Chapter three hundred and eighty sixth imperial palace newspaper
It has been quite some time since Lingyun High School won the top prize, and the Di Bao in Beijing announced the good news, starting on the third day of Lingyun High School's top prize.
Because it is a report from the imperial court, the transmission speed is much faster than that of an ordinary caravan. This is because the messengers will change their horses every time they arrive at a post station. They only need to wait for a while before setting off again. The rest time is very rare.
.
After more than half a month, Di Bao finally arrived in Annan Province.
In the Governor's Office of Annan Province, Hu Wenxuan, the governor, was sitting in the study room reviewing documents. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Hu Wenxuan didn't even raise his head and said, "Come in."
When the people outside the door heard Hu Wenxuan's response, they couldn't wait to open the door and strode to Hu Wenxuan's table.
I saw that the man had a hurried look on his face, his eyebrows were fluttering, as if he had encountered a great happy event. As he walked in the door, he couldn't help but be excited and shouted, "Sir, a happy event, a great happy event."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Wenxuan slowly raised his head with a calm expression. He did not show the slightest panic because of the visitor's scream. He squinted his eyes and looked at the visitor. He found that the paper of a newspaper in his hand had been moved, and he knew that this was the case.
People have checked the Di newspaper.
Seeing this, Hu Wenxuan made some mental guesses and knew the general content of Di's report. However, he did not say it out loud. He only said calmly, "What kind of happy event are you so worried about? Could it be that Di from the capital has reported?"
The visitor was pleasantly surprised, but he also flattered him and said, "Your Majesty, you are wise. This is the Beijing Newspaper. It records the news about this year's high school Jinshi."
Although it was the same as his guess, Hu Wenxuan couldn't help but feel happy, especially when he heard the visitor express his great joy. The number of Jinshi candidates must have increased this year.
"Oh? How about the Jinshi among my Annan students? How many are in the second and third place?"
"Sir, there are two people in the second class and three people in the third class."
As soon as these words came out, Hu Wenxuan's face changed with surprise, and his eyes turned cold when he looked at the visitor. He gritted his teeth and scolded, "Humph! Is this what you call a happy event? There are only five people in the high school, and three of them are fellow Jinshis.
What a joy this is, could it be that you are deceiving me?"
Hu Wenxuan tried his best to suppress the rage in his heart. There were only two people in the second class. Compared with the previous year, both the ranking and the total number were a few people behind. With such a result, they even kept lying to him and said he was overjoyed. It was simply daring.
When the people below heard Hu Wenxuan's rage, they immediately fell to their knees and begged for mercy, "My lord, calm down your anger, my lord, calm down your anger... This is indeed a great joy, because..."
Hearing that the people below were still arguing, Hu Wenxuan couldn't help but slapped his hands on the table and said angrily, "Why? You are just making nonsense. Do you know that there are only five people in high school? What does this mean? How dare you do it in front of me?"
Hu Maude, do you think you are guilty of speaking arrogantly?"
Hu Maode felt bitter in his heart and couldn't express it. He thought that before he had time to explain all the contents of the Di newspaper, Hu Wenxuan kept accusing him of his faults, which made him feel uncomfortable both inside and outside for a while.
Now that the matter has come to this, I can only bite the bullet and say, "Sir... Your Excellency, I really did not lie, nor did I mean to deceive you. If you don't believe me, please check the newspaper to know whether what I said is true."
.”
Hu Wenxuan groaned and said, "Hmph! Check it out, what are you worried about? This bullshit is not a newspaper. If there is anything else to check, just take it down and file it, so as not to get upset after reading it."
The corner of Hu Maode's mouth twitched, and the sweat on his forehead suddenly broke out, and he cried, "Sir, you... you will know after seeing it that this subordinate will never dare to deceive you. If you still think it is your fault, I will not lie to you."
I am willing to be punished."
At first glance, Hu Wenxuan felt something was wrong. He stared into Hu Maode's eyes and found that he did not mean to lie. Then he calmed down, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and his mood calmed down a little.
After glaring at Hu Maode, Hu Wenxuan said reluctantly, "This is what you said. If there is anything different from what you said, I will take the punishment myself."
Hu Maode held his head high, patted his chest and promised, "If there is any discrepancy with what my subordinate said, I am willing to be punished."
Seeing Hu Maode's repeated assurances, Hu Wenxuan was suspicious for a moment, and then said angrily, "Okay! If that's the case, then submit it!"
In this case, Hu Maode immediately placed the Di newspaper in his hand carefully in front of Hu Wenxuan, then returned to his original position and waited for Hu Wenxuan's reaction above.
The newspaper was placed in front of him, but Hu Wenxuan did not check it for the first time. He could only see him tapping his fingers on the table, wondering what he was thinking about.
Hu Wenxuan knocked on the table, and the sound of "dong dong dong" made Hu Maode upset. At this time, he kept waiting in his heart for the moment when Hu Wenxuan opened the newspaper.
However, even though Hu Wenxuan agreed to his proposal and was willing to read the newspaper, Hu Wenxuan still did not take action and just kept doing nothing.
To say that Hu Wenxuan really didn't want to start this so-called repayment, there were two people in the second place and three people in the third place. These results made him want to cry without tears.
Of course, hundreds of students from Annan participated in the examination, but only five got successful. What is the concept? In other words, 300 students were selected for Jinshi, and there were only five students from Annan Province. Five out of 100 were selected, and one out of 20 was selected.
