The daily life of the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, thick black

Chapter 187 Nine and a Half Names

No one expected that it would end up like this.

Under the shocking gazes of everyone, Zhang Tingyu just threw the brush away, walked through the crowd with his hands behind his back, bought Hu Xinghua Village at the east end of Chang'an Avenue, and went back to have a drink with Gu Huaixiu.

Seeing that Fan Xiu was destined to fail the rankings this year, Zhang Tingyu scribbled such an eloquent article with a pen, and there was a sudden turn of events.

How many people dropped their jaws?

It's a pity that the master who caused the trouble didn't consider the feelings of ordinary people at all.

Of course, Gu Huaishu knew all too well what Zhang Tingyu had done.

Seeing him coming back leisurely, she said: "Why haven't you been beaten to death by those people?"

Zhang Tingyu didn't even raise his eyelids, and wrote such a long story on one wall, and he hasn't had enough energy yet.He laughed and said, "They were all frightened by me..."

When walking, everyone automatically moved out of the way, who would dare to stop him?

Presumably the sky is not dark, the news is about to spread, right?
At this time, the apricot list should have been uncovered, but Zhang Tingyu suddenly made such a turning point, which immediately caused the capital to explode.

Fan Xiu begged the people on Ba Ye's side to find a way, but what could Ba Ye's side come up with?

All of a sudden, Yinhu hated Fan Xiu to the core.

If there were no such incidents, Zhang Tingyu's reputation would not have spread so far. It is still useful to slander him, but now there are answer sheets and comments hanging next to the apricot list, how can they slander him?

If you tell lies with your eyes open, no one will believe it.

Yinhu thought in his heart that this matter was hopeless, so he simply let go and ignored Fan Xiu, letting him fend for himself.

What can Fan Xiu do?

If you are in a cocoon, you will be the one who hurts you after all.

It turned out that everyone said that Zhang Tingyu deliberately failed his answer sheet in order to retaliate against his own interests, and there was indeed such a suspicion, but now we can see how well-founded his refutation is.

Fan Xiu thought about it for himself, especially after comparing the answers and comments, he suddenly felt that the article he wrote was indeed not worthy of the list.

What's more, compared with Lin Zhijun, this person said that he offended Zhang Tingyu at first, so much so that he burst into tears when he left the examination room after the first test, but now Lin Zhijun is No. 10 in the middle test, but He, Fan Xiu, lost his name to Sun Shan...

How realistic are these comparisons?

He let out a long sigh, and thought that he would come back in three years.

It's just how high expectations I had originally, but now I'm so disappointed.

Falling from the clouds to the mud, if Fan Xiu hadn't been quite capable, she would have passed out by now.

Fan Xiu was packing up the things in the inn. Before the test was released, the shopkeeper had spoken nicely to him, but now it was a little subtle.

After all, he is already a loser, let alone offended Zhang Tingyu?

Being filled with such long test papers on the wall, thinking about it, is unprecedented, and I am afraid that there will be no one in the future.

"Brother Fan! Brother Fan! Hurry up and look under the apricot list! Congratulations, Brother Fan, congratulations, Brother Fan!"

It was getting dark, but Peng Weixin ran in from the outside, and there were many friends behind him, all of them looked excited and beaming.

Fan Xiu thought in his heart, what is there to congratulate for losing?It's not like they're playing tricks on themselves, right?
On weekdays, everyone called him brothers and sisters, but now they came to boo him...

As soon as Fan Xiu's face changed, he was about to have an attack.

Unexpectedly, Peng Weixin's next sentence made his whole head buzz: "Congratulations Brother Fan, you are ranked nine and a half on the apricot list! The emperor pointed down and ordered Mr. Li Guangdi to be ranked No. 9 and a half in the apricot list." Among the ten, the name of Brother Fan was added!"

Nine and a half?
The apricot list actually has the saying of "half"...

But it doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that he was on the list again, that is to say, someone has already refuted Zhang Tingyu's criticism to him?

Thinking of this, Fan Xiu immediately pushed everyone away and went to look under the apricot list.

