Chapter 82 Confrontation and Release (Seeking Monthly Pass Collection)

On the first day of the first month of March, outside Chongwen Gate, in a restaurant in Chongwenfang, Zhang Qiandu invited guests again.

Shi Kefa naturally received an invitation and went alone.

There are only six days left before the examination list is released, and at this time, many people who participated in the examination are quite concerned about whether they can go to high school.

Shi Kefa is also concerned, but he will never talk about this exam with others, because he knows very well that it is superfluous to talk about worrying at this time, and it is typical to ask for trouble, and it is enough to go to the Ministry of Rites to see the list on the day the list is released.

When there were still about two hundred zhang away from the restaurant, Shi Kefa looked around and muttered to himself: "Why do you always feel that there is something wrong with today's banquet, I feel that there is a taste of Hongmen banquet." ”

"Brother Xian, I'm waiting for you, please come in quickly. ”

"Brother Lao Qiandu is waiting at the door, I'm really embarrassed, thank you very much. ”

Zhang Qiandu was waiting at the door in person, which was indeed beyond Shi Kefa's expectations, because of his family background and knowledge, he was still quite arrogant.

Ordinary people don't look down on it at all, and the more than 30 people invited to the last gathering are basically the people who rank high in the township examination, and in the final analysis, these people have the hope of being able to take the high school examination, as for those who are less famous in the new imperial examination, there are almost no invitations.

When he walked into the restaurant, Shi Kefa insisted that Zhang Qiandu walk in front, he walked behind, whether it was in terms of age or seniority, he should be a little humble.

The sound of talking and laughter came to the face, and there were at least six or seven hundred people in the lobby on the first floor, which could be described as huge and spectacular.

Shi Kefa unconsciously turned his head and looked at Zhang Qiandu, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"In the same year, let me introduce to you, this is our Nanzhili Wuchenke Township Examination Junjie Shi Kefa, the word Xianzhi, twenty-six years old, the ninth place in the high school township examination. ”

The sudden opening remarks made Shi Kefa pause, he has always liked to be low-key and doesn't like to show up.

"You are the same year, just now is the love of Brother Qiandu, I don't dare to be, Nanzhili outstanding people, talented, there are nearly 30 champions in the palace test.

There are many heroes of the company, how dare I take on the second name, Brother Qiandu invited me to participate in the gathering today, I feel very honored, and I also ask you to teach more after the same year, I thank you here. ”

While speaking, Shi Kefa clasped his fists and saluted.

Zhang Qiandu beside him, the smile on his face froze slightly.

The maturity and flexibility shown by Shi Kefa are not at all nerd's approach.

Zhang Qiandu picked up his wine glass and spoke loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Taicang Yingshe was founded by me and Brother Zhang Cai, and now there are 3,000 scholars, and there are more than 700 students who come here to gather, which is really a happy event, let me toast to this grand gathering. ”

Everyone raised their glasses, including Scofa.

After drinking a glass of wine, Zhang Qiandu held Hu in his right hand and a wine glass in his left hand, and walked in front of Shi Kefa.

"Brother Xian, is my Nanzhili Junjie, in the next Bucai, on behalf of Nanzhili Yingshe, respect the constitution of a cup. ”

Shi Kefa naturally didn't dare to refuse, and hurriedly said:

"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, the people gathered by the society are all the talents of my Nanzhili, and Brother Qiandu toasts on behalf of the society, and it is an honor to be there. ”

In front of everyone's eyes, Zhang Qiandu and Shi Kefa drank the second glass of wine.

Zhang Qiandu did not leave, and insisted again.

"Qiandu is not talented, and then I respect the brother of the constitution with a glass of wine, on behalf of my society, to welcome the driver, I don't know what to do. ”

The surroundings instantly became quiet, and Zhang Qiandu's move was a little unreasonable.

It's just because of Taicang's Ying Society, the scholars absorbed are mainly students, which has become a rule recognized by everyone.

Once the township takes the high school entrance examination and becomes a lifter, he is regarded as a member of the imperial court and should not easily join the school.

Of course, the students who join the society are also members of the society after the township examination high school.

Of course, the greater the number of Jinshi and Juren in Taicang's Ying Society, the greater its influence and the greater the role it can play.

Shi Kefa couldn't help it and said with a smile.

"Brother Qiandu, this move is not appropriate, it is the identity of a person below. ”

"Brother Xian doesn't have to care, the imperial court has not forbidden people to join the academy. ”

Shi Kefa's brain was running rapidly, pondering what Zhang Qiandu meant.

It is true that the imperial court does not stipulate that people cannot join the academy, this is just a common rule of the people, and it is also in line with the practice of the imperial court.

Once you have the fame of raising people, it means that you can enter the court as an official, no matter how big or small the official is, you are all from the court, if you join the society at this time, it will imply disrespect to the court.

If Zhang Qiandu is directly rejected, it will undoubtedly be a direct turn of face with the Ying Society or the future restoration of the Society, and at present, such an approach is unwise.

