The people below the list who are waiting for the results of the imperial examination have already exploded. Gu Bai, Cui Lang, and Shen Jian, who are the most vocal, are ranked second. I don't know how many people have lost their fortunes.
There were only two people on the first-class list. Tang Ning was surprised. Where did Xiao Jue and Young Master Xiao come from?
In view of Tang Ning's high odds, a few people bet money on him, thinking of giving him a try. Now they got it right, but who would have thought that the second on the list is actually Mr. Xiao, and he is the one on the list.
There is only first and second, not third!
This is unprecedented in the history of previous imperial examinations.
Who the hell could guess this?
Compared with the rioting common people, the candidates at the bottom of the list were much quieter.
After the palace examination list was revealed, they already understood why the list was arranged this way, why there were only two people in the first class, and why Tangning and Xiao Jue, who were both off topic, were ranked in the first class.
Because they were right, and except for them, all the candidates were severely slapped in the face by the facts.
Cui Lang sighed and said, "It's not unfair to lose."
Even the court and His Majesty were slapped hard, so what could they say?
Gu Bai also sighed long and long: "I hope there will still be work to compile the book."
He looked at Cui Lang and the others and said, "Let's go."
"Where to go?"
"Ping'an County Government."
…
At the Ping'an County Government Office, Tang Ning and Xiao Jue were drinking and chatting.
It was said that they were drinking and talking, but in fact they were two frustrated people getting together to drink. They were ranked at the bottom of the top three in the palace examination, so they can be regarded as brothers in distress.
In order not to be hit by Gu Bai, Cui Lang and others, the two of them simply did not look at the rankings. This was probably the first time that Tang Ning felt that he and Xiao Jue were the same.
Xiao Jue was already drunk. He took a bite of the chicken leg and said: "These cowards, what do the Sushen people have to be afraid of? They just fight with real swords and guns until they are convinced. How can the prairie people do it?"
Well, what’s wrong with being good at riding and shooting? Think about General Huo, General Wei, and General Li. Which one of them is not a good man with strong bones..."
Although Xiao Jue looks like a pretty boy, he is actually quite tough on the inside. This may be part of Jiangmen's character. Unfortunately, he can be tough on the inside, but not on the outside.
He raised his glass to Tang Ning and said, "To be honest, I admire you. I don't care about the imperial examination. You actually dare to tell the truth. For this reason, I give you a toast!"
Tangning clinked glasses with him and took a small sip.
The results of the imperial examination have come out, and his future path is probably clear.
The first three people in the palace examination, if nothing unexpected happens, will enter the Hanlin Academy. After several years of internship, their future will be unlimited.
Starting from the second-tier class, the treatment and grade will be slightly worse. Those ranked lower in the second-tier class will be sent outside the capital.
As for the top three, most people have to wait for the court to find a real vacancy. At the end of the top three, after the imperial examination, they can just wait at home honestly. As for how long to wait, it may be a year and a half, or it may be ten and a half years. The previous
The line is long.
Tang Ning probably won't leave Beijing, nor will he wait at home. After he takes the imperial examination, he still has to help the Imperial Hospital revise his books. I really don't know what he will do after he finishes revising his books.
Gu Bai and the other three walked in from outside the courtyard. Xiao Jue glanced at them, waved and said: "Shut up, you three. I'm not interested in which of you is the number one scholar. If you're here to drink, just sit down. If you're here to show off,
, just roll as far as you can..."
Cui Lang smiled bitterly and said: "We are not the number one scholar."
"What?" Xiao Jue was startled, with a smile on his face, and said, "Could it be that someone else picked your peach for you too?"
Cui Lang bowed his hand to Tang Ning and said, "The number one scholar is Brother Tang."
Xiao Jue's face darkened and he said, "Cui, that's not interesting. We know how we did in the exam. If Tangning can be the number one scholar, then I can also enter the first grade!"
"You are Yijia." Cui Lang looked at him and said: "This time, Yijia, there are only two of you."
Xiao Jue looked at him with a sneer, took off one of his shoes, held it in his hand, pointed at him and said: "Don't think that because your uncle is a court servant, I won't dare to slap you. If you continue to be so sarcastic, don't blame me for being rude.
!”
Gu Bai took a deep breath, stepped forward, and spoke slowly.
"Your Majesty summoned all the examiners into the palace early this morning."
