Chapter 1546: Happy and Proud

October 8th, Deyi Tower.

Today is the day when the imperial court announces the results.

Early in the morning, the tribute students in Deyi Tower were eagerly waiting for the imperial court to announce the results.

Deyi Tower is extremely famous in the imperial city.

Although everyone knows that even if you live in Deyi Building, you may not be admitted to the college, but many people still want to pray for good luck and would rather spend a little more money to live in Deyi Building and try Deyi Building’s signature dish, Zhuangyuan Fish.

Opposite Deyi Tower, there is an inn called Chunfeng Tower.

The two stores connected together are just called Chunfengdeyi.

Chunfeng Tower also produced two top scholars, but in terms of fame, it is far less famous than Deyi Tower.

Not to mention anything else, just the calligraphy of Tang Shu hanging on Deyi Tower is enough to beat that of Chunfeng Tower.

Now Tang Shu is promoted to the position of left prime minister, a high-ranking official in the country. Tang Shu once left his calligraphy in Deyi Tower, which has become the treasure of Deyi Tower.

Upstairs in Chunfeng Tower, the disguised Emperor Wen and Qin Liugan and others asked for a guest room facing the street.

"Do you think the top scholar this time will come from Deyi Building or Chunfeng Building?"

Emperor Wen stuck his head out, looked at the crowded street and asked Qin Liugan.

"Who knows?"

Qin Liu dared to answer carelessly: "How do you know that this number one scholar is either from Chunfeng Tower or Deyi Tower? It can't be from somewhere else? If you say so, I should suspect that there is something fishy going on here."

How many inns are there in the imperial city?

Although most of the people who participated in the palace examination stayed in these two most famous inns.

But some of them live somewhere else.

Who knows where this top scholar came from?

"How about we make a bet?"

Emperor Wen asked with a smile.

"No gambling!"

Qin Liugan shook his head like a rattle, "You must know who the champion is. I'm not that stupid to bet with you that I'm bound to lose!"

"I said, could you please stop being such a downer?"

Emperor Wen was unhappy. "I promise, I don't know who the number one is! I never asked about the palace examination, so how would I know who the number one is?"

Qin Liugan stroked his chin and thought for a while, "Then I bet that the top scholar will come from either Chunfeng Tower or Deyi Tower!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wen couldn't help but laugh and scold: "Do you dare to be more shameless?"

This shameless old man!

He has bet on both Chunfeng Tower and Deyi Tower, so he can only bet on the others!

"Isn't this what you want to bet on?"

Qin Liu dared to chuckle.

"Okay! Then I'll bet with you!"

Emperor Wen smiled and said, "Whoever loses will leave his calligraphy on this Chunfeng Tower!"

"..."

Qin Liugan's old face twitched slightly, "Can we bet on something else?"

It is no problem for him to kill people and set fire to things.

But asking him to leave a calligraphy work is a bit difficult for him.

What if he loses and his words are hung here? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?

Emperor Wen turned his head and looked over. "You have already taken advantage of me, and you still want to bargain with me?"

"Row!"

Since Emperor Wen has said so, Qin Liugan no longer hesitated, "As long as you don't cheat, my chances of winning will definitely be greater!"

Emperor Wen glared at Qin Liugan with a smile, "Do you think I am you? When I was playing chess, I spent half of my time thinking about cheating!"

Qin Liugan just smiled but said nothing.

"Dang Dang Dang..."

At this moment, the sound of a gong suddenly rang in their ears.

As the gong sounded, the tribute students on the two floors suddenly became nervous.

The official has come to announce the good news!

Judging from the sound, it was obviously coming from Chunfeng Tower or Deyi Tower.

However, their tensions vary.

Some people are afraid that their names won't be called.

Some people, however, hope that their names will not be called at this moment.

Everyone knows that those who come to register now are those who are ranked lower.

The further back you go, the higher the ranking will be.

