I traveled to a very nice farm, and I was so happy to fight evil with evil

Lu Shao also became famous in the capital.

In addition to the top scorer, there were also Jiang Yilin and others who showed off their talents.

The palace examination will be held soon, and a new round of betting will begin.

This time, the odds of Lu Shao winning the top prize were much lower. If he bought one tael of silver, he could only earn one and a half taels.

But Qiao Ye, Jiang Yilin and Wei Fenghua, in the previous gambling house, each bet 500,000 taels of silver, betting that Lu Shao would become the top scorer.

What we are saying to the outside world is that regardless of whether it succeeds or not, support must be in place.

Lin Hao and others naturally followed suit and bought it.

Anyway, I won so much money before, so I’ll make a profit by taking out tens of thousands of taels to buy it.

They don’t feel bad even if they make a loss on the purchase.

If you win the bet, even though the odds are low, you can still make a lot of money if you bet more.

Xiao Jingchen even secretly took one million taels and used them to buy Lu Shaozhong's top prize, just like last time.

Many people who didn't know Lu Shao were also inspired and thought highly of him, so they bought shares.

It might be because Qiao Ye and his friends had won so much money in this casino before.

Plus this time I followed Qiao Ye and the others.

So basically everyone came to this casino to bet on Lu Shaozhong to be the top pick.

Although the odds are not that high, there are too many people betting, so if there is a real payout, the total amount will be considerable.

Several other big gambling houses were envious of this gambling house's good business.

On the one hand, they tried to hold back from watching the show or gloating over other people's misfortune. If Lu Shao became the top scorer, this casino would have to pay compensation.

As long as they join forces to suppress it, this casino, one of the three largest casinos in Beijing, will have to change hands in the future.

Fortunately, they were not noticed by Qiao Ye and others, thank God.

casino.

The three leaders asked people to count the money they had pledged to Lu Shao, and the total amount turned out to be several million taels.

Then they have to pay a lot.

The third leader couldn't help but throw the account book sent by the steward to the ground. "This is too much, this is too much!"

They really treat them as sheep and keep fleecing them.

If this wasn't intentional, he would never believe it.

He was so angry.

If we have to pay out so much money again, how can the gambling house continue to operate?

But the bet has already been made, so it is impossible to take it back.

They could only curse Lu Shao for failing in the palace examination.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the palace examination.

Although Lu Shao had never participated in it in his previous life, he was able to remain calm.

When I got the test questions, I found out that he had guessed them correctly.

It is indeed related to border issues and governance.

This was a test question set by the emperor, based on a great victory on the border.

He had already thought about how to answer the question.

Some suggestions from the young wife can also be written in, just like what they had discussed before.

He picked up the pen and began to write like a god.

After a while, a bright yellow figure stood beside him and watched for a long time.

Lu Shao did not panic and continued writing at his own pace.

A smile appeared on the emperor's face, and after reading part of the article written by Lu Shao, his eyes lit up.

Then I just stood there and watched.

Everyone else noticed that the emperor had been standing next to Lu Shao and watching, and the candidates present were all envious.

But they must be very nervous to have the emperor standing next to them and watching them for such a long time.

So this honor has both advantages and disadvantages.

Song Shaoyang looked up at Lu Shao, took a deep breath and continued writing.

No matter what, he will fight Lu Shao with all his strength.

The palace examination is over.

The chief examiner and deputy examiners began marking the papers and selecting the ten papers they thought were the best.

Then it was sent to the emperor to determine the ranking.

Among them are those of Lu Shao and Song Shaoyang.

The emperor first read through them one by one, and then decided on the top three without hesitation.

After the ministers received the booklet, they found that Lu Shao was chosen by the emperor as the top scholar.

Some ministers could not help but stand up and persuade him that if Lu Shao won the top prize again, it would be too much of a honor.

His wife and brother have been too high-profile recently.

If Lu Shao became the top scholar, he might encourage those unhealthy tendencies.

In addition to the rebels, there are also many people from other princes' families.

Naturally, they didn't want to see Lu Shao become the top scorer.

People from the prince's faction were more supportive of Lu Shao becoming the top scholar.

It is also said that this is the first time that a person has won the fifth place in the imperial examination since the founding of the country.

We had already won a great victory at the border, and now we have won the fifth place in the imperial examination, which is even more joyous.

Neutral factions such as King Yi also supported the emperor's decision.

The emperor said nothing and let the ministers look at Lu Shao's paper themselves.

Let them talk after they finish watching it.

After everyone finished reading Lu Shao's paper, they were all speechless.

The Minister of Revenue even took the initiative to step forward and said that Lu Shao deserved the title of top scholar.

He also wanted to send Lu Shao to the Ministry of Revenue.

