Chapter 282: I am not
talented Tang Zhichuan and others were busy, while the candidates who were taking the exam continued to wait in the side hall.
It was already afternoon and the sun was setting.
After experiencing such a tense period from early morning till now, all the tribute students were now starving.
Chen Shuming couldn't help but rub his belly.
"Here, take it." Song Jingyun said as he stretched out his hand and stuffed two pieces of dessert into Chen Shuming's hand.
"Thank you." Chen Shuming didn't bother to exchange too many pleasantries with Song Jingyun at this moment. He just took the snack and stuffed it into his mouth.
After swallowing all the snacks without hesitation, Chen Shuming looked at the smiling Song Jingyun and asked curiously, "You still have some snacks?"
"Yes, there are still a lot." Song Jingyun took out two more pieces from his sleeve and handed them to Chen Shuming, "If it's not enough, I have more here. My wife prepared a lot for me. You can eat as much as you want."
"You eat too." Chen Shuming reminded.
Song Jingyun's stomach was empty at this moment, simply because the palace examination was already over for him. The snacks he ate now tasted like chewing wax and had no flavor.
But when he saw others eating them with relish, he seemed to be able to taste the deliciousness of these pastries.
Song Jingyun nodded, and while no one was paying attention, he stuffed a piece of dessert into his mouth.
The mung bean cake has a delicate texture. Although you can't taste much sweetness when eating it, the taste is excellent. It made Song Jingyun have a better appetite and he couldn't help but eat two more pieces.
More than an hour later, Tang Zhichuan and others returned to the hall again, took out the written ranking list, and asked someone to read it out.
The person who read the results cleared his throat and said aloud, "The first place winner of this palace examination is Song Jingyun, the second place winner is Chen Shuming, the third place winner is..."
Before he finished speaking, all the candidates in the hall were in an uproar.
Song Jingyun was the top scorer and Chen Shuming was the runner-up? That meant that the two of them went out to receive the reward? Everyone looked at Song Jingyun and Chen Shuming at the same time, their eyes full of envy.
Also, because the two of them were clearly the top and second place in the imperial examination, they would definitely be given important positions in the future and had unlimited prospects. Many people, in addition to being envious, also gave them congratulatory glances in order to maintain a good relationship with them.
If some people are envious, naturally some people will be dissatisfied.
There were also people who thought that their talents and knowledge were no less than those of Song Jingyun and Chen Shuming. At this moment, they pouted their lips, with disdain in their eyes and faces.
Zhao Chunmao jumped out at this time, "I am not talented, but I want to ask you, the reason why Song Jingyun and Chen Shuming were able to get the first and second place in the imperial examinations respectively is because of their outstanding literary talent and ability, or because they have won the favor of the current emperor and offered snacks to the gods?"
Since ancient times, people who are not afraid of death have always been praised and described as sacrificing their lives for righteousness.
But this kind of fearlessness of death, regardless of the occasion and without using any brain, is the behavior of a reckless man.
Giving away your head for nothing is not liked by people anywhere! Especially when this behavior will cause trouble to others! Seeing this, Tang Zhichuan frowned and snorted coldly, "Since you are not talented, then go study more, why are you making so much noise here?"
Tang Zhichuan's friendly attitude previously made Zhao Chunmao feel that he was different from the others and that he was an aspiring young man who could appreciate the differences.
At this moment, his face suddenly changed...
Zhao Chunmao was stunned at first, then he straightened his back and glared at Tang Zhichuan.
