Chapter 72: Jie Yuan
It was late at night, and there were still laughter and joy in the Zhang family manor. Even Zhang Xiu came to congratulate him with his wife and children. These were four juren. Although it was not as regretful that Zhang Jian did not have a problem, these four people were in contact with their own family. Moreover, Zhang Jian was only seventeen years old and there was still time for the next exam. He seemed to have seen the bright prospect of the Zhang family's success and finally ambition for thousands of miles.
If I hadn't looked at the list tomorrow morning, I would have been destined to be drunk and never return home tonight.
Gradually, it was dawn and everyone went to the headquarters of Jiangnan Road.
The head of the general manager is located in the former Danyang County City, which was the residence of Danyang Yin during the Six Dynasties. It is located on the south bank of the Qinhuai River, north of Wuyi Lane, and is only three or two miles away from Changganli.
At this time, there were already people rushing around, with three thousand scholars surrounding the door, and their literary spirits were soaring. Their servants and chariots and horses were scattered around the head of the general manager. There were also many peddlers and pawns who took the opportunity to do business. Even some brothel girls were dressed up and pointed at the students.
In the distance, Su Yueer, wearing a curtain hat, looked at Xiao Ye and others in surprise and said, "The four people refer to each other, and they were all four. It is really a good story. Is there anyone who has great luck?"
Yin Yin, who had been drinking with Xiao Ye, said, "Sister Qianqian, didn't that Jiang Fang say he wanted to marry you? It just so happens that if you marry him, he is a juren, and it's not considered insulting you, right?"
“Oh ~~”
Qianqian sighed: "A woman like us has long been famous. Now I am not worthy of him. Besides, if I follow him, I will have to take care of my husband and children. How can I play in the world and absorb the seven emotions and six desires to help me practice?"
"Um!"
Yin Yin nodded and said, "This is the truth. If you follow him and have fun with other men, how can he tolerate it? Sooner or later, you will be out of the house, and your affection will be gone. These men are just a stinky skin, so why are you doing so tightly? You are really smaller than the tip of a needle. If Mr. Jiang thinks about you, you can make it clear to him, marry him or be a concubine for him, but you can't interfere with your private affairs, see if he wants it."
"Oh, which man would tolerate the greenness on his head, I definitely don't want to!"
It screamed strangely.
Qianqian shook her head and said, "This person is also stupid. He actually wants to regard a prostitute as his wife. Forget it, I don't mention him. In fact, I am more worried about my senior sister. My senior sister refuses to follow our path and must keep the red pill. If this method can be practiced, it is not something we can look up to, but it is difficult to have many disasters. Because the qi of Yuanyin cannot be combined with the yang essence, over time, the qi of Yin is too strong, which triggers the response of heaven and man, especially the love disaster is the most difficult to overcome. If you are not careful, your body and mind will be trapped, and you will never get rid of it. I see that the Red Luan Star is moving in my eyebrows, and I am afraid that the love disaster will come."
Su Yue'er smiled confidently: "We monks should overcome all difficulties and are afraid that they will do anything. When it comes to this, what kind of man can capture my heart in the world?"
Yin smiled and said, "Yes, the man who can defeat my senior sister's guardianship is probably not born yet. I hope that the better the one who can trigger the senior sister's Hongluan Tribulation, the better. By then, the successful passing of the senior sister will surely capture his body and mind and make him fall under the senior sister's pomegranate skirt."
"Hey, come out!"
Suddenly, Qianqian exclaimed, and saw the red lacquer door slowly opening, and rows of soldiers came out one after another to rectify the order. The noise in the square ended abruptly.
Ren Zhigu, the general manager of Jiangnan Road, strided broadly, followed by Wang Xun, the academician who was holding a yellow list, Wu Chengsi, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, Yao Chong, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and Yuan Shuji, the young minister of the Dali Temple.
Ren Zhigu said loudly: "In August of the second year of Yongchun in the Tang Dynasty, all 130 candidates from the Jiangnan Road Provincial Examination have been selected. Tomorrow, the General Administration Headquarters and the Ministry of Rites will hold a deer crowing banquet and a Jiankang ground courtesan competition on Pengcaixian Island, Xuanwu Lake. This is a reward for the moon and also a support for the Ministry of Rites. I hope that the candidates from the examination will not be late. There is a ferry at the foot of Jiming Mountain to send you all!"
