Chapter 155: Release
Yang Tingjian took out a silver ticket with a denomination of ten taels from his body and handed it to Huang Sulang's hand:
"Everyone is the same year, please accept this kindness to help Brother Huang tide over the difficulties."
Huang Sulang is really so poor that he has no choice, he came to participate in the examination this time, he took the "bus" of the imperial court on the road, and ate the wild vegetable buns that the family had managed to squeeze out, even so, there were only more than ten wild vegetable buns, and it had been two months since he entered Beijing to take the exam, and he did not starve to death Huang Sulang, thanks to his identity and cheekiness.
Huang Sulang gratefully took the silver ticket handed to him by Yang Tingjian, and once again bowed to Yang Tingjian and said:
"Brother Tai, I don't dare to say anything else, but I am not afraid of offending dignitaries and nobles, as long as Brother Tai needs it, just respond to it."
All right! This Huang Sulang is that the stones in the pit are smelly and hard, otherwise he would not be at the point where he was about to beg. Is such a person useless? No, the right talent is put in the right position, and it will shine.
Huang Sulang originally wanted to ask Yang Tingjian's name, but suddenly, three more lifters came to Yang Tingjian's table, and they had no place, but these three people were all wearing fine silk robes, with valuable jade pendants hanging around their waists, and huge gem-inlaid gold rings on their fingers.
These three lifters also noticed that the owner of this table was Yang Tingjian, and it is estimated that they also saw that Huang Sulang had a seat with Yang Tingjian, so the owner of this house should be a very talkative year.
The three of them walked in front of Yang Tingjian. also bowed to Yang Tingjian first, and then reported his name in turn:
"This brother, I am Hu Tu, the son of Yangzhou Mansion...... This is the son of Suzhou Mansion...... This is the efficient ...... of Quanzhou Mansion The three of us have no place for them. I also ask my brother to allow me to set up a table, and this table of wine and food will be considered on the head of a certain person. ”
Yang Tingjian was still very comfortable when he heard the front, but the latter sentence was unpleasant, if it weren't for the fact that everyone was in the same year, Yang Tingjian couldn't help but slap it over, and if there was a few stinky money, he dared to show off in front of Lao Tzu, and he couldn't kill your turtle son.
Yang Tingjian held back his anger. He pointed three times to the sky with his right hand, then three times to the ground, and then pointed to the stairs not far away. Yang Tingjian then stopped talking. Began to shout out the window on the square.
Hu Tu, Cheng Quan, and Gao Rong looked at each other, and they couldn't understand what Yang Tingjian meant, and even Zhang Pu and Wu Weiye didn't understand what Yang Tingjian meant. (Meaning to get out)
Seeing Yang Tingjian's unhappy face, the three of them probably said the wrong thing. All three of them were wealthy families in business. Hu Tu's family is a salt merchant in Yangzhou, and Chengquan's family is a big businessman in Suzhou, mainly engaged in silk, tea and porcelain, and it is the kind that goes overseas, and the efficient family is a famous maritime merchant in Quanzhou Yuegang, and there are more than 50 sea ships at home.
Because these three people often have business contacts at home and have a good relationship with each other, they will come to see the list together. The three of them did not have the fame of raising people, but the prisoners of the country. And the qualifications of this prison student are also bought with money, who makes the family rich.
As for their family's identity as businessmen, they can't take the imperial examination, this is the end of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they have money, they can't change their household registration, it's a piece of cake.
These three people are not good at studying, but they are good at business, and they are also the eldest sons in the family, and they will inherit the family business in the future, otherwise their family will not pay so much attention to cultivating them.
Cheng Quanyi saw Yang Tingjian's face, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow to Yang Tingjian, and said with a smile:
"This brother, it's all my presumptuousness, and I ask my brother to forgive me, and I also ask my brother to see that for the sake of the same year, let me wait for a table."
In fact, Cheng Quanquan didn't understand what Yang Tingjian meant by pointing to the sky and pointing to the stairs, he, the son of a merchant, was especially good at observing words and feelings, and he could also see the wind and rudder.
All right! Yang Tingjian is not a person with a small belly, and then glanced at the three of them, these three people did not understand what they meant, and continued to beg for a table with a cheeky face, Yang Tingjian did not insist, but nodded, and agreed to the three of them to stay and set up a table.
After the three of them sat down, they thanked Yang Tingjian again, the children of these three businessmen, at least in terms of etiquette, are still very in place, I think this is also the family tradition of businessmen! These three people are completely different from the poor sour Huang Sulang, Huang Sulang is so poor that he is about to eat, and he still looks like a sour and rotten scholar.
Just when the three of them were about to ask Yang Tingjian's name, the person who was watching the list below suddenly let out a cheer:
"It's on the list...... Don't crowd ...... My shoes!! ”
The lifters and all kinds of followers who were watching the list below instantly became agitated, and the square was crowded, and a few people were three or four thousand people crowded there, but fortunately, there were countless soldiers on the side of the square to maintain order, and those who kept surging were quiet.
The door of the Gongyuan was unlocked, and a fellow examiner, escorted by several soldiers, walked out, holding a yellow piece of paper in his hand, and the men who were gathered in front of the sign consciously parted and gave way to the road:
"Xin Weike will start the trial list."
A soldier immediately knelt down and took the gold list from the examiner with both hands and posted it on the notice board below.
"Feng Jiazhen, Sun Zhizhuo, Gu Yi ......"
The people closest to the gold list read the list aloud together, especially those who reported the good news, and they jumped up and down actively, once they knew the list, they quickly beat the gong and drum to report the good news and get the reward.
Only then did a gold list come out, and there were only sixty fellow jinshi on it. The following lifts are all congratulatory voices at this time, and they didn't cry bitterly, and after the gold list is over, it will be a variety of life.
"Haha...... Middle...... Finish...... Hahaha......"
"Come on, Brother Liu is in a demonic obstacle."
Once people suddenly feel joy and sorrow, they are prone to enter a state of magic and hysteria, this situation has been in the past, in the face of this situation, it is the person who came to see the list to come forward and hug the crazy lifter, and then give him a few slaps, and wake people up with a slap.
This method is simple and effective, and the person who has been slapped will have a special banquet afterwards to thank him for helping him drive away the demon barrier. This kind of complete hysteria, if not stopped in time, will kill people, and will also cause confusion in the crowd watching the list, causing a stampede.
The list was released from the final ranking, and a little while another fellow examiner came out holding a piece of yellow paper in both hands, and repeated the ceremony just now.
The scene below is even more popular, and the sound of reading the list of tributes is also very loud, Yang Tingjian can clearly hear the restaurant where they are, Yang Tingjian now understands why this position is so popular.
