Chapter 139 Retake the Exam

After Weng Jingshan and the rest of the Weng family were exiled, the imperial court gave the results of the examination. Because there were so many people involved, this subject needed to be re-examined.

After knowing this result, Cao Bingwen felt a little frustrated.

Seeing him like this, Ye Ximing comforted him and said: "Brother Cao, you are really talented and learned. You were able to pass the exam before. This time without those cheating people, your ranking may be higher. Relax." , don’t be too nervous.”

Cao Bingwen smiled reluctantly, "I understand."

Now that things have come to this, he has no choice but to accept it.

The re-examination date was set for the end of March, and Ye Ximing and the other two spent the remaining days studying hard at home.

Zhou Ran and Da Niu continued to embroider their double-sided and three-different embroidery.

In front of Ye Ximing's tribute to the courtyard, the first double-sided three-different embroidery piece Zhou Ran and Da Niu collaborated on was finally completed. The front side of this double-sided three-different embroidery piece is a parrot and the reverse side is an eagle.

Zhou Ran originally wanted to find an embroidery shop in Beijing to sell this double-sided three-different embroidery, but Ye Ximing knew her idea and asked her to wait.

"Mr. Qian's family will be coming to Beijing in a few days. It's better to leave this thing to Mr. Qian's family and let him use it as a treasure."

Ye Ximing also wanted to take this embroidery and discuss cooperation with Qian Dong's family again.

Zhou Ran's cooperation with Linglong Embroidery Workshop has always been very pleasant, and she is also willing to continue to cooperate with Qian Dongjia. After listening to Ye Ximing's words, she agreed.

On March 28, Ye Ximing and the others entered the Gongyuan again.

By this time, the weather had warmed up, it was neither too cold nor too hot, and it was much more comfortable than the last time I went to Gongyuan.

But after three exams, Ye Ximing and the others were still visibly tired.

Back in the small rented courtyard, the three of them took a shower and ate something before falling asleep.

After waking up and relaxing for a few days, the three of them regained their energy.

The results of this examination came out quickly, and the results were released in mid-April.

Zhou Ran and Ye Ximing still went to see the list early.

The rankings this time were much more normal. Zhou Ran looked at it from the beginning, and the first one was Ye Ximing's name.

Zhou Ran looked at Ye Ximing with smiling eyes and said, "My lord, congratulations."

Ye Ximing was also happy. He, a scholar, had never fantasized about the three-yuan grade. Now he was only one champion away from the three-yuan grade. He hoped that he would not disappoint Zhou Ran.

The two of them were not too excited. After whispering a few words, they continued to look back. The second person was not someone they knew, but it was also a relatively familiar name.

Zhou Ran blinked: "Xu Jin, I seem to have heard of this name somewhere."

Ye Ximing reminded, "We met him when we were guessing lantern riddles on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

Of course, in addition to this, Ye Ximing also heard Xu Jin's name from other scholars. Xu Jin was a student of Wenyuan Academy in Beijing. During the previous provincial examination, everyone thought he would be Jie Yuan, but they did not expect Jie Yuan. However, Yuan was taken away by the unknown Fei Nanxing.

"Oh." After Ye Ximing's reminder, Zhou Ran had an impression. She nodded and continued to look back. The third place was Fang Yichen, and Fei Nanxing was ranked fourth.

As for Han Maoyan and Yang Yanqing, Zhou Ran did not see them in the top ten.

At this time, Wei Yan next to them shouted excitedly, "I hit, haha, I actually hit this time." Wei Yan was lucky and got 289 lives. Although his ranking was very low, No matter how you say it, he has won. Compared with the last time he was not on the list, it is enough to make Wei Yan excited.

Wei Yan's cry attracted envious or jealous looks from those around him.

Wei Yan didn't notice anything and was still happy: "My little sister, my mother, and my uncle will be very happy if they know that I won. I will write to them when I get back later to tell them the good news."

Ye Ximing and Zhou Ran congratulated Wei Yan, and then Ye Ximing tugged at Wei Yan again, pointing to Cao Bingwen, who was pale and shaky, and signaled him to accept his happiness first.

Cao Bingwen ranked more than 260 on the list that was invalidated, but now he has seen more than 230, but he has not seen his name yet.

Seeing this, Wei Yan put away his excited look and said to Cao Bingwen: "Brother Cao, don't worry, I can pass the exam. You must have passed. We will help you move forward."

Cao Bingwen responded reluctantly and continued to look at the list.

Ye Ximing and the others also helped find Cao Bingwen's name on the list.

In the end, it was Zhou Ranzai who took the lead and said: "Found it, found it, number one hundred and forty-eight."

The ranking of 148th was too close to the middle. No wonder Cao Bingwen and the others couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

"Really?" Cao Bingwen couldn't believe that he was ranked 148th. He moved his eyes to the middle of the list and saw his name.

He carefully checked the place of birth of the candidate written above, and it turned out that he was not wrong.

His originally pale face turned red with excitement, and his lips trembled as he said, "I hit, I hit, one hundred and forty-eight. I didn't expect it to be one hundred and forty-eight."

Wei Yan patted Cao Bingwen on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Cao, you can definitely win."

Now that the names of the three people have been found, they will no longer stay in front of the list and crowd around.

Before leaving, Zhou Ran looked back at the people in front of the list. Some were happy and some were crying.

In this re-examination, there are people like Wei Yan who were not on the list last time but got on the list by luck this time, and of course there are those who were on the list last time but failed this time.

If those who were not on the list last time could calmly accept that they were not on the list this time, then those who were clearly on the list last time but were not on the list this time due to various reasons will almost collapse.

Some people just sat in front of the list without any manners, cried loudly, and cursed Weng Jingshan.

Of course, these cannot affect the good mood of those who won the exam.

When Zhou Ran and the others returned to the small courtyard where they rented, the neighbors and the landlord of the small courtyard already knew that Ye Ximing and the other three had won the lottery, and they all came to congratulate them.

After entertaining these neighbors who came to congratulate me, some friends I had known before came to visit me.

Some of these people were successful this time, some were not successful, and Han Maoyan was among them.

People came to the door, and they were people he knew before, so Ye Ximing couldn't avoid them.

Ye Ximing entertained them together with Cao Bingwen and Wei Yan, but when they invited him to participate in the poetry meeting, Ye Ximing refused them because he still wanted to study hard and prepare for the palace examination.

Wei Yan got it by luck this time and was ranked very low. He was afraid that he would make mistakes in the palace examination, so he also wanted to read at home and prepare for the palace examination.

Although the tributes are generally not deposed during the palace examination, but are only re-ranked, this is not absolute.
