When Chen Zhongqian saw that Chen Zhongda and Liu Zhaofei had also passed the examination, he was happy for them and relieved at the same time.
The four of them have lived together for so long, and their relationship is even closer. Anyone who fails to pass will feel uncomfortable.
There were still several students from Yueshan Academy who participated in the examination. They crowded in front and read all the lists. Three of them failed the examination, but the rest were on the list.
This was a good fight for Yueshan Academy, but it was a huge blow to the three who failed. It was not easy to comfort them at this time, and there was no need to say anything.
Yue Ye specifically looked at the rankings of Lushan Ming and Liu Xun. Lushan Ming was ranked sixteenth, a little ahead of him, and Liu Xun was ranked one hundred and twenty-sixth. This time he tried to get one hundred and sixty-eighth. He had already
It's a lower ranking.
That's right. Liu Xun, a person like Liu Xun who doesn't know how to make progress and only puts his hope in crooked ways, if his ranking is higher, then there is really no need for the scientific examination.
After reading the list, they were about to go back to the inn. When they turned around, they met Liu Xun, who was standing behind him with a look of resentment on his face.
Yue was also startled, "Who are you trying to scare by standing so close? Give way."
Liu Xun gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be complacent, there is still the imperial examination, and the ranking in the examination cannot mean anything."
Yue Ye nodded, "Yes, yes, you are right. Maybe you can still win the top prize. I don't dare to mess with you. If you really become the top pick in a new subject, then you can't humiliate me to death in the street. It's really scary to think about it."
.”
Liu Xun was extremely angry, but he had nothing to do with them, especially Chen Zhongqian, so he could only vent his anger on himself.
As soon as he tilted his head, Lu Shanming was next to him, and Liu Xun said, "Brother Lu, don't you always say that your strength is better than Chen Zhongqian? You didn't do well in the exam this time."
Lu Shanming smiled and said, "I haven't tried it seriously. I really thought that I was stronger than him. This time I am willing to lose. He is better than me."
Yue Ye raised his eyebrows. Lu Shanming, a prickly man, was quite reasonable, and he accepted it just like that.
He couldn't help but look at Lu Shanming with admiration, reached out and patted Lu Shanming on the shoulder, "Brother Lu, let's drink together some other time."
Lu Shanming nodded towards him, "Okay, let's meet some other time."
Liu Xun wanted them to quarrel, but Lushan Ming didn't pick up the fight. Not only did they not quarrel, but they actually made him look like a clown.
Seeing them smiling happily, he felt humiliated, threw down his sleeves, turned around and left.
As soon as he left, the others were even more happy. Liu Xun did something like that. He didn't know where he could find the courage to yell at others. It would be better to make him angry. It would be better to make him angry to death.
Lu Shanming looked at Chen Zhongqian and said, "What I just said is true. You are indeed better than me."
Chen Zhongqian nodded, without any humility, "That's the truth, you should have known it a long time ago."
"Hey, I'm just saying a few polite words, don't you know how to be more modest?" Lushan Ming akimbo, even if I am convinced by you, but don't take it for granted, it will make me look stupid.
Chen Zhongqian said, "That's just a waste of time. Wouldn't it be nice to tell the truth?"
Lushan Ming was completely convinced by him. This time, he was actually very satisfied with his own results. Students from all over the world gathered in one place, and he was able to get into the top twenty. It was already very impressive. He lived up to Dean Yue's carefulness.
teach.
After checking my own ranking, I went to see Chen Zhongqian's. I subconsciously looked behind, but couldn't find it. Then I remembered to look ahead.
The result is pretty good, top three.
Liu Xun's connections that he showed off to everyone allowed him to get over 100 in the exam. It makes sense for Chen Zhongqian to have someone to help him in Yonghe Town, but he would definitely not be able to get involved in the capital. This is his true strength.
The moment Lu Shanming saw Chen Zhongqian's ranking, he was convinced from the bottom of his heart. He really couldn't compare to this person, no matter how many years of hard work, he couldn't compare to him.
He reached out and patted Chen Zhongqian on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Work hard in the imperial examination. If you win the top prize in high school, our Yueshan Academy will become even more famous."
Chen Zhongqian smiled slightly and said, "Yes."
The more Liu Xun thought about it, the angrier he became, so he went to Yuan'antang again, clamoring to see his employer, and he wanted to see him no matter what he said today.
The shopkeeper of Yuan Antang said, "My boss is very busy, so I don't have time to see you. My boss is also trying his best to handle your affairs. What else do you want?"
"You are just the son-in-law of the owner of Yuantang, a small family. You just accidentally found a thousand-year-old ginseng for your boss. Do you really think you have made a great contribution?"
"If you are more sensible, my employer will see that you are interested. Now that you have gained fame, maybe they will really use you. If you never know how much you weigh, I am afraid that you will not be able to do anything for your employer even if you ask for it."
Already."
Liu Xun said, "I found that thousand-year-old ginseng with great difficulty, and it almost cost my wife's life. How could my boss do this?"
"They said they wanted to help me, but my ranking turned out to be so low. I think my employer didn't take any action at all. Even I can get this ranking myself."
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Oh, do you really think this test is just playing house? All the talented people in the world gathered together to fight for their heads. Even the inn was packed with talented people, and there were more than a hundred people.
?”
"You don't need to tell me what your grades are in normal times, right? My boss has already put in a lot of effort to get you to the place you are now. You're still not satisfied. Do you really think you can get into the top three?"
"Let me tell you, unless the royal family comes forward, no one can squeeze into the top three based on their ability."
Liu Xun was stunned for a moment, "You mean, those who get into the top three are all truly talented?"
The shopkeeper nodded, "That's natural. The top three this time are all from poor families, and there are no famous families in the capital. Naturally, they all rely on their own abilities."
Liu Xun was dumbfounded, and the shopkeeper said again, "You really don't need to be impatient. What does your ranking mean? The most important thing is to appoint officials after the imperial examination."
"Even if you are the top pick in a new department and have no skills, you will be sent to a remote and chaotic place. As long as your employer is satisfied with you and lets you go to a good place, so what? Even staying in the capital is not impossible."
Liu Xun felt better now, "Is this really true?"
"Why are you lying to me? Just wait and see. My boss is short of people to do things, let alone sensible people."
The shopkeeper finally woke up Liu Xun. It was useless for him to make such a fuss. He had already given the ginseng, could he still take it back?
If he makes this boss anxious, what will he do next? At this point, he must not lose his support.
He must be more sensible and get an official position first, otherwise, why would he have been silent for so many years?
As long as he has an official position, the Du family and his daughter cannot do anything to him and must obey him in everything.
