Everyone who knew him or not came over to say hello, and they seemed to be very familiar with Zhu Hao.
People from the Huguang Chamber of Commerce sent gifts one after another. After all, Huguang in the Ming Dynasty was a place where "the mountains are high and the emperor is far away". Most of the merchants doing business in the capital had a local feeling of gathering together. They were very interested in Zhu Hao who passed the examination and passed the Huiyuan exam.
"The Talented Man" cared very much and gave him generous gifts.
The official who announced the good news hung a big red silk flower on Zhu Hao and pretended to be surprised: "How can we say that Wen Quxing has descended to earth? Look at this talented person. He is really young and promising. He will definitely be the prime minister in the future."
"Hang the wedding silk for Mr. Zhu..."
Red satin was quickly hung outside the inn, and someone came to set off firecrackers. However, the capital was obviously taboo on gunpowder products. On such a non-festival day, no one prepared firecrackers even if they came to announce the good news.
Jiang Lun was very dissatisfied: "On this special day, why not set off a few firecrackers to suppress the evil spirits?"
The officer who announced the good news smiled and said: "This master is right, but as long as Duke Huiyuan is here, all evil spirits will be suppressed. Looking at his age... he is still a boy who can ward off all evils."
"Hahaha……"
Everyone around is laughing.
Zhu Si got angry for a while after hearing that he asked you to announce the good news. Why did he even say something joking? Why didn't he say that Wenquxing came to earth? But he made fun of him for being a boy?
Perhaps as a child and the same age as Zhu Hao, Zhu Si was a bit taboo about being called "boy".
But when the people next to him heard this, they all thought it made sense. It was not easy for a boy who was still a young man to pass the exam. Here, he actually took the exam and became a Huiyuan. He said that a boy "suppresses demons and wards off evil spirits". It's really so
With a hint of meaning in mind, I came over to ask Zhu Hao for something personal and hang it on my door. It might be more spiritual than painting Zhong Kui.
"Pah, pah, pah..."
As we were talking here, the sound of firecrackers really started going off outside.
It was not arranged by Zhu Hao, nor by Prince Xing's Mansion or the official who announced the good news, but by people from the Huguang Guild Hall who made urgent arrangements.
Zhu Hao didn't have to pay for the reward money after that. People from the Huguang Chamber of Commerce were eager to stuff the money, fearing that Zhu Hao wouldn't accept it. They carried boxes of money inside one box after another. When they opened it, although it wasn't silver, it was still boxes of copper coins.
, spread it to the people watching the excitement around, many of whom were businessmen traveling between the capital and Anlu, and they were considered fellow countrymen who came to enjoy the celebration.
The innkeeper found a large piece of red paper, wrote the word "Huiyuan" on it, and hung it in front of his door to show the extraordinaryness of his inn.
It would be even more glorious if the number one scholar comes out, but the number one scholar is rare but not sought. Besides, everyone knows that the emperor is not in the capital now, so the palace examination will probably not be held on time. If you can get a top scholar in an inn, there will be no one who comes to the capital to take the exam in the future.
Especially candidates from all over the country who are taking the national college entrance examination, they will probably flock to his inn to get lucky.
…
…
Zhu Hao is the protagonist.
But in this celebration, he was reduced to a supporting role. Jiang Lun looked extremely excited and rushed ahead of everything. Sometimes Tang Yin tried to join in the fun but was blocked back.
When Lu Song finished handling the wedding arrangements for Zhang Cong and came over after hearing the news, he saw the crowd gathered outside the inn. He couldn't believe that there were so many people in Beijing from Huguang.
"Mr. Zhu, congratulations to the senior high school..."
Lu Song saw Zhu Hao standing aside and hurried over to congratulate him.
Zhu Hao smiled and nodded.
Lu Song looked back at Jiang Lun who was making jokes with people from the Chamber of Commerce, and then saw Zhu Si standing there with his eyes wide open, very curious.
