On February 27th, the fifteenth year of the Zhengde reign of the Ming Dynasty, the darkness before dawn had not yet faded away. The notice wall outside the Ministry of Rites was already crowded with people looking at the rankings. Honorable men like Xu Pengju had passed the exam last night.

The results of the examination were known in advance, but ordinary scholars and ordinary people did not have this ability, so they could only wait honestly outside the Ministry of Etiquette to look at the results. Of course, the calm candidates would stay at their residences and wait, and naturally someone with good news would come to announce the good news.

There is no need to come and see the list in person and suffer.

In Mingshi Square, all the conference halls opened their doors early, and everyone gathered in the lobby, anxiously waiting for the news. At this time, more than a hundred people gathered in the lobby of the Jiangxi Guild Hall, all of whom were Jinke participants.

Examples of exams.

Bang bang bang...

The sound of happy gongs came from far away from the direction of Gongyuan, making people nervous and expectant.

"Good news, congratulations to Huang Dacan, the winner of the Jiangxi Provincial Examination, and the 236th place in the Chinese Gengchen Science Examination!" A lucky man banged the gong and ran into the Jiangxi Guild Hall.

In an instant, the entire hall of the club became lively. Huang Dacan stood up suddenly and waved his fist excitedly: "I got it, I got it!"

Fei Maozhong smiled and said: "Congratulations to Brother Shaoyun!"

Wei Yang also smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations Shaoyun!"

The nearby candidates came forward to congratulate them. Although the 236th place was a bit behind, it was not easy to stand out among more than 3,000 candidates. If you performed well in the palace examination, you might be able to enter the top 100.

He was born as a Jinshi.

Huang Dacan is an honest man and is very popular among people of the same age. Everyone is sincerely happy for him.

"Good news, congratulations to Xiao Wan, a child from Jiangxi Province, who placed 99th in the Chinese Gengchen Examination!"

"Good news, congratulations to Zhou Xu, a graduate from Jiangxi Province, for placing 50th in the Chinese Gengchen Examination!"

Good news came intermittently, and the rankings of high school students were getting higher and higher. The atmosphere in the lobby of the club became more and more enthusiastic. Congratulations and laughter came one after another. Of course, there were also those who thought they had failed the exam and felt sad.

For example, Gong Xiang, a graduate from Qingjiang County, Jiangxi Province, was among the top ten in the Jiangxi Provincial Examination. His ranking was similar to that of Zhou Xu and Xiao Wan. However, Zhou Xu ranked among the top 50 in the National Examination, and Xiao Wan also ranked among the top 100 in the National Examination. But until now,

There is no such thing as his love interest, so the possibility of failing the list is already extremely high.

Xiao Wan patted the depressed Gong Xiang and comforted him: "Brother Gong, don't be discouraged, there is still a chance!"

Hearing this, Gong Xiang gathered up his energy and continued to wait. Maybe a miracle would happen? His policy topic imitated Xu Jin's insights. Even Governor Wang and his advisor Liu Tianmin were full of praise for Xu Jin's policy. Maybe he would try it.

Ranked in the top fifty?

Bang bang bang...

A series of gongs sounded, and a happy news person ran in like a whirlwind: "Good news, congratulations to Jiang Rubi, the graduate from Jiangxi Province, for placing 30th in the Chinese Gengchen Science Examination!"

The whole hall suddenly burst into excitement. This is the highest ranking among Jiangxi students. Everyone congratulated Jiang Xiangzi one after another.

Fei Maozhong and Wei Yang also became a little nervous at this time. They were ranked 30th and they didn't have their names yet. It was a bit dangerous!

At this moment, two wedding guests rushed into the lobby one after another and knocked the gongs in their hands loudly.

"Good news, congratulations to Li Zhe, a graduate of Jiangxi Province, who placed 28th in the Chinese Gengchen Examination!"

"Good news, congratulations to Wei Yang, the son of Jiangxi Province, who placed twenty-fifth in the Chinese Gengchen Examination!"

Wei Yang was overjoyed, and his tense heart was suddenly relieved. He stood up and bowed to the congratulatory congratulatory groups around him. Fei Maozhong became even more restless. Even his senior brother Wei Yang was only ranked twenty-five, but he hadn't had his turn yet.

, could it be true that he failed the exam? No way!

After several cups of tea, no more wedding guests entered the Jiangxi Guild Hall, but the sound of gongs from the Zhejiang Guild Hall next door kept coming.

Jiangxi and Zhejiang are both major provinces that have taken imperial examinations in the past. In each joint examination, the number of high school students in the two provinces each accounts for about 10%. Moreover, Jiangxi usually has a slight advantage over Zhejiang. In addition, those who have served as chief ministers of the cabinet

People from Jiangxi are equally matched with people from Zhejiang.

At this time, the Jiangxi officials heard the incessant sound of the gong in the Zhejiang Guild Hall next door, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Could it be that Jinke was overshadowed by the Zhejiang people?

At this moment, there was a sound of gongs outside the guild hall, and a wedding official ran in, banging the gong, and shouted: "Good news, congratulations to Fei Maozhong, the son of Jiangxi Province, for placing fifth in the Chinese Gengchen Examination!"

boom……

The whole lobby was excited again, I will try for fifth place, awesome!

Fei Maozhong's face turned red with excitement. He placed fifth. He actually tried for fifth place. Unexpected, unexpected!

