"Can you show me the list of the top fifty?" Wen Jinhe looked at Wang Lun.
Everyone felt a little uneasy. Could it be that the Queen still wanted to change the rankings of those people?
Several of them looked at Li Junche, wanting to get an answer from him.
Wen Jinhe saw their hesitation and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll just take a look and won't change their rankings."
Wang Lun saw the way Li Junche looked at him, and the emperor agreed. He took out a long scroll from his sleeve pocket and handed it to the eunuch.
The chamberlain offered his hands to Wen Jinhe.
After opening it, he scanned the names on it. Except for Jian Shuyang's name, there was only one named Guo Luo among the thirteen people, ranked seventeenth in the west. He closed the scroll and handed it back to Wang Lun.
Li Junche saw Wen Jinhe's calm expression and asked, "Are you disappointed?"
Wen Jinhe sat down, pointed his finger on the side of his forehead and nodded, "A little bit." Fortunately, Jian Shuyang can be used as an advertisement, so there is no gain at all.
On the morning of the second day, five hundred palace examination tribute students were waiting outside Chongyang Palace. The chamberlain with a long beard walked up to them respectfully and said, "Song Xing'an, Zhao Qianming, and Jian Shuyang are here to see you."
The five hundred students standing under the stairs had different expressions. It seemed that these three people were the top three for Enke this time.
Jian Shuyang, who had his head lowered, followed the other two people in a daze. He actually made it into the top three, which was really a surprise.
Does the current emperor really have the intention to reuse merchants? When he answered the questions, his answers were biased towards merchants, and most of them were pragmatic strategies.
What he thought at the time was that since he had been selected for the palace, he would simply take a gamble. Unexpectedly, he was right this time.
Li Junche, who was sitting on the throne, looked at the three people who walked in. They all looked upright.
"Song Xing'an, a grassroots citizen, comes to see the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."
"The common man Zhao Qianming comes to see the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."
"Caomin Jian Shuyang comes to see the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
……
The ten evaluation officials headed by Wang Lun all focused their attention on Jian Shuyang, who was standing on the far left. They couldn't see anything special about him. It seemed that the Empress really chose him because he was a merchant.
Li Junche saw that Jian Shuyang looked pretty handsome, so he went to look for flowers.
After putting on his red robe and riding on a tall horse, Jian Shuyang relaxed. He didn't know what was going on. Just now, there seemed to be many people staring at him in the Chongyang Hall.
Tanhua, I am actually Tanhua. This is smoke rising from the ancestral grave. If my father knew, I don’t know how happy he would be.
Mu Wangshu, Mei Ziyi and Guo Luo stood on both sides of the street, looking up at Jian Shuyang who was proud of the spring breeze and smiling, feeling not only happy but also a little envious.
Although the results of the three of them were also within the top 100, they were still far behind Jian Shuyang.
The test papers of Song Xing'an, Zhao Qianming and Jian Shuyang have been posted at the entrance of Gongyuan. The three of them have also gone to take a look. They are indeed worthy of their names.
Jian Shuyang's test paper was the most discussed because it was too biased.
As soon as the parade passed by, people began to hand out leaflets on both sides of the street. They were still leaflets for pre-sale houses in New Taipei District, but the content was different from those distributed a few days ago.
Looking at the word "Tan Hua" in bold and enlarged red letters, everyone couldn't help but look at the red figure of Jian Shuyang riding away.
When Jian Shuyang returned to the inn, Mu Wangshu and three others also arrived.
"Congratulations to Brother Jian for being the top pick in high school." Mei Ziyi cupped her hands in congratulations.
Jian Shuyang shook his sleeves happily and said, "We are all happy together. We Westerners are walking together. This is a great event for the whole high school. We should celebrate it well."
As soon as Jian Shuyang sat down, he saw that the sales office opposite the inn was crowded with people. It was even more crowded than yesterday. "I didn't expect it to become more popular day by day. The house I bought yesterday was worth it."
Mei Ziyi handed the flyer to Jian Shuyang, "It's so popular today, and it's Brother Jian's credit."
The smaller one next to the two big characters "Tanhua" is Jian Shuyang's name, isn't it?
It begins with the words "Xin Ke Tan Hua is a neighbor". He just bought a house yesterday and is going to high school today. It's almost like this is a Feng Shui treasure.
Jian Shuyang stared at those three words, "How could they write our names on it first? Many people have seen it. This is a bit too showy."
Hong Shang would be too slippery to do this.
When they signed the contract yesterday, they filled in the customer information, but they didn't expect it to be used here today. "No, I have to find that man and argue with the woman." How could they use his name to sell the house?
Mu Wangshu: "There is no lie in the above. You did buy a house at the sales office yesterday, and now you are also the best seller. The court has no laws and regulations. Your name, Jian Shuyang, cannot appear on these promotional pages."
Jian Shuyang put her hands on her hips, "But they used my status as a Tanhua to promote it so openly, and they didn't pay me any publicity fees. This is unreasonable."
The three people's eyes froze.
Mei Ziyi: "So you want to argue with them to get money?"
Jian Shuyang nodded matter-of-factly, "Of course."
There was a hint of hatred in Guo Luo's eyes, "Don't go, otherwise you will offend others before you enter the officialdom, and the future will be difficult."
"Brother Guo, what do you mean by this?" He just went to find someone to argue with, how could he offend future colleagues?
Mei Ziyi and Mu Wangshu fixed their gazes. They were born in officialdom. They had listened to their elders talking about court affairs since they were young. Although they had not practiced the way of being an official, they were still familiar with it. However, they were also a little confused about what Guo Luo said.
Guo Luo saw the three people staring at him, so he picked up the promotional page and said, "Propaganda pages like this started when you were parading on the horse, and they haven't stopped now. There are at least thousands of them. Ever since you were paraded, How could it be printed so quickly when it was only designated as Tanhua? It’s like it was conjured out of thin air.”
Jian Shuyang fell into deep thought. From finalizing to engraving to printing, even if there were not many words on the leaflet, it would still take time. With so many leaflets, it would definitely not be done in a few hours.
"The person who printed this thing knew when he was ugly that I must be a prostitute?" Jian Shuyang was surprised to the point of being a little scared.
Guo Luo nodded, "Although the examiner already knew the names of the first, second and third best candidates in the imperial examination before today's morning meeting, but when meeting the emperor today, if the emperor changes his mind after meeting the three of you, the three of you will People’s rankings can be adjusted at any time. The fact that they printed the brochure so quickly shows that they got the news in advance.”
Mu Wangshu lowered his voice, "That means this person must be someone close to the emperor."
Jian Shuyang's eyebrows sometimes tightened and sometimes relaxed, and he touched his chin with one hand and thought seriously, "Do you think the beautiful woman we saw on the second floor a few days ago could be the current queen?"
The three of them were stunned, not expecting that he would think so.