Didn't it mean that Zhu Hao won the Hui Yuan?
Why does the excitement here seem to have nothing to do with it?
Tang Yin came out and said: "Okay, okay, I appreciate your kindness, please go back first."
Tang Yin was afraid that Jiang Lun would complicate the situation. Zhu Hao passed the Huiyuan exam, so he should try to avoid letting people know about his relationship with Prince Xing's Mansion. Jiang Lun seemed to have made up his mind to publicize it well. After all, he felt that Zhonghui
The scenery of the Yuan Dynasty greatly enhanced the palace of Prince Xing, but it never considered the overall strategy.
"Congratulations to Mr. Yuan of Xiaohui. I wish you success in the Imperial Examinations and the title of No. 1 Scholar... I heard that you are still in the Huguang Township Examination to understand the Yuan Dynasty. That is to say, you have passed the third Yuan Dynasty. There has been no one like you in the Ming Dynasty for a long time."
"congratulations."
Local people from Huguang also came to congratulate him.
These people are more purposeful, not just to build relationships, but also to pave the way for becoming officials in the court in the future. Although most of them failed to pass the exam, there are still tributes who have passed the examination in the same subject and come to say hello. Among them
There is Zhou Lang from Jinshui County, Huangzhou Prefecture, who was ranked fifth in the examination.
Zhu Hao greeted Zhou Lang, which was regarded as a meeting between local new science scholars in Huguang. From now on, the two of them would be "township party members" when they entered the court, and those around them would get out of the way.
Zhou Lang originally wanted to invite Zhu Hao to sit down, but when he saw that the people around Zhu Hao didn't seem to come from ordinary families, he felt that Zhu Hao had a government background, so he said hello without further conversation and left in a hurry.
"Zhu Hao, you have passed the Hui Yuan exam, is your next step going to be the No. 1 exam?"
Zhu Si came over and asked.
At this moment, he suddenly lost his previous excitement. He probably felt that this was someone else's glory, and no matter how lively it was, it was not his own. Now that he was in a foreign land... he unconsciously felt a little disappointed, and then thought about what would happen if Zhu Hao passed the exam.
The number one scholar will be valued by the court in the future, and he may be alienated from himself. Naturally, he will be a little depressed emotionally.
Zhu Hao whispered: "Now that His Majesty is not in the capital, it is difficult to say when the imperial examination will be held after the imperial examination... Let everything continue as usual."
"Yes, yes, everything is business as usual!"
Jiang Lun sent away the officials who announced the good news and the merchants who came to congratulate him, and ran over and said, "It's time to celebrate properly. How about we hold a banquet here, make a running table or something, and let people come over and eat as they please?"
Tang Yin reminded: "Keep a low profile, don't be too ostentatious!"
Zhu Hao said: "Mr. Tang is right. The prince is surrounded by dangers in the capital, so it is better to be cautious... We only need to know what the situation is."
Jiang Lun still couldn't hide his joy, and he seemed the happiest here: "By the way, Mr. Zhu, isn't there a Qionglin Banquet or something? When will you attend?"
Tang Yin glared at him angrily: "Then we have to wait for the names on the gold list. Now we are just passing the Huiyuan exam. Even if there is no problem in passing the Jinshi, it does not mean that we can be ranked in the Dingjia. Zhu Hao needs to prepare carefully for the exam..."
The "Qionglin Banquet" of the Ming Dynasty is called the "Enrong Banquet". After the palace examination, a banquet will be held in the Ministry of Rites to entertain the new scholars and the internal and external examiners. The palace examination has not yet happened, so it is too early to say this at this time.
Jiang Lun sighed: "I usually watch a lot of dramas, so don't be offended! Then I wish Mr. Zhu the best to come back again!"
"There are so many people here, let's change the conversation somewhere, let's go to Mr. Tang's residence..."
Zhu Hao suggested.
