Chapter Seventy-One: Who the Hell Is It! 【3rd Update】
The date of the state trial list is September 21.
There are two ways for candidates to know if they have passed the test.
On the day of the release of the list, the list will be posted on the outer wall of the Gongyuan, and the list of A and B will be transparent and open to everyone.
After noon, the major yamen will have messengers to the place where the students settle down to report the good news, the movement is very loud, and everyone knows that it will make trouble.
Of course, this is not an extra move, no one asks about the cold window for ten years, and he becomes famous all over the world in one fell swoop.
This was a good opportunity to make a name for themselves, and the officials shouted loudly while striking the gong in front of everyone.
"Congratulations to Tang Ning Gongzi for winning the Zhongzhou test to solve the yuan!"
"Congratulations to Tang Ning Gongzi for winning the provincial test!"
"Congratulations to Tang Ning Gongzi for winning the middle hall test!"
……
Although he had already known his ranking before this, it was a very long-faced thing to be announced so loudly in public by the messengers who announced the good news.
But not many people know about winning the championship, what is the difference between this and not winning?
Of course, although the first place in the state exam is only Xie Yuan, even if it is Xie Yuan, it is also a glory that many people find difficult to obtain in their lifetime, which is enough to make all students excited and unable to sleep.
Downing also had some trouble sleeping last night.
Naturally, he didn't expect himself to be able to top the high school list again, he knew how many pounds he had, and when it came to writing articles, I was afraid that Tang Yaoyao would be more than a star and a half better than him.
What he was worried about was that if he fell off the list, although no one would blame him, Xiaoru and the others would definitely not be able to avoid sadness and disappointment in their hearts.
The higher they climbed, the worse they fell, and they knew that they would make do with the first two games, giving them hope, but in the end they were disappointed, and Tang Ning was very upset.
So he had insomnia last night and didn't know when he fell asleep.
Zhong Yi and Su Ru didn't know how many times they had wandered in front of his closed courtyard gate.
Su Ru was a little worried: "It's about to be announced, why hasn't Brother Xiao Ning gotten up yet?" ”
Qing'er pushed the door and said, "Uncle often sleeps in bed in the morning." ”
Tang Yaoyao walked over from behind and said in surprise: "Hasn't he gotten up yet?" ”
Zhong Yi said helplessly: "The courtyard door is closed from the inside." ”
When she said this, Tang Yaoyao had already jumped on the wall, and after she finished speaking, Tang Yaoyao's figure disappeared and opened the courtyard door from the inside.
A courtyard gate was opened, and there was a door.
Tang Xiaoxiao didn't have the ability to enter through the wall, so he knocked on the door outside, but no one answered.
Zhong Yi stepped forward and said, "He shouldn't have slept well last night, let him sleep a little longer, we can go later." ”
"When is it, still sleeping!" Tang Xiaoyao knew that Zhong Yi and Su Ru were already waiting very anxiously, waved his hand, and said, "I'll go in and call him!" ”
The door was not opened, but in order to keep the air in the room fresh, Downing usually opened the window a small crack before going to bed at night.
Tang Yaoyao glanced out of the window, and the person on the bed was dressed.
She relieved herself, opened the window, jumped in, and walked to the bedside.
When she looked at the quilt that had been kicked to the foot of the bed, and the figure lying on her back, she pursed her lips and was about to walk over to wake him up, when her footsteps suddenly stopped.
Her gaze looked at a certain part of his body, and her lips opened slightly in surprise.
Outside, Tang Xiaoyao screamed at the door loudly, and Tang Ning struggled to open his eyes.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but when he opened his eyes in a daze just now, he seemed to see Tang Fairy.
"Hurry up and open the door when you wake up, the list is about to be released, Xiaoru and Xiaoyi are in a hurry!"
The voice from outside the door let him know that it was just an illusion, and Tang Youjing was obviously calling the door outside.
Fortunately, it is just an illusion, and when a man gets up in the morning, he always has some reactions, even if these reactions can wash away the shame on him, he can't let her see it.
He sat up and began to get dressed.
Outside the door, Zhong Yi looked at Tang Yaoyao in surprise and asked, "You woke him up, why don't you open the door from the inside?" ”
"Forgot ......" Tang Yaoyao said in a low voice with an embarrassed face.
