When the list was released, Dong Chang'an Street outside Dong Chang'an Gate was crowded with people. Whether they were members of wealthy families or ordinary people, all the spectators were eagerly looking forward to the procession of the list being released. I don't know.
After waiting for a long time, with a burst of commotion at the edge, everyone's eyes almost all looked to the same place. They saw an official from the Ministry of Etiquette wearing bright official uniforms walking slowly, surrounded by several officers.
Normally, such a steady official career is always enviable, but now, from the common people watching the excitement to the anxious tributes, everyone is cursing in their hearts this unhurried manner.
Seeing that the police officers, under the instruction of the official, posted the long yellow list on the wall, everyone almost rushed forward to see the names on it.
There is a habit of posting the Jinshi Gold List backwards, but the ones who were posted on the wall first were the top three Jinshis, with a total of 205 names. It was inevitable that I would feel dizzy, vomiting, and sore in the neck as I looked at each of them.
, Zhu Zhishan and Wen Zhengming, who were dressed in Tsing Yi, almost had their hats knocked off by others, but they still looked up nervously to find Xu Zhenqing's name. When they searched the entire top three without seeing their friend's name, they felt a sigh of relief coming from their chests,
He was sweating profusely. At this moment, Zhu Zhishan suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder and turned around hurriedly.
"Ah, Shi..."
"I'm here to see the rankings. Judging from your relieved expressions, Changgu should be at least in the top two?" Xu Xun said with a smile. Zhu Zhishan immediately reacted and said with a smile:
"Probably. Based on his previous ranking, it's more than enough to get into the second place. I'm just worried that he will miss his mark?"
,…”
"Why, you don't think he can be among the top three in the top three and parade through the streets?" Wen Zhengming glanced at the dense list of top three on the wall, then turned around and said: "1 Although Xiao Xu's policy report was not bad,
, but it can’t be said to be watertight, and besides, his calligraphy is greatly compromised, so if he can rank among the top two, he will probably be satisfied.”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone on the other side read out his name loudly: "Wan Keng, Zhang Jian..." The top two also posted the list backwards from right to left. There was only a group of people in different clothes.
The stranger followed the two slow guards and looked at the names above. Gradually, the voice of reciting the names became louder and louder. As the gold list gradually expanded to more than half, the group of relatives and friends who looked at the list also became larger and larger.
The more nervous you are, after all, the higher the ranking, the better, and the more likely you are to be admitted to the Imperial Academy after the selection. Not to mention that if the second-level students do not have names, it means that the first-level students will be awarded the Imperial Academy immediately!
"...Ni Zongzheng, Zhu Liu, Wang Bingliang, Cui Rui, Zhan Ruoshui..."
When Wang Shouren saw the name, he nodded happily: "Yuan Ming is the third place in the second class. As expected, he has accumulated a lot of experience and lived up to expectations!" "…………, Yan Song, Xu Zhenqing..." Wang Shouren on the side was still curious about Xu just now.
How did Xu Xun know the three people of Xu Zhenqing? Looking at the gold list, he happily stroked his beard, but then he heard two more familiar names. And Xu Xun found that these three people were actually ranked next to each other.
He was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help laughing: "Not only Brother Zhan, Yan Weizhong is the second in the second class, and Xuchanggu is the first in the second class. There are so many Jinshi in this department, and I only know these three
They happen to be ranked next to each other, what a coincidence!"
At this moment, most of the relatives and friends looking at the list were crying with joy or beating their feet. The joy of Xu Xun and Wang Yangming was naturally not surprising at all. Zhu Zhishan and Wen Zhengming looked at the names on the yellow list over and over again and were sure.
It was indeed true, and the two of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The second-class Chuanlu is the fourth in this subject! This is really a good ranking that they could not have imagined!
As the three names of No. 1A were finally posted at the front, the crowd of onlookers became even louder. Some of the family members of the No. 1 pick were crying with joy, and some were muttering about the ranking. In short, the noise was constant. However,
, and more people flocked to Zhengyangmen, intending to watch the triennial grand event of the first-class and three-man parade on horseback. After a while, more than half of the waiting crowd on East Chang'an Street dispersed.
"Well, the bustle at Zhengyangmen is nothing to see. Let's go to Dong'anmen and wait for the new nobles!" Xu Xun suggested, and others naturally agreed. After all, although the situation of the top three in the first class parading on horses is
Shanda, but Wang Shouren, who once won the second class, and Zhu Zhishan, Wen Zhengming, who has failed many times, certainly do not want to see others when they are most prosperous. The group crossed the Yuhe North Bridge and went up Andingmen Street to Dong'an.
Turning west on Men Street, and walking not far forward, I saw that there was the Dong'an Gate with seven bays, three doors, and a single eaves. There were more than a dozen people waiting in front of the door. They waited for an hour.
At that moment, Wang Shouren, who had the best eyesight, saw a group of people coming this way from the east upper middle gate.
Hundreds of Jinshi in one subject, and the number one scholar in the first class came out of the Zhengyang Gate surrounded by drums and ceremonial guards wearing red. They were immediately escorted by people with umbrellas under their umbrellas and paraded all the way back to their residences on horseback. However, a group of people from the second class and the third class came from the palace.
