Chapter 842 Third Place [Thank you for your monthly votes]

There are three groups of people to announce the good news. One group is the porters who have been waiting at the bottom of the list early and want to make money by reporting the news; the other group is Xiao Yang Yamen sent by the county government; and the remaining group is Luo Wu. .

Luo Wu knew that Gu Jinan and the others were here, so he specifically told Magistrate Zheng that he would come to tell them the good news.

County Magistrate Zheng admired Gu Jinan very much, especially after reading his county examination policy, he valued Gu Jinan even more. He was waiting for him to look good to Tianfu County during the government and college examinations in high school.

This county's candidates took the government examination and the college examination and passed the examination. As the county magistrate of the examinee, he can also record his merits.

Several groups of people met at the gate of Futai Building. Mr. Xu immediately exclaimed and made a painful expression.

He is quite old. When Xiao Yang and the others see him, they will definitely ask: "What's wrong with Mr. Xu? Is he feeling unwell?"

The porter who came to announce the good news didn't care about Mr. Xu's life or death. He wanted to squeeze into the Futai Building, but was held tightly by Xu Zhaoming's boy.

Mr. Xu said: "I learned that the results were released, so I came to Futai Building to find my grandson. I wanted to hear the good news with him, but I am no longer useful because I have run a few steps and my whole body hurts."

As he spoke, he took a step forward and was the first to step through the door.

When Xiao Yang Yamen and the others saw this, they understood what Mr. Xu was thinking and did not fight him, letting him go first.

Mr. Xu went straight to the private room on the second floor. As soon as he saw Xu Zhaoming's sweaty face, he knew that he had not guessed the crossword puzzle. He immediately cursed: "You arrogant brat, how dare you take the opportunity to entertain a fellow student to embarrass others, Xu Zhaoming." Have you forgotten all the family rules? I will beat you to death today for being a fool who disrespects your fellow students!"

As he said that, he picked up his crutch and was about to hit someone.

Xu Liang reacted quickly and hurriedly stopped him: "Uncle, please don't get angry. Brother Ming has no intention of humiliating our fellow students. We are just guessing riddles and competing with each other."

Gu Jinan sat next to him, watching the Xu family acting, but he didn't smile.

Mr. Xu kept looking at Gu Jinan from the corner of his eye. When he saw this, he walked over and said to Gu Jinan: "Brother An, don't argue with Brother Ming. He left home when he was young and has no adult to discipline him. He is a little arrogant." Lets forget about winning or losing, okay?

After speaking, he bowed his hands and saluted Gu Jinan.

Gu Jinan hurriedly stood up and helped him up without letting him finish the ceremony: "You are too serious. We are just waiting for the results and guessing word puzzles for fun. We have no real intention to decide whether to win or lose."

Da Chu people pay attention to filial piety, and literati pay more attention to respecting the elderly. It doesnt matter whether the old man is from your family, as long as he is older than you, you have to respect him.

Hence, Mr. Xu came to plead for mercy in person. Gu Jinan could not help Xu Zhaoming. Otherwise, if word spread, others would say that he was unethical and disrespectful to the elderly.

When Mr. Xu heard this, he let go of his worries and shouted to Xu Zhaoming: "Why don't you come over quickly and thank Brother An of the Gu family!"

Xu Zhaoming felt so embarrassed that he couldn't move at all.

While he was hesitating, the porter who came to report the news had already rushed up and shouted: "Young man, I have good news for Master Xu. You are leaping over the dragon gate with golden scales, and you are third in the high school county examination!"

Third place?

Xu Zhaoming was stunned, with a smile on his face, and asked the porter who announced the good news: "What did you say? Where am I in the county examination?"

He was just waiting for the high school county case chief to save face. How could he only get third place in the exam? !

However, the porter shouted again with a smile on his face: "Bringing good news to Mr. Xu, you are leaping over the dragon gate and ranked third in the high school county examination!"

Xu Zhaoming's face turned pale, he staggered and almost fell to the ground. Thanks to his quick eyesight and quick hands, the young man hurriedly supported him.

Xu Zhaoming broke away from the boy's support and asked, "Where's Songlin? He's responsible for reading the rankings. Why haven't he come back yet? Go find him and ask him about the rankings!"

