After Baozi got Li Tong's good money, he then reported the good news to Han Dang in Tonglu County.

Han Dang officially confirmed that he had won the show, and suddenly burst into tears with excitement, shouting that God had mercy, and the ancestors opened their eyes.

That's right, it's old tears, he has gray hair, he's in his early fifties, and he's been reading a book all his life.

After Han Dang cried with joy for a while, his emotions finally calmed down a little. Seeing the expectant eyes of the newspapers, he turned to the shopkeeper who had been standing next to him for a long time and said, "Shopkeeper, bring me ......"

He shouted loudly, reached out and touched his pocket, and his tone suddenly weakened.

However, at this time, one of Han Dang's fellow villagers immediately took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into his hand, and said, "Brother Zhiyuan, you can use it." ”

There were ten taels of silver in the ingots.

So, he immediately shouted with confidence: "Give me a basket of big money!" ”

The shopkeeper immediately asked the shopkeeper to bring a basket of copper coins, and after Han Dang gave the newspaper two pieces of money, the rest was also moved to the gate by the innkeeper and thrown them at the crowd outside.

Baozi got Han Dangxi's money, and then reported the good news to the last Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji officially confirmed that he was on the list, and immediately bowed deeply to Xu Xian: "Brother Hanwen, junior brother will remember your guidance and great kindness all his life. ”

The scholars in Qiantang County gave a big salute to Xu Xian in public one after another, and the scholars in other counties couldn't help but be puzzled, but they thought of Xu Xian's talent, and immediately thought that these people had received Xu Xian's guidance in learning.

For a while, candidates from other counties couldn't help but be envious, regretting why they weren't from Qiantang County and didn't have the opportunity to get Xu Xian's guidance.

After getting the good news and the good news, the newspapers left the inn.

The crowd outside the gate, after making sure that the happy money had been thrown, dispersed with a smile.

However, there were still many people who stayed outside the gate.

The scholars returned to their chairs, but the seats changed a little, and Li Tong and the three became three small centers.

Of course, scholars who are confident in themselves still sit back in their seats, after all, the annunciation has just begun.

The newspapers report the good news in batches, and the later they go, the higher the ranking, and the head of the case is the last person to receive the good news.

The first batch of winners in the front are all C-class lists with no rankings, a total of 30 people. The next batch of good news is the second class list, with specific rankings from 30th to 11th. Then there is the first-class list, the top ten.

However, the rest of the wait is even more worrying.

Thirty places have already been gone at once, who can be sure that the remaining thirty places must have their own.

If there is, then this person is Xu Xian.

After waiting for about half an hour, the sound of gongs and drums finally came from a distance, and the scholars who were not on the list could no longer help but stand up and look at the door.

Only Xu Xian alone could still sit calmly and calmly.

The newspaper team finally arrived at the gate of the inn, and as just now, they first asked aloud whether the scholar they wanted to report the good news was in the inn, and then entered the inn and solemnly announced the good news to the scholars on the list one by one.

This time, a total of seven scholars received the good news, including two from Qiantang County.

After the two Qiantang County scholars officially confirmed that they had been admitted to Xiucai, they immediately bowed to Xu Xianzuo with gratitude.

At this time, the candidates from other counties couldn't help but ask why.

The scholars in Qiantang County insisted that they had received Xu Xian's guidance during the preparation for the exam.

They didn't lie, they did get Xu Xian's advice, but the content of the guidance was a little different from what everyone thought.

For a while, the scholars who did not make the list hated why they were not born in Qiantang County, otherwise they would be the ones who made the list.

After the newspaper team left, Xu Xian saw that Tang Xuan's expression was a little wrong, and comforted: "Brother Berwyn, don't worry. It's okay to get into the first class with your talents. ”

"I lend you good words." Tang Xuan arched his hand, his expression slightly relaxed.

He was really worried, not only worried that he would fall off the list, but also hoped that he would really win the first-class list.

If you win the first-class list, you will have the opportunity to enter the government school, not the county school. Moreover, in the future, the chances of evaluating students are much greater.

He lowered his head and couldn't help but think back to the situation of his answer to the questions in the college exam, to make sure that he had not made any major mistakes, and referring to the fact that even Li Tong Zhang Ji and others could win the list, he was sure that the information provided by Xu Xian was fine, and he concluded that he had not written anything that displeased the examiner in terms of strategy, and he was a little relieved.

On the road to the imperial examination, there have been too many situations where many people are optimistic about the great talents who have failed to make the list. It's not that these great talents play abnormally, but they write content that disgusts the examiner on the policy topic, and the better they write, the more the examiner is annoyed, and they are denounced as fallacies, don't confuse people's hearts, and are not the way of sages, and finally they are not on the list.

Therefore, there are many great talents in history who have repeatedly failed to succeed.

After the second batch of good news, those scholars who were not very outstanding in their own learning were almost desperate.

Their expressions were gloomy, and they didn't even have the mood to compliment the scholars who had already made the list. However, they still refused to leave, and there was still a glimmer of hope in their hearts, longing for a miracle.

The waiting time was longer, although there were ten people left in the end, but the first-class list was more grand, and they all reported the good news one by one.

In the anxious waiting of the scholars, the sound of gongs and drums finally came from a distance again, and the candidates who had not yet won the list stood up all of a sudden, staring at the gate.

The newspapers beat gongs and drums and walked to the door of the inn and asked loudly: "May I ask if Master Zheng Yu and Zheng Xipo of Fenshui County live in the inn?" ”

"I'm here!" A scholar immediately shouted in response.

He is the head of the county trial case in Fenshui County.

When the other scholars heard that it was not themselves, they all sighed in disappointment.

"Congratulations to Mr. Zheng for being ranked eighth on the first-class list of students in high school!" The newspaper sang aloud.

After the newspaper team left, Xu Xian and Li Tong comforted the disappointed Tang Xuan and said, "There is still a chance, so I will report for eighth place." ”

Tang Xuan nodded bitterly.

After more than half an hour, the sound of gongs and drums came again, this time it was the scholars of Tonglu County who won the list, and the sixth place in the first-class list was the first county trial case in Tonglu County.

The look of disappointment on Tang Xuan's face became even heavier, and he was even about to despair, as if he had aged for two or three years all of a sudden.

Xu Xian and Li Tong's tone of comfort to Tang Xuan was not so sufficient.

Then I waited anxiously, but this time the waiting time was not long, and it didn't take long to hear the sound of gongs and drums again, and it was estimated that it was the fifth place in the first class list.

"May I ask if Master Tang Xuan Tang Bowen lives in the inn?" The newspapers stood in front of the gate and asked loudly.

When Tang Xuan heard this, his whole body shook and tears flowed down his face.

He didn't immediately respond loudly, let alone rush to the gate immediately, but bowed deeply to Xu Xian.

With his talent, it is enough to test his talents, but it is a double-edged sword, in case he writes something that the examiner does not like, the consequences will be very serious.

Getting the accurate and detailed information of the examiner provided by Xu Xian, instead of falling off the list, he ranked fifth on the high school first-class list, which he never dreamed of.
