The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 31

[31.Chapter 31 Release of the List]

Seeing the eunuch’s back quickly disappearing, the officials began to recover from their shock, and some began to whisper.

Obviously, this is an incredible thing. No one can understand it no matter how hard they think, why are the people in high school the three talented people who everyone sympathizes with?

But at this time, Emperor Hongzhi thought of something again, opened his eyes, and said: “Immediately pass the order and order people to go to the academy to ask, what are the results of these three people in the college examination?”

Yes, look at these three people. The level of a person is very simple, you only need to know their last test score.

So the palace was in chaos. This year’s candidates all have academic status, and their academic examination results are recorded in the student status. It is difficult for ordinary people to check, but for the palace, it is It couldn’t be easier.

Then came the anxious waiting. Half an hour later, a eunuch came panting, prostrated himself in the tunnel and said: “Your Majesty, I have found out that these three people did not do well in the college examination. Only Ouyang Zhi did not do well.” It’s better, but in Baoding Mansion, they are only second-class expansion students. The other two are even worse, especially Liu Wenshan, who almost lost his reputation. “

Everyone took a breath again, this was obvious. They are three scumbags.

But unfortunately, these three scumbags directly dominated the rankings just because of Fang Jifan.

“This person…” Emperor Hongzhi paused. Everyone knew who the person the emperor was referring to was, but thinking about this person made everyone feel a little embarrassed. Isn’t this person just a scumbag? ?

At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi’s eyes fell on the Crown Prince Zhu Houzhao. His eyes were a little indescribably complicated, but immediately, the emperor just said calmly: “Let’s release the results.”

…

The day when the results are released is always lively.

Fang Jifan packed up his things early in the morning, and happily took the carriage out with his three disciples.

Having worked so hard to teach three disciples, this was a big deal. Fang Jifan even felt that the teacher-student system of the ancients was really good. If he brought these disciples under his own door, as long as he had a future, he would be a great success. They are also three movable long-term meal tickets. As a teacher…ahem…I might even be able to eat you in the next life.

Of course…that’s not important right now.

It is important for Fang Jifan to test his results.

There are too many things from this era in my mind, such as ebony, returning to the old world, and exam questions. In short, it is like a huge treasure with too many things worth exploring.

If the test questions can be achieved this time, then the next step is to try hard in one go.

But Fang Jifan is still a little uneasy. These three guys are really not very talented. They can’t be elm-headed. Otherwise, if they don’t win, it will be a big loss. In the past half month, the three mouths have almost lost their ability. Fang Jifan is poor and may still be a burden in the future.

When we arrived at the gate of Fuxue, the place was already crowded and noisy. Scholars in turbans and Confucian shirts were everywhere, forming a sea of people.

Fang Jifan, who was wearing a gold belt, was leading the charge while waving the Xiang Fei fan. Deng Jian was pushing aside the crowd, but Ouyang Zhi and the other three seemed hesitant. As soon as they appeared, someone immediately recognized them: “Brother Ouyang, Brother Liu…”

As soon as everyone heard the words Brother Ouyang and Brother Liu, many people raised their eyebrows to take a look.

“Are these…those three people?”

“That’s them!”

Then everyone’s eyes fell unanimously on the man wearing a gold belt and dressed in gorgeous clothes. The jewelry on his body was so dazzling that it almost made people blind. On Fang Jifan.

Ouyang Zhi and the others immediately received countless sympathy.

More people looked at Fang Jifan with disdain. Even though his family is not as rich or as high-ranking as yours, they still despise you.

Fang Jifan acted as if no one was around. The biggest advantage of this prodigal son was that once he was recognized, he seemed to have a protective eye. Before he could squeeze out the crowd, the crowded scholar consciously separated a wide path. .

After reaching the bottom of the list, of course, the place for this list is still empty, obviously the release of the list has not started yet.

Fang Jifan stood still, and Ouyang Zhi and the others waited anxiously.

“Brother Ouyang, Brother Ouyang…” At this time, an urgent voice was heard from behind.

Looking back, it turned out to be Wang Jianren. As soon as Wang Jianren saw Ouyang Zhi, he said, “Oh no, this is bad.”

Ouyang Zhi was stunned and looked at Wang Jianren without knowing why.

Wang Jianren beat his chest and said, “After I went back, I thought about it afterwards. It seems that I made a mistake in writing a word when I was doing the question. This is terrible. I thought I would definitely get the first place, but just this time The difference in words may cause the examiner’s displeasure, and it is very likely that I will fall into second place. Sigh… If I only get second place in the exam, I will not be able to see the elders in my hometown.”

He looked very annoyed. look.

Fang Jifan’s eyelids jumped when he heard this, and he couldn’t help but look sideways at the heartbroken Wang Jianren.

“Hey… come on, this is fate, second best is second best. It’s just that I was at the top of the case every time in the county examination, government examination, hospital examination, even the elementary and middle school examinations, but I failed in this rural examination. Falling down is really the most regrettable thing in my life…”

Wang Jianren sighed again.

Ouyang Zhi is an honest man, but he doesn’t know how to comfort him.

Wang Jianren then smiled at Ouyang Zhi and said, “Brother Ouyang, I wish you the best this time. Even if you are only at the end, if you are really lucky and get a meritorious title, you will be able to honor your ancestors. Examinations may not be possible.” As far as academics are concerned, it all depends on luck. If luck comes, there is no telling if you can succeed. “

How do you hear this? How can it be harsh?

Fang Jifan felt uncomfortable all over. This was an insult to his disciple. To beat a dog, it depends on the owner… Well, it seems that his disciple cannot be called a dog. Well, it should be a dog looking down on others.

Fang Jifan was about to have a discussion with Wang Jianren when he heard someone shouting excitedly: “The results have been released, the results have been released!”

Suddenly, there was a crowd of people, and countless people raised their necks and raised their feet.

Fang Jifan also held his breath.

Wang Jianren was still complaining just now, but he suddenly stopped and stared at the list.

He searched frantically, and when the list was finally posted, he quickly set his sights on the top spot.

The first one is Jieyuan, Jieyuan, this is very different from the ordinary Juren.

Just…

suddenly, his face turned pale.

Not myself!

The name above is not Wang An’s, but… Ouyang Zhi…

Ouyang Zhi?

He hurriedly looked down the list…Jiang Chen…

third…Liu Wenshan.

Pfft…

He suddenly felt that his throat was very dry.

I am neither in the first place, nor in the second place, nor even in the third place.

In this rage, a mouthful of old blood spurted out. He barely stood up. He didn’t even have time to think about who Ouyang Zhi was, because now his mind was just a ball of mush. The fourth… not… the fifth… …Not at all… It wasn’t until the sixth time that he saw his name…

The sixth time…

His throat rolled, and then, as if all the strength in his body had been drained, he felt like the world was spinning and he was about to faint.

But in his ears, countless exclamations could be heard: “Ouyang Zhi…Jiang Chen…Liu Wenshan…”

The voices of countless people soared into the sky.

Ouyang Zhi was so excited that he couldn’t control himself, and he was trembling all over.

Fang Jifan was even more excited than Ouyang Zhi and the others. He hit, hit, even better than expected. He actually took the top three, without giving anyone else any chance.

Phew…

these three candidates are all his disciples, and one of them is Jieyuan!

Then, he heard someone around him saying ecstatically: “I’ve been hit too, I’ve been hit too.”

But more people were ashen-faced and crying profusely.
