Chapter Seventy-Six: The Champion

PS: There is a small chapter at 17 pm.

This aristocratic lady who can't be laughed at casually is very lucky, Yang Yunqiu appeared in the Treasure Pavilion, and by the way, she made her customized image pendant, without waiting for two months.

Speaking of which, because this kind of pendant has some requirements for the material, and the production is complex, and it takes the most time, under normal circumstances, Yang Yunqiu does not do it often, only the highest members have the opportunity to get, so far, the ones that have been sold in three years, and those that have been sent out add up to only six.

Right now, this young lady is the seventh.

As usual, guests can't choose the style, what Yang Yunqiu makes, he can only get what it looks like, he thought about it, and chose a piece of black jade.

Black jade has always been not very valuable, in fact, jadeite in the Yin Dynasty was not very popular, belongs to a relatively ordinary gemstone, but recently because the treasure pavilion likes to use jadeite when making all kinds of treasures, to make this kind of jadeite also become popular, the price has risen, many large families have begun to wear jadeite jewelry.

Rouge couldn't help but laugh when she saw that Yang Yunqiu had chosen Moyu: "That young lady's identity is very unusual, you just make do with it?" ”

Yang Yunqiu raised his eyebrows, took out his carving knife and spirit pen, and turned it gently, and in just a moment, a piece of ink jade the size of a thumb had turned into a delicate and clear kitten.

Although it is only a rough embryo and has not yet been carefully carved, the spirituality that is vivid, as if it can jump up and play with people at any time, has already made Rouge dumb, and it took a long time before he sighed: "Sometimes I really think that you are a demon, and it is not like a young man who is far from twenty years old." ”

It is a specialized craftsman, I am afraid it will take twenty or thirty years to have such a foundation, not to mention that the young people in front of him not only have to study and take the imperial examination, the six arts of the gentleman, but also learn everything, everything must be refined, but also can be so many miscellaneous studies, don't look at the people who read and look down on the flow of craftsmen, but a craftsman learns for a lifetime, most of them can only be craftsmen, Yang Yunqiu is like this, can produce works that the world thinks is incredible, and can already call himself a teacher, or even a great master, no matter which industry, people who can become a great master are worthy of respect.

It's just that the black cat seems to be a little ...... It's a bit unlucky.

It took three days for Yang Yunqiu to carve the black cat pendant, and from a distance, this cat is like a living thing, and any person, even if it doesn't like cats, can't help but feel cute at first glance.

Rouge has itchy fingers, and there is always a desire to reach out and scratch the kitten's chin.

Although he felt that the black cat had a bad meaning and was worried that the guests would not be satisfied, he had to admit that at least the things carved by Yang Yunqiu would not be unsellable. Not to mention that as long as five hundred taels of gold, it is a thousand gold, and those who can afford it will definitely not be too expensive.

In fact, one of the major selling points of the Treasure Pavilion is that it is expensive, and the things sold in the Treasure House are all unique in the world, and no one can find the same treasure in other places, which is completely different from the ordinary objects sold in the building next to it.

Sure enough, on the day of delivery, the young lady not only did not make a counteroffer, but also did not even remember that the black cat was not pleasant, and she simply loved it, especially when a specific light illuminated, a portrait of her mother and her would be projected on the wall and on the ground, as if the mother took her to coax the beautiful and agile kitten to play, and simply expressed her most beautiful haode dream.

It's just that Yang Yunqiu is worried that it will be too shocking, and she has never made a life-like, overly realistic image, and the largest one is only half a body, even so, the young lady feels satisfied.

Rouge was very happy to make a big business, but Yang Yunqiu didn't have the heart to pay too much attention.

The day of the exam is coming.

In recent days, the whole capital has been in a state of frenzy, a large group of exam-taking scholars have arrived, and many restaurants have made what champion cakes, champion wine, and all kinds of rooms are reduced or free.

There are more and more gatherings between scholars, and Yang Yunqiu has participated in it a few times, but he has been in the capital for three years, and he is also a popular candidate for Jinshi, and many wealthy businessmen and even officials have vaguely hinted that they have a beautiful daughter who has grown up in the family, and they are waiting for him to propose marriage from Jinbang High School.