"Congratulations to Minshou!" Jiang Yun patted Fei Maozhong on the shoulder vigorously. Only then did the latter react and immediately asked Mingyan to reward Xicha.

At this time, another happy messenger ran past on the street, beating a gong and shouting: "Congratulations to Zhejiang Juzi Lu Zhuo for placing third in the Chinese Gengchen Science Examination!"

Damn it! Now all the Jiangxi candidates are depressed. They just won a fifth place, and a third place came from Zhejiang right away. This is the rhythm of being beaten to death!

Li Zhe frowned and said, "Lu Zhu just got third place. Who is second and who is first?"

At this time, a candidate for examination came running in panting, shouting excitedly: "Excellent name, Gu'an examination candidate Yang Weicong ranked second in the examination. Guess who is the candidate?"

"Brother Zhang, stop showing off, who is it?" Everyone urged loudly.

The man surnamed Zhang laughed with an exaggerated expression: "Haha, I would never have thought that this person is our great talent in Jiangxi, Xu Jin and Xu Ziqian, who is unparalleled in poetry and has won four yuan in a row!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire lobby fell into deathly silence, and then a huge sound wave erupted, and it felt like the roof was about to be blown off.

Fei Maozhong was stunned and then laughed loudly: "The first place in the test, Xu Wuyuan, Zi Qian, you guys are so awesome!"

"It's true or false. Didn't it say that Xu Jin's paper was deposed by Shi Shilang?"

"Hey, it's more real than pearls. If you don't believe it, you can go to the Ministry of Etiquette and see the list yourself. It says in white and black letters that the first Huiyuan is Xu Jin!"

"Wow, I'm convinced. I'm so impressed that Xu Ziqian is truly a god!"

"Haha, we are both from Jiangxi, how honored we are!"

Gong Xiang's face was pale and he even ranked first, so he naturally failed. But what Gong Xiang couldn't accept was that Xu Jin won the first place in the examination. Why did he fail to imitate him? It's not fair, it's not fair.

ah!

Since Xu Jin was a hot favorite in Huiyuan before the exam, Gong Xiang deliberately imitated Xu Jin's political philosophy. He originally wanted to take advantage of it, but his textbook was also "Spring and Autumn". As a result, Shi Yun mistakenly thought that the exam paper was

Xu Jin's was deposed immediately, which was not an ordinary bad luck!

…

In the house of Mingshifang, the beautiful maid Yue'er, Chuchun and Chunxia were sitting in the hall, looking eagerly towards the courtyard gate, their necks stretched out, but there was still no servant waiting to announce the good news.

"There's no reason, why hasn't the wedding come to your door yet!" Yue'er muttered in her heart, her little mouth pouty enough to hang an oil bottle.

Chu Xia whispered in confusion: "Sister, did I fail the exam?"

Chuchun shook his head and replied in a low voice: "I don't know. With my talent and learning, I should be able to win!"

At this time, Xie Xiaowan was standing outside Xu Jin's study. She stretched out her hand several times and then retracted it.

What hope do you have?

In fact, Xie Xiaowan didn't care too much whether her husband could be a Jinshi. She was already very satisfied with her current life. But when she saw her husband locking herself in the study, Xiao Nizi felt very uncomfortable. She wanted to go in to comfort her, but

Don't know what to say.

Finally, Xie Xiaowan gritted her teeth, gently opened the door and walked in. When she saw her husband sitting in a daze behind the desk, Xiaowan's heart suddenly felt like being pricked by a needle, and she softly called out with red eyes: "My husband

!”

Xu Jin came back to his senses and said with a smile: "My wife is here, come here and let me hug you!" After saying this, he patted his thigh.

Xie Xiaowan's pretty face turned red, she walked over obediently, her round and elastic little buttocks sat on Xu Jin's lap, and she curled up into Xu Jin's arms like a kitten.

Xu Jin hugged Xiaowan's slender waist, greedily breathed in the fragrance of the woman's hair, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, are you worried about your husband? Don't worry, it's just a failure. What a big deal!"

Xiao Wan is a girl who can't hide her worries. Her worries are almost written on her face. How could Xu Jin not see it?

Xiaowan stuck out her tongue and pouted: "It makes me feel bad to see my husband unhappy!"

Xu Jin gently scratched Xiaowan's nose lovingly, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, my husband is not happy anymore, he is just thinking about some problems. The weather is nice today, will you go out for an outing?"

Xie Xiaowan said happily: "Okay, I'll get ready right away!"

At this moment, there was a sudden rush of gongs outside the courtyard. When Erniu opened the courtyard door and took a look, his eyes suddenly widened and he ran into the house, shouting as he ran: "My lord and madam, I'm so happy."

Oh my God, the happy news is here!"

Xu Jin was stunned for a moment, and Xie Xiaowan's eyes radiated with surprise, and she immediately rushed out of the study, as agile as a little leopard. Xu Jin also followed out quickly. At this time, Yue'er, Chuchunchuxia, and Xiao Yudie all ran over.

In the courtyard.

boom……

When the happy man saw a group of charming women running out, his eyes widened. He was stunned for a few seconds before he came back to his senses. He banged the gong and sang loudly: "Good news, congratulations to Xu Jin, the son of Jiangxi Province, the Chinese Geng

The first place in Chenke’s examination will be Huiyuan!”

"Ah, Huiyuan, I won the first place!" Yue'er, the beautiful maid, screamed with joy.
Chapter completed!
