Ge Xiaomao rushed through the door and happily looked at Fang Yun. He then bent down and held his knees as he gasped for breath.
"Sit down and rest." Fang Yundao said.
"You, why don't you care at all? That's the top scholar! That's right, you're a double A student! Our Jingguo has never had a double A student. Everyone says that our Jingguo is the Heaven Wasteland. This is great. Now everyone in the Wen Institute is saying that you broke the Heaven Wasteland! "
"It's really a double A student?" Fang Yun was surprised. He thought that the Sage's Speech could only get a B student.
"Of course! It's written clearly on the Golden Roll. Without Half-saint's approval, the results will not be released. That's right, I could have come earlier. But I came late because I saw a good show. "Ge Xiaomao said with a smile.
Yang Yu leaned against the door frame and listened carefully. She could not help but want to know more about Fang Yun. She liked to listen.
"What good show?" Fang Yun asked.
"You know Fang Zhongyong right? Before the results were released, everyone thought that he was the top scholar. No one thought that it would be you. Fang Zhongyong was fine. He was just unhappy. But his father threw a tantrum. He questioned whether there was a problem with the county examination and asked for the papers to be checked. Just then, County Magistrate Cai came out. County Magistrate Cai said that if Fang Zhongyong's poem could also become Mingzhou and the Sage's Speech was correct, then he would ask for the Sage's Speech again. "
"And then?"
"And then the whole audience was shocked. A poem that could become Mingzhou. Even Hanlin might not be able to produce a Grand Scholar. How many of Half-saint's poems could be from Mingzhou? His father was scared. His father also knew that without the Sage's approval, you would not be able to get a double A student. Fang Yun, how did you suddenly become so talented? "Ge Xiaomao said with excitement and admiration.
Fang Yun pretended to be surprised and said: "Didn't I say before the examination? I met my teacher and was enlightened by him. That's why I understood a lot of things. "
Ge Xiaomao said with a smile: "Can you tell me who your teacher is? To enlighten you, he must be at least a great scholar right? Is it Half-saint? "
"I don't know either." Fang Yun said helplessly.
"Right, what about that Liu Zicheng?"
Before yesterday's exam, Ge Xiaomao and the others only found out that Fang Yun had been beaten up, so they came to Fang Yun's house this morning to ask what had happened. Fang Yun briefly explained the matter, and these few classmates sympathized with him, but there was nothing they could do.
"Let's not talk about him first. Since I'm a scholar, he won't dare to do anything to me. By the way, how are you guys? "
Ge Xiaomao said happily, "Lu Lin also made it. Although he's only nineteen, not as good as you, he still made those classmates envious. Mr. Sun also went. He was grinning from ear to ear. Now, many parents wanted to send their children to his private school. Sigh, Mr. Sun's school fees are going to increase again. "
"That's good. After we finish paying our respects to the All Saints Hall tomorrow, I'll go see Mister Sun." Fang Yun said.
"But it's a pity for Liang Yuan. He said that if he didn't make it this time, he won't take the exam. He doesn't want to run his father's rice shop, but he has no choice. But Liang Yuan has a good head for business, so you don't have to worry about him. "
Fang Yun nodded and chatted with Ge Xiaomao. They also talked about the holy words and poems. Fang Yun told Ge Xiaomao some of his opinions, which made Ge Xiaomao go wild with joy, and he carefully memorized it.
Not long after, more than ten people carrying things arrived outside the courtyard.
"Eldest nephew, I've come to congratulate you!" Fang Yun's uncle walked in with an exaggerated expression. In his left hand was a large pig's head, and in his right hand was two strings of two thousand copper coins, which was equivalent to two taels of silver.
Fang Yun didn't think that even his uncle would become so generous. The money in Jingguo was not the same as on Earth where money was worthless.
Here, three copper coins could buy a big bun. In terms of food, three copper coins were equivalent to one yuan in the era of soaring prices.
In total, one tael of silver in Saint Origin World was equivalent to three hundred yuan.
Fang Yun and Yang Yuhuan had been working hard to earn money, but they only managed to save thirteen taels of silver when they were still children. Even though his uncle's family was a butcher and was relatively wealthy, they only had four to five hundred taels of silver.
In Ji County, four to five hundred taels of silver was enough to buy a decent house in the county.
"Uncle, aunt, aunt …" Fang Yun called out everyone in one breath, and then invited them to sit in the house.
These relatives all brought gifts and money. Just four of them gave nearly four taels of silver.
Before these relatives from Fang Yun's mother's family could sit down, more than ten relatives from Fang Yun's father's family came in. They also brought gifts that were more than ten times the usual amount.
Using Fang Yun's uncle's words, even a fool would know that Fang Yun would at least become a High Scholar in the future.
After becoming a High Scholar, as long as he tidied up a little, he would be able to become an eighth rank official. If he worked hard, he could even become a third rank official.
Fang Yun received these relatives very politely, without the slightest arrogance of a future High Scholar. These relatives were all very reasonable, and no one dared to be arrogant in front of the double armored student who "broke Jingguo Tian Huang".
Fang Yun originally wanted to receive these relatives and friends, but Yang Yuhuan reminded him that the county magistrate still had a literary meeting. Fang Yun hurriedly apologized to his relatives and friends, but they did not blame him. Instead, they urged him to leave quickly and not delay the literary meeting.
Fang Yun rushed towards Ji Xiang Restaurant. There were not many people on the street, and many people were still in front of the literary institute to join in the fun. Only Fang Yun's relatives and friends knew that Fang Yun was a High Scholar, so they immediately went to his house to withdraw money and buy things.
