Ji Ning is the winner of the examination, although the top prize in the examination is within everyone's expectations, but it is also a little unexpected, even Ji Ning himself did not expect to win any champion, he just hoped that he could be in the final palace examination, the top three, so as to avoid the bachelor's examination of the Temple of Literature and go straight to the Temple of Literature. Bayi Middle School? Wen???.

When Tang Xie Xing rushed back, he pulled Ji Ning forward to see the list text, but saw that in the column of the first champion and the first, Ji Ning's name was written impressively, and after Ji Ning, there was a small note, he was from Jinling, and he had the examination books of the three generations of his ancestors to prove that Ji Ning listed in the list was Ji Ning himself.

Han Yu happily congratulated: "Congratulations to Yongning, the champion of high school, congratulations!" ”

Ji Ning also showed a natural smile on his face, he was very happy to be the top student in the exam, he didn't need to avoid anything, and he didn't need to pose in front of a few friends.

Ji Ning hugged his fists and thanked him, and Zhao Yuanrong on the side also congratulated: "Ji Ning, congratulations, I won the top spot in the first list, or the first time in recent years, there have been twenty palace examination examiners who appreciate a person's articles and talents, if you stay in the court, you will definitely do something!" ”

"Thank you Mr. Wen!" Ji Ning said.

Zhao Yuanrong continued: "I am indeed leaving, I don't know ...... today's appointment."

Ji Ning said: "If you have time, you must go, and say goodbye to Gongzi Wen first!" ”

Zhao Yuanrong smiled and nodded, it seemed that Ji Ning was the champion, she was also very happy, and after she turned around and left, Han Yu and Tang Xie hurriedly came over to congratulate again, and even the candidates who didn't know each other next to them also came to greet Ji Ning and congratulate her.

"Brother Ziqian, you were still worried before, look, aren't you in the top ten of the palace exam like Yongning now?" Han Yu suddenly had a bit of schadenfreude on his face, and said, "It's the one surnamed Qin, but after Yongning and Ziqian, he ranks seventh in the second grade!" ”

The seventh place in the second grade, that is, the tenth place in the palace examination, according to Zhao Yuanrong before, the reason why the results of the palace examination will be postponed is entirely because of the first to sixth place in the second grade, these six people have all won the appreciation of the seventeen palace examination examiners, so there is a controversy among the examiners, and finally the ranking of the top ten is formulated. And Qin Feng, who ranked seventh in the second grade, is obviously not in the dispute, which means that from the beginning, Qin Feng has no chance to be ranked in the top nine of the palace examination.

Ji Ning glanced at the top few lists of the palace examination before, and immediately saw a few people he wanted to see.

He is the champion, but it is Gu Yuming who is unexpectedly on the list, and Xu Jiangming, who had to bet on the champion with him before, is listed as Tanhua. Xu Jiangming's results are the same as those in the examination, and he is still in third place.

Among the top ten dark horses in the palace examination, only Tang Xie was killed, and the rest were relatively high in the general examination, which also shows that the level of the candidates in the general examination and the palace examination is basically the same, even Qin Feng fell from the second place in the general examination to the tenth place in the palace examination, which can be regarded as a normal swing, and the eight places are also considered a small move.

As for Ji Ning, he deserved to win the Huiyuan in the examination, and the champion in the palace examination was also well-deserved in Zhao Yuanrong's statement.

"Congratulations, Brother Yongning!" Xu Jiangming looked very personable, brought his servants and a few friends over to congratulate Ji Ning, and at the same time reintroduced the content of the previous gambling contract, "According to the previous gambling contract, you lost, but I didn't expect that Yongning You are a step ahead, the sacrifice text, and I will personally send it to the house in a few days!" Or when you meet, delivered to your hands! ”

Ji Ning wanted to say that it was not necessary, but he expected that saying this would be a bit of a loss of face for Xu Jiangming, so he nodded and agreed.

Although Xu Jiangming only won the Tanhua, it seems that he is in a good mood and does not feel pity because he did not win the champion.

After Xu Jiangming left, Han Yu said angrily: "Such a talented man is the most arrogant, looking at his appearance, he will be complacent when he is a Tanhua!" ”

Tang Xie will be very free and easy, and said with a smile: "Gongtai, let's not go to see Xu Donghe, let's think about where to celebrate tonight." Haha, I won the seventh place in the second class, according to the previous gambling contract, I should take out 10,000 taels of silver in the next and have a good banquet for the two! ”

Obviously, Tang Xie looked very excited after the palace exam.

This is a kind of "lost and regained" excitement, originally Tang Xie was very afraid that he would fall off the list, when Zhao Yuanrong said that the two candidates who fell off the list were due to personal problems, he still didn't believe it, and now he is waiting to see the real results, and his results are very good, which makes him very excited.

Although the first place in the second class and the ninety-fifth place in the second class are listed in the second class, there seems to be no difference, but when the imperial court selects officials, it is necessary to judge according to the results of the palace examination, and when there are several official vacancies, it is necessary to let the palace examination rank high to supplement, originally Tang Xie was not short of money, and now his ranking in the examination is very good, Tang Xie is likely to stay in the sixth department of the imperial court as an official, and now he can even consider the problem of being admitted to the Hanlin Academy.

Before, Tang Xie didn't dare to think about Kao Hanlin's problem, because he felt that his talent was average and he had no chance, but now that he was in the top ten in the palace exam, he would be very confident in Kao Hanlin, and he had a little more expectations in his heart.

Han Yu said with a smile: "Brother Ziqian, have you forgotten that Yongning promised that Wen Gongzi to go to the banquet!" ”

Tang Xie then remembered Zhao Yuanrong and asked, "Yongning, I haven't heard your introduction before, where did this Wen Gongzi come from?" Why does he know so much about the affairs of the court, and even knows everything about the palace test, such a friend should have let us know it earlier! ”

"Some things ......" Ji Ning pondered the words and said, "It's not easy to explain to the two of you, this Wen Gongzi is very low-key, and I also met her by accident, but I just drank with her in a small courtyard, and I didn't talk much, maybe it's just a friend of Pingshui!" ”

Tang Xie was a little envious and said: "Yongning's talent is high, so it is really admirable to know such a capable and talented person, why don't you invite this Wen Gongzi together tonight, how about the four of us go to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion?" I am willing to pay another 5,000 taels to get ...... Directly 20,000 taels of silver, the four of us are not drunk and have no home! ”

Ji Ning said: "It's still not appropriate, this Wen Gongzi doesn't seem to accept such an invitation!" ”

Han Yu also said: "Ziqian, you are also a little in a hurry, there are a lot of things today, we will go back to receive the people who report the good news in a while, we have to go back to the Ministry of Rites to change into the uniform, Yongning is going to wear the champion's red robe, and tomorrow morning you have to get up early to face the saint, why not wait for tomorrow night?" Let Yongning go to this Wen Gongzi's appointment tonight, it can be regarded as Yongning's words, and at the same time let Yongning invite Wen Gongzi, if Wen Gongzi accepts, then tomorrow night it is the best opportunity for the four of us to go together! ”
