Chapter Seventy-Six: The Final Four (Part II)
The situation on the field suddenly became confusing, the county school affiliated school was out, the final score of the Evergreen School was up and down, and the total score was half a point lower than that of Yuqing School, and they were also out.
Now only Yanying Academy is left, and if Yanying Academy's score rises, then Yanying Academy will finally win the top spot in this county taxi selection competition.
If Yanying Academy scores in the middle, it will be the same as the score of Yuqing Academy, and the two schools will have an extra match to determine the final first place.
At this time, Qi Yong raised his head and looked at Cheng Zhi intentionally or unintentionally, and the two exchanged glances silently.
Xu Zhong repeatedly explained to them that Fanning's last question is very strong, and the game cannot be delayed to the extra stage, and the winner must be determined within five questions.
Cheng Zhi gave Qi Yong a look, that's what it meant.
They thought that this look was extremely hidden, but they didn't know that Zhu Pei had been staring at the examiner Qi Yong, and the scene of Qi Yong and Cheng exchanging glances was seen by Zhu Pei.
She immediately stood up and said in a loud voice: "Zhao Xuezheng, for the sake of fairness, can you ask the county professor to also participate in the scoring?" ”
Zhao Xiuwen was stunned, "Why do you say that?" ”
Zhu Pei said coldly: "I saw the chief examiner eyeing at the master of Cheng Academy, I don't know what they are hinting at?" ”
"Nonsense!" Qi Yong scolded angrily, "There is no such thing at all. ”
He exclaimed in his heart, "This little lady's eyes are so poisonous!" ”
Zhao Xiuwen waved his hand, "The rules can't be changed by the way, you sit down!" ”
Master Liu also said: "Zhu Pei, don't interfere with the examiner's marking at will. ”
Fanning grabbed her wrist and pulled her down with a smile, "Don't worry! ”
"Don't worry about what you mean!"
Zhu Pei's dissatisfaction was vented on Fanning, she glared at Fanning and said: "Believe it or not, they will score your poem up and down at most." ”
Fanning smiled faintly, "You don't have to worry, I have already dug a trap for these bastards when I wrote this poem." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Zhu Pei was a little surprised in his heart, could it be that Fanning had something else to hide from him?
Fanning smiled, "Just wait and see!" ”
"You-"
Zhu Pei was so angry that he couldn't speak, he went all out to help him in order for him to win the first place in the county taxi selection competition, and even did not hesitate to turn his face with his aunt, but this stinky boy actually kept a hand secretly, and he still refused to tell himself.
Juppi quietly kicked him again, gritted his teeth in a low voice, and said, "If you don't say it today, don't want me to help you in the future!" ”
Seeing that she was really in a hurry, Fanning smiled and whispered a few words in her ear.
Zhu Pei covered his mouth and looked at Bao Zheng in shock, it turned out that the stinky boy and this Bao Da .....
"What if he won't stand up for you?"
Fanning smiled faintly, "Don't worry! If he doesn't stand up, he won't be Bao Zheng. ”
That being said, Fanning was still a little worried.
The last score was for the Yanying School, and they wrote a seven-character poem describing a city or a village.
The examiner Qi Yong opened Fanning's poem and was stunned for a long time, this poem is well written!
'The mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. It's a quatrain.
Qi Yong was a little embarrassed, the score of this poem was too low, a little too obvious.
If they score high, Yuqing Academy will have to go down, which is not in line with their plan.
Qi Yong's eyes rolled, he had a way, anyway, the final score was based on the majority, as long as the total score of Yanying Academy was pulled down in the end.
He distributed the poem to everyone and said with a smile: "I'm really tired today, after scoring this point, we can go back to rest!" ”
This is a hint to the examiners that there can be no draw.
The examiners understood and scored their scores, and the final score was as shown: three up and down, one in the middle, one in the middle, and one in the top.
Zhao Xiuwen played on the top, if it is combined, then the final score is up and down.
