After taking the Zuihou exam on August 15, Fang Yingwu lay down in his residence for a day on August 16 and did not recover until August 17.

He stood in the courtyard, stretching his hands and feet, and now he really didn't have the heart to read any more books, thinking about how to pass the time before the list. Suddenly, Wang Ying ran over to report: "Xiang Gongzi is here!" ”

Fang Yingwu only saw Xiang Chengxian walking in by himself, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why did you run over by yourself?" I thought it was you and Brother Hong who came together and asked me for a drink. ”

"I came here alone to thank you, it's not good to call Brother Hong." Xiang Chengxian said sneakily.

Fang Yingwu was very inexplicable, "Thank you for me?" ”

Xiang Chengxian laughed a few times, patted Fang Yingwu's shoulder and said: "Brother Fang Xian, your biggest problem is that you don't leave a name for doing good deeds, I found a few books nailed under the wooden board in the examination room, and you secretly let that Shiyan settle it?" So how can I not thank you? ”

Fang Yingwu was stunned, he hadn't done this kind of thing and it became clear when he thought about it, this must have been arranged by Shi Yan in order to please himself, knowing that Xiang Chengxian and himself were friends.

Sending Xiang Chengxian away, Fang Yingwu somehow suddenly suffered a little bit of gain and loss. Even he himself was strange, he was confident and fearless before the exam, why was he a little nervous after the exam?

According to his previous estimates, there is about a seventy or eighty percent chance of being selected, which means that as long as it is not particularly unlucky, it will always be on the list. But who knows if there will be another two or three percent chances

According to the regulations, the township examination list must be released before the end of August, and the date depends on the specific situation. At the same time, it is also necessary to refer to the auspicious days.

In the blink of an eye, on the twenty-third and fourth day, the reference scholars knew that the results should come out. Countless scholars gathered on Qingyun Street near Gongyuan every day, anxiously waiting for first-hand news.

Fang Yingwu is no exception. He, Xiang Chengxian, and Hong Song sat in the street tea shop all day long, chatting while waiting for the gate of the Gongyuan to open.

On August 26, seeing that it was almost noon, Fang Yingwu in the tea shop instructed the chief to follow Wang Ying to buy a few people's food and come back. They don't dare to leave their seats easily, and now there are more people than ants on Qingyun Street, and grabbing seats is commonplace, and they will be remembered if they have a little spare time.

Wang Ying asked Hong Gongzi and Xiang Gongzi about their tastes again, turned around and was about to go out, when suddenly another tea shop boy rushed in. He shouted to the guests, "Come out!" It's out! The color pavilion in the Gongyuan has come out! ”

When I boarded, the whole tea shop was like a volcano erupting, and the sound almost toppled the roof of the house, and then the crowd was surging, rushing out of the tea shop.

The news had spread, and the streets were crowded with people, and they couldn't walk, so the scholars had to stand by the road, waiting in the direction of the Gongyuan. Fang Yingwu and the other three were barely standing in the crowd under the escort of domestic slaves.

Follow the rules. After filling in the township test list, it should be put into the color pavilion, and then carried to the political envoy department, and the zuihou will post it on the wall outside the political envoy office.

After a while, I saw dozens of officials clustering around a colorful pavilion from a distance. Blowing and blowing walked along Qingyun Street, all the way to the south in the direction of the political envoy. Fang Yingwu and the other three walked with the large army behind the Caiting team. I walked for another half hour. Only then did he go to the office of the political envoy.

This side has already been prepared, and there is a fence under the wall. There are also officers and soldiers who are closely guarded to prevent the list watchers from getting too close and destroying the list.

The outside of the wall has been fenced three layers inside, and the outer three layers are impassable. Under the watchful eye of the public, several officials lifted out the township test list and carefully posted it on the wall.

When the people were boiling, as if they were boiling a pot, everyone opened their eyes and looked at the list carefully. The font on the list is the size of a bowl, and the rows and columns are neat and tidy, so you can see it clearly without getting too close.

For a while, the list showed a variety of states in the world, some took out the momentum and never returned, striding meteors into the crowd, some pretending to be calm but staring at Bang Wen with their eyes, and some scratching their ears and scratching their cheeks on the periphery and stretching their necks to Bang Wen.

There are also those who wear red clothes and red hats, and run outside with joy, this is a professional list-watcher, and when he sees someone's high school, he hurries to report the good news and please the money.

After a while, there were several other human feelings, some of them danced with ecstasy and danced at a loss, and they stumbled out of despair, and they muttered to themselves with tears streaming down their faces, and they didn't know whether they were happy or sad, some sighed and sighed and didn't want to live, and some sneered and shook their heads and left.

Fang Yingwu didn't just stand outside, let Wang Ying rush in instead of watching the list, he wanted to feel joy or sadness in person for the first time.

In the crowd of people like the tide, Fang Yingwu and his two friends were separated. When he barely squeezed to a distance from the fence under the protection of Wang Ying, he could finally see the words on the list clearly through the gap between the heads.

