"Master, Wang Wei, a student from Dongyang County, sent me an ancient book."
"Zhou Hao, a student from Baoning County, sent a calligraphy and painting."
"Wu Yong, a student from Chuanyu County, sent a pot of orchids."
…
Kong Wenbo's entourage held a long gift list and kept reading.
At this time, Kong Wenbo's elegant face frowned.
"Okay, no need to read it anymore."
"I didn't expect these scholars to be so stupid. My Kong family has as many ancient calligraphy and painting books as I want. What's the use of these things?"
Kong Wenbo said dissatisfied.
At this time, Kong Wenbo actually put his hand into the maid's clothes in front of this attendant.
Although the two maids looked disgusted, they did not dare to resist and could only let Kong Wenbo knead him.
The attendant on the side looked indifferent, obviously he was used to it.
"Master, the gift from this person is a bit special."
At this time, the attendant looked at the gift list and suddenly said with bright eyes.
After hearing this, Kong Wenbo immediately became interested.
"what gift?"
Kong Wenbo asked curiously.
"Wang Yu from Beiqiu County sent five thousand taels of silver and ten beauties."
The attendant read loudly.
Hearing this, Kong Wenbo's cloudy eyes were shining brightly.
"Hahahaha, one of these scholars is pretty smart."
"This person is number one."
Kong Wenbo said with a smile.
If those scholars were to see the articles they put so much effort into writing, Kong Wenbo would not even read them.
The rankings were decided directly, and I didn’t know what they would think.
The next day.
The gate of the county government office was crowded with scholars.
These scholars looked nervous, and amid their nervousness, there was also a hint of expectation.
Because today is the day when the rankings are announced.
At this time, Chen Fan was still at home, lying on the couch and enjoying the sun with a leisurely expression.
"Ms. sir, today is the day when the results will be released. Let's go and take a look!"
"Ms. sir, let's leave quickly! Otherwise, we won't be able to see anything later."
The sisters urged anxiously.
However, Chen Fan waved his hand calmly.
"Not going."
"Come and sit with me for a while."
Chen Fan said.
Seeing that Chen Fan didn't care at all, the two sisters felt helpless.
"Uncle Fu, please let someone go take a look. Come back and tell us as soon as the rankings come out."
If Chen Fan didn't go, the sisters couldn't go by themselves, so they had no choice but to let Uncle Fu go.
When Chen Fan saw this, his eyes showed a bit of helplessness. The last time he helped the two sisters change their minds, it didn't seem to have much effect!
At this time, the county government door opened amidst everyone's expectations.
Several officials came out with the list.
When the scholar saw this, he immediately became quiet and stared at the list in the officer's hand.
The official posted the list on the wall outside the county government office, and these scholars immediately flocked to the place.
"First place, Wang Yu from Beiqiu County."
"Second place, Hu Ke, Nanqing County."
"Third place, Li Hao from Yongxing County."
…
"The last one is Chen Fan from Dongyang County."
When people looked at the top three on the list, they were immediately dumbfounded.
Not one of the top three was from Dongyang County.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. I know this Wang Yu, but he is not at the level of first place."
"The second place, Hu Ke, was my classmate before. Apart from a little money from his family, he has no talent at all. How can he be ranked second?"
"With Mr. Chen Fan's talent, how can he be the last one?"
"There must be something fishy here."
…
The scholar shouted with dissatisfaction.
The news soon spread to the Chen family.
"Ms. sir, how could you be the last one?"
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. Did Kong Wenbo make a mistake?"
…
The two sisters said with disbelief.
However, Chen Fan was very indifferent.
Because the article written by Chen Fan was extremely unusual for Daxia at this time.
When writing this, Chen Fan had no expectations for this ranking.
"Now those scholars are very dissatisfied and are asking Kong Wenbo to review it again."
"Ms. sir, you still have a chance."
the sisters said soothingly.
Hearing this, Chen Fan's lips turned up, revealing a smile.
"The ending has been decided."
"If this ranking was made by Ding Mingcheng or Zhao Da, I'm afraid they would be afraid of scholars and compromise and review it again."
"But Kong Wenbo definitely won't, because he is not afraid of scholars at all."
Chen Fan said with a smile.
These words made the sisters puzzled. Why was Kong Wenbo not worried about the dissatisfaction of the scholars?
"It's not fair. Please ask Mr. Kong to review again."
"The ranking shouldn't be like this. Did Mr. Kong make a mistake?"
…
Outside the county government office, the scholars shouted angrily.
However, although they were angry, no one dared to speak harshly to Kong Wenbo.
The tone was still full of respect.
Soon, the door of the county government opened again, and Kong Wenbo, dressed in Confucian attire, walked out.
"I've met Mr. Kong."
The scholars who looked angry just now bowed to Kong Wenbo with respect.
Kong Wenbo nodded lightly.
"As scholars, it is unbecoming for you to make such a fuss here."
Kong Wenbo looked at these scholars with a serious face and shouted angrily.
It's like a teacher teaching a student.
The scholar immediately lowered his head and did not dare to refute.
Kong Wenbo looked at the attitudes of these scholars, and a proud smile appeared on his lips.
"I heard that you question the ranking I decided?"
Kong Wenbo asked.
At this time, the scholars wanted to speak, but they showed a hint of timidity.
"Mr. Kong, the student has seen the articles written by Wang Yu before. How can he be the first with his level?"
After a while, a scholar plucked up the courage and said.
Hearing this, Kong Wenbo didn't show any panic on his face.
"You and Wang Yu are both scholars. What qualifications do you have to comment on Wang Yu's article?"
"I……"
"Do you think that with your level, you can tell the quality of Wang Yu's articles?"
"I……"
"Or do you think your level is higher than my level?"
Kong Wenbo asked several questions without giving the scholar a chance to speak.
"Or maybe you doubt the level of the Kong family?"
At this time, Kong Wenbo suddenly asked loudly.
"Students don't dare, students don't dare..."
Upon hearing this, the questioning scholar's face immediately turned pale, and he hurriedly said with a trembling voice.
The Confucian family is the orthodoxy of Confucianism. Anyone who has the reputation of questioning the Confucian family will be in opposition to the scholars in the world.
"what about you?"
Kong Wenbo looked at the scholars around him and said.
"Students don't dare."
The scholars all said at this time.
Kong Wenbo saw this and nodded with satisfaction.
"The rankings have been decided, you still need to work harder."
After Kong Wenbo finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the county government office.
Although the scholar was dissatisfied at this time, he did not dare to say anything more and could only leave with a disappointed look on his face.
"Mr. Kong is so awesome."
Ding Mingcheng and Zhao Da from the county government said sincerely.
Kong Wenbo waved his hand casually.
"Mr. Kong, you will take those three people back to Beijing tomorrow, and our plan will begin."
Ding Mingcheng said.
Then Ding Mingcheng approached Kong Wenbo and whispered: "Five exotic beauties have been sent to your room, Mr. Kong."
Hearing this, Kong Wenbo showed a smile that every man would understand.
Late at night, when Chen Fan had fallen asleep, Yan Bei suddenly came to Chen Fan's home.
"Yanbei, what happened in the middle of the night?"
Chen Fan said sleepily.
"Master Fan, I heard a piece of news..."
