With the efficiency improvement of the School Supervisory Academy, the imperial list of the top thirty Jinshi was quickly posted on the bulletin board in Shangjing City.
He also announced to the world that the top three candidates will be announced at the Yizheng Hall in three days to participate in the palace examination.
As soon as this list came out, the whole city was in a sensation, the streets were deserted, the restaurants and teahouses were packed, and the storytellers were salivating.
Everyone gathered in front of the imperial list, and everyone wanted to have a sneak peek and know the names of the people who came out on top this time.
When it comes to scientific research, it can be said that when thousands of troops cross a single-plank bridge, some people are always happy and some are sad.
As a result, under the notice, people laughed heartily, cried with joy, hugged each other and cried bitterly, and regretted their mistakes...everywhere.
There are all kinds of images of all living beings in one day, which can be truly wonderful.
The bustle lasted almost the whole day, until the sun set and the cold wind started to pick up, and many of the crowds thinned out.
At this time, a man in Tsing Yi came in the early morning wind. He was wearing thin clothes, with black hair and a solemn expression, and a firm step.
After passing through the already small flow of people, he slowly stepped forward, raised his eyes, and started looking at the name of the last person. When he saw the front, his tight lips finally showed a trace of joy, and his clenched fists trembled slightly.
From between his fingers, a sapphire blue money bag loomed.
People around him were still whispering, some discussing who Xia Xuechen was who won the first place and why they had never heard of him before; others lamented that this heroic young man Su Zijin not only won the first prize in the Kyoto Poetry Society
Taking the lead, this scientific examination also shined...
The man turned a deaf ear to all this, took a deep breath, and prepared to leave.
At this moment, a spectator on the side suddenly grabbed his arm and said, "Brother, I see that you are also dressed as a candidate. You are very handsome. I wonder if you have seen the top three? What do they look like?"
"Sorry, no comment." The man smiled faintly, bowed to him humbly, and turned to leave.
When the onlooker saw him like this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with disdain, "Hey, what are you pretending to be? At first glance, he is a guy with a lost reputation!"
The man was unmoved by this questioning voice, but the smile on his face was a little more relieved.
In the past, he cared so much about other people's words that he almost embarked on a road of eternal disaster. Now that everything has come to a close, he realizes that he was not firm enough in the past.
But this time, he will definitely do what he wants to do!
Taking a deep breath, the man squeezed the money bag in his hand, raised his eyes, and strode away.
What the man didn't know was that in a dark blue carriage that had been parked here for a whole day in an alleyway not far from the imperial list, a woman in a light blue dress was carefully picking her hair.
I opened the curtain and looked at the direction he was leaving with tears streaming down my face.
On the other side, the entrance to the Wei Mansion.
A young man wearing thin white clothes slowly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the guard guard, "I'm Su Zijin, please see Mr. Xiao Zhang."
The guard had never seen such a person come to the Wei Mansion before. Although he knew that Zhang Qingjiu was not in the manor, he saw that although he was plainly dressed, he was modest and polite, so he sent someone to inform the old housekeeper.
The old housekeeper was currently in the accounting room with Chu Feng looking at the current month's expenses. When he heard that a young man came looking for Zhang Qingjiu, he couldn't help but turn around to look at Chu Feng.
But he saw Chu Feng's eyes burning, "Did that young man tell me his last name?"
"He calls himself Su Zijin." the guard replied.
"Su Zijin?" The old housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and a hint of admiration suddenly flashed in his eyes, "Isn't this the second Jinshi who just made it to the imperial list today?"
"Quickly, let him in!" Chu Feng rolled his eyes and suddenly became happy.
"Miss, the young lady is not at home." My young lady has been unhappy since she left the house. The old housekeeper rarely saw her so happy, but he felt something was wrong and couldn't help but remind him loudly.
Unexpectedly, Chu Feng responded with a sly smile, "It's hard to handle this matter since she's here!"
Hearing this, the old housekeeper felt even more uneasy, but he had no choice but to send someone to take over Su Zijin's house.
The old housekeeper didn't know what the two talked about, but he knew that after the young man came out, his face was full of ambition, and his smile almost reached the corners of his eyes.
Three days, it will arrive soon.
The first ray of sunshine appeared, dyeing half of the sky red. Today is destined to be an extraordinary day.
In the carriage, Chu Lan helped Zhang Qingjiu straighten the cloak he had hurriedly put on when going out.
A few strands of black hair fell on it, with a bit of laziness. Chu Lan's fingers trembled, his eyes flashed and he said: "If there are any problems in the court today, Uncle Jing will answer them. Listen.
Just stay still, don't speak casually."
"Yeah." Zhang Qingjiu responded with half-conscious eyes.
She's given all the instructions, but she won't speak.
For three consecutive days, it was really too much to go to court every day.
"If you are sleepy, don't go to court after today." Seeing her looking like she was about to wake up, Chu Lan's eyes flashed with helplessness.
"No." After hearing this, Zhang Qingjiu suddenly woke up and immediately fell into Chu Lan's arms, leaning against him: "I have to follow you."
Even though he knew that this girl would sometimes act in ways that caught him off guard, Chu Lan still couldn't help but feel swaying in her heart every time, and finally became frightened.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Lan carefully held half of Zhang Qingjiu's face and said, "Just wait for me in the house."
Finally, Chu Lan said again: "It's almost here."
He said these two words in a low voice, as if he was telling Zhang Qingjiu something, and at the same time, he seemed to be talking to himself.
Zhang Qingjiu's ears twitched and his brows raised, "What's so fast?"
Chu Lan smiled and raised her eyes, "Nothing, just rest for a while and I'll call you when you get there."
From Zhang Qingjiu's perspective, all he could see was the smile on Chu Lan's eyes and brows, as well as the beauty of a beautiful spring day.
When the door of the government hall is opened and the ministers kneel down to worship, the first thing that bears the brunt is naturally the major event of the day - the palace examination.
"Announcement—the top three, Xia Xuechen, Su Zijin, and He Lianchen, come to see you!" Following Defu's call, three figures climbed up the stairs and slowly appeared in everyone's field of vision.
On the second day after the notice came out, someone from the Superintendent's College found them, took a bath, burned incense, changed clothes, and put on custom-made Juzi clothes, just to show off their style in front of the temple today.
But even so, the same clothes and the same bun still have completely different demeanor.
The first person walking was naturally Xia Xuechen, with a handsome face, steady steps and solemn expression.
Immediately behind him was a handsome young man with delicate features, rosy lips and an outstanding temperament.
The last one is a little less calm and a little more unruly than the previous two. His eyes are slightly raised and his expression is arrogant.
Chu Wei was obviously very happy to see these three young talents. The smile on his face never stopped after seeing them. After they bowed and introduced themselves one by one, he greeted them for a while and noticed that they
After I was no longer nervous, I was ready to start the highlight of the day.
However, before he could start, someone spoke before him, "Your Majesty, student He Lianzhen thinks that this scientific examination is unfair. Student, I am not convinced!"
