Chapter 362: No Leader! (Happy New Year, Year of the Snake)
(I wish all readers and friends good health and good fortune in the new year, Wishing you prosperity!) 2-in-1 Grand Chapter Present! )
Yu Shu returned to her seat, looking at the indigo river bank in the distance, she was not as looking forward to the results of today's list as before, her mind was spinning fast at this time, thinking about how to deal with the troubles that might arise next.
She directly rejected Ji Xingxuan's request just now, not because of a moment of brain fever, but considering the current situation, even if Liu Yi knew that he had been fooled and couldn't swallow this breath, it was unlikely that he would settle accounts with her during the Shuangyang Meeting.
No matter how she said it, she is still Liu Tan's Kun Xi, replacing Shui Yun, sitting in such an obvious position, in case something happens again, no one's face looks good.
So at least during the Shuangyang Meeting, she doesn't have to worry about how Liu Yi will be recruited, and there is still a period of time to consider countermeasures.
But after the Shuangyang meeting, her situation will be terrible, just with Liu Yi's virtue of having a small belly, she will definitely not let her go, let alone Ji Xingxuan.
Damn, originally in this kind of situation, she could still discuss with Xue Rui, but her eldest brother left Beijing the day before yesterday to do business, and she didn't know when Lu Dao would come back.
Jing Chen, who was talking to Liu Tan, gradually found that after Yu Shu came back, he had been frowning, staring at the building in a daze, as if he was troubled, so he crossed Liu Tan and called her:
"Little fish."
Yu Shu heard Jingchen call her, stopped thinking about walking away, turned her head to look at him, met his concerned gaze, and her heart moved-
Do you want to tell Jingchen about beating Liu Yi and ask him for help, you should be able to get Liu Yi when the time comes.
As soon as this idea came up, Yu Shu felt that it was somewhat feasible, although because of what happened to Shui Yun, she and Jing Chen have been estranged these days, but the friendship of life is not fake, if Jing Chen knew that Liu Yi was going to beat her, he would definitely not stand idly by.
Again. With Jingchen's current noble status, the Taoist of Qinfeng has to be polite to a prince and a prince. As long as Jingchen can suppress Liu Yi. She had her own way of cleaning up Ji Xingxuan.
Yu Shu sorted out a priority, and immediately decided to talk to Jingchen when the Shuangyang meeting was dispersed today, and at this point, it was no longer possible to mix it up by playing smart, and if he didn't ask friends for help, could it be true that he was waiting to be a little wife for others?
"Jingchen," Yu Shu cleared his throat and said, "I want to visit the water girl." When we disperse this afternoon, you and I will go all the way back to the princess's mansion? ”
"Okay." Jingchen didn't think much about it, but he didn't know if Yu Shu was looking for an excuse, where did he really want to see Shui Yun.
Yu Shu's mind was relieved, his expression softened a lot, and he was about to say something more, when he caught a glimpse of a familiar guard approaching with a hurried look on the path behind the corridor.
"Your Highness." The guard was standing behind Liu Tan. greeted him first, then turned to Jingchen, and approached to whisper.
It's not very quiet upstairs. Yu Shu listened carefully and couldn't hear what he said clearly, but saw that Jingchen's face changed a little, and after listening to the words, he got up from the chair and said to Liu Tan, who was puzzled:
"Chongyun, I'll go back first, and you can explain it to others on my behalf."
"What's wrong?" Liu Tan asked nervously, "Is it a little aunt?" ”
Jingchen nodded, didn't explain much, glanced at Yu Shu again, and said, "It's inconvenient today." I'll invite you to the princess's mansion another day. ”
Yu Shu didn't know what was going on, but guessed that something was wrong with Shui Yun's body, and seeing Jingchen looking like he was in a hurry to rush back, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, knowing that he couldn't talk to him today, a trace of disappointment flashed in his heart. In reply to him:
"Well, let's do that another day."
After Jingchen finished speaking, he took people away without saying hello to the other people on this floor, but many people saw him leave the table and asked people to ask Liu Tan.
Liu Tan was sloppy with these people, and did not say that Jingchen went back because Shui Yun had an accident.
As soon as Jingchen walked like this, Yu Shu sat upstairs and was even more in no mood, indifferently listening to the applause coming from the crowd on both sides of the ring downstairs, holding a cup of hot tea until his palms were cold.
Unconsciously, when it was almost time to release the list, the venue downstairs was emptied, and Yushi came forward, and the notice sign sealing the list was carried out.
Yu Shu barely concentrated his attention, listened to the reading of the imperial history, and compared the candidates of the remaining four princes.
