Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 149 Excited Moments

The list of five black and yellow papers was finally pasted on the bulletin board, "Pingjiang Mansion Fajie Examination Admission List", a line of large characters is particularly eye-catching.

There was a sudden silence below the list, and countless pairs of eyes eagerly watched the names on the list, trying to match their own names with the names above.

Unfortunately, for the vast majority of people, such expectations are in vain. The candidates who really got on the list are far away, and they are not as eagerly looking forward to as most scholars.

Soon, hope disappeared in pairs of eyes, and candidates left sadly one by one.

The reincarnation happens again every three years. Some scholars start to cry in a low voice, and there are people whispering to comfort them, but more people leave in a daze. At this time, everyone is very depressed, and no one cares about the crying people. .

Finally, a scholar who lowered his head and ran quickly appeared. Judging from his jumping steps and the unconcealable joy on his face, he was a person on the list.

He bit his lips tightly, fearing that his excitement and laughter would irritate the other scholars, and when he walked far away, he jumped up and shouted excitedly, "I passed the exam!"

His excited yelling still attracted the eyes of countless people, with envy, jealousy, and contempt, but it was just a solution. Is it necessary to be so excited?

Fan Ning didn't go forward to look at the list, but Li Dashou and Su Liang volunteered to go to look at the list. Not long after, Li Dashou came back first, and he looked at the ground in a daze as if possessed by a demon, with a dazed and incredulous expression on his face.

"Dashou, what's the matter with you?" Fanning asked a little worried.

"Brother, do you think the Examination Institute made a mistake?" Li Dashou asked hesitantly.

"What's wrong?"

Fan Ning stared at him sharply, "Did you make it to the list?"

Li Dashou nodded, still bewildered, "I really don't know what's going on, my name is No.40, and my test number is also mine, but I'm not good at calligraphy"

He didn't say any more, tears came out of his eyes suddenly, "Brother, did I really pass the exam?"

Fan Ning hugged him tightly, "Big birthday, congratulations on passing the exam, go and announce the good news to your parents!"

Li Dashou covered his face, he was so excited that he couldn't restrain himself. The joy of being in the list flooded into his heart like a flood, making his excitement even more unstoppable. He opened his arms, raised his head to the sky and roared, and turned his feet towards the south of the city. Running away, he wanted to tell his family the joy of being on the list.

Everyone looked at Li Dashou who was running away in amazement. No one would have thought that Li Dashou would be on the list. You must know that in the Party of Nine, his grades were only slightly better than Mingren and Mingli's, but he passed the exam. Juren, the gazes of Dong Kun and Lin Hong were even more gloomy.

Fan Ning is not surprised. In the past two months, Li Dashou has been in the Taihu countryside to understand the sufferings of farmers. For two full months, he lived like an ordinary farmer, experiencing their joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys.

It is precisely because of his hard work that his countermeasures can be written with substance, and can be written more thoroughly and more simply than others.

Fan Ning was also quite moved by this. He couldn't find a reason to persuade everyone to go deep into the countryside to investigate, but Li Dashou completely trusted himself, and it was this trust that made him gain a lot.

At this time, Su Liang also came back. He looked at Fan Ning with a strange face, walked up to Fan Ning, and looked around him in circles.

"Su Liang, what's going on?" Everyone asked anxiously.

Su Liang finally couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, and sighed: "I think you will definitely pass the Gong Jushi exam, but I never thought that you actually got No. 1 in the exam!"

There was an uproar around, and Fan Ning actually passed the No.1 boy's exam.

At this time, Mingren and Mingli came running wildly, shouting excitedly, "A-Ning, you have passed the No.1 exam!"

The emotions of Ming Ren and Ming Li infected everyone, everyone lifted Fan Ning high and threw it into the air with cheers.

Su Liang stood aside, unable to hide the joy on his face. He didn't tell everyone that he was also on the list, No.5 on the Boys' List.

At noon, the Fubei restaurant was full of customers, and it was extremely lively and noisy. Mingren and Mingli bet on Fan Ningkao's first place in Guanpu shop, and each won 100 taels of silver. In addition, they sold [-] books in the morning. Feeling even happier than winning the list, I took the initiative to invite everyone to dinner.

But Lu Youwei was not there, Li Dashou ran home to announce the good news, and there were only seven people at the wine table.

Duan Yu did not pass the exam this time, but he has a calm mind. He is only 13 years old, and will only be 16 years old three years later. He has more opportunities than others.

Duan Yu raised his glass and took a sip of wine, then said with a smile, "No.1 is Fan Ning from Wu County, No.2 is Liu Ran from Wujiang, No.3 is Yao Xi from Changzhou County, and No.4 is Yanqing from Kunshan County. , No. 5 Wu County Su Liang, Wu County is the big winner this time, Changzhou County's face is going to be swollen, and they keep saying that they want to win five places, but in the end they only get No. 3, and become the laughing stock of Pingjiang Mansion. Dare to brag."

"This year is really unpopular!"

