Autumn has always heralded harvest, and it was originally the most happy and happy day of the year. However, for four years in a row, I don't know what is going on, the Yellow River is actually making trouble every year, this summer for two months in a row is not stopped, countless people's crops and houses are all in the soup, many places in Henan are so flooded that even the land boundary can not be found, what harvest can we talk about?

Even if it is a large family's grange, most of them have no harvest, let alone a small family that lives on a few acres of thin fields. As for the more unfortunate ones, there are those tenants who call the heavens and the earth unhealthy. However, although the taxes of the imperial court were reduced several times, they were not used after all, so I don't know how many people were displaced, let alone how many people were sold into slavery.

Except for the danger four years ago, Kaifeng City is finally safe. Since the fight 10 days ago, in order to avoid too many displaced people in the city, so Henan political envoy Si Xingwen Henan Province, not allowed to release the displaced people into the Kaifeng territory, Kaifeng City streets and alleys under the eaves did not appear overcrowded, but whitewashed a bit of prosperity.

This day is the day when the school year examination list of Kaifeng Prefecture is released, and there are countless people who stand in front of the wall of the list early in the morning and wait and see. Among them are ordinary students dressed in ordinary clothes, rich children in bright clothes, and many scholars dressed as servants. Ten years of hard study before he was admitted to Xiucai, if he fell to the sixth level, he would be deposed from the school, and he would lose his face.

Waiting at the front were four teenagers, and the two stout ones in the back blocked the crowd behind, and their pressure was getting bigger and bigger. Seeing that there were more and more people around him, the stout young man said angrily: "Third brother, I said that I should have waited for someone to deliver the letter at home, but you want to come out to see the list, how many people are there here?" Besides, isn't it Xiucai's annual exam, if you don't do well in the exam this time, you will take the exam next time! ”

"Er, you crow's mouth! What is not good in the test, if you want me to say, the third brother and Xiao Qi must be first-class and second-class! ”

These four teenagers are the three brothers of the Zhang family and Gu Bin. Seeing Zhang Chao's brothers glaring at each other, Zhang Yue couldn't help but smile, and then noticed that Gu Bin, who had always been cold, was clenching his fists, his face was also a little red, and he looked nervous. Thinking that he had passed the college examination after five levels and six generals, and it was easy to get a showman, he couldn't help but sigh depending on the results of the annual examination this time.

"It's on the list, it's on the list!"

With a burst of shouting, the crowd suddenly became a sensation. Seeing a few errand officers holding a roll of the list and pasting it on the wall, the crowd behind immediately squeezed forward desperately, which made the people in front suffer. Fortunately, Zhang Chao opened his fist and used his shoulders and backs to resist it, finally blocking the crowded crowd behind him.

"Xiao Qi is hit, second class sixth!"

"Hey, why didn't you see the name of the third brother?"

Zhang Yue listened to Zhang Chao's elated voice in his ears, but his eyes were rapidly sweeping from back to front. This is a habit he has developed in the past, and he has never been able to change it in this life. However, from the sixth and fifth ranks to the top, he didn't find his name, and he couldn't help but be surprised. At that moment, he suddenly heard another shout.

"Get out of the way! This first-class list hasn't been posted yet...... This scholar has to separate the first class from the others...... Gotta trouble again......"

The officer muttered, but the others didn't have time to listen, and all stared at the latest list with green eyes. At this age, the treatment of each class is different in the sixth class, and those who can go to the township test are only the first class and the second class. And the brothers of the Zhang family also stared at the latest list, and their eyes swept through it. When they saw the last name, the eyes of the group lit up.

"Third brother, you are really lucky, you actually happened to be in the last place in the first class, but you are still a first class!"

Zhang Yue was still looking at his name in a daze, and was suddenly awakened by a punch from behind. Turning his head and seeing Zhang Chao looking at him with a smile, he couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart, and was about to say something, when several other people next to him also gathered around. Zhang Qi, like Zhang Chao, also smashed a punch in his shoulder. Gu Bin showed a rare smile and said congratulations.

