Chapter Ninety-Seven: Ranked First
In fact, it is difficult to go out with Fang Jifan, but it is difficult for Ouyang Zhi, Liu Wenshan and Jiang Chen, especially to show their faces in this public, it does require great courage, so the three of them lowered their heads and followed behind Fang Jifan, like children who made mistakes.
"Hello, Fang Xian's nephew......"
At this time, two people came out of the crowd, both of them were thin and tall, with pale faces, and there were some signs of malnutrition, but at this moment, there was still a slight red light on their faces, and the spring breeze was blowing.
Isn't this Shou Ning Hou and Jian Changbo?
Fang Jifan also smiled and waved at them: "I've seen two uncles, how are you two uncles, have you eaten?" ”
Zhang Yanling smiled, and when he heard his brother say, he would prepare a dustpan to load silver today, and he was going to make a fortune, he said with a smile: "I ate, I ate two bowls of porridge." ”
Zhang Heling glared at him and motioned him not to speak, before he smiled and said, "Has the virtuous nephew eaten?" ”
Fang Jifan said: "After eating, I also drank porridge, and I added a few chicken legs and a small suckling pig, but unfortunately I couldn't eat so much, and I lost the rest." ”
Zhang Yanling swallowed his saliva and began to salivate.
Zhang Heling was upright and severely criticized Fang Jifan: "Eating like this is unhealthy and unhealthy." ”
"Oh." Fang Jifan's jaw.
"Look at the list, look at the list, as the uncle of the country, I also have to pay attention to our Daming Talent Ceremony, virtuous nephew, please."
Fang Jifan said with a smile: "The same is true for the little nephew, the little nephew also cares about my handsome and talented son of the Ming Dynasty, the two uncles will invite you first." ”
"You're welcome, nephew, it's better for you to invite first."
Fang Jifan felt bored, so he put his hands behind his back, and really invited first, but when he got to the bottom of the list, he found that Tang Yin, Xu Jingren and others were also clustered on the other side, Tang Yin saw Fang Jifan, and felt that his bones hurt a little, but he couldn't afford to provoke it, so he had to pretend not to see Fang Jifan.
Fang Jifan just smiled and didn't make a sound.
Countless people on this list are gossiping, lively, and countless people are full of expectations, but more people have almost seen the results, and in terms of gambling alone, Tang Yin is sure to win.
Finally, when the auspicious time came, a gong sounded, and someone sang in high province: "Zhang Bang is red." ”
The so-called red, in fact, is that this list is red, which means festive.
Subsequently, the middle gate of the Gongyuan was opened, and a scholar led the servants out.
Outside the noisy Gongyuan, it suddenly fell silent.
Thousands of heads were focused on the position of the list at the moment, and many people held their breath and their eyes straightened.
As soon as this list was released, the person on the list was famous, and since then the carp jumped over the dragon gate, soared into the sky, and has since become a person on the list.
And those who are famous in Sun Mountain, ten years of cold windows, are all in vain, like the water flowing eastward, all the efforts, and even life, are meaningless.
The first list was released.
Attached to the right hand position.
In the eyes of the ancients, the left is noble and the right is light, and this list is posted on the right, and they are often those who are ranked relatively backward.
Dozens of names were listed, and countless people began to frantically search for their names, and finally, a crying voice broke out in the crowd: "I...... I got ......"
The voice was choked, it seemed that even he couldn't believe it, although he was in the back, now he was in the middle, and he was only a tribute student, only after passing the palace test, he could become an official jinshi, however, this was already a preparatory jinshi, because he was backward in the ranking, he could only rank in the top three, in fact, he had no future.
But even if he is only a top three in the future, it is also a high school, and a jinshi is a jinshi, which means that he will soon be awarded an official, and at worst, he is also the head of a county, and he is a real official.
"I also got ......"
"I'm in!"
The uncontrollable voices of excitement rose and fell one after another.
Many hugged their heads and cried, and some laughed maniacally.
Fang Jifan suddenly felt that this scene was the same as congratulating a certain president in the previous life...... It's fun.
But at this time, he was also quite nervous, after all, the three protégés had been eating and drinking with him for so long, if he didn't hit, wouldn't he be dead?
