Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 209 Gold List High School
As the announcer ran away, the scholars at the gate of the inn fell into a great loss. Everyone felt empty, but there were more than [-] people gathered here!Only four people passed the exam at one time.

Everyone slowly woke up from the cruel reality.

They all realized that the possibility of passing the exam is too low. Although everyone knows that only one person in 200 people will pass the exam, that is just a cold number.

But now, the cruel reality made them truly understand what it means to be on the list is difficult, and what it means to be one in a million.

Su Liang sighed, "When I heard about the two people in Pingjiang Mansion, I thought it was you and me, but it turned out that it has nothing to do with us!"

"We are Tongzike, it should be a little later, but we have heard of these two people!"

"I heard that Meng Tong is Ouyang Xiu's high-achieving apprentice, but Zhang Chao is not sure."

Fan Ning smiled slightly, "Zhang Chao is a poor student supported by the Zhu family, and he is one of the outstanding students of the Zhu family in recent years."

"I see!"

As Su Liang spoke, he stood on tiptoe and looked towards the south. Suddenly, he pointed to the south and shouted: "It's time to announce the good news again!"

Everyone was looking to the north, but they didn't expect the announcer to come from the south, and everyone flocked to the south.

The head announcer waved his hand, and his peers stopped the scholars. The announcer opened the announcement and said loudly: "There are three people in the old Caomen inn, Qian Yun from Jiangxia County, Ezhou, Zhang Zhi from Chenliu County, Kaifeng Prefecture, and Luo Yun from Ruyang County, Caizhou. open!"

The cheers were louder and louder, and a scholar was thrown high on the other side of the Ezhou scholar group.

Among the group of people in Kaifeng Mansion, a scholar was so excited that his face was flushed, and he bowed repeatedly to thank everyone.

The announcing officer took the money and left. As soon as he left, two teams of announcing officials came rushing from West Street, and the crowd became excited and surrounded the two teams of announcing officials.

One of the annunciators shouted: "My boy is trying to announce the good news, please come closer!"

Hearing that it was a boy's test, the scholars walked to the other side one after another, but there were still hundreds of candidates for the boy's test gathered around the announcing officer.

Fan Ning and Su Liang also hurried forward and stood behind the crowd.

The announcer opened the announcement and said loudly: "There are three boys here trying to make the list, and the first one is Jiang Jun from Jiangdu County, Yangzhou!"

A young man yelled and jumped up excitedly, and several fellow villagers nearby congratulated him one after another.

The announcer took a look at the young man, waited for him to be quiet, and said loudly: "The two below are scholars from Pingjiang Mansion..."

Fanning's ears 'whoosh! ' stood upright, and Su Liang's eyes began to show a dull look.

The announcer shouted: "Both are Wu County scholars, Wu County scholar Fan Ning, and Wu County scholar Su Liang, congratulations to the two high school students!"

Su Liang shouted excitedly, hugging Fan Ning's neck, jumped and shouted, "I passed the exam! I passed the exam!"

At this time, the eyes of the other scholars became sad. A total of only [-] boys were admitted for the test, and they were divided into [-] inns to announce the good news. There were three people here, which meant that there would be no more in the future. Weeping in despair.

Fan Ning could feel the sadness of the other scholars, he restrained his inner excitement, and hurried forward to hand five or six taels of silver to the announcer.

The announcer was overjoyed, and immediately took out a cannon, ignited it and threw it into the air, only to hear 'bang! ' With a loud noise, the gunpowder smoke filled the air and shreds of paper flew up.

"Congratulations to the three!"

The Annunciator handed over the admission notices to the three teenagers, and continued to run northward.

At this time, other scholars stepped forward to congratulate Fan Ning and Su Liang, but Su Liang was still immersed in great joy and did not respond at all.

Fan Ning returned the salute to everyone one by one to express his gratitude.

Only then did Su Liang, who was showing signs of dementia, return to the residence.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Cheng Yuanyuan rushed up and asked anxiously, "Did you pass the exam?"

Fan Ning pointed at Su Liang and said with a smile: "This is what it looks like to pass the exam. He is already in a daze. Hurry up and get a basin of cold water to wake him up!"

Cheng Yuanyuan was overjoyed, she was not willing to splash water on her lover, she pulled Su Liang's arm excitedly and shouted: "Ah Liang, wake up!"

Fan Ning found that something was wrong with Su Liang, and he was also a little worried, so he slapped Su Liang backhand.

Su Liang yelled, covered his face and pointed at Fan Ning and shouted, "Why did you hit me?"

Fan Ning was angry and funny, "You brat, you passed the exam!"

"What?" Su Liang was at a loss for a while.

Cheng Yuanyuan shook his arm excitedly and shouted, "Ah Liang, you passed the exam."

Su Liang finally recovered his normal excitement. He hugged Cheng Yuanyuan and shouted, "Yuanyuan, I passed the exam!"

