The scholars didn't know that Chen Yingying regarded them all as laymen, and they were still happy to be able to drink in such a luxurious restaurant and enjoy the scenery of Qujiang Pond!

One by one, the scholars went upstairs, and Quan Shufang saw Li Rizhi at a glance, and he smiled: "Brother Li, it's very expensive here, I'm afraid we won't be able to get this wine money!" ”

Drinking in the Furong Building, even if everyone pools money, it is the same can't make up, of course, it's just that some scholars can't make it up, characters like Quan Shufang are distressed, but gritting his teeth, he can still get the wine money!

Li Rizhi smiled at everyone: "I can't take it either, how about we eat the overlord meal here, eat and drink enough, let's jump into the Qujiang Pond, swim and escape, it is estimated that the shopkeeper of the restaurant will not be able to catch so many of us!" ”

The scholars listened, laughed, everyone nodded, all said that this method is good, some of the scholars also grabbed the guys in the restaurant, asked the guys if they could swim, when they heard the guys say no, they applauded again, said that diving to escape the account, this plan is very wonderful!

The guy is not angry, anyway, the cost of the banquet is to find the Chen family's housekeeper to settle, and it has nothing to do with these scholars, they just let go of their belly and shake off their cheeks to eat and drink.

Li Ri knew: "The host of this banquet is Chen Gongzi, let's chat with her, she will be very happy!" As he spoke, he pointed at Chen Yingying.

Chen Yingying turned around and shook the fan in her hand at the scholars, and when the scholars saw that it was a female son, they hurriedly saluted together, and with Li Rizhi's words, they called Chen Yingying Chen Gongzi.

Li Rizhi looked at the scholars, and found that not only came to Zhengzhou, but also some scholars he didn't know, and asked Quan Shu to find out that it was a scholar from other states because he knew the first paper handed in by Zhao Jian, and said that he wanted to talk about the experience of the exam here, so he wanted to come to audit, of course, the feast in the Furong Building was also one of the purposes.

Li Rizhi hummed, anyway, he had chartered a whole floor, and it was no problem to sit a few hundred people, not to mention that there were only a few dozen people in front of him, he said: "Brother Zhao, why didn't he come with you?" ”

Quan Shufang spread his hands and said: "It was supposed to come together, but he hasn't returned to the Daoist Academy yet, we are afraid of delaying the time, and everyone is ready, so we didn't wait for him, but I told him in advance that as long as he returns to Chang'an, he can come directly to Furong Tower." ”

"He left Chang'an, where did he go?" Li Rizhi asked curiously, why did Zhao Jian leave Chang'an before the re-examination of the officials was held!

Quan Shufang lowered his voice and said: "Brother Zhao thinks that he will definitely be able to pass the exam, because he answered the paper well, after winning the Jinshi, it is inevitable that he will have to socialize, and the expenses required will increase, plus he still owes me a hundred yuan, and he wants to pay back the money, so he went to Liyang's relative's house, saying that he went to borrow money." ”

Li Rizhi frowned and said: "It's only a few days before the retest, even if you have confidence, you have to wait until after the retest, in case the retest passes, but the examiner says that he is not good-looking, then he can't get into the jinshi either!" ”

In this scientific examination, the one hosted by the Ministry of Rites is the examination article, which will eliminate most of the candidates, and then the re-examination of the Ministry of Officials is not so strict in terms of articles, but there is an interview.

The interview in this era is really based on the face, whether there are defects in the appearance, whether the facial features are correct or not, whether the speech and demeanor are decent, and even the height and body shape must be considered.

If you don't look good, then you will be said to be out of office, so you can't be an official, because of the fact that you judge people by their appearance, and they have also caused a lot of lives, but it doesn't matter, Datang lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of people who want to be officials, under the premise that the level of the article is about the same, since you can choose, of course you have to pick the good-looking ones!

