Chapter 299: Ranked first
It is rare for the eldest grandson's family to have such warmth.
Maybe today's bright moon is extraordinarily shining.
The bright moonlight fell in, and the oil lamps in this Buddhist hall became dim.
But for the people in the temple, it was a different feeling.
After controlling his emotions, Changsun Wuji looked at Changsun Chong and said very gently: "You study hard, study...... It's still useful after all. Fathers don't care what you learn, but you can be so sensible today, and you are already happy to be a father. In the past two days, the state exam is about to be released, you have only been enrolled for a short time, and there is too much knowledge owed before, just tell the truth for my father, I naturally know that you failed the exam, because you participated in the state exam, there are also some gossip, some words are not good, but what? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled with a pleased face, and continued: "Let them scold, I was ashamed of my father before, but now I am not ashamed, because if you can do this, it will be enough to comfort your life, in front of this Buddha, you no longer want anything for your father." ”
As he spoke, he stood up and said with concern: "It's late, I know you have to get up early every day, you see, your body is a lot stronger, it's better to go to bed early." ”
Changsun Chong is actually sleepy, after all, he gets up early every day, and he has long been accustomed to going to bed early, and his bad habits have long since changed, and as soon as it gets dark, he comes to sleepiness, so he got up, saluted to Changsun Wuji and Mrs. Changsun, and said goodbye.
The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the back of his son walking out, still showing a relieved look.
"At first, when he came back, he scared me, and I thought it wasn't my own child, but now it's ......."
Mrs. Changsun smiled, she gave incense to the Buddha, and said: "Now, after listening to many things in his school, I know the reason, it seems that it is the fault of our parents, I used to spoil him too much, and almost mistook him, but thanks to Chen Zhengtai, if it weren't for him, I really don't know what Chong'er will do in the future, people say that people have virtue, more important than Wanguan family wealth, if not, even if he gives him Wanguan family wealth, what's the use?" In the end, it is not necessary to lose everything completely, and now ...... I'm really relieved, San Lang, no matter what, you have to thank that Chen Zhengtai. ”
When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he subconsciously bowed his head, just...
His son's change was indeed very satisfying, but when he thought of thanking Chen Zhengtai in person, he felt strange in his heart.
…………
The same is probably true for the Fang family.
Fang Xuanling suddenly felt that he was full of energy.
Last night, Fang Yiai actually found him and said a lot of touching words to him.
All of a sudden, Fang Xuanling felt as if he had not lived in vain in his life, and the change of Fang's love made it so that the Hedong lion at home roared, and he even smiled.
Seeing that the New Year is coming to an end.
Therefore, after the examiners hurriedly read the papers, they finally decided on the list.
There are more than 3,700 candidates in Yongzhou, the largest number among all the states, accounting for almost one-tenth of all children.
However, because what is involved is fame, it must be carefully selected, and the number of candidates admitted is limited to 200.
It seems that there are few people in high school, and there is a probability of 1 in 10 at most.
But you must know that these more than 3,000 children have also been selected by the county examination, so it is very rare to be considered the best of the best.
This is a major national event, so after the marking of the papers, even if it is the admitted test paper, until the final result, it is still used in the way of vague names, for the sake of ......... It is to prevent officials from going up and down their hands.
Lu Kuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, attaches great importance to this, and he knows very well that once he is involved in a cheating case, then this first state test will be over, and what will follow is His Majesty's thunderous anger.
It can be seen from many recent events that His Majesty is no longer as generous as before, and the consequences must be very painful.
So Dou Lukuan stared at death in almost every place during the whole process, what is his fame? Of course, fame cannot be used as a title, but what is at stake is privilege, and any normal dynasty is very cautious about privileges.
It's like the Han Dynasty, if you don't have military merits, you can't be a marquis, no matter how good you behave, if you don't have it, you don't have it, so it is inevitable that some people will have the regret that Li Guang is difficult to seal.
But once it comes to the end of the dynasty, in order to maintain people's hearts, a large number of titles are rewarded, then the number of qi of this dynasty is about the same.
