After being confused, Zhang Xuezheng thought to himself, what does this mean?
Is King Huainan kidding himself?
After he praised him so much, the person he ordered in person was the examinee who asked him to open the back door for him?
This person has such talent, what backdoor is he going to use?
You can remove all the door panels of the front door just by using the article!
Zhang Xuezheng felt that his mind couldn't move for a while.
The people next to him heard his exclamation and asked curiously: "Do you know this candidate?"
Zhang Xuezheng came to his senses and replied with a complicated expression: "No, I don't know him."
"I am just amazed that a candidate who can write such a magnificent essay is actually a little-known farmer..."
"Farmer?"
Other marking officers also sighed: "You have such good taste, sir."
"It is truly a blessing for this candidate to be so valued by adults."
When this person said this, Zhang Xuezheng suddenly had an idea.
This student named Su Yu is not well known, but he can write such wonderful articles.
So King Huainan also valued this student's future and informed him in advance so that the candidate's score would not be stuck due to accidents?
Rather than what he imagined, this person had to go through the back door to complete the imperial examination because he had no ability?
It should be like this...
Zhang Xuezheng was now sure that he had indeed thought wrong before.
He inquired from the beginning.
This student named Su Yu's grades in the imperial examination were mediocre, but he was missed in the list and was admitted in the government examination.
It was said to be a supplementary recording, but he could figure out what was wrong with it with his toes.
In other words, the article on the Renfu Examination was definitely not very well written.
The college examination was only two or three months away from the government examination. How could he suddenly write such a good article in such a short period of time?
The exam questions were all written by Zhang Xuezheng himself.
He knows better than anyone whether there is any leakage.
This article should have been written by Su Yu himself.
But it cannot be ruled out that the King of Huainan also used other means to write some heroic articles for Su Yu to memorize.
This reason is a bit ridiculous, but it is not impossible.
Zhang Xuezheng felt that his suspicion was quite reasonable.
"Master Academician, these articles have also been unpacked."
Zhang Xuezheng thought a lot.
After coming back to his senses, he put down the paper he had been holding in his hands.
Not in a hurry.
There will be a banquet after the trial case is released in the hospital.
At that time, at the banquet, he would personally test this person.
Let's see if Su Yu can be worthy of being named the head of the case by himself!
"Well, leave it alone."
Now that the article asking him to use the back door has been found, there is no need to read the rest.
Zhang Xuezheng flipped through it casually and found two similar articles and ranked them at the back. This marking was over.
...
After the rankings are sorted out.
The craftsmen of Fu Xue rushed to solve the case.
On the day of the incident, the scholars who were still in Fucheng came out in large numbers and gathered outside the school gate, waiting for the Yamen to publish the list.
Some who didn't dare to see it with their own eyes stayed in the inn waiting for the news to come.
Su Yu has been extremely busy these days, and he forgot about this for a while.
Before going out, Gu Changle said he would wait before going out.
Su Yu thought something was wrong with her, so he drank tea for a while in the main room with Old Man Gu, who didn't go out today.
Gu Changle walked out of the house, holding in his hand the small basket that he used to store pen and ink in Qiushui Village to write letters to the villagers.
Su Yu glanced curiously.
"So many copper coins and red seals?"
There were a lot of copper coins piled in the small basket, and there were also many wrapped red envelopes buried in the middle.
Gu Changle smiled and said: "Today the hospital will release the test results."
"Someone else will come to announce the good news later, so I have to prepare the reward in advance."
Su Yu then remembered that he was going to take the discharge test results today.
Sure enough, time flies very quickly when people have something to do.
Gu Changle added: "Erlang has already gone to the school temple to wait."
"I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."
It was obvious that Su Yu felt that he would survive this battle.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t be so well prepared.
In the past few days after the exam, the Gu family's grandfather and grandson never asked about Su Yu's results.
I didn’t expect to be so well prepared in advance.
"Do you really believe that I will survive?"
Su Yu teased in a funny way.
Gu Changle replied confidently: "Of course!"
"Didn't you say before that you will definitely pass this college examination?"
"I've always believed that."
"I also prepared firecrackers."
"When Erlang comes back to announce the good news, Dalang will light the firecrackers."
"By then, the remaining people who are announcing the good news will hear the sound of firecrackers and know how to find our home."
In addition to the people sent by the family to announce the good news, there are also special people who bring the good news.
These people will also stay at the place where the list is posted.
After the list comes out, they will rush to the homes of those students or the inns where they are temporarily staying to announce the good news.
These people are mainly looking for money.
Generally speaking, applications are based on ranking.
The higher the ranking, the more people come to announce the good news.
Old Man Gu on the side also smiled and echoed: "I asked Uncle Fu to book a table for you in the restaurant."
"After announcing the good news later, you can ask Erlang to help call your classmates to have a meal with you and congratulate you."
Is this all ready?
Su Yu was a little nervous at this time.
Although he also felt that there was a high probability that he would pass, but what if?
If you fail the test, it will be embarrassing.
At that time, I felt ashamed to face two people who believed in me so much.
Su Yu said a little embarrassedly: "There's no need to book a banquet in advance."
"Wait until it's confirmed before ordering..."
Old Man Gu laughed and said, "It's too late to order after you've made sure."
"Actually, we can do it at our house, but I'm afraid your classmates will be uncomfortable."
After all, this is the woman's home.
Su Yu was not a bride-in-law, so this kind of scene was not suitable for their family.
Taking this into consideration, Old Man Gu asked Uncle Fu to book another table at the restaurant.
Seeing that the two of them had arranged things so well, Su Yu suddenly felt a little stressed.
Although he was still sitting, he looked calm on the surface.
But in my heart, I already want to fly to the place where the results are published to see it in person.
Just sat there for a while.
Hongying is back from shopping for groceries.
She bought a lot of meat and vegetables, and it seems that there will be extra food at home tonight.
Waited for a while.
Still haven't seen Li Erlang come back.
Su Yu had some self-doubt.
Shouldn't it really be true?
Vaguely, Su Yu seemed to hear a strange shout coming from outside.
"Good news for the college exam! Good news for the college exam!"
It wasn't Li Erlang's voice.
Su Yu thought that it should be news from other candidates nearby.
The sound is getting closer.
Gu Changle and Old Man Gu also heard it.
The two of them had the same idea as Su Yu.
Logically speaking, although Su Yu was selected, his ranking was not high.
Even if there is someone who really brings the good news, he will not come so soon.
It must have been Li Erlang who came back first to see the list for them.
So this person should belong to someone else’s family?
The sound was getting closer and closer, and it became clearer and clearer.
"Good news!"
"Su Yu, a Confucian scholar from Baipo County, was awarded the first place in the academic examination by Zhang, the academic supervisor of the Academy!"
