Ji Ning was in the inn, and there were a lot of guests he saw, and he wouldn't even remember who he saw, because it didn't matter if he saw anyone or not, after all, he was not going to stay in the court as an official, but to go to the Temple of Literature. Bayi ??? Chinese Network ? ??.

As a court official, there are many places that need to take care of each other, but when he goes to the Temple of Literature, the division of power is not as obvious as that of the court official, he went to the Temple of Literature, and he also started from the lowest level of the apprenticeship, and it is also very difficult for others to enter the Temple of Literature.

If he tells the world about his entry into the Temple of Literature, absolutely no one wants to come to him to slap him, this is a very realistic thing, and the people who come to see him don't worship him much, but just plan for their own future!

Ji Ning received his good news and met the guests, and Tang Xie and Han Yu left.

Since Tang Xie and Han Yu helped him complete the reception of guests, and the courtesies were still exchanged, he also needed to go over to help and accept it.

Although Tang Xie won the fourth place in the second class, it was obvious that there were no guests on his side to visit, only a few old friends from Jinling City came over, and their main purpose was not to see Tang Jie, but to greet Ji Ning, the new champion.

People are warm and cold, Tang Xie is not reluctant, he himself is already very satisfied with the fourth place in the second grade, and he is not demanding to get more respect from others, he originally had no expectations for the examination of the Hanlin Academy, but as he himself won the fourth place in the second grade, he must take the palace examination.

……

……

After that, Ji Ning, Tang Xie and Han Yu will go to the Ministry of Rites to receive the Jinshi uniforms that need to be worn for the Hajj on the second day.

The palace examination is an examination presided over by the emperor, and the announcement of the results of the palace examination will also go through the process of a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and all the jinshi will go to the ceremony of the palace on the second day, when Ji Ning, as the champion, will lead all the jinshi and go to the court to meet the emperor.

In the capital, there are many people who care about Ji Ning's results in the palace examination, but most of them are women.

Nalan Chuixue and Zhao Yuanrong are the direct witnesses of Ji Ning's top score, they are not much surprised by Ji Ning's final results, in Zhao Yuanrong's opinion, Ji Ning originally had the talent of the champion, and Ji Ning's champion deserved it, as for Nalan Chuixue, she had no concept of the champion, as for Ji Ning's champion or Zhongjinshi, she felt that it was all the same, as long as she could avenge her.

And in the capital, there are still a few people who care about Ji Ning very much.

Among them is Ji Ning's confidante, Li Xiuer, who has always admired Ji Ning and secretly likes Ji Ning.

Unlike when she took the exam, Li Xiuer personally went to find out Ji Ning's results, this time Li Xiuer could only stay at home and wait for news, because her father Li Jing had just grounded her and forbade her to go out of the house, the reason was also very simple, the girl's family was too big to run around, otherwise she would lose her dignity.

Li Jing has been in the capital for a period of time, during this time, it is basically the winter farming season in the capital, at this time the treasury of the household is mainly counting and accounting, Li Jing's errands are relatively busy, and he rarely goes home, but Li Jing is very concerned about Li Xiuer's affairs, it seems that he, a father, also has a conscience, and actually cares about his daughter's food and clothing, only Li Xiuer noticed that her father seemed to have something to hide from her.

"Miss, don't be too anxious, I've already sent two groups of people out to investigate, and I'll definitely find out the news, it's already noon, and it's expected that the list should be released, and it is estimated that everyone will be on their way back!" Yuzhen also said anxiously.

Her hostess was very concerned about Ji Ning's imperial examination, and Yuzhen was also worried about her own young lady, so she paid special attention to Ji Ning's affairs.

She could leave the Li Mansion before, but Li Jing's grounding order also included her Yuzhen, so this time to inquire about Ji Ning's results, she could only let the subordinates in the mansion go, Li Xiu'er was not very relieved, so she simply asked Yuzhen to invite someone, so that it would be safer to inquire on both sides, and it was also to prevent the subordinates of the Li Mansion from concealing her for some purposes.

It wasn't until the end of the day that Li Xiu'er almost had to go to the street to inquire in person, and at this time, the first wave of people who inquired about Ji Ning's results came back, and the news she got also made Li Xiu'er annoyed: "The palace test announced the ranking of Jinshi except for the top ten, and Ji Ning was not included!" ”

Yuzhen smiled: "Miss, this is a good thing, this proves that Ji Gongzi has won the top ten in the palace exam!" ”

"That's not what I said, even if it's really the top ten, there is a big difference, if it's the first, it's the champion, the top three are okay, it's directly ranked in the first class and the first, if it's four to ten, then it's the second class jinshi, and the first class is very different!" Li Xiu'er said anxiously.

Yuzhen muttered, "Where did I know so much? ”

Nearly half an hour later, the second wave of people came back, and the news brought back by these people was very accurate: "Miss, we have inquired very clearly, Ji Gongzi won the first place in the first class, we asked the people who crossed the street, and they said...... The first place in the first class is the champion! ”

Yuzhen looked at Li Xiu'er curiously, she wasn't sure what else to say this time, she was afraid that she would say something wrong, so she simply kept silent.

But seeing Li Xiu'er looking up at the sky, two lines of tears flowed from her delicate eyes, and she said, "Thank God, Ji Ning has finally completed his merits!" Yuzhen, you give a few of them a reward, and send some people to verify, I don't want anything wrong! ”

Yuzhen also said happily: "Okay, miss, the slave will go." ”

After a short time, Yuzhen had already paid the reward and sent the next wave of people to inquire about the news.

Li Xiu'er was holding the letter that Ji Ning had written before, and she was sad, and Yuzhen stepped forward and asked, "Miss, isn't it a good thing that Ji Gongzi won the champion?" ”

"It's a good thing, but it's also a bad thing...... Ji Ning is flying and soaring, he should go back to Jinling City next and propose marriage to the Su family, right? Li Xiu'er said thoughtfully, "He is now a three-yuan and first, he can enter the Temple of Literature in the future, and the future is bright, and the people of the Su family will no longer look down on him, he and Sister Su are a match made in heaven!" ”

Yuzhen Xiaobei bit her lower lip and said, "But Miss, the person who corresponded with Ji Gongzi before was you, Miss!" ”

"What if it's me, the person who has a marriage with Ji Ning is Sister Su, I'm just a passerby! I overheard the conversation between my father and my brother before, and my father's meaning was that he wanted me to run for this year's show girl, so that I could be elected to the palace and be the emperor's concubine. Even if you don't choose, you may become the crown prince's concubine, or the concubine of the fifth prince...... Maybe this is my original fate! ”

Li Xiu'er's whole person was a little sad, as if some kind of emotion was expressed, and she hugged her head and cried with the help of Ji Ningzhong's champion.

Yuzhen said: "Miss, Miss, no, the master loves you so much, he will not do such a thing, you must have heard it wrong!" ”