Thaumaturgy, in terms of difficulty, when it comes to the first place in the six examinations of the Great Yan, the number of people who refer to it every year is often the least, and the Yi Shi who can be qualified to be on the list is rarely from a famous family and comes from a family. This phenomenon is not surprising, it is not easy to learn Yi, ordinary Yike, without a net worth background, how can they have the opportunity to come into contact with superior Yishu, let alone be surprised.
Yu Shu had entered the library of the Taishi Book Garden through Xue Rui before the exam, and read the examination papers of the past years, and in the two hundred years of the Great Yan Examination, the examination questions of the first subject of thaumaturgy were strange and tricky, if you want to answer the paper brilliantly, you must be reasonable, and cite what you have learned in thaumaturgy, so as to get into the eyes of the big men of Si Tianjian.
From the oldest to the youngest, the imperial history first unsealed the list of King Ning and the Eighth Prince and announced, a total of six famous posts, each different, and then came to Liu Tan.
"The Nine Emperors have changed their names, one is Duan Hengzhi, a candidate from Taiyuan, one is Wang Yu, a candidate from Fuxian County, Jiangxi, and the other is Wen Shaoan, a candidate from Yanyang City."
Yu Shu was relieved when she heard Yu Shi read Wen Shao'an's name, she was afraid that Liu Tan would change her list, and it was a pity that the other two people changed it, but this Wen Shao'an was the first person she calculated from the list of more than 70 candidates from Liu Tan!
In case Wen Shao'an competes for strength and can be ranked in the top three, Yu Shu's Kun seat can be regarded as sitting firmly, and no one will see her as a number, if Liu Tan knows people, how can he not pay attention to her, in this way, she has another layer of protection.
Thinking of this, Yu Shu couldn't help but feel a lot more energetic, poured out the cold tea in his hand, refilled a cup of hot warm in the palm of his hand, and looked at the riverbank with his eyes open, just waiting for the person who copied the list to arrive.
Helan Chou crossed the table, noticed Yu Shu's appearance of staring around, pinched her lips and smiled, tilted her head and said to Liu Tan:
"Your Highness, Miss Yu is even more anxious about the result than you."
Liu Tan glanced at Yu Shu and said to her: "You don't have to be nervous, if someone is in high school, it is naturally the best, and if it is the last to fail, I will not blame you." ”
Yu Shu smiled at Liu Tan embarrassedly, and sighed in her heart: She is not worried about falling short at all, what she is worried about is whether Wen Shao'an, the dark horse, can fight for her to come back!
He was talking. The voices of people outside the building suddenly rose sharply, and Yu Shu's eyes poked out, and he searched for the official errand on a horse in the distance, who was lining up the crowd on the shore and rushing towards Qiongyulou. Suddenly, my eyes lit up, and I almost got up from my chair.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Downstairs there were voices one after another.
"Bell bell bell-" Yu Shi saw that the scene was a little chaotic, so he asked the guards to ring the gongs and drums hanging on the shelves on the side, and silenced the present.
After a while, the two officials who escorted the list finally squeezed downstairs and handed the sealed copy to Yushi.
After the two imperial historians examined it separately. Only then did he shake off the scroll and announce it from the one on the left:
"Zhaoqing's 14th year Dayan Examination March Spring List Fifth Physiognomy, a total of 39 people on the list - 39th, Weizhou candidates"
As soon as this list was read out, Yu Shu heard a burst of surprised discussion upstairs from Qiong Yu, and even Liu Tan couldn't help but say to Helan sadly:
"How can these people pass the thaumaturgy subject?"
Helan Chou is also strange, he has been in the capital for so many years, and he has experienced several sessions of Dayan Examination. It is necessary to know that thaumaturgy often gathers the children of the family, and more than half of the people on the gold list that can accommodate hundreds of people are considered to be few. This time, only 39 people passed the exam, is it really that difficult to come out of this year's questions?
Yu Shu didn't care how many people were in the exam, she just wanted to know what rank the three people she selected were in, the higher she was in the front, the happier she was, as long as she could overpower the few in Ji Xingxuan's picture and steal her limelight, it would be refreshing.
There were more than thirty people in total, and the imperial history quickly read half of it, and the first candidate on King Ning's list was the first to be selected. Ranked 24th.
There are many people sitting on the third floor today, and there are inevitably people who are flattering and loudly congratulating Liu Hao.
Liu Haokun was accompanied by Ji Xingxuan, the flourishing Xiuyuan Dayi Master, with a proud spring breeze on his face, he bowed his hand to Liu Tan and Liu Yu from a distance, and laughed loudly:
"Eighth brother, ninth brother. I'm sorry, I'm the first to pull out for my brother. ”
Liu Hao was envious in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything sour to Liu Hao directly, so he laughed dryly and twisted his head to the side.
