Konoha Hypocrite Uchiha Tonan

Tang Ning felt that it was not impossible to consider betting on herself to win the provincial examination.

Gu Bai and Cui Lang and Shen Jian only answered about [-]% of the questions in the first game, which was not necessarily all correct. In the second game, there was no suspense. There were countless number one scholars in the past, but none of them could compare with Wen Tingyun in poetry. Li Qingzhao is on par.

In the last policy discussion, he may not be able to compare with the three of them in his articles, but with Li Tianlan’s careful teaching and the experience summed up by countless predecessors in history, when it comes to "policy", he has not been afraid of anyone, even if he has not let The examiner is amazed and will not lose too many points.

After comprehensive consideration, Tang Ning felt that it was still worth a gamble.

The only problem was that he had no money.

Most of his money was used to buy a house, and the remaining part will soon be invested in repairs and decorations. Songzhuzhai's "Peony Pavilion" has not yet been completed, and he has not received the last payment yet. There is no extra money.

Zhong Yi and Su Ru accompanied their mother-in-law to the temple to offer incense, saying they were praying to the Bodhisattva to bless him with good grades in the imperial examination. The Tang Fairy was practicing swordsmanship in the yard, and the old beggar was leaning against the corner, holding Xiao Jue's filial wine and drunkenly dreaming of his life. , a jar of fine wine, and a chicken drumstick, his perfect beggar was born.

Tang Yaojing practiced very hard, and Tang Ning found that these days, her moves seemed to be more powerful than before. Especially after arriving in the capital, she became more diligent, and this improvement became more and more obvious.

While Fairy Tang was resting, Tang Ning poured her a cup of tea and said, "Yaoyao, how much silver do you have left on you?"

Tang Yaoyao glanced at him and asked, "Why do you ask this?"

Tang Ning handed over the tea and said, "If there is more left, please lend me some."

Tang Yaoyao took a sip of tea and asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"

"Not much, ten thousand..., maybe 5000 taels." After thinking about it, Tang Ning thought it would be better to borrow less. After all, if he borrowed too much and had to pay back, he would have to pay himself to Fairy Tang to pay back.

"You just bought a house, what else do you need money for?" Tang Yaoyao looked at him and asked, "Why do you need so much money?"

Fairy Tang has changed. She used to readily take out 1 taels of silver and slap it on the table without asking him what it was used for.

But he is not afraid of shadows. He borrowed money to make money, not to raise vixens outside, so there is no need to feel guilty.

He looked at Tang Yaoyao and explained: "Many casinos outside have made bets on who will be the leader of this provincial examination. I want to bet on myself."

Tang Yaoyao looked at him and asked after a long time: "How sure are you?"

If it were a palace examination that only tested policy theory, Tang Ning wouldn't be very sure. However, this was just a provincial examination, so there was no way she could score between [-]% and [-]%.

He looked at Tang Yaoyao and said, "It's about [-]% conservative."

"Bet."

Fairy Tang always liked excitement, and a [-]% certainty was enough for her to complete a huge gamble. He looked at Tang Ning and said, "I'll go back to the room to get the banknote. You wait for me here."

Tang Ning stood in the courtyard. She didn't wait for Tang Yaoyao, but she waited for Ling Yun first.

Tangning looked at him and said in surprise: "What is Commander Ling doing here? I don't have any manuscript for you."

Ling Yun moved his body a step to the side, revealing King Run behind him.

King Run looked at him and said seriously: "I'm here to thank you for saving my mother-in-law."

If Tang Ning remembered correctly, King Run had already used this reason to thank him at least three times.

"Father often teaches us that we should repay kindness. You saved my mother and concubine as a great kindness, so I have to thank you several times."

If King Run hadn't licked his lips while talking, Tangning would have almost believed him.

"I'll go back to the palace later." He walked to Tang Ning and asked, "What will your family eat today?"

The mother-in-law took Xiao Yi and Xiaoru out. The third uncle and the third aunt went to see the new house. Today, he and Tang Yaojing were the only two people at home. Tang Ning hadn't decided what to eat yet.

Seeing Fairy Tang walking out of the room, he asked, "What do you want to eat today?"

