The three-day exam time was fleeting, and the other candidates all walked out of the Gongyuan sickly, but Zhou Chen was not.

After Zhou Chen finished answering the test questions, he spent all the rest of his time on meditation exercises.

So when Zhou Chen walked out of the Tribute Courtyard, his spirit not only did not appear to be a little sluggish, but even more full than before.

Shi Shiran left the Tribute Courtyard, and Zhou Chen went straight back to the inn where he stayed with Badao, waiting for the trial list.

The time for marking the exam is very short, and the results will be confirmed thoroughly on the second day after the exam.

Early the next morning, the officials of the Ministry of Rites posted the list, and at the same time sent countless officials to various parts of the capital to report the good news to all the candidates with the title of the gold list.

However, even if some officials of the Ministry of Etiquette sent good news, some eager candidates still rushed to the place where the list was posted and waited, in order to see the results of the examination as soon as possible.

If it weren't for the fact that it was too cold this winter, I'm afraid that some candidates might have slept directly in the place where the results were released.

Compared with these candidates, Zhou Chen is undoubtedly much calmer.

Although he also got up early in the morning, he was able to sit patiently in the room, quietly waiting for the arrival of the annunciation.

On the contrary, Badao, the person who did not take the exam, was more nervous than Zhou Chen himself.

Even though Ba Dao was sitting not far from Zhou Chen, judging from his tightly clenched hands and rubbing them together, his heart was obviously extremely nervous.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Suddenly, there was a very lively sound of gongs and drums coming from far and near to the outside of the inn.

Badao, who was originally sitting patiently on the chair, stood up suddenly, he stared at Zhou Chen tightly and said, "Childe, someone has come to the inn to report the good news, let's go out and have a look!" ”

Seeing Badao's eager move, Zhou Chen couldn't help but feel a burst of amusement in his heart, this was originally him waiting for the results of the exam, but now it turned out to be as if Badao was waiting for the release of the list.

"Okay, then go downstairs to the lobby and wait for the report!"

However, Zhou Chen did not refuse the proposal of the sword, he slowly stood up, and while speaking, he pushed open the door and walked out towards the lobby of the inn.

Those who have excellent results in the spring examination should be called tributes to be precise.

After becoming a tribute, you also need to see a palace examination, which will be assessed by the emperor, and will personally point out the top three and give you the titles of champion, list eye, and tanhua.

The other tributes who participated in the temple examination were given the origin of the jinshi.

However, the actual situation is that almost all the tributes who participated in the temple examination, as long as there is not much difference in the results of the entrance examination, almost all of them can achieve the fame of a jinshi.

Even if there are some bias mistakes, in the end, you can basically end up with the background of a fellow jinshi.

Therefore, after the title of the gold list in the examination, the fame of the Jinshi can be regarded as in hand.

Only after obtaining this Jinshi fame can Zhou Chen be able to truly integrate into the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, so as to be among the high positions and control the fortunes of the court according to what he planned in his heart.

After all, the court of the Ming Dynasty is dominated by the civil official group, and if you don't even have a Jinshi fame, it is impossible to really integrate into the civil official group.

If you want to be in a high position and control the court, it is a pipe dream, don't even think about it.

Therefore, don't look at Zhou Chen, who is very calm on the surface, in fact, his heart is not calm.

If not, it would be impossible for Zhou Chen to come directly to the lobby downstairs of the inn after getting the proposal of the sword, waiting for the good news.

"Good news! Zhang Chongshan, the master of Jiangxi Guangxin Mansion, the 114th tribute in the high school examination, congratulations to Master Zhang! ”

"Good news! Li Wentao, the master of Shaoxing Mansion in Zhejiang, the ninety-fifth tribute in the high school entrance examination, congratulations to Master Li"

"Good news! Xu Lichuan, the master of Kaifeng Mansion in Henan, the eighty-second tribute in the high school examination, congratulations to Master Xu! ”

……

Outside the door of the inn, a small official named Baoti came one after another, and they beat gongs and drums while shouting the good news.

The voice was very loud, as if he was afraid that after the voice was quieter, it would cause these new old men to be disgruntled and lose their happy money.

After waiting quietly for an hour or so, Zhou Chen's name finally sounded outside the inn.

"Good news! Zhou Chen, the master of Hanzhong Mansion in Shaanxi, the third tribute in the high school examination, congratulations to Master Zhou! ”

But I saw a large number of people running into the inn in high spirits, beating gongs and drums, playing and singing, making the atmosphere in the venue very warm and cheerful.

"Which one is Master Zhou Chen?"

A small official came out of the procession to announce the good news, and he bowed around the inn lobby, and asked in a respectful voice.

"My son-in-law is here!"

Before Zhou Chen could respond, Badao, who was sitting at the same table as Zhou Chen, immediately stood up, waved and said loudly.

Badao's voice was full of excitement, as if he had been named on his own gold list.

However, it is no wonder that Badao is excited, and now he and Zhou Chen have a close relationship of honor and disgrace.

The higher Zhou Chen's achievements can be, the greater the benefits to Badao itself.

The little official's sharp eyes and sharp ears found the location of Zhou Chen and Domineering, and he ran forward in three steps and two steps.

Although he was very surprised that Zhou Chen was so young, the little official immediately bowed deeply to Zhou Chen.

Immediately afterwards, the little official hurriedly said: "Little congratulations to Master Zhou for high school, and also invite Master Zhou and half a month later to go to the Jinluan Hall to meet Shengyan and participate in the final palace exam." ”

As for whether Zhou Chen was impersonated, the little official didn't have the slightest worry about this.

This will try the spring is an important matter for the entire Ming Dynasty, how can there be such a mistake?

And in front of so many tributes, who would have the courage to pretend to be the third place who would try Chunfu this time?

After receiving the good news from the little official in front of him, although Zhou Chen did not change at all on the surface, he still had a warm smile.

However, there was a long sigh of relief in his heart, as if a big stone that had been pressed in his heart had been completely removed.

"Old Liu, look at the reward!"

After slowly calming down the emotions in his heart, Zhou Chen said with a smile on his face, and Ba Dao hurriedly took out the happy money that had been prepared a long time ago.

Whether it is the little official in front of him, or those who play and sing, beat gongs and drums, everyone has a share.
