Chapter 217: Sweet Distress
Fanning's interview took half an hour, and when Fanning walked out of the main hall, the scholars were going to talk about the pot, and there were all kinds of speculations, if it was really an interview for half an hour, it would set a precedent.
However, when Fanning walked back to his seat, a casual answer immediately dissipated the jealousy in the eyes of most scholars.
"I happened to meet the Son of Heaven to rest, so I waited for a long time."
It turned out that it happened to meet the Son of Heaven to rest, and everyone understood, no wonder they had to wait for so long, and many people's eyes still had a trace of sympathy for Fanning.
This gentleman was very lucky, he almost didn't get the opportunity to be interviewed at first, and now that it was his turn to interview, the Son of Heaven was going to rest again, which was really unlucky.
But the scholar who participated in the interview knew that things were not so simple, if the Son of Heaven wanted to rest, he could end the interview as long as he asked two sentences casually, and it was impossible to reopen the temple for him alone, this kid didn't tell the truth.
Feng Jing knew that in Taishi Pang's mansion back then, the Son of Heaven had seen Fan Ning and liked him very much, and when he saw him again in three years, he must have asked a lot of questions.
"What the hell is the Son of Heaven asking you?" Su Liang asked in a low voice.
A group of boys and scholars next to him all pricked up their ears, and Fan Ning smiled and said: "The Son of Heaven didn't speak, just listened, and Princess Wenxiang asked, first introduce yourself in one sentence, and then let you concisely explain the strategy of enriching the people, and the tea time will be over." ”
"And that made people wait for half an hour?"
"Didn't I just say that? The Son of Heaven wants to rest, and I waited a long time for the interview. ”
"Oh! I almost forgot. ”
While he was talking, someone shouted in a low voice, "They're out!" ”
Everyone looked towards the main hall, only to see a group of officials come out, and an official of the Ministry of Rites ran over first and shouted: "Everyone stand up, come and line up!" ”
The gentlemen left their seats and marched forward to the front of the steps, and soon all five hundred and ninety-six men were lined up.
The soldiers all straightened their waists, their expressions were serious, and the group was silent.
Wen Yanbo unfolded the final admission list and said loudly: "After the state examination, the provincial examination, the palace examination and the interview of the Son of Heaven, the imperial examination of the Great Song Dynasty has been completed, and the current admission list is as follows: three people are admitted to the first list, Ci Jinshi and the first, the first place, Feng Jing, Jiangxia County, Ezhou; second place, Shen Yu, Qiantang County, Hangzhou; Third place, Qian Gongfu of Wujin County, Changzhou, please come out of the palace to thank you! ”
The three scholars were overjoyed, and hurriedly walked out of the queue, and followed Jiang Ying, the waiter of the Left Rite Department, to the palace to thank him, which was really a bit unexpected by the scholars, and the favorite Wang Suizhou did not enter the top three, this time it was the second, fourth and fifth places in the palace examination that clearly won the champion, the list and the flower, I am afraid that the shops will be bleeding.
Wen Yanbo continued to read: "One person was admitted to the Tongzi Division, Fan Ning of Wu County, Pingjiang Prefecture, seventeen people were admitted to the second class of Jinshi Division, Wang Suizhou of Bianliang County, Kaifeng Prefecture, Yuan Shiqing of Jiangdu County, Yangzhou, and Luo Lin of Min County, Fuzhou....... The above eighteen people are from Jinshi, please go to the temple to thank you! ”
Fanning was also overjoyed, although he knew that he would do well in the exam, but he really won the first place in the children's department, and the excitement still made him happy.
He hurriedly walked out of the column, ranked first among the eighteen, and followed the officials of the Ministry of Rites to the temple to thank him.
Wen Yanbo continued to read the list, "The top three admit 100 people, and the current list is as follows, Zhang Qiu, Bianliang County, Kaifeng Prefecture, and Liu Hui, Yingchuan County, Yingzhou....... More than 100 scholars have been given the birth of Jinshi, please go to the temple to thank you! ”
After reading the top three, I won't read the specific list later, Wen Yanbo said simply: "This year's imperial examination admits 596 people, three people on the first list, eighteen people on the second list, and 100 people on the top three list, and the remaining 475 people are all on the second list. ”
In fact, they did not enter the main hall, but only kowtowed outside the hall to thank him, and then went to bathe and change clothes, changed into crimson official uniforms, wore double-winged gauze hats, oblique ribbons, and wore big red flowers on their chests.
After dressing up, everyone was led to the Xuande Gate, where hundreds of horses and dozens of uncovered carriages have been prepared, not every Jinshi can ride a horse, especially the Tongzi Kejinshi, almost no one can ride a horse, and can only take a carriage to praise the street.
Fan Ningmo said that he could not even ride a donkey when riding a horse, he could only ride in a carriage, and he was alone in a carriage, while the others were five people in a carriage, and the carriage was also covered with colorful silk, which looked like a trip in full costume, which was particularly eye-catching.
