"Get out of the way, get out of the way, let them make a show."

"Don't squeeze, eh, you're stepping on me."

"Stand back, step back, brother in the back, don't push it."

Several scribes walked out, and when they saw the yellow paper they were holding, they all wanted to run up and grab it to watch, but under the interception of the military guards, everyone had to give way and walk away, hanging their hearts, holding their guts, waiting for the final result, success or failure, just now.

Under the block of the military guards, a few scribes came to the foot of the wide city wall leisurely, not in a hurry, quite enjoying this feeling of attention, and colleagues laughed a few words, then slowly picked up the brush, dipped it in paste, and brushed it on the wall a few times, but the scribe next to him did not dare to be arbitrary, took out the list, and carefully pasted it.

"Come out, am there me?"

Suddenly, it can be said that the crowd is excited, everyone rushed to squeeze in, if it weren't for a few guards to see that the situation was not good, copy out the guys, form a military formation, in the face of the cold light flickering soldiers, everyone did not dare to make a time, stopped, stared.

"Don't argue, everyone, this is the purpose of the Daojuke!"

A sharp-eyed scholar shouted, and when everyone heard the sound, most of them fell silent, only a small handful of scholars, with nervousness, squeezed forward, but unfortunately, although it was not their own subject, no one was willing to move out of the way.

"Brother in front, bother to help read the name on the list." After squeezing for a long time to no avail, a wise man finally called out, his voice trembling, and he knew that he was in a restless mood.

Raising his hand, the scholars in front of him are also willing to give a helping hand and accumulate a good fate, looking at the top of the list at the moment, and shouting: "Everyone be quiet, I want to read, Shangzhou Xueshan, Jinzhou Liusi ......"

Hearing the shouts of the scholars in front of them, everyone gradually quieted down, although there was still a little buzz below, but they could barely hear it clearly, one by one the names came, and they naturally didn't care about anything that had nothing to do with it, but the scholars who participated in the Daoju exam, the reaction was strange.

"I got it, I really got it?" Ecstatic, I couldn't believe it.

"Brother Tai, please read it again, who were you talking about just now?" I didn't hear it clearly, and I was anxious about whether it was me or not.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter, I expected it before, I'll come back next year."

There are also those who are indifferent, the appearance of all beings in the imperial examination varies from person to person, and naturally there is no similarity, especially some scholars, looking forward to it again and again, disappointed again and again, and finally finding that the person in front of them finished reading, or there is no themselves, some people's faces are pale, some people sigh in frustration, and some people can't accept it, jumping to their feet and scolding...... The second list was posted, and the people in front hurriedly shifted their positions, and the scholars who participated in the Daoju examination hurriedly rushed up, and those who won the list confirmed that they were on the list, and those who did not win naturally did not give up, and they had to witness it with their own eyes.

Other lists have been announced one after another, the situation is rough, the cycle repeats, most of the scholars are destined to be helpless, only a few lucky ones, stayed, full of spring breeze, smiles, extremely proud.

Fifty lists, posted all the way, quite impressive, the next, but the last Jinshi list, the largest number of references, the most fierce competition, the least number of admissions, the most glorious scenery, can be described as the top priority, at the moment of the list, everyone gathered, and even the side and irrelevant passers-by came to see the excitement.

At this time, Qian Feng could no longer maintain normalcy, his hands were clasped in his sleeves, his forehead was faintly sweating, he was holding his breath and concentrating, his heartbeat became extremely fast, and his nervous emotions spread all over his body, making him nervous.

Infected by it, Han Rui was also a little worried, although he tried his best, he felt that Qian Feng should not have a problem taking the Jinshi exam, but the world is unpredictable, who knows if there are any accidents in the process, so he has prepared two sets of coping plans in his heart, if he wins, don't say anything, just congratulate, if he doesn't win, how to comfort him is also a problem.

"Twenty-one Lang, you have good eyesight, help me look carefully." Qian Feng said softly, trying to keep his eyes open, paying attention to the scribe's every move, and his heart was beating suddenly, as if he was about to burst out.

"There is no problem, relieved, it will not be missed." Han Rui naturally responded, their luck was good, they took advantage of the terrain, ranked ahead, and could see the results as soon as possible.

When Han Rui persuaded him, several scribes had already posted the list, and left the wall with interest, thirty-seven names, with their origins, erected and written, at first glance, some dense, Han Rui Dingqing stared, Qian Feng had already snorted, grabbed his wrist tightly, looked excited, excited, and said incoherently: "Look, that... That...... I ......"

Han Rui looked at the situation, the names of Zhang San and Li Si came into view, none of them were familiar, why didn't they see a celebrity, forget it, now is not the time to think about this, his eyes continued to move, and finally in the third column after the end, he saw Qian Feng's name, Yangzhou Qianfeng, it should be him.

Relieved, Han Rui was sincerely happy, showed a bright smile, and congratulated: "Congratulations to the third brother for getting his wish, high school jinshi, it can really be said that no one has heard of it for ten years, and he has become famous all over the world in one fell swoop." ”

Hearing the conversation between the two, others naturally understood, and they all cast envious glances at Qian Feng, and at the same time felt that Han Rui's words, although a little biased, but also had a certain truth.

