Tangning has very rich experience in certain matters.
When you are hated by many people, it is best not to appear in front of them.
Putting himself in their shoes, if he had put all his wealth on Gu Bai and Cui Lang, even losing the property deed and wife's book, he would hate them so much.
Gamblers are scary, and gamblers who lose their sights are even scarier. Kicking them to vent their anger is a light thing, but he already reminded the three of them when he left just now. That place is close to Gongyuan, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Something went wrong.
Xiao Jue counted on his fingers, looked at him, and asked: "What do you think if you are the number one scholar in our imperial examination?"
If Xiao Juedian tried to predict that he would be the top pick, Tang Ning estimated that he would lose even his underpants.
The palace examination generally only tests three policy questions, sometimes two, because it only lasts half a day, not enough time to think about it, and the overall difficulty is much greater than that of the state and provincial examinations.
His two most advantageous games were removed, which in turn made the decision-making more difficult. The result is self-evident. If there was an option to buy himself a loss, Tangning would definitely buy it.
He looked at Xiao Jue and said, "You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible."
On the list just now, Tang Ning also saw Xiao Jue's name. Although it was at the bottom of the B list, he still passed the exam.
Except for the unique Gu Bai, which was already considered a good result among the dandies in the capital, Tang Ning did not see Tang Zhao's name on the list, and Liu Jun, Mu Yu and others were also missing from the list.
Of course, this will not have much impact on their future. Regardless of whether they can pass the exam or not, Xiao Jue will be on duty in the palace in a few months.
There were countless people in the capital waiting for the provincial examination results. When Tang Ning and Xiao Jue took the carriage back, countless fast horses passed by their carriage.
Royal Palace.
A guard in silver armor rode his horse into the palace. When he reached a certain step, he simply turned over and dismounted, and ran towards the palace in front of him.
"Your Majesty, the provincial examination results have been announced!"
Not long after, in the palace, Emperor Chen held a brochure in his hand, and what was written on the brochure were the tributes recruited for this provincial examination.
The silver-armored guard knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "This provincial examination has recorded a total of 212 tributes. Please take a look at it!"
"Okay." Chen Huang smiled, opened the book, glanced at it, and smiled again: "I did not misjudge the person who ranked first in the provincial examination. The kid from the Gu family has always been very good; ha, this kid finally didn't
Embarrassing the Xiao family..."
Wei Jian came up, holding a brochure in his hand, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is a brochure from Grand Scholar Li."
Bachelor Li is the chief examiner of this provincial examination, and what he said must be talking about the specific situation of this provincial examination.
Chen Huang read the list again, then opened another envelope and read it carefully.
After taking a glance, he said in surprise: "He got all the answers right in the first test. Others all focused on something, but he was good, there was no subject that he didn't focus on..."
As he spoke, a look of reminiscence appeared on his face, and he sighed: "I remember those days..."
Wei Jian raised his head, looked at him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I think that Little Miracle Doctor Tang is different from Master Xiao Fang."
"His knowledge is so profound that his poems and essays are highly praised by all the examiners. Although his policy essays are mediocre, they are praised as "real strategies" by several examiners..." Chen Huang's eyes moved to the folding paper in his hand and said: "He has been in the family since he was a child.
It's a bit unbelievable that I have been able to achieve this point despite having such a difficult life and no famous teacher to guide me. If my princes can be half as diligent as him, I can take a break."
Wei Jian smiled and said, "Old slave, congratulations to Your Majesty for getting another talented person."
Chen Huang glanced at him and said, "You are the best at talking..."
After the announcement of the provincial examination results, within a very short period of time, the capital was in a state of excitement.
"The list is made, the list is made!"
"How's it going? Who's number one? Gu Bai or Cui Lang?"
"No, it's someone named Tang, I think her name is Tang Ning!"
"What, my ten taels of silver just flew away..."
"What do the people named Gu and Cui do for a living? Aren't they the two most promising!"
