Chapter 63: Look at the list

At the end of February, after the clouds were brewing, the sky in Beijing was no longer the snow particles but raindrops, and although it was raining and cold, spring was already clear.

Tomorrow is the day of the Ministry of Rites exam, that is, the provincial exam.

Cheng Shilang has been sitting in the study for half a day, although he has finished the exam half a month ago, but there is still a palace exam after that, and he doesn't dare to have fun, he has to read honestly, but I don't know if there is still this need.

If you haven't passed the provincial test.......

The spring rain was silent, but Cheng Shilang still felt that his ears were full of noise.

He simply got up and paced back and forth, suddenly stopped, and heard the faint sound of chaotic footsteps outside, and suddenly his heart hurriedly went back to a few cases and sat down, and when he sat down, the footsteps were gone.

Did you hear me wrong...

Cheng Shilang slumped his shoulders again, looked at the scrolls on several cases and was sullen for a moment, and sure enough, he couldn't read them, so he simply stood up again.

The door was slammed open at that moment.

"Shiro-kun!" The handmaiden's laughter rang out.

Cheng Shilang was so frightened that he sat back.

The room resounded with the laughter of the handmaiden.

"Sister Banqin, don't tease Shiro-kun!" Banqin said, pushing her away and coming in first.

Cheng Shilang's face turned red, and he pretended to be calm and picked up the scroll.

"What's the matter? I'm reading," he said.

The maidservant smiled and stepped forward with a gloomy face.

"Shiro-kun," she said sadly.

"Sister." Banqin stomped her feet, "Don't tease Shiro-kun." ”

She said as she stepped forward and bowed, her smile blooming like a flower.

"Congratulations to Shiro-kun." She said.

Cheng Shilang's brain suddenly boomed, and the fireworks exploded in front of him.

Although tomorrow is the right day for the release of the list. But by this time the list was already out. People who have connections and skills can already know the results.

And his sister Cheng Jianniang is naturally a person with connections and skills.

Did you hit it?

"Half celery. It's not that I want to tease Shiro-kun, it's Shiro-kun who wants to learn from Mrs. Xie. ”

"Who is Mrs. Xie?"

The voices of the two maidservants in his ears were still ringing, and Cheng Shilang couldn't hear it at all, his ears were full of hits, and he finally couldn't help grinning.

“… Won three hundred and fifty-six..."

Second Master Cheng snorted and said.

"Four hundred and eighteen people were admitted."

Cheng Shilang's face was ashamed, of course, this kind of shame is completely different from the shame of not being in the exam, and the mood is different.

"That's a hit." Cheng Jianniang said.

"It's the last one. There are also those who are in the first place during the temple examination. The maidservant smiled and said, "I heard that the master was ranked 290 in the provincial examination that year, but the palace examination jumped to 134. ”

Cheng Er's old man changed color when he heard this, and before he could speak, Cheng Qiniang spoke first.

"My father did better than the fourth brother." She said happily.

"Yes, yes, there were few candidates for the exam that year, so only three hundred were taken." The handmaid laughed.

Three hundred, two hundred and ninety?

"Ah, that's the father of the last dozen." Cheng Qiniang blurted out in her heart.

Cheng Er glared angrily.

"It's rare for a family to be able to produce two jinshi!" Second Mrs. Cheng said busily.

"It's not difficult, is it?" The maid said with a smile.

Who's this girl? So unruly? Or is it not the Cheng family?

Cheng Er's old man is angry, who is not difficult to scold? The words came to my lips and watched the servant girl come to her senses.

This handmaid really doesn't belong to theirs!

Zhang's family!

Zhang Jiangzhou's family, from the ancestors to the present, there are more than two Jinshi. Don't talk about the ancestors, let's talk about the two generations of Zhang Jiangzhou. There are no less than four...

This maid is a gift from the teacher and the elder, where can I scold casually...

Second Master Cheng swallowed back the scolding in his mouth again.

"Let's prepare for the palace test." He said, throwing his sleeves away.

"Shiro-kun, let's go and see the list." The maid also ignored Cheng Er's sullen face, and said to Cheng Shilang with a smile.

"Why do you want to see it for yourself?" Banqin asked.

The handmaid smiled.

"It's very lively to see the list, just like the big temple fair, the lantern festival, there are many people, and it's fun." She said, "You can also see the son-in-law under the list!" ”

The eyes of the little ladies in the room lit up.

Speaking of which, it will be almost two months into Beijing, and the bare flowers and trees in the yard have now emerged to be released, from severe winter to early spring, this has crossed a season, but they have not yet gone out of the house, let alone watch the temple fair and lantern festival.

It is said that the capital is prosperous and lively, but they feel that it is not as good as being in Jiangzhou.

Listening to the liveliness of this maidservant, several people couldn't sit still.