Fan Ning turned his head and rolled his eyes, this kid is taking advantage of the opportunity!
Cheng Yuanyuan shyly pushed Su Liang away, "Ah Liang, let's celebrate!"

Su Liang was also a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said with a smile: "Okay! I'm treating you today."

He suddenly came to his senses and said to Fan Ning, "No! Fan Ning, you also passed the exam, why didn't you treat me?"

Fan Ning rolled his eyes at him, "Did you give money to the announcer?"

"Uh!"

Only then did Su Liang realize that he came back in a daze, and he quickly said, "I invite you!"

Cheng Ze next to him came forward to congratulate the two of them at this moment. He obviously had something on his mind. Su Liang had passed the provincial examination. According to the normal procedure, he should be granted a Jinshi background after the palace examination.

In this way, his sister is a bit unworthy of him.

He was thinking in his mind that it would be best to cook the raw rice first before talking about it.

At this moment, a large carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley, and Jupe jumped out of the carriage and rushed over, with an unconcealable excitement on his face.

"A-Ning, congratulations on your admission."

The bright smile on Zhu Pei's face melted Fanning's heart. He stepped forward, scratched the back of his neck and asked with a smile, "How did you know so quickly?"

Zhu Pei put his hands behind his back, shook his body, and said triumphantly: "I have inside information. Actually, I knew it last night. I just wanted you to feel the surprise of the announcer, so I didn't tell you."

"Did it come from the Ministry of Rites?"

Jupe shook his head, "I'll tell you later, it's time to celebrate!"

Su Liang jumped over, put his arms around Fan Ning's shoulders and said with a smile, "Jupei, you haven't congratulated me yet!"

Zhu Pei smiled faintly, "I know, and congratulations on passing the provincial exam. I think you should write a letter to tell your family immediately."

One sentence reminded Su Liang, he turned around and ran towards the yard, shouting back, "I'll be fine soon, let's celebrate together!"

Fan Ning also hurriedly said, "I also have to write a letter home."

Zhu Pei smiled and took out a letter and handed it to him, "Look at this!"

Fan Ning was stunned after receiving the letter, and asked for a while, "When did I write this letter?"

It was a letter he wrote to his parents, clearly in his handwriting.

Zhu Pei smiled smugly, "It seems that I imitated well!"

Fan Ning took a closer look, but he still didn't see that it was an imitated handwriting, it was clearly his own.

"When will you imitate my handwriting?" Fanning asked in surprise.

"Three years ago! After you went to the county school, I had nothing to do, so I imitated the handwriting of several people. You were one of them, including my father's and my grandfather's handwriting. They didn't recognize that I imitated it." .”

Fan Ning didn't know whether to be angry or to smile wryly. He opened the letter and saw that Zhu Pei imitated his own tone and wrote a letter to his parents to announce the good news. The writing was extremely respectful and Fan Ning was a little moved.

"Thank you! I'll post it later."

Everyone sent letters in the old Caomen tiles, and then came to the best Shilou nearby. At this time, Mingren also rushed over after hearing the news, and congratulations were naturally indispensable.

At this time, the list announcements of the local announcing officials have ended, and 590 six candidates have received their admission notices, and the remaining [-] candidates can only taste the taste of failing the list in silence.

The most obvious is the business of the major restaurants. Except for the scholars who are in a bad mood and come to get drunk, the rest of the scholars hardly go out, and the business of the major restaurants seems deserted.

It was heard that two high-ranking scholars from the boy's department came to the restaurant to celebrate, the shopkeeper came out to congratulate them in person, and waived their food money.

The shopkeeper held a roll of banners, spread them on the table, and prepared pens and inks. He cupped his fists and said with a smile, "I kindly ask the two young Jinshi to leave ink treasures for this shop!"

Su Liang quickly waved his hand, "I can't, let Fan Ning write an inscription for you!"

He pushed Fanning up, and Fanning hesitated, looking at Jupe.

Zhu Pei smiled and said: "This is the rule, all Jinshi of Xinke must write an inscription for the restaurant, but you have written an inscription here, don't forget about Zhulou's side."

Fan Ning thought for a while and smiled, "Then write a couplet!"

He dipped his pen in the ink and wrote a couplet:
There are four high-level talks, and a thousand cups are poured a day.

And go to drink fine wine and get drunk on the high platform by the moon.

Next, I wrote my own name, 'Gusu Fanning'

"Okay!" The shopkeeper clapped and applauded, and quickly took it away. He had to hand over this couplet to the proprietor.

Zhu Pei refused, and insisted that Fan Ning write a couplet for Zhu Lou.

Fan Ning pondered for a moment and smiled, "I will definitely write a picture, and Zhulou can offer a reward for the second couplet. I believe it will definitely cause a sensation in the capital and overwhelm the limelight of Fanlou."

Zhu Pei's eyes lit up, "You write it for me?"

Fan Ning wrote an upper couplet: Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yanyan.
