Volume 1 Chapter 412 First place in the township exam

The township trial writing list, the more you get to the back, the longer the time will be vacated.

In the evening, the people in Jinling City, after a hard day's work, gathered from all directions as if they were rushing to the market.

At this time, the square in front of the Tribute Courtyard was already overcrowded.

Just when people are immersed in the triennial event.

In the small gate next to the township test, Deng Qing was escorted out of the tribute courtyard by the Jinyi guards.

As soon as he left the tribute courtyard, he was stuffed into a carriage that had been prepared a long time ago.

In an instant, the carriage turned around and disappeared into the darkening night.

The people did not find that a court official at the small gate was arrested by the Jinyi guards, because at this time, at the small door on the other side, a clerk brought a table and placed it in front of the township test laurel list.

When the old Jinling people saw this scene, they immediately understood.

This is the examiner who is about to come out.

Sure enough, after the table was arranged according to the rules of priority and subordination, Gu Shouyuan was in front and walked out of the small door with a group of inner curtain officials and outer curtain officials.

When he went out, Gu Shouyuan, who was talking to Wang Liangchen, was also taken aback by the enthusiastic people outside.

I saw that the huge square in front of the Gongyuan was already full of people at this time.

He didn't have time to discuss with Wang Liangchen about Deng Qing being suddenly arrested by Jinyiwei, so he changed his smile and sat firmly at the main table.

He is flanked by the positions of invigilator, deputy examiner, and promoter.

After the four bigwigs sat down, the eighteen rooms and examiners sat in their exclusive positions one by one.

In front of the examiners, there is another large case, and there are countless ink roll boxes piled up next to it.

The scribes on duty performed their respective positions, and there were also a member of the committee, the house officials, the messengers, and the attendants, who stood on both sides.

Even the front of the big case was crowded into a ball, waiting to see the excitement.

Behind them is the team of the good news, these people have spent money to buy the book office in charge of writing the list in the Gongyuan Courtyard for a long time, and at this exciting time, whoever grabs it will make a fortune.

In the Gongyuan, Gu Shouyuan had already written one hundred and twenty-nine lists.

Now there are still six and five left unfilled.

This is an important process to fill in in front of the people of Jinling.

As soon as the officials sat down, the people in the square began to cry out for a tsunami.

Gu Shouyuan presided over the township test for the first time, and he was also excited when he saw this.

He pretended to be calm, paced to the front of the big case, took the large pen handed by the book office, and wrote on the red paper laid out on the case: "Sixth place, Xie Liangcai, Jiangdu County, Yangzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili!" ”

With a wave, the book office took a roll call on the spot, and although the people didn't know who Xie Liangcai was, it did not prevent them from being excited and cheering.

In an instant, the square in front of Gongyuan was like a sea of happiness.

The secretary dipped the ink with a cloth and hung the list in front of the seventh place on the wall of the Gongyuan.

Seeing this, the newspaper in the crowd turned their heads and guessed that the family went to report the news.

The newspaper, with three or five people, led the horse and led his men to gallop out of the special passage to report the good news.

In the backyard of the Zhuangyuan Building at this time, Xie Liangcai and Xu He had no heart to sleep.

The two peeled pine nuts, Xie Liangcai looked at the sky outside and said, "The lights are on, there should be five troubles!" Alas, Liangsheng, for my brother, I didn't have good luck in the exam, and it is estimated that I will have to waste another three years! ”

Xu He was also very disappointed, he nodded and said, "Don't be discouraged, the matter has come to this, I will go back to Hailing tomorrow, what about you?" What to do? ”

"What else can I do? I'll go to Hailing with you to live for a while, hide from the clan elders at home, and save yourself from being grinded! ”

Just as the two were talking, suddenly there was a faint sound of gongs outside.

The two of them thought they had misheard.

Who knew that after a while, Ouyang Jun stumbled and rushed in and said excitedly: "Brother Defu, congratulations to high school!" ”

Xie Liangcai was stupid, his mouth was half open, his eyes were round, and the pine nuts in his hand were still pinched at his fingertips.

Xu He said happily: "Brother Keyong, how many places did Dev win?" ”

"Sixth, sixth!"

"Gollum ......"

When the sound came, Xie Liang didn't pay attention, his legs were weak, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks.

Xu He and Ouyang Jun hurriedly pulled him up.

At this time, all the students poured in.

Regardless of whether he said anything cool or not, at this time, they all smiled and congratulated Xie Liangcai.

Xie Liangcai looked at Xu He and said, "I, I didn't dream!" ”

Xu He was really happy for him, pulled his arm and said, "Brother Defu, you heard it right, you won the sixth place in the township test!" ”

"Bright ......"

At this moment, Xie Liangcai's eyes were full of tears, remembering that it had been more than 20 years since he had been talking to this meeting, and finally, he finally got lifted, he seemed to have a thousand words, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say a word.

Xu He patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "I understand, I understand!" ”

……

The darker the sky in Jinling after autumn, the lower the temperature.

But at this time, the people at the gate of the Gongyuan were getting more and more excited, and the people watching the excitement were gathering more and more.

The sixth place has been born, and the next is the "Five Classics" of the Nanzhili Township Test.

At this time, at the gate of the Gongyuan, the crowd was crowded, the voices were boiling, and a huge candle had been lit in front of the officials, Gu Shouyuan wrote at this time: "The fifth place is Han Hejian of Taiping County, Ningguo Mansion. ”

It's no joke to make a fuss about the lanterns.

All the time the candle was placed in front of a fellow examiner, to show that the fifth person came from this room.

At this time, the committee members, scribes, officials, cooks, and men all came out of the tribute courtyard, and everyone bought a few catties of candles, inserted them on a large wooden plate studded with nails, held them in their hands, and took turns walking around the officials.

The scene was as bright as day.

These candles will not be burned out, but will be blown out as soon as the list of the Five Classics is posted.

In the future, these candles can be given away, and it is said that if the candles that are contaminated with the atmosphere of culture are placed in the marriage room, the children born by the young couples will also be able to lift in the future.

Therefore, it is a rare gift of human affection.

In order to make the candle burn a little less, everyone clamored for the examiner to hurry up and fill in the Five Classics.

This is also a perennial practice, how could Gu Shouyuan not know about the scientific expedition along the way.

He went on to write:

Fourth place, Fang Younan, Pei County, Xuzhou Prefecture.

third place, Gong Kun, Shanyang County, Huai'an Prefecture.

Second place, Wujin County, Changzhou Prefecture, Fu Ding.

Every time a list was posted, the crowd let out a burst of exclamation.

There is also the first place in the final township test, Xie Yuan, has not been released.

The crowd fell silent again.

Gu Shouyuan didn't take Qiao either, and shook his wrist and wrote on the paper:

The first place in the Nanzhili Township test, Xu He, Hailing County, Yangzhou Prefecture!

The list has just been on the wall.

Cannons rang out, drums rang out, and officials raised their glasses in celebration.

The first place in this year's township test came out, and tonight, at this moment, the name on the wall is the brightest star in Nanzhili!
