Chapter 164: Sudden Storm
The next morning, all the candidates got up early.
He cheered up, invited a few friends, and ran to the gate of the Imperial College.
Why?
Because today is a big day, a big day of great significance to all candidates.
The imperial court announced the news three days ago, and the gold medal list was announced today.
This means that someone wants to be named on the gold list.
Some people can only lose their reputation and have no hope of official career!
Sometimes, a single word difference on this gold list often makes a world of difference.
If you pass the exam, no matter how bad your performance is, you will be a Jinshi after a few days of waiting and passing the imperial examination!
The worst thing is that he was born with the same Jinshi!
If you are lucky, you can stay in Qiandu and become an official in the capital.
If a child from a poor family can achieve this step, he has truly achieved a class leap.
If you don't pass the exam, you will only be awarded the title of "Jiu Ren".
Even if he talks nicely, he can still become an official.
But in recent years, if you don't have a family background, even if you are a Jinshi, you have to wait a long time before being assigned an official position, let alone someone who can achieve success in one fell swoop?
Therefore, the more realistic situation is that most of the candidates are just businessmen and are respectfully called Yuanwai.
As for official career, the future is bleak.
The National Examination, as the last hurdle in the imperial examination, really has the saying that one examination determines one's life.
In this way, how can these candidates not be excited and uneasy.
Just like that, all the candidates from Qiandu gathered in the Imperial College.
Waiting for the gold list to be posted!
But the candidates are by no means the only ones waiting here.
There are also housekeepers and servants from the families of small officials or the families of big merchants.
What are you waiting for here?
Naturally, it depends on which talented person is not only talented, but also famous in the gold medal list, and also majestic and extraordinary in appearance.
He took her home and married her daughter-in-law.
It can be considered a good thing. This custom has been around since ancient times. It is commonly known as catching a son-in-law under the banner.
It sounds ridiculous, but in fact, those housekeepers have extremely vicious eyes.
Naturally, they will not arrest those children from aristocratic families, but will focus on the children from poor families who are full of talents and ambitions.
In this way, children from poor families can go further in their official career if they have someone to rely on.
Most likely they won’t refuse!
In this way, everyone is either happy or looking forward to waiting for the gold list to be posted.
However, there are also a few who don't fit in with the crowd.
For example... Zhao Lingyun.
Logically speaking, after the incident in the restaurant last time, Zhao Lingyun lost all face and should be a little depressed.
But this is not the case, and there are still many people who praise him around him.
And each of these people is more indignant than the last.
"Brother Lingyun, I've already inquired about it."
"It's true that those people who were in the restaurant were taken to the Jinluan Hall to face the saints, but it's not necessarily a good thing."
"It is said that ten of them committed fraud collectively and were caught."
"This is a major scandal in this trial. The Holy Emperor doesn't want to make it public. That's why the Jinwu Guards didn't arrest anyone directly that day."
"But for this crime, I guess I can't get away with it!"
The man spoke so eloquently that he actually attracted everyone around him.
Seeing that it was Zhao Lingyun, he quickly bowed his hands and called him brother Lingyun.
When Zhao Lingyun saw this, her expression was indifferent, but deep in her eyes, a hint of joy flashed.
It seems that even in Qiandu, he is still somewhat famous.
At the same time, thinking of the scene in the restaurant that day, I felt a little angry.
Because, he also heard similar rumors.
Those ten people were not from Jinbang High School, but were caught cheating.
After hearing this, he was really angry!
He, Zhao Lingyun, is a well-known figure in Zhubei County!
How could I let those ten scoundrels play tricks like this? They really ruined my reputation for the rest of my life!
In the future, when I will be in the top high school and be high above the temple.
I'm afraid someone will take this to make a fuss and ridicule him.
A stain! It is truly a stain on the whole life!
However, the most urgent task is to find out whether the news is true.
If it's not true, wouldn't it be another big mistake?
In the end, it was his own reputation that suffered the most damage.
If it is true, humph, who is he, Zhao Lingyun, how could he suffer such a big loss for no reason?
Naturally, we have to find those ten people, get our place back, and get our reputation back.
"Brother Sun, is the news you said true?" Zhao Lingyun said to the person at the beginning and Yan Rui.
The so-called Brother Sun is actually fellow villager with Zhao Lingyun, both from Zhubei County.
Unfortunately, his qualifications are mediocre.
It is already a great honor to be admitted to the National Juren Examination. This time I came to take the examination with the idea that a blind cat meets a dead mouse, to try my luck and make friends with those talented people who will definitely pass the high school.
And Zhao Lingyun is its main target!
After all, Zhao Lingyun is not only talented, but also famous in Zhubei County.
If I can win his favor, my grandson will benefit a lot from any advice he can give me in the future.
It's a pity that falling flowers have feelings but flowing water has no intention.
Over the past few days, he has served Zhao Lingyun diligently and conscientiously for many days.
However, Zhao Lingyun still could not catch his eye.
Not to mention winning his favor.
Seeing that the plan was about to be ruined, an accident happened.
Back in the restaurant, ten bastards showed up and offended Zhao Lingyun like this.
If these ten people really have real talent and learning, that's all. If they can afford to offend them, he, Sun, can even find someone else to flatter him.
After all, flattering someone is the behavior of a villain.
If you flatter ten people at the same time, you will make a lot of friends, just like the ancient sages!
But it happened that these ten people were all scoundrels. They were taken away by the Jinwu Guards only after the fraud was discovered, and they actually pretended to be talented.
It really made Zhao Lingyun angry.
And today, I came to the gate of the Imperial College, in front of the golden list.
He just deliberately said something to undermine the ten scoundrels in order to attract Zhao Lingyun's attention.
He didn't have much hope. After all, there were many people clinging to Zhao Lingyun's side and doing the flattering thing, and he was not lacking.
It is probably difficult for others to notice me.
But who would have thought that Zhao Lingyun would take these words into her heart!
It was the first time that I took the initiative to look for him, and addressed him as brother Sun, and my tone was so gentle.
It's no longer as usual as before, shouting and dictating.
How can this be done?
Lao Sun really couldn't bear Zhao Lingyun's sugar-coated bullets.
He was still caring about things there, so he immediately patted his chest and said in an extremely sincere tone:
"How can it be false?"
"Brother Lingyun, to be honest, these words were spoken by my uncle who is an official in the palace!"
"As the saying goes, if I can't kiss my nephew again, can my uncle lie to me?"
"May I ask if your uncle...does he hold any position in the palace?"
"Uh... Well, back then, our family was in decline and had no way to survive. My uncle had no choice but to enter the palace and become a eunuch."
Chapter completed!