Zhang Chao knew that it was not a material for reading, he had been practicing martial arts hard for the past three years, and most of the books he read were the art of war, so he had long abandoned the path of the imperial examination. After all, their father is a military attaché, and there is also the British Gong Zhang Fu, the first military general of the Ming Dynasty, in the capital, so it will be easy to find a way to enter the army at that time. At this time, the two of them immediately laughed and joked beside them.

"Third brother, this time you and Xiao Qi took the exam, we will protect the whole process, you can't forget our hard work!"

"That's right, that's right, when I go back, my grandmother will be happy to give you a lot of good things, and don't forget to share with us when the time comes."

Zhang Yue himself was also very happy.

He has gained a lot in the past four years, one of which is to strengthen his body, and he is finally no longer a medicine jar for sick seedlings; The second is to follow Du Zhen to read a lot of books, pass the college examination once, not to mention the talent in hand, this time the annual exam is first-class, and you can go to the township test next year; The third is that Sanfang finally really raised his head at home, because his father Zhang Zhuo, a vain prisoner, was unexpectedly admitted to the examination the year before last; As for the fourth, it is his mother who has a body and wants to add a younger brother or sister to him.

"Okay, okay, the family must be in a hurry at this time, let's go back quickly!" He responded with a smile to Zhang Chao with two fists, and smiled at Gu Bin again, "Little Seventh Brother also hurry back to say hello to your cousin and aunt, knowing that you have passed the second-class exam, they must be overjoyed!" ”

At that moment, Zhang Chao opened his head and opened the way, followed by Zhang Yue and Gu Bin. It was easy to squeeze out of the crowd, and the four of them were all sweating profusely, and the clothes on their bodies were all crumpled and unshaped. Looking back at the surging crowd full of cheers and lamentations, Zhang Yue wiped his sweat with palpitations and said goodbye to Gu Bin again.

A few small men were waiting under the shade of the trees. Seeing the three young masters coming together, Lian Sheng ran up with a smoke, and the three of them were elated, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Come and say hello to the third young master, the young master must be the title of the gold list!" ”

Seeing seven or eight people rushing up and kowtowing to say hello, Zhang Yue closed the fan and knocked it heavily on Lian Sheng's shoulder, and scolded with a smile angrily: "It's just the annual exam of the students, what a gold list title!" This is on the street, not at home, what does it look like to be so swaggering! ”

Zhang Qi smiled, kicked two of them before he went up, and shouted: "Go home and make trouble, let you come out with you today, I can't treat you well, and you will be rewarded when you turn around!" ”

A small guy next to him couldn't help but complain: "The second young master also said, if the old lady knew that the third young master came out and didn't take a carriage or a sedan chair but rode a horse, the little ones would have to eat a hard meal!" ”

"Manly man, what kind of carriage and sedan chair do you sit, the third brother's body is not as good as before!"

Hearing such a sentence, Zhang Yue instinctively flashed to the side, just avoiding Zhang Chao's habitual slap. Seeing that the other party was standing there in a daze, he took the reins and turned over on the horse, and then sat on the back of the horse and smiled bitterly at Zhang Chao: "Big brother, even if I am a manly husband, I can't withstand the slap of your iron hand, hurry back, don't let the family wait!" ”

The group galloped home, and before they got off the horse at the gate, several men rushed up and said hello. Knowing that these people are the most observant, they must have seen the clues from their faces, Zhang Yue smiled and took out a large amount of copper coins from the money bag to reward, and then ran into it in a hurry, leaving Zhang Chao and Zhang Qi brothers behind. After passing the instrument gate, he saw several figures looking at the inner instrument gate from a distance, so he quickened his steps again.

"Young Master......"

Glancing at the anxious autumn marks on her face, Zhang Yue didn't care whether she understood it or not, stretched out her index finger and middle finger to make a V-shaped gesture of victory, and then showed a sunny smile. So, several little girls who had been waiting here for a long time cheered in unison and rushed towards the direction of the main house.

Looking at the appearance of the third young master, the results are good. The first one to announce the good news will be rewarded much more than others!
