Li Dongyang looked at this handwriting, and there were indeed many similarities with his regular script, and then looked at the candidate's answer to the question, and his thinking was quite meticulous and sophisticated.

Except for the third question "Four Sons' Attainments", which was not answered, the rest were answered.

Not surprisingly, it's the current branch of the Yuan.

"Let's copy the list!" Li Dongyang ordered the examiners to open the seal of the answer sheet and copy the names on the red paper.

The subordinate officials of the Ministry of Rites wrote down their names on the paper, and Li Dongyang suddenly remembered Yan Chengjin's kid, who also borrowed a book case from the official, if he didn't do well in the exam, he would not be spared!

Today's list,

Yan Chengjin urged He Neng early in the morning: "Hurry up, you won't be able to occupy a good position for a while!" ”

Last time the township trial list was released, the young master didn't ask, and he understood the yuan in the same way, how could he not be puzzled: "Young master, why do we want to go to see the list?" ”

Yan Chengjin looked at him like a fool: "If you don't look at the list, how do you know if you will be on the list?" ”

How can he pouted speechlessly, didn't he take a fancy to understand Yuan in the township test.

Last time it was completely prepared, but this time it was not completely prepared, of course Yan Chengjin wanted to take a look.

The Gongyuan is very lively, before the list, several strings of firecrackers were burned, and the green smoke rose, implying that the green clouds went straight up.

There are three layers inside and outside the tribute courtyard, which is surrounded by water.

He stayed in the house all the time, rarely went out, and almost no one saw him.

The world only knows that the son of the great literati Yingkesong is called Yan Chengjin, but they don't know that he is Yan Chengjin.

"Oops, who smashed me!" A scholar in the front row touched his head and cried out bitterly, and found that there was a hard thing on the scarf, silver! Immediately surprised: "Do you dare to smash it again?" If you don't kill me, you will lose! ”

Suddenly, out of nowhere, another big ingot of silver flew in.

With an oops, the scholar was instantly knocked unconscious, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

"Silver!"

"If you have silver, pick it up!"

The crowd was in chaos, and the people in the front row rushed to the back to grab the silver, and Yan Chengjin took advantage of the situation to go to the bottom of the list and occupy the most advantageous position.

As soon as the gong sounded, the scribe of the household department came out to post the first list.

People who lack concentration have already urinated out.

Yan Chengjin's face was as usual, in such a tense atmosphere, different people would have different degrees of weird behavior, and peeing was already light.

There is even a smell of the smell of Dagong.

"Jiangnan's Xiucai, under Tang Bohu is Feng Xi, this time Huiyuan should be Brother Feng Xi."

"In my opinion, Brother Lun Wenxu is not bad, both of them are possible."

Feng Xi is a native of Nanzhili, and Lun Wenxu is a person from Guangdong, although Nanzhili Xie Yuan and Tang Bohu were demoted to officials, but still no one is optimistic about Beizhili.

The big red paper posted by the household officials is completely listed in the first, second, and third grades.

Looking down the first name, the first name is............

Yan Chengjin!

There was a dead silence at the top of the list.

"Who is Yan Chengjin?"

"It seems to be Xie Yuan of Beizhili?"

A person next to him suddenly shouted: "Mr. Ying's son!" ”

Yan Chengjin's face darkened, it turned out that he had no sense of existence, and he was recognized because of who was the son.

"Born in a scholarly family, even if he is generally talented, with Mr. Ying teaching from the side, it will be different, everything is fate, and it is not up to anyone at all."

The scholars nodded their heads and felt reasonable, very envious of a father like Mr. Ying, with such a father, the sow can also pass the exam, right?

In Beijing, he has never heard of Yan Chengjin's name, but he has two yuan in a row, what is it if his father is not a great literati who teaches him well?

The scholars whose ranking is not as good as Yan Chengjin are envious and sigh that Yan Chengjin won the Huiyuan and was completely influenced by Yan Kesong's literary shadow.

Yan Chengjin didn't say a word, and secretly felt funny in his heart.

I think I am also working very hard, even if there is a great writer father, I don't work hard to write the answer sheet, and I have checked it a hundred times, how can I get the exam?

You still have to reflect a lot, if you have a literati father, can you really be admitted to Huiyuan.

"Brother, you don't have to be too sad." The scholars who fell off the list on the side saw Yan Chengjin and felt a little sympathetic.

The scholar on the side saw that his face was extremely bad, and he must have been connected with the same disease, so he comforted him: "Who let you not have a good baby, don't cry, some things are destined, when you are born, there is something, it is difficult to find it without this life, and it is useless for you to cry." ”

Yan Chengjin is very sincere: "This brother Tai is reasonable, he is not talented in the next, on this list, if you think about it carefully, you should belong to the category that you were born with." ”

The scholars were stunned???

