The entire street was occupied by shelves of walking time dials. On the big sign at the street entrance, on one side it was written what the thing did and how to use it, and on the other side it was written the significance of this "co-branded model". It also listed the celebrity co-branded models that were already on sale, as well as the list of celebrities whose co-branded models were being produced.
This is just like the ranking list in the future. The Bu Shi Pan is something that every family can use. Now there is a co-branded version with your mentor. I want to ask you if you will buy it! If you don’t buy it, you are not a Dayan person!
In addition to the celebrity co-branded models, there is also the Goddess of Fortune model... Yes, Yan Shiyue drew it herself. It is a pair of Q-version Fortune dolls, and the words are also QQ, which is very pleasing.
There is also the Prince An style.
Prince An holds a very high status in the hearts of military generals. Although he cannot draw, his calligraphy is still very powerful. The word "Wu" on the watch case is full of ink and majestic.
There is also Xu Siyuan's name. Although the results of the imperial examination have not yet been announced, Xu Wenqu has a very high reputation among literati. Now he has written things like "On Foot Binding" and "Letter to Students", etc. It seems that he is about to soar to the sky and he also has many fans.
If there were many cautious people before, such as Lin Fujian, who were suspicious, now seeing this situation and seeing the co-branded products from these people, their doubts are gone and they are busy replying to the posts, fearing that they will be missed.
Surprisingly, the Fu Niangniang model is the best-selling one.
Probably, firstly, it is to please, and secondly, it is also for good luck. Besides, of this kind of things, every family will buy ten or eight, and buy an extra one for the Goddess of Fortune. This is inevitable.
While the sale of Bu Shi Pan was in full swing, the examiners of the imperial examination were overwhelmed by the "new rules".
...
...
This time, the crown prince personally presided over the imperial examination.
But the crown prince was only in charge. The chief examiner was Sun Xuancheng, the second assistant of the cabinet, and the deputy examiners were all well-known officials of the court. In addition to the chief examiner and two deputy examiners, there were 18 examiners in the room.
The examiners in the room are responsible for recommending excellent papers, and the chief examiner will decide whether to keep or reject them.
The number of candidates admitted to the imperial examination is usually limited to 300. If there are special circumstances, 50 or 100 more candidates may be admitted by temporary request or imperial decree.
Those who were admitted to the imperial examination were called Gongshi, and the first place in the imperial examination was called "Huaiyuan".
The prince lived in the Imperial Academy with the examiners throughout the entire process and marked the papers together. In addition, as it was the first time that the new rules were implemented, the examiners were all trembling with fear.
In fact, more than one person was worried that if Xu Wenqu and Tang Shirong were not among the 300 selected, would Her Royal Highness Princess Fuyan... not give in and request an investigation according to the new regulations?
But even if everyone thought that less trouble is better than more trouble, everyone thought that these two people must be among the top 300! Don't make any more trouble!
But even if I want to take care of them, I don't know where to start.
After all, although Xu Wenqu's works have been passed down to the world, they are all in plain language and are really incomparable to the essays in the imperial examination. After transcribing them, it is impossible to distinguish the handwriting. However, Tang Shirong's essays in the previous examinations are fresh and exciting, and many people have read them.
Amidst all the thoughts, thousands of files were finally read through, and the top-ranked files were handed over to the chief executive officer, Sun Xuancheng, who would decide the ranking.
Sun Xuancheng looked through the papers carefully one by one, ranked them, and then went to ask the prince to make a decision.
The prince would not openly interfere in the examination, but he still took the papers and read them one by one, then said with a smile, "Sun Ci Fu's evaluation is very fair, and I have no objection."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The prince approved of it… so this can be considered as taking the blame.
Then everyone opened the sealed files together and checked the files. When they opened the first person's name, it turned out to be Xu Qing Xu Wenqu.
Everyone's mood instantly relaxed.
