On the first day of April in the 22nd year of Shaoxing in the Song Dynasty, the much-anticipated Spring Examination is about to be announced. This is naturally a major event that affects people's hearts. Not only the candidates who participated in the examination and their families are concerned about it, but also the whole court and even the people of the Song Dynasty.

Everyone is paying attention to this matter.

Starting from early in the morning, all the candidates who participated in the exam began to gather at the Gongyuan Square where the results were released. For them, this was the most important day in their lives. The candidates dressed up and took out the most decent clothes and accessories to wear.

Go up, trim your bun and beard, make yourself clean and presentable, and set off for Gongyuan Square.

When the sun rose, the entire Gongyuan Square was already crowded and overcrowded. The imperial court took restrictive measures. In order to ensure order in Gongyuan Square, checkpoints were set up at several entrances. Only candidates who participated in the big examination could enter.

No accompanying persons were allowed to enter the Gongyuan Square to avoid overcrowding. But even so, with more than 18,000 people gathered in the Gongyuan Square, it still seemed overcrowded.

Fang Zian got up early. After washing, Chunni carefully put on a well-ironed blue gown for Fang Zian and hung a jade pendant around her waist. She was dressed handsomely and elegantly. Soon after, Zhao Changlin and Qian Kang also dressed up.

They arrived neatly at Fang's house. The three of them had agreed to go look at the list together.

The three of them had not yet gotten in the car to start, but they found that two more carriages were coming to Fang's house from east to west. Indeed, Qin Xiqing and Shi Ningyue came by chance to accompany them to see the list. The unexpected meeting made Qin Xiqing and Shi Ningyue

There was a slight embarrassment, but it soon disappeared. Chunni, Qin Xiqing and Shi Ningyue actually knew each other's existence and their relationship with Fang Zian. They were also familiar with each other, so they quickly

The relationship became warm. Qian Kang and Zhao Changlin saw this situation and secretly admired and admired them: I don't know what method Fang Zian used, but these three beauties were so polite to each other when they met in such a friendly manner. It was really eye-opening.

A group of four carriages headed to Gongyuan Square in a mighty manner. When they arrived at the south entrance, the three women could not get in. Fang Zian asked them to go home and wait for news, but the three women refused to leave.

"This is a big event for Zian. Naturally, we have to accompany him here to wait. This is a big deal." Qin Xiqing said.

"Yes, you go and see the list, we are waiting for the good news here." Chuni said.

"No matter what the result is, we must know it as soon as possible. If you win, we will laugh with you together, and if you don't win, we will comfort you together," Shi Ningyue said.

The three women expressed their feelings, and Fang Zian had no choice but to let them go. He himself was very uneasy at the moment. Although he usually said that he was generous and seemed to be full of confidence and indifferent to the imperial examination, at this moment, Fang Zian felt...

But he is full of expectations. In fact, he longs for success in his heart. And these days, the biggest success, the most respected success is the imperial examination high school. He also knows that in fact, the people around him who care about him have great expectations for him.

expectations, and this was actually an important reason why he felt uneasy. Fang Zian didn't want to disappoint them.

What's strange is that there are more than 18,000 people in the square. It can be said that there is a huge crowd, but it is not too noisy. There is a tense atmosphere in the entire Gongyuan Square. And as time goes by

As time went on, the atmosphere became very depressing, making people feel a little bit...

Suffocating. Everyone, even those who don't care, understand that today is the moment that determines destiny, and nothing is more important than this moment in life. Therefore, everyone feels great pressure, and they are both expecting and

I was so nervous that I was not in the mood to talk, and I was preoccupied with waiting for the moment when the results would be released.

At three o'clock in the morning, the gong sounded. Everyone in the square stood up and looked towards the gate of Gongyuan. They saw a large number of officers and soldiers rushing out of the gate, quickly clearing the area within thirty steps in front of Gongyuan, forming a

Several warning circles were made. The candidates knew that the time for the announcement of the results had arrived, and they rushed towards the entrance of the Gongyuan. Suddenly there was a lot of noise and chaos.

Fang Zian and Qian Kang protected Zhao Changlin and followed the crowd to squeeze through and stood in front of the huge sign on the right side of the gate. Soon after, the three examiners for this spring exam walked out of the Gongyuan gate surrounded by a large number of officials and soldiers.

Come out. One of the officials with a goatee went up to the stone platform in front of the Gongyuan and lectured loudly.

"Gentlemen, under the entrustment of the emperor and the imperial court, today I and the other two chief examiners are here to announce the admission list for the undergraduate spring examination. The basic situation of the undergraduate spring examination is hereby announced for review. First, the spring examination

There are three examiners, namely Mr. Tang Si Tuitang, a colleague of the Privy Council, Mr. Shi Haoshi, a doctor of the Imperial Academy, and the counselor of the Zhengshi Hall, the official's surname is Wanqi, and his name is Wanqixi. There are three of us.

Entrusted by the imperial court and trusted by the emperor, I assume the important position of examiner for this major examination. Secondly, this spring, there are a total of 18,327 candidates from all walks of life, all over the 16th Road and 36th Prefecture of Song Dynasty.

