Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 148
In the evening, in the lobby on the second floor of the Judgment Court, the papers of ten boy test takers were hung out one by one. At present, they are still the papers copied by Yu Yu, not my own papers. The names are covered by the name slips, and there are numbers on the top of the papers.

More than [-] paper examiners read the ten papers carefully, and they will vote to select five papers from the ten papers, which will be shortlisted for the gongjushi of the boy's examination.

Many people stopped in front of the seventh paper to take a closer look. The news had already spread, and the deputy chief examiner Zhang Xian deliberately withheld the paper.

This made everyone full of interest in this paper, what kind of paper made Zhang Xian make such a dirty move.

Everyone kept whispering and exchanging their feelings with each other.

Zhang Xian stood at the door of the room, secretly looking proudly at the examiners in the lobby who were reviewing papers. Twelve of these examiners were from Changzhou County.

I have clearly told them that the seventh test paper is for Wu County students, and I believe they will put the honor and interests of Changzhou County first.

'snort!Zhang Ruoying thought she could really stop herself?He was too naive. '

Time passed slowly, and an hour later, the examiner conducted the final vote. According to the regulations, each person was issued a selection sheet with the serial numbers of the ten test papers on it, and they could tick off the five test papers that they thought were the best.

Including the chief examiner and the two deputy chief examiners have the same voting rights.

Not long after, 34 examiners, chief examiner Zhou Zhen, and two deputy chief examiners gathered in the lobby, each holding a numbered recommendation form in their hands.

Zhou Zhen said to everyone: "According to the usual practice, the last five candidates for the boy's test will be selected by everyone, and the ranking will be determined according to the number of votes. I hope that everyone will choose impartially and select the best young genius in Pingjiang Prefecture to go to the capital and the world." Talented people are fighting to get higher honors.”

A teaching assistant put a cardboard box on the table, Zhou Zhen stepped forward to cast the first vote, and everyone stepped forward to cast their recommendation slips one after another.

At this time, two teaching assistants brought a large wooden board, on which was pasted a piece of white paper with the serial numbers of the test papers written on it.

Three teaching assistants began to count 34 recommendation lists in front of all reviewers.

"Number two, number three, number five, number seven, number nine."

"Number one, number three, number four, number seven, number eight."

"Number Two, Number Four, Number Six, Number Seven, Number Nine."

Following the monotonous mechanical call of the teaching assistant, the numbers on the list were written down on the paper. Zhang Xian felt a chill running down his spine, unexpectedly, there was number seven on every recommendation list.

This result really made him a little annoyed. He turned his head and looked at a group of Changzhou County reviewers. Many people were also looking at him coldly, their eyes full of contempt and contempt.

Zhang Xian gritted his teeth with hatred, but there was nothing he could do.

At this time, the teaching assistant was already reporting the last ticket.

"Number three, number four, number six, number seven, number eight."

There was a burst of warm applause in the lobby, and Zhou Zhen announced loudly: "The seventh test paper got the most votes, all 34 votes, and it got 33 votes!"

Everyone laughed and turned to look at Zhang Xian, their eyes full of sarcasm. Everyone knew that the only person who didn't vote for No. [-] was the deputy examiner Zhang.

Zhang Xian blushed like a pig's liver, his hypocritical coat was torn to shreds, revealing his despicable essence, which he never expected, he made a big ugly face in front of everyone, it made him ashamed, he Unable to stay still any longer, he turned around and went back to his room in despair.

Zhang Ruoying sneered and said to Yue Qing: "This is a typical villain's heart and a gentleman's belly. He thinks that everyone else will be as despicable and shameless as him!"

Yue Qing smiled lightly, "This can be regarded as an anecdote about this year's imperial examination!"

The voting results came out, with 33 votes for the seventh, 23 for the second, 22 for the ninth, 21 for the third, and 21 for the sixth.

The most regrettable thing is No. [-], who got [-] votes and fell out by one vote.

