The day the results are released
The next day, Shen Ange went to bed early and looked in the mirror. It happened that Yun Zhi and a kind of maid came in carrying clothes and water. She couldn't see behind them, so she called Yun Zhi.
"Yun Zhi, please hold a mirror behind me and let me take a look. Has the rash on your body gone away?"
Yun Zhi put down the table that held the clothes and stood behind her holding a bronze mirror.
"Girl, you have faded a lot."
She couldn't see what Yun Zhi said and asked happily: "Really? Then my medicinal bath for two days in a row will still work."
Now that it has subsided a lot, it should be okay to go out.
Shen Ange endured his temper and all the maids went out, and asked Yun Zhi to close the door and take out two sets of men's clothes like a thief.
"Yun Zhi, let's go out."
Before Yun Zhi could stop her, she immediately said to stop her thoughts, "Yun Zhi, the rash on my body has almost subsided, and this men's clothing has also covered it tightly. At worst, I will wear a bamboo hat to avoid the wind. No matter what, today I have to go out."
Yun Zhi looked at Shen Ange's pleading eyes, then looked at the clothes she had prepared, and had no choice but to compromise.
On the long street, except for the moon festival, today's crowd is probably the largest.
Shen Ange, who is dressed in men's clothing, and Yun Zhi, who is dressed in men's clothing, are familiar with each other this time. This time Yun Zhi, who is wearing men's clothing, is much more relaxed than before.
The two of them found a teahouse, found a good seat in a private room on the second floor, ordered a pot of tea and a plate of snacks, and waited for the news of the results.
This street is the main street. If there is news about the release of the list, it will spread quickly throughout the streets and alleys.
Her heart and eyes were full of unconcealable excitement, and as soon as she got the news, she immediately went to cash the banknote.
Today she was wearing a bamboo hat and men's clothing. In order to avoid others seeing her thinness and making any mistakes, she also hired a few tall boys to accompany her.
Yun Zhi couldn't sit still at the side, thinking about the result of the girl's bet, which was only five hundred taels. If it was wasted, she would be heartbroken.
"Girl, why don't we wait?"
"You are stupid, this location is the best, we will take action as soon as there is any movement."
Shen Ange looked out the window at the crowds of people on the street.
She pulled Yun Zhi down and sat down, poured her a cup of tea and said, "Peace of mind."
Just after midnight, the already lively Yong'an Street became agitated, and then I heard people running around telling each other, "The results are released, the results are released!"
There were more and more voices, and people quickly rushed towards the Ministry of Rites.
"Girl, why don't I go down now to inquire about the results?" Yun Zhi looked at the bustle outside and couldn't help it.
Shen Ange slightly opened the corner of his bamboo hat and frowned when he saw the huge crowd below.
I never expected that there would be so many people on the street today. This posture is the most likely to cause accidents.
"That's all, don't rush it." When the end came, Shen Ange became calmer, "Wait a little longer, let's drink a few more cups of tea."
There are many people on the street now, and there will be more people cashing their banknotes later.
There are so many people...it's easy for trouble to happen.
Although both of them were dressed in men's clothing, they were women after all, and their body shapes were different from men's, which caused many inconveniences.
The two of them didn't wait long. Not long after, someone returned to the teahouse, and his tone changed: "I'll tell you! The number one must be Mr. Li, who comes from a martial arts family. This time he really lived up to expectations!"
Another person replied: "Yes! Yes! I just said that Mr. Li is a talented person, but... no one expected that Mr. Zhou failed! What a pity!"
Hearing this, Singer Shen An shook his head, dropped the tea cup, and smashed it on the table.
Yun Zhi was shocked. When she heard that Master Zhou had failed the exam, the girl's actions made her sad, but she opened her mouth and didn't know what to say.
Shen Ange replied, "Yun Zhi, go downstairs and ask about Wei Lang's ranking and my brother's."
Yun Zhi stood aside and hesitated to speak. Shen Ange waved her hand and asked her to get out quickly.
She probably wanted to say that girl, you... still care about Mr. Zhou.
"Alas," Shen Ange sighed.
Brother Jing treated her very well from beginning to end. If not... maybe she would really like him. Although the two of them were not destined to be together, she always wished him well.
It's just that these small concerns and hopes are so small that they can be ignored, not to mention that they are so insignificant compared to dad's life and the Shen family.
Yun Zhi came back soon, her face full of joy.
After closing the door, she said happily: "Girl, good news, good news, the eldest young master is the top pick in high school, that Wei Lang is really the second pick."
Although she was mentally prepared, Shen Ange's eyes lit up instantly and her emotions fluctuated accordingly.
At this time, Yun Zhi said, "Girl, it's just..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that my servant also found out that Mr. Zhou has been drinking to drown his sorrows since he refused to marry last time. Lord Zhou and Mrs. Zhou are very worried. She didn't expect that she really failed the exam."
Shen Ange changed a cup and poured tea.
It’s okay if you fail.
If you fail the exam, you won't be the same as in your previous life.
His path in this life will be different from his previous life.
Now that we have the result, all that's left is to cash in the banknotes. Shen Ange gave Yun Zhi a piece of silver and said, "Hire a few more thugs and we'll cash in the banknotes later."
Not long after, Yun Zhi came back with someone, "The girl has been hired."
Now, Shen Ange felt a little relieved, these six people should be enough.
Shen Ange retracted his thoughts and said, "Let's go now."
She was unable to come last time, so she was sent by Yun Zhi. This time, under the leadership of Yun Zhi, she finally came to the gambling house.
Sure enough, this gambling house was just as she imagined, very lively. Some people were proud and some were frustrated, mostly because of the release of the results.
Regardless of winning or losing, more people choose to take out money again and again, hoping to win back a victory.
Exchanging the banknotes went more smoothly than Shen Ange imagined. She was wearing a windproof hat. The shopkeeper wanted to see what the person in front of him looked like, but he didn't have a chance.
I can only praise him based on his clothes: "This young man has good eyesight and knows how to recognize people. Why don't you give me another shot?"
Shen Ange put the banknote in his arms, but it didn't fall into his trap.
After counting, he was about to take Yun Zhi away, only to hear a familiar shout at the door: "Ask me for gambling money from this young master, are you afraid that you don't have the ability?"
Shen Ange raised his head and looked up. It turned out that Ren Jie had lost too much in his bets, and now he was taking advantage of the situation and wanted to get back all his previous bets.
"When did this young master place a bet with you? Don't be ignorant. I'm afraid this is a black workshop. Be careful that this young master leads someone to copy it."
He said that he wanted someone to take action, but the shopkeeper of the gambling house in the city was not a good person. He was used to traveling all over the country and had seen many scoundrels. He was not afraid of people like Ren Jie at all.
Shen Ange followed the principle that doing more is worse than doing less, and wanted to avoid Ren Jie. Unexpectedly, officers and soldiers filed in, and the leader was Mr. Zhang of the Yushi Yamen. This was a serious situation.
