As with the college entrance examination, the teachers who revise the papers after the college entrance examination can be said to be working overtime to correct the test papers, while ensuring efficiency, they must also use the fastest speed to make the results of the college entrance examination appear in front of everyone as soon as possible.

The same is true for the examiners, but compared to the huge number of candidates in the college entrance examination, the number of students who take the exam is much smaller.

Similarly, there are far fewer judges.

But unlike the gaokao, they censor the articles, this kind of subjective initiative is something that is very active.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts.

Unlike jousting, which can distinguish between superior and inferior, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people.

So the definition of a good article is different in everyone's eyes.

Therefore, even though there are only a few thousand people's examination papers, it is also an extremely huge project for the judges.

However, there is an orderly judgment of the papers, and in the process of determining the ranking, the final result of this examination has finally come to an end.

In the fifteenth year of Zhengde, February 29.

This day also happens to be the day when the trial list will be released.

Countless candidates who have taken the examination are looking forward to this day, after all, this is definitely the moment that determines their fate for the candidates who take the examination.

If they can stand out in the examination, then they are quasi-jinshi.

You must know that the temple test has never been dethroned.

As long as you pass the exam, you can achieve the top spot.

Even if they don't perform well in the palace exam, they are still a Jinshi title.

Therefore, at this time, in front of the Shuntian Gongyuan in the capital, countless candidates are waiting for the moment when the list is released.

However, compared with the ordinary county examination, the government examination, the hospital examination, and even the township examination that has been entered into the classroom.

The form of this test is a little different.

On this day, those candidates who came to the capital to take the exam.

They will not go to the Gongyuan to see the list in person, although this release of the list is a major event related to the fate of their lives, but for every candidate, they are already a person.

In this era, it can be regarded as a person with status and status.

In this case, even if those scholars want to go to the scene and know their results for the first time, they must also take care of their own identity.

In layman's terms, it's about pretending.

It is necessary to show that you do not want fame and fortune.

So most of these candidates stayed in their own inns, or they were waiting in the hall.

You must know that since the Yang Dynasty, the imperial examination system in the Central Plains has been carried out for many years, so a chain of relevant interests has already been formed.

Therefore, when the list has not yet been officially posted, there will already be reporters from all parties.

These people are good at drilling camps, and they are in collusion with the people in the Gongyuan.

As long as the Gongyuan is on the list to fill in a name, the name of the scholar who won it, and the place of origin.

and their residences in the capital will be conveyed to the reporter as soon as possible.

By this time, the people who had reported it would come to the trouble.

They would send someone to report the news, as they did in the township test.

These people who are responsible for reporting the news, they will beat gongs and drums, blow suona, and throw firecrackers.

Hurry as fast as you can to the place where the scholar is.

They are chasing money, so they are all very positive and excited.

You must know that those who hear that they have been selected, as long as they receive the good news from these people.

Under the excitement, it is natural to be generous one by one.

Even if they didn't take the exam, they were still a person.

Poor talents, rich people.

Poor and sour talents and lifting people, these are two classes.

Once you can be lifted, there will be a squire who will be shameless and pasted on it.

Just like Fan Jinzhongju, those squires were in a hurry to give money and gifts to the people in the middle lift.

And their shots are generally quite generous.

If you are a scholar who lifts people, there is a family behind them or something.

At this time, the family will jump out and give money and make efforts.

"No one asks if you are poor in the downtown area, but you have distant relatives in the mountains!"

That's what I'm talking about.

Although this sounds very snobbish, isn't the so-called hot and cold world like this?

So once you win the lift, the bad money will not be bad.

And if they are selected in the examination, it will be a tribute.

Even if they belong to the crane tail among the tributes, as long as they are hit.

They will not be dethroned in the palace examination, and they are also the top three jinshi.

Compared with the identity of the lifter, the Jinshi is even more noble and extraordinary.

And to be a jinshi is definitely to be an official, so they are not bad for money!

Although there is a saying of "noble son of a poor family", whether it is the current era or the future generations.

The phrase "noble son from a poor family" is just a comforting word to comfort the majority of ordinary people.

It is difficult to come out of a poor family, and it is the reality of this world.

After all, in this day and age, reading books costs money, and it costs a lot of money.

Reading all the way up, the money spent is huge.

And to be able to provide some scholars with the Jinshi examination, the amount of money spent is even more staggering.

Therefore, generally speaking, the scholars who can be promoted to the rank of scholar, their families do not say that they have a lot of money, and they are not short of money.

Therefore, these messengers often only need to say some auspicious words very flatteringly, and they can get a lot of money from the hands of these scholars.

If you meet those sons and brothers who are already rich and noble, it will be terrible.

Only a few leaks from the hands of these rich and noble sons and sons are enough to feed a large group of people.

That's why these people are so active.

After all, "the world is big, bustling, all for profit, all for profit!" ”

There is nothing profitable, and no one will bother to do it.