Donghua Gate and Dong'an Gate leave the palace, and a group of people leave the palace from Xihua Gate and Xi'an Gate. There is neither drumming nor red, which makes them look a lot shabby in comparison. But those in the top three often feel sorry for themselves for a while, and those who can get into the second top
Most of them were more open-minded. At this moment, everyone came out and their relatives and friends followed, but they could only hear laughter and laughter, but there was no sad face anywhere.
"Brother Yuanming, congratulations!" Wang Shouren stepped forward and said congratulations, and a man appeared from nowhere: "With Zhan Yuanming's talent and learning, what's the point of congratulations for entering the second class? He followed Baisha
Mr. Wang Bo'an, who has been studying articles and knowledge for so many years, can't compare with those who use stereotypes as a stepping stone! But Wang Bo'an, you are so focused on tinkering with military formations that you have lost all your important lectures!"
These words were spoken in a loud and fierce tone. Not to mention the few people in this compartment, even other people not far away looked over. Seeing that it was an official in his early thirties wearing a black gauze hat and a round-neck sweater, even those who were curious
Most of them gave up the idea of meddling in other people's business, but Xu Xun frowned when he saw the visitor glanced sideways at him and then looked away and ignored him.
He doesn't recognize this guy, who is he showing off to?
The young official walked up to Zhan Ruoshui as if no one else was around, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Yuan Ming is in high school today, and he won't even think about going back to Guangdong in the next half-hour. Although this capital is not as good as Guangdong, there are many people who are utilitarian and vain, but
It’s not that there are no young people who sincerely want to learn. If Wang Bo’an doesn’t give lectures, brother Yuan Ming shouldn’t learn from him! We’ve even found a place for you. It’s in Tangzi Alley on the east side of Xuanwumen Street. It was originally prepared for Wang Bo’an.
, Now I think he, the noble one, can’t spare this spare time, so I would like to ask Brother Yuan Ming to take the time to talk about it first!”
Seeing Wang Shouren being ridiculed in this way, Xu Xun frowned and was about to speak, but Wang Shouren quickly pulled his sleeve gently and said in a low voice: "Be careful, Li Kongtong's impatience doesn't look at people."
Yes, I'll just say a few words to him, and it won't be a problem! Since he's here, you'd better stay out of the way and I'll deal with it. When this man gets mad, he even beats up Shouning Hou, he doesn't look at others!
"At this moment, Xu Xun finally realized what kind of person this person dared to fall in love with. This was Li Mengyang, the most angry young man in the Ming Dynasty!
Although he thought that he had been practicing martial arts on horseback and archery recently, he would definitely not lose to this liberal arts student in a fight. But if the other party couldn't argue with him and went crazy and staged a full martial arts show at the palace gate, it would be embarrassing for people to watch.
What a joke. So, after thinking about it, he gave a slight bow to Zhan Ruoshui, then left Wang Shouren to deal with Li Mengyang, and walked to the other side, Xu Zhenqing and the others. After walking a few steps, he saw the man in front of him.
Yan Song couldn't help but pause for a moment when he was talking to a boy who looked like a boy.
Yan Song was really satisfied when he got second place in the top two in this subject. When he went to see his teacher after the examination, Yang Tinghe greatly praised his article and bluntly said that it was a pity that he could not be ranked as the examination examiner.
Otherwise, his paper would definitely be listed as the top ten recommended papers. He was flattered for a moment, but this time it was really ranked in the top ten. Of course, he was very happy in his heart. Fortunately, he listened to Xu Xun's advice and did not go to the dark side.
At this moment, he also caught a glimpse of Xu Xun, and wanted to say hello, but he just nodded to him and walked away with a smile. He felt even more grateful in his heart. It wasn't until the boy called out that he came back to his senses.
.
"Okay, let's go. Tomorrow is a banquet given by the Ministry of Rites, and there are still some things to prepare!"
Compared with Zhan Ruoshui who only met because of Wang Shouren's introduction, and Yan Song who met Yan Song just by chance, Xu Xun and Xu Zhenqing have a real friendship. At this time, Xu Zhenqing has just recovered from the surprise that came from the Golden Palace.
, when he saw Xu Xun coming over, he forgot all about it and bowed deeply. Just when he wanted to say something grateful, Xu Xun pushed his arm hard and helped him up.
"There are people coming and going here. Why do you think that the incident was not big enough before you came here suddenly? This is not the place to talk. Let's go. I congratulate you on your high school success today. I will be the host and invite the three of you to the No. 1 Scholar Building for a dental ceremony.
!”
"Hahaha, then we two will take advantage of Xiao Xu!" Zhu Zhishan and Wen Zhengming were always hindered by Xu Xun's special status at first, but after going back and forth, they just felt that this young boy was thoughtful and amiable. At this moment, Zhu Zhishan
As soon as he started talking, Wen Zhengming also smiled and said, "Originally, I wanted to say that I was the host, but today, since there is a rich man, I can save two from my pocket. My dear prince, don't think that we two are so sharp and ruthless!"
"Imaya doesn't have any heir apparent, so do you plan to ask me to call Brother Xu and pass it on to Duke Lu?"
Xu Zhenqing almost emptied his family's savings to go to Beijing this time, and received considerable financial support from Tang Yin, Zhu Zhishan, and Wen Zhengming. Although he was in high school, his pocket was almost empty. So when he saw the three people joking, he just felt that
It was so hot that he couldn't help but follow Xu Xun's hand and walk out. When he passed by the three people who had talked to Xu Xun before, he heard another angry voice.
"Wang Bo'an, I just want to ask you one thing, do you want friends or a future!"!
