Chapter 117: Li Chengyun VS Feng Songchuan
On the third day of the lunar month, Xuanyin Pavilion accepted the selection of apprentices, and the whole world was shaken.
Emperor Jianzhao ordered to stop the dynasty for three days, and if the ministers were in a hurry, they could go to the Xuanyin Pavilion Sitong Hall to see the driver.
However, these three days, not since the third day of the lunar month, the entire selection will last for more than half a month, the thousands of people who signed up for the whole Liang have passed through a pass of survival of the fittest, to the turnips, to the last three days, the rest must be in the rhythm of the rare talent, by the examiners are optimistic, think that can be created talents.
Therefore, the three days of stopping the dynasty are the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth of the lunar month, and in these three days, Emperor Jianzhao will drive the Xuanyin Pavilion and watch the last few exams.
The sky is not yet dawn, and it is just when it arrives, there are carriages and pedestrians on the street in front of the Xuanyin Pavilion, although everyone knows that there are still two hours before the Xuanyin Pavilion opens the gate, but you can be in front of the queue if you come early, anyway, you can't sleep at home, it is better to come to the queue, and you can also listen to some gossip.
If it weren't for the curfew at night in Fengjing, I don't know how many people would line up on the streets all night.
In just a few moments, the streets closest to Xuanyin Pavilion had been blocked by people who had rushed to apply for the election, and the scene became very chaotic.
Wen Sheng's carriage was also mixed in the flow of people, and it was Yunlu who drove the carriage for her.
The surroundings were crowded and crowded, and the voices were boiling, that is, the horse pulling the cart was born in Fengjing, and he was not frightened when he saw the big scene, but he couldn't move an inch if he wanted to go forward.
Seeing this, Wen Sheng said to Yunlu: "Don't worry, it'll be as soon as it officially starts, but sign up for a record, if you can't do it today, there will be tomorrow, and if you can't do it tomorrow, there will be the day after tomorrow, just look at the branches next to it." ”
Du Yuanpu has already inquired for her, starting from the third year of junior high school, the first three days are the registration day. Xuanyin Pavilion will send a special person to verify the identity of the applicant, the letter of recommendation, the registration that meets the requirements, and issue a candidate's number plate.
As long as this number plate is not eliminated, it will not be withdrawn, and it will be used for admission in future exams.
This first level is to brush off those who have ulterior motives or are not prepared to pass the test, and there is no pressure to be prepared for the exam.
That being said. The vast majority of people have never entered the Xuanyin Pavilion. Seeing such a big battle, I still can't help but be nervous.
Yun Lu thought that if it was possible, it would be better to get it on the board as soon as possible. If there is a problem, it is good to have a turnaround.
As soon as the hour arrived, a large group of officers and soldiers drove to Xuanyin Pavilion Street to maintain order, and ordered those who were about to sign up to retreat ten zhang away from the gate of Xuanyin Pavilion. Outside there was a long line of snakes, waiting for the adults in charge of verifying their identities to arrive.
And then another hour. Wen Sheng arrived at Ping'an Hutong last night and settled down early, but he was in an excited mood, and he didn't fall asleep for a long time, and he was called up just after he was confused. At this moment, she was yawning in the car, and if it weren't for the noisy environment, she really wanted to take a nap to catch up on sleep.
The sun is out. But the weather is not very good today, it is cloudy and cold. I don't know if it will snow after a while.
There was a commotion from the front of the team, Yun Lu heard it clearly outside, and said to Wen Sheng: "It was said that the people from Xuanyin Pavilion came out." ”
After waiting a little longer, the team began to move slowly.
Wen Sheng's carriage was lined up at the end of the street, and the black pressure in front of him could not be seen, Yun Lu roughly estimated that there were at least seven or eight hundred people in front of them, and of course there were more people behind.
Don't get into trouble.
After more than half an hour, the carriage moved a hundred feet forward with the procession, and with the eyes of the cloud heron, he could already see the front of the procession in the distance.
Although the gate of Xuanyin Pavilion is open, it is guarded by officers and soldiers, and it is not allowed to enter or exit.
In the vacant space in front of the door, five long tables were lined up, and there were people sitting behind the tables, too far away to see their appearances, but they looked like musicians in their dress.
Look at the candidates who signed up again, the people in front of the queue were all called to get off the bus and wait, whose turn was it, that person stepped forward, talked a few words with a few officials who looked like officials, handed over things, a few officials looked at it, or asked a few words, and then pointed to a table and asked him to come over, or waved away directly.
Yun Lu observed for a while, and guessed that those officials should be the people in charge of screening today, and the five tables behind them were sitting in charge of registration and issuing number plates.
As for why five people are needed, there are probably too many people who need to register, or it may be that they are directly divided into groups, whether this is the case, and you will know when you get the number plate after a while.
Yun Lu told Wen Sheng what he saw, and after a while, a soldier came over and told the people in the front and back cars to get out of the car.
Yun Lu drove the car to the side, waiting to hear Wen Sheng's good news.
This time, the team was compacted, and it was full of people as far as the eye could see.
Wen Sheng actually saw a particularly pleasing one among the dozens of people in front of her, Zhong Tianzheng was in the middle of her head, and he didn't arrive long earlier than her.
