The uninvited guests were solved one by one, and under the greeting of Fang Yingwu and Xiang Chengxian, the drunken incense building was very lively tonight.

Upstairs and downstairs are brightly lit and bright as day, more than 60 people from Zhejiang Province gathered together, pushing cups and changing lamps, laughter, and occasionally a few beauties screaming This is a comfortable time before the list, and the gentlemen are very tacit and enjoy it.

When the list is released tomorrow, it will be a few happy and a few worried. Although the admission rate of the general examination is higher than that of the township examination, it is less than one percent, and most people will return "disappointed". God doesn't give him the opportunity to serve Jun'en and Kuang Fu Sheji, so he has to reluctantly go back to his hometown and continue to be a local tyrant.

Moreover, everyone is equal tonight, they are all candidates in the same field, they are all from the same province, and they are all from the old class in the province, but as soon as the list comes out tomorrow, the new identity boundary will be subdivided again.

After all, quasi-jinshi and juren are still different, and the pride of the sky and the turtle who look at the world are different after all, and there are very few opportunities to hook up and wander like today.

Upstairs and downstairs, Fang Yingwu chartered the venue, and the invited guests were upstairs and accompanied by Fang Yingwu; The uninvited guests were all downstairs, accompanied by Xiang Chengxian.

Fang Yingwu sat on the chairman, chatting and laughing with everyone from time to time, and drinking and having fun was also an indispensable item. But he wasn't too active, and he didn't show his old job of selling poetry. Because he is the master tonight, the host must have the demeanor of the master, and there is no need to rush to compete with the guests for the limelight.

Fang Yingwu smiled, his eyes slowly swept over the hall, he saw Wang Yangming, his father Wang Hua, and saw Xie Yuan Li Min in the same year. I saw Wang You, a famous man in this county, and also saw some celebrities in this province

As long as you can invite all these people over. That's the biggest face of his master's family, who else has the face to bring so many people together? Why should he be too active in stealing the limelight and annoying?

Suddenly. A small laugh broke out not far from the left-hand side, Fang Yingwu raised his eyes, but found that Du Xiangqin, a famous prostitute in the teaching workshop, was also there.

Someone turned his head and shouted at the other party: "Du Sanniang said, whoever has the highest ranking this time, she will recommend herself to entertain whoever she has for three days!" Did Fang Gongzi promise to cut his love? ”

Fang Yingwu waved his hand and smiled: "I am a serious gentleman, and I will not participate in your nonsense!" ”

Someone in the corner deliberately sighed faintly: "I don't know which friend in the same room was given a book by the courtiers to ask the willow for misconduct before the exam?" Du Sanniang seems to have seen this person, hasn't she? ”

The hall was full of daxiao, and the atmosphere became more and more lively. After laughing. Xiang Chengxian's head suddenly popped up at the staircase, and shouted to the people upstairs: "Du Meiren is coming down!" Don't rob anyone! ”

Fang Yingwu remembered Wang Zhi's words, so he wanted to call Du Xiangqin over to ask a few words. At this time, suddenly a shopkeeper walked to his side, and the other party responded: "Master Fang, there is a man named Lou Tianhua outside the door, claiming to be your old acquaintance and asking to see you." ”

Lou Tianhua is the down-and-out literati who often wanders around the guild hall, making a living by finding out news and being an intermediary.

What is he going to do? I don't need him here now, do you? Fang Yingwu was puzzled. Still nodded and said, "Please come in!" ”

Not long after, Lou Tianhua appeared in front of Fang Yingwu, saluted and said, "I heard that Fang Gongzi is here to feast on fellow villagers and wait for the list, I don't know if I want to be informed of the list of candidates early?" ”

Lou Tianhua didn't make a big sound. But Fang Yingwu's surroundings suddenly quieted down, and his eyes shot towards Lou Tianhua. Although everyone is profligate on the surface, they are still most concerned about the results of the examination.

Fang Yingwu was surprised. Lou Tianhua's gang can even find out about such a confidential thing? The Gongyuan is heavily blocked, where did this leak the secret?

He looked left and right. After a moment of silence, he replied: "My generation of scholars, don't listen to indecent people. and still do not do this lawlessness. ”

Lou Tianhua smiled and said: "Fang Gongzi is too worried, the little one will definitely not violate the rules of heaven!" ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Fang Yingwu was very curious, did he have to rely on fortune telling?

Lou Tianhua explained: "Although the list of the examination will be hung up in the Ministry of Rites tomorrow, that is, in the morning or morning of the 27th, in fact, the list will be written from the third watch in the middle of the night, and the winners of the list will be approved one by one and written before they can be sent to the Ministry of Rites."

In the middle of the night, all the examiners and supervisors will gather in the hall of the Gongyuan, and all the transcripts and original papers of the Chinese examination papers will be moved to the hall.

