Chapter 373: Count the Kui!
On March 13, the day of the release of the school list, Yu Shu dressed up in men's clothes early in the morning, combed his hair and was spirited, and when he went out, he heard the magpie chirping on the branches, and sat in the car and threw a hexagram.
When Liu Tan saw Yu Shu in the annex, the first thing he said was to ask: "What is the good thing about Miss Yu?" β
Yu Shu smiled, bowed his head and said, "Let His Highness make fun of me, I'm so happy that I can enter the Taishi Academy today." β
This is just one aspect, after today, she can still ask for a big arithmetic, plus a Xiuyuan title, which is not as good as the status of the two big Yi masters, but it is much better than a thin Yi Ke.
The group took a sedan chair to Shuangyanghui, and happened to meet King Ning's entourage downstairs in Qiongyu.
"Seventh brother." Liu Tan led people to greet him, and there was no one present who was higher than King Ning, and he had to salute and bend down when he saw it.
"Meet His Royal Highness King Ning."
"It's all exempt. Brother Eleven, you drank too much at the banquet last night, and you didn't have a headache this morning? Liu Hao always looked like a brother and a friend outside, stepped forward and put his arm on Liu Tan's shoulder, and went upstairs with him affectionately.
Yu Shu fell behind, and when she walked to the corner of the second floor, she heard someone calling her.
"Lotus girl."
Yu Shu turned his head to look at Ji Xingxuan, who was standing under several stairs, his eyes jumped, Yu Shu moved two steps to the side, held on to the railing, and let the guards behind him pass first, and waited until there were only two of them left on the stairs, so he straightened his sleeves, stood upright, raised his arms above his ears, and saluted Ji Xingxuan: "I've seen Mr. Ji." β
Ji Xingxuan squinted her eyes slightly, walked up the stairs with the corner of her skirt, stood in front of Yu Shu, stared at her with her head bowed, leaned close to her ear, and whispered: "Let me ask you again, did you really decide not to give me the rest of the chapters of Liuyao?" β
Yu Shu raised his hand and didn't speak, and Ji Xingxuan was really calm, and it took so many days to threaten her again.
"Good. When today's last subject is released, I will truthfully report your private relationship with the eleventh prince to King Ning, and you will ask for more blessings. β
Ji Xingxuan sneered, and her white fingers rubbed against Yu Shu's collar. No longer looking at her face, he turned around and went upstairs.
Yu Shu slowly lowered his raised arm, revealing a deep gaze, looking at Ji Xingxuan's back leaving, his nails flicked his collar, and he stood alone in the corridor for a while before slowly going upstairs.
It's not that she's not worried. It's useless to worry about it, she has carried so many disasters in the past, not worse than this one and a half, and she is afraid that she is not Yu Shu.

Liu Hao looked at Ji Xingxuan, who was seated, and asked, "Why did you come up so slowly?" β
"I just said a few words to the Nine Emperor Prince's Kun Xiyu on the stairs."
Liu Hao raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Said something. β
Ji Xingxuan shook his head, "When the Shuangyang will disperse today, I will talk to His Highness in detail." β
Liu Hao touched his chin with interest. Looking in the direction of Liu Tan, I saw Yu Shu walking over in a green shirt and robe, with handsome eyebrows. has a generous demeanor, but she is more impressive than women's clothing.
is such a little girl who is not amazing, who can escort Daozi into Beijing, can call Xue Rui a brother and sister, and is the initiator of the destruction of the Ji family.
It's hard for him not to pay attention.
Yu Shu didn't know that Liu Hao was staring at her, and asked Liu Tan for instructions, so he had to allow him to sit with Xin Liu and talk about the affairs of Taishi Library. Dayan has the last subject of arithmetic, which is about to end today, and the Yike people have nothing to fight.
The rest are the literati of the scientific examination, but among the two lists, the protΓ©gΓ©s selected by the Jinluan Palace are all protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven, and the princes cannot exceed the rules. And the Jinshi on the previous list is not as important as the Dayan family.
Therefore, the princes want to divide the superiors at the Shuangyang Meeting, which is the last competition.