"Lady, shall we go with Shiro-kun?" The maid asked Cheng Jianniang.

Cheng Jianniang nodded.

"Shiro-kun?" The maidservant looked at Cheng Shilang again.

Cheng Jianniang agreed, and when Cheng Shilang didn't agree, he nodded immediately.

"You..." the maid's gaze turned to Cheng Siniang, Wu Niang, and Qi Niang, looking at them with a sparkling look of anticipation, "Let's go together." ”

The three little ladies were suddenly overjoyed and subconsciously stood up.

Cheng Qiniang sat down again and snorted with a stiff face.

Seeing her like this, Cheng Siniang and Cheng Wuniang hesitated, gave each other a look, and hesitated whether to sit or not.

"Then let's change our clothes and let's go, come here, prepare the car." The maidservant had already spoken loudly, and was inviting them.

Everyone was invited, and it was not good to refuse, Cheng Siniang and Wuniang did not hesitate to raise their feet and step forward.

Seeing that everyone was leaving, Cheng Qiniang suddenly stood up again.

"Fourth brother." She shouted, pedaling to keep up, grabbing Cheng Shilang's sleeve, "I'm going to ride in a car with you." ”

Cheng Shilang nodded with a somewhat doting smile.

Seeing that the maids and servants were busy because so many people were going out, the second lady Cheng Cheng, who had been neglected, had to get up too.

"Half celery, half celery."

She hurried out and said with a smile as she looked at the maid who was instructing a few servants.

The maidservant replied that she would come only after she had finished talking to the servant.

"What do you command, Madame?" She asked.

"Shiro is in high school, so I have to congratulate him." Second Mrs. Cheng said with a smile.

"That's nature. Madame, just arrange it. The handmaid also laughed. Just spend money to come to me. I accompanied the ladies to see the list. ”

After saying that, he took two steps and turned back.

"Oh, by the way, is Madame going with you too?" She asked with a smile.

Second Mrs. Cheng rolled her eyes in her heart.

"No, no, I'm going to see something, the kids go play." She laughed and looked at the servant girl and turned away with a smile. When the figure disappeared at the courtyard gate, the smile on Mrs. Cheng's face suddenly flew away.

I arrange? Spending money looking for you? What have become of me?!

Second Mrs. Cheng sighed, holding the paperwork in vain and being an empty master, she didn't want to stay up too long on this kind of day.

The street is crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, and it seems that you can't see the edge.

"Childe, how did this pass?"

A little guy shouted dumbfounded.

"It's the first time I've seen the list." A scholar next to him smiled, pointing to the stupid little guy and the stupid boy beside him.

"Yes, we came to wait for the third watch."

Hear this man speak. The scholar looked at it.

"Brother Yuan Dynasty, this time it's finally worth waiting for three watches." He laughed. While arching his hand, "Congratulations to Brother Yuan Chao High School!" ”

This high school shouted, and before Han Yuanchao could answer, he saw a group of people coming over to Hula next to him, staring at him like wolves and tigers.

"Have officials ever been married?" Voices of varying heights and thicknesses asked this sentence at the same time.

"There is, there is." Han Yuanchao replied hurriedly.

The crowd dispersed in an instant.

Han Yuanchao and his companion glanced at each other and laughed.

"It's really wild to recruit a son-in-law under the list." The scholar smiled, smiled and thought of something, "Yuan Dynasty, remember that three years ago, you were almost recruited..."

"That's not." Han Yuanchao smiled, "How many times have you said it?" ”

"Yes, it's not Chen Xianggong's family, the daughter of Chen Xianggong's family, the son-in-law selected by the little lady who wrote a good book is also a jinshi this time, but he was not caught under the list." The scholar smiled, "Then who wanted to recruit you as a son-in-law that time?" ”

"How many times have I said it, no, no." Han Yuanchao said helplessly, suddenly stopped his voice and looked in one direction.

“… Look, that high school guy has been caught! ”

The handmaid smiled, pointing ahead.

The four mothers and five mothers, including the seven mothers, who were sitting outside the carriage, were busy looking over, and their faces were excited.

"Oh, they're all so old, and they're still robbing?" Cheng Siniang said in surprise.

"Rob, of course, rob, a jinshi goes back, there are many benefits, the whole family can pay less taxes, less taxes, and more wealth." The handmaid laughed.

"Huh? Isn't that a beckoning cat? Cheng Wuniang said with a smile.

I haven't finished reading it here, but there was a lively scene over there, and three or four classes of people fought, and Cheng Qiniang giggled.

Cheng Shilang looked at his younger sisters, a little helpless and a little funny.

"Are you accompanying me to watch the list, or are you watching other people's fun?" He laughed.

"Does my brother want to see the list?" Cheng Jianniang asked.

Cheng Shilang smiled and looked at the crowd in front of him who couldn't even get a needle in.

