Tribute
The night gradually became deeper, the cold was a little heavy, and the lights were brightly lit.
Outside the Gongyuan, the guards had not yet withdrawn. Teams of soldiers with spears were patrolling, blocking the examination room, and no one was allowed to enter.
In the Gongyuan, the Yuwei Army guarded the trial institute and patroled, and anyone who dared to break in would be killed.
In the tribute courtyard, all kinds of food have been prepared, including chickens, ducks, vegetables, and fruits. These days, they have been food in the courtyard and cannot go out.
All the officials of the room are not allowed to go out. They must review all the test papers and guard the door, just like nails. They are not only vigilant against outsiders, but also do not allow the officials of the room to go out.
A room officer put down his pen and rubbed his eyes. He reviewed the test papers in the room these days. He looked at the papers for too long and was a little dazzled. He rubbed them: "These hundreds of regular and secondary papers are just a few times before they can be reviewed. Now I just feel dizzy."
A room official in the room smiled and said, "It is necessary to select good people for this state, but it's almost seven or eight days, and I'm really tired."
Hearing this, another room officer said, "Okay, don't complain. We will finish the approval today. I will sleep until dawn tomorrow. The rest will be handed over to the deputy examiner for review, and then the ranking will be uploaded and the president will be the one who won the election."
Although Xu Liguo only held four subjects, the practice has been formed. In the state examination, although most of the house officials were local academic officials, the deputy examiners were all academic officials from other provinces for review, so there were no omissions.
The chief examiner is the president of the provincial examination, and the court sent people to check and balance the three parties to choose scholars.
"The test papers in each room have been reviewed!"
"After the review, the ranking of the award and the examination papers will be submitted to the president."
Hu Yingzhen read the first fifty volumes and generally felt that it was pretty good: "You have put your heart into it, and it is still fair to select scholars. I have not realized that there are any mistakes until now."
When I read the seventh volume, my eyes lit up as soon as I started: "Writing is like the person, it seems that this person must be elegant."
As I continued reading, I even thought to myself: "This person is almost as talented as a Jinshi!"
"But this paper is the seventh. Is the previous paper better than this one? Then this state bachelor's degree is amazing." Just as he was thinking, he began to read the next six volumes.
After reading it, I came back and frowned after taking the seventh volume, thinking to myself: "No, this article is a gap with other volumes, and there are no mistakes and taboos. At least the top three are the ones."
All of them are Jinshi, so naturally they understand that there is not much difference in articles, each has its own advantages, and they can rank them at will, but if the gap is widened, it will not work. The Ministry of Rites can speak even if it is hard.
After walking a few steps in the room, my eyebrows relaxed: "Although I missed my name in the exam, my article is as good as a torch at night. Even if I missed my name, I have to see it just by looking at this style."
"It must be that these local real estate officials have considered it, or they offended people, or they feel that this boy is young and suppressed." After thinking about it this way, they shook their heads, and they were a little dissatisfied, and put it first: "The first time Daxu was established, he followed the previous dynasty. This style must not be long, and this article can be the top of the list!"
As he said that, he put the test paper at the beginning and scanned the surroundings: "What do you think?"
"We have no objection." All the examiners responded.
At this time, the sky was getting brighter and the sun was revealed in the sky. There was a rooster crowing in the test yard. Hu Yingzhen said: "Since that's the case, the ranking has been decided, and the book will be opened!"
"The president has an order to open the book and copy the name."
The paper has been decided, but in fact, the juren has been decided.
Take out the corresponding dull name test paper, open it and put it on the name directory.
The first one is Pei Ziyun.
"The head of the case, Pei Ziyun, a scholar in Jiangping County!"
When the name was opened, all the officials were shocked, and even the president Hu Yingzhen was shocked: "Are you fifteen years old, are you too young?"
However, the ranking has been determined, so I remained silent.
One by one, one by one, one on the red list, thirty-three names were divided into three pieces, with only three in the first piece, followed by ten, and twenty again.
"Since there is no objection, just use seals."
More than 20 house officials took out their official seals and pressed them one by one on this list. In the end, even the president pressed the seal, which was officially decided.
"The test institute will open the door and deliver it to the Governor's Office and the court, and the list will be opened immediately."
Tribute
In addition to a small number of scholars who could still remain calm, were waiting for the reporter to come to the door at the inn, and many scholars had already arrived in front of the tribute courtyard.
"All the soldiers have withdrawn, it seems that they are about to leave the list." The screen wall of the Gongyuan was crowded with scholars.
"Boom!" The dragon gate opened and the yamen runners came out, and the scholars shouted: "There is a result, the result is a result!"
This sound was never made, but all the scholars shouted together, and the three-year state list carries the expectations of scholars.
Fu Mansion
The morning sun shone on the wall, a few magpies chirping, and more than a dozen scholars were in the hall at this time. Although the maid brought the meat porridge, no one was interested in it. Not to mention the scholar Yi, even Yu Guangmao was bathing and changing clothes, staring at the door with nervous eyes.
The Fu Mansion was close to him. After a while, there was a sound of horse hooves in front of the Fu Mansion. Then there was a sound of beating gongs and drums pouring into the mansion. Everyone present even stared at Pei Ziyun.
"Thirty-first place, Chen Jinchun, Honghou County, Dong'an Prefecture!" A team of reporters rushed up and shouted.
