This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 6 Proud
There were guards standing outside the examination room.

Li Zhengshan was also wearing the uniform of a constable and was standing not far away acting as a guard. When he saw Luo Zijun coming out, he was stunned for a moment.

"Zijun, why did you come out?"

Li Zhengshan was very surprised, but then he understood something and asked in a low voice: "Is the test difficult?"

It's not even noon yet. The exam is before 3 p.m. The results came out so quickly, obviously not very good.

Luo Zijun said: "It's not too difficult. I just finished writing it and it came out."

Li Zhengshan obviously didn't quite believe it.

After all, my brother-in-law had been studying medicine and only started preparing for the provincial examination half a month before the exam. How could he have passed the exam so quickly?

But he didn't dare to say more, and comforted her: "It's okay, if it doesn't work this year, we can continue next year. Your sister is waiting over there, go quickly. I still have to stand guard, and I probably won't be back until the evening."

Luo Zijun nodded and walked towards the open space in front.

The relatives and friends of the candidates gathered there, not daring to speak loudly, and all stared at the door of the examination room.

"Boss, your brother-in-law doesn't look like he did well in the exam."

"Last time, the boss boasted that he would treat us to a drink when your brother-in-law passed the imperial examination. It seems we can only wait until next year."

"Alas, next year after next year, there are so many next years."

The two detectives next to Li Zhengshan were joking and smiling.

Li Zhengshan was in no mood to joke with them. He waved his hand and said seriously, "Stand guard and don't talk."

Luo Jiaorong has already seen her younger brother.

Seeing him come out so early, her heart sank immediately. She knew the result was not good, but she did not dare to show it. She smiled and waved, "Zijun, here."

Unexpectedly, Aunt Wang, who was selling fruits, was standing behind her. Seeing this, she immediately shouted, "Aiya Jiaorong, your brother just went in for a while and came out. I guess he didn't even finish the first exam. Don't be discouraged. Let him go home and study hard and take the exam again next year."

Then she continued, "Actually, let me tell you something you may not like. Not everyone is like my nephew, who is born with a brain that can study. If he can't study, don't force him. Let him study medicine and make medicine. It's actually quite good."

Luo Jiaorong was immediately furious.

Luo Zijun came over and said, "Sister, I just came out after I finished the exam."

Luo Jiaorong forced a smile, took his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go home, sister will make you something delicious."

She was afraid that if she stayed here any longer, she would be treated strangely by Aunt Wang again.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Wang said, "Aiya Jiaorong, are you leaving so early? Aren't you going to wait for the test results? Although Zijun may not pass, you can still look at other people's names and make friends with them. By the way, my nephew will probably pass out soon. After the results are announced, you, as his sister, will have to give him a red envelope, hehe."

Luo Jiaorong's face turned ashen with anger and she was ready to leave.

Luo Zijun held her hand and said, "It's okay, sister, let's wait for the results to come out."

There are not many people taking the provincial examination today, and the results do not need to be ranked. After the exam, you can come out today, and the results will be posted on the wall at the entrance.

His results should be out by now.

After all, there were only a few people who handed in their papers so early, and the three examiners should have finished grading the papers.

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "Yes, don't worry, wait until the results come out, wait until my nephew's name is posted, I will treat you all, come to my house for dinner!"

Luo Jiaorong had a cold face and said nothing.

Luo Zijun smiled and said, "Aunt Wang, how much money did you put in the red envelope?"

Aunt Wang immediately took out the red envelope with great pride: "It's a full two taels of silver!"

For someone who gets up early and works late to sell fruits, two taels of silver is indeed a lot.

Luo Zijun said, "Aunt Wang is really generous. Are you really going to give away these two taels of silver later?"

"Of course! Passing the exam to become a scholar is a big deal. He's my nephew! I can't be stingy!"

Aunt Wang immediately shouted loudly, as if she was afraid that others couldn't hear her, and she was very proud.

After about an incense stick of time, candidates began to come out of the examination room one after another.

Aunt Wang didn't see her nephew, so she said with a smile on her face, "My nephew has been serious about his work since he was young. I guess he is still checking the test papers."

The sun gradually sets from the sky to the west.

At this time, the exam time has ended and the remaining candidates are coming out one after another.

Aunt Wang finally saw her nephew and said excitedly, "Look, my nephew is here! Look at the way he walks, he's definitely a top scholar!"

Others around her were also waving.

Aunt Wang’s nephew was named Wang Yaozu. He walked over with his head down and a dazed look on his face.

Aunt Wang and others hurried forward to inquire.

Wang Yaozu raised his head and said, "It's all finished, but..."

"Haha, it's good that it's finished! It's good that it's finished!"

Aunt Wang immediately became happier and pointed at Luo Zijun who was standing next to her and said, "This is your brother Zijun. He came out this morning and probably hasn't even finished the first test paper yet. You two can get to know each other and take him out to make some friends who are scholars."

Wang Yaozu glanced at Luo Zijun with no expression on his face.

A group of people surrounded each candidate, chattering non-stop.

I waited for nearly another hour.

A man in official uniform came out of the examination room and pasted a piece of red paper on the right wall.

"Quick! The test results are out!"

Seeing this, everyone rushed over in panic and excitement.

Luo Jiaorong didn't want to go, but Aunt Wang pulled her back: "Haha, Jiaorong, let's go and see my nephew's name! Your aunt's red envelope is indispensable today!"

Aunt Wang’s strength should not be underestimated. She pulled Luo Jiaorong so hard that she stumbled over.

"Zhang Wenliang! Haha, my Wenliang passed the exam!"

"Wang Jian! Haha, my grandson passed the exam!"

Seeing the names on the wall, many people cheered excitedly.

Aunt Wang squeezed to the front, opened her eyes wide and watched from beginning to end, but she did not see her nephew's name.

Although she was illiterate, she knew her nephew's name.

"Hey, where's my nephew's name? Did I forget to write it down?"

Aunt Wang was not convinced, so she looked through it carefully again, but still couldn't find it.

At this time, the faces of the Wang family members changed.

When Aunt Wang was about to ask more questions, Wang Yaozu turned pale and said dejectedly, "I have finished the test paper, but I guessed the math questions... and there are some sentences I don't recognize..."

When these words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue.

Aunt Wang was stunned on the spot.

At this moment, Li Zhengshan's excited voice suddenly came from the crowd nearby: "Luo Zijun! Zijun! Madam, come and see! Our Zijun passed the exam!"

When Luo Jiaorong heard this, her body suddenly shook, as if she was revived instantly. She pushed left and right, and squeezed to the front with all her might. She opened her eyes wide and searched the wall, and soon saw her brother's name.

"Luo Zijun! Luo Zijun! It's really my brother! Haha, my brother passed the exam! Hahaha, my brother passed the exam! Zijun, come and see! You passed the exam and became a scholar!"

Luo Jiaorong suddenly burst into laughter without caring about her image, and as she laughed, tears began to flow.

But she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly squeezed back, grabbed Aunt Wang, who looked distraught, and laughed, "Aunt Wang! Aunt Wang! Come and see, my brother passed the exam! He is a scholar now! Hahahahahaha... Oh, where is your nephew? Where is his name? Why can't I see it? Did you forget to write it down? Haha, Aunt Wang, as an aunt, you can't miss the red envelope today!"

Aunt Wang: "..."