At this time, the sky is not yet fully bright.

But most of the scholars who were so excited that they couldn't sleep, were already out of bed.

These scholars stayed in the inns, their residences, and the guild halls, waiting for the news of the release of the rankings.

At this time, in the capital tribute courtyard.

Countless officials are like ants on a hot pot, one by one still busy and busy.

As for the scribes outside the Dragon Gate of the Gongyuan, they also stood on tiptoe and looked inside.

They are all waiting for the moment when the list will come.

It can be said that at this time, it is not only those who are anxious to jump their feet.

These scribes are also looking forward to the moment when the list is released.

Just when everyone was looking forward to the list in the examination, a voice came out of the Gongyuan, "The list is released, the list is released!" ”

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Immediately one of them followed, and he said to the crowd, "Ding Chouke will take the three hundred and second place in the examination. ”

After hearing this person's voice, the two officials immediately dipped their pens in gold ink and immediately filled in the list.

Fill in the list with gold ink, this is the real title of the gold list!

After the list they wrote down was stamped with a big seal, it was also sent to the Ministry of Rites for posting.

However, at the same time as the Gongyuan was filling in the list, the reporters who were anxiously waiting on the side got this information.

These people just need to get the name and the relevant information.

Someone will write their name on a piece of paper and send it out quickly in the form of a good news.

"Liujia Lane, Huguang Hecheng Mansion, Liu Zhengchun!"

As the man's singing and harmony fell, the crowd immediately got ready.

The sound of firecrackers crackled, followed by the sound of gongs and drums.

The elated messenger set out on his journey at great speed.

As for the people in the capital, although they are not surprised by the scene in front of them, they love to watch the excitement is a common problem that people can't change in their lives.

So after hearing the sound of "crackling" firecrackers, these ordinary people in the capital naturally poked their heads out one by one and watched the messenger walk quickly in a certain direction.

At the same time, when the messenger arrived at the residence of the prospective scholar, he would convey the good news in the loudest voice.

"Good news, good news!"

"Master of Jibei Mansion, Liu Shoumin, the high school will take the 288th tribute."

"On the Jinluan Palace, face the saint!"

I saw that the fast horse was the first to run over, and the team of reporters who followed him sounded gongs and drums.

They set off many firecrackers at the same time, and for a while the firecrackers rang out, and the front of the entire inn was extremely lively.

At this time, the people who were watching on the sidelines also discussed: "Hit, the people of northern Hebei are lost, this person is blessed, and he will be born as a Jinshi in the future, I am really envious." ”

"If you can't envy it, you are from a Jinshi background, and your official position will definitely not be low, which is something that civilians like me can't expect in my life."

"These are all species that can be born to read, how can we have this ability, we can only envy and envy!"

"If my child can have such a day in the future, it will be really glorious!"

Listening to the loud voice that came, although the crowd of people were all calm, it could be easily seen from their micro-expressions that most of these people were just trying to calm down.

After all, this is a matter of their lifetime, and it is also a corner of their destiny.

At the moment, the weather is still very cold.

But due to excessive tension, there are still people who sweat profusely, and some people can't stop swinging.

This swing is naturally not caused by the cold, but by excessive tension.

At this time, Huang Tinghui was different from everyone else, he was invited by Tang Zihu, and now he is waiting in this Jiangsu-Zhejiang guild hall.

After all, Huang Tinghui is the Duke of Xie Yuan of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mansions, and he waits here with many scholars, which can enhance the relationship with other people.

This is the connection between the township parties.

However, compared with many nervous scholars, Huang Tinghui seems much calmer.

At this time, Huang Tinghui was eating a bun on his mouth, and a bowl of tofu brain was placed not far from him.

Eating steamed buns and drinking tofu brains, Huang Tinghui looked into the distance as if watching a play.

"Tinghui, how do you eat salty tofu brains?"

"Tofu brain is sweet, isn't there no honey in the store?"

"Add some honey to this tofu brain, and the taste will be better!"

Watching Huang Tinghui eat salted tofu brains, Tang Zihu, who was born in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mansions, immediately quit.

Just when Tang Zihu wanted to replace Huang Tinghui with sweet tofu brain, he was stopped by Huang Tinghui.

"Don't, don't!"

"Zihu, didn't I come here all of a sudden?"

"I heard that northerners eat salty tofu brains, so I'm waiting here today to taste what they call salty tofu brains!"

"It's a change of taste!"

Huang Tinghui said to Tang Zihu with a smile.

Regarding Huang Tinghui's explanation, Tang Zihu was also quite helpless.

However, he couldn't remove the tofu brain that Huang Tinghui was eating.

Looking at the movements of Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu, the people in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mansion Hall shook their heads one by one.

In a situation like this, you can still discuss what to eat.

That's really a bullish character.

They can't learn.

"Good news for the master of Jibei, Yang Zhigao, the 280th tribute in the high school examination."

