Ji Ning thought to himself: "10,000 taels of silver, you can directly choose a county, and even where you can choose the county, so much silver, only Tang Xie has such a handiwork!" Before Tang Xie directly shot three thousand taels, that was five people, and they could be local tyrants in Tianxianglou, which made Tianxianglou stutter, and now for 10,000 taels, they can go sideways in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion in the capital. ”

Nalan Fuxue didn't have much concept of how much money was, she was still thinking about how much 10,000 taels of silver was, she felt that Ji Ning could spend 20,000 taels of silver for a Liu Ru, and that 10,000 taels really couldn't be called how much it was.

When a few people arrived outside the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, they thought that there would not be many people here, but when they arrived, they realized that there was also a sea of people outside the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

But this time, there are few people who come to see the list, and there are many people who join in the fun, many people do not come with a blessing mentality, but want to see if there is anything greasy in it, or to see if they are not in the jinshi, which "wine bags and rice bags" are in the jinshi, find the problems of the imperial court, and then report to the imperial court.

Scholars are restless, no one wants to admit that their knowledge is inferior to others, and there are very few people who are self-aware in these years.

Taking advantage of the period before the palace test list, several people were also waiting in a corner, after all, there were too many people waiting for the list in front, and a few people didn't want to go up too congested.

Tang explained: "Yongning, in fact, in my opinion, if you are elected by the imperial court, it is also the most suitable to be a local scholar first, and after a few more years of training, after coming out, you can be appointed as the local prefect, it is better to slowly mix up from the prefect." As for being able to stay in the capital, it's also good, but it's more difficult to choose the officials of the six departments, and when the time comes, look at the Temple of Literature where you go to Yongning, and the three of us will meet together, how about it? ”

Ji Ning smiled: "You can even choose where to be an official?" ”

"The selection of the Confucian Temple, naturally, there is no way to choose, there is no gap to follow over there, but the imperial court ...... Hehe, there are always some loopholes of one kind or another, Yongning, let's do it, Ziqian and I will go in the direction you selected, and we don't plan to stay in the capital, after all, there are too many powerful people in the capital, so we might as well go to the local government to become officials. At that time, we will be in the middle of the court, I will be the local magistrate, the public will be the local scholar, and you will be the bachelor of the local Confucian Temple...... The three of us friends can still work together locally, right? Han Yu looked forward to the future in the future.

Ji Ning thought for a while, shook his head slightly, and said, "Everything is still fate!" ”

Ji Ning didn't want to have too much contact with Tang Xie and Han Yu in the officialdom, since he entered the Temple of Literature, it was to avoid the glitz of officialdom, as long as he had a net worth and status, after completing the goal of killing Zhang Hong, he could build his own house with peace of mind.

What he needed was a woman who could run the house for him as his wife.

He needs a few more beautiful concubines to embellish his life, so that he can live a life of hugging left and right.

As for the number of concubines, the more the better, and there is no need to limit it to the framework of three wives and four concubines, there are beauties, and they must be collected in their own backyard and raised to appreciate themselves, for this reason, he must have a social status, step by step in the Temple of Literature to improve his knowledge and literary name, moreover, he also needs a large amount of money to ensure the quality of life, he can buy a large number of fields, as a unique landowner, can do some business, and ensure that he has no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime or even several lifetimes.

His goal is simple, so simple that it makes people think that this is his life after retirement, but he just puts the attitude of the second life so indifferently.

……

……

Until noon, several people were still waiting, but unfortunately the Ministry of Rites had not released the list, and it seemed that there was a jam on the issue of the list.

Tang Xie sent a small servant to check it, and then said: "Yongning, Gongtai, it seems that there is some trouble in releasing the list this time, the Ministry of Rites does not seem to have gotten the list of the imperial court, and I have heard it before, and there is no news from the Confucian Temple that is even closer!" ”

Han Yu asked, "Do you know what's going on?" ”

Tang Xie shook his head and said: "There is no way to know, but based on the current situation, it seems that the marking of the palace examination is not as easy as the examination marking, after all, the number of hall examination marking officers is there, and how many excellent grades can be obtained in an examination paper is likely to be flat, and there seems to be some trouble in ranking the rankings." After an exam, so many people who score equally need to be finally agreed to draw up the final results, and in the end, it will inevitably delay some time! ”

"It's really anxious, seeing that the imperial examination has reached the last step, but it is still dragging on, I hope that the palace examination will go smoothly, if you can win a second-class jinshi, even if you can be an ancestor manifestation!" Han Yu said.

In Ji Ning's opinion, Tang Xie and Han Yu said that they had no idea about the final results, but they were enterprising, how could they have no hope at all?

The results of the two in the examination are not very bad, ranking one hundred and thirty or forty, if they are lucky, and the performance of the palace examination is a little better, it is very likely that they will be at the end of the second class jinshi, and even the first class jinshi is not completely impossible.

The test of the essay is easy to be handy in an article, and if it is well written, the results are naturally good.

"Find a teahouse and wait, and have some lunch by the way!" Tang explained.

A few people went in the direction of a wine shop that was one street away from the Ministry of Rites, but Tang Xie was prepared and booked all the seats in advance, so that there were seats.

When going upstairs, Nalan Chuixue nervously pulled Ji Ning and said, "Your position as a jinshi won't be a problem, right?" ”

"Oh, that's not for sure!" Ji Ning smiled.

"Hmph, if you can't get into the Jinshi, how can you help me avenge? Nalan blowing snow will be a little angry.

She had never experienced the release of the imperial examination, and Ji Ning found that she was even more nervous than herself, perhaps because of her position as a jinshi this time, which had a profound impact on Nalan Chuixue's future revenge plan, so that Nalan Chuixue was in a high degree of mental tension.

As soon as a few people sat down, and before the food came up, they heard someone outside shouting: "Hurry, it's time to release the list!" ”

Many of the candidates were eating, and when they heard the news, they almost ran out of the street and ran in the direction of the hall of the Ministry of Rites.

Tang Xie and Han Yu couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts, and stood up, but found that Ji Ning was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai side, and the two of them were a little embarrassed.

"Go slowly, just keep your mind normal!" Ji Ning said.

"Yes." Tang explained, "The night of candles in the cave room, when the title of the gold list, there are two major events in life, if you can be named on the gold list today, then your life will be perfect!" ”
