Fanning smiled and said: "It's just an argumentative essay, in class, Xuezheng requires us to finish it in an hour, and now three hours have passed, can't we still write it?" ”

The confident smile on Fan Ning's face made Zhao Xiuwen breathe a sigh of relief, and he hurriedly asked, "What is the topic?" ”

""Spring and Autumn Unrighteous War", this is the topic of today's argumentative essay, did Xuezheng guess?"

Zhao Xiuwen frowned slightly, and shook his head, "This topic is easy to do, but it is not easy to do well, although I knew that I would take the "Mencius", but I didn't expect to take this topic." ”

Zhao Xiuwen was just about to ask Fan Ning for a specific question, but he heard Guo Yun's angry roar not far away: "You bastard, you dare to question the saint?" This is the imperial examination, not a classroom exercise! ”

Fan Ning turned his head to look, and saw that Xuezheng Guo Yun was yelling at Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng's face was flushed, his head was lowered, and his hands were rubbing the cloth bag vigorously.

Zhao Xiuwen suddenly asked Fan Ning vigilantly, "Didn't you question the saint?" ”

Fanning shook his head, "Students can tell the occasion!" ”

"That's right, it's not that we can't question the saint, it's just that the risk is too great, even if the examiner doesn't care, but there are also the preliminary examiners, the re-examiners, and the deputy examiners, any of them are dissatisfied with your questioning, and your papers will be rejected, and they won't be able to get to the examiner's desk at all."

"Thank you for the reminder!"

At this time, as soon as Zhao Xiuwen turned around, he saw two more people handing in the papers, and his eyes widened, "Why did you two come out?" ”

The people who came out were none other than Fan Minh Ren and Fan Ming Li, and the two of them were full of lightness, as if they had done well in the exam.

Mingren stepped forward to salute Zhao Xiuwen, and said with a hippie smile: "The two of us are focused on participation, just see what the imperial examination is like, as for the entrance examination, we have self-knowledge." ”

Mingli pretended to be frightened and said, "Xuezheng won't have hope for us, right?" ”

Zhao Xiuwen rolled his eyes, if the solution was ranked from beginning to end, he estimated that these two living treasures would be ranked at least two thousand five hundred.

Expecting them to be admitted to the Juren, it is better to expect this year's Tongzi Test Wu County to win five tribute warriors, which seems to be a little more reliable.

"Forget it, you go! Continuing the exam tomorrow and finishing it in three days is the only thing I ask of you. ”

"Don't worry! It's not our way to run away. ”

The two jumped up, grabbed Fanning's arm from left to right, and said with a smile: "A-Ning, take you to a fun place." ”

Zhao Xiuwen glared at them, "I warn you, you are not allowed to take Fan Ning to drink, and you are not allowed to affect his exam tomorrow." ”

"Xuezheng, how can we affect A-Ning's exam, I'll be back soon!"

The two dragged Fan Ning into the distance, Zhao Xiuwen looked at them walking away, and couldn't help shaking his head, he didn't stop the two brothers from taking Fan Ning away, he also hoped that Fan Ning would relax a little, and it was not a good thing to be too tight.

．．．．．．．．

"You two guys, where are you taking me?"

Fanning wrenched free from their grasps, straightened his clothes a little, and glared at them fiercely.

"It's the store in front, the one with a red canopy, and it's the most interesting store we've ever seen."

Fanning was a little interested, and asked with a smile, "What do you do?" ”

"Just look at it."

The two walked quickly to the door of the store, Fanning looked up at the sign carefully, only to see that the sign read: 'Dingyun Guan Pu Shop!' ’

Fanning's mind turned, and he blurted out in surprise, "Ah! It turned out to be a gambling house. ”

"It's not the kind of gambling house you imagined, regular shop, let's go! We bet to go. ”

The two brothers dragged Fanning into the store.

Guan Pu shop is the gambling hall of the Song Dynasty, but it is not the kind of enthusiastic gambling hall in the TV of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but a bit like the mahjong hall of later generations, there are more than a dozen tables in the store, and there are people gambling on each table, mostly playing leaf plays.

Next to the counter is a large wooden board, on which is a large piece of paper with the words "Bet on the test" written on it.

Mingli stepped forward, took out an ingot of five taels of silver and knocked on the counter, "Is the shopkeeper here?" ”

Of course, the silver was taken from the Zhu family's money shop on the way, and the two brothers obviously wanted to play again.

