Gu Ting rested at home for a day, and went to Li's house the next day.

Going to Li's house was nothing else. Although Li Hanlin was not his teacher, he devoted himself to guiding him during this period, which benefited Gu Ting a lot.Now that the exam is over, Gu Ting should pick it up in person. Li Hanlin is anxious about the exam situation, but both Li Zhengliang and Zhang Ming are ill. Since Gu Ting is fine, he can't let people wait.

Sure enough, Li Hanlin asked about the exam questions in detail, and then asked him about his answers. Based on the preferences of the chief examiner, he nodded and said, "No accident, you will pass."

The exam will be released on the second day of March.

Early in the morning, before dawn, there was movement everywhere.

Jiang Jinshu has always behaved normally, even Gu Ting himself is not worried, since he finished the exam, he didn't talk about it, he didn't read any books, but he just practiced quietly.When it comes to cultivation, in just three or four months, Gu Ting has been promoted from the fifth level of Qi training when they reunited to the current seventh level of Qi training.

You know, during this period of time, Gu Ting mainly studied, and he practiced for an hour each morning and evening.He didn't use the Spirit Gathering Formation either, but Jiang Jinshu gave him some of the existing Spirit Gathering Pills, which were rare things, but he was extremely talented and his cultivation base rose very quickly.

Now it is Jiang Jinshu who suppresses his speed, and only asks him to polish it carefully, so as not to improve too quickly and accumulate enough mana, which will not benefit the foundation building in the future.

Gu Ting didn't care about this, she listened to what she said.

But he said that they are free and easy every day, but Zhang Ming couldn't bear it.

Zhang Ming's seniority is low, actually only two years younger than Gu Ting.Judging from the growth of the two, Gu Ting was a "young boy" in the first 18 years. It should be that Zhang Ming has more experience and a calmer mind, but the situation is the opposite.I can't tell it normally, but when things really happen, Zhang Ming is impetuous after all, while Gu Ting is indifferent.

This is not because of Gu Ting's self-cultivation, but because Gu Ting has a different view of becoming an official through the imperial examination than Zhang Ming.

Since Zhang Ming was a child, because his grandfather Zhang Tai had received a lot of attention, he never dared to slack off. When he was admitted to Zhushan Academy, his literary talents spread and he won a reputation. At that time, he was also very energetic.Like him, he had already decided on his future path early in the morning. He studied and made articles in order to become an official in the imperial examination, to win a future for himself, and to carry on the glory of the family. This is his ambition and his responsibility.

It is precisely because of knowing all this and valuing all of this that he will be stressed and nervous.

As for Gu Ting, he does like reading, but he just likes reading.The reason why he wanted to take the imperial examination was to fulfill his late father's regrets, to make Mrs. Gu happy, and he didn't really care about things like the honor of the Gu family's lintel.

If you understand these, you will know what kind of person Gu Ting is, so it's not too surprising that he cultivated so quickly.

Jiang Jinshu and Gu Ting were indifferent, but Chang Le couldn't hold back, and even Xiaoxue seemed anxious, the two of them stood guard at the gate of the courtyard, looked towards the alley from time to time, and even ran out of the alley to wait and see.This place is not far from the main street. If they heard the sound of suona, gongs and drums in the distance, the two of them immediately raised their hearts, their eyes couldn't stop looking forward to it, and when the sound went away, they sighed, their eyes full of disappointment, but She carefully looked at Gu Ting, fearing that he would also be lost.

At about Chen's hour, there was the sound of drums and music coming into the alley, and Chang Le jumped out at once.

But without waiting for Chang Le to come back, Jiang Jinshu had already heard the cries of the reporter over there.

"Li Zhengliang won the 180th place."

Sure enough, the excitement over there went to Li's house, and many neighbors went to watch the excitement and feel happy.

The reporter's voice was loud and loud: "Great news - the son of Li Hanlin, taboo Zhengliang, the 180th ninth tribute in the high school Xinweike examination, the face of the Jinluan Temple!"