Although it was already dark, after Zhang Tingyu left, people surrounded him. After Li Guangdi came to mention Fan Xiu's name, the whole capital gathered to watch this unprecedented scene!
It can be said that even the Huiyuan who will take the exam this year do not have such a great reputation as Fan Xiu.

His reputation is completely tied to Zhang Tingyu.

In fact, the 45th year of Kangxi is the only year in which the reputation of the examiner is greater than that of all the candidates, right?

"Fan Xiu is here!"

"Brother Fan is here!"

"Quick, quick, give way!"

"The unprecedented nine and a half!"

"yes……"

Fan Xiu walked through the crowd all the way, the three floors below the apricot list and the three floors outside had already surrounded an unknown number of people, everyone gave way when they saw Fan Xiu coming.

It was already dark, and the handwriting on the wall was barely visible.

Fan Xiu glanced at the apricot list first, and his name was indeed placed between No.9 and No.10. Once the apricot list came out, it could not be rewritten. This year's situation is very special, so Li Guangdi's old fox came up with such a bad idea. Give Fan Xiu a long face, and directly put his name between No. 9 and No. 10. According to what Zhang Tingyu wrote in the refutation today, this Fan Xiu's article can be between the ninth and the tenth.

It can be said that Li Guangdi fulfilled both Zhang Tingyu and Fan Xiu.

I am afraid that it is the Qing Dynasty, and there will never be a second "nine and a half candidates for the test".

The moment she saw her name, Fan Xiu almost cried out.

But then he looked at the handwriting next to him.

Refuting the Bingxu Branch Examination...

Fan Xiu looked all the way down, but didn't notice the person's handwriting, because the whole person was already attracted by the clear and logical exposition in the article.

He even yelled "Okay" when he saw it!
After reading it, Fan Xiu only felt that this person was highly talented, still higher than Zhang Tingyu. How lucky was his answer sheet to be judged by such two people?

Such a soul-stirring refutation made Fan Xiu's heart agitated. He glanced down, and all his expressions froze instantly.

Minister Zhang Tingyu refuted it for Fan Gongxiu.

This……

What does it mean?
Fan Xiu was stunned. He even raised his eyes to look at the title of the entire refutation article in disbelief. It is indeed "the minister Zhang Tingyu refuted for Fan Gongxiu"!

In other words, the person who wrote the text for him was also Zhang Tingyu!

This man is just...

Refuting your own article can also make people feel...

Fan Xiu's whole body was not well, and he stood under this wall of apricot list for a long time, unable to move at all.

Naturally, Peng Weixin and the others felt that Zhang Tingyu's actions were too unkind. Isn't this a trick?
Many people couldn't see the inscription at the beginning. After all, it was a long article, written from one end of the wall to the other. After reading it, they were completely immersed in the discussion of the article, and felt that Fan Xiu's article could indeed It was rated on the apricot list, but the next step was a head-on blow!
It was Zhang Tingyu who made the rebuttal!

Shameless, really shameless!
It is easy to write an article to drop Fan Xiu's answer sheet, and he can also write another article at his fingertips to praise Fan Xiu. Only in this way is he superior to the world, but in the end he is willing to take pity on Fan Xiu's talent. After all, he did not deceive others too much, and gave Fan Xiu a way out.

This is the combination of kindness and might...

Zhang Tingyu can put you down, but also lift you up.

There is no reason, just because he is more talented and scheming than you.

Everyone went to call Fan Xiu, but Fan Xiu still stood still.

He didn't go back to the inn until the moon was in the middle of the sky. His things had already been packed, but he didn't have to leave now.

Now everyone calls him "Fan Jiuban". This nickname has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has spread all over the capital in a blink of an eye.

When he was in contact with Ba Ye's people, Fan Xiu collected a lot of things. Now he sat in the house for a long time, and finally got up, wrapped up all the things, called the waiter, and asked him to run an errand , Throw all these things to him, "Send it to Lord Babeile's house."

At the beginning, he begged Ba Ye to do something, but he refused. Now that Zhang Tingyu took Fan Xiu back by himself, he naturally knew how he should choose.

