"Master, you are hit!"
"nonsense."
Qin Zheng rolled his eyes, "Your young master, I am the head of the Lin'an Prefecture. If I don't get into the top three, won't I be laughed at by everyone in Huaiyuan Academy?"
What matters is whether he hits or not?
What matters is his ranking!
Qin Shan usually looks very smart, but why is he so unreliable at the critical moment?
"Ah, yes, yes, it's all because the little one can't speak. How could you not win, young master?"
Qin Shan also had a strong desire for survival. Hearing this, his face showed no trace of embarrassment but became brighter. He looked like he was in high school.
"Young man, you are ninth on the list!"
Qin Zheng was startled when he heard this, and suddenly laughed heartily.
"They say that I am the proud son of heaven. This is absolutely true."
He was indeed confident enough to pass the middle and high school exams, but there was still a big difference between middle and middle. According to Qin Zheng's own estimation, it was good to be in the middle of the list, but he didn't expect it. The ranking is actually so high.
Although everyone on the imperial list is a tribute, the higher the name is, the better the ranking will be.
Being ninth on the list, doesn't this mean that he is the proud man of heaven?
"Dad often says that this young master is useless except for eating, drinking and having fun. Now it seems that he doesn't look at me with admiration!"
Everyone: "..."
The students in Lin'an Mansion who were extremely happy for him originally wanted to sincerely congratulate him, but after hearing these words, they didn't want to speak at all.
No matter what you say, this guy doesn’t even need congratulations from others, he has already raised his tail to the sky!
Qin Zheng simply didn't care whether others congratulated him or not. He laughed heartily and then changed his attention.
"What about the rest of the people? Have you read all the names I asked you to write down?"
"Yes, yes, Qinshan, right? Did you see my name just now?"
"What about me?"
Qin Shan grinned again, "Young masters, don't worry, I don't have any other advantages except my good memory. I've written it all down!"
What if he was favored by the young master because he was smarter?
Not everyone can be entrusted with important tasks.
"Master Zhang's name is 36 on the first page, and Master Wang is the 6th on the second page..."
Facts have proved that Qin Shan's memory is really good. He can immediately say his name and corresponding ranking to every face that comes up to him, and he will spit out his words for a while.
Lin'an Mansion is worthy of being the hometown of students. The few people in the box who are familiar with Qin Zheng usually have high grades, so they are on the list without exception. Although some people are ranked lower, they can all find a job in the future. Official position.
When everyone thought that they would soon be officials, their hearts were filled with excitement, and the entire box was extremely lively.
Then, Qin Shan looked at the last person with burning eyes.
"Sen, Mr. Shen..."
Wang Zhi and others immediately slapped their foreheads with their hands, and then recovered from the ecstasy of their high school. Remembering that they were the first geniuses in Lin'an Mansion and did not know their grades, their faces were both ashamed and full of expectations.
"Hey, look at my memory!"
"Why did you forget Brother Shen? Give in, give in!"
"That's right, it's all my fault, I'm just looking out for myself, so what, what's Brother Shen's ranking?"
In the eyes of everyone, it is impossible for Shen Xingluo not to be on the list. The only thing that needs their attention is the ranking.
Qin Sha, you took a long breath under the blazing eyes of everyone, sighing in your heart that it was finally his turn to speak, and your back straightened again.
"Master Shen is the first, the first, Hui Yuan in this examination!"
"boom--"
There was an explosion in the box again.
"Brother Shen is actually number one, that's Huiyuan! Huiyuan!"
"I know, I know...Brother Shen deserves to be Brother Shen!"
Wang Zhi and others were immediately honored. Everyone screamed excitedly, and the congratulations on their lips were delivered for free. If others outside the box saw this, they might think that they had won the title of Huiyuan. It's them.
No way, they still have a great sense of belonging as students of Lin'an Prefecture. This kind of pride is simply beyond words.
What, you want to ask them why they are not jealous?
As classmates, they were very aware of the gap between them and Shen Xingluo. Some people were born to be beyond reach, and Shen Xingluo was one of them.
Just as everyone was congratulating, Wang Zhi moved to Qin Zheng's side and said, "Hey~ we are all the proud sons of heaven, why are there such big differences, right brother Qin?"
"..."
Your fucking test scores were not as good as mine. Is it really okay to be so proud?
Speechless, Qin Zheng was indeed the most calm among the people present. He rolled his eyes at Wang Zhi and imitated Shen Xingluo's behavior before, picking up the tea cup and taking a sip, pretending to be a master for a second.
"Why are you all so happy? Isn't it normal for Brother Shen to be at the top of the list?"
Isn't it normal that that monster is not at the top of the list?
Students from Lin'an Prefecture have always been popular candidates to compete for the top three in each scientific examination. What's more, Shen Xingluo's performance in Huaiyuan Academy is much better than ordinary people. Since he entered the academy, he has ranked first in every quiz. .
Over time, every smart person has figured out one thing:
This man is no longer a cow, but a pervert.
As soon as the words fell, the surroundings fell silent.
Qin Zheng looked at everyone in confusion, "What's wrong? Am I wrong?"
"..."
Wang Zhi and others had strange expressions, no, you are right, but can you not say it in such an admiring tone? This makes them look very surprised!

A restaurant not far from the tea house was also full of guests.
In a private room by the window, several women wearing gorgeous skirts sat opposite each other. Behind each of them were one or two maids dressed as maids. They looked either rich or noble.
"Huh? The results have been released, no wonder it's so lively downstairs."
"I don't know which young master will be among the lucky ones to win the first prize this year."
"Sister Xie is so concerned. Could it be that she is planning to consider her own life-long affairs?"
A woman in a yellow dress teased the girl in white opposite her, with a smile on her lips but a bit of sarcasm in her eyes.
"As a concubine of the Xie Mansion, my sister cannot marry the legitimate son of a noble family, but she is not worthy of a young boy who just walked out of nowhere, so there is no need to belittle oneself."
Xie Zhi's face paused slightly when he heard this, and soon returned to his original indifference, "Marriage matters are decided by the parents. How can we, as daughters, make the decision? Sister Song, please don't say this again. Not to mention the students downstairs. He is a disciple of the Emperor, and will be entrusted with important responsibilities by His Majesty in the future. How can we, the ladies in the boudoir, be allowed to say whatever we want?"
"Sister Xie's words are serious. Even if you win the top prize in one move, you will only be a sixth-rank Hanlin scholar. A small official with the size of a mung bean is completely unworthy in this capital."
Song Chan'er snorted coldly, looking down on Xie Zhi even more in her heart.
