This continued until after noon. A rough calculation showed that there were more than 300 candidates in the restaurant, and 60 to 70 people actually won.
This is no wonder. After all, the college entrance examination is not as cruel as the provincial examination, and the admission rate is not that low. It is probably one out of four.
The candidates spontaneously and consciously counted the number of Chinese students in each province. Among them, Zhejiang ranked first, with as many as 12 people.
Jiangning Prefecture alone in Jiangnan Province has three wins, and Suzhou Prefecture, which has a gathering of people, also has three, but the entire province has only ten wins, and its overall strength is still inferior to Zhejiang.
Below these two provinces are Fujian and Jiangxi, each with eight candidates, and then Shandong, Huguang, Sichuan, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, Guangxi..., each with a number of candidates.
The more than 300 candidates in the restaurant come from all over the world, and they are probably the epitome of the 3,000 candidates in the current examination. The number of Zhejiang Chinese-style candidates is firmly ranked first, which shows that the candidates in Zhejiang are indeed confident.
Not long after, several more applicants ran in and went to the pile of Henan candidates to announce that this candidate had won the twentieth place.
However, even with the person just now, there are only four Chinese candidates from Henan in the restaurant, ranking in the middle and lower reaches among the provinces, which is considered a poor performance.
Henan is a land in the capital, and among the candidates there are many children from aristocratic families, who are quite competitive. At that moment, a legitimate son of an earl took out his money and asked the reporter: "How is the situation outside? Jin Ke How many people have been selected in Henan Province? Are there any children from Youjue families?" The applicant put the money into his arms and replied with a smile: "I don't know the top ten candidates yet. At the moment, the Chinese candidates from Henan Province do not count. There are only twenty-five people in total. The highest ranking is the third young master of the Sheng family in Jiying Lane, who won the thirteenth place. As for the children of the Youjue family... I heard that the young master of the Duke of Qi family The two men from the Ningyuan Hou Mansion were both hit, one was thirty-sixth and the other was twenty-second."
"Second brother Gu actually won!" The earl's legitimate son showed little interest in the others, but when he heard Gu Tingye's Chinese style, he was overjoyed and took out another gold ingot and rewarded it to the person who reported it.
It seemed that he and Gu Tingye were quite familiar with each other, maybe they were good friends who used to have a lot of fun together, so he was so proud to hear Gu Tingye's Chinese style.
The reporter took the huge gold ingot and thanked him profusely for his kindness. He didn't even bother to take a breath and went out to rush to the next stop.
Man dies for wealth, and birds dies for food. Today’s harvest in one day is equal to that in a normal year, and not a moment can be wasted.
As time goes by, the frequency of good news becomes less and less, and the ranking of Chinese people becomes higher and higher, reaching the top ten in the blink of an eye.
Once you get to this level, it's a step from heaven to hell. If you don't make it, you'll have to fail and have to start all over again and go through another three years of torture.
Therefore, when I heard the sound coming from outside again
Everyone held their breath unconsciously when the horses' hooves sounded. For a moment, the atmosphere in the restaurant was almost stagnant.
"The good news is that the master of Wendeng County, Dengzhou, Shandong Province, Liao Shiyu, is the tenth tribute scholar in the Tianyou Nine-year Examination of the High School, and the Holy Master of Jinluan Hall!" This Liao Shiyu was one of the scholars who accompanied Wei Chen to Yuzhou in the past, and Chen They were classmates at that time, and the two of them got along very well.
When Chen Shao heard that Liao Shiyu won the tenth place, he was overjoyed and immediately raised his glass to toast him.
Liao Shiyu sent away the reporter and crossed the crowd to walk to Chen Shao. Chen Shao cupped his hands and congratulated him, but Liao Shiyu smiled bitterly and said: "I'm ashamed, I was so hungry during the third exam. I wrote the next few articles hastily." , I really have no face to face the teacher." If others hear what Liao Shiyu said,
The "Versailles"-style complaints made people want to beat him to death. However, Chen Shao nodded with deep understanding.
He had been classmates with Liao Shiyu for many years, and he knew Liao Shiyu's talents best. As one of the best disciples of Wei Chen's sect, Liao Shiyu definitely had the ability to pass into the top five in the examination, but now he only ranked tenth, which was indeed considered abnormal.
Chen Shao immediately comforted him: "An Dao, it's okay. There will be a palace examination after the general examination. It's not unprecedented for the top ten to become the number one scholar in the general examination." Hearing this, Liao Shiyu couldn't help rolling his eyes and shaking his head lightly. He sighed: "Well, as long as you, Chen Zichun, are here, even if I have more brains during the imperial examination, I won't be able to get the top prize!" Chen Shao smiled, but did not deny it.
While the two were talking, another reporter came in to announce the good news: "Good news: Zheng Xian, the master of Shanyin County, Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, the sixth tribute scholar in the Tianyou Ninth Annual Examination of the high school, the top saint of Jinluan Hall!" Zheng Xian thought he was the master! The Huiyuan talent was naturally a little disappointed when he heard this title, but he was secretly relieved.
Although it was a pity that he failed to win the Zhonghui Yuan, he finally got the sixth place in Ya Kui. Except for Wu Jing Kui who was listed alone, he was already ranked first on the main list.
Zheng Xian raised his eyes and looked at the street outside the courtyard. He couldn't help but feel quite satisfied when he saw that no one who reported the registration had appeared again. At least in this restaurant, no one should be able to surpass him in ranking.
So Zheng Xian drank a small drink happily, accepted the toasts and compliments from the surrounding villagers, and enjoyed his own moment of glory.
After a long time, Zheng Xian was already drunk, but the sound of horse hooves was heard again outside the hospital.
As the sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, there was a sudden silence in the restaurant. The Zhejiang candidates who were changing glasses also felt their hearts skip a beat. They looked away from Zheng Xian and turned to look outside the hospital.
As we all know, good news is sent out in order from low to high. It has been a long time since Zheng Xian's good news. Zheng Xian is sixth, a dignified Ya Kui!
Good news comes again at this time, isn't it? Zheng Xian also realized this. He suddenly lost all his alcohol and regained his consciousness. He looked at the reporter with disbelief as he had already stepped into the courtyard with one leg.
This small restaurant is actually a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger? Who could this person be? Just when Zheng Xian and a group of Zhejiang candidates were wondering and looking at the suspicious people in the restaurant, the leading reporter had already shouted joyfully: "Good news——", Mr. Chen Yishao High School, God Bless Nine, Taicang Prefecture, Suzhou, Jiangnan The first place in the annual meeting, Huiyuan, will be interviewed by the foreman at the Jinluan Hall! "Boom!
After a moment of silence, the restaurant exploded in an instant. More than 300 people exclaimed and sighed in unison. The movement seemed to overthrow the entire three-story building!
Jinke Huiyuan is actually beside us? After bowing to Liao Shiyu beside him, Chen Shao straightened his clothes and slowly stepped out of the crowd under the spotlight. His demeanor was still calm and unhurried, just like his teacher Wei Chen.
"Taicang Chen Shao is here!" The restaurant hall became silent again.
"Bah!" Everyone followed the sound, but saw Zheng Xian's face full of astonishment. The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground at some point, and a large area of his clothes was soaked with wine, leaving a mess on the ground.
