Li Chuan first handed over the text list to the two catchers who had already painted the paste on the white wall, and the long scroll slowly unfolded, and then the two catchers were neatly pasted on the white wall.

"Mingyuan, haha, Mingyuan is really the top of the list!" The first to speak out was not the scholars who were still struggling to find their names on the list, but Guo Dongcheng, who was standing next to Li Chuanxian and carrying a gong.

"The first place in the college examination and the township examination, if you get another huiyuan and champion, Brother Yuan, you are really the leader of the world's scholars." Zhou Binjie said with a smile.

Zhao Qingliang and Feng Rui, who didn't have much hope for themselves, also smiled and said, "Congratulations to Brother Xu for winning the top spot." ”

The numb-faced scholar who was standing on the side listened to their words, his face became more and more ugly, his legs were weak, and he fell directly to the ground, and the family on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Zhou Binjie looked back at the Ma Tan scholar and said with a smile: "Little pock, your legs are weak so soon?" This is not good, Shuzhou City is not big, but if you really rely on your legs to run a lap, it is not a simple matter. ”

After the scholars in the audience were quiet for a moment, an uproar gradually rose, those who were not on the list beat their chests and feet, crying bitterly, and those on the list were also ecstatic and crying, but more were exclamations and gasps.

The older ones are mostly accompanied by their families, and they have not been on the list for so many years, but they are also prepared and leave calmly. Some young and vigorous young men who felt that they were talented and talented were already blocking Li Chuan and asking himself why he wrote a splendid article, but why his name fell to Sun Shan.

Li Chuanxian naturally didn't know what kind of splendid articles these young men had written, since they didn't make the list, what else was there to ask. Some people have already stretched out water and fire sticks to separate the crowd, so that Li Chuan can leave first.

Li Chuan first stopped and glanced around the crowd, as if he wanted to find someone, but this crowd was crowded, where could he find someone, looked back at the name on the top of the list, shook his head with a smile, and was quickly escorted into the yamen by the crowd.

The little guy of the rich family was already looking for those handsome men on the list in the crowd, but many people fell on Xu Mingyuan's body, but Zhou Binjie was by his side, so he didn't dare to step forward immediately, they all planned to wait and see first.

And some people who failed to make the list and were able to calm down at this time couldn't help but look in the direction of Xu Mingyuan and others. Xu Mingyuan can be said to be unknown, there have been many versions of the speculation of the people who were on the list in the original township test, most of them are Shuzhou talents, but I didn't expect Xu Mingyuan to kill Xu Mingyuan in the middle of the way and directly win the top spot, which can be described as extremely unexpected.

However, there were not many surprises among the other nine people on the list, all of whom were already well-known. There is no name of Liu Tangren on the list, he looked up at the list at this time, looking at the name of the top of the list, he was as stunned as a wooden chicken, and he couldn't accept it at all.

At this point, Xu Mingyuan was able to win the top spot, naturally because he had his talents, so everyone's attention fell on what happened before. Xu Mingyuan won the top spot, but the numb face scholar had to strip naked and run around Shuzhou City, although it was a bit of a bad taste, but it was indeed a lively thing.

was looked at by everyone like a monkey, and the numb face scholar also regretted it in his heart at this time, but with Zhou Binjie by his side, how could this matter be relied upon, I am afraid that even his father will force him to take off his clothes here.

Thinking of all this, the hemp face scholar also gritted his teeth, helped the family next to him to stand up, and arched his hand at Zhou Binjie and said, "Master Zhou, I hope to forgive me for polluting your eyes." After speaking, he stripped off his clothes in the surprised eyes of everyone, and wore a pair of brocade boots, and ran towards Beicheng, the white swaying fat trembled for a while, and everyone laughed.

Zhou Binjie, who was still thinking about whether to give him a set of demon boxing, didn't expect this pockmarked scholar to be so straightforward, and said with a smile: "This little pockmark is also refreshing, and you can let him have a drink when you have time in the future." ”

Xu Mingyuan also smiled, and before he could speak, a middle-aged scholar suddenly rushed out of the crowd, and said with a long smile: "What Xu Mingyuan, I, Liu Tangren, am the top of the list, and I am the top of the list!" After decades of hard study, I finally got to the top of the list! Dad, open your eyes and see, son, son is not a person who has no interest......" After speaking, he staggered and ran in the direction of Dongcheng, fell forward suddenly, hit his forehead on the ground, his head broke and bled out, and he staggered up again, and continued to run forward, already crazy.

Everyone looked at Liu Tangren's crazy back, and they all had relatives in their hearts, and they also dispersed.

Xu Mingyuan also sighed lightly, although Liu Tangren is not a good person, he is also a poor person, and now he is crazy, and he doesn't know who to blame. He looked at Zhao Qingliang and Feng Rui, who were slightly discouraged because they were not on the list, and said: "You two don't have to be discouraged, the new students of the academy will take the entrance exam in two days, and the two of you will go to the academy with me first, maybe I can get an exam quota for you." ”

"Thank you, Brother Xu." When the two of them heard this, they were all overjoyed, and they arched their hands and said in unison.

And those little guys also surrounded them, all of them were the few wealthy families in Shuzhou City, and they all euphemistically expressed the meaning of their masters. Xu Mingyuan is the top of the double list of the hospital examination and the township examination, although these little guys don't know a few words, they also know that this shows that Xu Mingyuan is the first person among the real Shuzhou readers.

