As soon as Emperor Chrysostom came out, he set the top ten rankings.

Huang Jin presented the golden knife, Emperor Jiajing held the knife and opened the seal with his own hands, and the names of the upstarts were revealed in front of him, and when he saw the first two, Jiajing couldn't help laughing and said: "Hehe, they are all celebrities......"

The ranking was set, and the Ministry of Rites quickly announced the list, and at the same time sent countless teams to report the good news to the nouveau riche who lived in all corners of the capital...... It was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, making this dark and restless capital boiling to the top!

Because there will be someone to report the good news, the six brothers of the Qionglin Society did not go to the Ministry of Rites to see the list, but waited for the results in the house. Seeing that these top students didn't go, the rest of the forty-odd people were embarrassed to go out, locked in the room one by one, like wolves eager to mate, circling around in the house, but they still had to maintain their demeanor, and they didn't dare to shout to vent their nervousness, because the courtyard was crowded with business travelers from their hometowns, all waiting there, ready to congratulate the nouveau riche.

This tension spread throughout the hall, even the six who were not very nervous at first. The six of them wanted to talk, but they were so nervous that they ran out of words, staring at each other with big eyes, not knowing what to say.

Xu Wei proposed: "Let's fight the horse hanging, that thing is distracting." A few people didn't have a better idea, so they went to the front yard to find a deputy horse crane and came back, but they could only play with four people. So the lottery was drawn, and Xu Wei and Sun Ling became two unlucky eggs, and they could only run to the side to play chess.

In fact, under normal times, Xu Wei would not play chess with others, because his chess power is too high, and the six of Qionglin Club can't win against him together, so what's the point of playing?

But today is more evil, and it is going down, Xu Wei is actually defeated and retreated without letting his son, and seeing that the big dragon has been captured, there is no way to live. The heartless Sun Ling was very happy, and said loudly: "Brothers, come and see, I have eaten the big dragon of the chess saint!" "Sun Ergongzi is about his own level, and it shouldn't be a problem to be in the top 50, but thinking about the top 10 is also an extravagant hope, and the good is not much better, and the bad is not bad, so the mentality is relatively relaxed.

Why Xu Wei fell off the standard is because he is the most nervous of all...... In order not to repeat the scene at the bottom of the township test, he has been thinking about it for half a year, imitating the path of silence, putting his uninhibited and uninhibited style like a wild horse on his head, and finally writing an article that he thinks is 'decent'.

Speaking from facts, Xu Wei's attainments are higher than those of Shen Mo, and it is not difficult to write an article like Shen Mo, but it is just to persuade himself to give up his style and take the pure test-taking route, which is really painful for a pure literati like him.

But Xu Wei can't forget the ardent expectations when his mother-in-law died; I can't forget the eldest brother who lost his life and never finished the imperial examination, and I can't forget the first half of my life when my biological mother was sold, his family was ruined, he lived in Yue's house, suffered a lot, and was poor! He knew very well that if he wanted to break through the cage of fate, the only way to do this damn imperial examination was to rely on it!

So he can't let himself be at the bottom of the seven anymore, the township test is fashionable and can barely win, if he doesn't improve this time, he is very likely to fall first. The more you care, the more nervous you become, and in the end you won't even be able to play chess, which is normal.

But the five lost friends didn't care about this, and the four who played the horse crane dropped their cards when they heard the words, and surrounded them with a hula, and said gossipily: "The chess saint was defeated, but it was a milestone battle of the society, and we will take it as a biography!" "Write a song!" "Paint to paint!" "Composition is ...... song" to say that usually, everyone's mouths will not be so lacking in morality, but now everything is to relieve pressure, what is annoying and what is said.

Xu Wei was already nervous to death, and when he heard the words, he was even more smoking, he wanted to save face, and he refused to admit defeat, so he competed with everyone, and held it there like constipation, which was called 'long exam'...... Just when everyone was waiting to see a good show, all of a sudden, the front yard was in an uproar, and many people shouted: "Coming, coming!" It's finally here! ”

Hearing this sound, Xu Wei breathed a sigh of relief, got up and said, "It seems that he came to us to report the good news, let's go out and have a look." ”

Over there, Sun Ling won against Xu Wei who had not met before, so he naturally refused to give up, pulled his arm and said: "If you want to go out, finish this move first, or admit defeat." ”

Xu Wei said awe-inspiringly: "Playthings are demoralized, is the mission of our Qionglin Club important, or is your game of chess important?" ”

Sun Ling glared at him angrily and said, "If you don't value this game of chess, why don't you admit defeat?" I think you can't afford to lose. ”

The other four had to persuade: "Don't worry, we'll remember the chess for you, first seal the game and come back before playing." Sun Ling gave up, and the six of them looked in the mirror, straightened their clothes, and went out like dogs.

When the six of them were about to go out, the courtyard was already crowded, and they couldn't get out at all, so they had to stand at the door, open the window and look out.