And when Liu Tan was about to say hello to Liu Hao, Helan Chou heard Yu Shi read the next person's name, the corners of his mouth grinned, and he interrupted Liu Tan's voice a little formlessly, and said in surprise:
"Congratulations, Your Highness, you have to take another member, it is the twenty-first!"
Liu Tan was stunned for a moment, then he reacted, his eyes showed a little joy, he nodded, glanced at Yu Shu with a little meaning, and then turned his face, then arched his hand towards Liu Hao, and said loudly:
"With the joy of Brother Seven, I am also one of them!"
Liu Hao's smile paused at the corner of his mouth, and he replied with an unchanged expression: "Congratulations to the ninth brother." ”
Liu Yu saw that Liu Tan also won the lottery, but he was happy, turned around and congratulated Liu Tan, and envied his good luck in and out of words.
Yu Shu didn't feel excited, she cheated when she was in trouble, and she was sure that the three people she chose were on the list, and the sooner she read the name, it would not be a good thing.
Afraid of something, Yu Shu didn't want to hear the candidate she liked too early, but only a moment later, she heard Yu Shi read out a person on Liu Tan's list again-
"Eighteenth, Taiyuan candidate Duan Hengzhi"
"Congratulations to His Highness the Nine!"
Liu Tan was dealing with Liu Yu, and suddenly heard someone saying hello to him, under Helan Chou's reminder, he realized that Lu Dao had hit another person, his face could not hide the look of surprise, he turned his head to look at Yu Shu, wanted to say something, but couldn't find the words-
When did the talents in the Shuangyang meeting become so easy to pick, his little aunt is a descendant of the Taoist Sect, Huigen is outstanding, and she holds a strange treasure, so she can recognize people at a glance, but this Yu Shu, isn't he a self-taught, where does he have such ability?
Yu Shu was entangled because the two of them were not in high ranks, and he didn't notice Liu Tan's inquiring eyes.
On the other end, Liu Hao scored twice because of Liu Tan, and a touch of gloom flashed in his eyes, but someone lacked a string in his head, and he talked in a low voice:
"Why is it that the Nine Emperors don't have the help of that fairy girl, or are they so lucky, who is the girl on the banquet of Dao He, I heard that he has some relationship with Daozi."
The county lord of Xiwen sat next to Ji Xingxuan, and he had heard about the grievances between the Ji family and Yu Shu, and when he heard these discussions, he saw Ji Xingxuan's cold expression, so he snorted, and his voice attracted the attention of both sides:
"That Lianfang girl, the county lord knows the way, and she is also a candidate for this year's Dayan exam. But it seems that there is no name on the list so far, just a white-bodied Yike. ”
Dayan has a total of six subjects, except for one maverick in arithmetic, the remaining five subjects. Anyone who can pass one subject can be promoted to Yi Shi, and if he can pass two subjects in the same year, he will be promoted to the Great Yi Shi, and if Yi Ke wants to be promoted, he can only count on thaumaturgy until now.
And thaumaturgy is known to be the most difficult of the six subjects.
In other words, Yu Shu has little hope of being promoted this year.
When everyone heard this, they immediately lost interest in Yu Shu. The conversation shifted.
Xi Wen sneered, turned her head and whispered to Ji Xingxuan: "Why bother to disappoint that kind of person, you are Xiuyuan Dayi Master, the most brilliant person in Dayan this year, the future is limitless, who can cross you, sister has a higher vision, don't always stare at those villains who are not in the climate." ”
Ji Xingxuan was laughed at by her. Shaking his head, he said, "I know, don't be angry with me." ”
Xi Wen pouted. The heart said that Ji Xingxuan knew where she and Yu Shu's holiday.
Yu Shu didn't know that someone was talking about her strength, she was pricking up her ears to listen to Yu Shi slowly reading the name of the person, as Yu Shi read more and more, until she reached the top ten, the bigger she hoped, the faster her heart beat, and nervously pinched her palms to sweat.
Eighth, no.
Seventh, no.
Sixth, not yet.
Yu Shu's heart was in his throat. I really wanted to urge Yushi to read it quickly, but I was afraid that Wen Shao'an's name would be urged out too early, and my mouth was dry, but I didn't even dare to drink more tea.
"Fourth place, Taishi Shuyuan candidate Sun Xun."
Yu Shu frowned when he heard the name. If she remembered correctly, this person was on King Ning's list.