Other scholars on the list may not be on the list when they reach the exam, but Xu Mingyuan, a person who can win the top spot in the academy examination, can at least be able to obtain the same Jinshi background over the years. Now making friends with a person who is very likely to get a Jinshi background is undoubtedly a very cost-effective deal.

Xu Mingyuan smiled and turned away the invitation of those little guys, if he really wanted him to marry the daughter of a rich businessman, he still couldn't accept it immediately.

The group got into Zhou Binjie's carriage, headed towards the academy, and entered the academy through the side gate of the academy. Xu Mingyuan took everyone into Tongyuan, today is the rest day of the academy, so Zeng Fuzi and Zeng Qingyi are here.

When Zhao Qingliang and Feng Rui saw Zeng Qingyi, they were a little stunned, where could they see such a beautiful woman in the countryside of their hometown. And Zhou Binjie was still afraid of Zeng Qingyi, so he was at the door, looking ready to run away at any time.

Xu Mingyuan talked about winning the top spot today, and also said that he recommended the two of them to take the college freshman entrance exam for two days. Regarding Xu Mingyuan's re-topping of the list, in fact, no one who knows each other is very surprised, which also makes Zhao Qingliang and Feng Rui can't help but look at Xu Mingyuan a little higher.

Zeng Fuzi knows Xu Mingyuan's temperament, and since he recommended it, it must not be much worse. However, after he took the exam carefully, he also asked the two of them to take the exam directly the day after tomorrow, as long as they passed, they could enter the academy.

Zhao Qingliang and Feng Rui were naturally overjoyed, and if they entered the academy, they were really expected to be on the list of the imperial examinations, otherwise, with the conditions of the two of them, I am afraid that after twenty years, they will be as depressed as Liu Tangren and end up crazy.

Zeng Qingyi didn't say anything, just congratulated Xu Mingyuan casually, and then whispered a word to find him three days later.

After leaving the academy, the three of them went to lunch together. After the meal, Xu Mingyuan planned to go to Dongcheng, and Zhao Qingliang and Feng Rui also refused Zhou Binjie's invitation to take them to visit the Qinglou, saying that they wanted to go home first, and then the two of them would take the academy exam in two days.

For Xu Mingyuan, the two are also very grateful, but after all, they are young people, and they still keep their gratitude in their hearts. Seeing the irrepressible and happy mood of the two, regardless of the eyes of others, they looked up to the sky and smiled on the avenue, Xu Mingyuan and Zhou Binjie, who were standing at the door of the restaurant, also smiled.

Zhou Binjie sent Xu Mingyuan to Dongcheng, said hello to Liu Sanniang and Guo Cailing, and asked Liu Sanniang to prepare more chopsticks at night, and left first. Their father and son were resolute, and the front foot had just sent out the people who were exploring the road, and several large workshops of Shu embroidery and silk had already been set up.

It is worthy of being the richest man in Shuzhou, the speed and scale of this workshop are not comparable to ordinary workshops, and after completion, I am afraid that only a few official workshops in Jiannan Road can be compared. Zhou Jingfan has completely delegated power to Zhou Binjie, except for the big checks, Zhou Binjie has to do the rest of the things by himself, so when he came out in the morning, Zhou Binjie also squeezed the time to come here.

The fact that Xu Mingyuan won the top spot also made Liu Sanniang and Guo Cailing's mother and daughter happy, but Guo Dongcheng, who had not seen Xu Mingyuan in the crowd before, had already sent Wang Dayong back to report the good news.

Xu Mingyuan asked Guo Cailing to take the four treasures of the study, sat under the old kui tree, and taught her to practice calligraphy while helping others write family letters.

There shouldn't be many days like this in the future, but now Guo Cailing almost recognizes the handwriting, and the handwriting is also very good, which is enough to help the neighbors write family letters.

After writing the words, Guo Cailing also specially brought needlework and embroidery to Xu Mingyuan, although she has only studied for more than two months, but the little girl's embroidery is already good. Although the long and short needles are not particularly skilled, they are indeed very talented embroiderers, and it seems that it will not take long to become a teacher.

After writing for two hours, Xu Mingyuan took the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, basket of persimmons sent by the family, and went to visit Granny Li with Guo Cailing.

Although Zhang Quanshun broke an arm and a leg, the smile on Granny Li's face was much more than before, and she didn't have to worry about her son outside, which was a lot more comfortable. Zhang Quanshun, whose injuries are almost healed, still has a good body and bones, and he can barely walk around with a cane, so that he will not lie on the bed completely.

Granny Li asked Xu Mingyuan to put the persimmons aside, and complained that he didn't bring Zeng Qingyi, saying that she wanted to talk about the good things of the two.

Xu Mingyuan smiled a little embarrassedly, but the little girl Guo Cailing was unhappy, and pouted: "Mother-in-law, Sister Qingyi said that she would not marry Brother Mingyuan, so don't mess with the mandarin duck score." ”

"I think it's your little girl who wants to occupy Mingyuan, she is a big ghost, but this temperament is like her mother-in-law back then." Granny Li nodded Guo Cailing's forehead with a smile, and said with some pampering.

The little girl stuck out her tongue, didn't refute, and looked at Xu Mingyuan with some pride.

Xu Mingyuan chatted with Zhang Quanshun who was sitting on a small chair for a while, Zhang Quanshun's crutches were still made by him, and it took two months, but it was quite suitable for him.
