In the end, the Ministry of Rites did not raise any objections, and directly stamped the approval seal on the admission list, resealed and sent it to the palace, and after the approval of the Son of Heaven, it was notified to the liaison inns by a special person early tomorrow morning.

As for the official list, it will not be announced in front of the entrance of the examination institute until the day after tomorrow, and at that time, except for the candidates who need to be confirmed, the vast majority of candidates will not come to see the list.

The time of the palace examination was also arranged immediately, and the time of the palace examination this year was relatively early, and ten days later, the candidates who were admitted to the provincial examination participated in the palace examination.

Shen Kuan returned to the examination court worriedly, at this time the examination court had been disbanded for more than half of the examination papers, and there were only five hundred and ninety-six examination papers for the palace examination, so there was no need for so many officials, and twenty examination officers were enough.

"What's wrong?" Ouyang Xiu saw that Shen Kuan's face was a little wrong, so he asked the reason.

Shen Kuan sighed and told Ouyang Xiu what happened today.

Ouyang Xiu was stunned for a moment, the Ministry of Rites actually raised doubts about Fan Ning!

For decades, the Ministry of Rites has never raised any doubts about the list of the Examination Papers, it is a form of walking, and today it is unprecedented to raise a doubt, which is actually aimed at Fanning.

This suddenly made Ouyang Xiu vigilant, and he suddenly realized that someone was going to use Fan Ning to beat Fan Zhongyan, and today was just the beginning, and there must be follow-up actions.

He had to get the word out before locking up the hospital again.

At this time, the examiners were packing their bags and preparing to go home, and Ouyang Xiu only left twenty examiners to participate in the palace examination.

However, it is not possible to leave now, and it will not be until tomorrow after the release of the list, the gate of the examination court will be opened for one day, and some of the examination officials will be evacuated.

Ouyang Xiu wrote a note, and tomorrow his wife will send someone to deliver something, and this note can be taken back at the right time.

．．．．．．．

As soon as it was dawn, Fanning was awakened by a sharp knock on the door.

"Fanning, hurry up and get up, it's going to be released today!" Su Liang shouted loudly outside the door.

"Got it!"

Fanning muttered, but had to get up with difficulty, he opened the door, and saw that the sky was still half light and half dark, and a crescent moon was still in the sky.

He was a little annoyed and said, "What are you anxious about?" It's not dawn yet! ”

He yawned and walked slowly into the house, "I'll sleep for half an hour!" ”

"You can still sleep?"

Su Liang grabbed Fan Ning's arm and dragged him into the yard, "I've already bought breakfast, you freshen up, let's leave after breakfast, you can't squeeze into the inn if you're late!" ”

Fan Ning was pulled by him, his feet were unstable, and he almost fell, it seemed that there was no chance to sleep, Fan Ning had to glare at Su Liang, and helplessly went to the well to wash his face and brush his teeth.

．．．．．．．．．

After breakfast, the sky was already bright, and under Su Liang's repeated urging, Fan Ning and Su Liang came to the old Caomen Inn not far from their residence.

As the saying goes, 'Mo Daojun walks early, and there are more early pedestrians', thousands of people have gathered in front of the old Caomen Inn at this time, and there are countless candidates coming from all directions.

"I said it would be too late if I didn't come!"

Su Liang complained in a low voice: "You see that you can't squeeze into the inn at all now, you can only stand outside." ”

Fanning snorted, "Could it be that the messenger came out of the inn?" ”

Su Liang was speechless, and said half-loudly: "Don't drill the horns like this, it's okay, anyway, we're too late." ”

Fan Ning and Su Liang found a corner with a little less people, the few people are just relatively speaking, there are still dozens of people crowded here, and as there are more and more people, Fan Ning and Su ** will soon be put in the corner, and there is an indescribable sense of depression.

There are constantly vendors outside shouting, "Fresh baked pancakes, freshly baked pancakes!" ”

"Sugar gourd, fragrant and sweet sugar gourd!"

"Look at the hexagram, the iron mouth will cut off the future, as long as ten cents!"

．．．．．．．

They waited for half an hour, and even Su Liang realized that he had indeed come too early, and the guilt on his face was almost unbearable.

"I'm going to buy sugar gourds!" The heart of atonement made Su Liang squeeze out unusually bravely. ”

He bought two strings of sugar gourds and was about to go back, only to find Fanning behind him.

"Why did you come out too?"

"Nonsense, isn't it just that you can't squeeze it out, and since you squeeze it out, what am I still doing in it?"

Su Liang scratched his head, he found that he was getting more and more stupid.

