Tang Ning felt that it was not impossible to consider betting on himself to win the championship.

Gu Bai and Cui Lang and Shen Jian, the first game only answered about eighty percent of the questions, not all of them were right, and there was no suspense in the second game, there were countless champions in the past dynasties, and I didn't see anyone whose poetry could compare with Wen Tingyun and Li Qingzhao.

In the last policy discussion, he may not be able to compare with the three of them in the article, but with Li Tianlan's careful teaching and the experience summed up by countless ancestors in history, when it comes to "strategy", he has not been afraid of anyone, even if it does not surprise the examiner, he will not lose too many points.

All things considered, Tang Ning felt that it was still worth the gamble.

The only problem was that he had no money.

Most of his money is used to buy a house, and the remaining part is about to be invested in repairs and decorations, Songzhuzhai's "Peony Pavilion" has not yet been completed, and he has not yet received the last payment, and there is no extra silver in his hands.

Zhongyi and Su Ru accompanied their mother-in-law to the temple to offer incense, saying that they were asking the Bodhisattva to bless him with a good score in the imperial examination, Tang Goblin practiced swords in the courtyard, and the old beggar leaned against the corner, holding Xiao Jue to honor his fine wine and drunken dreams.

Tang Youjing practiced very hard, and Tang Ning found that these days, her moves seemed to be more powerful than before, especially after arriving in Jingshi, she became more diligent, and this progress became more and more obvious.

While Tang Fairy was resting, Tang Ning poured her a cup of tea and said, "How many silver taels do you have left?" ”

Tang Yaoyao glanced at him and asked, "Why are you asking this?" ”

Tang Ning handed over the tea and said, "If there is too much left, lend me a little." ”

Tang Yaoyao took a sip of tea and asked, "How much to borrow?" ”

"Not much, 10,000 ......, 5,000 taels." Tang Ning thought about it, and still felt that it was better to borrow less, after all, if he borrowed too much, he would have to pay himself to Tang Goblin to be able to afford it.

"You've just bought a house, what else do you need to pay for?" Tang Yaoyao looked at him and asked, "What do you want so much silver for?" ”

Tang Fairy has changed, she used to take out 10,000 taels of silver and slap it on the table, never asking him for it.

However, he is not afraid of shadows, he borrows money to make money, and he does not go outside to raise fox spirits, so he doesn't have to be weak.

He looked at Tang Xiaoyao and explained: "Many casinos outside have opened handicaps, betting on who is the leader of this provincial test, I want to bet on myself." ”

Tang Yaoyao looked at him for a long time before asking, "How sure are you?" ”

If it is a palace test that only examines policy theory, Tang Ning is not very sure, but this is only a provincial test, how can it be six or seventy percent.

He looked at Tang Xiaoxiao and said, "There are also sixty percent conservatives." ”

"Bet."

Tang Fairy has always liked excitement, sixty percent sure that it was enough for her to complete a big gamble, he looked at Tang Ning, and said, "I'll go back to the room to get the silver ticket, you wait for me here." ”

Tang Ning stood in the courtyard, didn't wait for Tang Xiaoxiao, but waited for Ling Yun first.

Tang Ning looked at him and said in surprise: "What is Commander Ling doing here, I don't have a manuscript for you." ”

Ling Yun's body moved to the side, revealing King Run, who was behind him.

King Run looked at him and said seriously, "I came to thank you for saving my mother." ”

If Tang Ning remembered correctly, King Run had already used this reason to thank him at least three times.

"My father often taught us that we should repay our kindness, and it is a great grace for you to save your mother, so thank you a few times."

If it weren't for King Run's words, he would lick his lips at the same time, Tang Ning would almost believe it.

"I'll go back to the palace later." He walked up to Tang Ning and asked, "What is your family eating today?" ”

The mother-in-law went out with Xiaoyi Xiaoru, the third uncle and the third aunt went to see the new house, and today there were only two people in the house, he and Tang Fairy, and Tang Ning hadn't thought about what to eat.

