At the same time, Mei Yaochen in the Gongyuan encountered a little problem, he felt that a policy was very good, but he couldn't see the source of the allusions.

After thinking about it, Mei Yaochen took the scroll and went to Ouyang Xiu.

Ouyang Xiu took the paper and read it, only to feel that the article was written heartily, and the views were very appetizing to him.

The more he read, the more familiar he became, and he concluded that this was probably Zeng Gong's article, Zeng Gong was studying in Taixue, and had a brief teacher-student friendship with him, and later Zeng Gong also introduced him to a young man like Wang Anshi.

For Zeng Gong's good article, Ouyang Xiu is very fond of it. Knowing that Zeng Gong, who was full of talent, tried and failed repeatedly, he hated even more in his heart that he was too useless in his heart, and how many students were blocked from their careers because they couldn't learn it well!

Ouyang Xiu had a conclusion in his heart, naturally he liked it, although those allusions were unheard of, they seemed to be reasonable and well-founded, and he couldn't see any problems.

It's just because of this preference that Ouyang Xiu considered and said to Mei Yaochen: "This article deserves to be first-class, and it can be ranked second at present." ”

When Mei Yaochen heard Ouyang Xiu say this, he didn't delve into it, nodded and went back to continue reading.

Through the unremitting efforts of the examiners, the examination papers of several exams have been completed one after another.

When it was time for the official ranking, Ouyang Xiu personally presided over the work of unpacking the sealed volume.

When he saw the article that he admired so much, Ouyang Xiu was stunned.

This candidate is not Zeng Gong, but Su Shi!

However, Ouyang Xiu felt that the first place in the second class was actually Zeng Gong's article!

Ouyang Xiu went through the results of Su Shi's several exams, and found that Su Shi's ink meaning and strategy were all very good, but the poetry was relatively unsatisfactory, not only the handwriting was sloppy, but the idea was not very good, and the comprehensive ranking could not enter the top ten!

Ouyang Xiu felt sorry for Su Shi in his heart, and he remembered that this child was one of the three fathers and sons of the Su family that Zhang Fangping had recommended to him in the letter.

I didn't expect Su Shi's article to be written too well, but it made him misjudge!

Fortunately, the impact of these two was not too great, and Su Shi still passed the exam.

The palace test will not fall now, as long as Su Shi plays normally in the palace test, his Jinshi background should be stable.

Ouyang Xiu felt guilty in his heart, and inevitably kept this matter in his heart, and was ready to turn around and pull Su Shi well.

Ouyang Xiu quickly took Mei Yaochen and others to discharge the provincial test and sent it to the upper authorities for a look. Early the next morning, the list was returned to them.

Ouyang Xiu began to inscribe the ranking with his own hands.

This year's high school candidates are nominally his "students", so Ouyang Xiu is extra serious in his writing. Of course, this relationship can't be too blatant, because after the palace examination, these candidates will be protégés of the Son of Heaven, and he can't pretend to be a teacher!

Ouyang Xiu wrote down his names one by one with great expectation.

If these people make a difference in the DPRK in the future, it will also be a great help for him!

In the early morning of the next day, the gate of the Tribute Courtyard slowly opened.

Countless candidates are already looking forward to it outside the Tribute Academy, just waiting for the list. Su Shi and they were not exempt from vulgarity, and they came over early in the morning to wait.

Su Lu got up a little late, and when he yawned and came over, he was already separated from Su Shi and them, and he couldn't squeeze into it at all.

He blinked, decided not to force himself, retreated out of the crowd and waited for Su Shi and them to squeeze into the innermost part to watch the list.

When Su Lu stepped back, he found a familiar figure who had also been squeezed out of the crowd.

Wang Yan, the son of Wang Anshi!

Su Lu greeted the other party obediently: "What a coincidence! ”

Wang Yan also noticed Su Lu, and when he saw Su Lu taking the initiative to say hello, he also smiled and nodded. He said casually: "My cousin did well in the exam, and he should be able to pass this course." ”

Hearing Wang Yan say this, Su Yan's heart suddenly shook. Not to be outdone, he said: "My cousin also did well in the exam, and he will definitely be able to pass this course!" ”

Wang Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard Su Yan swear so much, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

After Su Yan finished his mouth, he didn't want to compare with Wang Yan in this regard, and turned his gaze to Lingyao.

His gaze swirled over Lingwu's hated head, and he asked curiously, "Has your hair grown out?" Does the newly grown hair tie your hands? I've heard that if you shave your head, your hair will grow darker and thicker! ”

Lingwu took off his hat and showed Su Lu his newly grown hair.

After nearly two months of careful care, Lingyi's hair has grown as long as a finger, Su Lu reached out and took a handful, feeling good. He looked straight and nodded: "Yes, it's really thick." ”

Wang Yan saw that Su Lu was pure childlike, and his mind of the competition in his heart also faded.

What a match he has with a child!

People came and went where the list was posted, and Su Shi and they were finally coerced by the crowd to get to the front of the list.

They carefully look for their names on the list.

Soon, Su Shi found himself, and Su Zhe found himself.

Not in the front row, but they're all in the upper middle range. Take a look at the handsome candidates around you, it's a very good result for their age!

A handful of old candidates Su Xun and Lao Jiang nervously looked back, and finally Lao Jiang found himself at the end of the crane.

Su Xun is nameless on the list!

Su Xun was disappointed in his heart, but his two sons were hit, and he still happily squeezed out with them. The four of them took the exam together, and they won three, which is considered very good.

When he arrived at the periphery, Su Shi stepped forward to meet Su Lu.

Su Lu asked them with concern how they did in the exam.

Su Shi and Su Zhe were afraid of Su Xun's mood and did not rush to speak. Su Xun still thinks about it himself, he said with a smile: "I didn't pass the exam, Zizhan and they are all on the list." ”

Su Lu looked at his third uncle and forced a smile on his face, and sighed in his heart. Who doesn't have a dream of a gold list title in his heart, his third uncle is also in his forties, and his two sons are already in high school, and his third uncle is afraid that he will be embarrassed to take the exam again in the future, and he will probably not be able to get a jinshi in this life!

Su Lu said with relief: "I heard that people say that you can become an official without taking the Jinshi exam!" ”

Su Xun shook his head and said, "In the future, I can just concentrate on writing more articles." ”

While a few people were talking, Wang Yan also joined Zeng Gong and his party, and it was a mighty seven Jiangxi people!

Su Lu saw Zeng Gong and the others smiling on their faces, and was secretly vigilant.

Su Lu hurriedly said: "Third uncle, let's go back, I asked Yun Niang to gather a lot of good dishes, just waiting for us to go back and eat!" ”

Su Xun was still immersed in the joy of his son's high school and the sadness of his own downfall, which can be described as a mixture of joy and sorrow, so naturally he didn't notice the existence of Zeng Gong and others.

Hearing Su Lu's greeting, Su Shi and the others couldn't wait to go back.

Celebrating or not celebrating is secondary, the main thing is to eat something delicious, and their dad may be in a better mood!

The group walked away in a hurry.

Wang Yan on the other side inquired about Zeng Gong's provincial test results, and learned that Zeng Gong's six people were all successful, and his heart was naturally happy.

Zeng Gong and his three younger brothers were all hit, and his two brothers-in-law surnamed Wang were also hit!

This time, they have two kings, but it is a bumper harvest!

Wang Yan was overjoyed, and was about to ask Su Ran's family how he did in the exam, but when he turned his head, he found that Su Ran's original position was empty, and he had long since disappeared!