What are you doing with a black face when you get hit! The scholar who had comforted Yan Chengjin before felt a cramp in his heart, and he cried out.

Back in the house,

If his father was there, he would have held a banquet and invited him to have a drink in the same year, but he planned to celebrate a little and not make a big noise.

He Neng said: "Tell the cook, today in the Yan Mansion, one roast chicken per person, and then give one or two silver rewards." ”

He Neng's mood instantly changed from the excitement of the young master taking the Huiyuan exam to a little heartache.

That's a lot of money thrown today!

"Young master, the running chickens in the house, the longest is August and two days, and the shortest is January, which batch will be slaughtered?"

The so-called August and 2 days means that these chickens insisted on running every day for eight months and two days.

A month of running chicken is to insist on running for a month.

"Of course it's slaughtered for a month!"

Up and down the Yan Mansion, everyone was happy, and one person was given a fragrant roast chicken and two taels of silver.

The most important thing is that the young master has been admitted to Huiyuan!

Wang Yue learned in the house that Yan Chengjin had passed the Huiyuan exam, and came to congratulate him, and the gatekeeper was munching on a roast chicken, and he couldn't help but be tempted, so he exchanged a dozen copper plates for a chicken leg.

Eat deliciously.

Not to mention, Wang Yue has never eaten such fragrant roast chicken.

"It's really a cold cry, the virtuous nephew will be in high school, but no one will come to celebrate, hum! These dogs look at people low, but don't worry, the old man came to celebrate the virtuous nephew, your father is on the border, and he hasn't received the news yet, the old man celebrated for him first, this double moon falls on the black frost mutton fat white jade, which is the old man's congratulatory gift, what kind of expression is this nephew, the old man really just likes to give gifts! ”

The color of this pair of mutton fat and white jade is not fake, but Yan Chengjin didn't answer: "Lord Wang dares to say, isn't it because the student won the Huiyuan, and my father is holding a heavy army on the border?" ”

Wang Yue smiled: "The old man naturally dares to say that compared with those who don't give gifts and ask their nephews to do things, the old man is very conscientious."

A few days ago, when Cheng Minzheng left Beijing, the old man had the cheekiness to ask him for advice, and he said that all the works were derived from some manuscripts obtained in the dream of the virtuous nephew? ”

Yan Chengjin: "............"

Forbidden City, Fengtian Temple.

Emperor Hongzhi has always attached great importance to the selection of scholars, and now because of the question, there are vacancies in the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Procuratorate, so they discuss new candidates in the warm pavilion.

Liu Jian said: "The ministers of Zhejiang are the imperial inspectors of Jiang Ying, and his people abide by the public service, and the official reputation in the Jiangnan area is very good, and it is very suitable for the Ministry of Rites to be the official of Beijing." ”

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian glanced at each other, and Liu Gong was about to recommend his fellow villagers again.

When it comes to recommendations, Liu Jian always gives priority to his fellow countrymen, if he is not upright, he would really be a little suspicious.

And this Jiang Ying is a fellow villager with Liu Chengcheng.

Emperor Hongzhi showed a skeptical look: "But how did I hear that there was a flood in Jiangnan in June last year, and the people had no food to eat, Jiang Ying hid and did not report, and the locust plague in September was hidden and not reported, Liu Gong should not be deceived by the reputation of miscommunication, I feel that not only can I not recommend it, but also pursue the responsibility for his negligence." ”

Liu Jian was shocked: "The old minister is negligent. ”

Emperor Hongzhi remembered this spring, it is better to cultivate from this spring, this time to take scholars, are all new seedlings of the imperial court: "How about taking scholars in spring?" ”

Li Dongyang said: "The Huiyuan of this spring festival is Yan Chengjin, the son of Yan Kesong, who has won two yuan, and is quite knowledgeable and talented, but he is just ......."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Just what? ”

"It's just that this son's temperament is very different from his father, his father can dare to fight, erudite, iron-clad, this son is obviously very talented, but cautious and timid, cowering, even if it is an official, it is difficult to make a difference, it is said that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, ministers see, the old saying is not all right."

Emperor Hongzhi's old face was a little unbearable, and he suddenly felt that Li Dongyang was talking about him, wasn't he like this, giving birth to such a thing as Zhu Houzhao?

"Ahem...... As the old saying goes, there is still a point, Li Gong is too worried, I look at him, he can still edit books in the Hanlin Academy, useful, useful! ”