Since both No. 21 and No. [-] had [-] votes, it was decided by Zhou Zhen, the chief examiner, No. [-] ranked fourth and No. [-] ranked fifth.

So far, all the results of the Pingjiang Mansion's solution test in the second year of Huangyou's reign have been released, and the examiner will report to the Pingjiang Mansion Office for approval and release the list.

In the morning of the next day, the square outside the entrance of the examination institute was crowded with people. More than [-] candidates and a large number of other people gathered in front of the square.

A big reason why countless people came to see the list is that the bets of Guanpudian are related to their vital interests.

Even though Dong Kun didn't want to watch the list, Fan Ning still pulled him over. In Fan Ning's words, escaping is not a good way, and the only way to boost morale is to know shame and then be brave.

"Why are they both here?"

Fan Ning frowned, and he suddenly spotted Ming Ren and Ming Li. These two men were selling a new book to the scholars. It seemed that the business was very hot, and many scholars rushed to buy their books.

Fan Ning was rather curious. At this moment, he saw Li Dashou walking with a book.

"What books are you selling?" Fanning asked with a smile.

Li Dashou smiled and handed the book to Fan Ning.

"Senior brother, you will know after looking at it, it's not bad!"

Fan Ning took the book, and when he saw the cover, he knew that the two were selling pirated books again. It didn't mean that the printing was rough, but the printing was exquisite, but he knew it was the work of the two brothers' joint printing workshop.

The wood carvings on the cover have formed their style. In the past few years, the two brothers have earned at least hundreds of dollars just by printing pirated books.

The cover of the book is a picture of the back of a scholar who is studying hard, and the title of the book is printed on the left: "Three Key Steps from Solving Examinations to Saving Examinations".

People have to admire the business acumen of the two, who have studied supply and demand so thoroughly, and also figured out people's hearts so delicately and delicately.

At this time, 350 books had been sold out, and the two brothers didn't care to say hello to Fan Ning, and ran to carry the books again.

Li Dashou smiled and said to Fan Ning: "This book is very popular in the capital. The original title was "The Secret of the Imperial Examination", but they changed the name and printed 3000 copies. They have sold more than [-] copies in the past few days." gone."

Only then did Fan Ning know the reason why the two of them did not return to Mudu Town. They were selling books everywhere, but the title of the book is very attractive. No wonder it's selling like crazy.

Fan Ning shook his head, returned the book to Li Dashou, and said with a smile, "You performed well this time. Zhao Xuezheng is full of praise for your article."

Li Dashou scratched his neck and said embarrassedly: "My shortcoming is calligraphy. I plan to practice calligraphy hard for three years, and strive to pass the next exam."

"You don't seem to have confidence in yourself?"

Li Dashou sighed, "Confidence is the basis of building strength. If I have the strength of my senior brother, I will also have confidence. My main calligraphy is a little weak, but calligraphy is the most important thing in the imperial examination. I know it very well. at this point."

Fan Ning admired Li Dashou's modesty the most.

Not long after, Su Liang and Duan Yu also came. Seeing Fan Ning, Su Liang smiled and said, "I saw Lu Youwei in the south, and he refused to ask him to come over."

Fan Ning nodded, he could understand Lu Youwei's mood, Fan Ning looked around again, "I don't seem to see Lin Hong?"

Dong Kun said: "He will come later!"

There are more and more people in the square, it is almost a sea of ​​people, and under the huge bulletin board where the rankings are released, there are even more scholars, waiting for the moment when the rankings will be released, but the gate of the Judging Court is still closed, as if it is testing Scholars are anxious.

Time passed little by little, just when everyone was about to lose patience, the small door of the examination house finally opened, and five or six teaching assistants walked out from the door, two of them were carrying ladders, the other was carrying a bucket of paste, One was holding a thick roll of yellow paper.

The crowd suddenly became turbulent.