Dong Kun also figured it out, he was sincerely happy for Fan Ning and Su Liang, he drank a sip of wine and said with a smile: "The result of the adult solution test also made people's eyes drop, the Kunshan scholar who won the championship before Neither Meng Tong nor Wu Jiang talent Zhang Chao entered the top three, but a little-known Li Youlin won Xie Yuan, which was beyond everyone's expectations."

"Not everyone, someone guessed right."

Ming Ren suddenly remembered something, and asked Fan Ning with wide eyes: "I remember very clearly, you bet on Li Youlin to win Jieyuan, and you really won. Don't you want to win the big prize?"

Fan Ning shook his head and smiled, "I didn't bet on anyone, I bet on the top three, and Li Youlin was the first."

"Then who are you betting on No.2 and No.3?"

Fan Ning said with a smile: "I can't remember, I'll take a look at it later."

"A'Ning, I have a strong hunch that you will definitely win the big prize this time, 2000 taels of silver!"

Fan Ning smiled slightly, "It seems that there is a possibility. I remembered that No. 2 bet is Hu Kai, and No. 3 is Zhao Bolan."

"All right!"

Ming Ren and Ming Li glanced at each other, grabbed Fan Ning's arm, and said excitedly, "Don't eat, let's redeem the prize!"

Fan Ning managed to break free from their hands, and said dissatisfiedly, "You two, calm down! As long as it's mine, it won't be able to escape."

Lin Hong exclaimed from the side: "Senior brother, you are really going against the sky. The boy is No. 1 in the exam, and you can get a big prize if you buy a Guanpu. The younger brother is so impressed, I respect the senior brother!"

Lin Hong has always kept a low profile. His attitude towards Fan Ning is not as pious as that of Li Dashou. Three months ago, Fan Ning asked everyone to go to the countryside to investigate, but he also laughed it off and didn't take it seriously at all.

It wasn't until he took the "Nine Strategies for Xingnong" test on the countermeasures that he felt full of remorse. Fan Ning even got the first place in the Tongzi test, which completely changed his attitude.

If I had half the respect that Li Dashou had for Fan Ning, then my name would be on the list today.

Dong Kun also toasted and stood up and said, "I'm with Lin Hong, and I'm toasting brother."

Fan Ning stood up and smiled, "I will write a plan for you two later on. You should study carefully and prepare actively according to my plan. I am sure that you will also be on the list in three years' time."

The two were overjoyed, "Thank you, brother!"

Duan Yu clasped his hands anxiously and begged: "Senior Brother, I also call you Senior Brother, prepare a copy for me too!"

Fan Ning knew that he would not be able to explain the test questions in three years' time, but he could plan in the direction of solving the test questions, so that several juniors would have the opportunity to pass the test.

Seeing Duan Yu's sincere face, Fan Ning smiled and nodded, "Yes!"

Just as Mingren and Mingli were about to speak, Fan Ning stopped them with a wave of his hand, "You two will be exempted, the imperial examination is not suitable for you, business is your destination!"

Zhang Sanniang has been a little restless these two days. Last time her son came home and told him two things.

One thing is that the technology of shochu was leaked in the capital, and many main stores have launched their own shochu. According to the commission agreement signed with Zhu Yuanzhao, once the technology of shochu is leaked, the agreement will be over.

Zhang Sanniang didn't care about the liquor commission, she had already saved more than [-] guan in Zhu's money shop, and she no longer valued money as much as before.

For the past two days, she has been restless because of another matter, that is, her son's imperial examination, which should have been announced yesterday, but there was no news at all, which really worried Zhang Sanniang. She didn't sleep well last night, so much so that today I can't cheer up.

Zhang Sanniang was sitting in the room looking after her daughter, who had the habit of taking a nap and would not wake up until the afternoon.

Looking at her daughter's rosy face, Zhang Sanniang's heart was filled with mother's love.

At this time, the sound of gongs and drums came faintly in the distance. Zhang Sanniang didn't pay attention to it at first, but as the sound of gongs and drums got closer and closer, it became more and more noisy, which made Zhang Sanniang frowned. daughter sleeping.

She stood up, and was about to close the door when the servant girl, Amei, ran in, "Mother, go and see, there are many people at the door!"

Zhang Sanniang was startled, and hurriedly said: "You take care of Ah Duo, I'll go and have a look!"

She put on a shoulder scarf and hurried out, only to see that the gate was full of villagers, among them were a few Tolerances and some drummers, and the housekeeper, Old Yuan, was talking to Tolerance.

"Old Yuan, what's the matter?"

After all, Zhang Sanniang is a womanizer, so many people came, which really made her a little nervous.

When Lao Yuan saw Zhang Sanniang, he hurriedly said to the official: "This is my mistress, Fan Xiaoguan's mother!"

The tolerance quickly stepped forward to salute, and said with a smile: "Ms. Fan, we are here to announce the good news to you!"

Tolerance straightened his waist, opened the announcement book, and read aloud: "Fan Ning, Jiangwan Village, Mudu Town, Wu County, No. 1 in the list of high school Pingjiang prefect boys, hereby announce the good news!"

"what!"

Zhang Sanniang was stunned.