Passing by the alley from yesterday, Fang Yun stopped and looked around. He took a deep breath and continued to walk towards Ji Xiang Restaurant.
Without waiting for Fang Yun to enter, Ji Xiang Restaurant's Shopkeeper Zhen came out to greet him. When he saw Fang Yun, his expression changed and he angrily said, "Didn't I tell you not to come? Get out immediately. The county magistrate is upstairs. If you disturb him, you won't have a good time. "
Fang Yun stared blankly for a moment before coming to his senses. He revealed a strange expression and asked, "You didn't go to the county's literary institute to see the results?"
Shopkeeper Zhen impatiently said, "The annual literary meeting is held here. I'm so busy that I'm about to die. Why would I go to the literary institute? I already said this morning that you're not allowed to enter Ji Xiang Restaurant. If you take another step forward, I'll call someone to break your legs! "
Fang Yun recalled Shopkeeper Zhen's words this morning and his expression darkened. He said, "Shopkeeper Zhen, don't go too far! I, Fang Yun, as a High Scholar, am going to attend the county magistrate's literary meeting. If I want to enter this restaurant, you can't stop me! "
"I can't stop you? I … What did you say? You became a High Scholar? That's simply laughable! Are you out of your mind? Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are? Get out of here right now! Do you hear me? "Shopkeeper Zhen didn't believe Fang Yun at all.
Fang Yun had worked at Ji Xiang Restaurant for more than two years. At first, Shopkeeper Zhen thought that Fang Yun might have a promising future. However, as his understanding of Fang Yun deepened, he looked down on Fang Yun more and more. He even let his son, who was a High Scholar, take the Fang Yun exam. His son believed that Fang Yun would never be able to pass the exam, so he became more and more cold towards Fang Yun. Furthermore, because he wanted to marry Yang Yuhuan, he was even more harsh towards Fang Yun.
Fang Yun coldly said, "Since you're the owner of Ji Xiang Restaurant and you won't let me in, then I won't enter. When County Magistrate Cai asks, just tell him that you're the one who chased me out. Goodbye. "
Fang Yun originally wanted to borrow County Magistrate Cai's hand to teach Shopkeeper Zhen a lesson, but he suddenly had a bright idea and thought of a better way.
Fang Yun grabbed a handful of copper coins from his money pouch and loudly said to the passersby, "Everyone from the south and north, do you see the money in my hand? I'm going to give you a riddle now. The first person to answer it will get the money! Don't miss out on this opportunity. Taking money for free, whoever doesn't take it is an idiot! "
The people nearby were immediately attracted and soon more than ten people surrounded the restaurant. When the people in the distance saw the crowd, they immediately ran over to see what was going on.
Ji Xiang Restaurant was located on the most bustling street in the county. Soon, it was surrounded by three layers of people inside and outside. The people on the second floor nearby also looked down.
Wang Yuanjun was sitting by the window. When she looked out, she couldn't help but smile and say, "County Magistrate, it's Fang Yun."
"What's going on?" County Magistrate Cai walked over and looked down. The others also walked over to the window and looked down.
They saw Fang Yun standing in the crowd, tossing more than twenty copper coins back and forth.
"Quickly give me a riddle! Are you going back on your word? "
"Quickly say it."
"Isn't this person Fang Yun? He just won the double armor chief exam, why is he playing here? "
Shopkeeper Zhen was originally watching coldly from the side, but when he heard these words, he broke out in cold sweat. He was momentarily stunned and couldn't believe that Fang Yun had really won the double armor chief exam.
Fang Yun loudly said, "I'm going to make a crooked poem as a riddle. If you want to guess something, it's also something that every family has. Alright, listen to me: a sharp head, a body as white as silver, not a single hair on the body, eyes on the buttocks, only recognizing the clothes and not the person. Who knows what this thing is? If you guess it correctly, there will be a prize. "
County Magistrate Cai, who was on the second floor, couldn't help but laugh softly and ask, "How did Shopkeeper Zhen offend him? This Fang Yun, his mouth is sharper than a knife. "
"Even cursing people is so clever, worthy of being a double armor scholar." A refined old man in his fifties said with a smile.
At this time, someone in the crowd raised his hand and shouted, "I know, it's a needle! It's a needle used to sew clothes! Isn't a needle's eye on the buttocks? Needles only recognize the clothes and not the person. "
"Correct! This money is yours! Eyes on the buttocks, only recognizing the clothes and not the person, it's a needle! "Fang Yun said as he pointed at Shopkeeper Zhen.
Those who knew Shopkeeper Zhen roared with laughter.
Someone jeered, "Worthy of being a double armor chief exam chief, his talent soars to the heavens, even cursing people with a poem! Shopkeeper Zhen, why aren't you saying anything? Turn around and let us see if you have eyes on the buttocks! "
This time, even those who didn't know Shopkeeper Zhen knew what was going on and laughed along.
At this time, Duan Hu, who had gone out to buy groceries, came back. When he saw Fang Yun, he shouted, "Fang Yun, congratulations on being first place! You're someone from our Auspicious Restaurant. In the future, our restaurant's doorstep will be trampled. When you become the top scholar, I can say that I'm a friend of the top scholar's husband. "
Shopkeeper Zhen had offended many people, so someone immediately said in a strange tone, "The top scholar recognized Shopkeeper Zhen, but Shopkeeper Zhen might not know the top scholar's husband. In Shopkeeper Zhen's eyes, even a grand scholar is nothing."
Shopkeeper Zhen used his trembling hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, cursing Duan Hu's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart. If Duan Hu had come earlier, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