"The upper saint of the Jinluan Temple!"

I could only hear the reporter shouting loudly to the surrounding people at the top of his voice.

This loud voice can be easily heard even if it is two streets away.

After all, the reporter also takes money, but can't it be that those old men who won the game have a light on their faces and are ruthlessly vain?

When his voice shouted loudly, others were naturally able to listen to the name he shouted.

At that time, everyone looked at each other, and it was the highlight of a Jinshi master's life.

It can be said that these people who report are also human spirits, and they have a proper grasp of people's psychology.

Sure enough, after hearing the voice of the reporter, everyone showed extremely envious expressions.

"If I can win, then it will be good!"

"This time, I will try, I will do my best, do my best, and listen to the destiny of God!"

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, this ranking was also set early, there will be no changes because of our nervousness, we will know later!"

There were envy and self-comfort, but they all stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction of the one who had reported it.

The person who reported this report was able to get so many lifters, and many of them were the attention of the Jinshi master.

It can be said that this is also the highlight of his life.

"Good news to the master of Huguang Mansion, Yu Zhenchen, the twenty-fifty-third tribute in the high school examination."

"The upper saint of the Jinluan Temple!"

……

"Good news to the lord of Sichuan Shu Mansion, Zhang Mingjing, the twenty-thirty-third tribute in the high school examination."

"The upper saint of the Jinluan Temple!"

……

"Good news to the master of Huguang Mansion, Liu Zhen Jinzhong, the one hundred and eighty-third tribute in the high school examination."

"The upper saint of the Jinluan Temple!"

……

"Good news Jiangnan Mansion master, Li Zhenzhongren, the one hundred and sixty tributes in the high school examination."

"The upper saint of the Jinluan Temple!"

More and more people reported for the record, and the anxiously waiting scholars became more and more nervous.

After all, the number of Jinshi is only about 300, and the reduction of the number of places does not mean that their opportunities are getting fewer and fewer?

Especially those scholars who think they are playing average, their faces already have a look of frustration.

Not even the tail of the crane, what chance do they have of being on the list?

Just when everyone's thoughts and thoughts were different, those who recorded the newspapers beat gongs and drums passed by the gates of the state capitals.

At the same time, only the sound of "bang bang bang" and "bang bang bang" could be heard.

Fireworks were set off in front of the hall.

The brilliant fireworks are fleeting, but they push the atmosphere to the extreme.

Those candidates who won were excited, and they kept arching their hands to other scholars and responding to other people's congratulations.

Looking at this colorful fireworks, these people only feel that this is the most proud moment of their lives.

After the palace test is over, they will have to see the flowers of the capital overnight.

"Congratulations, congratulations, Brother Zimin is going to wait one step ahead of me!"

"Brothers, thank you very much!"

Such voices appeared everywhere, and the faces of those scholars were filled with excitement.

But a few are happy and a few are sad!

Especially in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Hall where Huang Tinghui is now.

"At the moment, there is no one in my Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces on the list!"

"If something really goes wrong, I'll be made fun of by the other guild people!"

A scholar said anxiously.

This gentleman probably knew that he had no hope of being on the list, but in this era, the township party was extremely united.

Therefore, when there is no one on the list in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mansion Hall, this person will be so nervous.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry!"

"My Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have always been full of talents, so it is more likely to appear in a higher position!"

"Wouldn't that be better?"

Immediately after the man finished speaking, a voice came.

"Good news for the lord of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mansion, Chen Zhiyunzhong, the one hundred and twelfth tribute in the high school examination."

"The upper saint of the Jinluan Temple!"

……

"Good news for the lord of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mansion, Gong Zhen will be retained, and the high school will be the one hundred and eleventh tribute soldier."

"The upper saint of the Jinluan Temple!"

……

"Good news for the lord of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mansion, Zhao Zhenziren, the one hundred and sixty tributes in the high school examination."

"The upper saint of the Jinluan Temple!"

The mouth of the man who spoke just now seemed to be opened, and he had not been finished for a long time.

There were three good news coming from this side.

For a while, several scholars on the list were dumbfounded, and the other scholars were even more confused.

"This brother, borrow your Chrysostom to open, if your Chrysostom opens, I can be on the list, I will cover all the expenses of your coming to the capital!"

Immediately, a soldier patted his chest and assured the man.

The other scholars were also not to be outdone, "This brother, you are really a god, too god!" ”

"As soon as Brother Tai Chrysostom comes, I'll let us get a taste of this luck!"

"And me, and me, brother, if I can make the list, I'll give you another five hundred taels of silver!"

For a while, the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mansion Hall was lively.

However, everyone's focus is not on the three scholars who made the list, but on the people who are talking about it.

This kind of Chrysostom must be like opening the light.

Aren't the people here to get a taste of this joy?

Even the three quasi-jinshi masters who were on the list couldn't cry or laugh when they saw this scene.

……
