Chapter 78: Passed the Examination

When the sweet-scented osmanthus blooms in September, it's time to release the results. The list of the provincial examination is also called the "Gui Bang". If you are admitted, you will be a candidate, also known as the B list or the B subject. If you get the first place, you will be admitted.

It is "Jie Yuan". If you go one step further, if you are a Jinshi in the national examination, it is called "Jia Bang". It is collectively referred to as "from the two lists", which is a very high honor.

However, the highest honor of the imperial examination system does not end there. If you get the first place in the examination, you will be the "Hui Yuan". If you get the first place in the palace examination, you will be the legendary "No. 1 Scholar".

Jieyuan, Huiyuan, and Zhuangyuan, these three things added together, are the highest honor of the imperial examination system for thousands of years. "Three Yuan in a row" is the supreme honor of the entire feudal society. From the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, for thousands of years, many people have won the title of "Jie Yuan".

There are only a dozen people who receive this honor. These people are no longer normal people. They are geniuses among geniuses and the lucky ones among the lucky ones.

Not only do you have to be good at writing, but you also have to be good at face to face, especially the last level of the palace examination, which is appointed by the emperor in the palace. You don’t have to think about being ugly. Pan Yu once said this to Xu Xian in a letter.

Ambition, but also said "it cannot be forced".

Naturally, Xu Xian did not dare to match Pan Yu's ambitions. He only hoped that he would be successful in the imperial examination, so that he would not have to follow her to live a soft life when he arrived in the capital. This wish was relatively easy to achieve.

On the Double Ninth Festival, the chrysanthemums were in full bloom in the Baicao Garden, and the fragrance was pleasant. Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen were watching the chrysanthemums hand in hand. On the stone table was the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Yu Xuanji had just made and asked Golden Eagle to send.

Horse hooves galloped outside the hospital, and then there was a sound of knocking on the door. Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen looked at each other and smiled, and sure enough they had won. When announcing the good news, he opened the door and wanted to congratulate him. When he saw Bai Suzhen, he was stunned at first. When Xu Xian asked, he hurriedly lowered his head and replied:

"Mr. Xu has graduated from high school and ranked 72nd." He posted the prepared notice on the door. Xu Xian saw it and said, "I am pleased to report that your master Xu Hanwen has passed the Jiangsu provincial undergraduate examination and ranked 42nd in high school."

.The person who brings good news will pay Lianyuan."

Xu Xianxun thought, seventy-two was quite low, but it was just enough as Emperor Wenchang said. He relied on his own strength and did not plagiarize or cheat. He was gratified to achieve such a result.

The messenger lowered his head and was about to leave, not even opening his mouth to ask for the most important "happy money". But Bai Suzhen stopped him, put a few taels of broken silver in his hand, and then rode off, riding a long way away.

, touching the wedding money in his arms, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Why do you look like the empress in the temple?"

Since Bai Suzhen practiced the "Dragon Cultivation Method", her temperament has become more holy and distant. Although it is not the dragon power of the dragon tribe, after evolution, it naturally has a sense of oppression of higher animals on lower animals. The principle of dragon power is also

in this way.

Xu Xian was selected as the candidate, and many people came to congratulate him that day. Xu Xian simply held a banquet. He made many invitations and invited many acquaintances from Suzhou to enjoy the flowers and drink in the Herb Garden, and also held a farewell banquet.

When the invitation was sent to the magistrate's office, Magistrate Chen was dumbfounded. He clearly remembered that he should have put Xu Xian's file on the list of candidates, but he was so confused that he still let him be the candidate. But he was shocked in his heart. Not only did he not get it,

King Liang's intention made Xu Xian the winner. How to explain this summary? Looking at the invitation in his hand, he felt more and more annoying and waved it under the table.

At this time, Mrs. Chen came out of the back hall, stepped forward to pick up the invitation, and said puzzledly: "Sir, Xu Xian won the election, you should be happy, why?" Magistrate Chen couldn't hide it and told the truth.

Mrs. Chen heard this and said angrily: "Xu Xian has a life-saving grace for us, but you actually want to help King Liang assassinate him. Isn't this repaying kindness with hatred?" A layer of frost suddenly appeared on her pretty face.

Magistrate Chen advised: "Madam, don't be angry. Didn't he win the imperial examination? What I'm worried about now is how King Liang should explain it."

Mrs. Chen sighed: "That's all, that's all. Since you have disobeyed King Liang's will, do you still want to sit down as an official? Sir, you should resign!"

"Resign! No, I have worked hard for half my life to get such a position as a prefect. I will send a letter to Prince Liang. There may not be any other way out." Chen Lun was in charge of the government and held real power. Suzhou was rich again.

In this land, he was very successful as a prefect. Even if he didn't have to be greedy, his annual harvest was quite large. Since he didn't have a direct conflict with King Liang, he was just lucky.

Mrs. Chen tried hard to persuade her, but he just refused and was helpless.

Xu Xian held a banquet in the Baicao Garden. When everyone came to congratulate him, they were all surprised by his figure, but they were relieved when they thought about his age. But his increasingly calm and easy-going demeanor also made everyone's hearts beat. The most amazing thing among them was

, none other than Jin Shengjie, who watched Xu Xian change little by little with his own eyes, step by step. The once ordinary young man had transformed into this when he was sleeping in flowers and willows. But it was Pan Yu who admired him even more

With her vision, it’s no wonder that she became friends with Xu Xian as soon as she came to the academy, and even put aside other social contacts. Could it be that she saw through the changes?

Xu Xian thanked everyone for their care in Suzhou, and first resigned from the position of head of the Three Emperors Patriarch Association to all the Suzhou officials, handing it over to Zheng Taisheng, and asked them to continue taking turns. He had already established his authority, so naturally he would accept everything.

