Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path

Sure enough, for this exam, Chu Zhuang still "can't do it"!

"Stop whispering!"

Looking at the whispers in the examination room, Jiao Changning frowned and reminded everyone in a deep voice.

Only then did the sight that stayed on Chu Zhuang dissipate.

When the exam time came, Chu Zhuang handed in a blank exam paper.

Jiao Changning glanced at Chu Zhuang's test paper, then at everyone in the classroom, and put away the test paper.

When Jiao Changning left with the test paper, heated discussions immediately erupted in the classroom.

"See, Chu Zhuang didn't write a single word."

"I handed in a blank paper like the first time?"

"The topic is difficult, but it's not like you can't know any of them, right?"

……

Gossip is the nature of human beings, many people are very interested in the fact that he handed in a blank paper even if they didn't bet on the game about Chu Zhuang.

Listening to these conversations, Zhang Yuanbin frowned slightly, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes.

Could it be that Chu Zhuang really couldn't overcome the difficulty of the first round of exams?

Although there were voices talking about Chu Zhuang everywhere, Chu Zhuang didn't care much about it. After finishing the exam for a day, he shook his sleeves and left directly.

"Have you heard? Chu Zhuang handed in a blank paper for the first exam again."

Chu Zhangyang found Chu Hesheng and discussed the news with him excitedly.

Originally, they thought that Chu Zhuang could make up this course in the past few months. After all, the requirements are not high, as long as they answer [-]% of the questions correctly, they can pass.

But who knew that Chu Zhuang didn't make any progress at all, it was still a blank paper, zero points!

There was a smile on the corner of Chu Hesheng's lips. He was not as excited as Chu Zhangyang, but this was good news for them.

"It seems that this imperial examination has nothing to do with Chu Zhuang." Chu Hesheng said gloatingly, shaking his head.

Chu Zhangyang squinted his eyes when he heard the words, and nodded thoughtfully.

"I don't know if Brother Chu placed a bet?" Chu Hesheng looked at Chu Zhangyang and asked.

"Bets?"

Chu Zhangyang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what Chu Hesheng said about the opening of the outside gambling house about the Chuzhuang gambling game.

"No."

Chu Zhangyang shook his head and said: "The fact that Chu Zhuang failed to pass the first round of examinations is now a certainty, and it is impossible for a gambling house to make a loss-making business. How could it be possible to set up such a gamble?"

"Brother Chu is wrong."

Chu Hesheng reminded: "Now only the people of Yushan Academy know the results of the last exam in Chuzhuang, and the news has not been spread yet."

"It's still a [-]-[-] split on whether Chu Zhuang can pass or not, but now you can still bet!"

Chu Zhuang's reputation is too great. Even though the results of the first round of exams were not good, there are not a few people who have confidence in him.

Therefore, there are not a few people in the market who can pass Chuzhuang.

But after the results of Yushan Academy's last assessment came out, it was hard to say.

I'm afraid that at that time, there will be a swarm of bees all over Chuzhuang, right?

It is impossible for the gambling house to do this kind of loss-making business, and the gambling market will definitely be closed at that time, so they must bet as soon as possible if they want to place a bet!

Chu Hesheng had already sent his servants home to get money to place bets just now.

"Yup!"

Chu Zhangyang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, yes, not many people know this news yet!

But in a blink of an eye, Chu Zhangyang's complexion became a little ugly again.

Although I know this is an opportunity to make money, but this bet also requires capital.

And Chu Zhangyang couldn't even afford to rent a good house, so where did he get the money?

How could Chu Zhangyang be reconciled to seeing such a good opportunity to make money slip away from him, especially if he was still stepping on Chu Zhuang's body to make money?

Chu Zhangyang himself has no money, but Sun Dehua and Chu Lianqing have!

In order to get close to Sima Jincheng, Sun Dehua obeyed Chu Zhangyang's advice. Chu Zhangyang asked him to take the money, and he would not refuse to take it!

As for Chu Lianqing, he would be happy to bet on it!

After thinking about this, Chu Zhangyang didn't continue to hang out with Chu Hesheng, and immediately went to find Sun Dehua.

"Brother Chu, how was the exam today?"

Sun Dehua knew that Chu Zhangyang was coming, so he immediately came to greet him from the house and asked attentively.

Now that Sun Dehua has no way out, he can only hold Chu Zhangyang's thigh tightly to have a chance of life, so he dare not neglect him at all.

Chu Zhangyang was anxious. If he delays for a while now, the news might spread, so he ignored the politeness and said straight to the point: "There is a profitable business coming to you."

"Make money?" Sun Dehua was slightly taken aback.

"Do you know about the Chuzhuang gambling game outside?" Chu Zhangyang asked.

"This, I know." Sun Dehua frowned, not understanding why Chu Zhangyang suddenly brought up this matter, but he still nodded.

Anyone who is a scholar in Dongfeng Mansion knows about this gamble.

All the big and small gambling houses in Dongfeng Mansion opened this game, and everyone was very curious about it. There were not a few people who bet, and it seemed to have become the biggest game of the day.

"Bet that Chu Zhuang will not pass the exam, I will guarantee you to make money!"

Chu Zhangyang rolled his eyes, and put forward his purpose for coming: "The money we earn at that time will be divided between the two of us!"

In the end, he wanted Sun Dehua to spend his capital, and Chu Zhangyang couldn't look too ugly and take all the money he won, so he could only split half with Sun Dehua.

