Chapter 340 He is not incapable of playing this way
Lu Shao looked at Mr. Hu with a half-smile.
"I saw that Mr. Hu kept mentioning a woman as soon as we met just now."
"I haven't paid much attention to the list posted below yet. I guess Brother Hu is very confident that he will pass the exam this time."
"With Brother Hu's talent, he should be able to easily get into the top ten."
It's not that he doesn't know how to play this way.
Although what Lu Shao said was a bit disheartening, Mr. Hu still liked to listen to it.
He also felt that with his talent and knowledge, he should have no problem passing the imperial examination, and might even be able to make it into the top ten.
He smiled and said, "I feel like I did pretty well in the exam this time."
He changed the subject and said, "But he is not as good as Brother Lu."
"Recently, many people have paid much attention to Brother Lu. Brother Lu also has a seat in the betting of the top prize in major casinos."
"I think this year's champion will most likely be Brother Lu."
These words are a bit sour and flattering.
He didn't really believe that Lu Shao could pass the exam and become the top scholar.
What's even more unacceptable is that a scholar from the village can get so much attention.
There were also several young masters from aristocratic families that he knew, who all took the initiative to lower their status and make friends with Lu Shao.
He is now deliberately promoting Lu Shao so that if he fails to pass the imperial examination, Lu Shao will lose face.
By the way, it can also sow discord between Lu Shao and other people present.
After all, there are some people who have good family backgrounds and good knowledge. If they were outdone by Lu Shao, they would probably not be happy.
At least listening to his words should make you feel uncomfortable.
How could Lu Shao not see through his flattery and sarcasm?
He still had a faint smile on his face. "Although I don't deserve it, I still want to thank Brother Hu for his support. I appreciate your good words."
"If I can really win the first prize, I will definitely treat you to a meal."
The people he can truly befriend are not so narrow-minded.
Distancing yourself from someone out of jealousy or unhappiness is actually a good thing, as it will also allow you to realize earlier that the other person is not worth relating to.
That's why he directly caught the high branch thrown by the other party.
I also learned this from my young wife. No one should feel frustrated.
Sure enough, Mr. Hu choked.
I didn't expect Lu Shao to accept it. Shouldn't he have been more humble?
He laughed dryly, "Then I would like to congratulate Brother Lu first."
Lu Shao smiled and didn't say anything, obviously too lazy to pay attention to him.
No one present was stupid and could see the confrontation between the two.
On the contrary, they were very unhappy with Mr. Hu's behavior.
They are not fools, how could they be fooled?
Besides, the reason they are on good terms with Lu Shao is not simply because of his knowledge.
And I have been interacting with Lu Shao these days.
The other person is not only calm and sophisticated in his speech and behavior, but also comfortable to get along with.
They also discussed and exchanged many articles together.
In terms of knowledge, he is indeed superior to them.
They were also quite convinced.
On the contrary, Mr. Hu, who has always liked to curry favor with the powerful, is not liked by them.
It’s just that the other party’s family background is not low, so it’s not easy for them to turn against him or do it too obviously.
Now that Mr. Hu has behaved like this, they feel that they should stay away from such people in the future.
At this moment, there was a commotion below.
Everyone looked out the window and saw that the list was being posted.
Although I can see the situation on the other side, the words on the list are invisible at this distance.
Everyone present became more anxious and their breathing became faster.
Lu Shao was confident that he would pass the exam, so he was not as nervous as everyone else.
Soon, a young master's servant rushed in.
"Sir, you got it. You got it."
The rankings will be posted first from the list at the back, and this young man will be ranked at the back.
But it also made him very excited.
He held the cup excitedly, the tea spilled out, "Great, I won."
Everyone congratulated him.
Then more servants rushed upstairs to announce the good news.
Ji Songbai also won this time and ranked pretty well, in the middle position.
When he heard the servant's report, he couldn't help but get excited.
He grabbed Lu Shao's arm and said, "Brother Shao, I got it. I actually got it."
He then said gratefully: "It is really thanks to you this time. With your guidance, I was able to pass the exam."
When he was in the county town, he would often go to Lu Shao to ask for advice.
After arriving in the provincial capital, Lu Shao predicted the questions based on the examiner's preferences and style and told him about them.
Unexpectedly, Lu Shao actually guessed the answers to two similar questions.
As a result, he, who the teachers at the county school said was a little short of his standard, was able to pass the exam successfully this time.
There were two other young men who were good friends with Lu Shao and who also passed the imperial examination this time. They also smiled and saluted to Lu Shao.
"Yes, Shaodi also contributed a lot to our success in the exam this time."
Lu Shao was a very frank person, and he never hid anything when discussing and exchanging knowledge with them.
They found that he was knowledgeable and took the initiative to ask him for advice, and he would explain it to them in detail.
They explain better and understand more thoroughly than their teachers.
They also benefited from Lu Shao's analysis of the examiner's style, so they reviewed according to that preference.
It really worked, so I am grateful to Lu Shao and the others.
Lu Shao smiled at the three of them and said, "You were able to pass the exam because of your talent and hard work over the past ten years. There's no need to be so modest."
"I have benefited a lot from discussing academic matters with you."
Naturally, he would not take all the credit for this.
Just let a few people remember this feeling in their hearts.
When other people heard these words, those who had already passed the exam were fine, but those who had not received any news felt upset.
Before, several other people asked him to go and discuss academic matters with Lu Shao, or to ask for advice.
They all felt that their knowledge could not be worse than Lu Shao's, so they did not go.
Now I can't help but regret it.
Mr. Hu felt even worse and was also very anxious.
This was his third time taking the provincial examination and he had high hopes of passing.
But you must win!
One person pointed down and said, "The top rankings are posted."
Those who haven't received the servant's report yet are so nervous that their palms are sweaty.
I couldn't help but feel a little excited, after all, these were the top rankings.
They might even be among the best.
Mr. Hu couldn't help but fantasize that maybe he would be lucky enough to get the top spot in the exam this time.
But just then, someone shouted from below, breaking his fantasy.
"The champion is Lu Shao from Changping Village, Mayu County."
"It's Lu Shao again. He ranked first in the college exam."
"He is really amazing. He is worthy of being the husband of Miss Qiao and the student of Mr. Qin."
I couldn’t see the words on the list over there, but everyone was talking so loudly that everyone upstairs could hear it.
Ji Songbai was the first to react.
He couldn't help but reach out and pat Lu Shao on the shoulder.
He looked even more excited than Lu Shao, "Brother Shao, you are the top scorer. You really are the top scorer."
It would be a lie to say that I wasn't envious of Lu Shao for passing the imperial examination.
But he was not jealous. In Ji Songbai's opinion, with Lu Shao's knowledge, he deserved the first place.
He was also happy that his friend passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer.
Others may just be envious, or jealous, envious, or hateful.
He also smiled and congratulated, "Congratulations, Brother Shao/Brother Lu!"
Those who are closer to him call him Shaodi, and their thoughts are similar to Ji Songbai's.
It also means that Lu Shao is very good at judging people, and those he makes friends with are not narrow-minded.
Those who call Lu Brother are just casual acquaintances, and they will be extremely envious and jealous.
There are also those who are extremely jealous, such as Mr. Hu.