Seeing Fairy Tang coming out of the room, he opened his mouth and asked, "What do you want to eat today?" ”

Tang Yaoyao thought for a while and said, "Assorted pots, I haven't eaten them for a long time." ”

Tang Ning saw that King Run's face was glowing in an instant, he turned his head to look at Tang Ning, and said, "Can you do a little more ...... today?"

It's not time to eat yet, and he and Tang Goblin have something to go out, I thought that King Run would go back after thanking him, but I didn't expect him to thank him to be fake, and rubbing rice is real.

Tang Ning looked at Ling Yun and said, "We have something to go out, there are not many dishes in the kitchen, what do you want to eat, go buy it yourself, and remember to wash the dishes before I come back." ”

Ling Yun opened his mouth, and before he could say anything, King Run pulled his sleeve and said, "Let's go grocery shopping......

Tang Ning and Tang Fairy are not very familiar with Jingshi, but fortunately, there is a shopkeeper Xu, and he knows the location of almost all the gambling houses in Jingshi.

Yesterday, Xiao Jue and Gu Bai were very shameless and bet 1,000 taels of silver tickets each, which seemed to be a lot, but in the eyes of the casino, it was still trivial, and it had no impact on the overall odds.

However, for the sake of insurance, he and Tang Yaoyao still did not put all their eggs in one basket, but dispersed to multiple casinos, so that each amount of money is not too big, and it should not attract the attention of others.

This is a big gamble, Tang Fairy has put all his net worth into it, and if she wins, she will naturally make a lot of money, and if she loses, for a long time, she will have to rely on Tang Ning to support her.

When they went back, Ling Yun and Runwang had already washed all the dishes.

Assorted pot is a dish that goes well with rice, when there are no outsiders, Tang Fairy will eat at least two bowls of rice, but she dances all day long, and she will not be fat, but Su Mei, who can eat and sleep, but she is thin where she should be thin, and she is fat where she should be fat, and Tang Fairy, who is thin where she should be thin, and who is thin where she should be fat, and who is thin where she should be fat.

"Delicious...... "King Run" said vaguely while picking up the rice: "It's better than what the imperial chef makes." ”

The important thing about the assorted pot is the ingredients, one more and one less are different flavors, this is the one that he and Zhongyi have tried many times before researching, and the taste is naturally different.

Looking at King Run, Tang Ning remembered Fang Xiaopang before, originally thought that he would be able to return to Lingzhou after the imperial examination to see how she had lost weight, who knew that the plan had changed, he would stay in Jingshi for a long time, and he didn't know when he would see her again......

Kyoshi Gongin.

After the provincial examination is over, the gate of the Tribute Academy will be closed, and all the examiners will be locked inside, and the gate of the Tribute Courtyard will not be opened again until the last day of the list.

Marking has officially started a day ago, the first to mark is the first test paper, different from the state test, the provincial test marking time is more relaxed, the examiner has enough time, when marking, to be fair and just, no omissions as the first priority, do not worry.

In the spacious hall, there was only the occasional sound of turning pages and the occasional exchange of sounds among neighboring examiners.

"There is no mistake in the legal questions of this test paper, which is very rare, and it should go to the criminal department."

"The arithmetic in my hand has excellent performance, and it is suitable for honing for a few years in the household department and the industrial department."

"This test paper is full of eighty percent answers, and there is only one error, which should be one of those people."

……

The errand of grading the papers is boring and boring, especially in this first one, all the answers are written on paper, and if you speak from time to time, the depression in your heart will be difficult to resolve.

At a certain moment, an examiner slowly stood up from his seat, flipped over the test paper in his hand and read it several times, and the expression on his face was like a day of hell.

He stepped out of his seat and muttered, "Look, everyone, look at this paper." ”

Someone took it and passed it on to each other, and the chatter in the temple could not be stopped.

"Hiss......, this provincial test is out of demons."

"This is simply unheard of, I can't imagine that there are such talents among the candidates in this year?"

"It's not that it hasn't appeared before, Lord Xu is young, thirteen years ago, he shouldn't have entered Beijing, and it's normal if he hasn't heard ......of it."

When this test paper that was discussed by everyone was passed to Fang Hong, he looked at the unfamiliar handwriting on the test paper, but it was a familiar scene, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, ......"
