Chapter 558: The Second Enrollment
Wang Anshi's arrival made Tokyo city boil. Even the second enrollment of Geophysics College was overwhelmed by the news of Wang Anshi. However, those students who had been preparing for the admission of Geophysics College for a whole year did not forget this. They conducted examinations in various departments under the arrangement of the college. Compared with last year, the college expanded its enrollment scale, which doubled last year, which was 600. However, the number of students participating in the application reached more than 3,000, and the enrollment ratio reached 5 to 1. It can be said that the competition is very fierce. ◇↓,
Today is the day when the Grammar College will release the results. Each department will list the results of all candidates, and there is also the number of candidates admitted to this department. At that time, candidates only need to check whether their rankings can be entered.
Cheng Muyang was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep all night. The next day, before the sun rose, he jumped out of the bed and washed up, and then woke up the two friends who lived with Sun Lin and Wang Xun. The three of them ran to the college gate to wait. At this time, the list had not been posted, but many candidates who were waiting like them had gathered. Some of them didn't even eat breakfast, so they bought some food at the street stalls, and waited for the results to be released.
"Brother Yunqi, Senior Brother Ling, you must be hungry. I'll buy a few Hu cakes!" Sun Lin, who was slightly fat, was anxious, and the three of them rushed over, and they didn't have breakfast either. Now, smelling the aroma of the food at the stalls around, they naturally felt very distressed.
"Brother Zhongkai, you are really a big heart. I don't have any appetite now." At this time, Wang Xun smiled bitterly when he heard Sun Lin's words. He was now worried about whether he could pass the exam, so how could he have the heart to have breakfast?
"Senior Brother Ling said it well, I don't have the intention to eat!" Cheng Muyang also smiled bitterly, and at the same time he couldn't help but admire Sun Lin. Because he found that no matter what happened, Sun Lin could have a good attitude, at least he would never forget to eat.
"You two are now inferior. If you don't eat breakfast, you won't have the strength to do it. Look at so many people around you. If the results are released later, you will definitely squeeze around. If you don't have the strength, how can you squeeze in front? So you still have to eat food!" Sun Lin pointed to the more and more candidates around him and said that although the results of the Grammar College of Physics cannot be compared with the imperial examination, it is not much different. If you don't have a good body, you will really not be able to get below the rankings later, let alone see the rankings as soon as possible.
After Sun Lin finished speaking, he went to buy Hu cakes. He also bought four at a time, which were chopped mutton and chili peppers. They tasted fragrant, spicy and crispy. Although Sun Lin was not as good as Cheng Muyang and Wang Xun in his studies, he had a lot of appetite. It was no problem to eat two Hu cakes by himself. After eating, he also bought three bowls of soy milk. Although Cheng Muyang and Wang Xun had no appetite, they could not resist Sun Lin's kindness. In the end, they could only forcefully stuff Hu cakes and soy milk into their stomachs.
When the sun was noon, the closed gate of the college finally opened. Then the dean Zhao Yan, vice president Shen Kuo, and all the professors and lecturers from various departments of the college came out. Then Zhao Yan said a few simple words and immediately announced the start of the results. After all, the candidates below were waiting, but not many people were willing to listen to him talking nonsense.
The walls on both sides of the gate of the Gewu Academy have long been transformed into notice walls. Usually, some important notices will be posted here, and the admission list is no exception. Some college administrators put the list on the wall with red paper. The candidates around immediately flocked to find their names on the dense lists.
Cheng Muyang and the other two squeezed in the front. Thanks to Sun Lin, although he was obese, he was not fat, but had the strength to set the way forward, which made the three squeeze in the front. Then, six eyes began to search for their names on the list, but their hearts were like a drum, both nervous and excited.
Cheng Muyang first found the list of candidates in the physics department. This year, the number of students enrolled in the physics department reached 100, which means that the exam results must be in the top 100 before they can be admitted. Although Cheng Muyang consciously took the exam well, he has also met many auditors in the physics department this year. Some people's talents and hard work even make him feel inferior, so he has no confidence in whether he can enter the top 100.
It is precisely because of this that Cheng Muyang did not start from the first place when he looked at the list, but found the first hundredth place to look up. However, before he found his name, Sun Lin next to him suddenly slammed his shoulder excitedly and shouted: "Twelve, Brother Yunqi, you actually got the twelfth place and almost entered the top ten!"
Cheng Muyang was also shocked when he heard Sun Lin's words and hurriedly looked up. Sure enough, he found that his name appeared in the twelfth place on the list, which made him very excited and even wanted to scream. However, thinking of so many people around him, he finally resisted the impulse in his heart, took a long breath to calm down, and then turned to Sun Lin and said, "Brother Zhongkai, have you found your name? How are you doing the exam?"
