A car accident, our family of three crossed

In the examination hall, in order to prevent students from cheating by passing information to each other, each student has an independent small room, which is called the examination room.

There were desks, chairs and a small couch for students to rest inside. In Hang Shuheng's opinion, it was similar to the containers of later generations.

When the imperial examination officially begins, all students are not allowed to leave their examination rooms at any time, except for going to the toilet or fetching water to cook food at specific times. Otherwise, they will be treated as cheating.

When Hang Shuheng was sorting his things in his examination room, he suddenly heard a familiar voice calling him.

"Brother Hang, Brother Hang."

Hearing this, Hang Shuheng looked in the direction of the voice and saw a head popping out from the last examination room in the row next to him, winking at him.

It was his former classmate, Li Chengan. Unexpectedly, he passed the examination for the position of a scholar this year. Hang Shuheng was very happy for him.

The two simply nodded and made eye contact before going back to sorting out their own belongings.

Li Chengan came in earlier, so he was able to organize things faster.

Before the formal examination begins, students entering the examination hall can still walk around freely and communicate with others.

After Li Cheng'an packed up his belongings, he went to the outside of Hang Shuheng's examination room to talk to him.

"I haven't congratulated Brother Li yet for passing the exam to become a Tongsheng." Hang Shuheng congratulated him sincerely.

Speaking of which, Li Cheng'an felt a little ashamed. He attributed his success in the examination to good luck. He was the last one on the list.

"That's wrong. Although you're the last on the list, you're already far ahead of those students who didn't pass the exam."

"Really? Brother Hang, after hearing what you said, I feel that I'm not so bad." Li Chengan smiled innocently and became more confident. Who knows, maybe he can get lucky again this time and get the last place or something.

Hang Shuheng remembered that he had heard from his classmates at Hongyuan Academy that Li Chengan had left the academy, so he asked, "I heard that you are no longer in Hongyuan Academy. Which academy are you studying in now?"

Li Cheng pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled: "I haven't had time to think about it yet. I'm not sure which academy I'm going to go to in the future. Anyway, I'll make plans after the college entrance examination is over. Maybe I can get the last place this time! Hahaha..."

The two were chatting when they suddenly felt the light dim. They turned around and saw several young people of the same age blocking their way.

What does this mean? It looks like something bad is going on.

The leading man on the opposite side bowed and said, "Brother Hang, I have long heard of your great name."

Hang Shuheng did not recognize this person, but out of politeness, he still returned the greeting, "Excuse me, brother, who are you?"

Before the man could say anything, several men next to him who looked like his little followers began to mock him.

"What? You don't even know Master Zhang?"

"Hey! Brother Su, this Hang Tongsheng lives in the countryside, so it's normal that he doesn't know Master Zhang from the city."

"Yes, I am a country boy who has never seen the world."

Li Chengan could hardly bear the open and covert ridicule from these people, but Hang Shuheng acted as if it had nothing to do with him. He just watched the people opposite him swearing at him with a half-smile from beginning to end.

Just when Li Chengan was about to lose his temper and argue with the other party, Hang Shuheng spoke up, "Brothers, did you come here just to prove the fact that I am a country boy?"

His tone was indifferent and his expression was half-smile, making it impossible to tell any emotion.

The young man called Master Zhang then spoke again: "I am Zhang Ziming, the young master of Zhang's Timber Shop. Some of my friends are a bit outspoken. If I have offended Brother Hang, I am really sorry. I hope Brother Hang will not blame me."

"I'm not unhappy at all. After all, what they said is true." Hang Shuheng shrugged.

Zhang Ziming was slightly stunned, trying to find a flaw in the other person's expression, but there was none. The man in front of him really didn't seem to be unhappy at all.

This made him feel that he had put in all his effort to provoke the other party, but in the end he just punched a cotton ball, which was a thankless task.

It was more of a rivalry than a provocation. He had paid attention to many of the man's deeds and admired his talent.

He believed that among all the students in this college examination, the one most likely to compete with him for the top spot must be the man in front of him whom he could not understand.

"That's good." Zhang Ziming smiled, and then changed the subject, "I heard that recently the gambling houses have been using Brother Hang and me as a bet, I wonder if Brother Hang has heard anything?"

"I have heard a little bit about it. I heard that Young Master Zhang's family is very popular."

"Brother Hang is not bad either." Zhang Ziming smiled and then asked, "I wonder how confident Brother Hang is?"

Hang Shuheng raised his eyebrows pretending not to understand, "What are you sure of?"

"Of course, it's the certainty of taking the top spot."

“Nothing is absolute in this world. Do your best and leave the rest to fate.”

The two of them fought back and forth secretly, and finally Zhang Ziming was the first to end the fight. He bowed to Hang Shuheng and said, "Then, I hope Brother Hang will do his best. Here, I wish Brother Hang a good result in the exam."

"Thank you very much, it's mutual."

After Zhang Ziming and his group left, Li Chengan looked at their backs as they walked away and said, "This young master Zhang is a hot candidate for this college entrance examination. He ranked first in both the county and prefectural examinations. If he wins the first place again in this college entrance examination, he will be the third place winner. From this, it seems that young master Zhang is determined to win the first place in this college entrance examination."

Whether it is the big three or the small three, that is the goal pursued by every student.

Speaking of the Little Three Scholars, Tanzhou Prefecture produced one a few years ago, and that was Xie Yuxi.

He won the top three prizes at the age of seventeen, but he did not choose to continue to take part in the autumn examination. Instead, he chose to go out to study and enrich his experience.

Hang Shuheng didn't know much about these things, but he had indeed heard Zhou Ting mention that Xie Yuxi had won the top three honors in the imperial examinations.

They had met each other several times before, but they had never really met. His biggest impression of Xie Yuxi was that he had a good-looking appearance, so good-looking that it made people jealous.

Not only is she good-looking, she is also well-educated, which makes those who are not only ugly but also poorly educated feel ashamed of themselves.

Li Chengan talked a lot. After talking about Xie Yuxi's deeds, he went back to the college entrance examination and thought that Zhang Ziming was indeed a strong opponent.

He patted his chest to encourage Hang Shuheng, "But please rest assured, Brother Hang, I will naturally support you."

As he spoke, he came closer and lowered his voice, saying, "I bet fifty taels on you, buddy. My expenses for this year depend entirely on you."