Although I want to see my name on the list with my own eyes, it must feel very good, but...

"I already know, what else to watch." He laughed.

Cheng Jianniang smiled slightly.

"That," she turned to look aside, and as soon as she spoke, four or five attendants stood up.

"Lady." They said in unison.

"Squeeze out a way, let me and Shiro-kun go over and have a look." Cheng Jianniang said.

The attendants responded, and immediately rushed over the crowd like wolves and axes.

Looking at the road that was given way in an instant, Cheng Shilang hurriedly walked forward, looking at Cheng Jianniang.

"Sister, you don't know the names of your squires, do you?" He asked, thinking of something.

Cheng Jianniang nodded.

"I didn't pay attention." She said, "Then I'll go back and write it down." ”

Cheng Shilang laughed, and carefully escorted her to the place where the list was posted.

Who is that person?

Han Yuanchao couldn't help but think, and while watching, the crowd separated and closed. Gradually, the woman and the young scholar disappeared into the sea of people. Also to see the list?

"Yuan Dynasty. Yuan. ”

His companion shouted and patted him on the shoulder, interrupting Han Yuanchao's exploration.

"Look, look at the guy over there." His companion patted him on the shoulder, pointing to the side.

On the carriage, the maidservants were still leading the little ladies to watch the excitement, laughing from time to time.

"That girl looks a little familiar." The companion said, looking at Han Yuanchao. "Looks like that, the girl who was looking for you in the first place, right?"

Han Yuanchao smiled.

"Let's go, let's see what is going on, go back and prepare for the palace test with peace of mind." He diverted his words and turned around.

The word "palace test" reminded his companions, and he suddenly lost his mind to see the excitement.

"Go, go." He also said busily.

The two of them went against the surging crowd.

Cheng Jianniang and Cheng Shilang stood under the yellow list, and they already knew the ranking in advance, so they also knew which place they were about, but Cheng Shilang's sight was still at the top of the list.

Qin arc.

"It's that Qin Xiaolangjun." Cheng Shilang said, with a little surprise and a little envy. "How powerful is it at such a young age?"

Cheng Jianniang looked over and smiled slightly.

"Some people are talented. Don't compare this and don't care about it. She said.

"I don't compare." Cheng Shilang smiled, his eyes fell on the last one, and he quickly found his name, his heart pounded, and he looked excited, "Look, mine, mine." ”

Sure enough, seeing my name with my own eyes felt different.

The person next to him saw his excited appearance, looked at the ranking he was looking at, and pouted.

"Everyone who counts down is so excited, I don't know if the top of the list will faint and be carried out." They chuckled under their breath.

………………………………………

"Childe!"

At this time, ten miles outside the capital, two horses were slowly stopping, and one of the small servants pointed ahead and shouted loudly.

"Look, it's Zhou Langjun here!"

The son on the horse behind him took off his hood and revealed that it was Qin Arc, who was the top of the list today.

A smile bloomed on Qin Bangshou's face, looking at the people and horses galloping in front of him.

"Ah, Zhou Shiban, it's been a hard journey." He stepped forward and laughed loudly.

Saturday Lang was still wearing a raincoat, and the raindrops on it had been blown dry, he reached out and took off his hat, looked at Qin Shisanlang and snorted.

"Don't dare, don't dare, there is Lao Qin Provincial Yuan to greet you." He arched his hand.

Qin Shisanlang laughed and straightened his body at him.

"Come, come, shout twice." He said, "It's not in vain that I braved the rain to come so far early in the morning to pick you up." ”

Saturday Lang snorted and suddenly took out a flower crown from behind him.

Qin Shisanlang was taken aback.

"What do you want to do?" He shouted, urging his horse to turn around.

But he was still a step too late, and he was urged by Liulang to reach out and grab it.

"I don't want to bring this!" He shouted.

In the end, the thick arm that held Liulang's arm was strong, and it was pressed and buckled on his head.

"I have called you Qin Shengyuan, how can you do it without hairpins!" Saturday Lang laughed.

"I haven't tried it yet! What hairpins! Qin Shisanlang stretched out his hand to take it off.

Liulang reached out and held it.

"Hey, little lame, don't you dare to hairpin? Are you afraid that you won't be able to enter the top ten when the hairpin comes? He laughs.

Qin Shisanlang snorted and shook off Liuliulang.

"Don't provoke me, it's useless." He said, urging his horse forward, wearing a crooked and funny flower crown on his head and not taking it off.

"I must be in the top ten hairpins that day, I just hate your ugly flowers."

"It's ugly."

"Where did you get that?"

"I don't know how to pick some beautiful flowers"

"Stealing it from the side of the road, right? It's not a money to buy, is it? ”

Saturday Lang laughed and urged the horses to catch up, and the two horses rushed to the front.