"The situation on the grassland has undergone some changes. Among the Sushen tribes, the Wanyan tribe has risen and has the potential to unify the tribes. The alliance between Chen and Chu is inevitable."
"So, in the second step of the imperial examination, only you two are right."
"The list has just been posted at the entrance of Gongyuan. There are only two of you on the first-class list."
…
After Gu Bai finished speaking, he cupped his hands to Tang Ning and Xiao Jue and said, "Congratulations to you."
"Are you telling the truth?" Xiao Jue had already sobered up. Although he felt that it was impossible for Gu Bai to lie about this kind of thing, he still found it a bit unbelievable.
Although Tang Ning was very surprised, she did not doubt what Gu Bai said.
The rise of a certain Sushen tribe is a fact, but the imperial court doesn't know about it yet. The state of Chu is adjacent to Sushen, and they have been feuding for a long time. News will always come faster. I didn't expect that the imperial court would get the news in such a timely manner this time.
In other words, he made the right bet?
Xiao Jue still didn't believe it, so he walked out of the hospital and said, "No, I have to go and see for myself..."
Tangning also stood up and strode towards the yard next door.
Of course, this good news should be told to Xiaoru and Xiaoyi immediately.
He walked into the room and didn't see them, only Tang Yaoyao.
"How about them?"
Tang Yaoyao looked at him and said, "They are out."
Tangning didn't look at the list today, so she couldn't ask Xiaoru and Xiaoyi to help him look at the list.
Unexpectedly, the first person to share this matter with him was Tang Yaojing. Tang Ning looked at her and was about to speak, but he swallowed the words as they reached her lips.
This time, Fairy Tang didn't hold him in custody, and it seemed like the money she had taken out was quite a lot. I guess she would regret it and cry bitterly when she heard the news, right?
Although she has no breasts at all.
Tang Yaoyao looked at him and asked, "What do you want to say?"
The results of the palace examination have come out, and Fairy Tang will know about it sooner or later. She has to cry when she should. Tang Ning thought about it and decided to tell her.
He walked to Tang Yaoyao, pressed her shoulders and said, "Sit down first."
Tang Yaoyao was pinned down on the bed by him, opened his hand, and asked: "If you have anything to tell me, do you want to borrow money?"
Tangning took a deep breath, then looked at her and said, "I won the top prize."
Tang Yaoyao was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her palm and put it on his forehead, asking with concern: "What's wrong with you? Do you feel any discomfort?"
Tangning opened her hand and said, "It's true. Yesterday's news was wrong. The list has been posted at the gate of Gongyuan."
"Are you really not feeling uncomfortable?"
"No!"
…
Tang Yaoyao looked at him and finally believed it. She nodded and said, "Oh, I understand."
Tangning looked at her in a daze. What was her reaction?
Shouldn't she be beating her chest and regretting that she didn't bet on being the number one pick in the first place? Shouldn't her intestines be almost green with regret?
He thought about it and felt that it was normal. Tang Yaojing was a person who wanted to save face. Even if she secretly hid under the quilt and cried at night, she would not lose her composure in front of him.
"It's okay." Tangning patted her shoulder and comforted her, "What's our relationship? If you need money, just come to me. I'll support you first... and then I'll just deduct it from your profits."
Already."
Tang Yaoyao glanced at him and said nothing.
Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "By the way, who are you taking into custody, Gu Bai, Cui Lang, or Shen Jian?"
Whether it was Gu Bai, Cui Lang or Shen Jian, they actually made their Yaoyao's elbows turn outwards and waited for him!
Tang Yaoyao stood up, patted his shoulder and said, "Very good, you didn't disappoint me."
Tangning was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Tang Yaoyao looked at him and said calmly: "I'm keeping you."
Tangning was stunned for a while before asking in a trembling voice, "How much did you deposit?"
Tang Yaoyao thought for a while and said: "Not much, just the ones I won last time, I pushed them all out."
Tang Ning counted on her fingers. After last time, Tang Yaojing's net worth was probably around one hundred thousand taels, so she treated it as one hundred thousand taels. In this palace examination, he was not favored by others. The odds were higher than those in the provincial examination.
It was even taller when the time came, probably more than twice as high as Gu Bai, Cui, Lang, and Shen Jian put together. It looked like eight times...
What is one hundred thousand taels multiplied by eight times...
Tang Ning's legs softened and she sat on the bedside. After a long time, she looked up at Tang Yaoyao and said, "How about you raise me?"