.This is a grand event with the largest number of people in the history of the Song Dynasty imperial examination. This time, there are 329 Jinshi subjects. As of yesterday, all 329 Jinshi subjects have been filled. According to the Ministry of Rites

After review, the emperor approved the survey, and now it is announced to the world today."

Everyone was silent, swallowing nervously. Although they had known that the number of admissions was limited and there were too many people, but after hearing Wan Qixi tell the fact that only 300 people were admitted out of 18,000 people, everyone still

I feel very shocked. Except for a very small number of people, most people have no confidence in whether they can be on the gold list.

Wan Qixi continued to speak loudly: "Everyone, after ten years of hard work, no one asked me about it, and I became famous all over the world in one fell swoop. All the students studied hard in the cold, today is the time to reap the rewards. Of course, there are only a few who can reach high school. I hope all students

Treat the results with the mentality of being happy to win and happy to lose. If you are not on the list, there is no need to regret, no need to blame yourself, no need to be disappointed. Because those who read the books of sages can be sensible and enlightened, and the books will always be useful when they are read into your stomach.

Moreover, even if you have passed the bachelor's degree, there is still another subject to take. If you come back with renewed strength, you will not be able to make a big splash next year. The door to the imperial examination is always open to you. Those who are famous on the list should not be complacent. You are just at the beginning of your official career.

The heavy burden of the imperial court needs to be shouldered by you, and the resurgence of the Song Dynasty requires your efforts. Don’t live up to the emperor’s grace, and don’t live up to the expectations of the people. Stay humble, serve the court well, and be loyal to the emperor. Finally, the Ministry of Rites has since become a Jinshi

From the day the admission list is announced, inquiries will be accepted. If anyone feels doubtful about the results, they can go to the Ministry of Rites for filing and checking according to the procedures."

All the students stared blankly at Wan Qixi, knowing in their hearts that what they said after this was just polite. What if you are happy when you win, you are happy when you lose, bullshit! Who would have such a mentality?

Reading is just for understanding the truth? Then what are you reading for? The purpose of reading is to become an official in the imperial examination and honor the ancestors. It is for the golden house with thousands of bells, millet, and jade in the book. Is it just to cultivate one's sentiments and clarify one's will and reason? As for what examination papers are worthy of

The doubts are even greater. I have never heard of anyone being re-listed after passing the examination.

"Two adults, let's get started." Wan Qixi retreated to Shi Hao and Tang Si.

Shi Hao and Tang Situi nodded, then took the lists and went to three notice boards to post them. Because there were still palace examinations to follow, there was actually no order in the admission list, only the names and birthplaces of the candidates and other information. It was a huge list.

After the list was posted on three bulletin boards, all the candidates rushed to search for their names on the list. After a brief silence, someone let out a shout of surprise.

"I won! Hahaha. I won! Thank God, thank God!" Someone was the first to find his name and was ecstatically surprised. The hearts of everyone around him felt like they were being hammered. They were envious and at the same time even more anxious.

"I won, I won. Wuwuwuwu. Dad, mom, baby, I have lived up to your expectations. I finally won." Someone found his name and cried loudly.

Surprised laughter and crying came one after another. People kept finding their names and making loud noises after checking that their place of origin information was correct. There was a mess in front of three notice boards, which became the scene of a large-scale mental illness outbreak. More people were looking for it.

Without even saying his name, his neck stretched out like a giraffe, oil and sweat oozed from his face, and his eyeballs almost fell off. There is nothing more real in the world than this.

"Brother Zian, here's your name." Fang Zian was squinting to find his name when he heard Qian Kang's cry of surprise. Fang Zian hurriedly followed his finger and saw his name.

"Fang Zian, from Sanyuanfang, Lin'an, is twenty-two years old. His parents are deceased, he has no brothers or sisters, and he is not yet married." In order to prevent people with the same name, the information on the list is quite detailed and will never be confused. Fang

Seeing this, Zian felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart, and a big stone fell to the ground. Hit! Finally lived up to his expectations!

"Chang Lin, you also won. Hahaha. That's great." Qian Kang found Zhao Changlin's name again.

Zhao Changlin hurriedly squeezed over and checked carefully, then he breathed a long sigh of relief and shed tears.

"Congratulations. Brother Chang Lin, you really won." Fang Zian said with a smile.

Zhao Changlin wiped away tears and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Brother Zian. Brother Zian, I'm not surprised at all, because you are bound to win. It's really a surprise that I can win."

Qian Kang smiled and said: "Congratulations to Brother Zian and Chang Lin."

Fang Zian said hurriedly: "Where's Brother Qian? Didn't you find his name?"

Qian Kang smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid I can't find it. I know my own business."

After hearing this, Fang Zian and Zhao Changlin hurriedly went to three notice boards to search carefully, but they did not see Qian Kang's name listed. Qian Kang's name was missing from Sunshan, which made Fang Zian and Zhao Changlin feel depressed.

"You two, it doesn't have to be like this. I have already prepared for this. I am afraid that I, Qian Kang, will not survive. If the three of us can win two, it is already a great joy. Let's go, we can't celebrate properly today.
Chapter completed!