Because of this, the court attaches great importance to it.
After doing things well, Dou Lukuan entered the palace to meet the emperor, Gu Yan's reading of the papers was over, and Yongzhou admitted one hundred and seventy-three talents.
When Li Shimin heard this number, he was quite satisfied, and then issued an edict and released the list.
Li Shimin is a very smart person, and he did not ask for the one hundred and seventy-three test papers to be shown to him in advance.
This is to set an example, in order to tell everyone that before the results of the list are released, even the emperor must not be questioned.
After all, he, His Majesty the current Emperor, can certainly be just.
Who knows if his descendants, those successive sons of heaven, will change the results of the imperial examination at will because of their likes and dislikes for a certain person when they read the papers and results in advance?
So, Dou Lukuan was edicted to leave.
On this day, the morning light gently sprinkled the earth, and the early morning chill was stronger, and the eldest grandson Chong got up, and then quickly washed and dressed neatly, and rushed out of the door.
I still remember that before the holiday, he had made an agreement with his classmates to go to the list together.
At this time, there was already a sea of people in Guozijian, and the scene was very noisy.
Chen Zhengtai also seems to be interested.
He also appeared here early in the morning with Xue Rengui.
As for why he deliberately brought Xue Rengui? To prevent irrational people from appearing, of course.
Xue Rengui is actually not interested in the affairs of scholars.
But Chen Zhengtai gave him a fragrant meatloaf, and he was happy.
While following Chen Zhengtai, while carefully holding the meatloaf, he first carefully bites the edge of the meatloaf, and then leaves the meat filling in the innermost, as a treasure to eat the edge of the pie, and the last bite of the meat ball inside is stuffed into his mouth, full of meat!
Yes...... That's what happiness tastes like.
Of course, happiness is always fleeting, and when the lump of meat is grunted, the fun disappears.
But after all, he had a better attitude towards Chen Zhengtai, who was clamoring to go with Su Dingfang to train the soldiers, but now he was finally willing to take charge of the garrison in a down-to-earth manner.
Soon, Chen Zhengtai met many protégés of his school one after another in the crowd.
When everyone saw him, they gathered one after another, and they all saluted Chen Zhengtai respectfully, and then watched the list with Chen Zhengtai.
A few moments later, there were more than 100 people gathered here.
In the school, there are more than 140 candidates in Yongzhou, and there are still a group of candidates who need to go back to their places of origin to take the exam.
Changsun Chong and Fang Yiai are also here, Fang Yiai is obviously not too rare now, Changsun Chong, he thinks that other senior brothers are his role models.
The eldest grandson Chong was looking for news of Deng Jian, and asked a few classmates before he learned that Deng Jian could not come today.
I heard that he dragged someone to find a short errand, as if he was giving people piecework in the workshop, because it was a short job, so the opportunity was rare.
"This guy." The eldest grandson shook his head, and regretted that he couldn't watch the list together. However, he can still understand Deng Jian.
Those days in the school, he and Deng Jian had the most contact, since he was very familiar with Deng Jian, and he would chat with each other on weekdays, for his family background, Changsun Chong knew very clearly, so for Deng Jian's behavior at any cost in order to change his family situation, and even this behavior seemed a little short-sighted, he just smiled bitterly and couldn't bury his grievances.
"Or, after reading the list, let's go see him together?"
The proposal of the conflict of the eldest grandson.
Immediately, however, many people followed.
However, at this time, more people were nervous, thinking about whether they could go to high school.
When they met Chen Zhengtai, the eldest grandson Chong and Fang Yiai did not twist, and gave Chen Zhengtai a proper teacher salute.
In fact, Chen Zhengtai has too many protégés to remember so many people. It's just Changsun Chong, he still has some impressions, looking at this guy's docile appearance now, he only bowed his head and nodded towards Changsun Chong, at this time, it seems a little embarrassing to meet, it's better not to say anything.
Fortunately, it was uncomfortable for a while, and after a while, the list finally began.
