Bai Shan also knew him, not only did he know, they often met in the library when they were in Guozixue. Compared with him, Wang Wenji at that time was more famous.
But it's not necessarily the case now, but when it comes to articles, Wang Wenji should be better, and Bai Shan's ranking is fourth.
As soon as Bai Shan's name was pronounced, the people in the private room booed and asked him to buy wine for everyone to celebrate. After all, it is very good to be ranked fourth in the essay competition in Zhuangyuan Building.
Feng Zongping enviously said: "You can leave next year, if my article can enter the top 30, I will also leave next year."
The voice just fell, and the seventh place has been read below, "Seventh place, Zhou Man—"
The lively crowd around Bai Shan fell silent, and Qi Qi turned to look at Zhou Man who was sitting beside him.
Zhao Liulang: "Yes, you also wrote just now..."
Man Bao said: "The seventh place has no prize, what are you happy about?"
In fact, the downstairs was also quiet for a while, and someone whispered, "Who is Zhou Man? I haven't heard of it."
"I've heard of one, Zhou Man, the imperial physician of the imperial hospital."
"Hey, aren't you bragging? I've heard of it too. I also know that she was compiled by the Chongwen Museum. But isn't this Zhouman that Zhouman?"
"It should be. If you can compare with the seventh place, you must have some reputation, right? But I haven't heard of a scholar named Zhou Man submitting an article recently."
"It's her. Wasn't she on the third floor just now?"
The judges who announced the ranking paused for a moment before continuing to read: "Eighth place, Yi Ziyang—"
Upstairs, Feng Zongping stared at Zhou Man in disbelief, "I don't believe it, I can't compare with Bai Shan, I admit it, after all, he is smarter and harder than me, but you..."
Man Bao immediately said: "I am also smarter than you, and harder than you!"
Feng Zongping looked constipated, "You may be smarter than me, but you must not work harder than me in studying classics and history. You are an imperial physician, and you have been compiling medical books. You do so many things every day, I don't believe your articles You can write better than me!"
Zhao Liulang and others didn't believe it, so they gathered around one after another and asked, "What did you write in your article? Could it be that the judges below thought you were a fifth-rank editor, so they flattered you and gave you a ranking?"
Man Bao dissatisfied: "Am I this kind of cheating person? My article is well written."
She said: "Isn't it just to ask about the flood of the Yellow River? In June, every time the great court will quarrel over this matter, I have also been familiar with poetry and books since I was a child. There is something to be said, why can't I take the seventh place?"
In fact, she thinks her idea is quite good, but she doesn't know what Bai Shan and Wang Wenji wrote, they are ranked higher than her, and she hasn't questioned them yet, why should she question her
As soon as everyone was quiet, Feng Zongping calmed down immediately, and said "Oh" with a flat face, "I forgot, you are qualified to attend the Great Court Meeting."
My heart is crazy, so what, this is the person who can see the emperor and all the important ministers in the court every month. Even if she doesn't participate in the important policies of the country, she will listen to them, okay
Zhao Liulang and the others also calmed down instantly, and left immediately, "Forget it, forget it, they didn't get the top three, and the number one winner won't win. We can't let them spend money."
Bai Shan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and said to Man Bao: "Tomorrow we will come to the Zhuangyuan Building to read the posted articles."
He also wanted to take a look at the top three articles and compare his differences.
Man Bao nodded fiercely, "Why don't you go back and show me your article first? In fact, the idea of my writing was proposed by Mr. Fang from the Ministry of Industry. The month has been arguing until now and there is no conclusion."
Man Bao listened to it for two months, and felt that Mr. Fang's proposal was very good. Although it cost a lot and took a long time, once it was completed, it would be beneficial for thousands of years.
Moreover, she also wrote some small suggestions of her own, and she felt that she was more perfect, so why did she take the seventh place
The judges had reached the twenty-eighth place, and it was Feng Zongping, followed by Bai Dalang at the twenty-ninth place.
And one of Bai Dalang's three classmates ranked ahead of him.
As soon as he heard Bai Zhi's name, he immediately turned his head and said to Bai Zhi: "Zhengjian, let's go out and try next year together?"
If you can enter the top 30, you can go to the Jinshi Department to give it a try. Although Jinshi is not just about policy theory, there are also poems and scriptures, and the papers are also more difficult.
But tonight, there are so many capable people and strangers gathered in the Zhuangyuan Building, and some of them are "old people" who like to join in the fun. If they can be ranked in the top 30 here, it is very likely that they will pass the Jinshi examination.
And every year after the Mid-Autumn Festival, only these 30 people are famous.
Bai Zhi nodded again and again, and his confidence doubled for a while.
Bai Erlang kept listening with his ears up. He couldn't hear his name for a long time, so he went to lie down on the window, and he couldn't help pursing his lips when he heard that he was still missing after reading to thirty-five.
The person who was also listening by the window smiled and asked him, "Bai Er, what do you think is your number?"
Bai Erlang was a little scared, "Wouldn't it be unnamed on the list?"
Then when the master finds out, will he be punished for writing this topic ten times
Bai Shan, Man Bao, and Bai Dalang also came up together, listened with him, and when they saw nothing, they comforted him: "It's okay, we won't tell sir."
Bai Erlang was about to cry, "I knew I wouldn't write, but you wouldn't know if you didn't tell Mr.? Before leaving, Mr. specifically asked Bai Shan to write carefully and check his level."
Therefore, Mr. Huihui must ask them in detail about the articles and rankings they made.
Just when she was sad, she heard the judges read: "The thirty-ninth place, Bai Cheng—"
The heart that Bai Erlang was holding was relieved at once, and he became happy, "Yes, yes, oops, there are still thirty-nine places. Fortunately, I didn't lose the list, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to my husband when I go back."
Bai Shan and the others also became happy, and Man Bao directly showed the demeanor of a senior sister, "I will treat you to roast lamb when I go downstairs in a while."
Bai Erlang said: "This is what you said, then I will eat two."
"no problem."
A serving of roast mutton is only ten cents, she can afford it!
Now all the participants heard their rankings, so they clamored to change the venue.
Zhao Liulang also invited Bai Dalang, "We are going to Chunfeng Tower, Brother Zhengjian, do you want to come with us?"
Bai Dalang declined, and Bai Erlang on the side said unceremoniously: "Don't spoil my elder brother, my sister-in-law is still waiting for my elder brother in the lighthouse of my house."
Zhao Liulang laughed hahaha, "It turns out that there is still Mrs. Sister-in-law who wants to accompany you, so we won't bother you. Let's go, let's go, it's busy going to Chunfeng Tower right now, and we won't be able to catch up with tonight if it's too late." It's the show."
