Chapter 565 Winning without any suspense
"There will be some news eventually, but the results will be announced in half an hour, so we don't need to wait too long."
This time Jiang Youzhen was really nervous. The system prompt sound didn't come, but it didn't say that the mission failed, and he didn't know what it meant.
The carriage soon arrived outside the Imperial Examination Hall. They arrived early and the lists had not yet been posted.
"Young Master, Qingyan and I will go and grab a seat first." Qing Lang stopped the carriage and said hurriedly.
He and Qingyan were both literate, so they squeezed in to see the list, saving Jiang Youzhen and others from squeezing in.
Soon Tong Huaian also arrived. The three of them met up, talked and laughed, and they weren't that nervous.
Wen Ruyu was obviously a little absent-minded. When he saw Ke Zhenqiu coming over, he looked unhappy, but didn't say anything. He just kept his eyes on the big tree in front of him.
"Senior Brother Tong, Senior Brother Wen, Junior Brother Jiang!" Ke Zhenqiu stepped forward to salute, and Jiang Youzhen suddenly discovered that this man seemed to be in better health than before. His face was no longer gray, but a little pale.
"Brother Ke!" Jiang Youzhen greeted politely.
"Someone is posting the list. I'll go take a look!" Wen Ruyu said as he walked towards the list.
Jiang Youzhen shook his head helplessly. In fact, Wen Ruyu was also very stubborn.
He always felt that Ke Zhenqiu was adopted for the sake of wealth and glory, and he didn't even come back to see his biological mother before she died. To Wen Ruyu, such a person was really immoral.
However, this time Ke Zhenqiu smiled faintly, "Junior Brother Jiang was able to turn misfortune into fortune, it really is a blessing from heaven."
"As long as you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door!" Jiang Youzhen smiled calmly.
"But Junior Brother, you don't know that Senior Brother Wen came to me for help. I was very surprised and moved by your friendship. He even took out all his belongings and asked me to help him."
Jiang Youzhen was very surprised, and at the same time, she was really moved. She didn't expect Wen Ruyu to be willing to spend all his belongings to save her, and even went to ask Ke Zhenqiu for help, but Wen Ruyu didn't even mention this matter.
"Senior Brother Wen and I are close friends, and I am deeply moved." Jiang Youzhen was deeply moved.
"The results are out! The results are out!" a loud shout was heard, and then people swarmed over and rushed to the list.
Qing Lang and Qing Yan were very agile, scurrying left and right, and finally reached the base of the wall. Someone pushed them from behind, and the two were pushed against the wall, and they couldn't help but curse.
The two of them first looked at the top of the list, and when they saw Jiang Youzhen's name, they immediately cried out in surprise.
"Master, Master, you won! And you're at the top of the list!" Qing Lang shouted suddenly, with a smile on his face.
However, the noise was so loud that Qing Lang's voice could not reach Jiang Youzhen's ears. Jiang Youzhen only saw Qing Lang jumping at the base of the wall, but the smile on his face told her that it must be a good result.
[Congratulations to the host for winning the first place in this examination. The system rewards a mechanical watch, a hand-cranked flashlight, a hundred poisons pill, two tourmalines, and two pieces of Huizhou ancient ink.]
Wow! Jiang Youzhen didn't expect the system to be so powerful this time. It actually rewarded watches and flashlights that were not suitable for this dynasty? Jiang Youzhen was very happy. This is very practical.
Although a specially made hourglass was given as a reward before, it is definitely not as good as a watch.
But what’s the point? Jiang Youzhen passed the exam and was the top scorer in this exam!
Jiang Youzhen initially ignored the Huizhou ancient ink at the back, but was very curious about the Hundred Poisons Immunity Pill at the front.
I clicked on it and found that there are conditional restrictions. It turns out that this kind of antidote can really cure all kinds of poisons, but there is a time limit. That is to say, this antidote must be taken within one hour of taking the poison, otherwise it will be ineffective.
"Master, I won. I won the first place." Qingyan squeezed out with great difficulty and hurried to Jiang Youzhen to report the good news.
"Good! Reward!" Jiang Youzhen was very happy. He took out a twenty-liang silver note from his purse and gave it to Qingyan.
"Thank you, young master!" Qingyan was very happy and took it quickly.
"Have you come to see other senior brothers?" Jiang Youzhen found that Wen Ruyu was still squeezing outside the crowd, and the servant on Tong Huaian's side was only halfway there.
"It's too late, young master. I'll go take another look." Qingyan came to report the good news as soon as he saw it, and then disappeared into the crowd.
"Congratulations, young man!" Tong Huaian was very moved. It was reasonable for Jiang Youzhen to win the first place.
"Congratulations, Brother Huai'an will definitely be among the top." Jiang Youzhen's face was also full of joy. As long as he was the champion, his palace examination result would not be outside the top ten.
"I hope so!" Tong Huaian smiled, but he looked confident.
"Master, Master, I see, you are the second."
Soon, Xiao Wu, who was beside Tong Huaian, came running over. He even lost one of his shoes, but he didn't care and just congratulated Tong Huaian.
"Congratulations, young master! You are the second place in this examination."
Tong Huaian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he felt a little unhappy, he was convinced that he lost to Jiang Youzhen.
Jiang Youzhen's talent is truly amazing, it can no longer be described as a genius. Fortunately, he had previously persuaded Jiang Youzhen to take the imperial examination and become an official, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of her talent?
"Master, you are fourth." Just as Ke Zhenqiu was about to step forward to congratulate him, his servant had already run over with a smile on his face.
However, Ke Zhenqiu was very calm, with no joy on his face, "Did you see who the third place is?"
"It seems to be Master Wen." The servant restrained his smile and said somewhat unnaturally.
Hearing this, Ke Zhenqiu smiled and shook his head, "I knew it was him."
"Congratulations, fellow brothers. See you in the palace examination!" Ke Zhenqiu bowed to everyone, then turned and left.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Wen." At this time, Jiang Youzhen saw Wen Ruyu coming over and hurried forward to congratulate him.
Wen Ruyu also had a faint smile on his face. This time he finally surpassed Ke Zhenqiu and was already satisfied.
"Who is at the top of the list?" someone suddenly asked in the crowd in front of the list.
"Jiang Youzhen! You don't even recognize her?"
"Oh! It's as expected! I've already said that she would be the top of the list."
"You are really wise after the event. I clearly remember you said before that Tong Huaian is not weak either. Who knows, maybe Tong Huaian will be the champion this time!"
"Tong Huaian has always been defeated by Jiang Youzhen. How could you think so?"
"Ah! It's boring. Money houses won't open Jiang Youzhen's venues, saying that Jiang Youzhen's chances of winning are too high and it's just giving away money. On the contrary, the ratio of betting on Tong Huaian and Wen Ruyu is four to one, and Ke Zhenqiu is six to one! The result? No suspense!"
Jiang Youzhen: ...Uh
"Brother Huai'an, Senior Brother Wen, don't listen to their nonsense." Jiang Youzhen was a little embarrassed. It would be embarrassing to say such words as "defeated" in front of the person concerned.
However, Tong Huaian smiled and shook his head, "What they said is true. How can I be such a petty person? Don't worry, little boy! I don't take it to heart."