Looking like he didnt believe that he only got third place in the county examination. The Yang family received a lot of care from the Xu family in the county. Young Yamen didn't want Xu Zhaoming to be too embarrassed, so he hurriedly said: "Master Xu, you know that there are many candidates in Futai Building, so you asked me to come to tell you the good news. You are indeed Third place in the high school county examination.

But what Xu Zhaoming wants is to be number one in high school and to be the county chief case officer, so he doesnt care about third place at all!

He didn't want to admit that he failed in the scientific examination, gritted his teeth and said: "Impossible, this ranking is wrong, something must have happened..."

"Shut up!" Mr. Xu's heart almost jumped out of his chest, and he almost hit Xu Zhaoming. Is Brother Ming crazy? He actually dared to question the results of the county examination in public. Was he implying that the county magistrate had committed fraud and that he wanted to enmity with the county magistrate?

Xu Zhaoming woke up and shivered. Fortunately, his grandfather scolded him quickly, otherwise he would have been in big trouble.

But he still didnt give up and asked Xiao Yang, the Yamen official: Who came first or second in the county examination?

Xu Zhaoming stared at Xiao Yang as if he was waiting to be sentenced, shouting in his heart: Anyone can do it, but not Gu Jinan!

However, things went against expectations. Xiao Yang, the Yamen official said: "The county case leader is Gu Jin'an, and the county exam runner-up is Qi Kangming."

After Xu Zhaoming heard this, his mind exploded. He lost, not only to Gu Jinan, but also to the unknown Qi Kangming.

He closed his eyes, waited for the dizziness in his mind to pass, and turned around to look at Qi Kangming with red eyes: "I have never heard of you. You have no talent and fame. How could you get second place in the exam?"

Mr. Xu really wanted to die. He deeply regretted that he should not have sent Xu Zhaoming to study in Jinling. He was influenced by the madmen from the south of the Yangtze River and became so arrogant and seeking death.

The county examination rankings are out, what else are you asking? What's more, it's not your own face that's lost?

Moreover, its just a county exam, its nothing. After that, there will be government exams and college exams. If you cant afford to lose, doesnt it make people look down on you?

Qi Kangming stood up and said: "This is the first time I have heard of Brother Cheng's crossword puzzle. Now I have guessed nine characters. Please listen."

Isnt Xu Zhaoming unconvinced and losing to him? Then he would counterattack with an anagram that the other party couldn't guess.

Qi Kangming said: "The demons and monsters are the four little ghosts, the pipa, harp and harp are the eight kings, and the ten suns and moons above the head are the dynasty. As for the river stars under the feet, I haven't guessed yet."

Xu Zhaoming was shocked after hearing this, and silently recited the answer given by Qi Kangming... The monsters and demons not only carry the word ghost, but they are also the four legendary mountain spirits and ghosts, echoing the theory of the four little ghosts. The pipa, harp, and harp have eight kings on their heads, and they are also the kings of string instruments. They also fit into the theory of the eight kings.

The ten suns and moons are in conjunction with each other to form the dynasty.

Xu Zhaoming's face turned pale, and he felt a sense of frustration in his heart. It was such a simple word, why couldn't he think of it for half an hour?

He lost to Qi Kangming in this crossword puzzle alone. How could he have the dignity to question Qi Kangming's county examination ranking?

He looked at Cheng Ge'er again and asked, "What's the point of stepping on a river of stars?"

Brother Cheng didn't hide it and said with a smile, "It's Qian."

Speaking, he drank some tea and wrote the word "" on the table.

This is a rare word. Many people present did not recognize it and asked: "What is this word? I have never seen it before. Can it also be used to guess crossword puzzles?"

Xu Zhaoming: "It's the character "", which was the character of the Zhou emperor in ancient times. It has the same rise and means the day of Haotian."

Although this word is unfamiliar, Xu Zhaoming has read a biography about the ancient Zhou emperor, and this word is clearly included in the biography and appears many times.

However, he couldn't guess it. It can be seen that although he has learned it, his brain is not as flexible as Gu Jinan and Qi Kangming, and he cannot learn and apply it.
