Time passed day by day, and by the time the candidates regained their strength and started walking again, it was already the day when the results of the provincial examination were released.

On this day, many candidates will choose to go to teahouses and taverns to wait for the results with their friends, which is also simple.

If you want to be an official, have fame and connections, money is essential.

Money is abundant in Jian Jian, but reputation and connections need to be managed slowly and accumulated bit by bit by Jian Jian.

And by being with them, you can also learn things you don't know and angles of problems you haven't thought of.

As soon as he arrived at the teahouse where many students and literati gathered, Jian Jian was called over by his friend.

After bowing to Jin Yaocheng and other friends, he simply sat down in a random position.

"Brother Qingyang, you are here."

Jian Yi replied with a smile, then calmed down and listened to the talk of the students at the same table.

This is also a point that many students like simplicity.

Generally speaking, Jian Jian is relatively low-key. Only if people talk about him and let him write poems and paintings, otherwise Jian Jian will never show off easily, be in the limelight, and not give others a chance to express themselves.

In addition, when Jian Yi sits with many students to discuss knowledge, he will not speak, but he will listen to others very carefully, understand other people's opinions, and recognize certain points in your words, and continue the discussion based on the points he agrees with.

.

When talking and doing things together with Jian Yi, the whole process will be pleasant and comfortable. If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be like a spring breeze.

Therefore, Jian Jian is a person who is very recognized and popular among students in the circle, and is quite prestigious among the younger generation.

"Brother Qingyang, do you have confidence in this subject?" Jin Yaocheng asked curiously.

Jian Yan was not pretentious and nodded with a smile. Seeing this, all the students present burst into laughter.

"That's right. If Brother Qingyang doesn't have one, what will we do?" a student said jokingly.

As if to prove something, before Jian Yi could reply, the teahouse started to stir. A moment later, a group of government servants came over beating gongs and drums to announce the good news.

"Congratulations to Master Shengxing Yuan for winning the first place in the provincial examination."

"Congratulations to Master Shengxing Yuan for winning the first place in the provincial examination."

"Congratulations to Master Shengxing Yuan for winning the first place in the provincial examination."

The shouts got closer and closer, and finally the leading official was led up to the second floor by Si Mo to announce the good news to Jian Yan.

Hearing the congratulations from the people around him, Jian Yi was very happy. After thanking the official who announced the good news, Jian Yi took the purse handed over by Si Mo and personally gave it to the official who announced the good news.

After the official left, the atmosphere in the teahouse became high again, and then the owner of the teahouse came up in person to give a gift to Jian Yan and waive the order.

Jian Yi then waited for a while with his friends in the teahouse. After confirming that all the friends who had been successful were notified by the official officials, and congratulating them, and making an appointment with them to go to Beijing, Jian Yi returned to the academy.

Because we were waiting for the results of the provincial examination to come out, it was already the end of September, and the date of the general examination was on the ninth day of February of the following year. In addition, transportation in ancient times was not very convenient, so we had to make time.

In order to adapt to the environment and climate of the capital and take time to review their homework, those who do not live in the capital usually start their journey after the results of the provincial examination are released.

Therefore, during this trip to Beijing, in addition to Jian Jian and his classmates from the same school, there were also candidates from other schools. The group plus the servants of the bookboys, Jian Jian estimated that there were more than a hundred people in all types of people.

After returning to the academy, Jian Jian first sent someone to pack the parcel briefly, and then went out to buy some things that could be used on the way to the academy.

The next day was the Luming Banquet, which was hosted by local officials and hosted a banquet for the new imperial examination candidates and internal and external officials.

The banquet was held in the afternoon, and by the time everyone arrived, it was almost time to have dinner after dark.

Jian Jian is the first name, located on the left side of the new imperial examination sub-column, at the head table. The fruits and delicacies on the table are also good things that ordinary people rarely see.

Soon the banquet started. After the examiner and academic administrator expressed their thoughts one by one, they could officially start using chopsticks.

Because Jian Jian's name is very bright, Jian Jian was also the busiest and most dazzling one in the whole dinner party.

Before I had eaten more than two bites of food or drank a sip of wine, I had to start composing poems and lyrics, writing notes for others, and making friends with the academicians and fellow students in the same department.

Jian Jian, who was already in the limelight, became more popular than ever tonight because he won the favor of many adults, and he also gained the respect of the students.

This time, no one was interested in the name of Simple Master. Everyone became very elegant and talkative. They changed glasses and drank a few more glasses of wine.

As soon as he toasted and sat down, there was someone who was jealous of the simple move and asked loudly: "I heard that Brother Qingyang just started to read and read in school five years ago? I wonder if Brother Qingyang is good at studying?

If you have any special experiences, can you tell us about them so that we can learn and make some progress as soon as possible and please the elders in the family?"

Jian Yan heard this and turned around to look at the questioner.

The other students couldn't help but their eyes lit up when they heard the man's question, and they all looked at Jian Yi, hoping that Jian Yi could give them an answer, and also hoped that it was true and would make their road to the imperial examination easier.

.

However, the examiner this time, Bachelor Chen, frowned and was very unhappy with the reaction of the students present. As a result, his good impression of Jian Jian also faded a bit.

Jian Yi stood up unhurriedly and looked around at everyone watching him.

Jian Jian didn't show any pretense, he simply added three and subtracted five from the original owner's past events, and said it sincerely.

"Brother Miao Zan, although he only started to study seriously in school a few years ago, when he was still a child, he once read some words behind his playmates in the same village. For this reason, he also asked for help.

My father spent his family’s savings to buy elementary school books, and this gave him the opportunity to formally come into contact with books.

Originally, my father had agreed with me that he would not be able to send me to school once I had enough money, but I didn’t expect that I would get caught up in all kinds of trivial matters, and I just didn’t have enough money to go to school, so I was unable to go to school earlier.”

After saying that, Jian Yi saw that everyone was listening to him and said again:

"However, even though I have never been to school, under the guidance of my father, I studied hard every day, cherished every opportunity to study, and read the elementary school books my father bought over and over again. Therefore, this is how I came to be.

Today's um.

In my opinion, there is a path to the mountain of books, and only hard work can lead to harvest."

"good."

"Well said."

"Brother Qingyang, you are right."

As soon as Jian Yuan finished his reply, praises started to ring out one after another. Everyone praised Jian Yuan for his honesty and honesty, and his pure heart that was dedicated to learning.

Master Chen's expression softened, and there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes as he looked at Jian Yi.

Also, Jian Yi has just turned 20 years old this year, and he has won four yuan in succession at a young age. The poems and articles he publishes on weekdays can also be called masterpieces, and his literary talent is very remarkable.

Not only is he talented, his character and temperament are also very popular among students, and he is highly valued by everyone.
