Qin Guan, who passed the exam, was very happy. He also experienced the feeling of being named on the gold medal list.

Of course, what made him even more happy was that the second system task was finally completed.

The system rewards have been distributed, but Qin Guan has no time to check the system now. He has been surrounded by congratulatory crowds, and he is surrounded by voices congratulating him on passing the exam.

Today's Qin Mansion can be described as having a double happiness. The two young masters of Qin have both passed the examination. What a glorious thing it is.

Someone asked the officer, "What is the rank of the 72nd Young Master Qin?"

Everyone looked at it curiously.

The two officers looked at each other, and one of them said a little embarrassedly: "Yes, I came in last in the provincial examination."

Everyone was stunned, and then someone said: "There are more than 3,000 scholars, but only 72 people can pass the examination. It is a great blessing that the two young masters of the Qin family can go to high school together."

"That's right, there are still more than 3,000 people who can't pass the exam."

Qin Guan was also stunned for a moment, and then he was relieved. What happened to the last one? The last one was also Juren.

The two officers each received two guan of money, and the officers left with satisfaction. The two guan of money was enough for them to earn a month's wages.

The Qin Mansion carried out another basket of copper coins and scattered them among the crowd. These coins were full of talent. It is said that hanging the coins on the children's bedside can make the children read more intelligently.

There was a big banquet for guests in the Qin Mansion, and the neighbors came to congratulate each other. It was extremely lively for a while.

Liu Mansion.

Everyone in the hall kept chatting, but the more people chatted, the lower their voices became. Some people noticed that Liu Su's brows were wrinkled, and he was already a little impatient.

So far, no one has come to announce the good news. Could it be that he failed the exam? Liu Su doesn't want to accept this reality.

I took a breath and said to myself, wait.

At this time, a servant came in. He was a little hesitant after seeing Liu Su, but finally walked up to him and whispered: "Young Master, the announcement of the results just now has ended. Only seventy-two people have been selected this time."

Everyone in the hall had already silenced themselves. The servants of the Liu family said that the good news had stopped, which meant that Liu Su had not passed the provincial examination at all. Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.

Came early.

Someone started talking to ease the embarrassment and said: "Only seventy-two people were selected? This year there are three fewer people than the last year."

"I heard from many students that the questions in this provincial examination are relatively difficult."

Someone asked curiously: "Who is the last one?"

The servants of the Liu Mansion hesitated for a moment, and finally replied: "It's Qin Guan of the Qin Family in Hangzhou."

Hearing these words, Liu Su was stunned, and suddenly felt a heart-wrenching feeling in his heart. If there were other people who were better at studying than him, he would have accepted it, but he didn't pass the exam, but Qin Guan did.

.

Am I not as good as that playboy Qin Guan?

Liu Su's face became very ugly.

When the others saw this, they all chose to leave. Liu Su stood up and walked back to the backyard. When he opened the door, a maid came out with a teapot. The teapot fell to the ground with a crash and broke into pieces.

Liu Su raised his hand and slapped him.

With a snap, there was a mark of five fingers on the maid's face. The maid threw herself to the ground, her palm just pressed on the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and blood immediately flowed out.

The housekeeper came over quickly and wanted to scold the maid, but Liu Su said coldly: "Sell it."

The maid was stunned for a moment, then cried loudly and begged: "Master, I will be careful in the future. Please don't sell me, I won't make another mistake."

If she sells it, who knows if there will be a more miserable life waiting for her. If she accidentally enters a brothel, her life will really be over.

Liu Suli ignored the maid's plea and went back to the room.

Just as the Qin family was celebrating Qin Wei's success in the Qin examination, a memorial had been rushed to the capital three hundred miles away, and was then placed on the emperor's desk through the chamberlain.

There was a table in the imperial garden. The emperor, dressed in casual clothes, was sitting in front of the table and carefully painted a bird. The bird was covered in colorful feathers, had a beak and yellow claws, and was standing on a plum tree. His eyes were very smart.

It took two days to finally finish the painting, and the emperor was in a good mood.

The maids carried the basin, and the emperor wiped his hands after washing them. An old eunuch standing nearby came forward with a smile and said: "My lord, this oriole of yours is really alive. I was always worried just now. If I accidentally do this,

The bird is about to fly away."

"You have such a mouth, you can only say that you are no longer on duty in the study, why did you come to the imperial garden?" The emperor picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The water was just right.

"Thank you, Bachelor, for sending me a three-hundred-mile expedited memorial. I didn't dare to neglect it, so I sent it to you," the eunuch said.

"Oh, didn't Mingtang go to preside over the Jiangnan Township Examination? At this time, an urgent memorial was sent. Could it be that something happened in the Jiangnan Township Examination? Bring it to me." The emperor frowned and asked.

The old eunuch hurriedly presented the memorial. What surprised the emperor was that there was a thick volume tied to the memorial. After opening the memorial and reading it, the emperor understood the whole story.

He opened Qin Guan's test paper and looked at it carefully. As soon as he opened it, the emperor was attracted by the words on Qin Guan's book. He couldn't help but say: "It's really good calligraphy, regular and graceful, fair and round. I

I have never seen such a font before. I think it must be the font that the student practiced by himself. It is really a rare and good calligraphy."

The current saint is in his forties, slightly fat, with a mustache and a very energetic appearance. He loves calligraphy and painting. He liked Qin Guan's calligraphy very much when he saw it.

I read Qin Guan's paper again. The first part was fine, but when I saw Qin Guan's piece "There are Things Mixed into Fu", I liked it very much. After reading it, I read it again, and the more I savored it, the more I read it.

I liked it, so I murmured: "This poem, even if it is put in the palace examination, it will be in the top three."

After reading the poem at the end, he also liked the poem about autumn very much.

In the memorial, Xie Mingtang apologized, saying that he did not check for a while, causing the test questions to be similar, and asked for punishment. He also proposed to issue a catalog of test questions in the future to avoid similar things happening in the future. The memorial finally said that he had already selected the candidate, but he did not

He came in last place.

The emperor smiled after reading this, "Thank you for your reputation, your knowledge and ability are excellent, but sometimes you are a little cautious in doing things. For this kind of thing, you have to send three hundred miles to rush to apologize to yourself. It is too cautious."

He casually ordered the eunuch standing aside: "Inform the two husbands on duty today to come to the imperial study room for business in half an hour."

The eunuch took the order and went.
