Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 528 Ranking
Wang Fulai knew that his young master was extremely intelligent and thoughtful, no matter what happened, as long as he showed some clues, he couldn't escape her eyes.

Seeing the young master looking towards him at this time, he couldn't help but slightly nodded.

Du Jinning withdrew his gaze and followed everyone outside.

The level of the Tongsheng Examination in the past was too low to be recognized by the bigwigs in the court, and her examination papers were indeed outstanding, so it was normal to get the first case; but the rural examination is different, and it has been used by various factions to cultivate and select talents. channel.They do not allow other factions or "outsiders" who are not used by them to get Jieyuan.

Therefore, her expectations for the rural examination are not high.As long as you can pass the township examination smoothly, and your ranking is higher, you can enter the top [-].

Although there is no special significance in the top twenty, it is her bottom line.After all, in this prefecture, there are not many people with better grades than her.Although there are talents in the county, compared with the gentlemen in Fucheng, there is still a gap.Based on her level, she is unwilling and unconvinced to rank her beyond the top [-].

But looking at Wang Fulai like this, it seems that she won No.1, which made her suspicious, and she didn't quite believe that such a good thing would happen to her.

A group of people got into the carriage and went to the Gongyuan, and saw that the entrance of the Gongyuan was full of people, and the place where the list was posted was completely surrounded.

Everyone present was Mr. Pian Pianjia. Looking at those scholars whose hair was messed up, their clothes were torn, and there was only one shoe left, everyone felt terrified.

"Go in and look at the list." Qi Muyuan ordered a few boys.

When they went out to eat, they all brought their servants with them.These boys are young, energetic, and not afraid of losing face, so it's perfect to squeeze in to see the list.

After Aoki, Guanqi and the others agreed, they each showed their abilities and went into the crowd to watch the list.

Du Jinning and the others just stood there leisurely, chatting and waiting.

Although Aoki usually doesn't talk much, he is very clever.And in order to better protect Du Jinning's safety, Yao Shuqi specially invited someone to teach Aoki how to practice martial arts.Although Aoki is not as good as those who do small exercises, his skills are more flexible than ordinary people.With his ability, it is not difficult to get into the crowd before other boys to read the list.

But on the way he got hints from Wang Fulai, although he also pretended to squeeze in, he was always slower than watching chess and faster than the other boys.Because watching chess is also a practice of martial arts, and with the guidance of Liu Gao and others, the martial arts are much better than his half-way monk, and the speed of reading the list is normal.The other boys had never practiced martial arts, so it was unreasonable for him to be slower than them.

It wasn't until Guanqi squeezed in to see the list, and when he turned around and squeezed out, he squeezed to the front of the list and saw the ranking written on it.

The first one in the list is his family's young master Du Jinning.

No.2 is Qi Siyu.

No.3, Qi Muyuan.

Guan Jiaze was fifth, Fang Shaohua was tenth, Liang Xiankuan was eleventh, and Xu Chengyuan was nineteenth.

Seeing that his young master was at the top of the list, and the two sons-in-law were also on the list, and their rankings were quite high, Aoki was overjoyed immediately, and no longer cared about putting on a show, he turned around and squeezed out desperately, causing a series of curses.

Although Aoki didn't intend to slow down, he had opened up a gap with Guanqi before, and when he returned to Du Jinning, Guanqi had already reported the situation on the list to everyone.

Aoki took advantage of reporting to Du Jinning to observe Qi Muyuan's expression secretly from the corner of his eye.

He thought that Qi Muyuan would have high expectations for the provincial examination after knowing that there were people from their faction among the chief examiners, eager to get No. 1.After all, Qi Muyuan and his young master are usually on equal footing in the academy, but every time he always comes second in the imperial examination, no matter who he is, he will feel aggrieved.This time there is hope, but expectations are different.

Now not only did he not get the first place, he didn't even get the second place, only ranked third.If that's the case, it's hard to say whether Qi Muyuan will feel resentful and vent his anger on his young master.

This is also the reason why Wang Fulai clearly read the list and knew the rankings of the young masters early on, but pretended not to know and let others see the list first.

After all, his young master won the first place and Qi Muyuan won the third place. Should they be happy or unhappy?It would be too fake to show displeasure, and it would make people feel that they and even his young master are flatterers, who would not even dare to show happiness if they wanted to support the Qi family; if they were happy, would they To provoke Qi Muyuan's displeasure, and to blame his young master?

So it's better to avoid the limelight.

But now, when Qi Muyuan heard that he was No.3, he froze for a moment and then frowned. He turned around happily to congratulate Du Jinning. There was no injustice, jealousy or resentment in his expression. They all breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Muyuan didn't have any bad emotions, let alone the others.After this test, Du Jinning has always been No.1 and the leader of the desk, everyone is used to it.If Du Jinning didn't win the first place, everyone would feel strange and suspect that there was something shady about this scientific examination.

Du Jinning saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, and felt relieved, and felt how lucky she was to have such a group of broad-minded people as friends.

Although Guan Jiaze hadn't returned to Gui Province in the past two years, he had correspondence with Du Jinning and others, so he knew very clearly what happened in Gui Province.He was originally a person with a clear distinction between love and hate, and when he heard that Qi Siyu had won No.2, he couldn't help frowning: "Then Qi Siyu's talent is really so good, can he climb to Qi Muyuan's head?"

Qi Muyuan naturally knew that this was the result of a power struggle, but it was hard to say it out, and he said flatly: "Everyone has their own eyes. The township test, it's not that anyone who is usually high can be ranked first."

Guan Jiaze nodded and said nothing more.

Although they are standing here at a certain distance from others and will not be heard, it is better to be cautious in words and deeds during the imperial examination.If the questioning continues, someone will have to say that he is dissatisfied with the impartiality of the examiner.He is no longer the outspoken character he was in the government examination two years ago, so he naturally knows that it is not appropriate to talk too much at this time.

"Okay, let's go back. Tomorrow morning, we have to get up in the dark to enter the examination room." Du Jinning said.

Thinking of the second and third exams, no one dared to delay any longer, so they said hello and scattered away.

Du Jinning is a person with a very high emotional intelligence. She knows that Qi Muyuan may have nothing against her for being No. 1, but Qi Bokun is different.

If she didn't mention that she won the first place and just pretended to be confused, even if Qi Bokun couldn't blame her, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart.If she spoke frankly, not only would Qi Bokun not blame her, but he would feel that she was open-minded, not greedy, clearly understood her position, and might look at her more highly.
