Chapter 50 Talents are Everywhere

After the imperial examination, the talented people everywhere were admitted to the examination, and those who were not admitted were too far away.

These people suddenly made the capital a lot more lively, and the places after the imperial examination, the restaurants everywhere, became the places they often go, or to drink alone, or to get drunk with three or five friends.

Rich people are naturally easy to say, and they can spend as much as they want, but there are not many people in the family who have money, and even poor people, after asking back a few times, find that they can't wait for the arrival of next year if they don't want to think of a way.

Whenever this time, there are always people who go to various mansions to post posts, wanting to be masters for the people in the mansions, and no matter how bad they are, they can become a staff member.

But there are too many people in this year's imperial examination, only a small number of people have obtained such positions, and the rest have no other way but to write letters to people, copy books or something.

More people will go to Goolan and other places to help chant two poems, eat and play for nothing, and maybe get the appreciation of those Qinglou girls and give them some money.

But if the poem is not written well, then no one cares, and the thin-skinned ones try to make a living, and the thick-skinned ones follow the side of the rich talents, helping to grind the ink, handing the pen, and waiting for others to write it, and then touting it.

There are also those who have nothing to do with thin skin, but the rich son does this kind of thing for the poor family, admiring talent, and some people have a good conversation, regardless of wealth or poverty, eating, drinking, and lodging together, talking about the big and small scriptures, and talking about poetry.

All this shows the full range of life, joy and melancholy are intertwined, and life is repeated in these things.

At such a time, Zhang Xiaobao was busy dealing with the people of the boat company and still had time to calculate the matter, and the Zhang family made another move.

On Suzaku Street, when the sun was just showing its head in the morning, a procession appeared, the whole team consisted of twenty cars, and large signs were erected on both sides of the carts that were originally pulling goods, and the signs had big characters written on them, which were not for ordinary illiterate people, but for those talented people.

Therefore, the words are written about the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, and there are some landscape paintings, accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, walking slowly from this end to the other end, twenty-two cars are lined up, and it is difficult not to attract attention.

The people looked at them with astonishment, and did not know how to read, so they could only inquire, and the man who could read began to speak to the people next to him.

"Xiaoqing, this time you heard that you took the second class of the scripture called it, and read it to your aunt, what is written? It's weird and beautiful. ”

In the capital, when the team walked through the West Market and passed in front of her, she asked a person who was sitting in front of the window to eat, this person was twenty-five or sixteen years old, and he took the Ming Jing Department this year, and he took it, and the position was a bit backward, but there was still an official from the eighth grade.

People who have known him in the past will be more respectful when they see him now, only the female shopkeeper in this store, what was it before, what is it now, Xiaoqing screamed one by one, but he didn't feel angry at all, all the money he spent studying over the years was given by this female shopkeeper, and he couldn't help with only one mother at home.

If it weren't for this female shopkeeper, he wouldn't talk about reading, even if he didn't starve to death, even if he was lucky, he didn't want to and didn't dare to have any disrespect to the female shopkeeper, and when he heard the question, he said respectfully:

"Auntie, this is for some students, saying that Huayuan County and Sanshui County are going to hold a competition, inviting talents from all places to come over, you can help Huayuan County, you can also help Sanshui County, whichever side wins more, which side will get the first prize of this competition.

This lottery is all the people on all sides, and there is everyone, the first can get a good lottery, and they are selected in turn, just like the imperial examination. ”

After saying this, the man stopped first and waited for the female shopkeeper to react.

"Oh~! So that's the case, so Xiaoqing, do you want to go? What's in the jackpots? The female shopkeeper looked at Xiao Qing and asked.

"Starting after ten days, all students, as long as they take out their own paperwork, they can take a boat without spending money, and the meals will be managed by the two counties for a few days, first say which county to help, and then get on the boat of which county, I will ask in a while, if I have any errands in ten days, I can't go, if not, I can go to see.

Caitou is valuable, the first of a single person, a set of four first-class treasures of Zizhuxuan's study, fifty pieces of silver, that everyone has, it is also a set of four treasures of Zizhuxuan's study, but it is the last class, and the other silver money is consistent. ”

Xiaoqing explained in detail, he was also a little tempted, and felt that it was better to compare than to stay in the capital and mess around, and it was not far away.

The female shopkeeper nodded, and then asked, "Then what else is going on?" ”

"There is also the fact that the two counties recruit masters at the same time, only until next year's imperial examination, according to the different professors, you can get 40 to 100 yuan per month, and the food and lodging are managed by Zhang Wang's two Zhuangzi, and there is meat for one meal a day, and there is a holiday every ten years."

