Wang Fu knew that his young master was extremely smart and thoughtful, no matter what happened, as long as he showed some clues, he couldn't escape her eyes.

At this time, seeing the young master looking at him, he couldn't help but nod slightly.

Du Jinning retracted his gaze and followed everyone outside.

In the past, the level of the children's examination was too low to enter the eyes of the bigwigs in the court, and her test papers were really outstanding, so it was normal to take the first case; However, the township examination is different, and it can be used by various factions as a channel for cultivating and selecting talents. They don't allow other factions or "outsiders" who don't use them to get the solution.

Therefore, her expectations for the township test are not high. As long as you can successfully pass the township test, and the ranking is higher, you can enter the top 20.

Although the first twenty does not have any special significance, this is her bottom limit. After all, there are not many people in this city who have better grades than her. Although there are also talents in the county, there is still a gap compared with the gentlemen in the prefecture. With her level, she was ranked outside the twenty, and she was unwilling and unconvinced.

But looking at Wang Fulai like this, it seems that she won the first place, which can't help but make her suspicious, and she doesn't believe that such a good thing will fall on her head.

The group got into the carriage and went to the Tribute Courtyard, and saw that the gate of the Tribute Courtyard was full of people, and the place where the list was posted was impassable.

The people present were all beautiful children, looking at the scholars who were squeezed with their hair messed, their clothes torn, and even one shoe left, everyone felt palpitations.

"You guys go in and look at the list." Qi Muyuan instructed a few small servants.

When they went out to eat, they all brought their servants with them. These little guys are young, energetic, and not afraid of losing face, so it's perfect to squeeze in and watch the list.

As soon as Aoki, Guanqi and others agreed, they showed their magic and went into the crowd to see the list.

Du Jinning and the others just stood there leisurely, chatting and waiting.

Although Aoki usually doesn't talk much, he is a very clever person. And in order to better protect Du Jinning's safety, Yao Shuqi specially invited someone to teach Aoki to practice martial arts. Although Aoki is not as flexible as those who practice small exercises, his skills are more flexible than ordinary people. With his ability, it is not difficult to get into the crowd to watch the list before other small guys.

But on the way to come, he got Wang Fulai's hint, although he also pretended to squeeze in as much as he could, but he was always slower than watching chess, and a little faster than the other guys. Because watching chess is also practicing martial arts, and with Liu Gao's guidance, martial arts are much better than those of him, a halfway monk, and the speed of reading the list is normal. The other guys hadn't practiced martial arts, so he couldn't say anything slower than them.

It wasn't until he watched the chess and squeezed in to look at the list, and when he turned around and squeezed out, he squeezed to the front of the list and saw the ranking written on it.

The first in line is his family's young master Du Jinning.

The second place is Qi Siyu.

third place, Qi Muyuan.

Guan Jiaze is fifth, Fang Shaohua is tenth, Liang Xiankuan is eleventh, and Xu Chengyuan is nineteenth.

Seeing that his young master was at the top of the list, and the two uncles were also on the list, and the ranking was quite high, Aoki was suddenly overjoyed, and he didn't care about pretending anymore, so he turned around and squeezed out desperately, causing a series of scolding.

Although Aoki didn't intend to slow down anymore, he had opened up a gap with Guanqi before, and when he returned to Du Jinning, Guanqi had already reported the situation on the list to everyone.

Aoki took advantage of the effort of reporting to Du Jinning, and secretly observed Qi Muyuan's expression with his spare eyes.

He originally thought that Qi Muyuan would have extremely high expectations for the township examination after knowing that there were people from their faction among the examiners, and he was eager to win the first place. After all, Qi Muyuan and his young master are usually equal in the academy, but every time they are in second place in the imperial examination, no matter who they are, they will feel unfair. This time there is hope, but the expectations are different.

Now he not only did not get the first place, but he didn't even get the second place, and he only ranked third. In this case, it is difficult to say whether Qi Muyuan will be resentful and become angry with the young master of his family.

This is also the reason why Wang Fulai obviously read the list and knew the rankings of the young masters early, but pretended not to know, and wanted others to see the list first.

After all, his young master won the first place, and Qi Muyuan won the third, should they be happy or unhappy when the time comes? Showing unhappiness is too fake, making people feel that they and even the young master of his family are flatterers, and they want to hold the Qi family, and they don't even dare to show their happiness for the top spot in high school; Showing happiness, will it cause Qi Muyuan to be unhappy, thus angering his young master?

So it's better to avoid the limelight.

And now, when Qi Muyuan heard that he was the third, he was stunned for a moment and frowned, and then turned around very happily to congratulate Du Jinning, there was no unevenness, jealousy and resentment in his expression, Wang Fulai and Aoki were relieved.

Qi Muyuan didn't have any bad emotions, let alone others. This way to the test, Du Jinning has always been the first and the head of the case, everyone is used to it. If Du Jinning didn't get the first place, everyone would feel strange, and they would wonder what was going on in this scientific expedition.

Du Jinning looked at everyone's looks, and while she breathed a sigh of relief, she felt how lucky she was to be able to make friends with such a group of broad-minded people.

Although Guan Jiaze has not returned to Gui Province in the past two years, he has correspondence with Du Jinning and others, and he still knows very well what happened in Gui Province. He was originally a person who loved and hated clearly, and when he heard that Qi Siyu had won the second place, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Then Qi Siyu's talent is really so good that he can climb to Qi Muyuan's head?" ”

Qi Muyuan naturally knew that this was the result of the struggle for power, but it was difficult to say it, so he said lightly: "Each flower has its own eyes." Township test, it's not who is usually high enough to be in front. ”

Guan Jiaze nodded and said no more.

Although they are standing at a certain distance from others and will not be heard, they are still cautious in their words and deeds during the imperial examination. If he continues to question, someone will have to say that he is dissatisfied with the impartiality of the examiner. He is not the open-mouthed character of the government examination two years ago, so he naturally knows that it is not appropriate to say more at this time.

"Alright, let's go back. Tomorrow morning, I have to get up in the dark and enter the exam room. Du Jinning said.

Remembering that there were still the second and third exams, everyone didn't dare to delay any longer, so they said hello and dispersed.

Du Jinning is a person with extremely high emotional intelligence, and she knows that Qi Muyuan may have no qualms about her winning the first place, but Qi Bokun is different.

If she didn't mention that she had won the first place, and only pretended to be confused, even if Qi Bokun couldn't blame her, she would feel uncomfortable in her heart after all. If she said it frankly, Qi Bokun not only wouldn't blame her, but felt that she was open-minded, not greedy, clearly understood her position, and might look up to her higher.