If you want to rely on someone to do things well, what is an Eighth Master?
Now he is completely impressed by Zhang Tingyu's talent, how dare he scold Zhang Tingyu again?
Fan Xiu couldn't sleep all night, thinking of visiting Zhang Tingyu's mansion, but finally felt presumptuous, thinking of every word he scolded Mr. Zhang, he was ashamed.

Fan Xiu became the only nine and a half on the apricot list, and his reputation surpassed that of Huiyuan Shi Yunjin.

The next day, there will be a banquet with the same yearrs, and Fan Xiu will naturally be there. Shi Yunjin is naturally not very happy to see Fan Xiu.But everyone was in the same year after all, so they just handed over their hands and congratulated him.

Fan Xiu naturally agreed, and he also knew that Shi Yunjin, the member of the club, was too aggrieved this year.

Fan Xiu's reputation is high, and Zhang Tingyu has made such a fuss, so it doesn't matter if he is not high.

When everyone was about to take their seats, Fan Xiu asked anxiously: "Today's banquet, I wonder if the examiners will come?"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a call to get off the sedan chair at the door, and then several officials in casual clothes came out. Zhang Tingyu came late, and the sedan chair was behind. Everyone waited for him to come forward before they dared to enter the restaurant.

When everyone saw Zhang Tingyu, Qi Qi bowed down and said, "The students have seen the old man."

Zhang Tingyu squeezed a folding fan in his hand, raised it casually and said, "Get up, you are not wearing official uniforms, everyone is a scholar."

Scholars in the world are just one family.

He was so easy-going and airless, he couldn't tell at all that he was the one who failed Fan Xiu's answer sheet more than a dozen times.

Everyone didn't expect it, but the other examiners seemed to be familiar with it, so they didn't dare to say anything more.

During the banquet, everyone was drinking and eating. When Zhang Tingyu said that he wanted to invite some girls to drink with him, Zhang Tingyu waved his hands repeatedly, but he refused.

At this banquet, the food was fairly clean, and everyone was considered Zhang Tingyu's disciples. They were originally dissatisfied in various ways, but after reading Zhang Tingyu's comments, they were all sincerely convinced.

Those who came today were all those who had participated in the examination, and those who failed did not have any dissatisfaction.

This year should be the year with the least number of complaints after the general examination.

Because no one dared to sue at all, and after suing, the end would be Fan Xiu's failure.

It's just that Zhang Tingyu came here today for another purpose.

He scanned around, but saw no one.

Peng Huiqi said: "Master Zhang, who are you looking for?"

Zhang Tingyu only said that the madman didn't come, "That Dai Mingshi, it's a pity this year..."

"Hey, it means that Mr. Zhang appreciates him and wants to promote him. It's because he didn't live up to his stature and left after two exams... No matter how talented he is, such a person is really..." Peng Huiqi shook his head .

When Zhang Tingyu was about to leave the banquet and go back home, Fan Xiu chased after Zhang Tingyu and bowed to Zhang Tingyu to the end: "Student Fan Xiu, thank you Mr. Zhang for your promotion..."

"What about promotion? Prepare for the imperial examination by yourself."

Zhang Tingyu laughed and left.

Fan Xiu stood there watching, but her heart was extremely complicated.

Just after the banquet in the restaurant was withdrawn, Li Guangdi also got the exam candidates' answer sheets published by Jinke in the South Study Room of the Imperial Palace. These can be printed and distributed for everyone's reference, but there are no comments on them, they are all the candidates' original exam papers.

Li Guangdi heard that Fan Xiu's answer sheets had already started to be printed in the streets and alleys, and what he wanted to sell was not simply Fan Xiu's answer sheets, but Zhang Tingyu's comments.

This year is really weird...

Just such a Zhang Tingyu...

Hey.

Li Guangdi thought about bringing tea to drink. He had just passed the general examination, and the palace examination was not long before, so he was about to get busy.

While drinking tea, he flipped through the answer sheet casually, and just after scanning the first line of the first page, he spit out a mouthful of tea: "Pfft——"