The door of Li's house was opened, and Li Hanlin was outside with his two sons. At this time, he received the good news and his face was full of joy.The Li family had prepared generous red envelopes to reward the reporters, and set off firecrackers, making the noise joyous and festive.

Zhang Ming also congratulated, but felt a little sad.

When Zhang Ming decided to take the exam, he guessed from his grandfather's attitude that his essay was not ready yet, and his family's intention was to let him experience it.After arriving in the capital, Li Hanlin felt that he struggled with the test questions every time, and when he looked at Gu Ting and Li Zhengliang, he felt that there were not many.

Even if you have prepared for it long ago, when this day really comes, you can't help but look forward to it with a little luck.

The good news is from low to high. Li Zhengliang is already in the 180th place. He is not in the front, and he is gone in the back.

Thinking about Gu Ting, he wanted to ask about the other party's situation, but he was afraid that the other party's good news would not come. It would be inappropriate for him to go like this, so he had to hold back first.

The Li family reported the good news to all relatives and friends in the past.

Seeing this, Chang Le had to return in frustration.

Gu Ting laughed at him when he saw it: "Aren't you tired from running around? After all, the exam has already been finished, and the rankings have already been recorded. You just broke your leg. If I really don't pass, can you give me another chance?" Ranking?"

"Oh, fourth master, are you still in a hurry at this time? Still in the mood to joke." Chang Le's face was downcast, and he couldn't express his optimism.

"It seems like you are the one who took the exam." Jiang Jinshu also smiled.

... He felt that his son and master were both weirdos. Is there really no rush for such a big matter?

Xiaoxue is very concerned about the exam, she thinks it is very lively and fun, and seeing Gu Ting squatting in the small cell for several days, freezing like that, she really wants to know if he can pass, will he Exam for the number one scholar like the one sung in the opera?

Holding the snacks, she simply guarded the door, with spiritual power on her ears, listening to the movement in the distance.

"Great news - the master of Yongyang Mansion in Southern Province, Gu Yuting, the No. 3 Gongshi of Xin Wei in high school, and the top saint in the Golden Luan Palace!"

The reporter who came on horseback first entered the alley, asked which house was in the alley, and then came inward again.The top ten are unusual, they are all three newspapers, this is the first newspaper.

Chang Le was dumbfounded, and couldn't help asking: "Who were you talking about just now? Who won No.3? But our fourth master?"

The reporter said with a smile: "But at the mansion of Mr. Gu, Yongyang Mansion, Southern Province? The villain came to congratulate me!"

"Yes, yes, my fourth master's surname is Gu, Gu Ting, it's Gu Ting!" Chang Le was so happy that he was going to be silly.

At this moment, Gu Ting came out from inside, kicked him lightly, and said with a smile, "Don't be stupid."

Amidst the good-natured laughter of the neighbors, Chang Le hurriedly took money and rewarded the reporter.

The reporter congratulated again before leaving.

Not long after, it was the second and third rewards, and Chang Le rewarded them one by one.

The Li family was close, so they had heard the movement earlier, and the brothers of the Li family and Zhang Ming came over to congratulate him.

Although there is still a palace examination, but the palace examination does not remove personnel, but the ranking is slightly adjusted.However, no matter how you adjust it, as long as there are no major accidents, Gu Ting is at least among the top two, and even if you get into the eyes of the Holy One in the palace examination, the top one will have a chance.

Only Zhang Ming is a little bit disappointed, and it's not easy to show it in front of the celebration.

Both Li Zhengliang and Gu Ting were hard to say, and it seemed that they didn't feel pain in their backs when they were standing and talking.

On the contrary, Zhang Ming adjusted himself slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, the failure is expected. When the next subject comes, my name will definitely be on the list!"

"So ambitious!" Li Zhengliang patted him on the shoulder.

It is a great joy to get the result of the general examination, but it is the palace examination in April, and usually even if you win the Gongshi, you will not make a lot of noise and entertain guests, but wait until the palace examination is over to celebrate. Frequent banquets seem impetuous and flamboyant , this trend is also not happy today.

