Jun Yian didn't want to see Gu Qiancheng today, but he didn't want Gu Qiancheng to use this as an excuse to push the matter away, so he said, "Let Gu Qiancheng bring the ferret to see me."
The servant immediately went out to send a message, but soon came back with uneasiness: "Miss, Gu Qiancheng has brought a ferret." It was obvious that Gu Qiancheng came well prepared.
Jun Yian was very angry, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved. If he could get the ferret, it would be okay not to embarrass Gu Qiancheng. "Ask her to give me the ferret, and I will give her the medicine."
The servant smiled bitterly, "Miss, Miss Gu said, if you want a ferret, please forgive her for not obeying your order. She said before that the ferret is not hers, but the young master of the Feng family. Miss, do you want a ferret?"
, you have to ask the Feng family for it."
"Why should the Feng family give me a ferret?" Jun Yian yelled angrily.
The servant was obedient and buried his head lower.
Jun Yian knew that it was useless to get angry at his subordinates, so he took a deep breath and said, "Go tell Gu Qiancheng that I only want ferrets."
The servant went out to deliver the message, and after a while he brought Gu Qiancheng's opinion: "It can't be done!"
"Then let her go." Jun Yian became angry.
The servant conveyed Jun Yian's words to Gu Qiancheng intact, and signaled that Gu Qiancheng could leave.
"I said, it can't be done." Gu Qiancheng replied, then stood at the door of the medicine garden with the little ferret in his arms.
"Miss Gu, what do you mean?" The servant of Yaoyuan had a bad feeling.
Gu Qiancheng replied with a good temper: "Please give me medicine! Isn't this what your lady wants? You asked me to come to the medicine garden in person to ask for medicine, and now I'm here."
"If you act like this, my lady won't give you the medicine." Go away quickly, don't stand here and obstruct people's eyes.
"Wherever gold and sincerity comes, gold and stone will open up. I believe Miss Jun will be moved by me."
No matter what the servants in the medicine garden said, Gu Qiancheng refused to leave and stood there holding the little ferret like a wooden stake.
The servants tried to persuade her for a long time but had no effect, so they had to go back and tell Jun Yian.
"Bitter meat plan?" Jun Yian sneered and said disdainfully: "Let her stand. It's not winter or summer, and she won't die even if she stands for three to five hours. Besides, everyone in the capital is paying attention to the palace examination now, who can
Just ignore her."
With Jun Yian's words, Yaoyuan's servants no longer cared about Gu Qiancheng and let her stand there.
Just as Jun Yian said, it's neither winter nor summer. Gu Qiancheng stood outside for three to five hours and just looked at him in embarrassment. He was definitely not miserable. He didn't want to gain sympathy from others.
a little.
Everyone couldn't figure out what Gu Qiancheng was going to do. Their persuasion was useless and they could only let her stand.
In the palace, after hearing the sound of the drum, the candidates who participated in the palace examination put down their pens one by one, left in order, and went outside to wait for the results of the palace examination.
Although being able to take part in the palace examination means that you will definitely win the exam, there is a big difference between the second-class and third-class grades. If you pass the third-class title, you are from the same background as a Jinshi. If you are the best in your life, you will be a third-grade official.
"God bless, God bless, I will definitely be in the second class."
While waiting for their results, many students were muttering that even if they were barely able to hold on, they still looked nervous and looked livid.
Feng Sijin and Jing Yan, who looked relaxed, seemed particularly awkward among the group of people. Jiao Xiangdi glared at Feng Sijin more than once.
Every time he saw Feng Sijin, he had the idea of cutting him into pieces. Children like Feng Sijin from other families were born to attack others, and such people should not exist!
Time passed by, and a group of ministers headed by Xian Hermit were scrutinizing the papers very carefully, even if they were in a hurry, for fear of any accidents.
After finishing the examination, the rankings began. There is not much controversy about the results of the first and second classes. Those who are in the top two are all superior in talent and knowledge. There is not much controversy.
However, there was a dispute over the rankings.
The first place in the second class is also a must-win position. Several adults fought for a long time and finally decided on a scholar from the Wen family of Zhang County. The legitimate son of the Kong family ranked second in the second class.
It's not that the direct son of the Confucius family can't learn well, but...
The Kong family will definitely not become officials in the court. Giving him a good ranking is a waste. It is better to give it to people who need it more.
Deciding on the second place first will make it easier to discuss later, and the ranking will be decided quickly.
As for the top three?
Everyone has already made a decision, but they can't sort out the three positions.
"Jiangnan Jingyan deserves to be the top scholar."
"Feng Sijin in the capital should be number one."
"Beijing Jiao Xiang Di Dang takes the top spot."
…
There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Everyone has different preferences. Unless the articles are very different, it is really difficult to distinguish the same excellent article from a group of people.
Master Feng knows his son's attitude and doesn't care at all whether he is the number one scholar or not, but...
My son has been number one since he was a child, so it would be a good thing if he could win the number one prize.
Mr. Jiao heard many old gentlemen say that his son should be ranked first, and his mustache was raised. From time to time, he would give Mr. Feng a look of disdain.
That arrogant look makes people's hands itch.
Everyone couldn't stop arguing, and the quarrel reached the imperial court.
The old emperor knew what these people were arguing about, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "As long as it's the first class, what's the importance of ranking?"
All the literati couldn't agree with this.
The old emperor didn't understand...
Since ancient times, literati have looked down upon each other, so this ranking is of course important.
Even though he said this, the old emperor still took out his imperial pen and designated him as the top scholar: "Feng Sijin has outstanding literary talent, and his mastery of pavilion style has won my heart. He is the number one scholar."
"Jiao Xiangdi's and Jing Yan's articles are equally good. I remember that Jing Yan is from Jiangnan and has a good appearance, so I'll point him to Tanhua." The old emperor waved his hand, and the ranking of the first class was decided.
Master Jiao's good mood disappeared when he heard that his son was once again being suppressed by Feng Sijin.
It was clearly said that his son had good literary talent and should be ranked first, so why was he ranked second?
Did the old Jiao family have a fate with No. 2?
Mr. Jiao was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, but His Majesty had decreed it, so what else could he say?
After the palace examination, the rankings were sung on the spot. First, the second-class ranking was reported, and then the first-class ranking was reported. As for the third-class ranking?
If there are too many people, there is no need to report. If your name is not in the top two, you will be the top three.
Those who heard the name shouted joyfully, but those who did not hear the name were expectant and nervous. They hoped that their name would be called next, but they also hoped that their name would be called last.
The further to the back, the higher the ranking!
Roll call is a strenuous task. The little eunuch read it in one breath until his voice became hoarse at the end. He finally finished reading the list of top two.
"A total of forty-eight people were selected from the second class." More than 200 people participated in the palace examination, but only more than 40 people entered the second class, and there were only three in the first class. It can be seen that most of them were in the third class.
I didn't hear my name, so I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed, but then I thought about it, even if they won the top three, they were still better than those who failed.
As for Yijia?
Haha, they don't dare to think...
A message to readers: One-sentence theater
Jiao Xiangdi: Author, get out of here and I promise not to beat you to death.
A Cai: Are you sure?!
Jiao Xiangdi: Feng Sijin is the number one scholar because of his literary talent; Jing Yan is the number one scholar because of his good looks. What about me? If I don’t get the number one scholar, it’s fine. If I get the second place, it’s like I’m ugly. Do you think you’re jealous of me?
To be honest, I told you not to beat you to death!
