There are nine hours left, and I am nearly one hundred and fifty monthly passes behind the previous one, although the hope is already very slim, but I will do what I say, and the second chapter will be delivered as promised! I will never give up until the last moment, I hope you don't hesitate anymore, and turn the vote to support the icing on the cake of the great god into a vote to help me in the snow!

On the day of the trial release of the list, Xu Xun was still soaked in the barracks as usual, and did not go to see the excitement. Only Wang Shouren cares about his friends, but he doesn't go but he can't rest assured, it just so happened that Xu Liang sent Jin Liu to visit the class, so Xu Xun sent this overly clever guy to Gongyuan Street to see the list. Before noon, Jin Liu turned back, but he was holding a thick stack of paper in his hand.

"Young Master, the Zhan Gongzi and Yan Gongzi you asked me to inquire about have both won, and this is the list of the remaining three or four hundred tributes on the Apricot List of the current science and technology association."

Wang Shouren saw that Jin Liu stretched out his hand and handed over the pile of things, and his face suddenly became extremely strange. Seeing that Xu Xun took the things and handed them to himself without saying a word, he praised him: "I have always said that you are shrewd and capable, but I didn't expect that the servants in your family are also meticulous. Other people's families have exam-taking children, and at most they just inquire about whether they are in their own family or not, where is it like him, they are clearly just to inquire about the news, and they actually know to copy the entire apricot list back! ”

He couldn't say anything else, Brother Wang gave him the word clever, but he was right. In the past, he was full of news in Jinling, but now he is even more inferential. ”

Xu Xun saw that Jin Liu was smiling when he heard this, and thought that it was not wrong to bring this guy to Jingshi, so he sighed for a moment and said: "Tao Hong has gone back to Jinling, I have been single in and out these days, and some things are not convenient to do. You put aside the purchase for a while, go back and say to the master, and follow me for the next time. ”

If it had been left in the past, Jin Liu would have been willing to leave and buy such the most oily errand, but now he would not be so blind. Hearing this, he nodded and said yes, and when he saw that Xu Xun was speechless, he tiptoed back. As soon as he got outside, he clenched his fists and waved them, and then he grinned.

It's not in vain that he spent half a dozen dollars to help him copy the entire list of apricots for the test, and he has been delayed for a long time!

Wang Shouren finished reading the list, Xu Xun took it, as if he was casually sweeping from the beginning to the end, seeing that he really didn't see the name in Jiao Huangzhong, he was in a happy mood, but he said: "It seems that Brother Zhan's article is very appreciated by the examiners, and it is actually among the top ten, and Yan Song is also among the best, and when the time comes, the results of the two of them in the palace examination are only considerable." ”

Although it took less than half a month to get to know Zhan Ruoshui, Li Dongyang introduced that Wang Shouren was a person who had worked the study of his teacher Chen Xianzhang, and it can be said that he had been friends for a long time, and he had a natural expression at this time: "Zhan Yuanming has been studying hard for more than ten years after the middle move, which can be described as a thick accumulation and thin hair. And Zhang Yang and Zhang Yang are both everyone in the literary world, how can they not see his skills? Since it is the best in the examination, if you can make a big splash in the palace examination, the ranking will only be more advanced at that time. After all, after the palace examination, most of the elders look at the papers, and most of them want to see the ranking of the examination. ”

Xu Xun thought about Zhan Ruoshui's appearance when he kept saying that he would prefer to return to his hometown to teach, but he was very curious about what kind of expression this person would have when he faced those people who reported the good news. Only swept the apricot list in his hand, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar name, and actually read out thoughtfully: "Xu Zhenqing......"

"You've also heard of Suzhou Xuchang Valley?"

Xu Xun was told by Wang Shouren, and then he really remembered where he had seen this name. He remembered that when he first looked at the four talents in gold, he went to check the information because he thought Zhou Wenbin was interesting, and found that there was no such person among the real four talents, and the one who was really among the four talents was Xu Zhenqing, whom he had never heard of at all. At this time, he thought about it and naturally laughed: "He is one of the four famous talents of Wuzhong, how could I not have heard of it!" ”

"Speaking of the four great talents of Wuzhong, in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, I once met the famous Tang Xie Yuan Tang Bohu. If it weren't for the fictitious case of fraud in the imperial examination, maybe he would have been able to enter the department. Wang Shouren shook his head and sighed, then walked to Xu Xun's side and glanced at it, and said thoughtfully, "Looking at Xu Zhenqing's ranking now, the palace test is not allowed to enter the second class, and it should be the first of the four of them to enter the department." ”

The two of them looked at the critics of the Xingbang list, and the restaurant where Xu Xun and Wang Shouren once met Zhan Ruoshui Yan Song at the entrance of Xianggongyuan Street was also full of friends after the list was released. Not only was the ground floor tightly crowded, but the private rooms on the second floor were also full. Since most of the people who call friends on this list are the famous tributes, it is like a loud voice at one time, and there are countless laughter. Especially those who are at the top of the apricot list are naturally more popular.

So, when the group of three people entered the restaurant, a short man stepped forward and said with a smile: "Three guest officers, I'm really sorry, the shop is full." If you can wait, you may want to take a stroll outside, or have a cup of tea in front of you, or if you can't wait, you may wish to go somewhere else. ”

"At this time, the house is full, and I really can't find a place to sit." The eldest of the three shook his head and sighed, there was still a bit of lingering confusion on his face, and he looked into the restaurant to know that what this guy said was true, and immediately greeted the two companions and said, "It seems that if we want to celebrate Xiao Xu today, we have to change places." There are a total of so many restaurants and restaurants in this Gongyuan Street, and there are three or four hundred of them that can be examined, plus relatives and friends, it is not surprising that there is no land. ”

"Let's find another clean place, although we all love to be lively, this place is too noisy!"