In front of everyone's eyes, Qian Feng did not show any unbearable, suppressed the excitement in his heart, thanked him, and then looked at the list, it was on the list, it was not an illusion, and immediately pulled Han Rui to retreat and go home to report the good news.

After getting into the carriage, Qian Feng immediately revealed his surname, and said with a smirk: "I was hit, I really got it, I didn't expect it." ”

Suspiciously, Han Rui stretched out his finger and poked his head, trying to react, not wanting Qian Feng to not move, still smirking on his face, Han Rui sighed: "Poor, most of them are crazy." ”

"The third brother is happy today, you can slander it as you want, and I don't care about you." Qian Feng said with a smile, his eyebrows and eyes smiling, like a flower.

It's okay, Han Rui smiled, returned to the house, and when he heard the news, everyone must have been thunderous, and several plates of firecrackers were released in a row, and the crackling sound came out for several miles, which was extraordinarily lively. Naturally, there was a feast next, and everyone toasted one after another, and it didn't take long for Qian Feng to be paralyzed, happily hugging the wine jar, and he was cute.

"This kid doesn't know moderation." Zheng complained, called two three servants, carried Qian Feng back to the room to rest.

"You have to practice more, in the next few days, I heard that there are a lot of wine banquets, and they are easily poured and make people laugh." Qian Xu smiled and said, his son is out of breath, and as a father, his heart must be extremely relaxed.

The banquet was very enjoyable, Han Rui was in a good mood, but because he had something to do, he left before he fell, and came to Zheng's mansion, because he pushed Gu Yin's house, he had to continue to live there, and expanded the scope of the search, and after looking for a lot, he never found a suitable house, this result, the happiest of them is naturally Cui's, who can meet Zheng Nao every day, and I wish the two of them lived for a long time, how could there be any complaints, but Han Rui felt awkward.

It's really not good, the one in the photo, simply smashed a lot of money, I don't believe that someone is not moved, Han Rui pondered, came to the exquisite attic, saw his figure, and immediately greeted him.

"Lang Jun is back." Painting the screen to salute softly, sensing the smell of wine on Han Rui's body, he hurriedly brought warm water, handed over a towel, wiped his face, changed his clothes, and was busy, like a well-behaved little daughter-in-law, Han Rui enjoyed it comfortably, hummed a few times from time to time, expressing satisfaction, and unconsciously, he had become corrupt and degenerate, and became a vicious feudal bureaucratic landlord, which made people envious, jealous and hateful.

After being neat and tidy, his body was dry, and he hugged the pretty and delicate beauties, Han Rui asked, "What about them?" ”

"I went out with my wife to incense." Huaping said, curled up in Han Rui's arms, with a shy smile on his little face.

"Oh, hehe, the third brother has been admitted to the Jinshi, and he said that he is free, prepare a few gifts, and everyone will go to celebrate him." Han Rui said with a smile: "I'll go to Yezhi tonight, and I guess I won't be able to come back until I have a child, you guys should rest early, you don't have to wait for me." ”

The painting screen nodded softly, suddenly ran away, left Han Rui's embrace, walked behind the screen, took a bag out, and said with a sweet smile: "Lang Jun, these things are prepared by the lady, and the night is hard, let you take them to pass the loneliness." ”

Han Rui took the baggage, opened it and watched, it was all snacks such as candy and pastries, he smiled at the moment, kept it warm with the painting screen for a while, looked at the hour, and set off.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a system of night shifts, called night straight, like Zhongshu, Menxia, Shangshu three provinces, such a key department, lest there be a major event, generally the minister is on duty, and the secretary and other official offices, there is no special situation, by the low-level officials night straight, the number of Jingjing, to deal with things.

There are not many officials in the secretary and supervision, except for a few chief officers, it happens to be once every half a month, and the two are on duty, Han Rui's luck is good, it is arranged in the first half of the night, and there is no need to stay up all night, but after going back to sleep for a few hours, you have to get up and go to work, which is quite hard, anyway, for everyone, going to the night shift is a kind of torment, there is no difference.

When I arrived at the imperial city, the sky darkened, with the tooth card, Han Rui came to the secretary and supervisor unimpeded, the official office was deserted, only two or three scribes stayed behind, and after a visit, they retreated, Han Rui naturally stayed, lit a green lantern, and began a long and boring night, and finished the backlog of things yesterday, looked at the hourglass, and found that it was only the beginning of the time, and the time for the future was more than seven o'clock in the evening, when will it be midnight.

Reluctantly read the books and eliminated a few cakes, Han Rui was a little irritable, mainly because it was too quiet outside, with high walls, only a few lanterns hung, a few dark clouds floating in the sky, covering the moon and stars, the night was dark, the wind blew, and some strange sounds loomed, and the atmosphere was terrifying.

Be calm, be calm, Han Rui admonished himself, and picked the wick with his hand, making the light brighter, and the figure reflected on the wall of the house, which seemed more secluded, especially the movement outside, for a while, for a while, quite rhythmic, as if it was ......