When Zhu Si heard that he could go to where Tang Yin lived, his little eyes regained their luster, and he said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, let's go right now."
Jiang Lun still felt dissatisfied: "We need to hold a banquet later to entertain our Mr. Zhu. I think Jiaofangsi is very good..."
Lu Song reminded: "Uncle Jiang, our people have just caused trouble in Jiaofang Division. It is best to stay away from Jiaofang Division during the recent period."
"Hahaha……"
Jiang Lun was not worried, he laughed and looked optimistic. He was the talkative and loudest person in the audience.
The group left the inn and headed to the residence arranged by Su Xigui for Tang Yin.
…
…
There will be a trial release of the results that day.
Zhu Wanquan originally went to see the announcement of the results with his friends, but when he arrived it was already a little late, no one had reserved a seat in advance, and there were many people around him, which made Zhu Wanquan feel ashamed. In the end, he just listened to the good news for a while on the street. Three days later,
After a hundred people, I went home first.
He left because a friend said to him: "It's not easy to pass the imperial examination in ten years of poverty. How can a teenager still want to pass the imperial examination? Do you really think that I, a great scholar of the Ming Dynasty, are incompetent?"
The implication is that if you are here to wait for your nephew's results, you can go back to your respective homes as soon as possible.
And now that the audition list is almost over, and I haven’t heard your nephew’s name yet, what are you still expecting here? Ranking in the top five?
Could it be that there are so many talented people in the world today, but they are not as good as a ten-year-old child in your family?
Zhu Wanquan was right when he thought about it.
The eldest nephew Zhu Hao was able to pass the exam, which made the Zhu family tend to change from a family of martial arts to a family of civil servants. Thinking about what his brother said today, Zhu Hao was not his mother's biological grandson. When Zhu Hao passed the exam, the old lady was already angry.
Attack the heart, if you really get the Jinshi exam...you shouldn't bleed on the spot?
"I don't know what my father thinks about this!"
Zhu Wanquan thought of his father, Zhu Mingshan.
To say that his third brother may not be born from the same mother as him, he is his father's child after all, right? Otherwise, why can he enter the Zhu family? Is it an adoption? For example, his father's son was Pao Ze? But that way there is no need to hide it for so many years.
Everyone is dead, what else are you hiding?
If the old lady wasn't jealous, she probably wouldn't be so angry, right?
With his thoughts on his mind, he slowly walked back to his door.
But I saw two government carriages stopped at the intersection.
Just as I was thinking about what was going on, several members of the Jinyiwei team ran towards me from a distance, followed by a group of neighbors who were joining in the fun.
"What are you doing?"
Zhu Wanquan did not come forward to greet him. The Zhu family's servants stopped the visitor first.
A guard wearing a flying fish uniform came out and said, "Is this Zhu Qianhu's residence in Beijing? I heard that he is a graduate of your residence in the undergraduate examination, so I came here to congratulate you!"
After all, Zhu Hao is different from ordinary people born in Huguang.
The Zhu family's ancestral home is not in Anlu, but their registered residence is here. As the home of the Jinyiwei, the Zhu family is now a bit out of power in the capital. However, fellow Jinyiwei and people in the government heard that the Zhu family has a Huiyuan, so they should come over quickly.
Asking for a good fortune?
As for the internal conflicts within the Zhu family?
If there was another conflict, would anyone have thought that the Zhu family would be so unkind to Zhu Hao?
Zhu Wanquan asked in surprise: "Did you...hear it wrong? Is there a Huiyuan in my house?"
Zhu Wanquan couldn't believe it.
It's impossible to get a Jinshi, but you still want to try for the first place? How about playing?
The Jin Yiwei smiled and said: "This is Mr. Zhu Haozhu, right? At first glance, it's hard to hide your noble aura. I'm waiting to congratulate you! There are also some Jin Yiwei colleagues who will come to congratulate... Why don't you go home quickly?
Send a message, will the house become lively first?"