Then, according to the ranking of the test papers, the names are dismantled one by one, and after proofreading them one by one, the calligrapher will write his name on the examination list. Open a name, proofread the test paper, and then write a name on the exam list, which is the final confirmation of the candidate.

That is, it is a process that follows through the night, and it takes a long time. Although the names of the people who have been written on the examination list have not yet been released to the outside, they have actually been admitted and it is impossible to correct them.

And someone on our side can pass the news out as soon as the name is written on the list, and report a few people on the list, so that you can know the results as soon as possible, and you don't have to wait until tomorrow morning for the Ministry of Rites to put up the list. In fact, this is not a leak of secrets, the exam and marking have ended, and the results have been settled, we just want to come early to report the good news. ”

Fang Yingwu was speechless when he heard it, these days, there are snakes, road rats, rats, and ordinary officials may be afraid of decency and disdain to do such bullshit things, but the little officials don't care.

Zuihou Lou Tianhua added, "Of course, if you want to know the result early, silver is indispensable, and the small one can help Fang Gongzi to pull the strings." ”

Silver is indispensable, a pun, one is not to give up silver, and the other is that the bid cannot be too low.

Fang Yingwu looked around and saw a pair of eager eyes. If you wait dryly until tomorrow morning, it will be boring for a long time. However, if you drink and have fun while there is the latest Chinese news, it will make the night party even more exciting, and it may become a grand event.

Thinking of this, he said to Lou Tianhua: "Then there is Your Excellency Lao!" With the news, especially the news from Zhejiang Province, it will be sent to Zuixianglou! Money is yours! ”

Tonight's overspending is very bad, Fang Yingwu is a little heartbroken, Meng Weichun Shen is really not good. And Lou Tianhua made a circle and said loudly to everyone: "I wish you all high school!" Then he went out beaming.

The banquet continued. But after midnight, the noise was much quieter. Many enterprising people are a little out of mind, and their thoughts have already flown to the side of the Gongyuan. I'm probably already starting to write the list.

Unconsciously, the third watch day passed slowly, and when it came to the fourth watch, I suddenly heard a roar downstairs, and the person who was anxious was already standing on the edge of the railing, stretching his neck to look.

Someone shouted at the top of his voice: "Good news! Good news! 300th place"

There is a rule for writing the list, which is written from the first place in zuihou, and the person who is ranked behind appears relatively early, and the first one to come out is the one zuihou. It seems that the undergraduate entrance examination may have enrolled 300 people. No more, no less, exactly the middle of two hundred and five to three hundred and five.

Now there was no one talking in the whole building, and they all listened to the good news with their ears sideways - "The third hundredth, Li Min of Qiantang County, Zhejiang!" ”

Good! The first one is from Zhejiang Province, which is considered a lottery. Especially Li Min was also upstairs, and everyone cheered together and congratulated Li Min.

Li Min frowned, he was a little dissatisfied with the third hundredth, but he was the first Xie Yuan in the Zhejiang Township Test! How did you get the 300th place in the test? This is one of the zuihou on the list. Do all examiners have eye problems?

But when he thought about it again, it was better to be on the list than to be on the list, and besides, this was just a test, and there was a palace test in the back to show his strength. That was the final standing, so I was relieved.

Immediately, Li Min remembered the prophecy of Yingwu before the exam, and couldn't help but say, "Fang is the same year." It seems that I can't get the top prize in the next subject, but I can still try it in the undergraduate. ”

Fang Yingwu smiled bitterly. can only swallow the bitter fruit and say: "I am in the next words, sin and sin." ”

It's hard to be a prophet. Although the general direction of history has not changed, the butterfly effect has still occurred, and some small details are inevitably different from the previous life. Li Min was supposed to fall this time, but he became the champion in the next subject, but unexpectedly, he didn't fall this time in this time and space.

There were also a few people on the list who came to the news with Li Min, all of whom were on the list, but those few were not from Zhejiang, so everyone was not very interested in paying attention.

After the hustle and bustle of the first news, Zuixianglou was quiet again. There was no hustle and bustle in the hall, no shouting, everyone was in groups, and they started to talk, and the banquet seemed to have turned into a tea party.

After a quarter of an hour there was another noise downstairs, and the annunciation came again, shouting loudly; "The 290th place in the examination, Chun'an County, Zhejiang"

Hearing these words, Fang Yingwu was stunned, stood up suddenly, and held his breath nervously.

Although he has always thought that he is very calm, with his current identity and age, he is not in a hurry to be a Chinese-style official, and he keeps saying that he is fortunate and loses his life.

But when it came to the end, he found that he still couldn't calm down. Is it because he is relatively weak about his eight-strand literary level, so he comforts himself so much? If you can win, of course, it will be better, the biggest threshold in this life will pass, and I dare not say that it is a smooth road, but there is no pass. For the traverser, the imperial examination is, of course, the biggest obstacle to striving for the top.