Under the nervous gaze of the crowd, a clerk riding a tall horse came to the door of Chunfeng Tower with a piece of good news.

"Congratulations to Mr. Yu Dengyu of Buyuan, Yizhou. He ranked 17th among the top three in high school..."

"Master Fang Yufang of He Yunzhou Shipan High School is ranked eighth among the top three..."

"Congratulations..."

The clerks congratulated loudly one after another, and the owner of Chunfeng Tower quickly ordered someone to deliver the good news.

However, since they are all in the top three now, the good news won’t be that good.

"I'm hit! I'm hit!"

"Eighth place in the top three. Why is it only eighth place in the top three?"

"Brother Fang, eighth place in the top three is not bad..."

Hearing the good news, some people in Chunfeng Tower cried with joy, while others beat their chests and stamped their feet.

For some people, this is a happy event.

But for those who think they are talented, this is undoubtedly bad news.

Before the good news was announced here, the gong sounded again.

This time, it was the person who went to Deyi Building to announce the good news.

Just like in Chunfeng Tower, as the voice of the person announcing the good news sounded, the Gongsheng's face kept changing.

Emperor Wen and Qin Liugan looked through the window at these tribute students, some happy and some sad, and each had their own feelings in their hearts.

"Think about it, I'm pretty lucky."

Qin Liugan said with emotion on his face.

"Oh? How lucky?"

Emperor Wen asked with a smile.

Qin Liugan smiled and said slowly: "For someone like me, if I hadn't followed you since childhood, let alone being a duke, it would be a blessing from my ancestors to be able to make a living in the government office."

"You deserve this."

Emperor Wen shook his head and smiled, "If you brothers hadn't risked your lives to protect me so many times, I don't know how many times I would have died! In this sense, I am also a lucky person..."

As Emperor Wen was speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Mu Shun opened the door, only to see Han Jin standing at the door holding a bowl of medicine.

Mu Shun took the medicine and closed the door again.

After taking a sip of the medicine, Mu Shun came behind Emperor Wen with the medicine and said, "Master, it's time to drink the medicine."

"Leave it alone for now!"

Emperor Wen turned around and said to Mu Shun with a smile: "It is better to do it today than to wait for a day! Since it is a special examination, then I will show you my favor again! So, you can choose a decent person from this batch of Jinshi to be your adopted son?"

Mu Shun was slightly stunned, then he bowed excitedly: "Thank you, Master!"

"Okay!"

Emperor Wen smiled and called Mu Shun over, "Come and take a look. If you think it's suitable, I'll make the decision for you!"

Mu Shun shook his head gently: "I won't read it. As long as the master thinks it's suitable, that's fine."

"Okay, then I'll help you choose!"

Emperor Wen didn't say much and continued to look out the window.

The noise outside continued.

People kept coming to report the good news.

Half an hour later, the top three results were reported.

There are sixty-four people in the top three, and Deyi Building and Chunfeng Building account for nearly fifty of them.

When the second-class candidates began to be announced, the tribute students became even more nervous.

"He is Mr. Li Guang from Tongji, Yingzhou. He is ranked seventh in the second class of high school!"

"Congratulations to Mr. Lv Jin from Lishui, Danzhou, who ranked seventh in the second class of high school..."

"Congratulations to Juzhou..."

Ok?

The person announcing the good news was still reporting, but Emperor Wen and Qin Liugan looked surprised.

"Two seventh places?"

Qin Liu was surprised, "This... is this a mistake?"

Not only Emperor Wen and Qin Liugan, but also the tribute students on the two floors were a little confused.

Tied for seventh place in the second class?

There were cases of tie in ranking in the previous dynasty.

But in Daqian, this is the first time in history!

Emperor Wen thought for a moment, then turned around and told Mu Shun, "Have someone call the two people who are tied for seventh place! Tell them that this is the first time I have encountered a tie for seventh place, and I want to ask them for a calligraphy piece!"

Mu Shun immediately accepted the order...
