Afterwards, he invited Ji Wufeng out and had a meal together.
Ji Wufeng smiled, looked at Li Fangming, and said, "Second Young Master, I just mentioned you to Brother Junze a few days ago. I didn't expect you to show up now."
Li Fangming smiled and said, "I heard Yang'er was taking the college entrance examination recently, so I decided to come back to take a look. I didn't expect to come just when the results were announced. It was quite a coincidence."
Everyone congratulated Yang'er, congratulating him on passing the exam and getting the first place!
Ye Qingwan said, "I heard that Yang'er had previously taken first place in the county and prefectural examinations. Now, he has also taken first place in the imperial examination. Doesn't that mean he has won the top three places in a row, or has been awarded the title of 'Little Top Three'?"
Cai Junze was not quite sure about this and asked, "What is 'Little Three Yuan'?"
What is the “Big Three”?
If there are "small three yuan", there must be "big three yuan" too, right?
Ye Qingwan smiled slightly and said, "The top scorers in the county exam, prefectural exam, and imperial exam are called the 'small three prizes.' If you get first place in the provincial exam, first place in the metropolitan exam, and first place in the palace exam, you're called the 'big three prizes.'"
Cai Junze suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!"
Ye Qingwan continued: "In the history of Daxu, up to now, there has not been a single person who won six yuan in a row. The highest record is five yuan."
Cai Junze said, "We only missed one. Isn't that a pity?"
Ye Qingwan nodded and said, "It's indeed a pity, but there are very few people who can win five yuan. Since the founding of the Daxu Dynasty, there have never been more than five."
Cai Junze had only a vague understanding of scientific research, so he was surprised when he heard her say that: "So little?"
It has been hundreds of years since the Daxu Dynasty was established!
Every three years, there is a top scholar!
After hundreds of years, there aren't even five people who won five yuan?
Li Fangming laughed and said, "The imperial examinations aren't that easy. Relatively speaking, the 'Minor Three Yuan' is easier. In the past few hundred years of Daxu, there have been at least a thousand 'Minor Three Yuan' winners, and quite a few have achieved the Four Yuan, with hundreds even. Even reaching the Five Yuan is quite difficult, and the Six Yuan has never been achieved."
"But then again, there shouldn't be anyone like Yang'er who has won the 'Little Three Yuan' at his age."
"Yang'er should be the first one."
"As far as I know, the youngest person on record was fourteen years old."
"Yang'er is one year younger."
Having just heard that there have been thousands of “Little Three Yuans” in history, Cai Junze suddenly felt that winning a “Little Three Yuan” was nothing special.
However, when he heard that Yang'er might be the youngest "Little Three Scholars" in history, Cai Junze suddenly became excited and his face was full of pride!
The reason why it is not yet certain whether Yang'er is the youngest is because the exam has just ended and the statistics have not yet been counted. Therefore, it is unknown whether there is anyone younger than Yang'er.
After hearing this, Yang'er looked calm on the surface, but was actually quite surprised in his heart.
He didn't expect that he might be setting a record.
Although, it's not a very impressive record.
That night, Cai Junze was so happy that he chatted with Li Fangming and the others. When he got excited, he started drinking and drank in big gulps. In the end, he got drunk. Ji Wufeng also got drunk, but Li Fangming did not get drunk.
Of course, Yang'er didn't drink it.
Ye Qingwan didn't drink either.
Seeing them lying drunk on the table, Li Fangming called someone to help them go to the inn to rest.
Yang'er stayed in the same room with his father. Seeing his father drunk, he just frowned slightly, and then took care of him from the side.
This was the first time in his life that he saw his father drunk.
Of course, he knew that his father drank so much because he was happy that he passed the imperial examination. Normally, his father rarely drank.
"How's your dad?"
Li Fangming came to visit.
"It's okay, you should be fine after a good sleep." Yang'er said.
Li Fangming looked at Yang'er, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Take good care of your father."
After saying that, he went out.
Yang'er closed the door.
Then, sitting on a chair in the room, supporting my chin, looking at my father lying on the bed and sleeping, scenes of my father accompanying me to study in the past years emerged in my mind.
It's quite heartwarming...
(Note: The character "三" in "大三元" is the same as "三"... because it can't be pronounced without this substitution)
