Chapter 393: All the calculations
These people usually put on an air of being a scholar, talking about all sorts of things, propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, and even claiming that they can remain calm even if the sky falls. However, in reality, it is just the announcement of the results of the Spring Examination, and they all become like this.
This book has probably been read into the stomach of a dog.
Especially those few who were arguing endlessly, they were full of petty-mindedness. If such people could really make it to the list and become officials in the future, it would be a great misfortune for the country!
Ren Jianbai scoffed at this situation and stood far away to avoid being affected by those people.
Stupidity and vulgarity are contagious!
However, Ren Jianbai also wanted to know whether he could pass the exam successfully.
But if he joined those people at this time, it would be a loss of face! After thinking it over, Ren Jianbai resisted the urge and decided to wait a while before looking at the list.
While waiting, Ren Jianbai saw a familiar person - Yu Yongye.
Although he and Yu Yongye did not study in the same academy, they were both successful candidates in the imperial examinations in the same year and were from the same Qinghe region. They had met each other several times and were able to chat with each other.
But Ren Jianbai was somewhat displeased with Yu Yongye because he was obsessed with beauty and was too eager for quick success.
Although Shuangye from Su Ji was very good-looking and capable, and had some savings, making her a good candidate for marriage, Shuangye was, after all, a slave without parents, and could not be the wife of a scholar.
But Yu Yongye was determined to marry no one but Shuang Ye, and even at the time of the wedding, he acted in such a manner that made people feel that he was deeply in love.
But if you think about it carefully, Yu Yongye is not that good at all. He just sees that Shuangye has a lot of savings and has a generous master like Su Yujin behind him. He will definitely send a lot of money to his family in the future to support his studies.
What's more, Shuang Ye has no parents. Even if Su Yujin is in charge, she is still a girl after all. Frost Ye naturally cannot tell Su Yujin many things, so she is very easy to be manipulated.
This Yu Yongye really has a plan...
Ren Jianbai did not hide his disgust for Yongye at all, and even turned his face away, hoping that he would not be seen by him.
But obviously, he was a little slow.
Yu Yongye spotted Ren Jianbai in the crowd and walked over quickly, "Mr. Ren."
"Mr. Yu, you are too polite." Ren Jianbai felt that he couldn't save face, so he had to bow and respond, "Mr. Yu, have you checked the list?"
"I saw it." Yu Yongye was a little embarrassed. "Although my name is on the list, my ranking is not very high. I am ranked 198th."
"Oh?" Ren Jianbai raised his eyebrows.
Yu Yongye actually passed the exam. God is really blind.
"So how many people were admitted this year?" Ren Jianbai asked.
"I just checked, and a total of 223 people were admitted." Yu Yongye answered truthfully.
"In the past, the number of admitted candidates in the Spring Examination usually ranged from 260 to 320. This year, there are not many admitted." Ren Jianbai nodded slightly. "But since there are not many people, Yu Juren was able to make the list. This is really commendable. I would like to congratulate Yu Juren, oh no, it is Yu Jinshi."
Anyone who is on the list of the spring examination can take part in the palace examination, and in the palace examination, there is no such thing as failing the exam. It's just a matter of selecting the first, second, and third place.
Even the last third class would be granted the same status as a Jinshi. Calling Yu Yongye a Jinshi at this time was not too flattering.
Yu Yongye was obviously very happy, and he chuckled, "Mr. Ren, thank you for your compliment."
It's really an exaggeration.
It was just that he passed the imperial examination by chance, and he passed it again by chance this time. All in all, it was just luck. If we talk about strength, he is really far behind.
Ren Jianbai believed that his literary talent was much better than Yu Yongye's. Hearing that Yu Yongye was also on the list, he felt much more at ease. He straightened his back a little secretly and said, "I'll go take a look at the ranking list, too. Bye."
"Goodbye." Yu Yongye bowed, and then quickly walked towards the inn where he lived.
We were very happy all the way.
I have to write a letter quickly to tell them the good news so that Mother and Shuangye can feel at ease.
Especially Frost Leaf, who is now a dual-body person, is the most prone to overthinking. When she is emotionally unstable, she needs to be comforted a lot.
Speaking of which, on the way to see the list just now, I passed by a place
As Yu Yongye thought this, his steps became much quicker.
Ren Jianbai walked slowly to the list to find his ranking.
There are more than 200 names, and the characters are not very big. It is not easy to find your own name among them on the densely packed paper.
But since Yu Yongye just said that he was ranked 198th, then he should be able to rank around 100th...
After thinking for a moment, Ren Jianbai started looking from the middle of the list.
But after reading a few lines, I didn't see my name.
Could it be that he did better in the exam? Ren Jianbai was delighted and looked forward hurriedly...
But, no.
Could it be that his ranking was even lower than Yu Yongye's? Ren Jianbai was somewhat unhappy, but after thinking about it carefully, even if this was the case, he would at least be a Jinshi in the future, and he would have a bright future as an official.
At worst, I can just work harder in the palace examination.
But, after reading through the names one by one...
Ren Jianbai was a little panicked. He started from the first name and read them one by one. Then he started from the last name and read them one by one from the first name.
No.
None of them.
Not on the list, failed the exam.
Ren Jianbai's face turned pale as he stared at the list in disbelief. After being stunned for a long time, he walked up to the guard who was guarding the list and asked, "Is this list posted wrong?"
Otherwise, how could his name not be on the list? The guard glanced at Ren Jianbai and said nothing. However, when some people nearby heard Ren Jianbai's question, they laughed and said, "Is there anything wrong with this list?"
"That's right. I think you failed the exam. Can't believe this is true?"
"You should listen to others' advice. The Spring Examination only takes place once every three years. You can take it again in the future."
"If this person is possessed by a demon, there is nothing we can do about it..."
There was laughter all around. Ren Jianbai felt ashamed and angry. He clenched his hands into fists and wanted to hit those ugly faces. But when he saw the guards who were eyeing him covetously, he had to give up the idea. He hurriedly pushed through the crowd and ran to a deserted place.
There were many people who failed the imperial examination in the spring who looked extremely ugly, but people did not take it seriously. After laughing for a while, they started to watch the fun going on elsewhere.
Ren Jianbai ran for a long time, and only slowed down when he was far away from the Imperial Examination Hall.
It was the end of February and the streets of the capital were very busy. Everywhere you looked and heard was all kinds of noise.
Ren Jianbai was extremely irritable and didn't even look at the road when he walked, and he bumped into someone head-on.
Abacus: I must have violated some heavenly law in my previous life, so I get beaten from time to time in this life...