***
After polishing it like this in the morning, Yu Shu still has some expectations for today's list, firstly, I don't want Ji Xingxuan to help King Ning win the top three again, and secondly, I want to know what ranking she can take the exam, conservatively estimated to be in the top ten, and if she can really enter the top three, it will be a great joy.
At noon, Jiang Shang beat the drums, and the two imperial historians who were responsible for supervising today's announcement stood in the ring as before, and announced the list of several princes who had been sealed yesterday.
Liu Tan listened attentively, and sure enough, in Liu Hao's list, among the three of them, there were two personal disciples of Mr. Han Wenguang, who exchanged a look with Helan Chou, and knew it.
The eighth prince, Liu Yu, was not as tolerant as Liu Tan, and complained to Liu Hao across a few tables: "I just said that why I couldn't invite Mr. Han's disciples, it was because I let the seventh brother take the lead." β
Liu Hao smiled heartily, turned his head to look at Ji Xingxuan, and saw her nodding lightly, proving that she was sure, and couldn't help but feel comfortable in her heart, as if she had a chance to win.
Turning his eyes to look at Liu Tan's calm appearance like water, Liu Hao's eyes flickered, and suddenly he said loudly: "Ninth brother, there is only the last subject left in this year's Dayan Examination, and the seventh brother will be separated from you here, how about it?" β
Liu Tan didn't expect it, he frowned slightly, Shuangyang will come here, he has already got his wish, and if he goes down, he doesn't care whether he wins or loses, but his seventh brother Liu Hao is different, he won, but the limelight has long been shared by him, and if he loses, it is equivalent to losing to the younger brother, which will be disgraced.
Liu Hao openly proposed to share the victory with him at this time, passing over the other brothers, without Liu Yu and Liu Gan's footsteps, Liu Tan won and congratulated, and lost because he was overwhelmed, and the hard work in front was in vain.
Liu Tan quickly weighed the pros and cons, and decided to use his words perfunctorily, he couldn't have a hard time with Liu Hao at this juncture, but Liu Hao's next sentence blocked his unspoken voice back-
"It is said that the ninth brother has been recuperating in the mountains for several years, and his temperament is stable, but how to act is still as timid as he was a child!"
There was a sudden silence on the third floor, Liu Tan's face changed, and he stared at Liu Hao, who said this with a smile, so that he slowly hooked the corners of his mouth, stood up from the chair, and arched his hand at him: "Seventh brother said and laughed again, since this is the case, I will not push it, you and I brothers, we will win or lose in this game." β
Above the Manchu Dynasty, there are few people who don't know the joy and anger of the Son of Heaven, and they appreciate those who are wise and brave the most, on the contrary, they are most disgusted with those who act in a cowering way.
Liu Hao's means of winning like this are not glorious, but as his brother, Liu Tan has always been weaker. You can't pick out the accusation, you can only endure the humiliation and agree.
Liu Hao's purpose was successful, and his face was happy: "Ha Luha, this is happy." Regardless of victory or defeat, after the Shuangyang Festival disperses today, our brothers will go for a drink! β
The two of them made an agreement, Liu Que and Liu Zhen instantly became a foil, Liu Que was dissatisfied in his heart, and secretly scolded a few words, but did not show his unhappiness on his face.
Yu Shu saw Liu Hao throwing the line. Liu Tan had to take the bait, and once again sighed at the open and secret battles at this Shuangyang meeting.
From her standpoint, she naturally wants to see Ning Wang planted, so she has another expectation for today's list.
Time flew by, and everyone upstairs in Qiongyu was also full of spirit because of Liu Hao and Liu Tan's gambling agreement, and they heard that there were fast horses galloping on the riverbank. They left their seats and stood by the railing and waited, as if they couldn't wait to know the result.
Yu Shu and Xin Liu also leaned on the railing, looking downstairs-
The copyist dismounted and jumped into the ring. The sealed list along the way was presented to the imperial historian, and after the two imperial historians checked it, they pushed each other, and the older one came forward to announce: "Zhaoqing 14th year Dayan test March spring list of the sixth subject of arithmetic, a total of sixty-four people on the list - sixty-fourth"
Sixty-four people, in the list of 100 people, is considered a number of people who are not too much and no less.
