Chapter 23 Parting ways

On the day when the results were released, Liu Sheng came early and made an appointment with Zijun to look at the results together. This kind of thing was out of bounds for Zhang Zijun, because he didn't participate in the examination, so he didn't feel the same way. Instead, it was for Liu Sheng and the others.

If there is a field, let's use the field, and everyone will carry the sedan chair. In the world of people like the Ming Dynasty, you must know how to live according to the customs, otherwise you will become a loner.

The examination results have been released a long time ago. The results this time are Li Bingyi, Li Jun, Yang Shoucheng, Liu Sheng, Li Sheng, Cao Heng and others, as well as the two brothers Yao Bi and Yao Xi.

This time is the final palace examination list, there should not be much change. Generally speaking, there will be no demotion in the palace examination, only rankings. The top three, such as number one, second place, third overall, etc., are listed as the first class, which is regarded as the Jinshi and the second class.

It can be considered that he was born as a Jinshi, and there are several people in the third class, so he was born with the same Jinshi.

So everyone made an appointment to have a dinner and celebrate at the "Huiyuan Building" after the rankings were released. But when the rankings came out, they were shocked. There was still a big gap between this ranking and the Hui Trial. Fortunately, everyone was on the rankings.

In the middle, there is a near miss but not a false alarm.

The final results are: Jinshi and the third person, Ke Qian, the number one scholar, Liu Sheng, the second person, Tanhua Wang??, Li Bingyi, the fourteenth place in the second place, Yang Shoucheng, the fifth place, Li Jun, the nineteenth place, Cao Heng

The first place in the top three, Li Sheng ranked 47th in the top three, and Yao Bi ranked 98th in the top three.

During this exam, Li Sheng was quite upset. He held Zhang Zijun's hand and kept complaining that he didn't listen to Zi Junxian's original question preparation. Looking back now, every word Zi Junxian said was full of good advice.

Then it was time to wait for the appointment of the civil servants. Everyone cherished this gathering, because in the days that followed, they would go their separate ways. Some people would never meet each other. If they were lucky, they would stay in the capital and serve as officials.

People will be released as officials, so it is said that the ancients attached great importance to every gathering, despising family ties and focusing on separation. Because there were no airplanes, no high-speed rails, and no highways in the Ming Dynasty. They were hundreds of miles apart, and the road was difficult and out of reach.

After a month of nervous waiting, the documents from the Ministry of Personnel will be issued to everyone, and then everyone will report to the Ministry of Personnel and receive the official certificate.

Ke Qian, the top scholar in Jinke, was awarded the title of Shao Zhanshi and served as a bachelor's degree student at the Hanlin Academy.

Yao Bi served as a doctor in the Ministry of Military Affairs and was later demoted to Siming Tongzhi of Guangxi.

Yao Xi was a supervisor of the imperial family, and was later awarded the title of Zhongshu Sheren.

Yang Shoucheng was appointed as a scholar and given the post of editor.

Liu Sheng, who was second in the list, was awarded the Imperial Academy Scholarship.

Cao Heng was awarded the title of Doctor of the Literary and Anthology Department of the Nanjing Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Li Sheng was appointed as the judge of Wuwei Prefecture.

Li Bingyi was assigned to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and three years later he was assigned to the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Li Jun taught Nanjing Engineering to Shizhong.

On this day, at Li Sheng's request, Liu Sheng, Cao Heng, Yao Xi, and Li Bingyi came to Zhang Zijun's house to say goodbye. This was also the first time Zhang Zijun received friends at home since he came to Beijing. In more than a month,

Later, Zhang Zijun came up with many tricks at home. He built a small waterwheel next to the well in the second courtyard, and poured the water from the well into the wooden wooden door next to it.

In the sink, Zhang Erbao can shake the handle of the water wheel to lift the water in the sink, and finally pour it into a row of long wooden troughs. The water flows along the long wooden sinks to the kitchen and the latrine.

.

It’s good to have a long-term worker at home, so I thought about it when I had free time. I also made a few chairs, benches and other things using leftover materials. Modeling on the leisure places before time travel, I set up a step of about ten square meters in the middle of the yard, where I could drink tea and read.

, a good place for barbecue and camping. The floor is paved with long wooden boards, waterproofed with tung oil, and flowers and plants are planted around it. Four deck chairs are placed, and it feels a little better. In Zhang Zijun’s words, Erbao was surprised that he missed his hometown.

, can this make me miss my hometown? There is no such place in Zhangjiayao Village.

The five people who came took turns taking turns to sit on the lounge chairs. Yao Xi said: "It's good, but I can't stand the sun." Just as he said that, he saw Zhang Erbao and Zhang Zijun setting up a big tent.

, two simple small bamboo sticks, with two pre-prepared small round holes on the ground, and the ropes were used to fix the tent. Zhang Zijun said while tying the ropes: "If there is a rainproof cloth, there is no need to put it away every time

Yes, it’s a pity it’s not available, so I can only buy it now.”

