Han Yu's ancestral home is Meishan County, Jinling Prefecture, and when the list is released, in order to avoid duplicate names, I am afraid that there are two people named Han Yu in Meishan County who will come to participate in the examination, and the affidavits of all the candidates will be listed when the good news is announced.

The so-called knot is basically to list the names of the three generations of a person's ancestors, the details of the teacher's inheritance, etc., and even provide a simple portrait to determine that the person who won the election is this person, because even if the candidate's name is the same, it is difficult to achieve complete overlap for others, and it can prevent the occurrence of good news and wrong people.

Han Yu suddenly won the tribute, the whole person was almost a little carried away, at this time he was almost crying with joy, although the ranking is not very high, but at least it is more than a hundred, if you wave well, there is still a chance to compete for the second-class jinshi in the palace examination, as long as it is a second-class jinshi, basically there is no need to worry about the distribution, even if you can't pass the Hanlin Academy or the bachelor of the Confucian Temple, you can also get an official vacancy from the seventh grade or more in one or two years, and put it in the locality, which is basically the county of the seventh grade.

"Master Han, congratulations to your high school tribute!" When the messenger who reported the good news saw Han Yu, he hurriedly complimented him, because it involved the question of how much reward he could get.

If the people who report the good news, if they are lucky, meet one or two "big rich people", they may be able to get a few taels or even a dozen taels of reward money at a time, if they are unlucky to meet a family background is not very good in the selection of tribute, they may only get a guaranteed reward, basically one or two silver, because these officials have to pay a part of the public after they go back, so they all hope to run back and forth a few more times in this kind of good news, and can get more rewards.

But if you're lucky, maybe it's a gift of one, and the income is higher than someone else's gift of ten.

And Han Yu is obviously such a "big customer".

Ji Ning and the others also stepped forward to congratulate, Han Yu sighed with emotion, thanked everyone one by one, he was embarrassed to be too excited, after all, everyone present was still waiting for the trial list, and now he was the only one who won the tribute, if the reaction was too intense, it would embarrass the few people next to him.

Even so, his performance was a bit "out of shape".

There were a few sarcastic voices of "old pedants" in the distance, but one of them said: "It's just a middle jinshi, the young man really can't hold his breath, there are only more than a hundred, what is he proud of?" ”

After this person finished speaking, many people next to him immediately followed, as if Han Yuzhong was a Jinshi was a common thing.

These people also completely forgot that they hadn't been admitted to the Jinshi several times, they were waiting here, and when they saw Han Yuzhong, they were still very envious and jealous.

"Gongtai, don't pay attention to them, you won the tribute, you got the opportunity to participate in the palace examination, you will be the Jinshi and the first in the future, we have to rely on you!" Tang Xie was very envious when he saw Han Yuzhong Gongshi, but he would show his envy on his face, because he was also happy that his friend could be a Gongshi.

The reason why Ji Ning has a good relationship with these people is mainly because Tang Xie and others have a common characteristic, that is, they treat their friends sincerely.

Han Yu said with a smile: "Ziqian should also be able to win the tribute, let's wait together!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard someone outside report the good news: "...... Tang Xie of Shangyuan County, Jinling Prefecture, has to try the 138th Gongshi! ”

When Tang Xie heard this, he almost didn't stand firm, and asked with trembling hands, "That...... Who's out there? ”

Han Yu laughed and said, "Brother Ziqian, why did I hear that name, it seems to be you?" ”

"Then I'm really going to go out and have a look!" Tang Xie didn't go to the window to ask, but went downstairs directly, and Leng Buding directly intercepted the good news.

Yacha said angrily: "Who didn't open his eyes, didn't see that this official was about to report the good news?" Delay things, hit you dozens of big boards! ”

If it was before, being so insulted by a yacha, Tang Xie and Han Yu would have been angry, but this time Han Yu smiled and said: "Don't look at who this is, you will hit dozens of boards, this is Tang Xie Tang Gongzi of Shangyuan County!" ”

"Yo! The villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, you are Tang Gongzi? Oops, this ...... Tang Gongzi, you ...... Would you like to show me the affidavit? The villain is timid, afraid that someone will come out and impersonate! In his opinion, it is more convenient to send it directly to the teahouse at the intersection of Jingzhaofu Road, so that he can go back and run more, and get a little more reward, which is more cost-effective than going to those places where it takes a long time to find someone to report the good news.

Waiting for Tang Xie to hand over his knot, Han Yu asked, "Are you literate?" ”

After reading it, the yacha said with a smile: "The villain is not very literate, but the basic knot can be understood, and none of the colleagues who came out today to report the good news are illiterate, and the villain is considered to be shallow in learning!" ”

After speaking, the yacha handed the good news to Tang Xie and said, "Master Tang, congratulations, please take your good news, do you want to invite relatives and friends to come and publicize it?" ”

When ordinary people encounter good news, they like to make things more public, it seems that they want the world to know that he won the Gongshi, that is, the future Jinshi, but Tang Xie and others are not too flamboyant people, even if they are flamboyant, this is also the capital, and there are not many people around who know each other.

"No need!" Tang Xie directly asked the little guy to come over, and asked the little guy to take out a hundred taels of silver to redeem the ticket, and said, "Take it, hurry up and report to the next one, we are still waiting to hear a few more good news!" ”

When the yacha saw the silver redemption ticket, he hurriedly pushed it back in fright, and said: "This old man Tang, you are tormenting the villain, the villain is humble, how can you use this kind of thing?" Besides, you have given too much money, just give a few pennies for wine! ”

Yacha is very sensible, he didn't dare to accept the cashier's bill, because he knew that the receipt of the bill would not be his own, and it would definitely be taken away by Shangguan, so it was better to ask for a little more silver, so that it was convenient to hide it privately.

He only said a few pennies, because he saw that Tang Xie was a cheerful person, and saying that a few pennies was just a pronoun, and everyone who understood knew that the reward for trying good news also needed at least one or two silver, which was also considered "hard money".

Tang Xie helped Han Yu out of a reward of ten taels of silver, and he didn't bring too much silver, so he could only let the little guy go to the nearest money village to exchange the silver, and after a while, the little guy came back with a hundred taels of silver, but the yacha still didn't dare to accept it, and finally reluctantly collected fifty taels, and the yacha went happily.

And Han Yu's side of the good news has been watching, he looked at Han Yu's eyes as if to say: "Since this Tang master has given fifty taels of silver, why can't you treat too much?" I was satisfied with the reward of ten taels of silver before, but now I think it is a little less! ”
