Chapter Ninety-Three: The New Branch
February 20th.
On the day of the trial list, Su Jun and Su Ertong arrived outside the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion early and occupied a favorable position, they had full confidence that their young master must be from high school.
Su Tiancheng is still in the inn, he doesn't want to watch it, anyway, there is no problem with going to high school, whether to see it or not, it's like that.
Because of the trial list, Guozijian is usually resting, Su Tianhao accompanies Su Tiancheng, in the guest room, there are exquisite wine and dishes on the table, the wine jug is full of fine wine, and the fragrance of wine that continues to float out is mouth-watering.
Wang Dazhi was still guarding the outside of the room, as if he was a personal bodyguard.
As for Luo Chang, in his room, drinking silently, his heart is very complicated, the rules of the imperial examination, he knows the Tao, unless Su Tiancheng has eloquence and strategy, otherwise, in the officialdom of deceit, it is also very difficult, and it is really difficult to say the way out for himself and the three thousand brothers in the future.
Su Ertong and Su Jun, who have already experienced a list, are not nervous at all, they believe that the name of their young master must come out later, and the last township test, isn't it the last time it comes out, and there will be no one in front.
Having said this, thinking like this, when each list came out, the two of them were wide-eyed as usual.
Ying Tianfu Yamen's singing celebrities, like a bell, are proud to have such an opportunity, this is a glorious duty.
Every name was reported, it caused bursts of cheers, and if you will test high school, you will have the opportunity to meet the emperor, you must be an official master.
The team of the annunciation is still the busiest, they have a clear division of labor, some people are responsible for delivering the wedding card, some people are responsible for copying the wedding card, and some people are responsible for playing music, and a temporary business group has been formed.
The reward of the good news is very high, and the reward of the master of Gongsheng will never be stingy, and every time he tries it, the reward of more than 300 tribute students is more than 10,000 taels of silver.
As long as there are candidates living in the inn, on the day of the list, there are guys to see the list, if it is in their own inn, there are candidates in high school, the guys in the inn will shout all the way, jogging back to the inn to report the good news, for fear that others will not know the way. This is actually a kind of propaganda, showing that his inn is popular, rich and noble, and lives with Master Gongsheng.
The people of the capital also attach great importance to the list of the trial, the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven naturally have a sense of superiority, feel that the emperor is by their side, and they are paying attention to them all the time, the people of the capital care about the affairs of the imperial court, the examination and the palace examination are all major matters of the imperial court, and they should pay more attention to it.
The list of exams is also not ordinary.
There are a total of twenty-four lists, divided into five levels, the first level list is twelve, with twenty people on each one, the second level list is six, each with eighteen people, the third level list is four, each with six people, the fourth level list is one with two people above, and the fifth level list is one with one person above.
This is somewhat similar to the palace examination list, but there are also differences.
Eighteen lists have come out, and I haven't seen Su Tiancheng's name.
There are still six lists left, that is, there are still twenty-seven tribute places.
Su Ertong and Su Jun were nervous, although their young master was the Xie Yuan of the township test, it was unlikely that he would become the Hui Yuan of the exam, and the previous Hui Yuan was taken away by the students in the south.
Su Jun and Su Ertong couldn't help but get closer, and the two seemed to be comforting themselves and cheering each other up.
Four lists have come out one after another, and there are six people on each list, and there is still no name of Su Tiancheng.
The next list, the two of them, still do not have Su Tiancheng's name.
Su Ertong was a little dizzy, it's over, is it really not possible for the young master to go to high school this time, Su Jun's face turned pale, his lips trembled a little, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.
The sound of firecrackers and good news came around, Su Tiancheng was already a little used to it, there were two candidates in the Gaosheng Inn where he lived, who were in high school and became tribute students, the sound of firecrackers was deafening, and the shopkeeper of the inn was as loud as the Shuntian Mansion official who was on roll call.
Time passed slowly, and the release of the list was nearing the end.
Su Tianhao has not spoken, and today's test list has nothing to do with him, and he didn't take the exam. His mind is just as complicated, he is Su Tiancheng's eldest brother, if Su Tiancheng can go to high school, then take the palace exam, meet the emperor, and enter the Hanlin Academy, his identity will be extremely noble, and he will definitely be able to get light.
But for so many years, Su Tianhao has always prided himself on being good, feeling good about himself, not only the eldest son in the family, but also the academic ability is at the forefront.
The atmosphere inside the room was a bit dull.
"Big brother, I haven't been talking, it's not much fun to drink like this."
"Third brother, I'm a little worried, looking at your appearance, I'm a lot more relieved, okay, let's open up drinking, get drunk, speaking of which, we have never drunk together."