A small door behind the counter opened, and a short and fat middle-aged man walked out, he saw Akihito and Mingli at a glance, and immediately smiled all over his face, "The two little officials are here again?" ”

"Isn't it good to take care of your business?"

Akihito pushed the silver in front of the shopkeeper, "Bet on the first place in the boy's test, bet on Yao Xi." ”

The two brothers have extremely keen business opportunities, and the first place in the children's test is the popular Jiang Feng of Changzhou County, which is currently one to two, and they just saw Guo Yun reprimanding Jiang Feng at the gate of the examination institute, and they knew that Jiang Feng did not do well in this subject.

The two immediately rushed to close the shop to place bets before the news came out, and many people would come to bet in the afternoon, and the odds would definitely change.

The shopkeeper found out their bet slip yesterday, and said with a smile: "The two of you bet on Fan Ning yesterday, and today you bet on Yao Xi, he is still one to four, how much are you going to bet?" ”

"Bet five taels of silver each!"

"Great! Wait a minute, you'll be fine. ”

Fanning took this opportunity to pull the two aside and asked curiously, "You took me into custody yesterday?" ”

"Of course, you have to bet on your brother, we have bet five taels of silver each, you are currently one to twenty, the state is very bad, you have to work hard! Don't let us lose money. ”

Fan Ning said angrily: "Why don't you bet a hundred taels of silver?" If I get the first in the exam, you will be rich. ”

"We're not that stupid!"

Mingli pointed to a line of small words under the sign, "Look here!" ”

Only then did Fanning notice that there was a line of small print underneath, 'The upper limit of the bet on the boy's trial is 100 yuan.' ’

Mingren hugged Fanning's shoulders and said with a smile: "That's why I bet you five taels of silver, who made you give people lack confidence, and actually paid twenty for one." ”

"What about the general dismissal?" Fanning asked with a smile.

"There is no limit to the ordinary release test, if you have the ability to escort the top three in the test, the high price of one hundred paid by the Guan Pu shop, if you win, you will really send it."

"Is it that high?"

"Of course, the premise is that you have to go all-in with three, and you can't be wrong in the ranking, and if you make a slight mistake, it will be invalid."

Fanning nodded, "How much silver do you still have?" ”

"We still have ten taels for each of us, A-Ning, what are you going to do?"

"Lend it to me, I'll bet on it!"

The two brothers suddenly became interested, grabbed Fanning and asked, "You want to bet on the top three?" ”

Fan Ning smiled slightly, "Big gambling hurts the body, small gambling is pleasant, play a little, it doesn't hurt to lose, I'm afraid of winning, this Guan Pu shop can't afford to lose." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, this is the Guan Pu shop of the Yang family, the third richest man in Pingjiang Mansion, are you afraid that it can't afford to lose?"

At this time, the shopkeeper had already finished writing the list and handed it to the brothers Mingren and Mingli, and he smiled at Fan Ning and asked: "This little official wants to escort the top three in the test, it's not easy!" ”

Fanning took a note, wrote three names on the note and handed it to the shopkeeper, "I bet on these three people, and the rankings are marked next to them, twenty taels of silver." ”

"Twenty taels of silver, the petty official is so courageous, good! Twenty taels of silver was taken by the shop. ”

For Guan Pudian, this kind of bet is basically giving money, thousands of people participate in the imperial examination, even if there are popular figures, even if you bet on all of them, but it is more difficult to bet on the right order.

Moreover, two of the three people Fanning bet on were unknown and had never heard of it, so the shopkeeper gladly accepted the bet.

The shopkeeper opened a bet sheet for Fan Ning, and said with a smile: "Little official, you have collected this list, good luck, winning the lottery is a hundred times the income." ”

"Thank you shopkeeper!"

Fanning put away the bet sheet and smiled at Mingren and Mingli: "Let's go!" ”

The three of them walked out of the shop, and Akihito asked in a low voice, "Li Youlin is only ranked tenth on the hot list, how do you think he can win Xie Yuan?" ”

Fanning smiled slightly, "I'm only ranked seventh on the boy's hot list, why are you betting on me?" ”

Mingli immediately retorted: "You are our brother, of course we have to support you, and we have to support you if we lose money, but you have nothing to do with Li Youlin." ”

Fan Ning was really hard to explain, so he had to smile and said: "It's hard to say anything now, let's wait for the list to be released!" If you lose, you admit it. ”

Mingren and Mingli were full of doubts in their hearts, and asked again and again, but Fanning just smiled and didn't say anything.
