? After noon, Ji Ning accompanied Tang Xie and the others, still waiting in the teahouse near Jingzhao Mansion.

At this time, the release of the list has entered the final stage, and there are already many candidates who can't squeeze in the Ministry of Rites and the Gongyuan to check the release of the list to Jingzhao Mansion to listen to the news, the teahouse is already full, only the first person has a seat, and Ji Ning and the others are in the window position, which is very suitable for listening to the news outside.

As for the release of the exam, there are only the last top 20 tributes left.

Xie Tai and Song Rui don't have much hope, because in their imagination, even if they can pay tribute, they should be ranked in the lower reaches of the hundred, and they can't achieve the outstanding effect of asking themselves, so that at this time, in fact, they are pinning their hopes on Ji Ning, they hope that Ji Ning can be ranked better, not like them, and at the same time, they will have a little more expectation in their hearts, what if their chapter is really appreciated by the examiner, and is specially promoted?

As for the old pedants who had gathered in the teahouse before, they looked old-fashioned at this time, one by one as if they were Huiyuan, and even everyone went to the window, and some were complimenting each other, saying that the other party was about to be reported good news, and the words were quite arrogant.

Those who had just come over, after learning the names of these old pedants, thought of the fame of these people, and did not think that these old pedants were bragging, but went up to compliment them, which made these old scholars even more carried away.

It is a pity that until the fifteenth place of the tribute, there is still no one to choose, and none of the people who come to listen to the news can go down to intercept the person who announces the good news and welcome the person upstairs.

When the fifteenth report ended, Jingzhao Mansion entered a short quiet period, and there was a lot of noise in the teahouse for a long time, and they were speculating about what had happened, so that Jingzhao Mansion would not continue to report the good news for a long time.

Tang Xie looked at Ji Ning and asked, "Yongning, do you know what happened, why did Jingzhao Mansion suddenly cut off the good news?" ”

Ji Ning thought for a moment and said, "If my expectations are not bad, the top fourteen in this test will be exquisite." Although the examination is not divided into rankings, if the results of the examination are substituted into the palace examination, before the examination, it is the first champion, the top eye and the flower, which is the top class; The fourth to fourteenth places in the examination are the top 10 of the second class. This is an outstanding jinshi in the palace examination, and it should be taken seriously......"

Tang Xie and Han Yu were on their own, knowing that they would not appear on the list of the last fourteen people, Tang Xie smiled and said: "I didn't expect this to be exquisite, it seems that Yongning, you know much more about the exam, than us!" It's no wonder that you can accurately find the place of Jingzhao Mansion to listen to the good news, otherwise if this is still in the Ministry of Rites and the Tribute Courtyard, I am afraid that it has not yet squeezed forward! ”

Ji Ning smiled and didn't say much.

……

……

I have been waiting for half an hour, and just when everyone was waiting a little anxiously, suddenly someone at the window shouted: "It's coming!" ”

One sentence attracted everyone's attention to the window, and the teahouse was quiet, but seeing that Jingzhao Mansion appeared at a time two famous yacha this time, to the top fourteen, it was no longer just one yacha who came out to report the good news, but sent many people at a time, some were responsible for beating gongs and drums, and some were responsible for shouting good news, and the division of labor was also very clear.

"Master Liu Anyu Liu of Okura County, Ningzhou County, the fourteenth place in the Gaohui Tribute Test, is happy to spread to thousands of families!"

The person who reported the good news this time not only reported the names and places of origin of the candidates, but also added auspicious words, which also shows that the court and the temple attach great importance to the top 14 in the examination.

Tang Xie asked, "Who is this Liu Anyu?" ”

No one has heard of this Liu Anyu, but Ji Ning can say it accurately: "Although Liu Anyu is from Ningzhou County, he himself is from Jiangbei, and his father is Liu Cheng, the magistrate of Huzhou. ”

Tang Xie and Han Yu and the others admired Ji Ning a little more, and Han Yu was curious: "Where does Yongning know?" ”

Ji Ning sighed: "I also realized that I didn't know much about the students who took the same exam before, so I did some more homework in this area after the exam, and then I learned a thing or two." ”

"Rare, rare!" Han Yu was also a little ashamed, "Yongning's talent is far above me and Ziqian, if we have a tribute, and you don't, then the examiner is not choosing someone properly!" ”

"Brother Gongtai has said this, the next learning, is just ordinary knowledge, and the most important thing in the examination is experience, in the next time to participate in the examination, it is good to have a general performance, the first time to learn experience!" Ji Ning said.

A few people said a few polite words, because the good news outside was still going on, and the energy of several people was not more than negotiation and compliments.

Immediately, the tenth and twelfth places began to be reported in turn, and most of these people's names were still somewhat famous, not unknown people, which just showed that this examination was relatively fair.

When I arrived at the sixth place in the exam, there was still no name of Ji Ning and those old scholars upstairs, but there was a lifter who was squatting at the door waiting for news, and when he learned that he had won the first place in Gongshi, he fainted excitedly, and it was also everyone who helped spray his face with cold water, and he barely stood up, but the whole person was also a little happy and sad.

Ji Ning shook his head helplessly, thinking, "It's like what Fan Jinju looked like!" ”

Finally reached the fifth place, and the person who reported this time surprised Ji Ning and others: "...... Gu Yuming Gu of Jiangyou County, Jiangbei, the fifth place in the Gaohui Tribute Student, and the good news is that he even ascended to the top ......"

Hearing this name, there was also an exclamation upstairs, others may not know it, but when it comes to Gu Yuming, he is the number one celebrity in this test.

Once a famous Jiangbei talent, but several sessions did not enter the scholar and depressed, as a result of the Beijing poetry meeting a few years ago, but it was proved by man that the poem was not written by him, and he was not willing to pursue the Min Shan county lord of Huiwangfu as a result of being ridiculed, and then was beaten half to death and was carried back...... Everyone thought that Gu Yuming was just a jumping clown in this year's examination, and he would never hear this person's name again, but who would have thought that Gu Yuming's score in the examination was directly the fifth place in the Gongshi, and if it was converted into the results of the palace examination, this would be the second place in the second class of the palace examination.

"Did I hear me right? Gu Yuming: Fifth? He...... What talent does he have? Tang Xie was also unnatural, he and Han Yu had a lot of sarcasm about Gu Yuming at the beginning, but now they felt that their faces were a little unbearable.

Ji Ning smiled and said, "We haven't really discussed knowledge with him, so how do we know?" ”

Han Yu glanced at Ji Ning and said: "Yongning can still laugh, there are only four people left, if not, then it will have to wait for a year." You're not nervous at all? ”
