Chapter 230 My lackey dared to laugh at me
There are more people coming today.
Did Wang Jiayou find all the students who were still staying in the inn?
Seeing Cao Shuqing glaring at him angrily, Wang Jiayou laughed: "Little prodigy, didn't you say you could get the top spot? But it seems that you are not the one who gets the top spot."
Pang Changquan also smiled and said: "It seems that this little prodigy is not on the list!"
The undisguised voice of ridicule emphasized the three words "little prodigy", and the sarcasm was very obvious.
If Wang Jiayou's ridicule only made him angry, Pang Changquan's ridicule made him feel betrayed.
His lackey in the previous life actually dared to laugh at him now?
He stared at Pang Changquan with cold eyes.
Unfortunately, Pang Changquan was not afraid of him because of his fierce eyes. Instead, he laughed out loud: "Oh, Brother Wang, look at the look in this little prodigy's eyes. It's so fierce. It's really scary! Hahaha!"
He understood that people like Pang Changquan would not do anything without benefits.
In his previous life, he was servile and flattering to me, doing his best to please me, and he did his best to do his job to the best of his ability, because he was a high-ranking official with great power.
If I had been the top scorer, he would have been respectful to me and tried to make friends with me, just like he did in his previous life. But since I failed, he came to take advantage of my misfortune.
After all, Wang Jiayou, who has now become a scholar, is more valuable than him who failed the exam!
Wang Jiayou took out the gambling agreement and said, "Little prodigy, the result is out. You don't want to admit it, do you? It's clearly written in black and white. You want an apology, right? The most important thing is, the gambling amount is about 300 taels of silver. When will you pay it?"
Cao Shuqing clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves and said, "I just got a bad seat and fainted from the stench. Otherwise, can you beat me?"
"Who doesn't brag?" Wang Jiayou sneered, "The seats in the examination room are a matter of luck, and luck is also a part of strength. If you are unlucky, then your ancestors' graves are not smoking! What? Do you want to use this excuse to cheat?"
Cao Shuqing was so angry that he was shaking again, but no matter what he said, he just had no rank. The more he talked, the more he was ridiculed!
Turning around, he gritted his teeth and said to Yan Hua: "Give it to them!"
Yan Hua hesitated for a moment. That was three hundred taels, the only money they had. How could they go back after giving them three hundred taels? Would they starve all the way back?
At this moment, he couldn't help but complain in his heart, why make a bet?
When he fainted in the examination room, knowing that he would not be on the list, why didn't he leave immediately? If he left, could these people still chase him to Ningshan County to fulfil the bet?
Seeing Yan Hua didn't move, Cao Shuqing shouted coldly: "I say, give it to them!"
Yan Hua had no choice but to take out the banknotes reluctantly.
But he spat in his heart, why is he using the Yan family's money to pretend to be so important? Pah!
It’s not that Cao Shuqing had never thought about leaving quietly, but he came to Jiazhou to take part in the college entrance examination, and there were two things he wanted to do.
The first thing is to find the monk and ask him to check his fortune again!
Secondly, there was a great scholar named Mr. Ping in Jiazhou, who was said to have connections with the Imperial College in the capital. If he could get in touch with this connection and pass the examination, he could go to the academy in the capital with his recommendation letter. Going to the capital in advance to build connections would be more beneficial to his future imperial examinations.
But before the exam, he went to the east of the city and looked for the monk in the temple, but they both said they had never seen the monk.
As for Mr. Ping, he tried to create a chance encounter or send a visit letter, but was unsuccessful. The reply was that Mr. Ping was out visiting friends and was not at home.
He thought, after the exam, Mr. Ping should come back, right?
He was sick because of the stench. Now that he is well, he is being laughed at by these people. He has not been able to go look for these two people yet, so of course he is unwilling to leave immediately.
He also knew very well that if he did not fulfill the bet, Wang Jiayou would not let him go.
Use three hundred taels of silver to buy some peace and quiet!
Wang Jiayou received the banknote, and the smile on his face became even more intense: "The little prodigy is really generous, giving us three hundred taels for free. I will host you all today and invite you all to Jixiang Tower to celebrate and send you off!"
A group of people gathered and walked out, talking and laughing.
"Brother Wang, I heard that the first person in the case is a scholar from Ningshan County. He hasn't left yet. How about asking him to come along as well?"
"Yes, brother Wang, we have long wanted to see the style of the first place in the case! It is a great honor to be able to benefit from your help today!"
Wang Jiayou waved his hand and said, "Please! We will go together now. Remember, that person is a humble and low-key person, not that little prodigy. Everyone, please be polite and don't offend him!"
"Brother Wang, don't worry, we still have some sense of propriety!"
……
Seeing that Wang Jiayou forgot to force him to apologize, Cao Shuqing had just breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard these words, he was stunned.
The first case is from Ningshan County?
Without thinking too much, he chased after him: "Wait!"
Wang Jiayou turned around and asked, "Why, the little prodigy wants to go back on his word?"
Cao Shuqing suppressed the sour feeling in his heart and asked with humiliation: "Who is the first in the case?"
"Hahaha!" This caused another burst of laughter. After all, didn't this person say before that he would get the first place in the case?
"Little prodigy, why are you still not convinced? Do you want to challenge the case champion?"
Ignoring their teasing and ridicule, Cao Shuqing pursed his lips and asked again: "Who is the first in the case in Ningshan County?"
Wang Jiayou rolled his eyes: "Can't you see since you don't have eyes? Why should I tell you?" After that, a group of people walked away.
Cao Shuqing was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but he also knew that those students were older and taller than him, and with his small body of just over ten years old, he couldn't beat them all alone.
Seeing him come in with anger, Yan Hua pretended to clean up and wiped the table with a rag.
Cao Shuqing turned his head abruptly: "Yan Hua, did you go to see the list that day?"
Yan Hua whispered: "I'm going!"
"What's the name of the suspect?"
Yan Hua looked at his fierce appearance and felt disdainful in her heart, but she replied respectfully: "Zhuo, Zhuo Chen!"
Cao Shuqing's pupils tightened, Zhuo Chen?
Zhuo Chen!!!
In the previous life, the student who was accepted as Pei Hongmiao’s closed disciple was called Ning Jinqiu.
In this life, the student who was accepted as Pei Hongmiao's closed disciple was called Zhuo Chen!
In his previous life, Ning Jinqiu was the top scorer in the provincial examination, the second place in the metropolitan examination, and the top scorer in the palace examination. He only got the third place and was completely suppressed.
In this life, Zhuo Chen was obviously not as good as him in the county examination and the prefectural examination. So, if he hadn't fainted, the first place in the case should have been his, but it was taken by Zhuo Chen!
Cao Shuqing was almost angry to death.
He was sulking for a while, thinking about how this college entrance examination had gone so badly. He wanted more urgently to find the monk and ask him to predict his fate again.
He immediately stood up and said to Yan Hua, "Go tell the driver to prepare the carriage and go to East City."
After a while, the carriage swayed and went to the East City.
But after wandering around for a while, not only did I not see the monk, I couldn't even see a bald head.
Cao Shuqing asked the driver to go to Mr. Ping's house instead.
Two will always meet one!
