Soon it will be the fifth day of March.

On this day, everyone's eyes were focused on the Gongyuan and on the gold list.

In this era, there is nothing more important than the title of the gold list, everything is inferior, only reading is high, this is definitely not the words that those who read books use to boast about themselves.

Reading can be an official, being an official can become a person, this is a fact that everyone in this world knows, the official is an official, the people are the people, there is an invisible gap between the two, but anyone can feel the huge gap, the official and the people are the difference between cloud and mud.

Officials sitting high in the clouds, they can decide the life and death of people with a single word, and they can decide the life and death of those people who are humble to the dirt with just one sentence, even if this people are rich and rich, no matter how much money they have saved, they are just untouchables when they say that the sky is broken.

If you meet a ruthless person, or if you don't like it, you can break your home and destroy your door with just one sentence.

Teach you a lifetime of hard work overnight into a dream; Teach you to never recover; Teach you to regret coming into this world.

Xia Yuan still wanted to be a businessman at the beginning, but now he thinks that his ideas are ridiculous, but they are not ridiculous, but more helpless.

After all, he didn't think that he could be admitted to any lifting person or jinshi at all.

As a modern person, a newcomer to the modern world, there is only one impression of Bagu, and this thing is a giant pit at all.

Since ancient times, how many brilliant people have not planted their heels on this, and they can't climb up.

The difficulty of this thing is that it is not only difficult, but also rare and weird, not that you can pass the exam if you read well, it depends on luck, it depends on luck, and it depends on whether your essay can enter the eyes of the examiner.

How many people are there in this world?

How many people can be named on the gold list?

Ninety-nine percent of the people who are poor are just poor and sour talents all their lives, and they are not even considered talents, they are just old children, otherwise where would Kong Yiji come from?

Anyone who travels back to ancient times from modern times, but anyone who has heard of the eight shares, there is a high probability that they will not have confidence in the legendary eight shares, thinking that I should find another way out, otherwise I will be poor for a lifetime, and it will be difficult to guarantee that I am not another Kong Yiji.

Xia Yuan also thought the same way at that time, and now, he didn't know that he had a plug-in at that time.

When I arrived at the gate of the Gongyuan, there was already a sea of people here, and the list had already been posted, Xia Yuan deliberately pinched it today, thinking that the list was almost pasted, but I didn't expect that there were only three lists, the first list, the middle list, and the tail list.

As for whether there is his own name on the list, it is not clear.

This whining crowd is many times larger than when the township test was first taken, and there are people everywhere you look.

People crowd people, people push people, there are people who bring the servants of the family to see the list, there are also idlers waiting for the good news, and there are sergeants who maintain order.

This situation is even more exaggerated than the scenic spots of modern social holidays.

They couldn't squeeze in at all, and they didn't plan to squeeze in, a few people just stood at the outermost, Xia Yuan held Zhao Yuerong's little hand tightly, for fear that a daughter-in-law who didn't pay attention would be lost.

Fortunately, in the place closest to the list text, someone shouted the names and origins on the list over and over again, to ensure that those who can't see it can also know the news of their test.

And with the reciprocal roll call, from time to time there were people in the crowd dancing or crying.

"Haha, I hit, I hit, father, son hit."

Someone suddenly shouted not far away, Xia Yuan was startled by this voice, and looked at it, it was a middle-aged man about forty years old.

And this person's rank seems to be seventy-third, no matter how many there are, they are all tributes anyway, just wait for the palace to pass the test, and the last time is also a fellow jinshi, and then he can be an official.

These thousands of people, ten years of cold windows, night and night with the lamp and hard study, everyone regards reading as the most important thing, but there are a few people who read simply for reading and seeking knowledge, such people may have, but more of them are just for seeking officials.

Now that I have achieved my will, it is normal to cry and laugh.

Xia Ru was also looking fixedly, as if he was crazy.

Accompanied by the lonely lamp, there is only a lonely figure in the room, under the residual lamp, holding the book and reading it over and over again, it will not feel boring, because I don't know what it feels like to be bored, only the indescribable loneliness and melancholy, leaving everything behind, only the words of the saint are left in my eyes, and my mind is full of reading, all of which are the middle test.

It was as if he could feel what the weeping man had experienced, because that was what he had experienced before.

After looking at it for a long time, Xia Ru withdrew his gaze and sighed: "If I also participate in this township examination, I will learn here that I have won these seventy-three places, I am afraid that it will be even more unbearable than this person." ”

Xia Yuan, who was next to him, heard his sigh and couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, Xia Ru was inexplicably looked at by him, "Brother Yuan, why are you staring at me like this?" ”

"Oh, nothing."

Xia Yuan's lips squirmed a few times, and then turned his head back, he decided not to say anything, uncle, you are too worried, if you take the exam, you will not come to see the list or anything like that.

Faintly, there was another sound of gongs and drums, this is the tiger list, or the ground list was pasted, and the red paper with the name was removed, and the names on the list were also read out loud.

There was a list of ten people in total, and the reading was done quickly, and the person in charge of the roll call repeated it again.

And Xia Yuan has already determined that there is no name of his own on the list.

The rest of the three lists don't seem to be there, and as for the remaining heavenly list that hasn't been released yet, he can't even think about it, there are only three names on it, which are the top three in this exam.

Obviously, Xia Ru's twenty taels of silver were lost, and he was even more miserable, losing ten taels of gold, which was discounted by one hundred taels of silver.

Xia Ru's eyes also showed a little sadness, not that he felt sorry for the silver, but that these four lists came out, but he still didn't hear his nephew's name, didn't he say that there was a high probability that he would be off the list

As for the top three, this idea is too beautiful, Xia Ru would never dare to think like this, this Ming Dynasty has been a scholar for more than 100 years, not to mention the top three, and even almost every time the top ten in the exam, and even the top twenty are all taken by the southern scholars, and there are very few northern scholars, so few that the northern scholars themselves have no confidence in this.

"Brother Yuan, think about the good in everything, maybe you will be in the top three in the exam this time."

Thinking like this in his heart, Xia Ru still cheered up and comforted him, paused, and said: "Even if you don't pass the exam this time, it doesn't matter, you will come back in three years, after all, you are still young, and you are only eighteen years old." ”

Hearing this kind of words three years later, Xia Yuan's whole person was excited, and he didn't have the heart to listen to the words that followed, and listened attentively to the people in front of the list.

The ground list, the first list, the middle list, and the tail list are read in a loop, plus a piece of more than 200 people, maybe I read my name just now, but I didn't hear it clearly.

This possibility is not out of the question.

Xia Yuan listened very carefully, and just half of what he listened to, there was a faint sound of gongs and drums, which meant that the last heavenly list was finally going to be posted.

There was no way, Xia Yuan could only sigh, wait for the list to be read this day, and then listen to the person who read the list to read the rest of the list.

"Congratulations to Wu Gong Kang Haikang for being third in high school!"

"Congratulations to Puzhou Li Tingxiang and Master Li for being second in high school!"

"Congratulations. The first place in Beizhili Xia Yuan Xia Old Master High School! ”

The names on the list were read out one by one, and the surrounding crowd erupted in cheers and tsunamis, but Xia Yuan was stunned, what did he just hear?