Of course, there are policies and countermeasures, and many people who are not very handsome in appearance begin to grow beards, and if they have more beards, some defects can be blocked, but many people are also because they are old, so they have beards, and if the beard is very beautiful, it is also a very plus!

Listening to Li Rizhi's words, Quan Shufang smiled and said: "If you can pass the Ministry of Rites, then of course the officials are not sad, as for appearance, if you look at who has a beard, that is who has confidence." Well, I mean the new beards, the ones who are really old. ”

Li Rizhi touched his chin, he didn't have a beard, could it be that in the eyes of Quan Shufang, he didn't have confidence?

Because I don't know where Zhao Jian is now, so I can't ask someone to find him, so the scholars sit down first, and the fragrant tea and fruits are sent in the restaurant.

Quan Shufang and Li Rizhi sat next to each other, and he said: "Brother Li, I have asked a lot of people in the past few days, and everyone thinks that this exam question is very likely to be issued by Empress Wu, at least it is also approved by Empress Wu, there are rumors that Empress Wu is the same whether she is in the court or in the palace, but I don't know if it's true or not!" ”

Li Rizhi shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, I've thought about it, if I don't pass this subject, then I will take another subject, if I don't pass it, then I won't be admitted to the science department, if I open the criminal law department, then I will take this subject!" ”

Quan Shufang sighed, nodded and said: "If this subject is opened, then Brother Li will take the exam, it must be nine out of ten, maybe the whole subject, only you are a candidate, then it is difficult to think about it, if you want to take this subject, you must first be proficient in criminal law, who will study these ordinary scholars, no one will choose this subject at all!" ”

Li Rizhi hehe hey twice, this full beam can really not speak, he will be unlucky in the future, he will definitely be unlucky in this mouth! Hey, I think so, too!

On this day, the scholars ate, drank and chatted, and had a good time, no matter how well they did in the exam, whether they would pass the exam or not, in short, they were also considered to have feasted and drunk by the Qujiang Pool, and they had reached a careful wish, and this wine banquet was dispersed happily!

But until the end of the banquet, Zhao Jian didn't appear, no one knew why he didn't come, and there was nowhere to find it if he wanted to, but no one was worried about him, and even some cautious scholars thought that Zhao Jian didn't come on purpose, maybe he didn't bother to associate with them anymore, but he was a person who wanted to be a jinshi!

After the banquet, the scholars said to each other that they cherished each other, and when they returned to their residences, everyone knew in their hearts that after the list was released, it was really possible for everyone to go their separate ways, and it was not easy to meet again in the future.

Two days have passed, and it is time to release the list, this is a very important day, the night before, Li Rizhi didn't sleep all night, it was false to say that he was not nervous, he studied diligently since he was a child, studied hard, came to Chang'an to take the exam, how many twists and turns, the moment of deciding his fate, even if he had a big heart, he couldn't keep calm, and he couldn't sleep at all!

Before dawn, Li Rizhi got up, after freshening up, he didn't eat breakfast, stood in the yard, let go of his throat and shouted three times, dragging a long voice and shouting......

Then, the entire Chen family woke up!

Cheng Zizi came shirtless and shouted, "Senior brother, are you okay?" ”

Li Ri knew: "There is something, I want to go to see the list, junior brother accompany me!" ”

Cheng Zizi said twice, and immediately went back to the house to get dressed, and then Fu Guibao also ran shirtless, shouting: "Big brother, are you okay?" ”

Li Ri knew: "Something, I want to go to the list, Xiaojie will accompany me!" ”

Fu Guibao agreed again and again, and went back to the house to get dressed.

A moment later, Chen Yingying flew over, she was dressed neatly, and when she arrived, she shouted, "Rizhi, are you okay?" ”

Li Ri knew: "Something, I want to go to the thatched house, do you bring paper?" ”

Chen Yingying was stunned for a moment, first snorted, and then said, "Are you in a hurry?" ”

"Urgent, my stomach hurts badly!"