Wu Renjie asked: "Shopkeeper, what should I do with Baicaotang?" Although he followed Xu Xian in compiling books, the members who joined the Three Emperors Patriarch were all shopkeepers of major pharmacies in Suzhou.

Xu Xian smiled and said: "Uncle, I was about to say that I will ask you to take care of Baicaotang from now on." This was also his initial plan. Wu Renjie has superb medical skills and is a rare good person. He was about to give a gift

Give him a big gift. Moreover, Baicao Garden has too many memories of him and Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing. He doesn't want to just sell it and needs someone close to help take care of it.

Everyone was in an uproar, envious of Wu Renjie's good luck. Baicaotang's reputation had already spread, and it was already the number one drugstore in Suzhou. Such a store was worth more than a thousand pieces of gold. Wu Renjie quickly refused, and Xu Xian smiled and said: "This

It’s not just for you, it’s also a dowry for my sister Yulian, and it’s a tribute from me as a brother.”

Wu Renjie had no choice but to accept it and just said he would look after Xu Xian. Even though he was frightened, his face lit up with joy.

At this time, Liao Qiu came up while enjoying the wine, grabbed Xu Xian's sleeve and said, "Where is the thing you promised me?" He was still thinking about the novel.

Xu Xian handed him a copy of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that he had prepared. Because there were some changes in the history of the Three Kingdoms and he did not have enough writing skills to pick it up, he simply deleted it. Anyway, he felt that the subsequent plots were relatively boring. That's it.

He handed it to Liao Qiu. But he smiled and said: "I will be allowed a share, but not a penny less." He also pointed to this to support his family!

Liao Qiu muttered: "You are so generous to others." But he went to the side first and started to look at it. After a while, he became obsessed with it and no longer cared about the banquet. After the banquet was over, he immediately got on the sedan chair and watched as he walked.

Xu Xian said goodbye to everyone, and Bai Suzhen came out and said, "Hanwen, it would be bad if I didn't come out!" So many guests came, but Xu Xian asked her not to come out.

Xu Xian took advantage of the wine and touched her cheek and said: "If you come out, we will have to sit upright and smile solemnly. We may even burn incense and pray to you!" The place where he touched it felt as smooth as grease and slightly cool.

Jade.

Bai Suzhen avoided his hand, "Where is it?"

Xu Xian smiled and said: "Now I can't wait to bring incense to you and ask the White Lady to bless me and help me get the Queen back home as soon as possible." After attending the "Lu Ming Banquet" tomorrow, we can return to Hangzhou.

In the evening, there was a violent knock on the door. Xu Xian hurriedly opened the door. Liao Qiu, with red eyes and panting, grabbed Xu Xian's shoulders and said, "Down there, where is it down there?" He was looking at the rise, but found that it was gone.

As if he had been stabbed in the head, he immediately came to Baicao Garden to ask for more information.

Xu Xian shrugged and said, "I'm a eunuch."

Liao Qiu said anxiously: "I'm a eunuch. What do you mean?"

Xu Xian looked away and said, "There is nothing down there."

Liao Qiu's face suddenly turned pale as if he was struck by lightning. He staggered back and said, "Can you say it again?"

Xu Xian's eyes turned around, he spread his hands and said, "He is the eunuch."

Liao Qiu rushed up and grabbed Xu Xian's collar, "Xu Xian, I'll fight with you." She completely ignored the fact that Xu Xian was a head taller than him. Bai Suzhen heard the sound and persuaded Liao Qiu before Liao Qiu calmed down.

Xu Xian gave him an idea and said, "You can make up for the rest by yourself!" Liao Qiu's eyes lit up, and she pointed at Xu Xian and said, "Okay, okay, Xu Hanwen, I'm sorry for you." He hurried back to make up the books.

Bai Suzhen advised Xu Xiandao: "Hanwen, that eunuch, is not very good!"

Xu Xian's heart was moved, and he took out the jade medal of merit around his neck and saw that he had lost thousands of merits. Merits are the blessings of all people, and the loss of merits is the resentment of all people. He couldn't help but sigh, eunuchs, they really hurt the character! Okay!

Later, Liao Qiu forgot about food and sleep, and added the later ones, turning it into a "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" so as not to cause the continuous loss of virtue.

Xu Xian stretched out his hand to pinch her cheeks and said with a smile: "Don't worry, madam, there are some things that I absolutely cannot do as eunuchs." Her beautiful cheeks were slightly deformed in his hands, and they looked even more lovely in addition to being holy. This was what he was currently doing.

My biggest hobby.

Bai Suzhen opened his hand angrily and patted his head, wanting to know what was going on inside.

The Lu Ming Banquet is a custom of the imperial examination. Every time after the provincial examination, the next day after the results are released. All the candidates are invited to cook sheep and slaughter cattle to celebrate. The song before the banquet is "The Book of Songs. Xiaoya".

In the article "Deer Ming", there is a sentence in it: "Yo yo deer, eating apples in the wild." It means that when a deer discovers delicious food, it does not forget to share it with its companions, which is a virtue.

The candidates took this opportunity to form cliques, hoping to take care of them in the future. Xu Xian was quite hostile before the exam, but now he became the focus of everyone. One by one, they came together and wanted to have a relationship with him.

.Because it is said that there is a high chance that Xu Xian’s teacher will host tomorrow’s Spring Festival.

Although Xu Xian was not as skillful as Pan Yu, he still tried his best to deal with it, at least he would not form unnecessary grudges. But looking at the look in the eyes of Magistrate Chen who hosted the Luming Meeting, he knew that some grudges were still forged. But this time

If you go thousands of miles away, everything here will no longer matter.