At this time, the city of Bianliang is full of gongs and drums, planted with colorful flags along the way, hundreds of thousands of people are sandwiched to appreciate the heroic posture of the new science and technology scholars, and the daughters of many large families have also taken the ox cart and carriage out to see the lover in their hearts, it is no wonder that the Great Song Dynasty established the country with literature, and the martial artists did not have this kind of glory, but only the best among the scholars, the new science and technology scholars, in order to enjoy this great glory.
Every Jinshi is drunk, ten years of hard work in the cold window finally in exchange for the most glorious moment of life, when the title of the gold list, for a time the color satin is flying, all kinds of hydrangeas, purses have been thrown to the scholars of the street, hundreds of thousands of people's cheers resounded throughout Bianliang City.
.........
Next is the Qionglin banquet by the Jinming Pond, which is the final climax of the glory of the scholars, and the Son of Heaven sets up a banquet to entertain the new scholars.
Jinming Pond is located outside the West City, Xiande four years, Zhou Shizong in order to crusade against the Southern Tang Dynasty located in the water town, and specially dug an artificial lake for training the water army, the lake area has tens of thousands of acres.
After nearly 100 years of construction in the Song Dynasty, Jinmingchi has become a royal garden with a beautiful environment, the garden is a variety of exquisite buildings, after each imperial examination, the grand Qionglin banquet is held here.
But if you think that the Jinshi who have worked hard all day can eat a big meal at the banquet and rest when they get drunk, it is a big mistake, the Qionglin banquet can indeed drink the best palace wine, and all kinds of delicacies are also rich.
But it is estimated that not many people can eat it, and around the Jinming Pond, the wealthy and powerful people who catch marriages have laid a net, and there is a momentum that they will never give up if they don't catch their son-in-law.
This is what the book's own golden house means, once you are admitted to the Jinshi, there will be a wealthy and powerful family to marry you, and the property of the marriage is at least 100,000 yuan, and the good land and beautiful house are indispensable.
But if there is already a wife and young children in the family, there is no way, unless the wife is divorced and remarried, when a Chen Shimei goes to report to Bao Zheng, otherwise he will miss this huge wealth opportunity in vain.
This is also the reason why scholars in the Song Dynasty generally got married late, what if they were admitted to the Jinshi?
In fact, the boy Ke Jinshi is also not safe, although the Son of Heaven acquiesced to the powerful to catch marriage, but at the same time set three prohibitive rules, not to force a married Jinshi to abandon his wife, not to force marriage, must first get the consent of the Jinshi himself, not to catch the marriage of the boy Ke Jinshi.
However, there are policies and countermeasures, and as long as there is enough temptation, married Jinshi may voluntarily abandon his wife.
As for the boy Kejinshi, if you don't force you to get married, you can always make a marriage contract!
At this Qionglin banquet, every Jinshi was very worried, and Zhao Zhen, the son of heaven, left in a hurry after drinking two glasses of wine.
Some of the magnates in the escort table were already close to the water, and they sat down next to the unmarried jinshi and began to bargain.
Fanning was caught off guard, and a greasy middle-aged uncle sat down beside him as if he had fallen from the sky.
He smiled and said: "In Xia Yang Shou, the official is the assassin of Weizhou and the county of Gaotang, I am very happy to meet Fan Jinshi!" ”
Listening to this official position, you know that it is a role in playing soy sauce in the DPRK, which is a false position at all.
"The predecessor is Tianbo Yang Mansion?"
"No, I'm after the founding general Yang Fu."
Fan Ning can't remember that among the founding generals of the Song Dynasty, there was also Yang Fu, who was estimated to be a nouveau riche in the army.
But it doesn't matter, what matters is what the person wants to do?
Fan Ning immediately vigilantly said: "It's the boy family below, and the court doesn't allow marriage!" ”
"Where did Fan Jinshi go?"
Yang Shou smirked and said: "I have a little daughter, who is eleven years old this year, I plan to marry her 100,000 yuan in the future, 3,000 acres of fertile land, and a beautiful house in the capital, I don't know if Fan Jinshi is willing to have an agreement?" ”
"I'm sorry! I was married a few days ago. ”
"You're engaged?" Yang Shou's eyes widened, "Who do you have a marriage contract with?" ”
"And the granddaughter of Master Pang." Fan Ning pulled Pang Ji over as a shield.
Yang Shou's face suddenly became very ugly, his ancestor was only a middle-level general, and later made a fortune in the grain business, and spent a lot of money to buy the position and title of assassin from the hands of the Empress Dowager Liu, he hid in the woods, and bought off the guards before sneaking into the Qionglin Banquet, where can he afford to provoke Pang Ji with his identity.
He snorted, got up and left, and went back to find his next target.