The specifications of this list are even no less than the previous list of imperial examinations.
One by one, the officials came out one after another, and then ...... Start posting lists.
Chen Zhengtai was actually a little anxious, because he also attached great importance to this exam, but he didn't know how many people in the school could get on the list.
So he suddenly came up with a plan and shouted: "Everyone who sees his name in the hall of Erpigou University shouts." ”
"Yes, Master!" The sentient beings agreed with a bang.
This immediately attracted the sideways glances of many people.
It's Erpigou University Hall again, it's really ...... It's not modest at all, it's to make the people in the school shout when they see their names.
Someone couldn't help but show a little mockery, and joked: "How many people can be hit in Erpigou, but wait and see." ”
It's all a joke.
However, after this person finished speaking, he suddenly came to his senses, and suddenly remembered that Chen Zhengtai seemed to be here, so in the spirit of preventing being beaten, he quickly closed his mouth and immediately disappeared into the crowd.
It's just that here, it's like a boiling vegetable market.
There are almost more than 3,000 candidates, more than half of whom came, plus there are all kinds of relatives, so it is crowded.
The people who are pressed by the black, and the countless eyes are all staring at the first list that was posted.
This first list is also marked with numbers, starting from 173 and ending at 73.
That is, this is the last hundred lists that made it.
As a result, people began to anxiously search for their names on the list.
It's just that...... For the vast majority of people, it is a little disappointed.
But...... The other side is different.
Around Chen Zhengtai, someone took the lead and said: "Master, the student has been selected." ”
"Master, the student has also been hit."
"Master ......"
One after another, they began to chant.
One after another.
The speakers had a palpable joy in their voices.
Even if some people are not highly ranked, they may only win more than 170 people, how many people dream of fame?
The eldest grandson stared straight at the list, looking at them one by one, but the more he looked, the more anxious he became.
Especially in my ears, many classmates kept chanting.
This made him doubly stressed.
If your classmates don't win, then it may not be your own problem.
But the classmates around him have gone to high school, and there is only one left that he doesn't have, which is another matter.
He felt that all of a sudden, he was a little cold and a little ashamed.
Even, when he saw the number ninety-seven, he actually saw a familiar name.
The eldest grandson shook his body, and looked at those three words half-loudly, Fang Yiai!
Fang Yi's love was also won.
And it's within a hundred.
This is extremely shocking for Changsun Chong.
Because he knows very well who Changsun Chong is, and this guy is the youngest in the academy, if it weren't for the identity of his companion, in fact, at this age, he would not be eligible to enroll.
Fang Yiai is very likely to be the youngest talent in the world, and the ranking is not low.
Changsun Chong's whole person looked a little sluggish, and the apprehension in his heart was a little stronger, so he hurriedly continued to look at the list, but no matter how he looked at it, he didn't see his name.
It's just that the Erpigou University Hall has finally attracted everyone's attention.
In this first list, there were 100 people, and there were 60 or 70 of the reports they heard.
Someone with a heart noticed that something was wrong, and he was already silently counting in his heart, and this count was already gone.
How is it possible, the first hundred in the back are almost about to wrap up the Erpigou University Hall.
When everyone was shocked and stunned, the second list was also hung out.
This is a list from first to seventy-four.
This time, people subconsciously want to see who the name is.
As a result, countless people looked up and looked at the top of the list in anticipation.
Then...... A name that most people are not familiar with, but Changsun Chong is very familiar with, suddenly appeared.
Deng Jian!
Deng Jian ranked first in the Yongzhou state exam, and Yongzhou has the most candidates and the highest difficulty, which means that ...... This man named Deng Jian ......
Awesome...... Deng Jian......
Eldest Sun Chong was suddenly dizzy, seeing Deng Jian's name, he was both relieved and even more anxious.
He muttered in his mouth: "Deng Jian, come and see, come and see, you are the first in high school." ”
Can be ...... immediately He suddenly felt empty in his heart, because he suddenly remembered that Deng Jian was not by his side, and he didn't come today.