The words that start with the two columns of "Zhejiang Township Trial Record in the Sixteenth Year of Chenghua of the Ming Dynasty" and "Ninety-five Chinese-style Lifting People" are directly ignored, and Fang Yingwu's eyes are quick to browse, and there is a long row of names behind the viewer-

The first word of the first name is not Fang, what exactly is not put in my mind at all, anyway, it is not myself, I skip it directly; The first word of the second name is not yet Fang, so continue to skip it

Fang Yingwu was not discouraged, he was mentally prepared, there were ninety-five names in total, and there were many more to come, and there was no essential difference between the first place and the ninety-fifth place. But when I saw the third name, there was a small surprise, the first word of this line of names is like the word "Fang"!

Fang Yingwu's heart shook heavily, his eyes lit up, and he immediately browsed, and the second word was Ying! Fang Daxiu felt a rush of blood rushing to his head when he first boarded, and he almost lost his voice and shouted out.

The noise around him seemed to disappear suddenly, and he was engrossed in holding his breath to look at the third word of the list of names, yes, it was the word "thing"! Together, the third name is "Fang Yingwu"!

Fang Daxiu couldn't hold back any longer, raised his arms and stabbed straight into the sky, and shouted as if no one was around. Xiucai is just a reserve scholar, and he is the ruling class, and in the future, he will not be Fang Xiaoxianggong, but Xiao Fang!

Even if you can't be a jinshi in the future, you can also choose an official as a lifter, even if you don't want to choose an official, you can get rich overnight, and from then on, you can be a local celebrity who has no worries about food and clothing.

Jin Juren, Yin Jinshi, the rarest pass in the imperial examination has passed! Lifting people is one out of thirty, and Jinshi is one out of ten, relatively speaking, it is much easier for a Jinshi to lift than to lift a person.

For ordinary people, Zhongxiu is a happy thing, but Zhongju people are something to be crazy about, even if they win the Jinshi in the future, they will not be as excited as Zhongju. Don't you see the famous Fan Jin brother going crazy after being promoted, but when he was a junior soldier, did he pass it off?

“hahahaha！” Although Fang Yingwu laughed loudly, it made others particularly surprised, under this list, the most extreme emotions in the world were gathered, and it would not be too surprising if anything happened. But from Fang Yingwu's laughter, everyone around him knew that this person must be in high school, in addition to envy, he was still envious.

When his emotions eased down, Fang Yingwu felt fluttering, if it weren't for Wang Ying holding him by his side, he would have suspected that he was going to fly.

What is the number one? Who is Xie Yuan? Fang Yingwu finally had the energy to care about other things, so he raised his head again and looked at Bang Wen.

In that position on the list, Fang Yingwu looked at his list again, and the full text of this line was "The third place Fang Yingwu is an eighteen-year-old Chun'an County student".

Third place, one of the leaders of the Five Classics.

As mentioned above, the Four Books are compulsory for readers, and the Five Classics are optional for readers, and everyone chooses one of them as the main scripture. The top five in the township examination list must be selected from each of the candidates of the Five Classics.

That is to say, in the "Poems", "Books", "Rites", "Yi", and "Spring and Autumn" Five Classics, the most haode person is selected among the candidates in each scripture, and the total is the top five, which is called the leader of the Five Classics, and the folk are also called the Five Leaders.

For example, Fang Yingwu, the third place, was selected as the top five leaders in "Spring and Autumn". And the most outstanding of the five leaders is naturally Xie Yuan, and the rest are called Yakui.

The ranking is very high, but Fang Yingwu has no extra energy. Chang Sui Wang Ying is also literate, and couldn't help but discuss: "The little minister is two short of Xie Yuan, otherwise the father and son Xie Yuan's good name will come out." ”

Fang Yingwu didn't dare to be so greedy, to say that ambition was not without hope at all, but Xie Yuan was really too much attention.

He knows his own family affairs, and he knows very well that he has a few brushes, and being a third place is already very eye-catching, not to mention Xie Yuan, that is, he is roasted on the brazier.

"This great grandmaster is too polite, it's enough to give a middle dozen, and he actually got a five-leader leader." Fang Yingwu sighed very embarrassed.

Wang Ying put her mind at ease and thought very well with the situation, Xiao Xianggong's mind seemed to have completely returned to normal, otherwise he would not have started to be hypocritical.

Fang Yingwu continued to look at the list and began to look at other people's rankings, of course, the first thing to pay attention to was the two in front of him, who the new Xie Yuan was must understand.

But I saw that the front of the list was written: The first place Li Min is thirty-seven years old and a student in Qiantang County. The second line reads: The second Wang Hua is 36 years old and Yuyao County is a student.

Li Min? Wang Hua? Fang Yingwu's eyes widened, did these two old brothers pass the township test this time?

For ordinary people, these two people are not very well-known in the long history, but in professionals like Fang Yingwu, they know it.

If according to historical facts, Wang Hua will be the champion of next year's Spring Festival, that is, the champion of Chenghua in the 17th year; And Li Min will be the champion of the next time, that is, the 20th year of Chenghua.

In front of me are two future champion brothers, what a dragon and tiger list. Fang Yingwu sighed again and again, and the little remaining bit of lust for Xie Yuan immediately disappeared completely.

However, in comparison, Wang Hua's brother Wang is slightly more famous than Li Min, because his son is Wang Shouren and Wang Yangming (to be continued......

PS: Yesterday, I struggled for a long time about the ranking of the protagonist and what to write after the lift, so I delayed the update, and now I will make up for it.
