407.第一名竟然是你?

“我不要！”佑芸大声的拒绝。
可杨平哪里听她的，直接命人将她又强行绑回了屋子里。
佑芸只能一边挣扎一边大喊：“四牛肯定能考得第一的，肯定能考第一！”
杨平只觉自家女儿对四牛是盲目的自信，嗤之以鼻，并没放在心里。
This year he has been busy making the state prosperous, and he has no spare time to pay attention to the exam. When he found out that the results were released today, he sent someone to inquire about the ranking, but the person has not returned yet.
```htmlHowever, in his heart, he had already decided that Liu Ziheng, who always topped the group exam every year, must be the first again.
So he sat at home at ease, waiting for the people from the Liu family to come and propose to his daughter.```
After waiting for a while, he finally saw the person he sent to inquire about the ranking and Liusiheng return together.
He hurriedly went forward to greet them, but found that Liusiheng came back empty-handed and did not bring his parents. He frowned.
难道这柳子恒考上第一，看不上她家女儿了？
开口正想要问，却见他后面还跟着四牛等一群大石村的人。
杨平的眉头皱得更紧了，也不管他派去的人有话要跟他说，而是盯着柳子恒，问道：“子恒，你这是？”
柳子恒连忙弯腰行礼：“杨伯父，我是过来跟你说我和佑芸之间的亲事的。”
杨平见柳子恒没有忘记他和佑芸的亲事，这才眉开眼笑的道：“好好好，我和佑芸一直在府里等着你呢！我就知道你肯定能考上第一，风风光光的把我家佑芸娶进门，不像有的人，明明没有那个能力，还要自讨没趣！”
他说着，故意看向跟在柳子恒后面的四牛，想要让他知难而退。
“四牛，看到了没有，这才是配得上佑芸的侯爵公子，有权势又有才干，前途不可限量，如今就是来给我家佑芸提亲的，所以我劝你不要再来纠缠我家佑芸，现在赶紧滚！”
"Um... Uncle Yang," Liu Ziheng said sheepishly, bowing his head in shame. "It's my fault for not doing well enough to get into the top school in the city. I'm not qualified to marry Youyun."
What?
Yang Ping was suddenly stunned: "You didn't pass the first place in the provincial capital? Then who is the first?"
After a pause, he added, "It doesn't matter. Our two families have a good relationship, even if you didn't pass the first place in the provincial capital, getting second or third place is still okay!"
柳子恒把头更低了：“我、我也没考到第二第三……”
杨平的眉头皱了起来：“今年州城的人才竟然有那么多？你连第一第二都没考上？怎么可能？”
他吐了口气，道：“也罢，只要你能考上前10，我都把佑芸嫁给你！”
他抬眼扫了一下四牛，意有所指的道：“总比有的人连名号都排不上要好！”
柳子恒顿感无地自容，他讪讪的开口：“杨伯父，这一次州城的人才实在太多，我、我才考了31名……”
What?杨平顿时目瞪口呆。
"You are the top scholar in the city, but you only ranked 31st in the exam?"
Liu Ziheng lowered his head and said apologetically, "There's always someone better, someone from another place. I didn't expect that compared to the top scorer in this week's exam, the difference is so big..."
“With these grades, I really can't face Yun with the proposal anymore. So I came here to explain our wedding situation to you personally. If Yun doesn't want to marry me, I won't force her. If she chooses to marry Si Niu, I will accept it willingly!”
"Wait, wait!" Yang Ping quickly stopped him. "You accept her marrying Si Niu? Are you willing to let her go and marry a country bumpkin? Ziheng, what are you thinking? How can this rural nobody compare to you?"
Liuziheng's face was embarrassed and ashamed: "Uncle Yang, you probably don't know yet, but this time's weekly exam, this Four Cows from Dashicun got first place."
"What?" Yang Ping's body shook, staring at Liuziheng and Four Cows incredulously: "You said him? Four Cows? Got first place in the exam? Are you kidding me?"
He looked towards the servant he had sent to check the rankings.
The servant nodded and confirmed, "Reporting to my lord, the top scorer for this week's exam is indeed Four Bulls from Shun County's Dashicun Village."
Confirmed, Yang Ping's eyes widened even more as he stared fixedly at Si Niu, his face full of disbelief: "You? You're the first place winner?"
Si Niu finally spoke, calmly nodding his head: "That's right. I hope the governor will keep his promise and give me and Youyun another year. Once I've passed the palace exam and received an official title from the emperor, I will marry her."
Yang Ping opened and closed his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he just let out a long sigh: "I never thought that such talents would emerge from your village!"
"Ahem," his servant coughed beside him and whispered, "Master, the top 30 scorers in this week's exam are all from the Big Stone Village."
What?
杨平彻底石化。
大石村的人在州城狠狠的风光了一把。
有的人知道大石村人所住的客栈，天天都来拜访。
而这些大石村的学子排名被公之于众后，便也不再藏着掖着，再等候去皇城大考的三个月时间里，他们并没有立即返回家乡，而是留下来，一同助力知府大人把州城的经济一同往上提升。
The prefect originally had a lot of dissatisfaction with the marriage between Siniu and Youyun.
However, upon seeing that everyone in Dashicun was talented, especially the brothers of the Tian family, and with the addition of Tianbao, the lucky charm, the prefect ultimately compromised and temporarily postponed the forced marriage of Youyun.
就再给一年时间，看看那田家的四牛，是否能进入殿试再说吧！毕竟现在还有用得着这些学子们的地方呢！
小六看出知府大人的心思，心中不忿，对甜宝道：“姐，这个制服大人分明就是在利用我们，咱们干嘛要给他冲政绩？帮他把州城的经济提升，他到时候升官发财，肯定不会记得我们的好！”
Sweetie gave him a glance and said calmly, "He's after his political achievements, and we're expanding our business routes. It's a win-win situation. Who knows, maybe we're also using him to expand our commercial territory?"
With the help of Xiao Liu's words, he finally cleared his mind and heart, and wholeheartedly worked to help the prosperity of the state city.
By the time the exam to enter the imperial city approached, the economy of the state city had made a huge breakthrough thanks to the assistance and cooperation of all students in their village.
Previously, in the whole of Da Yuan Kingdom, their economic strength in Jingzhou ranked at the bottom and never received the attention of the court. This sudden leap has brought the attention of the entire kingdom to Jingzhou.
Meanwhile, before entering the imperial city, the students from Dashizhuang Village had already gained a reputation throughout the entire city.
However, with great fame comes great danger, as various forces within the imperial city became interested in their accomplishments and tried to recruit them.
Here they are, as soon as they arrived at the city gate, many court officials were already waiting outside the gate.
