In the Jiangnan scientific research fraud case, the cover of the King of Qin was lifted up, but there was no expected chaos.

After a brief panic, everything was on the right track.

The three adults who were responsible for thoroughly investigating fraud in the scientific examination were secretly investigated, and the provincial examination list was organized by Guo Song and released on time.

The provincial examination results were released! On this day, Jinling was crowded with people, and countless people rushed to the streets. There were two places where the list was launched, one was the Qinhuai River and the other was the Liuhe Sankong Bridge.

Jinling is the most lively and prosperous place in these two places. On the day of the listing, these two places were even more surrounded by people. Not only were the references to the talented people who couldn't wait to read the list.

The girls from various pleasure boats in Jinling, merchants and civilians from various regions, and even soldiers from the Nanfu Army came to join in the fun. The academic style in Jiangnan was prosperous and there were many students.

Thousands of people participated in the provincial examination, and only about a hundred people were able to become juren. This is a ratio of more than ten to one. It is no exaggeration to say that passing the imperial examination is a one-step success.

Even if a person from a poor family has the fame and reputation of a Juren, others have to call him a master. Moreover, once a Juren is vacant, he can be added to him as an official. Therefore, for scholars, the career of officials starts from Juren!

The day of the announcement was still early, and there were not many people in Tianshui Pavilion, so it was very quiet.

Early in the morning, Fan Duoduo personally cooked tea and made a piano. Lu Zheng and the girl Ying'er came very early, and they came only at the beginning of Mao Zedong.

Ying'er was holding a food box in her hand, which was a snack, soup bun, lean meat porridge I just bought in a shop outside, which was exquisite and delicious. The three of them ate it very comfortably.

After breakfast, Fan Duoduo personally served tea to Lu Zheng and Ying'er, and then played the piano and sang music. When the time came, he saw that the streets of Sankong Bridge were crowded and there was no water.

Suddenly, a soldier shouted, and then the crowd moved away from both sides like a tide. A bunch of people rode straight to the bridgehead of Sankong Bridge. Some of the scholars around him shouted: "The results are released!"

This shout immediately made the scene even more noisy. Ying'er, who was sitting while drinking tea, stood up anxiously and said, "Young Master, look, the results are really released! The yamen runner who posted the list came down from the moment!"

The provincial examination results were released, and more than a dozen soldiers and yamen runners escorted the list, three were responsible for the list, and the rest were surrounded by guards and maintained order. The crowded crowded people also made them sweat.

The list was finally posted. The person standing in front shouted at the name on the list. Suddenly someone shouted: "I won, I won!"

Then I saw a man squeezed out of the crowd. He saw that he was about in his early forties, his hair was half white, and his clothes were covered with greasy patches. He was born into a poor family at first glance.

"I'm hit, I'm hit!" He shouted, and one hand reached into the air and danced. He grabbed a stone under his feet, and almost fell down. He looked at his appearance carefully. His mouth was cracked, and tears flowed in his eyes. His face was so blurry that he couldn't see the outline. However, he ignored it at all, shouting "I'm hit", and soon disappeared into the crowd.

When Lu Zheng and the other three saw this scene, his mood was quite complicated. The current situation reminded him of Fan Jin's description of the imperial examination, the evil feudal imperial examination. However, in this era, what other ways can a son from a poor family have if he does not follow the imperial examination?

The list was released, some people were happy and some were worried, the happy and those were ecstatic, and those were sad were like a loss. As the list fermented, such interesting scenes were presented in front of everyone like images, making people sigh, and their emotions were inexplicably involved in the provincial examination list.

Lu Zheng was drinking tea, but the two girls were no longer here. Ying'er had already stood up and paced back and forth like an ant in a hot nest. Fan Duoduo stopped singing and playing the piano. Her eyes looked outside and her breathing became rapid:

"Young Master Zheng, let's go and have a look together? I'm thinking about congratulating you!" Fan Duoduo said, her beautiful eyes fell on Lu Zheng's body, and the smell of coquettishness was very strong.

Lu Zheng laughed and said, "The ranking of the list has long been concluded. Whether to watch or not is there. There are many people now and it is too complicated. Let's wait a little longer!

Besides, girl, don’t worry, there are many people watching the list, maybe someone will come to the door in a while!”

Lu Zheng had a leisurely drink tea. This was not the first time he had experienced the scientific examination and the results were released, but this was definitely the most important one he had experienced, because once this list was released, Lu Zheng could be free from family and background.

Lu Zheng’s weakest position is his identity as a concubine’s son. He has never been favored at home since he was a child. He faces the helplessness of being constrained if he wants to do anything. Lu Zheng believes that once he becomes a juren, these troubles will be taken away.

From this perspective, studying is not only a way out for poor people, but also aristocratic families like Lu Zheng need to rely on studying to change their destiny.

The emperor was not anxious, the eunuch was anxious, Lu Zheng was able to calm down, but Ying'er and Fan Duoduo were getting more and more anxious. At this time, there were more and more shouts below, standing in Fan Duoduo's room, looking at the situation outside.

"Ah...that's Chen...Gui, Mr. Chen, he must have been hit!" Ying'er suddenly pointed at someone, Lu Zheng looked closely and saw Chen Gui coming out of the crowd with joy.

