Hearing this, Yang Jingming was a little scared. He knew his own capabilities, and now that he was being said like this, he couldn't help but whisper in Yang Hao's ear,"
"Yang Hao, I think this year's county examination is quite impressive. Why don't we go back and take the examination next year? It's embarrassing to leave now.”
Yang Hao glanced at his father. What was there to be afraid of? They were nothing. He had his son to help him with the questions, so why would he be afraid of not being on the list? He also lowered his voice and said,
"Father, have you forgotten how we were bullied at home? Have you forgotten why we're here? Look at the carriage parked outside. Do we deserve that carriage to drag us here? Think about my poem,"Green Jade Case", and you want to go back now? Then all our previous efforts will have been for naught!"
Yang Jingming's heart was filled with fear. When he heard this, he was shocked. His son was right. How could he be afraid at the last minute? The most important thing was that he remembered the low watchtower of the Green Jade Case. He could not help but raise his head and say in a sonorous tone,"Your words won't affect me. To tell you the truth, not only do I want to take the exam, but I also want to take the lead in the county examination!”
Of course, getting the first place in the county examination was purely to encourage himself. Yang Jingming himself did not believe that he could get first place, but he knew that in front of his son, he had to set an example. He either claimed that he did not do it or claimed that he did it the best. Even if the result was not good, it was still worthy of himself!
"You took the lead in the county examination? Are you looking down on Young Master Zheng, Young Master Lu, and Young Master Cui?”
"You're too arrogant!"
The others couldn't help but laugh, and some of the scholars couldn't help but burst into laughter. Cui Chen laughed so hard that tears were about to come out. He panted for a while before clapping his hands and praising,
"Alright, alright, alright. Since you say so, then I, Cui, will wait and see how you will become the Chief Examiner of the County Examination. If you can really become the Chief Examiner of the County Examination, I, Cui, will serve you for the rest of my life!”
After he finished speaking, he opened the paper fan with a smile. As he waved it, he leisurely returned to the Hu stool and sat down. He then began to chat with Young Master Zheng and Young Master Lu in a low voice.
At this time, Li Er looked at Yang Jingming deeply and praised him in his heart. He was indeed a master. He either did not participate in the scientific examination, or he was the first to participate. No wonder he asked his father to visit him. This heroic spirit could be called the ambition of a swan. It seemed that he had to wait and see.
Thinking of this, Li Er couldn't help but look at Yang Hao, who was standing next to Yang Jingming and telling the innkeeper his father's name. He sighed in his heart. If this child could have half of his father's ambition and talent, it would be considered as not letting down his father's careful guidance. If it really didn't work, he would rely on Yang Jingming to help him get the position of Crown Prince, and he would personally teach Yang Hao.
Yang Hao didn't know what Li Er was thinking. Otherwise, he would have rolled his eyes and shot him a skyrocketing cannon. It was simply like you recognized a mountain in front of a master, and you rode a donkey beside a BMW. If you don't want your eyes, you can donate them.
Yang Hao raised his head and looked at the lobby of the Savant's Restaurant. A huge piece of cloth was placed on the wall from the second floor. The title was " Chang 'an County Examinees List ". At the end, there were three more words, Yang Jingming.
"What is this?" Yang Hao asked curiously.
The innkeeper smiled and said," It's good for you to know that Chang 'an City is divided into Wannian County and Chang' an County. Every year, the two counties will hold such a bet. The winner can go to Pingkang Lane to leave a pen and ink for those young ladies to win their favor. As for us, we can pay as a bet on the candidate's name on the Golden Roll. What if we win? Wouldn't that make us rich?"
" That makes sense, but the problem is, why don't you say you lost?" Yang Hao scoffed." You only say good things and don't say bad things. No wonder there are so many gamblers who commit suicide every year."
"Why is the odds of my father winning the first place in the county examination one to three hundred?”Yang Hao looked at the rankings and was shocked to find that after his father's name was on the rankings, there was a betting rate.
The inn owner laughed awkwardly and said,""This is not something I can decide. Our inn has specialized people to calculate these and allocate the odds according to each person's potential.”
Then wouldn't I be rich? Yang Hao's eyes lit up. This was the time to earn money, but the problem was that he didn't have the money to bet!
Yang Hao couldn't help but feel troubled. He tilted his head and swept his gaze over the Ferghana Horse parked outside the inn. The smile on his face gradually became unbridled. Wasn't this money?!
"Shopkeeper, how much do you think a Ferghana Horse is worth?”Yang Hao tugged at the innkeeper's sleeve and asked with a smile,""According to my father's 1-to-300 odds for winning the county examination, if I bet on a Ferghana Horse, wouldn't you have to return me 300 Ferghana Horses?”
Are you giving me money? The inn owner was excited. He looked at Yang Hao with a burning gaze as if he was looking at a huge treasure bowl. He nodded his head and said,"That's right, Langjun is indeed smart. That's the truth!”
"Then I'll bet!" Yang Hao said with satisfaction.”
"Someone, bring that Ferghana Horse to the backyard!”
The inn owner rubbed his hands and said loudly.
Ferghana Horses.
It was hard to find!
He actually got it so easily!
As for whether or not he would compensate Yang Hao with 300 Ferghana Horses, the inn owner was not worried at all. What a joke! If Yang Jingming could become the county chief examiner, even a sow would be climbing a tree!
"If you want to bet, can you ask me?”Suddenly, Li Er's faint voice rang in Yang Hao and the inn owner's ears,""That Ferghana Horse is mine.”
Yang Hao waved his hand." Same, same. When I win 300 Ferghana Horses, I'll return the one at the door with both hands!"”
Getting something for nothing? Li Er was so angry that he laughed. He had been expanding his territory for more than ten years, but this was the first time he had seen such a shrewd person. He raised two fingers and said,"Three hundred Ferghana Horses, I want half.”
Yang Hao pondered for two seconds and looked at him seriously.""Alright, who asked you to pay the capital? When we win the horse, we'll split it half.”
Li Er nodded in satisfaction.
The inn owner looked at the two of them with disdain. Both of them believed that they would win. What kind of joke was this? Could he, Yang Jingming, get the first place in the county examination? Do you know the background of the three young masters that Chang 'an County is referring to this year? I believe that pigs can climb trees, but I don't believe that Yang Jingming can take the county examination!
————
The next morning.
Chang 'an County's examination began in an orderly manner.
