Chapter 953 All Three Were Hit
The entire capital city was bustling with activity. Teahouses, taverns, streets and alleys were all filled with discussion about this year's imperial examination. The names of many of the popular candidates had already become well-known through word of mouth.
The matter of the Minister of Personnel's legitimate daughter threatening to seize a husband through a list of names posted on social media was also pushed to the forefront and became more and more talked about.
And the candidate selection seems to be becoming clearer and clearer amidst the various calculations and speculations of the crowd.
The day of the announcement of the results finally arrived. Lu Min and Gu Zhiyou nervously ran to Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan, anxiously waiting for the results.
Affected by this atmosphere, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Song Shi, Lu Min and Gu Zhiyou's servants ran to the announcement place early in the morning to be the first to see the list.
The waiting time passed especially slowly. Song Shi and the others finally came back together, but they seemed to be too nervous. The three of them stuttered for a long time and couldn't utter a complete sentence, but they all had smiles on their faces.
Lu Min couldn't care less and grabbed his servant: "Did you win? Nod your head if you did!"
The boy grinned foolishly and nodded wildly.
Gu Zhiyou asked hurriedly, "Are all three of us successful?"
This time the three servants nodded vigorously.
"Okay, okay, that's great, hahahaha!"
"Hahaha, I got it, I finally got it!"
"Yeah, I finally won!"
Several servants knelt down and kowtowed in joy to congratulate him, and now they were finally able to speak coherently.
Qiao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, giving the red envelopes she had prepared to Song Shi and others.
Everyone was suddenly beaming with joy.
"Brother Gu, Brother Qiao, I'll treat you tonight, let's celebrate!"
"That would be great, haha!"
Several people were quite excited and talked and laughed for a while before they went into the house and sat down. They called Song Shi and the other two in to ask them about their rankings and the situation at the announcement of the results.
Lu Min was at the very end of the class, one of the last few, but this did not affect his good mood at all, and he was still very happy.
It’s already a rare achievement to be able to win!
You have to know that out of the 3,000 or so talents selected from the entire Qin Dynasty in this spring examination, only 180 people were selected as Jinshi. It is very rare to be the last one among these 180 people.
Gu Zhiyou and Shao Yunduan are both in the middle.
Gu Zhiyou felt that he was lucky as he got a good ranking in the exam and was very happy.
However, both of them were surprised by Shao Yunduan's ranking.
The more they interacted with Shao Yunduan and discussed articles, the more they felt the gap between themselves and Shao Yunduan.
Originally, at the beginning, the two of them just thought of Shao Yunduan as a friend they got along well with, but now, they have already developed respect for him.
His knowledge and talent far surpassed theirs.
This time in the spring examination, both of them were worried and anxious, neither of them was very sure, but they both had full confidence in Shao Yunduan.
Not only did I think he would pass the exam, but I also thought he would definitely get a high ranking. But I didn't expect that the result would only be average.
The two looked at each other and felt a little embarrassed, not knowing whether to praise Shao Yunduan or comfort him.
Finally, Gu Zhiyou said with a smile: "There is still the palace examination. Brother Shao, do your best then. We are waiting to see your amazing talent!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Shao must have been hiding his incompetence in this imperial examination! Don't be too modest during the palace examination!"
Shao Yunduan laughed: "You two brothers really flatter me too much!"
In fact, he knew this in his mind. Mr. Yun had taught him before that it was better to be safe in the examination and not to take risks.
