In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing reign, February 24th, this was the day when the Ministry of Rites released the results.

Although the major fraud case in the provincial examination had a wide-reaching impact, involving many candidates who participated in the examination, it is not known how the court will deal with it in the end, but the list was still announced as scheduled.

More than 4,000 candidates are eagerly looking forward to the moment when the goddess of fate will favor them, and waiting to leap over the dragon gate again.

As long as they are on this list, regardless of their results in the next palace examination, they can at least get a place as a top three Jinshi and become a seventh-rank official in the Ming Dynasty.

Unlike those who need to wait for candidates to be elected, Jinshi officials can usually fill the vacancy directly. For example, a first-grade Jinshi will be directly arranged to enter the Hanlin Academy and obtain a substantial official position.

What is the reason for the ten years of poverty? Naturally, it is to be named on the gold list.

On this day, as soon as it gets dark, many people get up and wash up, and make final preparations early in the guild hall or inn. Officials who are looking forward to announcing the good news come to their door with the good news.

Chaozhou Guild Hall, the morning light falls on the white walls and black tiles.

Since today is the day when the results are released, the place is also very lively. Everyone got up early in the morning, and after having breakfast in the lobby, they gathered together to play chess, drink, play horse riding, etc.

The door of the guild hall faces due east, and the sun has already set on the threshold, making the lobby inside the house look very open and bright.

Shopkeeper Chen walked out with a sullen face and cast a shadow in the lobby. He looked at the clerk who was working and emphasized: "Today is a happy day. Everyone, please be diligent and smart!"

"Shopkeeper, don't worry about this, I am the smartest monkey!" A clerk as thin as a monkey put down the rag, patted his chest and boasted proudly.

Today, Shopkeeper Chen seemed to have taken gunpowder, pointing at him and angrily yelling: "You are the worst at what you do. Please wipe this table clean for me. If there is any dust on it, I will peel off your skin."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw three people walking into the lobby. Shopkeeper Chen greeted them with a smile on his face and said, "Your breakfast is here. Do you want the kitchen to heat it up for you?"

"Why are you being so particular? You don't know how miserable we were in the cell of Zhenfusi!" The speaker was Yang Futian, who picked up a bun and put it in his mouth and took a big bite.

He used to be a foodie, but after being in prison, he is no longer picky about food and will relish everything he eats.

"We've been back for two days, can you please stop talking about the Zhenfu Division? It makes me sick to my stomach now!" Ning Jiang, who was dressed like a young man, sat down and a look of displeasure flashed across his face.

Yang Futian took the half of the bun and raised his chin and shouted: "Why can't I mention it? If I don't mention it, will you know how valuable food is? If I don't mention it, have you forgotten that we are friends in need?"

Ning Jiang originally wanted to ridicule his words and didn't want to get too involved with this guy, but he took it back when the words came to his lips. This time could indeed be regarded as a friendship in need.

Although several days had passed, he was now a little scared thinking about what he had experienced that day. He was originally looking forward to joining the court as an official, but now he was a little frightened, worried that one day he would die in an officialdom without knowing how.

Lin Haoran is a person who can afford to take things and let go. The experience in Zhenfusi had no negative impact on him. Now he only hopes for one result, that is, he can win the tribute today.

Although he had seen the dark side of the Ming Dynasty officialdom, he did not change his original intention and still hoped to become an official of the Ming Dynasty.

Click!

He picked up an egg, cracked the shell gently on the edge of the table, and then began to peel the shell from the gap. Soon, the fresh and tender egg white was revealed, which was dazzling.

He put the eggs into the white porridge and added a chopstick of pickles. The pickles were crispy, the eggs were fragrant, and the white porridge was crystal clear. Although it was a very simple food, he ate it with relish.

Suddenly he found that Shopkeeper Chen was still standing aside, so he said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Chen, go and do your business, don't worry about the three of us."

"I..." Shopkeeper Chen stood still, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

"Is something wrong?" Lin Haoran stopped his chopsticks and immediately raised his head in confusion and asked.

Yang Futian and Ning Jiang also raised their heads and asked shopkeeper Chen doubtfully.

Shopkeeper Chen hesitated for a moment, then pointed in the direction of the alley entrance and said: "I just came back from the Jiangxi Guild Hall, and they set up a stage in front of the door. The aisle left was too narrow, and I was afraid that the official officials who announced the good news would not be able to ride over.

"

"Okay, let's go over and take a look!"

Lin Haoran nodded and planned to go over and talk.

There were several people drinking in the lobby. After learning that the Jiangxi Guild Hall was so domineering, they ran inside and yelled at a group of people, and together they walked toward the Jiangxi Guild Hall at the entrance of the alley.

Nowadays, Jiangxi scholars are undoubtedly the most confident. Not only have the imperial examination results over the years been the best, but the Jiangxi Township Party has also reached its peak of glory under the leadership of Yan Song.

Not to mention that Yan Song has been the first assistant for more than ten years now, and he has already dominated the government and the public. Even the second assistant Xu Jie is from Jiangxi, and Wu Shan, the Minister of Rites, who has a good chance of joining the cabinet, is also from Jiangxi.

Just like this, the officialdom is now dominated by Jiangxi people, and these Jiangxi scholars seem to feel that they are superior to others, so naturally they will not take a prefecture-level guild hall in Guangdong seriously.

"Masters, this is what you promised!" The shopkeeper of the Jiangxi Guild Hall came after hearing the news. He was very confused when he saw this large group of Chaozhou people coming to ask for justice.

"Bullshit, which one of us promised it? The stage you built leaves only such a small aisle, it is completely impossible to pass!" Ning Jiang pointed at the stage being built and immediately shouted angrily.

The shopkeeper didn't seem to be faking it. He turned around and looked around, then suddenly pointed to the door and said, "It's Mr. Dai from Guangdong. He said he can help your club make the decision, so I can build it here!"

Everyone looked around, only to see Dai Beichen nodding and hunched over a well-dressed young man, looking like a pug. He was obviously taller than that young man, but he kept looking up to him. Seriously.

Kudos to him.

"Gaga...why is it him again?"

"I didn't even settle the matter with him last time about the carriage, but now I'm doing this again!"

"He is such a bastard! If he were not related to Dai Dailang, I would really want to beat him up!"

…

Everyone looked at Dai Beichen's face and wanted to step forward to give him some advice and teach this self-righteous Dai son a lesson, especially for being so "eating him inside and out".

Dai Beichen, after being reminded by the young master, seemed to have noticed this side, but he no longer acted like a dog-legger. He came over with an air of dignity and accused: "Why do you look like a woman with a small belly? Why don't you just occupy some space?"

?I have told the shopkeeper that I will leave a three-foot aisle for you!"

"My lord, Yan Donghai, everyone has come over. I'll give you another three feet!" Yan Donghai looked very magnanimous, then raised his chin and said, "This matter is related to a wish of my teacher. I am here today."

After the high school reunion, we will perform a big show here, please forgive me!"