I saw that a fellow villager had already stood up with joy, and in a congratulatory voice, he was put on a big red flower by his fellow villagers, and helped him to a tall horse with the same hanging flowers, ready to wait for all the fellow villagers to be baked, and celebrate in the streets of Sijiu City.

Looking at the old-looking fellow villager, Xu Wei didn't know him, and asked in a low voice: "Who is this, why are you so faceless?" ”

"It's called Pan Qing, it's Shangyu, and it took the exam four times to get the first place today, so it's always been relatively low-key." Tao Dalin, who was on the side, whispered: "I won three hundred and thirty this time, which is really gratifying." "Because the palace examination only does rankings, not elimination, so the examination of the tribute is basically equal to the middle jinshi.

After a while, sure enough, another newspaper came over with gongs and drums, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he shouted: "Good news, Gong Zhizhi, the master of Shanyin County, Shaoxing, Zhejiang, the 270th tribute in the high school Bingchen examination, the top saint of the Jinluan Palace!" ”

Firecrackers and fireworks were prepared in the yard, and they crackled and set off. A thirty or forty-year-old gentleman with a happy face stood up, raised his hand and said, "I am Gong Zhi!" The newspapers came forward to kowtow and beg for a reward, and after getting the thick red envelopes, they didn't stay to eat, so they ran away with a cigarette...... Today's task is too heavy, and the manpower is insufficient, so we have to turn the axis to do it, but fortunately, each newspaper can have a rich market, so the newspapers are much more diligent than usual.

People just brought a big red flower for Gong Zhi and helped him to a tall horse. Outside came to report the good news again, "Good news, Zhejiang Shaoxing Mountain, Huiji County, Ye Yingchun, high school Bingchen will take the 243rd tribute, Jinluan Hall is saintly!" ”

The next wave of good news, by noon, a total of ten Shaoxing lifters received good news, the highest ranking has reached seventy-seventh, and the six brothers of Qionglin Society, none of them have been clicked.

At this time, the eyes of everyone in the courtyard were all on the six people, and they were all talking about it, speculating whether they would all win and what their rankings were. The six people also had dry mouths and hairy hearts, but they still had to be forced to calm down so as not to be embarrassed. But after Xie Zongming, who was seventy-seven, didn't come to report the good news for half an hour, the six people were scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, and the seven orifices were smoking...... Finally, before he was completely crazy, he heard a hoarse chant outside the door: "Good news, Zhejiang Shaoxing Huiji County Master Wu Zhidui, high school Bingchen will take the fortieth tribute, Jinluan Hall is saint!" ”

The brothers breathed a sigh of relief, pushed Wu Dui out, put red on him and hung the color, and helped him to go on the horse.

After a while, two more teams came to report:

"Good news, the old man of Yuyao County, Shaoxing, Zhejiang, the thirty-first tribute in the high school Bingchen examination, the saint of the Jinluan Palace!"

"Good news, the old man of Yuyao County, Shaoxing, Zhejiang, the twenty-seventh tribute in the high school Bingchen examination, the saint of the Jinluan Palace!"

After another short pause, a scene that everyone present will never forget, four teams of newspapers arrived at the door at the same time, and the good news came one after another:

"Good news, Zhejiang Shaoxing Huiji County Master Tao Dalin, high school Bingchen will test the fourth tribute, Jinluan Hall above the saint!"

"Good news, Zhejiang Shaoxing Shanyin County Lord Zhu Zhu Dashou, high school Bingchen will take the third place in the Gongshi, Jinluan Hall above the saint!"

"Good news, the lord of Shanyin County, Shaoxing, Zhejiang, Xu Zhiwei, the second place in the high school Bingchen examination, the saint of the Jinluan Palace!"

Then all the newspapers shouted together: "Good news, the lord of Huiji County, Shaoxing, Zhejiang, is silent, the first place in the high school Bingchen will be the first place in the exam, and the foreman of the Jinluan Hall will face the saint!" ”

Although many people guessed that several members of their Qionglin Club would be ranked first, no one thought that they would win the top four, which was really unexpected and happy...... Nearby Hangzhou Club, Chuzhou Club, Jinhua Club, Taizhou Club and other villagers from Zhejiang Province have flocked to the Shaoxing Club to celebrate this infinitely glorious moment with them...... This is not only the honor of Shaoxing people, but also the honor of the whole Zhejiang!

After celebrating for a long time, people suddenly realized that this Huiyuan had already won the big four, and with this yuan, it was even five yuan! Five dollars in a row! I've never heard of it!

Everyone surged up very strongly, wanting to see what this five-yuan god was looking for.

When I was looking around, I was surprised to find that I couldn't find the figure of Huiyuan Gong, and I asked the people of Qionglin Society, but I just said that I didn't know, and when I was in a hurry, I said that I went to Xiangshan to visit friends, and I might come back in two days. Although people were so unhappy, they still kindly reminded: "It's the palace test in half a month, don't delay......"

The six brothers were full of confidence and said, "I won't ......," but they also said in their hearts: "Brother Humble Yan, you have to rush back......

So where did the silence go?
