[Comprehensive] The number one cannon fodder

Seeing someone coming to announce the good news, Zhou Wenbin looked at Chen Xiaosheng and Wen Zhengming, and raised his voice and asked, "Who is the second place? Is it from Jiangnan?"

A student from the north shouted displeasedly: "So you from Jiangnan still want to round up your first class? You can't be so utilitarian as a student!"

Zhou Wenbin ignored him, just stared at the announcer and asked, "Say it quickly!"

All the students surrounded the announcer, even Tang Bohu and Tang Guangde got up and came over.The servant of the Tang family squeezed in desperately, grabbed the note and opened it, reading: "No. [-]—Jiangnan...er...Jiangnan Zhuzhishan?"

The boy looked at Tang Bohu in astonishment, he couldn't understand why Chen Xiaosheng got the second place, while Zhou Wenbin and the others laughed excitedly.Zhou Wenbin patted Chen Xiaosheng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I said that your ideas for fighting floods and disasters must work, and you are also a top-notch, Zhishan!"

Chen Xiaosheng held Su Xueyun's hand tightly, full of surprises in his heart, "I didn't expect that, I thought he was at most a middle-level Jinshi..."

Su Xueyun held his hand instead, and smiled softly: "This is the result you deserve. It's strange that you don't go to high school because you study so late every day. Hard work always pays off. I'm proud of you!"

Chen Xiaosheng smiled at her and said, "I will work harder in the future, and I will definitely make you carefree."

Su Xueyun smiled and rolled her eyes, took out a bulging money bag and put it in the hand of the announcer, who thanked her repeatedly and said auspicious words one after another.

Others talked a lot, saying that Jiangnan already had two first-ranked students, and if the champion was from the north, it would be considered equal, but it would be a shame if there was another Jiangnan student.

Su Xueyun and the others exchanged glances, Wen Zhengming held his folding fan and inevitably became tense, An An put his palms together and prayed softly beside him.Su Xueyun smiled and said: "Don't worry so much, don't we know Zhengming's ability? If he doesn't win the first prize, it's totally unreasonable."

Su Xueyun's words are too hateful, but the atmosphere is already tense right now. Everyone is staring at the surroundings, seeing that no one is pleasing to the eye. There is no need to maintain the superficial harmony. It is better to be tough to the end and tell everyone that we The talented people here are so capable!

Only then did Tang Guangde come back to his senses, grabbed the boy's collar and asked, "Did you see clearly? Aren't you illiterate? How do you know whose name it is?"

The young man cried and said: "Master, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Wen are studying with the young master. The younger ones recognize their names. The younger ones really read it right. If you don't believe me, take a look."

Tang Guangde took the note, pushed him away, stared at the note as if trying to see through it!He muttered in his mouth: "Impossible! How is it possible? Zhu Zhishan and Zhou Wenbin are so much worse than Bohu. How could it be possible that they are all top-ranked in high school but don't have Bohu's name? This is impossible!"

Su Xueyun turned her head and saw Tang Bohu also had an expression of disbelief, and heard him say: "It's not over yet, I answered very well, Dad, let's wait."

Tang Guangde nodded and said: "Yes, yes! There is another good news. You must be the number one scholar. You are the number one talent in the south of the Yangtze River. There is no reason why you can't pass their exam!"

Zhou Wenbin snorted coldly and said, "It's up to you what you think, but don't belittle others and elevate yourself. The Enke test questions this time were newly changed on the day of the test, and the questions were written by the emperor himself. It doesn't matter if you pass the test or not." Instead of doubting this and that, you should reflect on what is wrong with yourself."

Tang Guangde said angrily: "You just passed the Tanhua exam. What are you proud of? My son beat you and is the number one talent. If you can get into Tanhua, he must be the number one!"

Zhou Wenbin glanced at Tang Bohu and ignored him.Su Xueyun and the others also went back and sat down. Seeing that Tang Bohu didn't refute, Su Xueyun felt a little unworthy of Wen Zhengming.Unfortunately, Wen Zhengming was always worried about Tang Bohu, and thought that Enke would have a good talk with Tang Bohu in the future. As a result, Tang Bohu knew that Wen Zhengming was the number one scholar, but he didn't even have a little bit of basic humility. It was really a waste of Wen Zhengming's efforts .

Wen Zhengming seemed to feel it too. After sitting down, he didn't say a word, but just looked in Tang Bohu's direction in a daze.There is only the last time to announce the good news, and it is very late at night, and the person who announces the good news has not come yet. The students who have passed the exam said that the competition will be fierce this time, and it may take a little later to send it. After all, it is a large reward. .Su Xueyun had never heard of such a way of announcing the good news before, so that everyone crowded in the Bolun Building at night, and the streets outside were full of people standing on both sides, and all the officials were ashamed of the guards who secretly threw the note. Clearly, but never care.But as soon as Su Xueyun arrived in the capital, she heard about such a tradition from the head of the Liuyi Guild, Shen. Since this world is like this, she had no choice but to wait here with everyone.

The tea was cold and then hot, hot and then cold, finally the stairs of Bolun Building rang!Master Shen has white hair and a red cloth strip tied on his forehead. He rushed up at a speed not suitable for his age. Chen Xiaosheng got closer to him, got up to support him, and said in surprise: "Master Shen, are you Annunciator? How did you make it look like this?"