Su Tiancheng smiled and did not continue to speak, it was impossible to have such an opportunity before.
Su Jun finally spoke.
"Ertong, the young master must have no problem, there is still a list that has not come out."
Su Ertong nodded hard.
When the people around heard it, they all looked at the two of them, their eyes were a little strange, whose slave is this, the tone is so big, there is only one list left, it is the Huiyuan of this examination, these two people, I thought that the examination was held by your family, and Huiyuan is your young master's.
Even the people who were on the roll call looked at Su Jun and Su Ertong, and felt that these two boys were too angry.
Su Ertong and Su Jun had already not paid attention to the situation around them, to be honest, they also felt disappointed, it was not easy for the township test to solve the yuan, could they still become the leader of the test huiyuan, wouldn't it be the leader in Wenqu Xing.
The last list is finally out.
The clerk with the list in his hand is still unhurried.
The people around quickly quieted down, and Huiyuan was about to come out.
Su Ertong and Su Jun were already trembling with nervous bodies, and he could only hope that a miracle would happen.
The official on the roll call first saw the list, and while the list was being posted, he spoke.
"This year's township test will be yuan, Shanxi will raise Su Tiancheng, and the word Kunyuan ......"
Su Ertong and Su Jun sat on the ground at the same time.
Before the two of them could stand up, Su Ertong shouted loudly.
"My young master is Huiyuan, and my young master is Huiyuan......"
Not to be outdone, Su Jun followed and shouted.
"My young master is Shanxi Township to try to solve the yuan, will try to meet the yuan, my young master two yuan and the first ......"
The coaxing around exploded all at once, the township test solution yuan, the meeting test will be yuan, two yuan and the first, a rare situation, especially this time the yuan, the person is not a candidate from the south.
There were already people around Su Ertong and Su Jun, and they began to ask gossip, and even the people who were on the roll call couldn't help but come over, thinking about asking about the situation.
Su Ertong and Su Jun tried hard to separate the crowd, go back to the inn early, and give the young master good news, but there were too many people around, and they kept asking, and the two were tired of coping with it, and they couldn't walk away at all.
The guy at the inn, when he ran back, was out of breath, and his voice was a little hoarse.
He was finally ahead of the annunciation.
The innkeeper found that the situation was not right, there were already two Gongsheng masters in front, and it was said that another Gongsheng master would not be a big deal, at this time, the list should be over, could it be that the candidates who live in the inn will take the high school test.
When there was a noise downstairs, Su Tiancheng was holding a wine glass and drinking it in one gulp.
The guy didn't knock on the door, he came in directly and knelt in front of Su Tiancheng.
"Congratulations to Master Su, the high school will be the first to try."
"Ding Dong" "Ding Dong"
Two crisp sounds came out, the wine glass in Su Tiancheng's hand fell to the ground and cracked, and the wine bottle in Su Tianhao's hand also fell to the ground and shattered.
The shopkeeper had already come up with him, just standing outside the door.
In the inn, there is a Huiyuan who will try, the meaning is extraordinary, there is only one in three years, and the chance of meeting is too small.
This old man Su Tiancheng arrived at the inn relatively late, rarely went out, seemed very low-key, and he was very young.
Of course, the shopkeeper knew what it meant that in the inn, there was a meeting for Yuanlang.
He hurriedly entered the door and knelt down for Su Tiancheng.
"Congratulations to the lord for trying high school, the lord will try to be the yuan, that is the head of the Wenqu star in the sky has come, the inn has prepared a banquet for the lord, and please don't shirk the lord."
Su Tiancheng hurriedly helped up the innkeeper and his buddy.
"During this time, living in the inn, I caused trouble to the shopkeeper, the guy served very thoughtfully, and I haven't had time to thank him, the shopkeeper should not be so polite, this is the matter of arranging a banquet, or I will pay the silver."
"Don't, be able to feast Master Su, this is the well-being of the inn, Master Su must not mention the matter of silver."
The shopkeeper smiled happily and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.
The innkeeper shouted along the way, someone already knew that Su Tiancheng, who lived in the Gaosheng Inn, was Hui Yuanlang, and the news of Su Tiancheng's two yuan and the first was spread around at an alarming speed.
There are already a lot of people who have come to the inn, and they want to see with their own eyes what this township test Xie Yuan and Hui Yuan look like, and why they are so powerful that they have defeated many candidates in the south and become Hui Yuanlang.
The team to announce the good news also arrived, and the band mustered up all their strength, beating gongs and drums, and the sound of suona was high-pitched.
"Good news, good news, congratulations to Master Su Tiancheng of Pingyang Mansion, Shanxi, who will take the high school exam, and the first place will be ......"