The gatekeeper had already prepared. Listening to the sound, one person entered the yard to report the good news, and the other person quickly opened the door and led the yamen runners into the room. The servants of the Fu Mansion were lighting firecrackers and ringing, which was to welcome the good news.
Chen Jinchun has been unknown all the time. At this time, he knelt on the ground with a "thump" and cried: "Dad, mom, I've been beaten, I've finally been beaten."
"I got thirty-five years old and finally passed the exam!"
Like a child, this man cried loudly on the ground. Yi Zhiquan forced a smile and stepped forward to help him up: "Congratulations, congratulations, this is a great thing."
In fact, everyone is nervous. Someone has passed the exam, what about themselves?
Even Yu Guangmao's face turned pale.
"The 21st place is Yu Guangmao, Fule County, Dong'an Prefecture!"
"Congratulations, congratulations!" Everyone was celebrating, and Yu Guangmao breathed a sigh of relief, regained some blood, and wiped his sweat embarrassedly: "I have lost my composure, everyone, forgive me."
No one answered, Yi Zhiquan and others were staring at the door, and there were many people watching and discussing on the street: "The Fu Juren is really talented. If these scholars live here, two masters will be won."
No one spoke, and continued to stare at the door. A team of reports passed by. As time passed, the hearts of scholars present gradually sank into the abyss. At this moment, another sound of gongs and drums approached. He ignored the crowds of onlookers and shouted: "Prefecture test results, Master Pei Ziyun, Jiangping County, Dong'an Prefecture, Master Pei, Jie Yuan of high school, and Beijing News was listed in the yellow academy!"
Yi Zhiquan and others felt like their bones were removed, and their energy disappeared immediately and they collapsed on their seats. Even Pei Ziyun, a time traveler, felt his head "buzzing", barely remained calm, and took out the reward and handed it over.
The yamen runner smiled and took the wedding money and congratulated him repeatedly.
The scholars who had not won all looked pale, looked dull, and were all lonely. Some even started to cry. Only Chen Jinchun and Yu Guangmao bowed together: "Congratulations to Brother Pei, Cheng understands Yuan!"
"Happy together, happy together." Pei Ziyun quickly replied. In fact, Jie Yuan and the last place in the provincial examination were not much different from the last place in the provincial examination, and the treatment was similar.
Every new juren is given a letter to indicate when you won the juren and how you ranked. It is usually exempted from 20 acres of land. Because of the previous dynasty's reimbursement, many people defected to the juren, and the government could not collect taxes. Daxu learned the lesson, and the juren was only allowed to exempt him from 20 acres.
The second is to give clothes and clothes. In fact, the clothes and clothes of juren are almost the same as those of official uniforms.
I gave me another plaque, a archway, and a archway was given twenty taels of silver, and a 30 taels of yuan was given more than thirty taels of treatment.
Juren can build a archway in front of the door to praise it, and plaques are hung on the gate, which represents the glory of the master and even the family. When outsiders see it, they will know that this family is a scholarly family and at least has Juren.
Those officials are polite to such families and will not bully them at any time.
In the midst of a noise, Juren Fu came over: "Congratulations, the three new Juren, I have set up a banquet, and I will invite you to the table."
As he said that, he waved his hand and saw firecrackers clattering at the door. The small garden in the mansion had already been lined up. At this moment, the wind was refreshing and the sun was warm, so it was not too cold.
The banquet was made with ancient rituals, with a single table, with the only exception being Yun Niang and Luo Li. These were all scattered in the garden, and they were not considered delicacies, but they looked like they had belly slices, duck soup, mutton beef, moon cakes, and watermelon slices... There were more than twenty tables in total.
Juren Fu smiled and said, "Everyone, please take your seat. If you haven't won the exam today, you don't have to be disappointed. If you come back three years later, you will still be young."
"Come on, drink!"
The scholars were all a little lonely, but they could not refuse this scene, because what if they passed the imperial examination next time?
At that moment, he forced a smile and raised his glass together. Juren Fu had served several scholars in this institute. Knowing the mood of these scholars, he didn't persuade them. After drinking a glass, he put down his glass and said, "Go to the theater!"
I saw several women turn out, and a pipa, and a woman sings wildly. This matter was a foregone conclusion. Many scholars also wanted to drink to relieve their sorrows. In the blink of an eye, a few glasses of wine were eaten. Yi Zhiquan was no exception. After three consecutive drinks, bloody color appeared on his pale face, and then he smiled: "Brother Pei, Brother Yu, I think that when you and I arrived in Zhoucheng on a boat that day, it was still yesterday, but after today, it was different."
After saying that, he clapped and laughed, but two lines of tears fell.
Pei Ziyun couldn't help but sigh. When he got along a few days ago, he naturally understood that Yizhi's whole family was not in good condition, and he was hardworking and tireless, so he could ask questions humbly.
Not to mention himself, other scholars can ask questions. Unfortunately, this world is not enough to work hard. Thinking of him saying that he failed this subject, he had to go home to teach, and he was not sad, but he had no words of comfort, so he had to raise his glass, venomously, and dries it.
Only the little loli, with a flushed face and excited look on her face, glanced at everyone and asked, "Auntie, is this the person who is a Juren? Just pass the exam, there will be changes."
Yun Niang couldn't help but sigh: "That's right, this Juren's fame is extraordinary, but this is the court's aura, not himself, but this must be remembered!"
Chapter completed!
