All the seals of the second and third grades were opened one by one, and all the names were filled in on the yellow list, and the task of the palace examination paper reading officer was completed, and naturally there was a banquet for the Wenhua Hall to read the paper for everyone. Compared with the previous ceremonial dinner, this meal is not exquisite, in general, it is just a lot of soup, pork and mutton are used more, a chicken is added, and there are two catties of marinated pork and mutton, and the rest is bland. When the officials reached the level of these dozen or so paper readers, although there were also those who were frugal and simple and had poor families, most of them didn't look down on the meal concocted by Guanglu Temple, but they just drank two sips of wine and moved the chopsticks twice.

Thinking that when I just opened the seal and filled in the list, when I filled in a certain ranking, a few companies were shocked and inexplicable, and a few people smiled, and many people had no appetite.

However, before the list was released, they had to stay in the Ministry of Rites for another night before they could go home, so as not to leak secrets. However, the system is dead, people are alive, even if the list has not yet been announced, most of the ministers can be careful not to disclose the ranking, but the current branch does not choose the Jishi, but they ordered people to send the news home as quickly as possible. Even if it was already night when each family received the news, and it was curfew, but this level of night curfew could stop the small people, not the high-ranking officials, and for a while, the messengers of each family ran around the streets, and from time to time they would take a photo on the street, but they all tacitly just sent it to the related households.

So much so that in the middle of the night, when Wang Fulin was in the middle of the night, he was awakened by a knock on the door. Bizhu in the outer room put on his clothes and went to open the door, and then shouted outside the door curtain: "It's someone sent by Wangfu, and there is an urgent handwritten letter from Wang Shilang." ”

In the middle of the night, tomorrow will be released, what news is worth Wang Daokun to send like this, and he refuses to wait until early in the morning?

Wang Fulin muttered in his heart, but finally turned over and got out of bed and pulled his shoes to the door. Seeing that Bizhu was empty-handed, he realized that the handwritten book was still in the messenger's hand, so he hurriedly asked Bizhu to call someone in. Seeing that the person who entered the house was the one who had gone back to serve in the past few days, he didn't bother to say anything, and directly reached out to take the letter sent by the other party, opened the seal and took out the letterhead to take a look. And he laughed.

"That's it? I thought it was some kind of cheating in the palace test, or a shocking case such as the leakage of the test questions, and I dared to love it for this. You go back and tell your uncle, you don't dare to ask for it, Lord Yuanfu is far-sighted and far-sighted, and this intention is deeply in my heart. Seeing that Qi Buping was still staring at his original words, obviously not very accustomed to this crepe word, he added. It means that I am very happy, not lost at all, and please sleep with peace of mind and don't worry about me. It's going to rain and the mother wants to get married, there's no way around it, it's better to sleep seriously! ”

Qi Buping can be regarded as understanding, secretly thinking that Wang Daokun was so angry and called Wang Daoguan and Wang Daohui brothers to discuss, Wang Fulin actually didn't care so much. It's really smacking. But he didn't know what the letter was about, so he hurried back to his life after saluting. Wang Fulin instructed Bizhu to close the door. When he returned to the back room with a yawn, he found that Xiaobei had already sat up, his face was full of sleep, but he didn't forget to ask, "What's the matter?" It doesn't seem to matter what you say, but why does my uncle seem to be in a hurry? ”

"It's nothing, I don't choose Shu Jishi in this department."

Wang Fulin kicked off his shoes and went to bed. Hearing a soft cry beside him, he said lazily: "There's nothing to worry about, the top three Tongjinshi want to choose Shu Jishi, it's already difficult to climb to the sky, besides." Uncle didn't enter the Jishi, Yin Zhengmao didn't enter the Jishi, your father and your father didn't enter the Jishi back then, everyone is a difficult brother in the top three, what do you want to do so much? Besides, Shu Jishi is known as the prime minister, but how many people are on the way to the end, and it is not that Shu Jishi cannot be chosen, and the Hanlin Academy will definitely not be able to enter. To be honest, I'm really afraid of having to choose the museum, how can I deal with my half-baked level at that time? If you want to transfer me to a place where I have to repair and copy books at every turn, I have to die of sorrow. Master Li was such a knowledgeable person back then, didn't he stay in the museum and let him out as the commander of Shanyin County? ”

Xiaobei was amused by Wang Fulin's tone of counting the elders and celebrities, thinking about it, a bunch of fathers and elders are all top three, and none of them entered Hanlin, except for my sister's father-in-law, that is, Cheng Naixuan's father-in-law, isn't it a good official? Of course, when Wang Fulin lay down, she still muttered in a low voice: "But people say that young people have high hopes of staying in the museum, such as Yang Ting and ...... back then."

"Yang Wenzhong is a young prodigy, and countless people have been optimistic about me since I was a child, who is optimistic about me? Everyone knows that I punch the three mountains, kick the four seas, and have a very good ability to cause trouble, but if you want to talk about the name, I am still far from your husband. You don't have to go to the museum to choose, it's really good. Of course, don't let it out as a county order, it didn't matter in the past, but under the test law, you have to let it out and fight with the wealthy family, and the small people have a hard top, I can thank you for not being sensitive. All my hard work was used up when I was assisting my father-in-law. ”

"I don't want to do that, no wonder my uncle said you were lazy." Xiaobei said this in his mouth, but he agreed in his heart. Since Wang Fulin wants to be lazy, then God willing, let him find a place to be lazy for a few years?

