Chapter 269
In the past, when Li Kuan attended departmental evening parties, he would always be confused when it came to the lottery.
When drawing the third prize, I not only hope that I can win, but also don’t hope to win. In other words, when I don’t win, I comfort myself by saying that I am lucky that I didn’t win, otherwise I would have missed the grand prize.
Then when the second prize was drawn, I felt a little anxious.
If you win, I think it’s not bad, it’s already the second prize.
If I didn't win, I would still be a little bit lucky, thinking that I still had a chance to win the first prize.
However, most of it is just worry.
After all, the number of places for the first prize is very small. If you don’t win the third prize or the second prize, do you have to win the first prize?
Wang Sheng's mood at this moment was probably similar to Li Kuan's before.
Seeing that I am not among the top three, I feel normal and lucky at the same time.
After all, he still has great confidence in himself.
"Brother, don't be anxious. Let these top three people be happy for a while first."
Wang Sheng glanced at Wang Jie next to him, and pretended to be calm and comforted him.
"The people on the top three list of Mingshu Science are all from Guanshishan Academy."
Wang Jie was originally in a calm mood and looked calm and unhurried; but in a short period of time, the twenty people in the top three were all from Guanshishan Academy, and the news spread to the crowd in front of the Gongyuan Gate.
Winning the top three awards is not a rare thing. There cannot be more than a hundred people every year, and it is not likely that the people of Chang'an City will remember anyone.
However, if the top three students in a certain subject are all from the same state, county or college, the impact will be completely different.
Just like in the 2008 Olympics, Phelps won 8 gold medals alone, and Italy won a total of 8 gold medals. These are completely two concepts.
Does anyone know how many gold medals Italy has won?
Even their own people don’t know much about it.
And those who know that Phelps won eight gold medals are definitely several times or even dozens of times more than the latter.
Today's Guanshishan Academy has caused a similar response in front of the Gongyuan Gate as when Phelps won eight gold medals at the 2008 Olympics.
Wang Jie's words made Wang Sheng feel slightly uncomfortable, but before he could say anything, the top two rankings were announced.
"Mr. Lang, you're hit, you're hit!"
"Haha, Erjia, I won the Erjia!"
There is no essential difference between the reflections of people who are in the second grade, and those who are in the third grade.
Li Kuan even saw an elderly scholar not far away, who was exactly the same as the one described in Fan Jin's Zhongju, saying: "Hey! Okay! I won!"
As he spoke, he stumbled back, clenched his teeth, and fell unconscious.
This caused the surrounding crowd to panic for a while.
Fortunately, the Jinwu Guards who maintained order in the surrounding area were not the first to see this kind of scene, and they quickly dealt with it.
"Your Majesty, the top three and the top two are secure. They are all from our academy. Now we are just short of the top one."
Xu Jingzong could not hide his excitement at the side. At this point, even if there is not a single student from Guanshishan Academy in the first class, this year's Chun Gui can be regarded as successful and famous.
"Lin Ran didn't participate in the Ming Medical Department. I didn't expect that if he was asked to take the Ming Arithmetic Department, he would actually get the top grade."
Li Kuan felt that compared to Lin Ran's talent, he was really a scumbag.
A top student is indeed a top student.
"Congratulations, Brother Lin."
"Congratulations, Brother Jia!"
"Brother He, we rejoice together!"
In the crowd of students at Guanshishan Academy, everyone was congratulating each other.
However, Liu Yuan, Chen Xing, and Liu Jie, Liu Yuan's younger brother, were a little nervous.
Fortunately, Liu Yuan and Chen Xing are usually among the best in arithmetic in the academy, and they are recognized as the number one seed players.
But as for Liu Jie, his level fluctuates up and down. When he is good, he can be in the top five, but when he is bad, he may not even be in the top thirty.
Now, he is the most mysterious person.
Of course, not only was he very nervous at the scene, Wang Sheng not far away was not much better either.
They say they are determined to win the No. 1 pick, but before the results are announced, who dares to say that they will definitely win the No. 1 spot?
Although this is not exactly the same as the lottery situation, the truth is sometimes similar.
As the number of winners continues to increase, there may not be many left in the end, but it does not mean that the first prize is yours.
"Fourth! You can do it!"
Wang Jie not only encouraged Wang Sheng, but also encouraged himself.
Among the family members participating in this year's spring boudoir, it seemed that except for a familiar name among the top three in Ming Jing Ke, there was no movement.
According to Wang Jie's understanding, none of the others are capable of passing the first grade, which means that the Taiyuan Wang family will almost be wiped out if dozens of their children take part in the imperial examination this year.
This is completely different from what I expected.
Originally, with Wang Sheng's arithmetic skills, Wang Jie didn't need to worry.
However, who would have thought that Guanshishan Academy suddenly popped up halfway, occupying the second and third place in the calculation list.
It is simply unheard of and unseen.
In this case, you can't help but worry yourself.
"call!"
Wang Sheng took a deep breath and was too nervous to reply to Wang Jie's words.
"Your Majesty, the top list will be posted soon!"
Xu Jingzong saw a group of people walking out of the Gongyuan and came under the wall.
The list of first-class players is announced, which is slightly different from the second-class and third-class names.
The latter directly publishes the entire list, and it is clear at a glance who has won and who has not.
So once the list was announced, the scene immediately became lively.
However, the first-level rankings are different, and there are only three people in total: No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 overall.
Taking into account the huge impact of the imperial examination on a person's destiny, in order to highlight the difference between the first-class candidates, the names of the top candidates are posted first, followed by the second and top candidates.
The crowd at the scene was densely packed, but silent.
"Liu Jie! Your Majesty, it's Liu Jie!" Xu Jingzong was even more excited than Liu Jie himself.
As the actual person in charge of Guanshishan Academy, Xu Jingzong knows everyone who participated in the Mingfu Department this year.
Just now, he was a little worried that Liu Jie would fail the exam. After all, there were crouching tigers, hidden dragons in Chang'an City, and there were many people who had learned well.
Now, as soon as Tanhua Lang came out, he immediately felt stable!
On the other hand, Wang Sheng looked pale and his hands were trembling.
Wang Jie's expression wasn't much better, especially when he heard that Tanhua was actually from Guanshishan Academy, he felt something was wrong.
Fortunately, the person who posted the list did not keep everyone waiting for too long, and the results of the second place came out.
"Chen Xing! Haha, Your Majesty, it's Chen Xing. He's just one short of the top pick."
It was rare for Xu Jingzong to lose his composure in front of Li Kuan, but at this moment, no one cared so much.
"Brother Liu, the honor or disgrace of the academy depends on you!"