The Yin Dynasty also had the custom of catching sons-in-law under the list, and before the exam, those scholars who were dignified, very young, and without wives were already targeted, and people like Yang Yunqiu were of course optimistic.

Yang Yunqiu himself doesn't care about this kind of thing, but the subordinates in the family, like Erya, are very concerned, for several days, Erya is babbling in his ear, every time the eldest young master Sun Zhaoyang goes out shopping, there are many beautiful girls in the capital throwing purses and smashing fruits at him, he has only been in the capital for a long time, and it seems that he has become the object of longing for famous ladies in the capital.

"Young Master, I heard that the eldest young master is absolutely out of Xiuyun Tower today, and people say that he will definitely be able to make the gold list high school."

This is not surprising, Sun Zhaoyang originally had an aura, which was very popular with girls, and he was used to putting on a show, and he especially liked to be in the limelight at every party, and never let people.

If it weren't for that, he would have taken the entrance examination three years ago, he was eighteen years old at the time, although he was young, but he was already an adult, and it was very suitable for the Jinshi examination, and with his level, the chance of passing the examination was not small, even if he couldn't do it, he could give it a try, but he just couldn't stand being compared by others, so he had to delay for three years.

This time, Sun Zhaoyang is obviously confident, and recently he has frequently attacked at various scholar gatherings in the capital, and he has a very strong appearance, and there are only a few people who can be compared with him.

Because Yang Yunqiu is Sun Zhaoyang's younger brother, the two of them are really evaluated together. And there is also a bit of equal meaning, although Sun Zhaoyang can put on a show, but there are always some people who think that Yang Yunqiu is younger, talented and very low-key, and is more reliable than his kind of male peacock-like performance.

Especially Yang Yunqiu's calligraphy and painting, which has rarely appeared in front of everyone in the past three years, is a little famous, and there are even many calligraphy and paintings that everyone thinks that Yang Yunqiu's words are the first in the world among the younger generation.

Of course, the imperial examination does not all depend on how the words are, but if there is a good handwriting, it will always be a plus item.

He writes well enough, can become everyone, even if he fails to pass the exam, he will be a celebrity for a lifetime, and he will also be promising, in this era, celebrities are more comfortable than officials, and he may be unlucky because of party disputes or other reasons, but a chic and comfortable celebrity, absolutely no one is looking for trouble, and he will be touted by everyone.

These days, Yang Yunqiu listened to all kinds of praise and speculation, and her ears were calloused, and she couldn't wait to hide at home and not go out.

But there is no way, every time on the eve of the exam, the hottest topic in the entire capital is always these young scholars from all over the world, of course, those who are still taking the exam in their seventies and eighties are definitely not as concerned as young people.

Generally, the admission of the examination is to try to select young people, over 50 years old, and then it is very difficult to get in the exam, which examiner does not want to select a group of promising students, those who are old, have already been half in the ground, that is, they have passed the exam, how much more rush can they have?

Yang Yunqiu occupies everything, and is destined to be unable to hide from right and wrong.

Time passed day by day, and soon, it was time to take the exam.

Er Ya and they hurriedly prepared all kinds of examination supplies for him, the last imperial examination, those scholars who were not human after the exam, obviously frightened these little girls, for fear that their young master would be like this.

Obviously, Erya understands in her heart that her young master is not an ordinary person, and his body is not weak at all, but he is still worried, and he can't sleep well even in a good diary, which makes Yang Yunqiu shake his head again and again, he used to be worried, after all, he heard that three more exams had to be taken for nine days in a row, during which he ate and lived in a small room, which was uncomfortable, but when it came to his head, he was not worried, wasn't it just a little harder, as a monk, he was even afraid of this little difficulty, how would he survive the catastrophe in the future?

will try this day, bring good things, Yang Yunqiu traveled lightly.

He is really not worried, although the doll did not help him steal the exam questions, but the news is still first-class fast and accurate, it has investigated the identities of the two examiners and eight examiners this year, and their policy articles on weekdays have also collected a large book, what taboos does each examiner have, what preferences do they have, and it is even more clear to investigate.