Tang Ning got dressed, opened the door, and said a little embarrassed: "I slept a little late yesterday......"
Tang Fairy urged: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and wash up, the Gongyuan will be on the list soon!" ”
Tang Ning finished washing as fast as he could, and there were already two carriages waiting outside the door.
Peng Chen went to the yamen early in the morning, he wanted to report the good news to the students in the examination today, Tang Ning thought of his expressionless face, it is more appropriate to report the funeral than the good news, and he mourned for the unlucky student in his heart.
Tang Ning was alone in a carriage, Zhong Yi and Tang Yaoyao Su Ru, Chen Yuxian stood at the door of Zhong Mansion and waved his hand to them: "Go early and return early!" ”
Tang Ning didn't want to go to see the list, but if it was disappointing, Xiao Ruhe liked them and went happily, if there was no name on the list, wouldn't the gap be even greater?
But since the moment he agreed to take the state exam, many things have been involuntarily.
At the gate of the Gongyuan, it was already crowded with people.
After the second game, there were only about 1,000 candidates left, but when the results were released today, there were more people around the Gongyuan than in the first game.
It is not surprising that the state examination is held once every three years, and since the first day of the examination, it has focused on the attention of the entire Lingzhou, whether it is the students who refer to it or the people of Lingzhou, they are waiting for the arrival of the final unveiling day.
Tang Ning asked them to wait on the side of the road in the distance, and walked into the crowd by himself.
Before leaving, he also looked at Tang Yaoyao twice.
Tang Fairy looked at him today with a look that was not quite right, neither good nor bad, giving Tang Ning the feeling that he had only known him on the first day......
At this moment, it is not yet the time to make a list, and outside the Gongyuan, many people's faces have already shown anxiety and expectation.
The noisy sound is incessant, and the noisy people are upset.
Tang Ning deliberately chose a clean corner, and did not avoid everyone's discussions.
"I don't know who can get the solution this time?"
"That's naturally Tang Ning, who was the first in the first two double rankings, if you want to talk about Xie Yuan, who else is more likely than him?"
"Hey, that's not necessarily, I heard that when he was in the third game, he appeared very late, and it was a bit unbelievable."
"It's not that he is not good at strategizing, so it is very likely that Xu Qingyang and Zhang Yansheng will come later......
"I think it's Xu Qingyang."
"I think it's Zhang Yansheng."
"Do you want to bet ten taels of silver?"
……
Tang Ning listened for a while, and felt a little pity in his heart.
Why is there no one betting that he is Xie Yuan, if there is such a gamble, he will definitely take out all his net worth, and then borrow 10,000 taels of silver like Tang Yaoyao, and bet that he will not win.
In this way, he can fight for at least ten years less.
"In this year's state examination, there are 78 people on the first list and 162 people on the second list."
At one point, he heard a slightly familiar voice from among the cacophony of voices.
He turned his head and saw Dong Mingjun being surrounded in a corner, talking loudly to the people around him, spitting all over the place.
I don't know what he was doing here after being eliminated in the first game, Tang Ning glanced in that direction, and quickly looked away again.
He looked up at the position of the sun, estimating that the time for the list should be almost up.
A young man beside Dong Mingjun looked at him and asked, "Master Dong is a stabbing history, in addition to the number of people, what else does Dong Gongzi know, who is Xie Yuan this time?" ”
"Who Xie Yuan is, you won't know until the official list." Dong Mingjun shook his head and said, "But I know some other things." ”
Dong Mingjun slowly said under the expectant eyes of everyone: "It is said that when the papers were read a few days ago, the two examiners almost fought because of an exam paper, and then it seemed that after all the examiners discussed, they decided to put forward a reform strategy to the imperial court, and the future strategy may no longer pay attention to the quality of the article, and it is necessary to light the article and emphasize the policy......
"What?"
"There is such a thing!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone around him was shocked.
How can the imperial examination say that the system will be reformed, and a small reform may make their years of hard study and hard work in vain, how can they not be shocked or afraid?
Who the hell is the guy who made the examiner make such a decision!
Tang Ning leaned against a tree, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a chill in his back, and the wind around him was gusting......