I get angry just thinking about my grades.
In fact, what makes him most uncomfortable is that even if this year's Jinshi is the same as the previous one, he will not be like this. There are only five people. In other words, his assessment this year will definitely not be higher than B grade, let alone A grade.
"Why!"
Thinking of this, Hu Wenxuan sighed with helplessness in his heart. As for the great joy that Hu Maode once said, he dared not even think about it. For these Jinshi, even if there is any great joy, it will become
Disaster.
When he opened the grinder with slightly trembling hands, it seemed that he had exhausted all his strength. Just taking out the grinder, his whole body felt like he was exhausted.
Just when he looked at the content of Di Bao, he was stunned for a moment and stared at the top words of Di Bao in disbelief.
"Congratulations to Qianxi, the top student in Lingyun Master High School in Lingshan County, Anzhou Prefecture, Annan Province for the ninth year..."
"Congratulations to Mr. Liu Boli High School Qianxi, who is the top student in the ninth year of this year's major in Lingshan County, Anzhou Prefecture, Annan Province..."
Just these two lines of words made Hu Wenxuan unable to extricate himself for a long time. His eyes seemed to be engraved on these two words, unable to move.
Hu Wenxuan held the Di newspaper tightly with his hand, took a deep breath, and checked it carefully. The words, seals, specifications... were all correct. Everything written on it was true. All the words on the Di newspaper were printed and issued by the imperial court.
Shocked? No, surprise, huge surprise.
After confirming that it was correct, Hu Wenxuan suddenly jumped up from his position, danced, and let out bursts of epileptic laughter. These bursts of wild laughter were not concealed at all, and even the guards outside the door felt that they were listening.
Goosebumps suddenly appeared.
"Hahaha... the number one pick, hahaha... the top picks are all from my Annan, hahaha... I am so happy from heaven, God bless me Annan, so good, so good, so good, so good."
This cannot be blamed on Hu Wenxuan. No one can suppress this kind of joy. Even if it is written in the newspaper that only one of the top picks and the top pick is one, it is a great and sensational event for Annan Province and Hu Wenxuan.
This is due to the fact that Annan has never had a first-class or third-class student. This is why when Hu Wenxuan asked just now, he only asked about the number of second-class and third-class students, because he had never thought that students from Annan could be among the top three in the first-class high school.
Unexpectedly, this year, I would win two first-class awards at once. This was truly a once-in-a-century event. I never thought that Hu Wenxuan would meet him.
It is conceivable that in this year's assessment, Hu Wenxuan will definitely have a place in Class A.

After getting excited, Hu Wenxuan still held on to the report, but when he lowered his eyes and looked at Hu Maode, who was still kneeling on the ground and had not gotten up, his heart immediately softened.
I saw Hu Wenxuan walking down step by step from above, walked to Hu Maode, bent down and patted Hu Maode's hand, and said excitedly, "Maode, get up quickly, because I just didn't understand why, I wrongly blamed you.
."
As soon as these words came out, all the grievances Hu Maode had felt before were released as never before. Even if there were still some complaints in his heart, it was much better than just now.
I only heard him reply, "Thank you for your understanding, sir."
Looking at the aggrieved person, Hu Wenxuan, who was happy, did not forget to comfort him, "Maode! It was all my fault just now. I didn't check the facts. It's true that you didn't come up with the real information at the first time.
It makes me anxious."
The corners of Hu Maode's mouth kept twitching, and he couldn't say anything in his heart. He thought that he just wanted to say it, but the problem was that he had no chance!
Perhaps sensing Hu Maode's complaints, Hu Wenxuan consoled him again, "Maode! I am very happy today. I am hosting a banquet at my mansion tonight. You must come to my mansion and have a drink with me."
For such a big happy event, Hu Wenxuan would definitely have a banquet, but in order to eliminate Hu Maode's complaints, he did not hesitate to invite him to celebrate together.
As soon as Hu Wenxuan finished speaking, all the complaints in Hu Maode's heart disappeared.
"Subordinate, thank you for your kindness."
In this way, the news of Lingyun High School reached Annan Mansion.
Hu Wenxuan suddenly said, "Maode, did you find anything wrong with the name of this number one scholar?"
Hu Maode's eyelids twitched and he frowned and asked, "Sir, do you have any questions?"
Hu Wenxuan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, it's not a big problem. I just feel that the name Ling Yun seems very familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere."
Hu Maode thought something had happened at first, but Hu Wenxuan felt that Ling Yun's name was a little familiar, so he breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "Sir, this Ling Yun was the one who took the provincial examination in Annan Province four years ago."
First place."
Hu Wenxuan suddenly realized something, and then thought of something, and asked again, "Oh! No wonder, I always feel that this name is familiar. Isn't this the brother of the proprietress of Huamanlou?"
"Sir, this Ling Yun is indeed the younger brother of the proprietress of Huamanlou. My subordinates also heard that this Huamanlou was actually purchased by Ling Zhuangyuan, but because of the scientific examination, he handed it over to his sister to take care of.
."
Hu Wenxuan pondered for a moment, squinted his eyes and said, "Well! In that case, when you pass on the report, send someone to tell them about the flower house, so that they can be happy together."
"Yes, sir, I will take care of it now."
