The sound of gongs and drums sounded all the way from the entrance of the prefect's mansion to the gate of the palace. It attracts a lot of people who watch the excitement.

"Why is this Wang family beating gongs and drums again, and someone in their family is being promoted again?"

"Speaking of which, this palace is really strange, last year their family's master was admitted to the Jinshi again, and he was going to the capital to select an official position, but he was stunned."

"Hey, how could I have heard of that?"

In the 22 counties and 36 cities of Dachang, Wangbei County can also rank in the top five, and Fucheng is the best in the whole county.

But the palace is famous in the city, and it also originated in August last year, when the only master of the Wang family returned to the city, and the people who saw it said that the master must have landed in the imperial examination and failed to obtain the jinshi.

But not long after, everyone heard that the old man had won the Jinshi!

Wang Chuangui went to Wanning City full of confidence, thinking in his heart that he would definitely not be able to compare with those who had studied hard for more than ten years, and he couldn't get the top three, and it was not bad to get the second class.

didn't think that after the list was released, he only got a top three jinshi, and he was two or three places short, and he fell off the list directly!

Wang Chuangui was deeply shocked, and even Ma Shi and the new scholar who bought him specially bought him were not able to comfort him.

As soon as he thought of returning to Fucheng, his wife would definitely roll her eyes and say to him: "I knew that you were useless, but I didn't expect that it would be so useless, and you would have the face to come back to see me after taking the top three exams?" Your face isn't much thinner than a city wall! ”

After taking the second grade, you can be selected and appointed as an official immediately, usually a seven-grade county order, which is better than a nine-grade pseudo-county order bought by donation, but it is also more difficult to climb up.

It's difficult, but it's not that there is no chance, gritting your teeth, working hard, and climbing to the fourth grade.

But if you pass the top three, then the Qingyun Road in this life will be able to climb to the sixth grade at most, and the top of the sky will be from the fifth grade.

Then how can you ask your mother for her life?

Not only that, but he also wanted to ask Tao Niang for a wife, his wife has been by his side for many years, and he has worked a lot, and he also wants to give her a real gratitude.

The name of Mrs. Destiny is more real than any sweet words.

But he failed the test!

"I'll ask if I can retake the exam." That night, Wang Chuangui went out with red eyes.

On the second day, the students of Wanning City found that the original number of places on the list had changed, and one person's name was eliminated.

After inquiring again, I found out that a person who was born in a poor family took the initiative to give up this fame and asked to retake the exam three years later.

Because he was dissatisfied with his ranking, he gave up his fame in the imperial examination, which is the first person in ancient times!

You must know that the difficulty of the imperial examination will only increase year by year, and there will never be fewer candidates, and all the candidates from the county town go to Wanning City, adding up to several thousand.

These thousands of people are all local leaders, and there are many of them who are proud of the sky, but they only take the top 200.

Winning the test is strength and luck.

When Wang Chuangui returned home, he told Mrs. Wang about it, thinking that it would cause scolding, but she never thought that Mrs. Wang would even hook the corners of her lips.

"Well, it's not hopeless." There is no mention of Wang Chuangui's abandonment of the exam.

Wang Chuangui inexplicably got a compliment (self-righteous compliment), the whole person was dizzy, ran to share it with Ma, and asked the old Wang Tou.

"Dad, does my mother have high hopes for me again, does she also think that my son and I can still get a top three exam in three years?"

At this time, the old king was in the room, and a huge stone was placed on the table, and he was striking with a hammer.

After hearing this, he didn't raise his head: "No, it's just that you have to bring back the fame of a third-class tail, and your mother may remove you from the household registration book." ”

Wang Chuangui's smile froze: "...... It's not that serious, is it? ”

"It's a shame."

Abandon the fame, the most outside laughs at him for being stupid, if he comes back with fame, he will laugh at their entire Wang family.

The old lady can't stand it.

Wang Chuangui: "......"

Having said that, a group of people beat gongs and drums and came to the gate of the palace, but the self-contained Wang Chuangui didn't hear it at all.

Wang Erlang and Jiang Wujing, who stayed at home, were the first to go outside, but they saw someone carrying a big thing covered with a red cloth.

It was frighteningly tall, and there was more than one piece, and there was a huge crowd of people, all carrying something similar.

Wang Erlang looked confused: "What is this?" ”

The person who walked in the front was almost smiling with a bad smile: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to the palace!" ”

Wang Erlang hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask where does Xi come from?" ”

"Do you still have elders in your family?" But the man did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

"Yes, the official family will wait a minute, and the slave family will go and call the grandmother over immediately." Jiang Wujing recognized the badge on the person's body, and knew that this person had an official position, and immediately turned back to the house to call Mrs. Wang and the others.

At this moment, there is already a large group of people at the gate of the palace, and everyone wants to see what is going on.

When Mrs. Wang and the others arrived, she only glanced at it, then turned her head to Wang Shilang, who was guarding the side, and said, "Let your father come out and set up an incense case." ”

Wang Chuangui was in the academy, naturally he also learned all kinds of etiquette, and when he heard that he was going to put an incense case, he knew that it was not a trivial matter, so he hurriedly went to clean it up.

After instructing Wang Chuangui, Mrs. Wang asked Jiang Wujing and Zhou Chuchu to prepare the red seal together.

There are some prepared at home, and the old lady specially told her to pack an extra big one.

Jiang Wujing is currently a slightly more knowledgeable person in the family, and knows what grade of red seal is the best, and Zhou Chuchu knows what is richer, and the two are naturally better matched.

The person at the head saw that the Wang family was so knowledgeable, and secretly said in his heart: It is a family with vision, no wonder it can raise such an excellent child.

After everyone was ready, the leader stood at the gate of the palace and said: "Emperor Minghua's dictation: Dongyue City is difficult, and when it comes to misfortune, the four virtuous sons of the Wang family, Prince Lang, Wang Zizhao, Wang Zilan, and Wang Ruyu, are sensitive and beneficial, and they are not chaotic in danger...... In addition to the chaos meritorious, the special gift of 'loyal and brave' archway, a pair of jade Ruyi, a blood coral tree, and a copy of the imperial book、...... To show the descendants, admire this! ”

Mrs. Wang did not kneel down, stepped forward to receive the seal, and by the way, she stuffed a big red seal for this person.

The man pinched the thickness of the red seal, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and didn't care about the little things that this old lady didn't know the rules.

After reciting the oracle, everyone tore off the red cloth, and everyone found that it was really the top structure of the archway.

It's all made of stone!

As long as you build a base at the bottom, you can use it directly.

But everyone made a difficulty: "Where is this archway going to stand?" ”

Mrs. Wang pointed to a large open space outside the door and said, "It's right here." ”

"Grandma, but there are two more families on this street, not ours, and they directly occupy the street, isn't it?"

I didn't think about it, but the two families jumped out directly: "It's good, it's good, just stand here!" ”

Another family said: "No, no, no, I think this place is a little narrower, why don't you tear down the gate of my house and move it back to make room?!" ”

Everyone: "......"

Wang Family: "......"