Then many people secretly cursed this old fox.

In addition to the very innovative and useful management methods, the paper written by Lu Shao also proposed several ways to make money.

If this is successfully implemented, it will not only suppress the enemy country, but also fill the national treasury.

Plus, Qiao Ye is a well-known golden child.

If Lu Shao went to the Ministry of Revenue, he could often ask Jinwawa for help and advice.

The Minister of Works was not to be outdone, and immediately stepped forward to express his desire for Lu Shao to join the Ministry of Works.

Lu Shao has strong hands-on skills, and he and his wife even made farm tools, making him very suitable for the Ministry of Industry.

Of course, the main reason is to want the golden doll.

Then the Minister of War also expressed his desire for Lu Shao.

Who wouldn't want a capable subordinate who also comes with a golden doll? So grab it.

The Minister of Justice and the Minister of Personnel had previously not supported Lu Shao to be the top scholar, so they did not accept Lu Shao.

Besides, it’s useless even if you get the golden doll for these two films.

Then the ministers of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War started arguing over Lu Shao.

This was also the daily routine of these ministers, and they often quarreled in the Golden Palace.

Everyone has gotten used to it, some help, some watch.

This made the emperor laugh and cry.

He had already thought of arrangements for Lu Shao.

But he was quite happy about several people competing for Lu Shao, which showed that he had good vision.

However, because of this answer sheet, no one can say anything against it.

Lu Shao deserves the title of top scholar.

The next step is for the first place in the second class to be announced.

When the candidates heard that Lu Shao was the top scorer, Song Shaoyang was the second place, and another son of a noble family was the third place.

Everyone felt surprised, yet also felt it was reasonable.

As expected, Lu Shao took the top spot in the imperial examination again, becoming the first person in this dynasty to get top five.

No matter how envious and jealous everyone was, they all congratulated Lu Shao.

Song Shaoyang was depressed as he was suppressed by Lu Shao again.

It was not like he wanted to congratulate like others, he just couldn't bring himself to do that.

When the person bringing the good news arrived home and said that Lu Shao had won the top spot in the imperial examination, Qiao Ye and the Lu family were very happy and excited.

Then we set off to the teahouse where we had reserved a seat in advance to watch the three men from Yijia parade on horseback.

Jiang Yilin and Wei Fenghua were also very excited, and they exchanged several carts of copper coins to take with them to scatter.

This time they acted as a boy who gave away money, and the people in the capital city liked them very much.

In the private room with the best view, Qiao Ye wore a festive red dress today, which made her fair skin and beautiful appearance stand out even more.

Then there was a commotion below, "Here he comes, the number one scholar is here!"

Then, Lu Shao was seen riding on the horse with an upright posture and a face as handsome as jade.

There was a smile on his handsome face, and he looked as fresh as a spring breeze.

"The number one scholar is so handsome!"

"From this perspective, the second-place winner, Wushuang Young Master Song Shaoyang, was also outdone by him."

"That's right. I used to think Song Shaoyang was the most handsome, but after seeing Lu Shao, I think Lu Shao is more handsome."

"This number one scholar looks like a banished immortal who has come down to earth."

"It's a pity that the champion has already married a tigress, otherwise there are countless women who would like to be his wife or concubine."

"If his wife wasn't Qiao Ye, I don't know how many powerful families would want to marry him today."

"No wonder Qiao Ye would bring people to smash the top scholar whenever he coveted him. Who wouldn't like such a handsome and talented young top scholar?"

Many people were joking and laughing.

Many young ladies from aristocratic families who also came to watch the parade of Yijia also had sparkling eyes when they saw Lu Shao from the window.

Some even blushed.

They also want to marry such a handsome top scholar.

If Lu Shao hadn't married that tigress Qiao Ye, he would now have the support of Wei Fenghua, Qiao Yu and others.

Otherwise, they all wanted their families to use their connections to force Lu Shao to divorce his wife and marry them.

Or let Qiao Ye be a concubine and they be wives.

People of lower status wanted to be Lu Shao's concubines.

But he also knew that it wouldn't work. After all, Lu Shao was notoriously afraid of his wife and had promised not to take a concubine.

The key point is that anyone who dares to covet Lu Shao may be beaten up by Qiao Ye and his men.

Their small bodies couldn't withstand her throwing and hitting.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel pity for Lu Shao. How could such a handsome and extraordinary top scholar marry such a tigress?

If it were them, they would definitely be kind, gentle and considerate to him.

All I can do is give up with regret.

I really envy Qiao Ye, a country girl, for having such a good fortune to marry such a handsome and talented top scholar.

The flowers, purses, etc. in their hands were thrown at Lu Shao as if they were free.