Xiaoqing explained another thing, he didn't care about this, those who can't make a living should think about it.

"Zhang Wang's two Zhuangzi? But what about the Zhang and Wang families in Sanshui County? "The female shopkeeper doesn't pay so much attention to other things, but she knows about these two Zhuangzi.

Xiaoqing nodded, "It's those two Zhuangzi, if they are replaced by someone else, no one will believe it, but what those two Zhuangzi said is naturally not ordinary, it seems that some people like me have a place to go now, no matter what, eating and sleeping are no big deal." ”

Xiaoqing is right, now there are a lot of students on the street who have spent their money and don't know what to do are ready to go to the two counties to do things, of course, they also want to participate in a competition, choose a chance, as long as they stand on the right team, then there is consistent money.

This is not a small amount for them, and when they wait to become a master again, they will save the money and spend this year carefree, and they can come to take the imperial examination again next year.

In addition to these people who want to find something to do, those who are wealthy also want to participate, not for that reward, fame, if they are remembered, they will have some fame in the future, otherwise why do they have to invite others to dinner? Drinking all day long, drinking headaches, not just to have a fame.

The movement of gongs and drums is not small, even if someone who returned with a hangover last night, as long as they are on both sides of Suzaku Street, they will be woken up.

Some officials' mansions are also here, hearing the chaotic sound outside, let the people in the mansion go to check, and the people waiting to come back said that it was a matter of two counties, and it also involved the two families of Zhang Wang, many people thought that this matter had not appeared, and only a few people complained twice.

There are also some people who praise this matter, these people are basically dedicated to the country and the people, and they know what it contains, and the down-and-out students can finally be more stable.

In addition to the attention of these students, there are also some businessmen and people who lack manpower in the house, and the businessmen want to go to the place where the competition is played, and it is better to sell something, if not, they may be able to find a talented person and marry their daughter out of the house.

The lack of manpower at home is naturally the family that can't judge the posts sent by so many students, they don't look for people, it's not that they don't want people, they just don't know what their talents are? Those posts may have been written by someone else.

At this time, I knew that there was going to be a competition, and the people who were sent out to the family one after another, countless students, as long as they competed, naturally knew which one could do and which one did not, and then recruited again, even if it cost more.

This is also the goal that Zhang Xiaobao wants to achieve, so that more people pay attention to the two counties.

He and Wang Juan have now set off, taking a boat, heading towards Xiaoluoshui, today is the second day of those merchants living in the first house in Linshui, quickly pass the news back and forth, after all, it will delay some time, it is better to go in person.

The two of them set off from the wharf in Huayuan County by boat, and they didn't receive much attention on the way to Shuiyunjian, but when they arrived at Shuiyunjian, when the people there saw the two rice seedling flags on the boat, they directly sent a boat to greet them.

"This is the real home, on this one-third of an acre of land, finally don't worry." Wang Juan saw the boat coming over and said reassuringly.

"That's right, when we get here, it's our home field, and further ahead, the people on the ship will have peace of mind." Zhang Xiaobao also relaxed, looked at the restaurants, and waved vigorously at the oncoming boat.

Immediately there was a chorus of greetings from the boat.

When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's boat and the boat that came out of Shui Yunjian converged, Shui Yunjian Restaurant could see the rooms in this place, as long as there were people, they were all moved.

It's such a big shelf, even the escort boat of the waiting master is surrounded by it, and the bow of a small broken ship is just two little babies, which has alarmed so many people, and there are even shopkeepers of various restaurants on the ship that welcomes them.

People who know the situation can only sigh at the power of the Zhang and Wang families here, and if they don't know, they will ask the guy, and the guy's answer is simple, the little son and the little lady of the main family are above, and the people who hear it will know who the master is as long as they are not stupid.

After waiting for the restaurant in Shuiyunjian, when Zhang Xiaobao looked at his home again, he found that it was different from when he left, it was really as he thought at the beginning, making people see a pastoral scenery, and the two of them only learned about it in the letter, and they really didn't see it with their own eyes.

"If it weren't for my father's urging too much, I would go back and live for two days, play with the children in the Zhuangzi for a while, and when I move in the future, I must bring them all with me, and look comfortable."

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were not ready to be low-key at this time, and the people from the main family came over, not only majestic, but also a kind of recognition here.