"The 290th Xiang Chengxian!"

The downstairs immediately became noisy, mixed with the smug laughter of the eldest prince Xiang: "hahahahaha!" ”

Damn, Fang Yingwu, who had taken shit luck, laughed a few times, and couldn't help but complain. Just based on the exam attitude of the eldest prince Xiang, it turned out to be Chinese, what is this not shit luck? Does the examiner have an eye disease?

While he was happy that his friend was on the list, Fang Yingwu was a little worried. It's okay if you don't win, if you don't hit this time, won't you be a head shorter than Xiang Dagongzi, and you will become his follower in the future? It's really funny, so let's go downstairs first and say goodbye.

In this sleepless night, the annunciation people came again and again to report the good news, and there were seven or eight Chinese-style people in front of and behind the building. In addition to Li Min and Xiang Chengxian, who ranked more at the end of the crane, Wang You, a famous scholar in the same county, appeared in the forty-eighth place, and the future champion (already doubtful) Wang Hua appeared in the thirty-seventh place and one won the fourteenth place.

The ranking is getting higher and higher, and Fang Yingwu's heart is getting heavier and heavier.

He doesn't have much confidence in the level of his article, even if he can be Chinese, it is estimated that it is the last rank of the crane, and the possibility of a high name is too low. In other words, the further back you go, the lower the probability of your own Chinese style.

When the sky was dark, more than 290 of the 300 people who were selected for the test had already been reported, and the rest of the people who did not appear were all in the top ten.

Fang Yingwu sighed, this time the test is really useless, in the case of a vague name transcription, if he can get in the top ten in these two essays, what will the examiner's eye disease look like?

He rubbed his forehead again and planned his own business. In the next three years, I will honestly play the role of the second generation of officials and the role of a dog-headed military advisor, which is also a very promising career.

Not only Fang Yingwu, but most of the people in the building were a little frustrated, after all, there were only seven or eight out of more than sixty people. Long sighs and short sighs, borrowing wine to drown their sorrows, and even some people have left the table early.

Wang Yangming and his father saw that Fang Yingwu was happy, so he comforted: "Why should Fang Gongzi be discouraged, there are still a few rankings that have not come out." Fang Yingwu waved his hand, "I know my own affairs, and it is really difficult to get into the hall of elegance."

"You are also one of the top three in the province, how can you be so demoralized and looked down upon!" On the other side, Li Min suddenly interjected.

At this time, suddenly there was a commotion downstairs again, and then I saw Xiang Chengxian running upstairs wildly, and shouted out of breath: "Great joy!" Exultation! ”

The attention of everyone in the building was drawn, what else could there be at this time?

A good news person flashed out from behind Xiang Chengxian, holding the big red post, bowing his head and reading word by word: "The first place in the Xinchou Branch Examination in the seventeenth year of Chenghua, Fang Yingwu in Chun'an County, Zhejiang!" ”

No way! Fang Yingwu jumped up from his seat, the examiner was really blind, no, did he have an eye disease? There must be something shady in this!

Although Huiyuan is not the champion, it has no practical significance, and it will not be awarded according to Huiyuan, but Huiyuan is also one of the three yuan, and it is also the first in the world! As long as you are a reader, who doesn't want these false names!

Although Fang Yingwu has always warned himself that no matter what he gains or loses, he must be calm and not lose his dignity, but at this time, he still couldn't help but clench his fists and raise them high, wild hahadaxiao, and the sound waves were endless.

No matter what the greasy inside story is, let's talk about it after the moment first, and it's never too late to die after it's addicted!

In the eyes of everyone, they don't feel out of place, if they are nineteen years old and take the first place in the exam, they are afraid that they will be even more crazy than Fang Yingwu.

I don't know who took the lead, and the people in the building applauded together, like thunder, resounding through the drunken incense building, and it is estimated that it will be no problem to spread it out for two miles. This is the first place in the world, and it deserves to be admired by everyone!

Xiang Chengxian, who was standing at the top of the stairs and couldn't squeeze in, shouted outside: "Brother Fang Xian! In this situation, compose a poem to congratulate yourself! I haven't listened to you for a long time! ”

What a good brother with a similar heart! Fang Yingwu's previous loneliness was swept away, and he looked around with great ambition, and recited aloud:

"The first among the three hundred, flowers are like Luo Qiliu like smoke! The green robe is full of grace, and the yellow list is fresh when it opens! Tiptoe to the white house, and climb the osmanthus to the sky! Don't be surprised when you go to the department early, Chang'e loves young people in the month! ”

Although the words are a little unsatisfactory, it has not yet reached the place where the green robe is located and the yellow list is open, and it is more like the tone of the champion, and it also draws on a few sentences from the ancients, but it is impeccable to the situation, and Huiyuan is also the first.

The first among the three hundred, Chang'e loves the boy in the month, isn't it the person in front of him? (To be continued......)