…
Most people don't care about who is number one. What they care about is just the release of the rankings. As people in the capital, they naturally have to pay attention to every major event in the country all the time.
Of course, a small number of people still care about who is ranked first, because if Tangning's name is listed first, they will lose a lot of money. However, when they curse in the street, they are criticizing Gu Bai and Cui Lang...
Ministry of Rites.
Liu Feng, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, had already come out of the Gongyuan and stood beside Tang Huai, the Minister of Rites. He sighed and said: "His first two examination papers can't find any flaws, which is enough to make up for his lackluster policy. There is no flaw at all."
A place where you can make a fuss."
Tang Huai lowered his head to deal with the affairs and did not speak. Liu Feng thought for a while and said: "However, there is only policy theory above the palace examination, but based on the level of policy theory, he will not be able to enter the first class. At most, he will be ranked in the second class. This time
The palace examination is handled by the Ministry of Etiquette, so you can rest assured..."
Tang Huai put down his pen and asked casually: "How did Zhao'er do in the exam?"
The expression on Liu Feng's face was a little embarrassing and he said: "Mr. Tang Zhao, he is not on the list."
In the Tang Mansion, Tang Qi's beard was trembling with anger, he pointed at Tang Zhao and said angrily: "Look at you, apart from getting into trouble and embarrassing the Tang family, what else do you know!"
Tang Zhao had also just learned about the announcement of the results. He had an unlucky look on his face and lowered his head without saying a word, but he felt relaxed in his heart. The damn imperial examination was finally over. If he failed in the provincial examination, wouldn't it mean that he didn't even have to participate in the palace examination.
In other words, from now on, he is free...
Seeing his unrepentant look, Tang Qi became even more angry, pointed at him, shook his head and said, "You, you are not even as good as Xiao Jue, what else do you think you can do?"
A graceful voice passed by the courtyard gate, and he looked inside, then quietly slipped into another courtyard.
She looked at the woman standing in the yard and said happily: "Sister-in-law, he won the first place in the provincial examination this time, and I won a lot of money..."
…
The food on the Zhong Mansion's dinner table today was particularly sumptuous. Tangning took a bite of the food and saw that her father-in-law's face turned red after drinking, and she and her third uncle clinked glasses.
His mother-in-law didn't allow him to drink too much in the past, but today she made an exception and had already poured wine for him several times in person.
Even Xiaoyi and Xiaoru took a sip. They never drank. After taking a small sip, their faces turned red and their pretty faces glowed, making them look more and more charming.
Tang Yaoji had already drank half of the bottle, but she didn't feel any bright and moving at all.
She was obviously a little drunk, and her drinking posture was very bold. She put one foot on the chair and put her wrist on her knee. She looked at Tang Ning and asked, "When is the imperial examination? Do you want to bet on you to win the first prize?"
She wants to make up for her losses when she loses, and wants to win again when she wins. This is a typical gambler's mentality. This time she spent all her wealth and made a lot of money. However, if she really dared to bet on herself as the top pick, she would probably have to pay for it.
Return to before liberation overnight.
Tang Ning shook her head and said, "Forget it. I'll just give it up. I'm really not sure about the top spot in the exam."
Tang Yaojiao thought for a while, looked at him, and asked, "Do you want to bet secretly by yourself?"
"Do I look like the kind of person who eats alone?" Tangning looked at her and said, "If I wanted to bet secretly by myself, I wouldn't have told you last time."
"Last time it was you who had no money." Fairy Tang exposed him mercilessly.
There was no way to continue chatting with her, and she was almost done eating. Tangning put down her chopsticks, stood up, and walked towards the yard.
Li Tianlan walked in from outside, looked at him and said, "Congratulations."
Tang Yaojing followed Tang Ning out of the house and saw Li Tianlan standing in the yard. After being stunned for a moment, she put one hand on her hips and pointed at her with the other, and said loudly: "Hey, Li Bolan, do you dare to talk to me?"