The youngest of the three, the young man named Xiao Xu, nodded, and was about to come out of the store, when he saw a person from upstairs hurrying down, and in addition to the little guy, two or three others chased after him.

"Jiao Gongzi, Jiao Gongzi, don't go, everyone is just joking, no one is a hearted ......"

"Not intentionally?" Jiao Huang turned around and glanced at the people coldly, but he snorted coldly, "I thought it was terrible to barely hang the end of the list, and it seemed that when the time came, I would be able to win the champion in the palace test, and I wouldn't pee to see what kind of character I was!" Go back and tell them, don't think that you will be complacent if you will try to get on the list, even if you are really ranked first in the palace test, there are also champions who are not aspiring! ”

Jiao Huangzhong was full of ambition to go to the list with a few literary friends, but he suffered a setback that he didn't expect at all, and he was about to go home when he turned around, but unexpectedly, these acquaintances dragged him to this restaurant and said that he wanted to relax, but when he was drunk, he was ridiculed by a person on the list. At this moment, he put down his cruel words, ignored the few moves whose faces suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and strode out with a flick of his sleeves. When he arrived at the door, he saw that the three people in front of him happened to block the door, and he saw that the young man in the center had a dark complexion, triangular eyes, and a wide chin, and he didn't know why, so he shouted: "Ugly, get out of the way!" ”

Hearing the ugly words at first glance, Xu Zhenqing's face turned red for a while. He was a teenager, but it was the third time he could try. This time, it was easy to get the title of the apricot list, and although the two friends who came to take the exam together fell to Sun Shan again, they still insisted on congratulating him with wine, and he was very happy in his heart. At this moment, he blurted out almost without thinking about it: "Accusing the same column at the same time, hurting people at the exit, just rely on your family tutor, thanks to the two examiners' discernment, this is why you don't get in this subject!" ”

Jiao Huangzhong didn't expect that a casual scholar would dare to speak disrespectfully to him, and he was even more angry for a while, and when he was about to call someone, he remembered that because of his anger after reading the list just now, the little guy who accompanied him had been kicked out by himself. When he was about to ridicule him, his mind was full of anger at this time, and he couldn't refute a word for a while. And what made him even more angry was that he didn't know who took the lead in calling a good word in the restaurant, and it was a constant sound for a while.

"Good, good! I'll see how long your mouth can be sharp! ”

Jiao Huangzhong stared at Xu Zhenqing for a long time, as if he wanted to imprint this ugly appearance deeply in his heart, and then he left angrily. When he left, the first few people who came down looked at me, but they slipped away one by one without saying a word, only the last one who came down walked in front of Xu Zhenqing and arched his hand.

"This brother, I just made a fuss on the top, and the disagreement angered that Jiao Gongzi, and caused you an unwarranted disaster, I really can't help it. Brother Tai was in a hurry for a while, and his words were too heavy. That is the son of Jiao Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, you must know that even if you win the Jinshi, the pavilion selection will have to pass the level of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, which is very unfavorable to you. ”

Jiao Fang's son!

Zhu Zhishan and Wen Zhengming were all taken aback, but Xu Zhenqing was stunned for a moment, but said proudly: "As a child of the eunuch family, I have forgotten to be even the least polite, and my words are not exaggerated. As an important minister of the imperial court, Jiao Shilang is expected not to blame others for his son's arrogance and rudeness! ”

When the man saw Xu Zhenqing say this, he immediately arched his hand and left. At this time, the guy in the shop stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "Three guest officers, there should be a vacant seat above, you three ......."

"No need, let's go somewhere else!"

Zhu Zhishan is nearly twenty years older than Xu Zhenqing, after all, he is older, and he pulled Xu Zhenqing up and walked out without saying a word, while Wen Zhengming followed closely behind. It wasn't until he came out of the alley that Zhu Zhishan let go of Xu Zhenqing and said helplessly: "Xiao Xu, you are really ...... It's okay to scold that Jiao Fang's son, why bother saying the next sentence, you are so easy to get into the Jinshi, don't you want a future? That Jiao Fang heard that people have always hated Jiangnan people, and you still bumped into it! ”

"There are so many righteous men and gentlemen in the court, I don't believe that Jiao Fang can cover the sky with one hand!"

"You, you......" Wen Zhengming couldn't think of any good way to deal with this unwarranted disaster, so he could only shake his head, "That's it, take a step at a time, the horizontal and vertical hall test is not something that Jiao Fang can interfere with, as for the award...... It's more than enough to learn a little Hanlin with your talents, and it's good that it doesn't fall into his hands when the time comes. ”

Seeing that the three of them were talking while walking, they went up to Chongwenmenli Street after a while, and a passer-by looked like a person behind him stopped, leaned against the wall and looked at the backs of the three people, and muttered to himself: "That Jiao Huang Zhong is really the same as his Lao Tzu, so he likes to talk cruelly." Xu Zhenqing...... This young man looks a little cold, and he has some backbone. But if he is evil to the Jiao family, his future is really worrying! Yes, I still turned around and said to the prince of the world, although he is a small jinshi, maybe it will come in handy in the future, and the one who likes to pity the old and the poor the most, and loves to bully bullies the most......"
