Fang Xuanling turned around and grabbed the hand excitedly. He saw a tall and thin middle-aged man with a thin chin walk out with a pale face. He immediately exhaled and smiled.
"I've finally found you! I'm Fang Xuanling, the son of the Crown Prince's concubine, Yang Jingming. You told me to look for you in Chang 'an, but you're hiding here!”
Yang Jingming couldn't help but look back at the carriage. Seeing Yang Hao sitting in the carriage, asking him to go out with Fang Xuanling, he took a deep breath and stepped on the coachman's seat to jump to the ground. He bowed slightly to Fang Xuanling, then raised his head and said,
" I'm glad that you know. It's not that I want to hide here with my son, but we have no place to stay in Chang 'an. I know that the exam questions are different from others and have angered the public. You can arrest me, but please don't drag my son down with me!”
"Why did I capture you?" Fang Xuanling was startled, but he immediately understood that he had misunderstood. He hurriedly waved his hand and said,
"Don't make wild guesses. I'm not here to arrest you, but to congratulate you. You've made it onto the roll for this year's county examination, and you're the top candidate for this year's county examination, the only candidate who's on the roll!”
As he spoke, Fang Xuanling pointed at the firecrackers in the hands of a few green-robed officials in the distance. He smiled and said,"Look, I've brought you firecrackers. I plan to light them for you to celebrate later!”
Yang Jingming looked at him in shock and pointed at himself."I, I got it?"
" What? He got it?!" Not only was Yang Jingming in disbelief, but there was also a scream in the carriage. Then, the curtain was lifted. Cui Chen's face was filled with disbelief. He walked out with a paper fan and said in surprise," How is this possible?!"
At this moment, the civil and military officials who were helping to find Yang Jingming's whereabouts also noticed who Fang Xuanling was talking to. They immediately realized that they had found him and quickly walked over. They smiled and cupped their hands at Yang Jingming.
"Congratulations!"
"Yang Jingming, right? You're too amazing. You're ranked first in such a special county examination this year. You're truly the head of the case!”
Yang Jingming watched as more and more officials dressed in various official robes cupped their hands at him to congratulate him, especially those who were wearing purple official robes and above. He was at a loss as to what to do. He quickly followed suit and cupped his hands to thank them.
The congratulatory voices spread from one to ten to a hundred. Originally, the surrounding examinees were all examinees. In addition, the civil and military officials were wearing official robes that were too eye-catching. The examinees also pricked up their ears to listen carefully to what they said.
Initially, they thought that they were also here to cause trouble for Yang Jingming. When they heard them congratulate Yang Jingming, the examinees suddenly widened their eyes and looked incredulous.
Yang Jingming got it?
And the head of the county examination?
"This is impossible!"
"How can Yang Jingming be the head of the case? His test papers have been posted. What is written on them? It's simply nonsense.!”
More and more examinees gathered around, and someone could not help but ask.
"Do you know why his test paper was posted?”Fang Xuanling raised his eyebrows when he saw that someone was questioning him. He swept his gaze across the thousands of examinees who had gathered, lifted his robe, bent his knees slightly, and jumped onto the carriage. Then, he pointed at Yang Jingming and shouted,
"Because this year's county examination is very different from the previous ones. This year's county examination was set by a saint, and there is only one answer to this question, and this answer was written by Yang Jingming alone. That was why his questions could be posted on the five-foot wall and made public in the form of a ranking, so that you could read his essay!”
Fang Xuanling, you can turn black into white, and white into black with your mouth!
Hearing his words, the civil and military officials who had come to join in the fun were so angry that their noses were almost crooked. They glared at him angrily. They did not know who had said something in the imperial court just now, saying that such an article should be publicly announced as a form of punishment. Now, they had directly praised him!
"Let's look at you guys!" Fang Xuanling's old face did not blush at all. Instead, he looked righteous and awe-inspiring. He glared at the examinees and pointed at them as he cursed,
"Look at what you've written. This year's county exam didn't even have a 'suitable for slow' answer. All of them wrote 'suitable for war'. Wasn't Yang Jingming's paper clear enough? Let me tell you, the Imperial Court has decided to temporarily negotiate peace with the Turks! This official will now inform you that the 2,150 examinees from the two counties have all failed the roll!!”
Failed?
And everyone except Yang Jingming?
The examinees were even more shocked. They looked at each other and understood that what the head examiner said was true. They had really failed the roll!
Everyone looked at Yang Jingming with a complicated gaze. Who would have thought that this change would happen so quickly? Not long ago, it was said that he had offended the head examiner because of the questions. It turned out that this was not the case at all. The truth was that he was the only one who had answered correctly in this county examination, which was why the examination paper was posted.
"At the Savant's Restaurant Inn, this Yang Jingming lives next door to me. He's really hardworking. He studies until late at night every night before going to bed.”
"Look at what he's wearing. It's obvious that he's not wearing good clothes, but I heard that he's sitting in a carriage pulled by a ferghana horse. This is called remembering the bitter and remembering the sweet.”
"What a role model!"
For a time, many examinees tried to ease their relationship with Yang Jingming to avoid being hated by him. The atmosphere of flattery spread with Yang Jingming as the center.
Yang Jingming's ears were sharp, and he felt a little embarrassed when he heard it. Fang Xuanling saw this scene and pulled him onto the carriage. After he stood up high, he smiled and said,"Jingming, you're the first in the county examination and the only candidate on the list. I'm sure everyone wants to hear what you have to say.”
"What? Do you want me to say it?" Yang Jingming suddenly became nervous. He wanted to turn back and ask Yang Hao for his opinion, but with so many people staring at him, he had to bite the bullet and say,
"Actually…"
"All of this…"
"It's all thanks to my son!"
