The time for releasing the list is set on April 15th, when the apricot flowers are in bloom, so it can also be called the apricot list.
Everyone craned their necks to wait, fearing that they would miss something. After all, everyone was very concerned about the imperial examination list and wanted to know whether someone they knew well or their relatives would be on the list.
"Coming! Coming!"
The people at the back saw a dozen officers and soldiers. The leader was dressed in official uniform and was carrying a tray with three red official documents on it.
These three red official documents are today's list. Candidates who have passed the exam will take the palace exam three days later.
Chaoli and Gu Hanzhang's carriages were parked on East Street, and Song Lingxin's carriage was next to theirs.
Since the two of them came together, Song Lingxin didn't want to disturb the couple, so she could only wait in the carriage, but she was a little impatient.
At this moment, I heard someone outside saying something. There was no doubt that it was someone from the Ministry of Rites who came to release the results.
The originally noisy surroundings became very quiet, and everyone was attentive, focusing on the officials of the Ministry of Rites, craning their necks to watch people posting lists.
In the early decades, the results of the examination were announced at the official office of the Ministry of Rites. However, later, some people who were high school tribute scholars were stimulated and died in front of the official office of the Ministry of Rites. There were also situations where people were crowded to death.
Later, it was moved to outside the Gongyuan and the market, and the onlookers were separated, so that it was less likely to cause trouble.
The list has been posted, and those who won the tributes were overjoyed, and some even cried with joy.
The last list has the most people surrounding it because Huiyuan also appears on the last list.
Candidates who pass the general examination can be called Gongshi. The current ranking does not represent the ranking of the final palace examination, but it can also give the candidates a sense of confidence.
The first notice showed the 41st to 60th place, and the second chapter showed the 20th to 40th place.
Therefore, the last one will show this year's Hui Yuan and the top nineteen people in this year's test.
"Look, who is Huiyuan?"
"Go further away and stop squeezing me. Come on, I want to see it too."
"Oh, whoever stepped on my foot, move away quickly, it hurts me to death!"
There was a lot of noise all around, and everyone was very concerned about Huiyuan. After all, Huiyuan stood at the front during the palace examination, and the emperor could see him at a glance.
Moreover, before the imperial examination, the emperor would also have a few words with Huiyuan alone.
Song Lingxin felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She did not go down to see it in person, but asked Ziyuan to go over. But if Huiyuan's name appeared, someone would definitely call it out.
It's just that people around him shouted a lot, but they didn't hear Lu Xiuyuan's name.
Chaoli was sitting on the carriage, but she didn't get off the carriage to take a look. There were too many people around, and it was hard for women to squeeze in, let alone a married woman like her.
"Are you worried?" Gu Hanzhang's voice sounded faintly, "What's there to worry about?"
Hearing this, Chao Li smiled slightly.
"Tsk, tsk, I thought the prince only had sandalwood on him, but I didn't expect that there was also the smell of vinegar. Oh, there is such a strong smell of vinegar in the carriage. It seems that the prince likes it. When I go back at noon, I will definitely ask Zhaocai to add something to the prince, such as vinegar.
How about some cold dishes?" Chaoli looked a little teasing.
Gu Hanzhang didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and even directly took action, grabbing Chaoli's wrist and pulling him over.
Chaoli was accidentally dragged forward and fell straight into Gu Hanzhang's arms.
Fortunately, Gu Hanzhang was also measured enough not to let Chaoli's nose hit his chest. He could avoid letting her rest on his shoulder and put his arms around Chaoli's waist.
The two people's breaths were intertwined, Chaoli's hands were pressed against Gu Hanzhang's chest, and their breaths were extremely hot.
"Jealousy depends on the situation. I don't like raw jealousy." Gu Hanzhang leaned close to Chaoli's ear, "I like your jealousy very much."
Chao Li gritted his teeth, this man is really saying such things regardless of where he is now.
"Your Majesty, please let me go. This is on the street, not in a carriage." Chaoli said in a low voice.
Just now, she threw herself into Gu Hanzhang's arms. There must have been movement in the carriage. It would be really embarrassing for people to see it. Fortunately, the carriage she was riding in today did not show her identity as the Zhenbei Houfu, otherwise she wouldn't know where she would have thrown it!
Gu Hanzhang's heart felt hot, and he suddenly bit Chaoli's earlobe lightly.
"Madam is teasing me on purpose, why don't you allow me to fight back?"
At this moment, Gu Hanzhang's voice contained a suction force, as if it was about to suck out half of Chaoli's soul, which shocked her heart.
The itching in his ears could not be ignored, and Chao Li curled his neck.
"Your Majesty!"
Hearing Chaoli's angry voice, Gu Hanzhang knew he couldn't continue teasing her, otherwise the girl would be really angry later.
"Okay, okay, I'll let go."
After Gu Hanzhang finished speaking, he loosened his hand around Chaoli's waist, slowly put it back to his side, and gave it a gentle twist.
Well, his wife's waist is really thin and soft.
Chaoli glared at Gu Hanzhang, secretly raised a carriage curtain, and looked out through the gap, which also made his face less hot.
Perhaps it was because Gu Hanzhang had teased him a lot in the past, but now she was no longer so shy that she didn't even dare to look at him, at least she dared to glare at him.
There was already a lot of excitement outside, and at this time, Chaoli finally heard Huiyuan's name.
"This year's member is named Lu Xiuyuan. Who is this person? Why haven't I heard his name before?"
"I haven't heard of it either. I thought it would be Lord Shen's legitimate son Shen Ye. Who would have thought that he is an unknown person, probably from a poor family."
"Shh, keep your voice down. I didn't see Mr. Shen's face looking ugly. He is inferior to others today. He is in second place. The person who suppresses him will probably lose his pants."
During the imperial examinations in the capital, there would be gambling houses that organized betting, and Shen Ye was considered famous among this batch of candidates in the capital.
Many wealthy ladies from aristocratic families have a favorable impression of Shen Ye and are waiting for him to shine in the imperial examination.
But I never thought that he would not become this year's Huiyuan.
As we all know, if you fail to become Huiyuan, your chances of becoming the top scholar in the palace examination will be much smaller, because the emperor will personally review Huiyuan's examination papers.
As for other people, they just selectively take a look at it without being too detailed.
Chaoli couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "Brother Lu really won, it's Huiyuan!"
At this moment, Chaoli was really happy for Lu Xiuyuan.
Unexpectedly, he not only escaped Li's plot, successfully participated in the examination, but now also became Huiyuan.
In three days, there will be a palace examination. After passing the palace examination, he will be able to serve as an official in the court. From now on, the women in the back house will no longer be able to plot against him, and he will definitely have a worry-free life.
Gu Hanzhang glanced at Chaoli coolly, and then asked.
"But I want to say congratulations to him in person?"