Yao Xi said: "To use that, it is better to just build a shed." The rainproof cloth in the Ming Dynasty was very heavy. It was made of thick linen soaked in tung oil and dried, just like the cover of an umbrella, made of fine

The bamboo is made of bones, and this kind of oilcloth is added on top. The rainproof performance is still very good, but it is heavy. But what everyone doesn't know is that the rainproof cloth Zhang Zijun talks about is waterproof coated nylon cloth.

On this side, Du Maodan was making charcoal in a long groove made of bricks. After finally lighting the charcoal, he put the meat skewers sent by Chef Du on the groove and grilled them. This is Zhang Zijun's special

To prepare, I bought some mutton, marinated it with seasonings, and skewered it on bamboo skewers, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty could eat northwest-style charcoal-grilled mutton skewers.

It's not that mutton kebabs didn't exist in the Ming Dynasty, but this way of eating them wasn't popular, because these were all eaten by the Tatars and Waqi people. Of course, they weren't made so delicately. They all used knives and long forks to eat a large piece of meat.

Roasting, so I despise it and disdain it. However, Zhang Zijun’s method is based on the era before time travel. He uses various available spices and adds a little fine salt to give it a unique flavor. When roasted, the oil will drip.

At this time, the fragrance was everywhere, which made these people cry with greed. They gathered around and waited impatiently.

It seems that no matter what dynasty it is, food is always the most tempting. Cao Heng held a mutton skewer in one hand and chewed his mouth full: "This small piece of meat is more delicious than roasted lamb." What is roasted lamb? It turns out that

At this time, barbecue in the Ming Dynasty was whole lamb, that is, roasting the whole lamb. If it was a piece of meat, it was roasted in one piece. It was rare to see it specially marinated and skewered. While everyone was rowing the mutton skewers.

, Du Mao Dan also served roasted leeks and roasted eggplant.

Liu Shengdao: "I didn't expect that this flat dish tastes more delicious." Leeks were called "flat dishes" in the Ming Dynasty. Li Bingyi laughed and said: "I didn't expect that Brother Zijun would really enjoy it. When I get back, let the cook at home do the same."

alley."

When she was full, Chef Du brought a large pot of brewed Dian black tea. Zhang Zijun brought it from another time and space. This bag of tea cost more than ten yuan per bag, but it has a different meaning to Zhang Zijun now.

Different from the tea of ​​the Ming Dynasty, the color is more rosy, the taste is bitter, and then sweet, and the aroma of the tea is incomparable. Yao Xi comes from a wealthy family and has never drank any tea, but after drinking Zijun's cup of black tea, he said that the aroma is extremely strong and the taste is mouth-watering.

Sheng Jin. He insisted on asking for it, but the sweat on Zhang Zijun's head started to drop. He could only make up a story and said: "Everyone, listen to me, this tea has a good background. This tea is produced in Yunnan and Guizhou.

, when my father was still alive, I passed by a tea merchant and bought it from that tea merchant. It has been two years now, and this pot of tea is also the last one. In order to get together today, I don’t dare to hide my secrets. Good things must be shared with friends.

Sharing is the best thing.”

Since Hongwu, people have gradually changed from burning tea to brewing tea. In the past, many seasonings were added to the tea, such as salt, sugar, and various spices. By the Jingtai period, this kind of tea had withdrawn from daily life.

There is a method of ordering tea left over from the Song Dynasty, "ordering tea". Use a small spoon to divide the tea powder into several bowls, pour in boiling water, stir, let the tea powder and boiling water fully mix, and then drink it. This kind of tea ordering method

After France was introduced to a small island in the east, it was called Matcha.

Good tea leaves are kneaded into powder, which is not a real method of brewing tea. Then as tea drinking has become popular among all walks of life, not only the scholar's tea drinking style has become popular, but also among the people, so it is changed to

The whole leaves are used to make tea. In the Ming Dynasty, under the influence of the policy of focusing on imperial examinations, the literary style flourished. Scholars who advocated elegance often drank tea to cheer up when they were chanting the wind and moonlight. This custom had already been formed.

After Zhang Zijun told this story, even he believed it, and added: "The reason why drinking this tea is soothing is mainly because the meat eaten before is greasy, and then drinking this tea can relieve the greasiness, and you will feel the fragrance in your mouth."

"

In ancient times, when scholars got together and chatted, they would often recite a poem. But today no one is interested. The reason is that they are about to part ways. From now on, I have to be a good official because I am young and passionate. Isn't it just for ten years of hard work?

Cultivate one's morality, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. Facing an unknown future, they all go their separate ways. In the days after we get together like this, I don't know when the atmosphere will become sad in the end.

Li Sheng will leave to govern for either party, and Cao Heng will go to Nanjing. In any case, after Liu Sheng's repeated encouragement, these passionate young people left happily. When they were leaving, Li Sheng took Zhang Zijun's hand and said:
Chapter completed!