Xin Liu approached Yu Shu and bit her ear: "I heard my grandfather say a few days ago that this year's arithmetic subject is quite difficult, and the question is extremely crooked, according to the rules of the past years." Only those who answer sixty percent of the questions correctly have a chance to be on the list, and only those who can be counted as missing are eligible to be ranked in the top three, maybe the leader of this list is also a vacancy. β
Yu Shu supported her arm with one hand, pointed her chin with her fingers, listened to the imperial history read out the rankings, and said in her heart that she had answered all the questions. I don't know how many people are more powerful than her.
When Yu Shi read the forty-ninth place, Liu Yu stood up in surprise, confirmed that he had won one, and proudly bowed his hand to the surroundings.
Then when he read the thirty-ninth place, the first person on Liu Tan's list appeared, and Liu Hao was not in a hurry at all, but congratulated Liu Tan with a smile.
At this time, Liu Tan could still calm down, but good luck didn't seem to be with him today, and the remaining two candidates on the list didn't get a few more, appearing in the thirty-first and twenty-second places respectively.
Although the three of them are on the list, Liu Tan has no hole cards, and on Liu Hao's side, Han Wenguang's two disciples have not been read, obviously ranking high, and it is absolutely impossible to fall off the list.
Compared with Liu Hao's confident laughter on both sides, Liu Tan sat with a sinking face, Helan glanced at him worriedly, and lowered his voice to persuade: "Your Highness, don't worry, the list has not been read yet, as long as King Ning fails to pick up the two top three, there is still a chance to win." β
Liu Tan nodded, regained his spirits, and sat upright and looked downstairs, so as not to miss the ranking, but the more he listened, the heavier his heart became.
"Sixth place, Yangzhou candidate Zhou Qi, fifth place and third place, Taishi Shuyuan candidate Jin Zuoying."
There was a crisp sound of "pop", Liu Tan covered the tea cup in his hand, his fingers trembled slightly, and the corners of his mouth leaked a wry smile.
At the same time, Zuo Xi laughed loudly, Liu Hao sat firmly on Mount Tai, for nothing else, this third place was one of Han Wenguang's disciples.
The onlookers on both sides were about to congratulate, but Liu Hao raised his hand to stop him, glanced at Liu Tan intentionally or unintentionally, stood up, walked to the railing, and motioned for the imperial history to continue reading.
"Second place, Taishi Shuyuan candidate Pan Ming." Yu Shi read the name for a long time, and took advantage of the buzz upstairs at this time, and turned his head to cough up phlegm.
Liu Hao's eyebrows trembled, although he was not satisfied with Han Wenguang's other student who was not the leader, but he got his wish and won the two top three, overshadowing Liu Tan. In the sound of joy that followed, he held on to the railing, turned his head with a spring breeze on his face, and looked at Liu Tan who was gray-faced from a distance, and for a moment he looked domineering: "Ninth brother, this game can be regarded as a victory for your brother, are you convinced?" β
Catching up with Liu Hao's familiar gaze, Liu Tan suddenly seemed to be back to his childhood, his face turned pale, and he secretly clenched his fists and creaked.
He tried his best to hold back the unwillingness in his heart, got up slowly, barely squeezed out a smile and hung it on his face, and was about to answer, but the sleeves were recklessly grabbed, he paused, turned his head to look, and saw Yu Shu standing beside him, with a trace of abnormal flushing on his face, his eyes exuding a strange light, staring at the Yushi who was coughing downstairs.
"Wait, wait." Yu Shu dragged Liu Tan, his voice was very soft, but his heart was beating suddenly, and a thought echoed in his mind: I haven't read her name yet, I haven't read her name yet!
"Ahem" Yushi finally breathed a sigh of relief, reopened the list, swept his eyes to the top, stared at the vermilion scarlet stabbing stroke, and solemnly read: "First place, Yiyang County candidate, Yu Shu." β