The Tang Dynasty was influenced by the legacy of the Six Dynasties and its atmosphere was open. It was not as strict as the rules of the Ming and Qing Dynasties on Earth. Officials were never afraid of setting foot in the place of elegance and even brought it to elegant talks. Suddenly, there were colorful sounds below.
Ren Zhigu stroked his beard with satisfaction and waved his hand.
Wang Xun, the academician, hung the yellow list on the screen wall.
"Xie Yuan, Xiao Ye of Yangzhou Prefecture!"
"Who is Duke Jie Yuan?"
The number one on the yellow list is Xiao Ye, who is Jie Yuan in high school!
Everyone looked up and asked, but Xiao Ye was stunned, a little surprised, but more of it was still joyful.
"Xieyuan?"
Su Yue'er narrowed her beautiful eyes and looked at Xiao Ye burntly.
"Duke Jie Yuan, congratulations!"
Chen Zi'ang and others smiled and clasped their fists. Although they had known that Xiao Ye had been defeated, Jie Yuan was still surprising.
"Duke Jie Yuan, congratulations!"
In the head of the general manager, officials who had already prepared had come over to beat drums and drums, presented the juren's letter, and shook their clothes to cover them for Xiao Ye.
The juren's clothing was a fine blue cloth shirt. Although it was fabric, it was limited by raw materials and technology. Until the Ming Dynasty, fine and soft cloth was more expensive than silk. A piece of silk was generally ten taels of silver, while a piece of Songjiang fine and soft cotton cloth was worth hundreds of taels of silver.
The crown and hat are the second-liang Jinxian crowns, which are the regular beam crowns of Juren and officials below the fifth rank and below at home, and the third-liang crowns are exclusively for Jinshi.
Xiao Ye was wearing a dress and his body was immediately overwhelmed with a heroic look, which made everyone cheer and praised: "What a young man."
Zhang Yu's face turned red and could not even take her eyes open, her beautiful eyes were full of pride.
"Thank you, thank you everyone!"
Xiao Ye thanked him and took out the prepared silver, each of whom was five taels, not much or no, which was exactly in line with his identity and rewarded the officials who reported the good news.
The officials smiled happily and thanked him for leaving.
The second name of the Yuan Dynasty is Zhou Jin, a scholar from Jiankang Mansion. It is said to be a descendant of Zhou Yu. It is also very lively, but Zhou Jin seemed not very happy and glanced at Xiao Ye from time to time with a sophisticated look.
"Cousin, you have won the Jingkui!"
"Doctor Lu won Yakui!"
The third to fifth place in the provincial examination, named Jingkui, the sixth name was Yakui, and Chen Zi'ang ranked third, unexpectedly, Shi Jin ranked fifth.
Another group of officials came to announce the good news with smiles.
"Oh, the last one again!"
Jiang Fang searched the list and suddenly screamed strangely, slapped his forehead.
One Hundred Thirty!
There are 30 people in the palace exam and 130 people in the provincial exam. The last bus is back, but don’t underestimate the last bus. The first test is strength, and it is luck to accompany the last seat. Two consecutive rounds, Jiang Fang has been lucky. How many people can do it?
‘Mascot!’
Xiao Ye's eyes lit up.
Of course, to verify whether Chiang is a mascot, it also depends on the tribute test. Only by passing the last tribute test can the quality be tested. The worst tribute test is also the same as the Jinshi on both lists. If the Jinshi enters the Hanlin Academy, the same jinshi can be directly released from Beijing and become the magistrate of a small county or the county magistrate of a large county.
In the crowd, Mr. Cai also looked at Jiang Fang in a daze. He was lucky twice in a row, so he could not regard it as luck, but as luck. But no matter how he looked at it, Jiang Fang was cold and weak. How could such a person have luck?
He was full of confusion and regretful at the same time. If he had not used Jiang Fang to frame Xiao Ye, but had focused on cultivating and helping him, this person would have been obeyed by Shi Jin's command.
You should know that scholars are proud. To make a juren willing to obey orders, you need to give up considerable benefits, but it is different from training from small amounts. You only need a little investment to obtain huge returns.
‘Is that boy really his nemesis?’