Early in the morning of the next day, Zhang Juzheng and Lv Tiaoyang went to the Zhongji Hall first, opened the first three seals, and filled in the top three of the first class that were vacant at the end of the yellow list. The three hundred and one tribute who had been waiting there for a long time were awakened by the messages from relatives and friends last night, but many more people have not yet had the opportunity to get the good news that may affect their lives. However, Huiyuan Sun Ying, who stood in the first place, did not have much to think about gains and losses. Even when the first and third places were announced, he found that he had no chance with them and lost the possibility of entering the Hanlin Academy immediately, he was still at ease.

He was lost for a while when he got the news last night, but he was relieved to think about it. Even if you choose a gentleman, will you definitely be able to enter the cabinet? If you can't, why do you want to do so much!

Later, those Jinshi who didn't know that this year's election was stopped when they heard that Sun Ying's ranking was the first in the second class, they all felt that this was already good. Historically, Huiyuan has rarely been able to win the top prize, but it can generally be in the top ten of the second class, Sun Ying's fourth place is already a very high ranking, after all, the top four represent the so-called Weike figures, not only when the transmission will be sung by the Honglu Temple officials again and again, but also introduced into the Huangji Hall to meet the Son of Heaven. As for the others, they only heard their rankings outside the main hall.

Everyone is priing up their ears to catch their ranking. They all hope that they can be among the top two. And Wang Fulin, who was extremely at the back of the seat, was there, and he was still a little sleepy, and he tried his best to suppress the urge to yawn, so as not to be caught by the official of the Honglu Temple. When he heard that there was still no self after the entire list of the top two was reported, he muttered in his heart.

That's what makes sense. It is already a blessing to be able to pass the examination, and then I hope for a good ranking, so how can another white-headed old jinshi live?

"First place in the top three. Wang Fulin. ”

Wang Fulin, who was thinking like this, was dumbfounded when he heard such a voice, and he was stunned for a moment before he remembered that he should be out of the ranks. At this moment, he doesn't need to look to know how much attention is focused on himself, but he himself is still ignorant, where does he know what's going on? If this is the top three, the second will not have such a collective attention treatment, after all, you must know that the first of the top three can also be regarded as a legend, but it is not as eye-catching as the first of the second class. Behind yourself. It would be a huge team of more than 200 fellow jinshi, why did he jump from the two hundred and seventy or eighty who could take the test to such a high position all of a sudden?

Who did this to you? Zhang Juzheng? No, his policy is definitely not a flower, as light as white water, it seems that at the end, he couldn't help but play a little Confucianism, but the reading of the official is not swept away, the beginning is not exciting enough and it is not a related household will not receive much attention?

Fortunately, there are already sixty or seventy people in front of him, and he is not standing out from the crowd. Then the names were pronounced, and it took him a while to remember to find an acquaintance. In the end, Chen Hejiao was missed, and Cheng Naixuan finally happily escaped the fate of hanging the bottom of the list, ranking 280, as for the other two, they were almost the same as before, only he made a huge leap. You don't have to think about it to know how many people will think that there is someone above him when they look back. won the favor of which examiner. After all, compared to the same examiner who will take the exam, the level of the examiner is too high.

After the royal precedent, Huang Bang was escorted out of the palace and hung outside the left gate of Chang'an. Some good deeds have already copied the yellow list with their hands and feet, and sent it to various inns to report the good news. In later generations, the so-called Sanjia Parade Street is not the case now, only the champion enjoys the treatment of the umbrella cover instrument escorted home, and as for the rest of the jinshi, they have to go back to their own homes. Wang Fulin, who was still a little dizzy, was surrounded by several Shexian Jinshi as soon as he left the palace, and Cheng Naixuan, who was most familiar with him, hooked his shoulders and said with a smile: "Shuangmu, you can do it, you will come back with a pass all of a sudden." ”

"It's the top three, thank you." Wang Fulin pushed back angrily, and then arched his hand at the others and said, "Don't look at me, I'm also confused now, so I don't know which boss's taste is right for the roll." ”

Maybe someone was jealous that Wang Fulin was so young but got such a high ranking, maybe someone happened to be annoyed because Jinke didn't choose Shu Jishi, he said this, and someone next to him sneered: "Is it great to be a third-class Chuanyi, anyway, it's the same Jinshi!" Not to mention the top three, even the second class is useless. This branch does not choose Shu Jishi, except for the first three who enter the Hanlin Academy, the others are the same regardless of their ranking, all of them are ready-to-use lives under the list! ”

At this moment, it was the peak period for Jinshi to leave the palace, and when he heard the news at first glance, many new Jinshi who learned the news early were silent, but more who had not heard of it were shocked and crowded over to inquire about the truth. As other insiders couldn't help but confirm the news again, it was like an earthquake, and it spread all over at once. Wang Fulin saw that the new jinshi who was open-mouthed finally realized that this was causing trouble, and his face turned pale in an instant, he didn't have the heart to comfort this guy who leaked secrets, so he beckoned to a few people in She County and told them to slip away first.

When they found a teahouse to sit in Dongjiang Mixiang, Chen Hejiao couldn't wait to open his mouth: "Brother Wang Xian, is it true?" ”

"It's true." Wang Fulin nodded calmly, and seeing that Cheng Naixuan also shrugged his shoulders, he said, "I just didn't expect that someone would shout on the spot for the sake of resentment, not to mention that he would fall away, at least he has an unruly reputation." I'm not a second-class heir, so I'm envious, jealous and hateful, as for it? ”

"How not? Shuangmu, you kid don't know, it is said that although your scroll does not have a few circles, you don't know how many scroll readers have pinched out the marks with their fingernails. ”

Nail pinching? Wang Fulin suddenly wondered even more, it's not Cixi, who is not very good at writing, so she has to pinch her fingernails to express her meaning, are those who read the papers? As for ranking him first in the top three, who did it? (To be continued......)
