Lu Jiuyuan said: "Regardless of it." Whoever wrote the article, I would take it first. ”

"Naturally." Peng Shicheng nodded in agreement.

"I'm okay with that." Shi Xiu also said.

After determining the head of the case, Peng Shicheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then what about Qi Siyu?" Shall we take him second place? ”

Although the hospital exam is vague, it is not difficult to determine which test paper is Qi Siyu's.

Because Qi Yuandao's ideas in learning are very distinct, Qi Siyu, as his grandson, not only shows the same ideas as Qi Yuandao in the article, but also quotes Qi Yuandao's views in many places.

This is also a small action that Qi Siyu did during the hospital exam. If Du Jinning's article didn't tickle Lu Jiuyuan's few people, Qi Siyu's small action would be very effective, so that Lu Jiuyuan and the others could pick out his papers from the many test papers at a glance.

Shi Xiu opened his mouth, but he didn't speak, his eyes looked at Lu Jiuyuan.

This time, the chief examiner was Lu Jiuyuan, and Lu Jiuyuan naturally had to make up his mind about this matter.

Lu Jiuyuan thought for a while, and reached out to take another test paper: "Take this test paper as the second." He pointed to Qi Siyu's share, "Let's take this one as the third." ”

As long as you don't take Qi Siyu as the first place, you will greatly offend the Qi family. If Qi Siyu is taken as the second, not only will it not please him, but it will make the Qi family look down on him. It's better to do it more thoroughly and take Qi Siyu as the third. Anyway, the second-ranked volume, the articles and trial poems are also very well written, no less than Qi Siyu.

In the rest of the time, after the preliminary examination, they reviewed each other's examination papers again, drew out the 100 examination papers that had been admitted, and ranked them, and handed them to the lieutenant who led the sergeant to invigilate the examination, and the lieutenant ordered his deputy to unpack the original examination papers, find out the 100 papers, and transcribe the names one by one.

From the moment the admitted test papers were handed over to the lieutenant, there was nothing left for Lu Jiuyuan and the others, and they could go and rest. But the three of them waited in a daze, and after the list was copied over there, the three of them sent someone to ask who the first name was.

"You tell them that the first surname is Du Jinning." The lieutenant said, instructing his lieutenant, "Copy out the list and publish it." ”

Lu Jiuyuan and the others received a message, you look at me, I look at you.

Peng Shicheng was puzzled: "Du Jinning? I've never heard of this name. ”

Shi Xiu smiled: "Isn't this a normal thing? A child, even if he is talented, his talent will not be able to reach my ears. ”

Not to mention the distance, there is also a huge disparity in the identities between the two sides, they have never heard of Du Jinning's name, which is normal.

"I don't know how old this man is." Peng Shicheng said.

"yes, we'll have to wait until the exam is over. However, looking at the articles he wrote, he must be at least thirty years old. Lu Jiuyuan sighed.

When they entered this tribute academy, they could no longer leave, and they could not leave this place until the test papers of the second re-examination were corrected and the list of admissions for the academy examination was announced. This is also to avoid that after the first list is released, they will be harassed by the outside world, so that they cannot be judged fairly.

……

Outside, Du Jinning went back to the small courtyard after the exam and slept a lot, and after getting up at noon, she continued to read her books step by step, not caring about the disturbances outside. She tried her best during the exam, but as for the result, it was not up to her to control it, and it was useless to be nervous.

Yao Shuqi and Wang Fulai have already followed Du Jinning through a government test, and they can still be calm when they see Du Jinning like this, but Jiangbei can't be calm.

He didn't dare to dangle in front of Du Jinning, and ran out early the next morning to the gate of the Gongyuan to take a few turns, wanting to see if the list was released, listening to what others were saying, and wondering if his young master could be on the list. After shaking it a few times and turning it back, he didn't dare to disturb Du Jinning's tranquility with what he heard, so he pulled Wang Fulai to mutter.

Wang Fulai's heart was also hanging, although he was still stable and didn't go outside, he was also very willing to listen to all kinds of true and false news brought back by Jiangbei.

“…… Now the highest voice outside is Qi Siyu of Fuxue. I heard that after he finished the exam, he silently showed his article to his old man, and his old man shouted a few times, saying that his article was quite good. Who is the old man in his family? The great Confucian Qi Yuan Dao Qi old man. Mr. Qi's article is good, it is a proper court case. Our young master wants to take the head of the case, but I'm afraid it's hanging. ”

"Is Qi Siyu the head of the government? Our young master is the head of the house. No matter how well his article is written, can it be as good as our young master? Let me tell you, our young master's article was also praised and praised by Guan Shanchang, Zheng Shanchang and Mr. Yuan. What is Mr. Qi's praise? Our young master's article was also praised by Mr. Qi, and Mr. Qi still wanted to accept our young master as an apprentice at that time. It's just that our young master is low-key and doesn't like to talk about this kind of thing outside. Wang Fulai has a mysterious confidence in Du Jinning.

Jiangbei was shocked: "What? And what's going on? Tell me quickly, tell me quickly, how did Mr. Qi praise our young master? He really wants to take our young master as an apprentice? Then why didn't the young master come to Fucheng to visit him this time? If you go to visit him, maybe it will be our young master who has spread the news at this time. ”

Wang Fulai will brag about the last government test.

In fact, when Du Jinning went to visit Mr. Qi, he was not around, he didn't see it with his own eyes, but he only learned about it after listening to various people talk about it. But this does not prevent him from spreading the wings of his imagination and establishing a glorious image for Du Jinning in front of Jiangbei, a little budding newcomer.

"Our young master is really amazing. Mr. Qi accepted him as an apprentice, but he was unmoved, and even the academic master looked at our young master differently. The chief examiner this time is a scholar and a political master, even if Qi Siyu is Mr. Qi's grandson, he may not be able to fight our young master. Jiangbei also quickly became Du Jinning's fan brother.

Wang Fulai patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "So, young man, you have to learn from the young master's steady strength." What do you think about that? ”

"Qi Siyu." Jiang Bei hurriedly added.

"Oh, whatever he is. I said, now he's been blown so badly, if it weren't for him, I don't know what he would be ashamed of. It's still as good as our young master, steady, not arrogant or impatient. If I were a scholar of political science, I would take our young master as the head of the case. ”

Du Jinning happened to come out, and when he heard Wang Fulai's words, he couldn't help but be angry and funny.

She kicked Wang Fulai lightly: "Don't be blowing nonsense there, go and set up a car, I'm going to Qi Mansion." ”

"Okay." Wang Fulai got up from the steps and went to set up the car.
