After the three yuan and the third, the ministers angered the ceremony and the music collapsed

Chapter 43
Three days have passed.

Today at [-]:[-], Wei Xiang called Jiang Zhao early, and today is the day when the palace examination will be released.

Jiang Zhao hadn't been there when the rankings were released, so he just went to see the excitement today.

Because the announcement time was Chenshi, Jiang Zhao had no choice but to tidy up hastily. The scarf on his head had just been tied, and he wanted to watch the announcement.

Si Mubai originally wanted her to eat breakfast before going, but Jiang Zhao got tired of eating at home every day, so he decided to go out to eat together today and try the breakfast outside.

Now Jiang Zhao feels as if he has returned to his junior high school. His mother doesn't like to eat the breakfast that his mother worked hard at home, and he likes to eat those roadside stalls.

But her current age is indeed the age when she was still in middle school in her previous life.

The places where the palace examinations are released are usually relatively lively bazaars. It is to let everyone know who is the top three in this year's palace examinations, and to encourage everyone to study hard and take the imperial examinations.

When Jiang Zhao and Simu Bai arrived, there were already many people gathered outside to watch the fun.

Wei Xiang stood behind her and silently protected her, preventing her from being bumped by these common people.

Jiang Zhao looked around, and there were many carriages parked around. Judging from their luxury, they should be the children of aristocratic families who participated in the palace examination to see the results.

She stayed at home for a long time, and came to such a lively market all of a sudden, and she was a little uncomfortable.

There are people watching the excitement around, and there are vendors who see business opportunities setting up stalls to sell things, and some opportunistic people have opened gambling stalls, betting on who this year's new champion will be.

Jiang Zhao liked the cakes of this world very much, so he asked Wei Xiang to buy a lot, and squatted on the ground to eat slowly, waiting for the palace attendant to come and release the list.

While eating, she observed the crowd, and found that there was a group of people who were dressed in luxurious fabrics but with very low-key styles.

I think this group of people should be merchants, and they came here early to wait for the purpose of catching their son-in-law when the list is released.

Thinking that the scenes that could only be seen on TV before would be seen in reality soon, Jiang Zhao was inexplicably looking forward to it.

In this palace examination, only a few people from poor families participated, among which Si Mubai could be said to stand out from the crowd.

He is good-looking and talented, and his literary talent and knowledge are also top-notch. He is definitely a good candidate for a son-in-law.

As for himself, Jiang Zhao never thought that since he is not yet an adult, he should not be caught as a son-in-law.

Jiang Zhao looked at this group of people with great interest, wondering who would be captured by them and become their son-in-law.

Little did he know that his own bad luck would come from them in a short while.

Then, Jiang Zhao observed the gambling stalls for a while.

There were quite a few people around the gambling booth, and some of them took out their money one after another to bet on the talent they liked.

Most of them bet on the four famous talents before.

Of course, many people bet on Jiang Zhao, the dark horse.

Everyone gathered in front of the gambling booth, discussing who had a better chance of getting the top scorer in this year's exam.

"What do you think, who will win the first prize in this year's palace examination?"

"I think the prime minister's son, Mr. Du Yuebin, is likely to be this year's champion."

"No, this year's No. [-] Scholar will most likely try Jiang Zhao, who was the top of the list last time."

"Although Jiang Zhao was at the top of the test list last time, she is too young. She is only sixteen this year, and the topic of the last test was too biased. None of the four great talents in Huaijing City showed their full strength. I still think that this year's new champion is very likely to be Mr. Du Yuebin."

"It's not that the prince Jing Huarong of this country's government is a great talent, he may also be the number one in the new department."

"The son of Jing Huarong you mentioned, didn't even pass the top three in the examination last time. This new champion is a little bit hanging."

"There are also the other two great talents of the four great talents. They missed the top three in the last test. If you bet on them, the chances of betting on Young Master Jiang Zhao and Young Master Simubai will be higher."

"That's right, two of the top three in the last test were from my humble family, so Jiang Zhao and Simubai really brought glory to my humble family, so I decided to bet on Jiang Zhao and Simubai."

……

Everyone expressed their own analysis, and then encouraged others to bet on the talents they were optimistic about, as if whoever bet the most would become the new champion of this year.

Jing Huarong was sitting in the carriage, listening to the discussions of the common people outside, with clenched fists and a gloomy face.

A group of ignorant people dared to openly insult the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

He blamed all of this on Dao Jiang Zhao and Simu Bai. If it wasn't for the two of them, how could he not even pass the top three exams?
However, the Lord, whom he resented, was still squatting on the curb eating pastries, entangled in his mind for a long time.

In the end, I couldn't help but walk to the front of the gambling booth. Although gambling is not good, but I can see the gambling of the bottom line. I am sorry that I know the bottom line.

Jiang Zhao randomly walked to a gambling booth, took out all his money and put it on the gambling board with his name written on it.

Si Mubai saw her betting on him, stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Brother, does this count as cheating?"

"I just thought that Jiang Zhao's name sounds nice, so I bet randomly, so how can it be considered cheating?" Jiang Zhao said roguely.

Seeing her like this, Si Mubai smiled helplessly, and then took out all the money on his body and bet it on Jiang Zhao's name.

Si Mubai's money is much more than Jiang Zhao's. It seems that after the announcement of the rankings, he can make a lot of money again.

However, Jiang Zhao looked at him carefully and said, "You still say I cheated, isn't that also cheating?"

Si Mubai smiled, and said, "Brother, I only bet on Jiang Zhao because of the nice name."

Jiang Zhao snorted, turned his head and did not speak.

Wei Xiang also silently took out the pocket money Jiang Zhao gave him before, threw it on the stall, and threw two words: "Jiang Zhao."

Jiuqi usually has a monthly allowance of silver, he took out the silver, and originally pledged it to his young master.

But under the threat of Jiang Zhao, the hand holding the silver abruptly turned a corner and put Jiang Zhao's name on it.

The gambling stall owner saw that four people came to give money, and handed the gambling tickets to the four with a smile on his face.

Jiang Zhao gave Wei Xiang the betting ticket and asked him to keep it, and then the three of them continued to squat on the side of the street waiting for the announcement.
