Actually, the third place should have been Fang Yi 'ai, but as one of the examiners, Fang Xuanling had discussed with the other four examiners to give the third place to Yuchi Baolin in order to avoid suspicion.
Looking at Yuchi Baolin's smug appearance, Du He felt indignant. She stood up and looked at the five examiners."May I ask if there's a mistake? How could that Yuchi Baolin be third in the theory examination?”
There were only three spots in this theory examination. If one spot was announced, there would be one less spot. If Yuchi Baolin got one spot, then his chances would be even less.
Before the five examiners could speak, Yuchi Baolin sneered and said,""Are you questioning the decision of the five examiners? Or do you think that the five examiners are favoring me?”
Hearing this, the faces of the five examiners immediately darkened.
Afraid that his son would do something up his sleeve again, Du Ruhui scolded with a dark face,"Stop talking nonsense! This is a decision made after careful consideration by the five examiners. How can we be wrong!”
Seeing that her father was angry, although Du He was unwilling, she could only shut her mouth and sit down resentfully.
Zhangsun Chong did not expect Yuchi Baolin to take third place either. However, he was determined to be the champion. It did not matter to him who the third place was.
Yuchi Jingde came back to his senses. His skin that was originally as black as the bottom of a pot actually glowed with a red light. His entire person was in a great mood like a spring breeze.
"I didn't expect this brat to be so promising. He's finally given me some face, haha!”
Seeing Yuchi Jingde's smug look, Zhangsun Wuji, Gao Shilian, and the others were displeased, but they didn't say anything.
Kong Yingda continued to announce,"The second place of this theory examination is: The second son of Duke Yi, Qin Huaidao!"
Immediately, envious gazes fell on Qin Huaidao.
Qin Huaidao also stood up and gestured to everyone.
Regarding this second decision, not many people had any objections.
Although Qin Huaidao was close to Cheng Chuyu and the others, his reputation had always been very good. He rarely made enemies with others. He was also successful in his studies at the directorate and deserved the name of a hero.
However, due to Qin Qiong's serious illness, Qin Huaidao had always kept a low profile, so naturally, not many people paid attention to him.
Seeing that the dust had settled on the second place, the faces of Du Hegao and the others became even uglier.
Although there was still a champion who had not been announced, they did not have much confidence.
Seeing that Kong Yingda was about to continue announcing, everyone perked up, wanting to see who would win the championship in one fell swoop.
Kong Yingda didn't try to be mysterious. His eyes were fixed on Cheng Chuyu, and he said loudly,"The champion of this theory examination: State Duke Lu's youngest son, Cheng Chu Yu!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire venue fell into a strange silence!
Almost everyone was stunned on the spot. They could not believe what they had heard!
Hou Sailei felt as if his mind had been struck by lightning, and his brain had been blown into a mess. He was in a trance.
The bad premonition in his heart…In the end, it still came true.
Zhangsun Chong woke up from his daze. His face was deathly pale. He shook his head vigorously as if he wanted to wake himself up. He could not accept the truth he had just heard.
How could he not be the leader?
How could it be that Cheng Chuyu!!
The rest of the young masters from the aristocratic families had ugly expressions on their faces. They had never expected that Cheng Chuyu's wild words would actually come true!
These elites…
He had lost to a rich playboy!
Even if they didn't want to believe it, it had already become an indisputable fact!
Thinking of the words that mocked Cheng Chu Yu earlier, these aristocratic young masters felt their faces burn!
Li Lizhi was so excited that her face was full of pride.
Looking at the ugly expressions of these young masters, Li Lizhi felt happy and relieved!
To let you mock the man this princess fancies! He deserved to be slapped in the face!
In the auditorium, the entire Cheng family suddenly stood up, and everyone's faces were filled with excitement!
Cheng Yaojin's face was flushed red, and his hands and feet were at a loss. He had won so many battles in his life, but he had never been so excited!
At this moment, the entire Cheng family felt proud of Cheng Chuyu from the bottom of their hearts!
Zhangsun Wuji, Gao Shilian, and the others had gloomy and uncertain expressions. The turn of events was completely beyond their expectations.
No one had expected that a profligate son like Cheng Chuyu would actually be able to take first place in the theory examination.
It was to the extent that their sons, who were known as elites, did not even enter the top three…
Zhangsun Chong was unable to accept this fact. He suddenly stood up and said,""Five examiners, I think you must have made a mistake. This Cheng Chuyu is just a good-for-nothing playboy who doesn't know anything and doesn't want to improve. The articles he writes will definitely be unsightly.”
Cheng Chuyu wasn't angry. On the contrary, a smile appeared on his face.
If Zhangsun Chong could calm down and not find fault with him, he would not make things difficult for Zhangsun Chong. The current situation was exactly what he wanted.
Kong Yingda frowned deeply and looked at Zhangsun Chong with dissatisfaction.""Are you questioning the decision of the five examiners?”
Zhangsun Chong cupped his hands, his eyes flickering as he said,"I don't dare. I just feel that this matter is too strange. Can you let me check Cheng Chu Yu's answer sheet?”
Yu Shinan snorted and said unhappily,""This old man wants to know, what right do you have to check the answers of other examinees?”
Zhangsun Chong was still unwilling to give up. He said," I believe that my writing is not inferior to anyone else's. Even if I lose, you should at least let me know why I lost, right?"”
"Fine, since you're not convinced, then this old man will read out this answer sheet and let everyone present judge it, so that you'll be convinced of your loss.”
Yu Shinan regarded the regular script on the answer sheet as a treasure, so he naturally could not hand it over to Zhangsun Chong. He solemnly took out Cheng Chuyu's answer sheet and looked at Cheng Chuyu with a pleasant expression."Little friend, can I read your answer sheet out loud?”
Seeing Yu Shinan, a calligraphy expert of his generation, lowering his status to ask for Cheng Chuyu's opinion, and even calling Cheng Chuyu a little friend, everyone could not help but be surprised.
There were not many people who could be treated like this by Yu Shinan.
"Elder Yu, you're being too serious. Of course it's fine." Cheng Chuyu hurriedly said.”
Cheng Chuyu was very respectful towards this old man who was highly respected in the literary world.
Yu Shinan nodded, then opened the answer sheet and read aloud,"Worry before the world, and be happy after the world!!”