"Don't mention it, the Department of Calculation recruits 210 people, and my ranking is 235, and I can squeeze in if I am a little short of it." Sun Lin said, pointing to the list next to the Department of Physics and said, "But Brother Ling has been admitted, and he is 198th."
"Brother Zhongkai, don't be discouraged. The grades of our two are almost the same, but I'm just a little bit lucky!" Wang Xun also comforted him. He was very excited to see him getting into the exam, but he saw that his friend Sun Lin almost couldn't be admitted. At that moment, he could only suppress his excitement and comfort him in a low voice.
"Haha, it's nothing if you haven't been admitted. At worst, I can listen to you for another year. Anyway, I'm younger than Brother Yunqi, and it's nothing if you wait for another year!" After hearing the comfort of my friend, Sun Lin laughed and said, his mentality was indeed very good. Although it was a bit regretful for him to fail the exam, he had confidence in himself. At worst, he would definitely be able to get in after waiting for another year.
Seeing Sun Lin's open-minded look, Cheng Muyang couldn't help but feel very impressed. Speaking of which, Sun Lin is the smartest among the three of them, but it's a pity that he doesn't work hard, otherwise with his qualifications, he would never fail the exam.
Sun Lin did not take it too seriously about his failure in the exam, and even clamored to celebrate Cheng Muyang and Wang Xun. The two of them refused, so the three of them hired a carriage to enter Tokyo City. Speaking of which, although the Academy of Geophysics has formed a market and there are several good hotels, the specifications are not particularly high and the food is average. So when they encounter happy events, they usually go to Tokyo City to find a high-end restaurant.
The Sun Lin family has been doing business for generations, so he is not short of money and celebrates his two friends. So in the end he takes Cheng Muyang and Wang Xun to the famous Qiwei Building in Tokyo. They all know that this restaurant has a relationship with the dean Zhao Yan, so students from the college will come here when celebrating.
The three of them went into the restaurant and found a seat by the window to sit down, then ordered a few specialty dishes from the restaurant, and two pots of good wine. The three of them ate and chatted. Cheng Muyang and Wang Xun could no longer suppress their excitement and began to look forward to their life after becoming formal students of the college. Although Sun Lin was a little envious, he had confidence in himself and would definitely become a student of the college like them next year, so he also participated with a smile.
However, after chatting about the college, Cheng Muyang suddenly changed his tone and said, "Brother Zhongkai, the senior brother, the court rejected Mr. Linchuan's proposal for reform, and only gave Mr. Linchuan a noble position. Obviously, he was not going to reuse Mr. Mr. Linchuan. I wonder what you think about this?"
When he heard Cheng Muyang mention Wang Anshi's incident, Sun Lin immediately said with annoyed expression: "The court is really confused. Now everyone knows that the Song Dynasty has many internal conflicts. If the reform is not implemented, it will cause a major change sooner or later. Why can't the court see such an obvious thing?"
"Brother Zhongkai, be careful!" As soon as Sun Lin finished speaking, he heard Wang Xun whispering, "Brother Zhongkai, you don't know. It is actually the official who rejected Mr. Linchuan's proposal for reform. Several ministers in the court did not express any opinions on this, and even Ouyang and others supported it very much. Unfortunately, the official refused to agree this time, and even the prince tried hard to persuade him in the end, but the official still did not agree, so this led to Mr. Linchuan's proposal for reform failed!"
Wang Xun was born in a family of officials and had some connections in the officialdom. He could find out some news that ordinary people could not find out, and even Zhao Xu supported the reform, which surprised Sun Lin and Cheng Muyang.
"Senior Brother Ling, since even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince expressed his support for the reform, why did the officials oppose so firmly?" Cheng Muyang asked again at this time.
"I don't know about this. As the saying goes, the holy heart is unpredictable. I'm afraid that except for the big figures in the court, others don't know what the officials are thinking." Wang Xun smiled bitterly when he heard this.
"Whether it is the court or the official, it is a bit unwise to refuse Mr. Linchuan's proposal to reform. I heard that someone from the Imperial College and the Imperial College proposed to write another petition. Do you want to participate?" Sun Lin said again at this time. Although he had a good attitude when encountering things, he was a young man after all, and he was inevitably impulsive in doing things. He even naively believed that as long as he gathered the strength of his young students, he could force the court to change his decisions again.
"Go! You must go, and you must not let the court go any further!" Wang Xun also spoke with a firm look on his face. Seeing that both friends said they wanted to go, Cheng Muyang, the most steady, thought for a while, finally nodded in agreement. It can be said that as long as someone is willing to take the lead, the three of them will definitely participate in the second petition.
Chapter completed!
