Chapter 382: The Middle Lift
It turned out that Jiang Jie had been breathing through his mouth for a day and a night, if it weren't for the pills given by Yingbao, he would have been sick by the smell.
Sakura knew that bad smells really made people sick, so she asked her brother to bring a few sticks of incense to the exam room.
As a result, burning incense didn't work, because his room was next to the toilet.
Fortunately, my younger brother insisted on writing all the exam questions and did not play abnormally.
Li Xu is okay, but he doesn't have a good rest at night and is not in good spirits.
After the two came back, Jiang Saburo boiled water for them to take a bath and wash, and the water also put the medicine and petals given by the girl.
After taking a bath, Jiang Jie and Li Xu ate something and fell asleep.
slept until the next day, when Jiang Jie and Li Xu got up.
The next thing is to wait for the list to be released.
Wei Zhan and Wen Hengyin came over and invited Jiang Jie, Jiang Wu and Yuan Bao to play outside, and also went to the surrounding Taoist temples and temples to visit.
Li Xu and Jiang Cheng accompanied Mr. Wu around Fucheng and inquired about the new dynasty by the way.
The reason why the New Zhou Dynasty occupied half of the Great Guizhou so quickly was because many local officials were dissatisfied with the Xiao family's arbitrariness, as well as the emperor's weakness and absurdity, and automatically surrendered to the New Zhou Dynasty. The second is that Daqian has always suppressed the generals, oppressed the people, and exposed his belly to the enemy, which gave the new dynasty an opportunity.
Military generals from all over the country have taken refuge in the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, because he gave them the opportunity to be crowned marquis, and also let their families be fed, clothed, clothed, and clothed, and even rich and glorious in their lives.
In addition, the barbarians invaded Kyoto and abducted the emperor and a cadre of clans and courtiers and nobles, which just gave the New Zhou Dynasty a chance to rise.
Although the acting king ascended the throne in Shudi, he was fledgling, and there were very few people available in his hands.
Now the fourteen mansions of Daqian, seven of which have been in the hands of the New Zhou Dynasty, such as Taiyuan Mansion, Daimyo Mansion, Kaide Mansion, Yingtian Mansion, Hejian Mansion, Longde Mansion, Jianglin Mansion, etc., basically returned to the Great Zhou.
Moreover, the New Zhou Dynasty promulgated a new law, allowing the children of merchants to also participate in the scientific examination, but they must not have committed adultery within three generations.
Jiang Cheng and Li Xu also inquired that the new emperor was born in the royal family of the former Zhou Dynasty, and his great-grandfather was the crown prince of the former dynasty.
The reason why people trust him so much is also because there are frequent miracles in various places, and even the well-known Nine Heavens Xuannu in Jingzhou has sent down an oracle and designated Zhou Rui as the lord of the world.
It is said that the Great Zhou Shengshang was still a person favored by the gods, and once saved the lives of the people of a city with the divine gourd given by the gods.
When Sakura heard these rumors from Brother Lobby, he always felt that something was strange.
A month later, the list was finally released.
Li Xu and Jiang Jie are both on the list, and they are both ranked in the top 20.
Jiang Saburo was simply overjoyed.
My son is only eleven years old, and he is still in the top 20 in the exam, does it mean that his son can still be admitted to the Jinshi in the future?
Oh, my God! Jinshi, that's a real Wenqu star.
In the past 20 years, they haven't produced a single jinshi in the entire county, right?
Soon, the newspapers came one after another to report the good news, Jiang Saburo gave each of them ten taels of red envelopes, and also called more than a dozen tables from the largest restaurant in Fucheng to entertain the guests who came to congratulate them.
The head of the Wei family came to congratulate him in person, and invited Jiang Jie and Li Xu to his home as guests.
During the banquet, the head of the Wei family also called out several of his teenage concubines and toasted Jiang Jie one by one.
This made Mrs. Wang angry, so she took someone to the old thing's yard that night, smashed the things in his house, and scared the new concubine on the bed of the Wei family master.
Wang pointed at his nose and scolded: "You don't have a big dream in the Spring and Autumn Period!" The Jiang family is also something that your concubines can cling to? ”
That's not really the point.
If the Jiang family really responds to this old thing's concubine, won't their own son be happy?
The Wei family master shrunk his neck and didn't dare to squeak.
He also knew that he shouldn't use his concubine to win over the Jiang family, but he didn't have a concubine.
As soon as he thought of this, the head of the Wei family became angry.
Who blames you for not having a concubine?
It's not that this tigress has no ability and can't lay eggs!
But he didn't dare say it.
The Wang family, the wife, is a wealthy family, and the reason why the Wei family is prosperous is also because of the support of the Wang family.
Not to mention the Wang clan who is an official in the capital, it is his brother-in-law Wang Xian, who is now also an alternate magistrate.
He is a merchant, even if he is rich, he is still a merchant, and there is no way to compare with the royal family of the scholar family.
In a flash, in October, Jiang Saburo took the child home.
Originally, Jiang Jie could stay in Fucheng and study in Fucheng, but Mr. Wu wanted to take him to Jiankang to have a look and talk about it when he came back.
Yuan Bao also passed the college examination as he wished, and won the sixth place in the college examination and became a Liao Shan student.
Entering the county school is stable, and he, like Jiang Jie, can not only receive four taels of silver and rice and vegetables and meat every month, but also be exempted from military service at home.
When I went back, I still walked on the dry road, and the Jiang family had a total of five carriages, and they walked unhurriedly.
However, before leaving, Wen Hengyin and Wei Zhan also came with two carriages each, and wanted to return to Chuanhe Town with them.
Li Xu did not go back, he stayed in the Wen's house in Fucheng, preparing to enter Fuxue next year, and then go to the capital to take the examination.
When the convoy was halfway there, the sky was covered with goose feathers and snow.
Within 200 miles, the snow on the road had blocked the road.
There was no way, Jiang Saburo and the others had to come to a village street and stay here.
There is only one inn in the village street, which is still very shabby, with two large shops and four guest rooms.
But three rooms are already occupied, and one Chase bunk is full.
So, Jiang Saburo chartered the remaining Chase bunk and a guest room.
The innkeeper saw that there was a man and a talent among the guests, so he immediately became careful, brought hot water and hot rice for Jiang Saburo and them, and added a charcoal basin to their house.
Ying Bao lived in a room alone, and Jiang Saburo was a little uneasy, so he let his two sons accompany his sister.
Because he knows that his daughter has a cave, and the three sisters and brothers can go to the cave to rest.
Sakura did bring the two younger brothers into the cave, and after letting them rest, he picked a bunch of grapes and ate them, and cooked them on a charcoal stove.
When the rice was cooked, she wrapped a bunch of mulberry leaf rice packets with palm-sized mulberry leaves, and the rice bags also wrapped preserved fruits and honey.
After that, put the rice bag in a straw basket and cover it with a small quilt to keep warm.
Seeing that it was still early, I cut a basket of leeks, and breaded leeks and egg dumplings.
Simple leek egg dumplings will break in the pot, so Yingbao steamed some steamed dumplings in a steamer, ate a few by himself, and stored the rest in the cage to wait for his brothers to wake up and eat again.
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden noise outside the inn.
More than two dozen horses rushed to the front of the inn.
There were also two carriages in the middle of these horses, which looked like some kind of female dependent.
"Open the door! Open the door! "There was a knock on the door of the inn." Stay! ”
The shopkeeper didn't get up, and shouted out of the window: "It's full!" There are no more bunks! ”
"Bastard! Let you open the door and slip away! The man outside said arrogantly: "If you don't open it again, Lao Tzu will order your house!" ”