Fortunately, Fang Jifan is still very confident in his three protégés.
Eight strands of this thing, is a huge pit, since ancient times, how many talented people are extremely smart, and they are still famous in Sun Mountain? Among the four great talents in Jiangnan, even if Tang Yin in history throws away the factor of cheating, he is actually not included in the first rank, as for the other three so-called Jiangnan talents, such as Zhu Yunming, who is known as Zhu Zhishan, even took the township test five times, participated in the meeting test seven times, and all of them fell to Sun Shan. and then there is Wen Zhengming, who has tried and failed repeatedly, and finally relied on his father's shadow to reluctantly become an official.
In the end, Xu Zhenqing finally won the Jinshi when he was close to forty years old, but he was not among the best, and died within a few years.
Here Fang Jifan has to praise Emperor Taizu Gao, the eight-strand text he customized is simply a talented nemesis, no matter how talented a person is, even if he is extremely smart, he has to follow the cumbersome rules to solve the problem, undertake the topic, start the shares, and two shares...... Each paragraph needs to be formatted and ruled, no more words, no less words, and rhyme, not only that, but you also have to finish the test paper in one day.
And even if it's done, it's just barely passing, and in just a few hours, your essay has to enter the examiner's eyes.
You must know that the ancients wrote poems and lyrics, all of which need to be scrutinized and polished, don't look at the talent of everyone, but it is by no means a casual chant of eternal sentences, before the poetry is published, it needs to be deleted, deleted and modified, and every word must be pondered.
And Bagu, in fact, is talking nonsense, your nonsense still has to make sense, it has to meet the norms, and it has to contain the truth of the sage, I'm sorry, there is not much time, if you let people write an eight-strand essay for ten days and half a month, I'm afraid that everyone can write a splendid article if they stand under the list, but in less than a day, complete this operation, and want people to applaud, I'm sorry, everyone here is spicy chicken, including Tang Yin.
My three protégés have done these questions for half a year, and they don't know how many times they have racked their brains to practice this article for the imperial examination, and everyone has dozens of ways to solve the problem in their stomachs, and even every word, they have scrutinized dozens or hundreds of times, what is this, this is the advantage, the incomparable advantage!
Why did ancient scholars like to rhyme the most? This is because, if you can bet on the question, you are an usually inconspicuous person, and you also have the qualifications to be able to win the title of the gold list. Fang Jifan thinks that although the three protégés are honest, they can still show off their talents under poverty and without the guidance of famous teachers, plus in the past six months, in the training of the Fang family, their strength is definitely not bad, and they have practiced this article countless times in advance.
To put it very politely, what a bullshit talent, in front of his three protégés, Da Luo Jinxian is here, and you have to take a break.
When the list is released, there will always be cheers one after another.
And those who are temporarily nameless on the list are even more anxious, and Ouyang Zhi and the three of them can't help but be anxious when they see that they have posted six or seven lists in a row, but they are all nameless on the list.
As for the Zhang brothers, they swallowed their saliva, although they knew that they would win this time, they still couldn't help but be a little nervous.
When the fifth list was posted, a name appeared in front of Fang Jifan's eyes - Jiang Chen......
Jiang Chen...... 8th place......
Call......
Someone obviously saw Jiang Chen's name, and someone couldn't help but gasp.
This party is a big loser, and sure enough, there are still a few brushes, and it turned out to be his protégé, who will try eighth in high school.
This ranking is already excellent, as long as the palace test does not make a big mistake, the second-class jinshi who is nine out of ten will shine on the lintel.
There is one last list left.
Tang Yin still seems calm, Xu Jing is already on the list, twenty-seventh, this ranking, not too good, not too bad, the second class is quite promising, but it still needs to be refueled in the palace exam.
Xu Jing was already happy, but he was not in a hurry to celebrate, because now everyone was waiting for the last list.
In fact, by this time, many people who were unknown on the list were already disheartened, after all, there would only be three names on the first list, and obviously, their hopes were slim.
The last list was immediately posted.
Fang Jifan held his breath......
1st Place...... Huiyuan: Ouyang Zhi......
It's Ouyang Zhi......
2nd Place...... Liu Wenshan......
All of a sudden, the crowd erupted in screams.
3rd place...... Tang Yin......
