Chapter 240: A strange combination of circumstances leads to an unexpected first place
Ye Yong was naturally grateful to Shang Huaili for giving him such face. Although it was inconvenient for Shang Huaili to meet him in the Gongyuan, he still took another thirty thousand taels of silver and sent it directly to Shang Huaili's house.
Therefore, Ye Yong waited for the day when the results were released. By then, his family member would be the top one in the provincial examination. Not only would his family's inheritance be improved by one or two, but he would also be able to show his face in front of his colleagues. After all, , although this is not the number one scholar appointed by the emperor, but he is also the number one scholar in the provincial examination.
But everything is afraid of accidents. This is not a safe thing. When copying the directory, something unexpected happened.
Looking at the list of names submitted by the copy officer, Shang Huaili was dumbfounded. Didn't he already name Ye Mao? What the hell is this Shen Tang? Is it a copying error or is it because of his officials? Did he do something under his nose?
Shang Huaili did not dare to neglect, even if he asked someone to take the test paper of the first name.
The deputy examiner only thought that Shang Huaili wanted to read the first-place article again, and didn't think much about it. He even complimented him and said, "I don't know how many blessings this Shen Tang has had, but he was selected by the Lord." First place, and also personally commented on his article, if I let him know, I don't know how grateful I would be to you."
Yes, in order to win the first place in this examination paper, Shang Huaili was naturally not stingy with his words and directly praised the articles and poems in the examination paper into a flower.
When he got the first-place test paper, Shang Huaili stared at it. This test paper was indeed the one he selected. The poems and articles in it were all correct. In the second policy question, the agreed words were also missing. Wrong, but why is Suizhou Shen Tang’s name written on the front of the volume?
What the hell is going on?
Shang Huaili, who had a big head, was almost dumbfounded. After a long while, he came back to his senses and continued to look at the rankings. But he saw Ye Mao's name written clearly on the fifth place.
After he read Ye Mao's test paper again, he finally discovered that what happened this time was indeed wrong. He didn't know whether Ye Yong passed the wrong message or Ye Mao heard it wrong. After the second policy question, It clearly says 'Si, Yue Hui is the ultimate'.
A "Yue Hui Zhi" and a "Yue Hui Zhi" led to the current situation that made him dumbfounded.
However, as of now, things cannot be changed. Whether it is a coincidence or a mistake, Shen Tang's transparency cannot be changed.
Looking at the furious Ye Yong, Shang Huaili smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Ye, I will return all the money, but I am really not to blame for what happened this time. What you and I agreed was to benefit from it. Who knew that "nephew" was actually written with another word?"
"And, coincidentally, someone else actually wrote these four words, and the article turned out to be equally excellent. You think, can you blame me for this?"
Ye Yong was dumbfounded when he heard what Shang Huaili said. Of course he knew that Shang Huaili would not deceive him about this matter. After all, it would not do any good to Shang Huaili, but he also Unexpectedly, such a coincidence and error would occur.
At this moment, he just remembered that when he was explaining to Ye Mao, he had just mentioned this matter. After saying these words, a colleague happened to visit, but he never had time to write. After that, he confirmed with Ye Mao several times. , Ye Mao responded confidently whether he remembered these words.
But, who could have imagined that it would turn out like this?
In the end, Ye Yong walked away with a cold face. After all, the matter had been settled and there was nothing he could do to change the situation.
The only thing he can do is, if there is a chance in the future, he will deal with the boy who took advantage of him and let him know that this title should belong to his family. Besides, what else can he do? Can he change his ranking?
?Don’t say it’s him, no one has the right to change it now.
At the entrance of the Gongyuan, red notices were carefully pasted up, and then, all the officials came swarming towards them.
"Ah, I got it, I got it!"
"I am the thirteenth, and I also won."
"Impossible, how could it be without me..."
"This is fake..."
When the results were announced, there was naturally a mixture of joy and sadness! Naturally, I was overjoyed to be able to apply for the high school title. Even if the ranking was not what I wanted, there was still a chance for the palace examination. Therefore, as long as I could win, it would be a great joy.
Those who fail will naturally be miserable and cry bitterly. If they fail this time, they will have to wait three years to take the exam again. How many three years can there be in life?
Qian Hong didn't bother to pay attention to the crowd of people who were sad and happy. He took advantage of his physical strength and squeezed directly to the front of the crowd. Looking around, the first thing he saw was Shen Tang's name at the top.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart, checked word by word, and finally confirmed that the person at the top of the list was none other than his own master.
"Hahaha, my master won the first place!"
"My master is Suizhou Jieyuan Shen Tang, and now he has won another dollar..."
While roaring with ecstasy, Qian Hong pushed aside the crowded crowd, took long strides, and headed home as quickly as possible.
At home, Shen Tang had breakfast and was sipping tea under Lian'er's wait. Liu Xiangling and Liu Xiangling were also accompanying them. However, compared to Shen Tang's calmness, their faces were a bit anxious, and even more so.
From time to time he looked out the door.
Two little girls, Yun'er and Zhu'er, were sent to the door to wait for the news. They only waited for Qian Hong to return and know the result as soon as possible.
"I'm so happy, I'm so happy, I won the top spot!"
Suddenly, a shocking voice suddenly came, which was also mixed with the screams of two girls.
The two girls could not sit still, so they immediately stood up and walked quickly towards the door, while Shen Tang was also stunned.
"I won the first prize?"
This is definitely an unexpected surprise!
According to Shen Tang's thinking, although his answers to questions are good and even among the top, he is not sure about getting the top spot. After all, in addition to the article, getting the top spot also requires a bit of luck.
.
Naturally, Shen Tang would not have expected how lucky he was. With Ye Yong's assist, he was directly assigned the first place by Shang Huaili.
Standing up, Shen Tang also walked out of the house. However, as soon as he walked out of the house, he saw the two girls with ecstatic faces, and several girls chasing Qian Hong.
"Husband!"
"Shen Lang!"
In the ecstasy, the two girls hugged Shen Tang directly and pressed their moist lips on Shen Tang's face, regardless of who else was on the list.
"Husband, you have won the first prize!"
"That's right, if you get the first place in Shen Lang's palace examination, you will win three yuan in a row! By then, your reputation will be spread all over the world."
"That is, in the entire Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years, no one can compare with our husband-in-law. My husband-in-law is the first person in the scientific examination of the Song Dynasty."