Fanning took a string of sugar gourds and pointed across the street, "Let's go and wait on the other side!" ”

Everyone has a fixed thinking, saying that the old Caomen Inn is the contact point for the imperial examination, and almost everyone is crowded at the door of the inn, for fear of missing the annunciation procession, while the opposite side of the street is empty, and there is almost no one.

In fact, the messenger came from the north, and there was no head on the other side of the street, but he could see more clearly, and the distance was only twenty or thirty paces.

"It's still empty here!"

Su Liang gnawed on the sugar gourd and smiled: "This is empty and comfortable, why do you have to squeeze together?" ”

"Do you want to change some change for the two petty officials?"

Business people are everywhere, and a middle-aged man who carries the burden stepped forward and said with a smile: "I'll be on the list later, but I want to give up money for a treat." ”

The middle-aged man's words immediately reminded Su Liang that he only brought a few taels of silver, and he really didn't expect to bring some copper coins out.

"How do you exchange money?"

"One tael of silver for eight hundred dollars!"

Su Liang jumped up, "You are so dark, you want to earn us two hundred wen!" ”

Fan Ning pulled Su Liang over and waved his hand at the middle-aged man, "We haven't even finished the exam papers, how can we be on the list, you think too highly of us, we don't need to change money!" ”

Su Liang also woke up a little, and hurriedly said that he would not change the money, and the middle-aged man saw that they refused to be fooled, so he had to scold and leave.

When the middle-aged man walked away, Su Liang asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Fanning sneered, "Even if a tael of silver is exchanged for a thousand dollars, he will make a lot of money!" ”

Su Liang was stunned, "Why?" ”

A tael of silver is exchanged for a thousand dollars, what's the problem?

Fanning shook his head, "Didn't you see that the basket he picked was full of iron money?" ”

Su Liang suddenly realized that one copper coin could be exchanged for two iron coins, and this bastard just said that one or two silver coins could be exchanged for eight hundred coins, but he didn't say whether it was copper coins or iron coins.

Su Liang scolded angrily, "Liar, your conscience has been eaten by a dog!" Doing this kind of thing will cut off the offspring! ”

Fan Ning stopped his scolding and said to him with a smile: "There are so many people, can you send money?" At most, give the annunciator a little broken silver, if you really want to give it, you can give me ten taels of silver. ”

"Go! You are much richer than me, why should you give it to you? ”

"You've been admitted to the Jinshi, won't you give it to me?"

Su Liang gritted his teeth with hatred, "You bastard, you're taunting me again, when will I be admitted to the Jinshi?" Whether you are admitted to the Jinshi or not, I will not give you a penny. ”

The two talked and laughed, and waited for about a quarter of an hour, when a rumbling drum sounded from the direction of the imperial city, and all the scholars were in good spirits, and the team that reported the good news finally came out.

After a while, the sound of artillery rang out from the north, which came from the direction of the Neibei Street Inn, which meant that someone had won the list.

Although there is no ranking in the provincial examination, as long as you pass the examination, it means that the worst is also given to the same Jinshi background, and you will be directly awarded an official, and you can also be a county magistrate without a background background.

How can you make people excited?

At this time, a team of announcers came from the north, four or five announcers beat gongs and drums, wore red and black-edged auspicious clothes, hats with hairpins, high report good news, and the leading officials held the big red good news.

It is not a group of good news officials who run alone, but a batch of people who come out, and each group of good news officials has to run more than a dozen inns.

"Good news!"

The official shouted the good news, and was immediately surrounded by more than 3,000 soldiers.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

The surroundings were suddenly silent, and the good news official shouted loudly: "Zhangqu High School Gold List of Nanyang County, Dengzhou!" ”

A cheer erupted from a corner, and a scholar was seen held high.

The annunciation officer said loudly again: "Yu Xiaowen High School Gold List in Yuyao County, Yuezhou!" ”

There was another round of cheers and applause.

"There are two in Pingjiang Mansion below!"

Fan Ning and Su Liang immediately pricked up their ears, only to hear the annunciation official shouting: "Meng Tong of Kunshan County, Pingjiang Prefecture, Zhang Chao of Wujiang County, Pingjiang Prefecture!" ”

There were cheers from the periphery, and the annunciation official put away the list and smiled at everyone: "There are only four scholars from the old Caomen Inn on my side, and there will be many in the future, and the four middle list scholars please come up." ”

The four Zhongbang scholars were surrounded by people, and the good news officer took out four admission notices and handed them to the four people: "Let's check the exam number, so as not to make a mistake with the same name and surname!" ”

The four of them checked the exam number, and they all took out money and stuffed it to the good news officer, who smiled and accepted it one by one, and then beat the gong and drum, and everyone ran to the next contact inn.
