Chapter 16 One Door and Three Moves
Wang Jingjing didn't know what medicine she had taken wrongly recently, although she still picked her nose and eyes at Lu Tang and the others, her behavior and speech were much more relaxed.
Although Lu Tang and the others were a little confused, they were happy to see her like this.
A few little ladies chatted for a long time, and only quieted down when they saw Mr. enter the school.
…………
The idle days passed in the blink of an eye, and when the osmanthus flowers bloomed all over the capital, the township test also came to the day of the list.
Lu Fu is also the same as Beppu, and he ordered four or five healthy servants early to stand guard in front of Bangpeng Street when the sky is bright.
When Lu Heng and the others went, it was already dawn. I saw a sea of people near the Bangpeng Street, crowded with thousands of heads, and it was impenetrable.
Because Lu Heng and others are precious, and there is a delicate Lu Tang by his side, he doesn't have to squeeze under the list like those poor children. I only sat in the private room of the teahouse booked nearby, waiting for the servants to deliver the letter.
"Coming, coming!" All I could hear was a commotion below.
Lu Tang sat by the window, looked curiously, and saw a red sedan chair from afar that was hugged by officials and soldiers from the north.
I saw that the vermilion list was solemnly placed in the middle of the sedan chair, and the gongs and drums were beating behind it, which was very lively.
When the sedan chair came to a stop near the entrance of the sedan chair, two servants stepped forward, took the scroll out of the sedan chair, and held it high, followed by two other officials.
Although the surrounding students were excited, they didn't dare to stop it, and coaxed to get out of the way. The four officers descended to Bangpeng Street, surrounded by a group of soldiers.
When they arrived at the release of the list, the first two officials were still holding the list high, and the two officials in the back used a copper pole to carefully hang the scroll on the shadow wall of the list.
"The auspicious time has come, release the list!"
With a clear shout, the two officials removed the pole at the same time, and the scroll more than three meters wide made a loud noise, stretching out in the air like a curtain of water.
Suddenly, in front of the shadow wall, it was as lively as boiling water in a pot - except for you pushing me, crying and scolding your mother, and even some grumpy people moved their hands, and for a while, the list was boiling.
But most of these noisy people are not those who are poor, but those who are rich or powerful, who are strong servants and slaves, or prodigals on the streets.
Needless to say, the servants and slaves are doing their best for the masters.
And those prodigals on the street are just to be the first to see the list, and then go to report the good news to the thin and poor children who can't squeeze in - no matter how poor the students are on weekdays, as long as they know that they have been selected, they will always be overjoyed and generous to give more rewards.
It was only when the first wave of healthy servants and prodigals who watched the list squeezed out of the crowd with joy or annoyance that it was the turn of those poor scholars to make up for it.
Compared with those in front of him, the behavior of the scholar is naturally much more gentle. But after reading the list, the reaction was ten times more intense than that of the healthy servants and slaves.
There are those who are ecstatic, there are those who look forward to self-pride, there are those who howl and cry, there are those who scold the injustice, and there are those who doubt shady. Of course, the most of them are sad and staggered.
Lu Tang was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but take a sip of tea to suppress his shock, Lu Heng, Lu Jiu, and Lu Fang couldn't help but laugh when they looked at their sister's stupid appearance.
"Hit, hit!"
There were several loud annunciations in the lobby of the teahouse, and the scholars who were also sitting in the teahouse waiting for the news couldn't help but look at them with envy, not knowing who was so lucky.
The chaotic sound of going upstairs came, and Lu Tang couldn't help but tense up and sit up straight.
Sure enough, I heard a chaotic and joyful voice: "The three young masters have all been hit!" ”
Before the four or five healthy servants had completely gone upstairs, the sound of good news came first, and Lu Tang suddenly lost his teeth with a smile, and hurriedly ordered Cai Wei and Pu Jia next to him: "Reward!" ”
Lu Heng, Lu Jiu, and Lu Yu couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts at this time.
"The second young master won the Yayuan, the third young master won the Yakui, and the fourth young master won the thirty-second place!" The servant at the head knelt on the ground and replied with his head buttoned, and he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
Pu Jia and Cai Wei held their purses and smiled and rewarded, and said, "Blessed brothers, my wife will definitely reward you when you go back!" ”
Lu Tang only felt that his heart was as sweet as honey - the second brother won the second place, the third brother won the sixth place, and the fourth brother won the thirty-second place, and the Lu family won three lifts at once!
"Have you seen which scholar got this year's Xie Yuan?" Lu Ji smiled, raised his eyebrows slightly, took a sip of tea and asked casually.
"Hui Sangongzi, it's a scholar named Ning Chang." A servant replied with a smile.
"It's him!"
Lu Tang also calmed down from the joy just now at this time, and muttered a little unhappily when he heard Ning Chang's name.
But although she expressed shock and dissatisfaction in her mouth, she was also clear in her heart - except for her brother, the only one who could get the name of the Yuan from among the students was Ning Chang.
"That Ning Gongzi is really talented and talented." Lu Heng smiled warmly.
"It seems that there is another romantic figure in this capital." The fourth son of the Lu family, Lu Fang's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his porcelain-white face had a slight shy smile, which was as refreshing and beautiful as a green pine and jade bamboo.
At this time, the students on Bangpeng Street outside gradually dispersed, although the atmosphere was still very warm, and the voices of sadness, joy, sighs and scolding were endless, but the road was much looser after all.
Lu Heng looked at the situation outside, then greeted his younger brothers and sisters with a smile, and returned to the house with the maids.
Lu Fuzhong had already gotten the news - when the servants reported to Lu Heng and others, they also sent one person out to report the good news.
At this time, Mrs. Lu and her two aunts, Zhang and Liu, were waiting in the hall with joy, and there were servants in the house who were decorated with red and green decorations, all with smiles on their faces.
"The young masters are back!" A little girl hurriedly came to report.
The house became more lively, Mrs. Lu and the two aunts hurried to the main gate to greet them, Lu Wu and Lu Liu also changed into new clothes, and followed Mrs. Lu with a happy face.
When Lu Heng and a few people got off the carriage, the servants waiting at the main gate came up to say hello, and some healthy servants set off firecrackers on both sides of the alley.
"Reward!" Mrs. Lu smiled in her eyes and waved her hand.
Next to Mingyue, the two big girls brought a group of little maids, each smiling and holding a tray full of silver and copper coins and scattering around.
Because the Lu family has always been generous and bold, in addition to the domestic slaves, there are also many idlers who have heard the news to receive the reward, and the alley is very lively for a while, and the sound of joy is endless.
Lu Heng and the three of them were surrounded by everyone, with a smile on their faces, and they nodded in return and ran into the main entrance.
Seeing this, Mrs. Lu and the others no longer cared about the scene at the door, and smiled and pulled a few people to the lobby.
