After the rumors spread, Jun Yian was waiting for Gu Qiancheng to come to his door, but three days had passed and Gu Qiancheng had not seen any action, which made Jun Yian very puzzled.
"Is it possible that Gu Qiancheng didn't hear the rumors?" Jun Yian once suspected that the servants were cheating on her, but after sending someone to investigate, it was not the case.
The rumors were spreading like wildfire, and Gu Qiancheng had no reason not to know.
"What does Gu Qiancheng mean? Are you afraid?"
"I don't believe you can hide for the rest of your life."
Gu Qiancheng didn't come forward, so Jun Yian continued to send people to publicize it, making sure to make the matter loud enough to attract everyone's attention.
But the results were minimal. No matter how many people she sent out, the news could not spread, and it was not as smooth as the first time.
Jun Yian was very puzzled and didn't understand why.
However, Jun Yian didn't know that Gu Qiancheng could see clearly. After all, Jun Yian had just arrived in the capital, and she couldn't figure out how deep the water in the capital was. Without the help of King Zhao, she would just ask her servants to tell her every day.
It's no use.
The reason why King Zhao didn't take action this time was not because he wanted to let Gu Qiancheng go or because he was afraid. It was because the scientific examination list came out.
In the face of the imperial examination, everything had to give way. King Zhao did not want to offend the old emperor anymore, so he decisively did not get involved anymore, but waited for the imperial examination to be over before taking action.
This day is the day when the imperial court releases the list. Countless people are already crowded in front of the list. When they see the officials coming with the red list, everyone is nervous and looking forward to it.
"Come out, come out."
"I wonder if I'm successful?"
“I wonder who’s at the top of the list this year?”
"Quick, stop arguing, the official is posting the list."
…
The officials understood the excitement of the candidates very well. After applying a layer of paste, they immediately posted the red list. From top to bottom, the names were arranged one by one.
"Topping the list is...Topping the list is..."
Someone shouted excitedly for a long time, but the name was never shouted out.
Someone else answered for him: "Feng Sijin! It's Feng Sijin."
"The top one is Feng Sijin, the eldest son of the Feng family."
"Sure enough, no one cheated. According to the eldest son's talent, he must be at the top of the list."
"Xian Yin layman's review is absolutely fair, so everyone can rest assured."
I don't know who said something, but it actually attracted the approval of most students. They all said that this imperial examination was absolutely fair and there was no suspicion of fraud. The voice was so loud that even Gu Qiancheng, who was sitting in the teahouse, heard it.
Gu Qiancheng couldn't understand. Feng Sijin took first place. Does that mean the imperial examination was fair?
However, this does not prevent Gu Qiancheng from congratulating Feng Sijin, "You are really expected to win the first place. I will drink tea instead of wine and give you a toast."
"Finally, I lived up to my expectations." Feng Sijin was also very happy to get the top spot, because...
This is what Gu Qiancheng wants.
Gu Qiancheng once said that I wish him the best. Therefore, he was very concerned about this result. He went to Gu's house early in the morning to pick up Gu Qiancheng and came with him to wait for the ranking.
Now, he finally lived up to Gu Qiancheng's expectations.
The tea cups touched lightly and made a crisp sound. Gu Qiancheng and Feng Sijin both drank it in one gulp. Jing Yan looked at it and couldn't help but joked: "Why, you congratulate Sijin for ranking first in the exam, but I don't need to congratulate him for ranking second."
?”
"Of course, congratulations to you too, and I wish you good results in the imperial examination." Gu Qiancheng raised his glass, again using tea instead of wine.
Jing Yan smiled and said: "I want to get good results in the palace examination, but I will be the number one scholar."
After saying that, he looked at Feng Sijin specifically, which made Feng Sijin laugh. "You can take the test if you want. I'll see what I do."
He doesn't care about first place, second place, or whether he gets the top prize in the exam. He just cares about the results this time. As long as he is at the top this time, he will be satisfied.
Feng Sijin came first, Jing Yan came second, and no surprise, Jiao Xiangdi came third.
Jiao Xiangdi came to see the list in person today and saw that there was a name between him and Feng Sijin. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, "This is the first time that our names are so far apart. I always felt that I was being suppressed by you."
I'm very angry down there. This time there's an extra person in the middle, and I actually find that it's better to be pinned down by you. I really have a tendency to be abused."
After reading the list, even Jiao Xiangdi, who was third in high school, was not happy.
He can already imagine how angry his father will be when he returns home...
It doesn't matter if he fails Feng Sijin's exam, but now there is another Jing Yan, and he is simply not given a way to survive!
Jiao Xiangdi didn't want to go back and face his father's anger, so he ran to find Qin Jiyan...
After the scientific examination list is out, the next step is the palace examination.
Feng Sijin and Jing Yan didn't care about their rankings, and they had no worries about participating in the palace examination. Jiao Xiangdi felt miserable, and Master Jiao said: "You can't pass the exam, Feng Sijin, I admit it, I can't compare to Feng Sijin."
I'm a beautiful man. But... if you can't even pass the exam for Jingyan, then don't come back. I don't have a son as incompetent as you."
Mr. Jiao couldn't even pronounce the word "Laozi", which shows how angry he is.
Jiao Xiangdi was so depressed that he scolded Qin Jiyan for a long time: He knew that he cared about these false reputations, but he didn't know to ask Xian Yin to rank him better in advance!
With Lord Jiao's expectations, Jiao Xiangdi stepped into the main hall as if he was rushing to the battlefield, and sat in a row with Feng Sijin and Jing Yan who looked relaxed. They were so conspicuous that the old emperor couldn't help but take a second look...
On the day of the palace examination, everyone in the capital was focused on the palace examination. There was nothing more important than the palace examination at this time. Gu Qiancheng chose this day to go to the Yaoyuan to find Jun Yian.
Well, Gu Qiancheng admitted that she did it on purpose.
Didn't Jun Yian want to make it known to the whole city? She just came to the medicine garden on a day when no one in the capital cared to pay attention, and she choked Jun Yian to death.
Facts have proved that Gu Qiancheng has a very accurate grasp of the thoughts of a willful little girl like Jun Yian. Jun Yian was not happy at all when he heard that Gu Qiancheng came to see her today.
She did want to use the stroke medicine to force Gu Qiancheng to hand over the ferret, or tell the whereabouts of the golden holy fruit, but more importantly, she wanted to use this to humiliate Gu Qiancheng and make her lose face.
What does it mean that Gu Qiancheng came to see her on the day of the imperial examination?
"No, no, I don't see. Tell Gu Qiancheng to ask her to come tomorrow." Jun Yian said willfully. He hesitated and persuaded: "Miss, if you don't see Miss Gu today, Beijing will definitely come tomorrow."
The news spread that Miss Gu personally came to the medicine garden to ask for medicine, but you avoided seeing her. Then Miss Gu will have a reason not to come to ask for medicine."
After all, Gu Qiancheng didn't really want any stroke medicine. This medicine was useless to Gu Qiancheng, and it didn't matter whether she wanted it or not. The reason why she came was just to make a filial gesture.