"Then you go first, I'll get you paper, there is one in the bamboo chip thatched house, you deal with the scratch first, if it doesn't work, use your hands!" Chen Yingying looked at Li Rizhi crookedly.

Li Rizhi had no choice but to say: "I want to go to the list, are you going to go with me?" ”

Chen Yingying nodded and said: "I have already instructed the housekeeper, even the horse is ready for you, you can ride when you go out, and there are servants waiting for the place where the list is released, in fact, you can go today or not, the servants will come back to report the news!" ”

Li Rizhi shook his head and said: "For such an important matter, of course I have to go in person, and I can't leave it to others!" ”

While talking, Cheng Zizi and Fu Guibao got dressed, ran over again, and the four of them converged, went out together, and rushed to the Ministry of Rites.

At this time, there were already hundreds of people standing in front of the gate of the Ministry of Rites, and some of the people who came earlier than Li Rizhi were all staring at the gate of the Ministry of Rites nervously, waiting for the release of the list to come out.

In fact, it is impossible to release the list at this time, at least until the people from the Ministry of Rites come to the yamen, before the list is released, it must be verified one last time, and in terms of time, it is estimated that the list can be released before noon.

There shouldn't be anyone who doesn't know about this, but everyone is just waiting here willingly, even if it's in vain.

The more people waited for them, and waited until the third pole of the day, there were at least seven or eight hundred people crowded at the entrance of the ceremonial department, and there were many people who were neither candidates nor family members of candidates who were also crowded in the crowd, stretching their necks, and I don't know what they were looking at.

Li Rizhi was tired of waiting, sighed, and said: "Let's go eat something first, I'm afraid that if I wait for a while, I'm not on the list, I don't have anything in my stomach, I'm tired and hungry, I'm afraid I'm going to fall off the horse!" ”

Fu Guibao and Cheng Zizi were also very nervous, but Chen Yingying was more nervous than them, so they almost recited Amitabha, and after listening to Li Rizhi's words, they left the entrance of the ceremonial department, found a soup cake shop nearby, went in and ordered a bowl of soup cakes, and ate and drank.

The four of them were not in the mood to speak, they ate silently, and after a short time, Li Rizhi wiped his mouth and was about to stand up and leave.

Suddenly, a person flew over from the avenue, this is a person who looks like an idler, he shouted as he ran: "Li Rizhi, who knows Li Rizhi, who knows where he lives?" ”

The four people in the soup cake shop stood up at the same time, looked outside the store, and Li Rizhi said loudly: "Li Rizhi...... Living in the south of the city, is it a list? ”

The idle man hummed and said, "Zhang Bang, Li Rizhi is the thirtieth place in the Shangshu Provincial Rite Department Examination, do you know where he lives, I want to run quickly to ask for a reward!" ”

When he said this, Li Rizhihu suddenly sat back on the stool, gasping for breath several times, a little dizzy, he had a hunch that he might win, but he didn't expect it to be the thirtieth, and the ranking was not bad.

Fu Guibao shouted: "If you want a reward, here's it, take it!" He took out a money bag from his bosom and threw it at the idler!

The idler caught the money bag, felt that the weight was extremely heavy, and when he opened it, it was shining with gold, and it was full of golden beans, I was afraid that there would be several taels!

The idle man rolled his eyes, and fainted to the ground in an instant, obediently, he thought that it would be a good thing to get a few dozen yuan, but he actually got several taels of gold, which made him embarrassed, not dizzy, unable to express the surging in his heart!

Cheng Zizi shouted: "Senior brother, you have passed the test, and you are the thirtieth!" ”

Li Rizhi gasped, raised his head and said, "It's not good, it's not good, I haven't passed the retest of the officials!" ”

Fu Guibao said: "The officials are better, big brother, based on your looks, it will definitely not be the thirtieth, it must be the first, the first beautiful man in the Tang Dynasty!" ”