This result immediately made Yu Qing Academy cheer.
Just as the examiner was about to announce, Bao Zheng really couldn't stand Fan Ning's contemptuous gaze, so he had to stand up and say, "Please wait a minute!" ”
Bao Zheng originally didn't want to interfere in the county taxi selection competition in Wu County this time, and was only a spectator.
But such an obvious partiality is related to the fairness of the imperial examination, if he really turns a blind eye, then he is not Bao Zheng.
Everyone looked at Bao Zheng together, "What advice does the transport envoy have?" Li Yun hurriedly asked with a smile.
Bao Zheng smiled: "I'm just a little curious, someone gave the same poem, and someone gave it, and the gap was so huge that I became interested in this poem." ”
Li Yun immediately asked Zhao Xuezheng to hand over the poem to Bao Zheng, Bao Zheng read it again, and couldn't help but be stunned, isn't this the poem in Pang Jifu?
After a little thought, he understood Fanning's intentions, and he immediately smiled bitterly, this stinky boy is digging a hole for himself!
He handed the poem to Li Yun, "Let's take a look at the county order too!" ”
Li Yun read it and exclaimed, "This poem is very well written!" ”
Bao Zheng smiled and shook his head, "It's not just very good, even the Son of Heaven is full of praise for this poem." ”
Li Yun was taken aback, even the Son of Heaven praised that he only scored a score in Wu County, isn't this a slap in the face of the Son of Heaven?
He immediately called Zhao Xiuwen up, slapped the table, and said with a cold face: "Why does this poem have to be scored?" ”
"The lower official gave this poem a rating."
Li Yun was annoyed in his heart, and poked his finger at the table and said, "You are confused! You are in charge of the entire county taxi selection competition, not on behalf of yourself, and in the end, this poem scored up and down and passed out, do you want the world's readers to poke us in the backbone and scold? ”
Zhao Xiuwen broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly said: "The lower official knows his mistake, and the lower official will correct it!" ”
He hurriedly ran back and said to the examiner: "This poem is not scored correctly, re-score!" ”
Qi Yong knew in his heart that he had fallen short, he was really a little annoyed and angry, and he straightened his neck and shouted: "Where is it unfair for us to score? We don't like this poem, so what's wrong with giving it a low score? ”
"You know what is wrong!"
Zhao Xiuwen is not a fool, how can he not see that the professor of Fuxue is favoring Yuqing Academy, but he doesn't want to fall out of the relationship.
But these professors have gone too far and are too blatant.
Zhao Xiuwen finally couldn't bear it anymore, and glared at Qi Yong angrily: "I invited you to be the examiner because I respect your knowledge, but I didn't expect you to be disappointed, the Wuxian Boys' Examination has always been a fair and just place, not a private trading place for some people." ”
The five examiners were scolded so much that they couldn't get off the stage, and for a while, their faces were swollen and red.
Qi Yongyi waved his hand and said coldly: "Since Zhao Xuezheng doesn't believe us, then please ask for another master!" We don't go with you. ”
He turned back to the other examiners and said, "Let's go!" ”
The four examiners left their seats one after another and followed Qi Yong, and several professors walked away without looking back.
Zhao Xiuwen didn't stop them, let them go away, and invited the professor of Fuxue to be the main exam, which was really a bit of a mistake.
After thinking about it, Zhao Xiuwen handed over Fan Ning's poem to the four masters for scoring, and everyone praised it unanimously and gave high marks one after another, and even Cheng Zhu, who was unwilling in his heart, had to admit that this poem far surpassed his students, and he also gave a good score.
Zhao Xiuwen announced loudly: "After unanimous evaluation, the score of the fifth question of Yanying Academy is up!" ”
There was a round of applause in the lobby.
Master Liu suddenly clenched his fists excitedly, closed his eyes, and after fifteen years, Yanying Academy won the championship again.
"Ah Dai, we won!"