Someone joked: "This Xu Siyuan has now become Xu Wuyuan, but it's a pity that Xiao Siyuan can only be Xiao Siyuan."
Another person also laughed and said, "Master and disciple competing together is a good story. I just wonder what place Little Siyuan will get this time."
"A good teacher produces good students. Little Siyuan must be good too."
"That's right. Princess Fuyan must be very happy now!"
The prince smiled faintly and said nothing.
Looking at the looks of these people, it's not hard to guess what they are thinking.
I just hate that these officials in the imperial court are so smart, but they don't know my sister's pure heart. She made this scene at the cost of her reputation. Was it for the fame of Xu Wenqu and Tang Shirong? Even if she didn't make a scene, who could erase the fame of these two people?
The prince lowered his eyes silently.
On the fifth day of March, the results of the imperial examination were announced.
At the Ministry of Rites, the Xingbang list was crowded as usual. Ding Xiaoyan was sent out to check the list. After a while, he came back and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Mr. Xu, you got the first place." He also said to Tang Shirong, "Young Master Rong is fourth."
"La la la!" Yan Shiyue was so happy that she held the hands of the two and spun around several times.
Xu Wenqu and Tang Shirong laughed and shouted at the same time: "Stop it!" They withdrew their hands together, but couldn't help but smile.
Now all we have to do is wait for the palace examination in ten days.
That afternoon, a banner was hung in front of the Bu Shi Pan store, saying that a member of the owner's family had been honored on the Xingbang, and a store celebration event was being held. Anyone on the Xingbang could enjoy a 40% discount on the purchase of the Bu Shi Pan, with a purchase limit of one unit. A 20% discount could also be enjoyed on the purchase of other Yuefang products.
The tribute scholars immediately flocked to the shop.
Some people who have bought before wanted to buy again, and some people from poor families asked others to buy for them. It was very lively for a while.
The tribute scholars were in a very relaxed mood.
You have to know that there is no failure in the palace examination, that is to say, as long as you make it to that step, the worst that can happen is that you will be among the top three. What's more, Xu Wenqu was the first place, so if he gets to the palace examination, he will definitely be among the top three if nothing unexpected happens.
In the morning, you are a farmer, and in the evening, you are in the emperor's palace. This is what it is like.
Yan Shiyue watched from a distance, and said to Xu Wentong: "Sir, if you become the top scholar, you will return home in glory. Wow, that means you won't be back for a long time. If I want to do something during that time, won't there be no one to help me write an article?"
Xu Wenqu smiled and said, "If His Highness Fu Yan asks for help, I wonder how many people will want to help."
"But they definitely can't understand what I want all at once and write it the way I want..." Yan Shiyue was very worried: "Sir, you have to come back soon!"
Xu Wenqu laughed: "I haven't taken the exam yet! It's too early for you to talk about it!"
Yan Shiyue rolled her eyes at him with disdain: "You are still being modest at this time. Can't you learn from Tang Pan'an's smugness?"
She said to Tang Shirong with great interest: "Brother, do you still remember that hypocrite in the clan school? He said that if you passed the imperial examination, he would reduce the tuition fees of all the students in the clan school. After you finish the palace examination, I will definitely send someone to send a message back to ask him if he still remembers the bet that year."
It happened so long ago, but he still remembers it. No one else can hold a grudge this well.
Tang Shirong was helpless: "He knows you are successful, he must be worried every day, why do you have to do this again?"
"How can this be called an extra move?" Yan Shiyue said, "He wanted to bet with me that day, and I didn't force him to bet."
Xu Wenqu coaxed her gently, "When I return home, I will send someone to tell him that you don't need to show up, so as not to scare him."
Yan Shiyue thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. I can donate some money to the clan school in my brother's name. I don't think he would dare to embezzle it."
Xu Wenqu smiled and agreed.
The three were chatting when suddenly one of them ran over crying and knelt down at her feet: "Your Highness, please save the princess!!"
Jia and several others quickly appeared and stood in front of her.