Li's family just had a meal with their own family, and Gu Ting only invited close friends to set up a table.

After that, everyone closed their doors and read books again.

The imperial examination is coming soon.

The palace examination only takes one day, and the papers are graded for three days.

Gu Ting is the No.3 in the test, in the first row in the ranking, facing the emperor.Gu Ting seemed to bow his head to examine the question, but he took the time to feel the so-called dragon spirit.When he used his spiritual power to investigate, he seemed to see a soaring golden dragon in a trance, and a dragon chant resounded, which shocked him to withdraw his spiritual power, and tightened his hand holding the pen, almost losing his dignity.

Although he didn't understand why this happened, he didn't dare to probe further.

Since there are cultivators in the world, there may also be dragon prestige that cannot be offended.

Gu Ting felt that he was too reckless.

Concentrate your mind now and answer the questions seriously.

The day before the release of the list, the tributes went to the Imperial College to pick up Jinshi's scarves and uniforms, and entered the palace on time the next day.

Jiang Jinshu also brought Xiaoxue and Chang Le to the street. At this time, the street was surrounded by common people, waiting for Zhuangyuan Lang to parade in the street to praise officials.Seeing that it was getting late, finally there was movement at the palace gate.

But seeing the leader coming forward on a white horse, a team of officers and soldiers clearing the way with gongs on their shoulders, and two ministers accompanying him, this man is the number one scholar in the Jinke, and his glory today is incomparable.Zhuangyuan Lang has passed his thirties, he is handsome, and he is considered young among the Jinshi.The No. [-] Tanhua followed from the left and the right, and then came the second and third.

"Look, lady! Fourth master!" Xiaoxue laughed happily.

Jiang Jinshu naturally saw it.

Although Gu Ting was not the number one scholar, he was selected as Tanhua. He was gentle and elegant, elegant and elegant, and looked at the youngest, but he was even more eye-catching than the number two.All of a sudden, there were a lot of champagne, hairpin rings, and flowers thrown at Gu Ting, but Gu Ting didn't pick them up. He just dodged slightly to avoid being hit in the face. Seeing Jiang Jinshu in the crowd, he smiled brightly.

Jiang Jinshu suddenly felt that a man could smile so dazzlingly.

The first and third ranks were awarded on the spot, and all of them were custom-made. Gu Ting was Tanhua, who entered the Hanlin as the editor of Zheng Qipin.

Li Zhengliang was at the bottom of the second class, and he didn't want to be released, and he didn't want to go to other departments, so he decided to take the exam again, and entered the Imperial Academy as a scholar, and stayed in the academy after three years.It seems that the grade in the Hanlin Academy is not high, but it is the most noble. Starting from the Hanlin Academy, the future is even more promising.

Zhang Ming failed the exam and had to wait three years for the exam. Now that the dust has settled, he plans to return home.

Gu Ting asked the court for leave to visit relatives in his hometown. This is also the norm in the officialdom, and many newly recruited officials have to return to their hometowns.Gu Ting and Zhang Ming will come back together at that time.The Zhang family had already planned for Zhang Ming that if he failed this subject, he would find a place for him to study in the Imperial College.

He hurriedly arrived at Yongyang Mansion, he hadn't gone to see his mentor Zhangtai, but he was greeted personally by the magistrate, who was invited by the magistrate.The other party said that it was congratulations to Tanhua in high school and won glory for the local area. The prefect led a group of officials to hold a banquet on behalf of the local area to clean up the dust for Tanhualang.

Gu Ting couldn't refuse, he apologized and said with a smile: "Thank you for the kindness of the prefect Tian and all the lords, it's just that the official today is all thanks to the teacher's teaching, now I need to meet the teacher first, and I hope the magistrate and all the lords will be sympathetic. "

"It should be, Gu Tanhua doesn't have to worry too much." Tong Pan had a pleasant expression, and the two chatted a few more words before parting.

Seeing that it was getting late, and I went to Zhang's house again, I couldn't go back to town today.

Gu Ting ordered Chang Le to go back and report the letter first, so as to save Mrs. Gu from worrying.