Sure enough, the next moment, she heard someone upstairs saying hello to Liu Hao, and looked at it in a blink of an eye, but saw that Liu Hao had already stood up, and while dealing with the compliments around, she picked up the tea, saluted Ji Xingxuan of Kunxi, and said in a hearty voice:
"This king replaces wine with tea, thank you Kunzuo."
This sentence, a cup of tea, was saluted by a prince, and it was clear that he wanted to build momentum for Ji Xingxuan, the new Great Yi Master, and everyone present was a human spirit, and they were all ready to push the boat down the river, and they were preparing good things to say, and not many people paid attention to the name that Yu Shi read next.
But at this moment, someone upstairs shouted with joy, and the voice overshadowed everyone loudly:
"Congratulations to Your Highness, the three members of the company have won a fragrant lang!"
Everyone looked back one after another, and saw a handsome-looking girl standing up next to Liu Tan, and congratulated Liu Tan with a red face, it was Yu Shu.
It turned out that just now, Yu Shi read out Wen Shao'an's name, and he was worthy of entering the top three thaumaturgical and ranking Xianglang!
When Yu Shu heard Wen Shao'an's name, his face turned red with excitement, a Xianglang, although he is not the leader, but it is enough to help Liu Tan overpower Liu Hao and score three times, this is a big limelight!
When she shouted out in her voice, she ruined the atmosphere that Liu Hao had just created, and Ji Xingxuan was surrounded by a group of people, serving tea to Liu Hao in a reserved manner, and then lowered her face and looked coldly in the direction of Yu Shu.
The atmosphere upstairs suddenly froze, and everyone stood on the spot, in a dilemma, not knowing for a moment whether to cater to Liu Hao first, or to say hello to today's winner Liu Tan first.
It was such a quiet time, no one saw the imperial history downstairs turned his head to look at the famous posts hanging on the billboard, and then glanced at the list in his hand, cleared his throat, and slowly announced:
"Second place, candidate from Yiyang County, Yangzhou, Yu Shu."
Qiong Yulou is not high, the third floor is more than three zhang high from the ground, this imperial history is not very old, he is very angry, standing in the three-foot-high ring, the surroundings are quiet, and the voice is especially loud.
Yu Shu was overjoyed because Wen Shao'an was in the top three in high school, and when she heard her name coming from downstairs, she looked a little confused, and looked left and right, thinking that who was calling her.
The first to react was Liu Tan, who was just stunned for a moment, then stood up from the chair, his face was full of surprise, and asked Yu Shu uncertainly:
"Miss Yu is from Yiyang, Yangzhou?"
Yu Shu nodded, his eyes blinked, and his eyes suddenly rounded.
Seeing her reflection, Liu Tan couldn't help but smile, squinting his eyes, looking at her with a different gaze, but he said in a brisk tone: "Congratulations to the girl for high school." ”
Helan Chou followed up and said congratulations, and laughed towards Yu Shu.
Yu Shu's blood surged, her face was full of red light, she only felt that what was happening at this time was not very real, she actually passed the exam!
And even before that Wen Shao'an, ranked second, worthy of Xiuyuan!
What a big jackpot!
Although Yu Shu is not on Liu Tan's list, she is Liu Tan's Kun seat, the guest of honor, not to mention that he has just won three yuan, there is already a Xianglang, plus a Xiuyuan, isn't it four joys, compared to not long ago, Liu Tan won the championship in one fell swoop with the help of Shui Yun, that is not far behind!
The people present on this upstairs were all people who saw the wind and steered the rudder, and as soon as they heard the momentum turned to Liu Tan, they forgot about the stalemate just now, and congratulated Liu Tan and Yu Shu one by one, and the congratulations were endless, but Ji Xingxuan, who was like a star-studded moon just now, was left aside.
Ji Xingxuan stood there, her figure was a little awkward, she barely smiled, and sat back as if nothing happened.
"You guys are also quiet, I haven't seen that the imperial history can't speak, and this leader hasn't come out yet." Xi Wen coldly poured a basin of cold water and pinched Ji Xingxuan's arm under the table, suggesting that she should not worry.
Only then did a group of people realize that Yushi hadn't spoken for a long time and was left aside.
Liu Hao maintained his demeanor on the surface, and raised his hand downstairs and said, "Please continue to read the list." ”
The imperial historian had a strange expression, took the list and studied it with his colleagues next to him for a while, waved his hand upstairs and said:
"Back to King Ning, this year's Dayan thaumaturgy is a subject, the top of the list is vacant, above Xiuyuan, no one is out."
As soon as these words came out, the audience was stunned, there was no leader in this department!? (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