This time, the examiner, Yang Yunqiu has seen it, there is nothing particularly weird, they are all very orthodox literati, and they are very good at figuring out the kind of favorite, it seems that the emperor has carefully selected them, as long as he finds out the emperor's mind, he will not make a mistake.

In the past, when he was on earth, when he was studying, he always thought that the emperor should not like those courtiers who would figure out the intentions, and when he really came to ancient times, he realized that a courtier did not know how to figure out the intentions and acted according to the emperor's ideas, he would only be a low-level official for a lifetime, and he would never be able to climb to a high position.

Those important ministers who can ascend to a high position, stand in front of the emperor, and influence the emperor, no matter what kind of temperament they have, are all people who have a very accurate grasp of the emperor's mind.

Smoothly entered the examination room, Yang Yunqiu's room happened to be face to face with Sun Zhaoyang, fortunately there were doors and curtains in the way, so there was no need to really look at each other.

The room is almost the same as when the township test, but it is a little smaller, five feet long, four feet wide, and eight feet high.

How can those pampered noblemen, who have to be served by maids when they are dressed and washed, and who have never suffered at all, endure such treatment? Even he was a little reluctant.

"No wonder Wang Yi couldn't take the exam once, so he refused to take the exam again."

Replace those aborigines who want to live in the Yin Dynasty all their lives, of course, they also want to be admitted to the Jinshi desperately, and if they play it as a semi-game like Wang Yi, they have to consider whether it is worth it.

Lu Lan also said that she wanted to descend to a man, and try to see if she could enjoy the feeling of being a man, and then Li Zifeng, who thought that she was her godbrother, disagreed, so she didn't make the trip, but until now, she is still grinding Yang Yunqiu to choose a suitable man for her as a candidate for possession, if she is allowed to feel this kind of suffering, it is estimated that she will never think cranky again.

Although the environment is very poor, Yang Yunqiu still answered the questions seriously, and everything went well, but when he wrote rhyme poems, he may not be so spiritual.

He also thought about finding a famous article to copy, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't remember which one was suitable, so he simply wrote it himself.

Anyway, after the test, he felt quite satisfied, and he didn't dare to say that he must be in the top three, but he was still a little bit sure that he would not fall to the point of being the same jinshi.

Of course, it always takes luck to try, and he can't be 100% sure that he will succeed.

As a result, Yang Yunqiu was a little worried, and when the list was released, he smoothly became the top of the list, but when the palace exam, he had guessed the same amount of five questions, but he didn't answer the questions according to the kind of official articles he wrote before, but he was excited for a while, and wrote a point of view such as 'the people are noble and gentle', fortunately, Zuihou went back, and it was not too outrageous.

Yang Yunqiu was still worried that there would be a problem, but he didn't expect that after reading the test paper, eight examiners gave him the lowest score, and they also thought that he was in the top three, and six people felt that he deserved to be the first.

The emperor even uttered the word "amazing". So he named him the champion.

Yang Yunqiu originally bought himself to explore flowers, but now he lost a lot of money - he used to read too many novels, and he always felt that he was such a young scholar, if he did well in the exam, if he was lucky enough to be in the top ten, it was more likely to be named Tanhua by the emperor, especially not too many young people who took the exam this year, and thirty-five or sixteen years old was already young.

It's a pity that most of this is someone else's YY, the emperor is not so capricious, just because he likes the reputation of Tanhua, he demolishes the article that can be the champion in his heart by a grade, and only gives Tanhua.

Even the kind he imagined before, because his father was an official, his ranking would naturally be relegated to the second rank, as if the current Yin Dynasty did not have such rules.

Now the family has not declined, although the imperial examination system is relatively perfect, but there are many people who rely on their father's shadow as officials, such as Sun Zhifu, a relatively low-level official, can also let a son be an official, although he can only get eight or nine official positions.

The emperor list is posted, the test paper of the champion list is posted, and the readers in the world are not all convinced, at least they are not particularly unconvinced to make trouble, of course, there are still people who pick bones in the eggs, saying that the champion's poems are very ordinary, but not all readers are good at writing poems in the examination room, or proposition poems, under normal circumstances, as long as they are written, and to the point, do not make big mistakes, you can give full marks, this kind of statement is really untenable.

In short, Sanding A is like this, when most people are satisfied and feel that there is no cheating.
