sitting by the window, and turned their heads to look at it. Sure enough, the crowd at the gate of the mansion began to surge, and everyone rushed to the mansion.
Xie Ning's position was not by the window, he hurriedly stood up, without saying hello to Xiao Zimo and the others, he quickly rushed out of the private room and ran downstairs.
The two of Yanshu also said: "My lord, the two of us are going too."
Wu Bai shook his head and said, "No need, there will be a waiter in this teahouse to look at the list, so we just wait here patiently."
"Okay then, listen to your son." Yanshu lay on his back by the window, stretched his neck and looked downstairs, looking quite hopeful.
Seeing this, Wu Bai chuckled lightly, telling him to be careful not to fall.
……
"This should be the waiter in the store. He's back. Let's all go down and listen." Wu Bai put down the teacup in his hand and said.
The four quickly went downstairs and came to the lobby, and sure enough, the waiter was reciting the top [-] rankings.
Wu Bai happened to be thinking of him when he went downstairs, and he was ranked seventh this time, five places higher than last time.
The waiter in the shop read from the last one forward, and quickly read No.1, which was indeed Xiao Zimo.
As soon as Xiao Zimo's name was pronounced, there was a commotion in the lobby of the teahouse.
"Great, I bet right, hahaha..."
"I bet on Xie Ning, why didn't he come first in the exam?"
Some people are happy and some are annoyed when this is said, but most of those who are happy are those who bet on Xiao Zimo.
Wu Bai congratulated Xiao Zimo happily, and Xiao Zimo also replied with a smile. In the corner of the teahouse lobby that they didn't notice, Xie Ning looked at Xiao Zimo with red eyes.
"Let's go, since we already know the ranking, let's find a restaurant to celebrate."
"Okay."
The four of them came to the restaurant to order a large table of meals to celebrate the two of them passing the government examination and getting good rankings.
At the same time, everyone in the Wu family also learned that Wu Bai was ranked seventh, and Wu Chengzhou's face looked much better.
When Ying Churou heard the news, she almost smashed her handkerchief, but she still came to Wu Chengzhou with a smile on her face to congratulate him.
"Congratulations, master, the young master can get a good rank in this government test, it is because of the master's teaching."
Wu Chengzhou smiled happily, and he said with satisfaction: "Order, all the servants in the mansion will be rewarded with one or two months' money each, so that everyone can be happy."
Hearing this, Ying Churou's face froze, she wondered: "Master, is this one or two months' reward per person too much?"
Nan Yiyun just rushed over, and when she heard the conversation between the two, she opened her mouth and said, "Bai'er is the master's direct son, he is only 12 years old and has been admitted to Tongsheng. It is such a big happy event, and the master wants everyone to be happy. How dare you Push three blocks four?"
As soon as he said this, Wu Chengzhou's face was also quite ugly, he looked at Ying Churou with displeasure, and said: "I saw that you were a sensible person before, so I handed over the housekeeping power to you, but now I misunderstood you , from tomorrow onwards, you will hand over the housekeeping rights to Madam."
Hearing this, Ying Churou was in a hurry, and she hurriedly remedied: "Master, I agree to reward each person with a tael of silver to make everyone happy, don't let the housekeeper right..."
Wu Chengzhou said impatiently: "This housekeeper should have been handed over to Madam. It was just Madam who happened to be ill before, and I thought you were sensible. Now that Madam is well, you should take the initiative to hand over the housekeeper key to her." .”
Nan Yiyun happily said: "Thank you for your understanding, Master, I will definitely keep the house in order."
"Well, Bai'er passed the Tongsheng exam this time, you can find what he needs, and buy it for him." Wu Chengzhou urged.
"Yes, I will. After all, Bai'er is my biological child. I will do my best for such a happy event, unlike someone who is not willing to give some money." When Nan Yiyun answered, he did not forget to give Ying Churou puts some eye drops.
Ying Churou quickly explained: "Master, that's not the case, I just because..."
Wu Chengzhou waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I don't want to hear this."
He turned his head to look at Nan Yiyun and asked: "Did Bai'er send you a message saying when she will come back, let's have a family meal?"
Nan Yiyun's face froze, not knowing how to reply.
At this time, Aunt Jiang stood up and said, "Returning to the master, I saw the young master on the street just now, and he is planning to go to a restaurant for dinner with his classmates and friends, and he probably won't be able to come back today."
Wu Cheng and Zhou Siting said for a while: "Forget it, let him go. His classmate friend is the leader of this government examination. His future achievements are unknown. Now Bai'er has a very close relationship with him, and he may be able to help Bai'er in the future."
"Master is thinking about it." Nan Yiyun also reacted at this time, and immediately echoed.