Juppé's face was flushed with excitement, and her big eyes were particularly shining.
Fan Ning was just as excited in his heart, and opened his arms to Ju Pei with a smile, "Come on!" Let's hug and celebrate the victory!"
Ju Pei was so frightened that he took a few steps back and glared at Fanning angrily, "Warn you, don't touch me, otherwise I want you to look good!" ”
At this time, Bao Zheng came over, and just saw this scene, he couldn't help but be angry and funny, and knocked Fan Ning on the head, "You stinky boy is really promising, okay, what are you going to do to hug someone's little lady?" ”
Fanning scratched his head and smiled: "It's just a joke, and I don't really want to hug her!" ”
The county commander Li Yun stepped forward and said with a smile: "Little lady Zhu is dressed as a little official, it is estimated that Fan Ning was so excited to win that she forgot that the other party was a little lady." ”
Zhu Pei glared at Fanning fiercely, if he didn't dodge, he would definitely be hugged by this stinky boy celebrating victory.
That day was just a moment of forgetting about it, but he found a reason to bully him.
Zhu Pei suddenly thought of something, covered his mouth and snickered: "Dumb, there is still a large group of fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law waiting for you outside!" I won't delay your life's events, I'll go first. ”
Everyone laughed, and Juppé slipped away with a gloating face.
Fan Ning was secretly glad that he didn't tell her about the Wu family's blind date, otherwise she wouldn't know what she would be teased about.
At this time, the master of the Liu courtyard stepped forward and said with a smile: "I want to set up a celebration wine in Juxian Tower tonight, and I implore the transfer envoy, the county commander and the school administration to attend together!" ”
Bao Zheng smiled, "I have official business, I must go to Hangzhou immediately to take office, next time!" ”
Li Yun was secretly happy in his heart that Bao Zheng was finally leaving.
At this time, Bao Zheng pulled Fan Ning aside and said to him solemnly: "Fan Gong heard that I came to Liangzhe Road to take up a post, and he wrote to me to ask me to take more care of you, Fan Gong is very concerned about you and pinned his hopes on you, don't let him down." ”
Fanning nodded silently.
Bao Zheng patted him on the back of the head again and smiled: "You little guy is smart enough, I hope to use it on the right path, if there is any difficulty, you can write to me, I will try my best to help you." ”
Fan Ning bowed down and thanked, "Thank you Bao Gong for your love for the younger generation!" ”
Bao Zheng nodded and smiled: "Seeing with my own eyes that you won the first place in the county taxi selection competition, I can also give Lao Fan an explanation, go back and write to him, take care!" ”
"I wish Bao Gong a smooth journey!"
Bao Zheng laughed, turned around and left, and the officials sent him out of the county school one after another.
Master Liu stepped forward and said to Fan Ning: "Don't participate in tonight's celebration banquet, take a good rest, and prepare for the individual competition of tomorrow's trials, you now have a great advantage, as long as you can play normally tomorrow, you should be able to win the championship." ”
......
Fanning's first place in the prefectural team competition gave him a head start in the individual competition, where he scored an upper score on his base score, while students from the other three schools in the semi-finals scored a mid-level score.
In the contest of top masters, the difference of half a point often means that the winner has been decided.
The next day, the individual competition was conducted for a full day of written examinations, and a total of 60 students participated in the final competition.
As a result, it is not surprising that Fanning is divided into upper foundations, upper than poetry, upper than meditation, upper and upper in miscellaneous items, and upper and middle in calligraphy.
With a huge advantage of leading the second place, he won the first place in the Wuxian County Taxi Selection Contest in the eighth year of Qingli in one fell swoop.
He is also the youngest county magistrate leader in the 15 years since the county taxi selection competition was held.
The county rewarded him with a one-time reward of 50 yuan as a scholarship for the boy's examination, and together with nine other county scholars, he was officially admitted to the county school and began a three-year training, preparing to participate in the Tongzi's examination after three years.