Chen Gui of Yangzhou, Lu Zheng was very familiar with him, and then he saw more familiar faces. Li Mu, who is also a talented man in Jinling, also won, and seemed to be ranked not low.

Li Mu and others squeezed out of the crowd and were immediately surrounded by people around. Obviously, the talented men on the list spontaneously formed a small group, and everyone congratulated each other. On the other hand, the talented men who failed the exam were all lost and were naturally separated from these cheerful successful people.

Birds of a feather flock together, and these cheerful talented men talk big. At this moment, they are the winners of life. Only someone in the crowd shouted:

"Although we have passed the imperial examination, we are still not as good as Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng is the first to be the first!"

"Yes, yes, the name of the number one talented man in Jiangnan has become even more worthy from now on! At this moment, Lu Zheng must be waiting for the good news at home, why don't we all visit him?"

The group of people was making noise, regardless of the gentle temperament that scholars should have. Their words reached the pleasure boat. Ying'er and Fan Duoduo exclaimed at the same time, and then the look of ecstasy appeared on both women's faces.

The two looked at Lu Zheng at the same time. At this moment, Lu Zheng's image in their hearts had reached the highest point. Ying'er said: "I've won, I've won, you've won, you've won, and you're the first one!"

"Young Master is defeated, you are defeated!" Ying'er could no longer control her inner excitement and jumped up. Fan Duoduo was also at a loss, not knowing how to express her inner joy.

At this time, when he saw Qi Biao's figure in the crowd, he smiled and hurriedly called the boatman, obviously he wanted to rush to Jiangning to announce the good news immediately.

At this time, the soldiers who were professionally reporting the good news had already galloped to the dock on horseback. The soldiers beat the gong and shouted loudly:

"It's time to announce the good news, it's time to report the good news. Mr. Zheng got Jie Yuan, he was overjoyed, he was overjoyed!"

The boatmen on the river heard the shouts and gathered around from all directions, shouting one by one: "Are you going to Jiangning to announce the good news? Take my boat?"

The boatmen rushed to carry passengers, and a group of soldiers who reported the good news immediately got on the boat, and set off on sail and headed straight for Jiangning along the water.

It is probably difficult to take the land route from Liuhe to Jiangning today because you have to cross the Qinhuai River! At this time, the news on the Qinhuai River must have come out. Once there is a good news, someone will definitely go to Jiangning to report the good news immediately. At this time, it depends on who will come first and who will come.

They were busy chasing, but they never expected that Lu Zheng would take all their actions in the boudoir of Fan Duoduo in Tianshui Pavilion.

The group of judges who won the prize were all on a boat and wanted to go to Jiangning. After the list was issued, it was a Lu Ming Banquet in the evening. Next, all the judges on the list were in the same year. Everyone talked about the hometown feelings in the officialdom of the Dakang Dynasty. In the same year, teachers and students and other relationships were important.

Lu Zheng is now popular and is known as the number one talented man in Jiangnan. This group of students who won the imperial examinations visited Lu Zheng together. This is not only a kind of friendship, but also a familiarity between students through such activities, thus laying the foundation for future friendship.

As a human being at that time, Lu Zheng finally put down his teacup, let out a long breath, and then a smile appeared on his face: "The result was perfect. I thought there would be some twists and turns, but I didn't expect that I didn't experience the situation I imagined!"

Lu Zheng thought in his heart that the King of Qin came and followed Zhong Father Ming, who was attacking the scientific test. Should he be unable to get along with him, Lu Zheng? The result was not!

"I have to go back to Jiangning, otherwise it wouldn't be a good thing for the Lu family in Jiangning to be too embarrassed!" Lu Zheng said lightly, "Ying'er, stop making trouble, go back to Jiangning!"

"Okay, young master! The boat has been arranged below!" Ying'er said.

He blinked and said, "Butler Hong Shen arranged the ship yesterday and said it was the master's meaning. I'll not tell you first!"

"You girl, you are getting smarter. Go back and hit your ass!" Lu Zheng laughed, Ying'er's face turned red, Fan Duoduo on the side smiled unscrupulously. She was a fairy woman, not as conservative as those ladies of noble families!

Ying'er's face turned redder, but she couldn't help but feel joy in her heart. She walked in front, and the master and servant boarded the boat and left, and also rushed to Jiangning.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Lu family in Jiangning was extremely tense. Lu Shanchang gathered all the second and third generations of children together, and his wife and wife gathered together, and everyone was anxiously waiting for the news.

The errand runners have been sent out for two or three batches, and each house has sent people. The Qinhuai River and the Liuhe Sankong Bridge have been arranged. Once there is news, they will return to report immediately.

As time passed, the time for the return of the students was getting closer and closer, and the Lu family began to become anxious. Even Lu Shanchang, who was the most cunning, stood up and paced back and forth with his hands on his back.

"Clang, Clang, Clang!"

"What sound? Where did the business come from? This is a business that beats gongs, people come from the water!" Lu Shanchang said immediately.

"It's coming by the water, and the Liuhe news has arrived!" Ximen Ye said loudly.
Chapter completed!
