Chapter 306 Ranking
Similarly, with this throat-clearing cough, Song Nian also realized very clearly that the list was finally about to be announced.

It is no surprise that the first one to be read out was Pei Zili, the great-grandson of Duke Pei who was highly respected by Song Nian.

With Pei Zili's family background, reputation, and knowledge, it is really not a problem at all to be the champion.

What's more, although he was ill during the provincial examination and did not perform well enough, so that he didn't get the Jie Yuan, but the Hui Yuan with higher gold content was included in the bag.

Naturally, whether it's for the face of the northern aristocratic families represented by the Pei family that have been deeply rooted since the previous dynasty, or for the face of the examiners who selected Pei Zili as the guild, or even for a "huiyuan, champion" If all come from one person", the emperor would be willing to put Pei Zili first.

Well, that's right, the palace examination is unambiguous, so Song Yun felt that the final score of the palace examination was affected by multiple factors, so there was nothing wrong with it.

This is also the reason why students from both the north and the south, who have higher requirements for rankings, are keen to become famous early, especially in Beijing and China.

Some of them laid the groundwork early. When they were a few years old, their elders in the family spread their reputation as child prodigies.

Then people carry people in flower sedan chairs, you spread a good reputation to my baby, and I write prodigy poems to your baby, and the small circle praises each other, coupled with the pile of educational resources, the success rate is naturally so high that ordinary people can't imagine arrive.

Song Nian has used this method before. When he was in Liyang County, although there were far fewer scholars than in Beijing, there was still competition.

How to show his face, how to build a reputation, there is an uncle who runs an academy, and a cousin who is far ahead, Song Nian also took advantage of this.

But in the capital, with Song Nian's family background, if he used similar methods, it would be a waste of money, and he couldn't compare to others at all, so he didn't bother to bother about these things.

Sure enough, apart from the number one scholar, Tanhua Chuanlu, the second place in the list, are all well-known students in recent months. Song Nian is not familiar with them, and they may not even have spoken to them, but these names, as well as their articles, are quite impressive. I have heard a lot.

In Song Nian's impression, the No. [-] candidate was a student from the south who was a few years older than him. His writing style tended to be detailed and complicated, which was not quite in line with the trend of selecting scholars in recent years.On the contrary, the other party's poems are full of aura, rich in imagination, beautiful in words, and moving in talent.

Song Nian absent-mindedly analyzed the list while listening to the list. In his opinion, the knowledge of the second place was not inferior to Pei Zili, but it was a pity that he was talented but lacked political sensitivity. He really couldn't be the number one.

After the ranking of the top three was confirmed, another name was called out, and then a middle-aged student stood up excitedly and saluted, and took the small gold list with trembling hands. This is Chuanlu.

Song Nian looked up, somewhat envious, but more of looking forward to hearing his name from the other party as soon as possible.

At the same time, Song Yun and his group also began to poke their heads to look at the names on the gold list.

Song Yun was short, and she couldn't see anything in the crowd rubbing shoulders. She stepped on her feet, but it was still useless, and Shen Shi couldn't be expected to pick her up, so she couldn't help being a little discouraged.

At this time, Song Zhen tugged at the corner of Song Yun's clothes and said in a low voice:
"Little sister, should we go to the front to see together?"

Song Yun turned her head and looked her second brother up and down. That's right, he is also half a dwarf now, his eyes are blocked by the people in front of him, and he can't see anything clearly.

After applying with Chen, Shen readily agreed.

One is near the imperial palace, presumably the abductor is not brave enough to abduct people here;
The other is that the teahouse they booked is near here, and the children know the place, so if they can't find anyone at that time, it will be fine to meet there.

So she agreed, and let the eldest son out as well.

At any time, among the three children, Shen Shi trusted Song Ce the most. As long as he was there, she would not have to worry too much about her youngest son and daughter making trouble.

The three brothers and sisters held hands and stalked left and right in the crowd. Because of their young age and thin stature, although some people were not satisfied with their behavior of squeezing in, seeing that they were only three and a half children, they tolerated it.

Song Yun had a cheeky face, relying on the shortest stature to take the lead, and finally squeezed to the front with his two brothers, and then the three children looked up together with aspirations.

Jinju Prefecture...

Song Yun silently read her own father's personal information, while pointing in the void with her fingers.

Liyang County...

Song Yun didn't have much confidence in her own father, so she started to read from the last place in the second class. When she saw Liyang County, Jinzhou Prefecture, she was startled, and hurriedly looked at the name on the far left, it wasn't Song Nian , is Wang Qi.

The corners of Song Yun's mouth couldn't help but twitched. Although the ranking wasn't high, it was success if he entered the top two.

She silently wrote down the rankings, restrained herself, and continued to look up one by one.

"I saw it! I saw it! It belongs to my father!"

Song Ce, who was rarely so excited, suddenly yelled out. Song Yun and Song Zhen quickly followed his fingers and looked over, completely oblivious to the sour expressions of the people around them after hearing the yell.

Song Nian's ranking was higher. Because Song Yun was standing closer to the list, he could only raise his head higher and squinted his eyes slightly to see clearly:

"No. 40..."

"Two Jinshi No. 40 in the Palace Examination in the second year of Yiwei... Jinzhou Prefecture..."

Song Nian's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words "Jinzhou Mansion".

When there were more than 30 people, Zhao Yanlin's name had already been called. This year, there were less than 20 people from Jinzhou Prefecture to participate in the general examination, and only seven people entered the palace examination. Therefore, the probability is now one in six.

Song Nian's concentration became more concentrated, and he felt a thin layer of sweat seeping from his head, and felt that this layer of sweat dripped down to his ears, so that his hearing was a little blurred.

He couldn't help but secretly raised his sleeves, wiped the sweat from his ears, and then continued to listen attentively:

"...Song Nian from Liyang County."

The dust has settled.

Song Nian just felt that the whole person was stunned by this sentence. Although he had already comforted himself, as long as he entered the second class, he was still uncontrollably pleasantly surprised to learn that the ranking was higher than he imagined.

He stood out of the team completely by inertia, saluted and thanked him, then walked to the side of the team whose rank had been determined, looked at Zhao Yanlin who was a few people away, and laughed uncontrollably.

Once again, Song Jun and his two elder brothers pulled each other's clothes and sneaked around in the crowd, but this time they drilled outwards, so it went much smoother. The people around hoped that the more people in front would come out, the better. .

The three of them were discussing excitedly as they walked:

"Father is really amazing. No. 42, even if you can't stay in Beijing, you can get a better place."

This is what Song Ce even said about how difficult the road to scientific research was.

"I really hope that Dad can go to a rich place to be the county magistrate. I think it's better than staying in the capital."

This is what Song Yun, who has determined to be the county magistrate's lady since she was a child, said.

"Uncle is also great, No. 36. Uncle Cousin is also on the list. When the news spreads back, they will be envious of our three families. Haha, I will go to the academy to show off at that time. Brother, will you go?"

This is Song Zhen who loves face and shows off.