"Huh?" Sun Dehua pursed his lips tightly, with some hesitation on his face.

He naturally wants to make money.

Although Sun Dehua brought a lot of money here, he spent a lot of money along the way, and the cost of Dongfeng Mansion was high, so he was actually a little tight on money.

If he can make money, he is naturally happy.

But can this bet on Chu Zhuangtong fail to win?

"Brother Chu, why are you so confident? Although Chu Zhuang's first round of exams is indeed a bit weak, but his talent and reputation are there, maybe he can make up for this shortcoming in a few months!"

Sun Dehua did not directly agree to Chu Zhangyang, but asked him why.

"Ah!"

Chu Zhangyang was not worried that Sun Dehua took the news and went to place bets alone, so he didn't hide it from him, and directly revealed today's exam results.

"Zero score?!" Sun Dehua widened his eyes and asked in shock: "The first assessment was zero, but didn't he improve later? How could he..."

"Chu Zhuang didn't spend time reading books these days, but set up an academy in such a dilapidated place like Yongjian Lane!" Chu Zhangyang said sarcastically with a smile on his lips.

If they didn't know about Chu Zhuang's opening of the school, then Chu Hesheng and Chu Zhangyang would definitely have doubts.

But they just inquired about it not long ago, so this zero score is taken for granted by them.

Chu Zhuang's thoughts are all on starting a school, so how can he have the time to read books?

"He also opened an academy?" Sun Dehua asked in a daze.

Chu Zhangyang didn't have the heart to say too much, so he looked at Sun Dehua and got back to the topic: "Do you want to place a bet? It's late, once the news gets out, even if you want to place a bet, you will have no chance at that time!"

"Down! Down! Down!"

Sun Dehua was not in the mood to pay attention to the opening of the school in Chuzhuang, so he nodded in agreement.

This is a great opportunity to make money!

"How much to bet?" Chu Zhangyang asked.

Sun Dehua knew that Chu Zhangyang was preventing him from concealing something, and he didn't dare to provoke him, so he could only call Zhao Yimeng and ask her to take out all the cash at home.

From their point of view, this gamble is a sure bet, so it must be as much money as there is money!

"Husband, why is this?"

When Zhao Yimeng heard that Sun Dehua said that he would take out all the money, his heart skipped a beat and he asked.

"Women, what are you doing asking about these things?!"

Seeing Zhao Yimeng asking questions in front of Chu Zhangyang, Sun Dehua felt that he had hurt his face, so he lowered his cheeks and scolded in a deep voice.

Zhao Yimeng was afraid that Sun Dehua would hit her again when she was really angry, suppressing the anger and disgust in her heart, forced a smile and said: "Please wait a moment, my husband, I will go get it immediately."

After speaking, Zhao Yimeng went to the bedroom to get money.

"Ma'am, do you want to take all of these?"

Looking at the box in front of her, Xiaocui pursed her lips and asked.

This is all their property now!

If they are all gone, how will they live in Dongfeng Mansion in the future?

"Take it!"

Zhao Yimeng gritted her teeth and said.

She really wanted to withhold some, but although Sun Dehua handed over the money to Zhao Yimeng for safekeeping, he knew exactly how much money was in the family.

If Zhao Yimeng dared to cheat, he might be beaten again at night.

Seeing Zhao Yimeng's expression, Xiaocui didn't dare to say more, so she took the box and followed Zhao Yimeng.

"Husband, all the money in the family is here." Zhao Yimeng asked Xiaocui to put the box on the table.

Sun Dehua immediately opened the box, counted it, nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Chu Zhangyang and said, "Brother Chu, Sun's family property is all here, 140 three gold coins and [-] silver coins."

The Sun family was already hurting because of the compensation to Chuzhuang, and later gave the Zhao family a large dowry, and the family was almost wiped out.

In order for Sun Dehua to go to Yushan Academy in Dongfeng Mansion, the Sun family even sold some of their family collections, and only then did they get together [-] gold coins for Sun Dehua to take with him on the road.

It's just that Sun Dehua spends money lavishly. At the beginning, the newlyweds also doted on Zhao Yimeng very much, and he was willing to spend money on cosmetics and jewelry for her.

So it took more than half of it in less than a year.

"Only so much..."

Chu Zhangyang looked at the hundreds of gold coins in front of him and couldn't help but frowned. If such a small amount of silver was in the past, he would never pay attention to it.

But without the financial support of Sima Lianhe and Jiang Xinyan, Chu Zhangyang is not well-off now, even if he can't afford a hundred gold coins.

"Brother Chu, when do you think you can place a bet?"

Sun Dehua knew that Chu Zhangyang thought it was too little, but he couldn't help it. Zhao Yimeng didn't bring much dowry to marry, and the Sun family only had so much money.

"The curfew is coming soon. It's definitely too late to go. Let's go tomorrow morning."

Chu Zhangyang glanced at Sun Dehua and added: "Tomorrow morning, the two of us will go together!"

In this way, there is no need to worry about Sun Dehua's other hidden money.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Sun Dehua nodded repeatedly.

"I still have something to go home today, I will come to you tomorrow morning!"

Chu Zhangyang still wanted to go to Chu Lianqing to place a bet, but he didn't stay any longer, turned around and left.

Sun Dehua and Zhao Yimeng sent Chu Zhangyang out of the door.