Looking up at all the same years in the hall, Shi Kefa suddenly understood that today's banquet was aimed at Shi Kefa, and whether he agreed or refused, his reputation would suffer a heavy blow.

Shi Kefa was also very depressed, after all, he suffered an unjustified disaster.

Calming down slightly, Shi Kefa stood up and picked up the wine dendrobium on the table.

"Come and don't be rude, Brother Qiandu toasted in the next glass of wine, and he should also toast Brother Qiandu with a glass of wine. ”

After waving his hand, Shi Kefa continued:

"I was moved by Brother Qiandu's concern and urgency, Yingshe is a place where my Nanzhili Junjie gathers, and there are countless talents. ”

"As for Brother Qiandu and his joining the Ying Society, I don't think it's appropriate. ”

The lobby was quiet again, this time silent.

Shi Kefa said calmly:

"Yingshe is the most outstanding society in my Nanzhili, gathering many scholars in Yingshe to discuss current affairs, and its purpose is also to send talents to the imperial court, so as to revitalize my Ming Dynasty and reform the shortcomings of today's society. ”

"Brother Qiandu and Zai Xia were lucky, the township examination was high school, and they were able to go to the capital to participate in the examination, in this case, in the next thought, it is most advisable to implement their ambitions in the temple. ”

"Brother Qiandu and in the countryside are both high schools, if you join the Ying Club at this moment, you don't know what you want, and you still think what the Ying Society wants to do, and you want to do something earth-shattering.

Is it to learn from the appearance of the imperial court, recruit some jinshi and raise people into it, if there is really such a discussion, Brother Qiandu and Brother Zhang Cai, I am afraid it is not easy to explain. ”

"I thought that after the township test, the meeting test and even the palace test, what I thought should be above the temple, as the saying goes, the high of the temple is worried about its king, and the distance of the rivers and lakes is worried about its people. ”

In the end, Shi Kefa smiled slightly:

"Brother Qiandu, do you say yes, if you think that what you say is reasonable, then drink this glass of wine, if you think you are arrogant, you will punish yourself with a glass of wine, in order to offset the anger in Brother Qiandu's heart. ”

Zhang Qiandu's face changed several times, and he was speechless.

Shi Kefa had a smile on his face and kept raising his glass.

......

On March 16 of the first year of Chongzhen, Mao time.

Shi Kefa entered Zhengyangmen Street, looked up at the rather gloomy sky, and let out a long breath.

Today is the day of the trial list, and I believe that there will be a lot of people who will try to be in the same year along the way.

When I arrived at the place where the Ministry of Rites released the list, it was already three o'clock.

The surroundings were already densely packed with people.

There are more than 3,000 people who participated in the examination, and the number should exceed 10,000 people with their scholars and subordinates.

The examination is just a singing list, and there will be no congratulatory people, and those who participate in the examination will also come to see the list in person.

When Shi Xiaoliu was about to squeeze forward, Shi Kefa stopped it, there was no need to squeeze to the front, the voice of the person who sang the list was loud, and it could be heard from afar, besides, once the singing list started, the surroundings would be quiet.

At that hour, the surroundings fell silent, and everyone's eyes were on the gate of the Ministry of Rites.

"Squeak. With a bang, the door of the Ministry of Rites finally opened.

"Bang, bang, bang. ”

"I will try to release the list, and no one will avoid it. ”

"The tribute who will take the test will report to the Honglu Temple tomorrow. ”

The loud voice echoed all around, the crowd instantly became quiet, and everyone's eyes looked at the clerk's tray, which was the tribute of the high school entrance examination.

Shi Kefa's expression was calm, but his heart was equally excited.

"Young master, it's time to release the list. ”

Shi Xiaoliu reminded, and Shi Kefa nodded to indicate that he knew.

"Congratulations to the 335th place in the high school etiquette department. ”

The first Gongshi of the Sect will be produced, although it is the last place in the examination.

An ecstatic lifter, while asking the people around him to make a way, squeezed forward with a slight force, needless to say, this person is the one who will take the high school exam.

The people around him consciously gave way and let the high school tribute go to the front, of course, the scholar and the others also followed behind, not only the tribute with a look of ecstasy on his face, but also the scholar behind him with a proud look on his face.

Everyone knows that once you can take the high school exam, when you have to take the re-exam, there is no physical defect, and participating in the palace exam is a sure thing.

......

will try to release the list, there will be no interruption, after the first list is sung, and then the second list is sung, and the person at the front can see the list clearly, that is, once the list is hung out, you can see whether there is your own name.

Shi Kefa is standing in a relatively remote position, so he naturally can't see the list, in fact, there are not many people who can see the list, and more people know whether it is high school through the people who sing the list.

More than an hour has passed, and five lists have been listed, with thirty people on each list, a total of one hundred and fifty people, and there are still seven remaining lists.

Shi Kefa's face was pale, his expression was nervous, and his fists were clenched carefully, and all the sweat drops in his hands were there.