The two were separated by more than a dozen people, and they didn't even notice each other before.
Looking at his dress today, it is almost the same as when he participated in the Hanlan meeting that day.
Wen Sheng just didn't see it.
Waiting is also an individual job, especially on such a cold day.
The young master of the unknown family in front of Wen Sheng sneezed a few loud sneezes one after another, dragging his snot and hurriedly looking for handkerchiefs all over his body, attracting the sideways glances of the people around him.
Zhong Tianzheng turned his head and saw Wen Sheng lining up behind him at a glance, and was stunned.
Wen Sheng felt that he was being watched, looked up, the two looked at each other, Zhong Tianzheng actually showed a chill in his eyes, and glared at Wen Sheng fiercely.
Wen Sheng felt that he was very innocent, didn't he just tell him in advance, and he had to sign up for the selection?
God knows that when she first entered Beijing, she really didn't have such thoughts.
Well, she was stimulated by Feng Songchuan, and after having this thought, she also had the opportunity to talk to him, Wen Sheng deliberately didn't mention it, because she didn't want to have anything to do with Zhong Tianzheng.
Anyway, Zhong Tianzheng had already turned his head back, and he had offended him again, so forget it, think about what he said when he signed up for a while.
More than halfway through, Zhong Tianzheng was arranged.
He stepped forward, and his outstanding appearance immediately attracted many eyes.
Zhong Tianzheng behaved very respectfully towards several officials, answered a few questions, and took out the letter of recommendation and presented it with both hands.
The person who issued the letter of recommendation for him was quite identious, and the official actually showed a rare smile on his face, pointed to the first table behind him, and asked him to go over and register.
It was so smooth that it felt like he was standing in front of the official who was checking his identity, and it didn't take half the time of the one in front of him.
Looking at this posture, Wen Sheng couldn't help but have a hunch: the next selection of Zhong Tianzheng will also go smoothly, as he said, how can it be difficult for him to be defeated in the selection of Xuanyin Pavilion.
It was almost noon when it was Wen Sheng's turn.
Wen Sheng walked up to several officials, stood with his hands over, and calmly let them look at him.
One of them asked, "What's your name and where does your family live?" ”
"Gu Wensheng, my family lives away from the water."
As soon as Wen Sheng's words came out, he saw that the other party's face was a little weird, not only that, but he also exchanged glances with a few people next to him, Wen Sheng suddenly realized that he was afraid that he was going to be in trouble, and sure enough, the person stopped asking and waved his hand: "Okay, you can go." ”
Wen Sheng frowned slightly: "Dare to ask my lord, what does this mean?" ”
"What do you mean? You do not meet the requirements and cannot register. The man nodded impatiently to the next one.
How could Wen Sheng give up like this, no need to ask, it must be the ghost of Feng Songchuan, she stood where she was and didn't move, and asked: "My lord just listened to my name, and I haven't even read the recommendation letter, I don't know where I don't meet the requirements?" Isn't it an inappropriate name? ”
The official let out an "oops", and said in a strange manner: "Lord Ben has heard of you, a woman is crazy all day long, this is where you can come." Hurry up, or I'll call the officers and soldiers over. ”
Wen Sheng sneered: "There is no mention in the holy decree that women cannot come to participate, this restriction is added by yourself, my lord." ”
Tampering with the holy decree is a big crime of stealing the family and exterminating the clan, and the official's face changed slightly, how dare he admit it.
A companion next to him saw that the situation was not right, and gently smashed him with his elbow, and said with a smile: "Is there really a recommendation?" Show us who gave it to you. ”
This is going to report to Feng Songchuan after reading it.
Wen Sheng secretly disdained it, and took out the recommendation letter that had been prepared a long time ago.
Several officials still sneered on their faces, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the back of the recommendation letter with yellow powder and wax, sprinkled with gold flakes, and couldn't help but be stunned.
The jade plate paper made by Emperor Jianzhao's inner palace has always been exclusively for the use of the imperial family, and even if the ministers are rewarded by the palace, they do not dare to use it on ordinary occasions.
Those few people were apprehensive, and one of them took the letter of recommendation, and when he saw the payment, he almost came down in sweat.
Cheng Guogong Li carrier, how could it be him?
So far, there have been nearly 1,000 candidates who have been verified by them, and this is the first one recommended by Cheng Guogong.
With this letter of recommendation, it is obviously inappropriate to drive Gu Wensheng away again.
Several officials secretly regretted that this matter was handled hastily, just hearing that this woman had offended Lord Feng, Lord Feng was angry and said that he would make it difficult for her in the selection of Xuanyin Pavilion, but he didn't expect this woman to have such a deep background and such a hard backstage.
The gods are fighting, what do you say they are talking about?
Feng Songchuan is better than Cheng Guogong than the saint, so it must be Cheng Guogong's superiority.
At this time, an official who had been hiding behind and did not make a sound saw this: "Since there is a letter of recommendation, why didn't you take it out earlier?" Hurry up, come and register, don't delay the back. ”
He pointed out to Wen Sheng the middle table.
Just register it, there is a letter of recommendation from Li Chengyun, Wen Sheng is not afraid of a few small officials making trouble, and immediately walked to the table to register and receive the number plate. (To be continued) R640