Curator Shen sat on the stool, waved his hands and panted, "Forget it, those young people don't know how to respect the old and love the young at all, I was so caught up in the waist that my waist flashed, ouch, it hurts me to death."

Zhu Xiaolian asked suspiciously: "Master Shen, how can you still run so fast if your waist flashes?"

"I'm always strong! There's nothing I can do. The Six Arts Guild Hall can't make ends meet. I have to seize the opportunity to make money. It took me a whole night to grab this one time. It's really hard work!" Master Shen took the tea that Su Xueyun poured for him. After taking a sip, he finally regained his breath.

The students got impatient for a long time and kept asking who the No. [-] scholar was. An An also stomped her feet anxiously, "Master Shen, tell me quickly, is it Mr. Wen? I'm so anxious!"

Everyone stared at Curator Shen. He slowly took out a note from his half-fingered glove, cleared his throat, and read aloud: "This time the number one scholar in Enke is Jiangnan talent—Wen! Zheng! Ming!"

An An screamed and almost jumped up excitedly. She pulled Qiuxiang and said, "I've won! Mr. Wen has won! You've won the number one prize!"

Qiuxiang nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Yes, I really won. We were joking when we said that we covered Yijia, but who knew that we really won. All three of them won. It's great!"

Su Xueyun smiled and put the money bag into the hands of Hall Master Shen, and said: "Thank you Master Shen, this time you not only made a lot of money, but the three of them also won glory for the Six Arts Club, presumably the Six Arts Club in the capital will also will prosper."

Master Shen patted his thigh and said with a smile: "Isn't that right? I was laughing while grabbing it just now. The first ones are all students from our Six Arts Guild Hall, and No.5 is still my student. I can wake up laughing from my dreams. Brother." He has taught a few good apprentices, by the way, I heard that you are a closed disciple of senior brother, come and play chess with me when you are free, in the future we will have more students in the Six Arts Guild Hall, and I won’t have to go out to make money every day.”

Su Xueyun nodded and smiled, "We will visit you often, you are our uncle, remember to come to our house when you have time."

Curator Shen nodded happily, "Okay, okay, okay!"

Tang Guangde suddenly said loudly: "This is impossible! What kind of shit is grabbing the top five? What is the good news? Maybe you changed the result."

Master Shen said speechlessly: "Are you stupid? We snatch the top five to announce the good news in order to get the first silver. What good will it do us to change the result? Will we give more money after the change? Then wait for the first prize in the imperial list." Doesn’t posting reveal the truth? If someone really cheated, this tradition would not have been passed on for so long!”

Tang Guangde shook his head and said: "In short, if I say it's impossible, it's impossible. I don't believe in this result. I'll be the first to read it when the imperial list is posted. If there is any mistake, don't think about it for the five of you who announce the good news!"

Master Shen gave him a surprised look, and said, "My senior brother said that you are old-fashioned, and I thought he was exaggerating. It turns out that you have such a strange personality. Sigh, what's the big deal if I fail in a scientific examination? You can call you My son will take the exam in three years, and besides, he has a good literary talent, I think he won the Jinshi, and the Jinshi is also very good, many people will never pass the exam in their lifetime."

Tang Guangde excitedly said: "What do you know? The four of them came from Jiangnan together, and they are collectively called the Four Great Talents in Jiangnan, but my son is the most outstanding one. He is the number one talented person in Jiangnan, and everyone in Suzhou knows it. Why are the three of them doing better than my son?"

Su Xueyun looked at Tang Bohu, and saw that this man seemed to be immersed in his own world, as if he couldn't accept this result, and couldn't help frowning in disgust.

All the students were a little shaken after hearing Tang Guangde's words, and there was a lot of discussion. The main reason is that this time, the first class is all Jiangnan students, or people they met together. They couldn't help but think a little bit more, and all kinds of conspiracy theories came out.

Su Xueyun saw that the scene was a bit chaotic, and the crowd surrounded them as if they were trying to find fault, so she raised her voice and said: "Everyone, there is no mistake in the first grade approved by the emperor, as for whether the announcer made a mistake, we just have to wait for the release of the emperor's list." , everyone will be clear. Regardless of whether the ranking is real or not, only the five of us have given the money, and everyone has not lost the slightest. In my opinion, everyone should go back and rest early, and get enough energy to wait for the imperial list."

Some of those who didn't pass the previous exam naturally had no objection, and left after two congratulations.The others looked at each other and didn't say anything, at most they only left a sentence like "if you dare to lie, we'll see".Tang Bohu lowered his head and didn't even look at them, but he was very unwilling to say what he said, "Father, Zhaorong, let's go. The truth will be known when the imperial list is posted, maybe it's really a mistake?"

Tang Guangde snorted, and the three of them left together.An An said angrily to Wen Zhengming: "Mr. Wen, you saw it, who is that? You don't want to talk to him from now on!"

Su Xueyun didn't know how to comfort Wen Zhengming, so she could only say: "Zhengming, you have more important things to do now, don't forget that Pin Ting is still waiting for you. Have you thought about what to say when you meet the emperor?" ?”

Wen Zhengming was immediately distracted, "Yes, how can I ask the emperor to marry me?"
