On August 30, Jia Rui and Hu Xingshan returned to Jinling.

The next day was the day of the list, and when they arrived, the two came to the gate of the Gongyuan.

In front of the huge torii, many people have gathered. They are all waiting for that exciting moment.

If you pass the township test, you will be lifted.

If you lift people, you are qualified to be called a master, and one foot has already stepped into officialdom. In terms of social class, it has suddenly raised a notch, and the future is promising.

"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming."

"Ah, it's finally here, God forbid, you must call me on the list."

The crowd immediately stirred.

A group of soldiers came out, several people pulling a huge list, another person holding a brush and paste, and finally pasted the list on the wall.

"First place Xie Yuan, Ma Fushan."

"Is Ma Fushan here? Who is Ma Fushan? ”

Some people inquired one after another.

"Ma Fushan, Ma Fushan, wake up, you're all right. You won the first place Xie Yuan. ”

Then he saw a man fall to the ground, and two people beside him were shaking him vigorously.

It turned out that this Ma Fushan was so happy that he fainted.

"Hahaha...... I also won, sixth place."

Hu Xingshan jumped up suddenly, and when he landed, he stepped on Jia Rui's feet.

"Brother, it's good to be hit, but don't step on my feet, it hurts."

"Hehe, Brother Rui, isn't that happy. What about you? Let's see if you've hit it? ”

"You can win, if I don't win, won't I go to jump into the river? Twelfth. ”

"Hey, twelfth place, Jia Rui, really hit? Well, rejoicing together. ”

While the two were talking, Chen Wenxiang squeezed over.

"Congratulations, congratulations, you've all won, okay. Go back to the inn quickly, and the good news will go after a while, and I can't find us, I can't get the reward, and I'm afraid I'm going to curse. ”

"Sir, have you also been hit?"

"Hehe, look at it, the twenty-second, Chen Wenxiang, is a contemptible person."

Jia Rui saw that it was really twenty-two.

Two two, this old guy is really enough two.

He said that he would definitely be able to win this time, but he really didn't brag.

Looking at Hu Xingshan again, Jia Rui suddenly felt that something was wrong.

These two guys seem to be cheating, how did I make friends with these two scum.

Looking at the depressed appearance of the unsuccessful candidates, some even cried, Jia Rui's mood couldn't help but be a little complicated.

Alas, some people are happy and some are sad, and some people base their own joy on the pain of others. This world.

When the three of them walked back, seeing Jia Rui sullen, Chen Wenxiang gave Hu Xingshan a look.

Hu Xingshan patted Jia Rui on the shoulder.

"Brother Rui, don't be sad for others. I'll admit that I did something wrong. But. I don't do my hands, others will do too. If you can't be on the list, you still can't be on the list. ”

"Brother Hu doesn't need to explain, I'm not here for this."

"That's good, that's good. Brother Rui thought so, and I was relieved. ”

Hu Xingshan actually cared very much in his heart, he was worried that Jia Rui would look down on him because of this.

"Rui Xiaoyou, this time I'm waiting for the Beijing Normal Meeting next year, and then we will be admitted to the Jinshi together."

Chen Wenxiang said.

"Are you really going to take the test?"

"Of course, next year will be the emperor's 40th birthday, and I, a ninety-eight-year-old birthday star, will participate in the examination, do you think the emperor will be unhappy?"

"Yes, the emperor must be happy, then ....... Hey? No, aren't you eighty-eight years old? Why will you be 98 years old next year? ”

Ten years older in a year, is it because of my bad memory, or is your arithmetic bad?

"Be quiet."

Chen Wenxiang pulled Jia Rui and Hu Xingshan aside, and his face became serious.

"Tianxiang, don't you think. Did I cheat this time? ”

Isn't it?

You've been helping others cheat all your life, and this time you'll be able to learn well?

"I'll tell you the truth, I really didn't cheat at all this time. If you want to talk about cheating, it's also them cheating. Whether I'm cheating or not, I'm going to get hit this time, understand? ”

What about your tongue twisters.

"I don't understand."

"Well, I'll tell you the truth. My age was changed by them, and they needed a person. Do you know what my table is? Shou Peng, Shou Bi Peng Zu. Got it? ”

This time Jarry understood.

