Chapter 181: The First Name
In addition, Bai Jing was designed by himself and assigned to the kind of environment with a stinky number, how could he be able to settle down to answer the test papers.
So it's not a sure thing that he's not on the list?
"A merchant, who is a lowly person, still wants to take the imperial examination, and it is humiliating for you to stay with us scholars."
Speaking of this, Wang Xuan showed a mocking smile.
Seeing him like this, Bai Jing became even more angry in his heart.
Gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, he was about to slap the table and stand up.
Although he is a merchant, who stipulates that a merchant cannot participate in the imperial examination?
It's just that before he could speak, Meng Lianyi on the side took the lead in speaking: "Young Master Wang, I remember that the law of this dynasty did not say that merchants were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, and because the merchants of this dynasty made a lot of contributions when they were founded, the first emperor encouraged merchants to take the imperial examination when he was alive, Wang Gongzi, do you think we should listen to what you say, or listen to the first emperor?" ”
As he spoke, Meng Lianyi chuckled lightly and looked at Wang Xuan pretending to be puzzled.
Hearing Meng Lianyi say this, Wang Xuan's face instantly stiffened.
He just habitually said it, after all, no matter how the royal family supported merchants to participate in the imperial examination in the court, but among ordinary people, merchants were still lowly.
That's why he said that there was no burden.
didn't expect Meng Lianyi to use the deceased emperor to gag his mouth.
As we all know, the saints of the pilgrimage respected the emperor the most, and the emperors who left behind the edicts of the emperor strictly abided by each one.
If someone really spreads the news that they don't respect the emperor, then not only will they be finished, but even their royal family will be finished.
After all, no matter how powerful his father is, he is just a county magistrate of a county, and Jiupin Sesame is not a state, so he can only be powerful in Qingshui County, a one-acre and three-point land.
If someone with a heart really spread the word about it, it would not be enough for the big man to die single-handedly.
Thinking of this, Wang Xuan's face became ugly.
After glaring at Bai Wanning fiercely, he gritted his teeth and said:
"That's not what Young Master Ben meant."
"And what do you mean?" Meng Lianyi asked rhetorically.
Wang Xuan didn't speak, and his face was very ugly.
After a long time, he flicked his sleeves and went out directly.
"That's it, since there is no vacant place here, Young Master Ben is leaving, so the restaurant is not worthy of Young Master Ben."
Hearing him say this, the spectators on the first floor couldn't help but laugh.
It was at this moment that suddenly there was a cheer from the crowd outside.
"The list is out, the list is out."
"What's going on? Why did the list come out so quickly, didn't it say that it would be a while? ”
For a while, everyone didn't care about doing anything else, so they hurriedly got up from their seats and ran outside.
After a while, the streets outside became more congested.
And Mo Xiuran and Wang Xuan quickly glanced at each other after hearing the news, and finally Wang Xuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said to his mother and Meng Lianyi:
"Mother, Aunt Meng, Mo Xiuran and I are going to see the list, but if it is on the list, we will come over and tell you two the good news, and you two are waiting for our news here."
As he spoke, he pointed to the second floor.
My mother and Aunt Meng are two women, and it would not be good if they were allowed to go out and crowd in case they were injured.
Meng Lianyi didn't have any opinion on his words.
So after thinking about it, I felt that there was no problem, so I nodded and agreed.
The two of them immediately rushed to the place where the list was posted.
And the county yamen suddenly opened at this time.
Then several officials came out of it, all of them were holding a piece of red paper in their hands, and the red paper was densely filled with people's names, and everyone was very worried when they looked at those names, and they all wanted to see if their names were on it.
At this moment, the crowd suddenly erupted in a cheer of surprise.
"Ah, I'm on the list, I've passed, I've passed."
Although it was only the first game, he was also very happy.
I saw someone find their name on the list.
Bai Jing was even more excited, and immediately grabbed Mo Xiuran's hand and said, "Mo Xiuran, let's go up and take a look, maybe our name is also on the list." ”
Hearing him say this, Wang Xuan sneered on the side.
"It's up to you, and you want to pass the exam too? It's really wishful thinking, and I'll tell you the truth, it's impossible for people like you to pass the test. ”
Hearing him say this, Bai Jing chuckled in his heart, wondering if the other party would do something on the exam papers, causing the two of them not to pass the exam.
But after thinking about it, I feel that it is a little impossible, even if the other party is the son of the county magistrate, but this exam is presided over by the county magistrate himself, is it possible that they can still cheat what the county magistrate does?
Thinking of this, Bai Jing calmed down.
Mo Xiuran looked at him nervously, and patted Bai Jing's back comfortingly, and said:
"Don't worry, it's just his words, we just need to do our own thing."
With that, he glanced ahead, then walked briskly forward.
When Wang Xuan saw him like this, he immediately followed.
The two of them are young, and they are also young, so it is not too difficult to squeeze around in the crowd.
Seeing that the two of them didn't believe their words, Wang Xuan snorted coldly.
Don't cry when you don't see the coffin, and when they look at the list, they want to see what else the two can say.
Thinking of this, Wang Xuan kicked the servant beside him again, and said:
"What are you still doing in a daze, squeeze the people in front of me out of the way, and this young master wants to see the names on the list."
Hearing him say this, the two servants nodded hurriedly, then rushed forward to squeeze the crowd out of the way, and then led Wang Xuan to the front.
In this exam, Wang Xuan felt that he had played very well.
So maybe he can really come out on top this time.
When the time comes, my father will definitely be impressed with himself.
Thinking of this, he already had some expectations in his heart, but at this time, he didn't know who suddenly exclaimed.
"Did you see it, the first place this time is actually just an eight-year-old child!"
"What do you say? Eight-year-olds, how is this possible? ”
Hearing the conversation between these people, especially when they mentioned the words of an eight-year-old child, Wang Xuan's heart suddenly chuckled.
A bad premonition suddenly welled up in my heart.