Tang Yaoyao thought for a while and said, "Assorted pots, I haven't eaten them for a long time."

Tang Ning saw King Run's face light up in an instant. He turned to look at Tang Ning and said, "Can you do a little more today..."

It wasn't time to eat yet, and he and Tang Yaoji had to go out for something. He thought that King Run would go back after thanking him, but he didn't expect that his thank you was fake, and that he was paying for the meal was real.

Tang Ning looked at Ling Yun and said, "We have to go out for something. There are not many dishes in the kitchen. Buy whatever you want to eat. Remember to wash the dishes before I come back."

Ling Yun opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, King Run tugged on his sleeve and said, "Let's go buy groceries quickly..."

Neither Tang Ning nor Tang Yaojing were very familiar with the capital, but fortunately there was shopkeeper Xu, who knew the locations of almost all the gambling houses in the capital.

Yesterday, Xiao Jue and Gu Bai shamelessly bet 1000 taels of silver each. The money may seem like a lot, but in the eyes of the casino, it is still trivial and will not have any impact on the overall odds.

However, for the sake of safety, he and Tang Yaoyao did not put all their eggs in one basket, but dispersed them to multiple casinos. In this way, each amount of funds was not too large and should not attract others' attention. Notice.

This was a huge gamble. Tang Yaojing invested all her wealth in it. If she won, she would make a lot of money. If she lost, she would have to rely on Tang Ning to support her for a long time.

When they returned, Ling Yun and King Run had already washed all the dishes.

Assorted pot is a very delicious dish. When no one else is around, Fairy Tang will eat at least two bowls of rice. However, she dances with guns and sticks all day long and does not gain weight. On the contrary, Su Mei can both eat and sleep. But she is thin where she should be thin and fat where she should be fat, which is different from people like Tang Yaojing who are thin where they should be and thin where they should be fat.

"It's delicious..." King Run said vaguely as he cooked the rice, "It's even more delicious than what the imperial chef cooks."

The most important thing about assorted pots is the ingredients. One more or less will have a different taste. This is something he and Zhong Yi developed after many experiments, so the taste is naturally different.

Looking at Prince Run, Tang Ning remembered Fang Xiaopang in the past. She originally thought that after the imperial examination, she would be able to return to Lingzhou to see how she had lost weight. Who knew that the plan had changed and he would stay in the capital for a long time. Unexpectedly, Knowing when I will see her again...

Gongyuan of the Capital.

After the provincial examination is over, the gate of Gongyuan will be closed and all the examiners will be locked inside. It will not be opened again until the final day when the results are announced.

The grading officially started one day ago. The first test paper will be reviewed first. Unlike the state exam, the grading time for the provincial exam is relatively relaxed. The examiner has enough time. When grading the exam, it will be fair and impartial. Omissions are the first priority, don’t worry.

In the spacious hall, there was only the occasional sound of turning pages and the occasional exchanges between adjacent examiners.

"There are no mistakes in the legal questions in this test paper. It is very rare. They should be directed towards the Ministry of Punishment."

"I have excellent performance in the arithmetic subject in my job. It is suitable for me to practice in the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry for a few years."

"I got [-]% of the answers on this test paper. I only made one mistake. I should be one of those people."

……

The errand of grading is boring and boring, especially this first session. All the answers are written on paper. If you don't speak out from time to time, it will be difficult to relieve the depression in your heart.

At a certain moment, an examiner slowly stood up from his seat. After turning over the test paper in his hand and reading it several times, the expression on his face was as if he had seen a ghost in the daytime.

He walked out of his seat and murmured: "Everyone, take a look at this test paper."

Someone took it and circulated it to each other, and the discussion in the hall couldn't stop.

"Hiss..., this time the provincial examination has a monster."

"This is simply unheard of. I didn't expect that there are such talents among this year's candidates?"

"It's not like it hasn't happened before. Mr. Xu is young. He probably didn't come to Beijing 13 years ago. It's normal that he hasn't heard of it..."

When the test paper that everyone was talking about was passed to Fang Hong, he looked at the unfamiliar handwriting on the test paper, but it was a familiar scene. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Sure enough..."