Next year is the emperor's 40th birthday, and the emperor's birthday is a few days after the meeting.

This time, the chief examiner Xu Daozhong discussed with other examiners and changed Chen Wenxiang's age to 98 years old.

His word is Shou Peng, which is an auspicious rui.

Therefore, even if he didn't cheat this time, Chen Wenxiang was decided.

Not only that, when he went to the capital to take the exam next year, Ying Tianfu not only gave him money to pay for him, but also gave him a reward of one hundred taels of silver.

The purpose of them doing this is to make the emperor happy.

There is still this kind of operation, and I am really convinced.

By the time I got back to the inn, it was already bustling.

Naturally, Zhongju was very happy and celebrated with each other.

The people who have fallen behind have already begun to pack their bags and leave Jinling to go home.

Looking at the faces of the beings in front of him, Jia Rui also had mixed feelings in his heart.

Alas, forget it, we can't take care of other people's affairs, so let's take care of ourselves.

Anyway, I can explain this time, and I can explain it when I go back. It will also be of great benefit to myself in the future.

After a while, the gong sounded, and the annunciator came.

Jia Rui, Hu Xingshan, and Chen Wenxiang rewarded 900 yuan each.

"Come, have a drink, and have a good celebration."

Hu Xingshan had already prepared the wine and food, and he didn't eat in the morning, just waiting for this moment.

Hu Xingshan pulled Jia Rui and Chen Wenxiang and ate wine together.

There are even some people who are in the middle of the lift, and they ran to the Qinhuai River as soon as possible to find courtesans to celebrate.

There is also a Ningrong Street in Jinling.

In the middle of Ning Rong Street, there are two huge mansions. To the east is Ningguofu, and to the west is Rongguofu.

The Ningrong Second Mansion occupies half of the entire Ningrong Street.

Around the two mansions are the twelve rooms left by the Jia family in Jinling.

In the easternmost part of Ning Rong Street, there is also a large mansion.

Although it does not have the scale and momentum of Ning Rong Second Mansion, it is also spectacular enough.

The house was built last year, and it is much more popular than the two old houses.

At this time, Jia Fang and Jia You were drinking tea in the house.

Jia Fang and Jia You are the descendants of the cousins of Jia Yan and Jia Yuan, the first generation of Ningguo Gong and Rongguo Gong Jia Yuan, respectively.

Jia Hu of Jiajiaying in Wangjiang County is the cousin of Jia Yan and Jia Yuan, and in terms of blood relationship, Jia Hu is closer than their two cousins.

But Jia Hu is a concubine, and the two cousins are concubines, so in the eyes of Rongning Erfu, the status of Jia Fang and Jia You is higher than that of Jia Yan's three brothers.

It is precisely because of this that after the two prefectures moved north, the property left in Jinling was handed over to Jia Fang and Jia You to take care of.

Jia Fang and Jia You were chatting when there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums outside.

When the two of them came out to take a look, they saw a team of people coming to report the good news.

"Your lord Jia Rui High School should be the twelfth in Tianfu Township. Annunciation King Bridge. ”

Immediately, a piece of good news was posted on the wall.

Jia Fang and Jia You were stunned for a while, and then came to their senses.

"It turns out that Jia Rui is in the middle."

"yes, I didn't expect him to really be hit."

"Alas, come on, reward."

This annunciator Wang Qiao is also a person with a heart, and after reporting the good news at the inn, he came here again to report it, the purpose of which is to ask for more reward.

Whether they want to or not, so many people are present at this time, and Jia Rui is the Jia family, so the two have no choice but to give rewards.

"Alas, this Jia Rui, the shelf is not small, I have been in Jinling for so long, and I haven't said that I came here, it seems that he didn't take us seriously."

Jia Fang said.

"Didn't Jia Lian say it, this Jia Rui is very difficult to entangle. Lin Ruhai's aftermath was manipulated by him. What now? Shall we intervene? ”

Jia You felt a little tricky.

"Didn't Jia Yucun send an invitation to the Luming Banquet, and if you participate in the Luming Banquet tomorrow, you will naturally see it. Hmph, I want to see who this Jia Rui is! ”
