Compared with Uncle Cao, Hu Bier from the Wuyuan Academy is just a bunch of impatient fools!
When he thought of the sour smell that permeated the campus today, Chaitino couldn't help but retched. He couldn't think about this. If he kept thinking about it, his dinner would be in vain.
The next day, before dawn, Cao Fu drove a borrowed ox cart, pulling Mr. Ruo Lin, Mrs. Liu, and the somewhat confused Yu Zhen'er, and drove slowly towards the martial arts academy.
Chai Tiannuo, wearing a pair of high-breasted clothes, followed on foot.
Before the New Deal, the results were released three days after the college examination. The new emperor, Tian Qi, was impatient and took a few pictures directly in the main hall. He stipulated that the results must be released the next morning to avoid some late-night operations taking advantage of the loopholes.
Mrs. Liu held Yu Zhen'er, who was sleeping in her arms, feeling very excited.
When he became a scholar, he became a completely different person from his former scholar, Hu Bier. Now that he had an officially recognized status, his life was completely different from then on.
In this way, I can also comfort the souls of my deceased brothers and sisters in heaven. Tiannuo is already a good talent and has never failed to live up to your expectations in the past.
It was just dawn when we arrived in De County, but there were already many people waiting under the south wall.
The lists of the Wenyuan and Martial Arts Schools are all posted here, with Wu on the left and Wen on the right. In the past, Chaitino and his family were concerned about the right list, but now, they have changed to the left list.
After waiting for nearly an hour, the government officials rode horses from the county government office. Everyone hurriedly got out of the way and watched eagerly as the government officials posted the list in a leisurely manner.
"The list has been posted. Everyone should look at the list. No crowding or confusion!"
The government officials shouted in unison and slowly moved away, and the crowd rushed over in an instant.
"In the fourth year of Xuantian, the head of the case at the Xueyin Academy of Shaoyin County was Chai Tiannuo!"
One of the tigers yelled out the name of the head of the case without looking at his own results.
There was a loud bang, and there were loud cheers outside the county school.
Chaitino smiled calmly, Mr. Ruolin and Mrs. Liu were smiling with tears in their eyes, and Yuzhen'er was jumping up and down happily, even happier than Chaitino himself.
"Chai Tiannuo, first in the strength test, first in the shooting test, first in the military test, first in the literary test!"
The tigers cheered loudly again, Chai Tiannuo was indeed welcomed by the public, unlike the desk leader of the Academy of Arts, where a bunch of people were muttering and talking about shady shit and bad luck.
The tigers all congratulated Chai Tiannuo one after another, but the teachers and scholars in the liberal arts college looked at Chai Tiannuo with complicated eyes.
I never thought that Chai Weili, who had been humiliated in the Academy of Arts, would become the most anticipated criminal in the Academy of Martial Arts!
The expressions of the people in the liberal arts college kept changing. Even though the red list was posted, they still felt a little incredible. How could there be such a big change in this short period of time?
Mr. Lu, who had a goatee, was sweating profusely, and his long gown was soaked with sweat.
Kong Jiaoyu suddenly returned to Beijing. As an abandoned son who had lost his backer, his future was in jeopardy!
In the corner of the crowd, the chubby Wei Zhongxian patted his big belly with emotion. His father was right. Tiannuo was as cold as a snowflake. It had been hidden in the ground for more than ten years. If it didn't make a sound, it would become a blockbuster!
The loud-voiced Hu Bi'er went on to read: Bian Sheng came second, Wu Xiucai; Shen Tuzi came third, Wu Xiucai; and an unknown Hu Bi'er came fourth, taking the last place for Wu Xiucai.
.
The number of places on the right list has also been announced. The odds of having three literary scholars among the four hundred scholars are a little higher than the four martial arts scholars among the six hundred tiger biers, but not too much.
Two days later, there was a row of flowing banquets in Ruolin Academy. Chai Tiannuo had become a scholar, so he should hold a banquet to thank him.
Almost all the instructors from the martial arts academy and Hu Bi'er came, and the congratulations never stopped. Fortunately, everyone just said congratulations and left, otherwise it would be impossible to entertain more than 600 people.
Parents of students from Ruolin Academy and nearby residents also came. Everyone was familiar with Chai Tiannuo. They never expected that the literary prodigy in their minds would become a martial arts scholar. It was incredible to think about it.
In the past two days, news spread throughout Mingyang Mansion.
After reading the article submitted by Yuwen Yuanbai, the professor of Fu Xue said with emotion:
"This is the best article in Mingyang Mansion in recent years."
"Chai Tiannuo is the number one among the thousands of doctors from both houses of Mingyang Mansion!"
"The former Three Hundred Miles Prodigy truly deserves his title!"
The day after the banquet, Mrs. Liu began to pack Chaitino's luggage.
Five days later, the seven scholars from the county school will set off collectively to go to the government school for further studies under the escort of the village soldiers. From then on, they can only go home once every six months.
One year later, in the autumn, it will be the biennial provincial examination. The time is extremely tight, so we must seize the time.
The separation was imminent, and Mr. Ruo Lin and his family were both happy and reluctant to leave. Tiannuo went to study. If he wanted to see him again, he didn't know when and what month.
In the autumn of next year, if Chai Tiannuo is admitted to the Juren Examination, the big exam in the spring will be held half a year later.
After the Spring Examination, everyone will enter the official career regardless of whether they pass the exam or not.
If you are admitted to Jinshi, there is a good chance that you will work in Luoyang, the capital of Dahua.
Luoyang is in the north. Although the journey is far, there is always a direction. There will be opportunities to meet, but it will be more difficult.
But if you fail the exam, the problem will be big.
Dahua's new policy does not support idlers, and those who fail the martial arts examinations will be randomly assigned to the army. If they arrive in the wild frontier, they will be so far apart that they may never have the chance to meet again in this life.
"My son, I can't take care of you anymore after I go to school in the government. You go to the mule and horse market and buy a clean one for yourself."
"It's so good that we can't afford it. I just want to help you run errands, carry the book basket for you, and take care of your daily needs."
Mrs. Liu handed over a dozen pieces of silver, and Chai Tiannuo took it and nodded lightly.
This is a matter of necessity. Now that I have become a scholar and have to study abroad, I cannot lack a person who is close to me and who I like.
After going out and saying hello to Cao Fu, Chai Tiannuo caught a carriage on the post road and ran all the way to the Lue Horse Market.
Since Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne, the rules set by the old emperor have indeed changed a lot. One of them is that the registered people of Dahua are not allowed to be slaves.
According to what the emperor said, the people are the foundation of the country. How can they be enslaved by others? Those who dare to take advantage of them will be exiled for three thousand miles!
At first, everyone didn't take it seriously, and there were too many servants. No matter how overbearing the emperor is, can he still control the people of the world?
It wasn't until the capital city dealt with thousands of people at once, including many first-class officials, that everyone realized that the emperor was really playing tricks!
For a time, the whole country was in panic, and the civil affairs department of the county government was overcrowded. In just three months, all registered citizens of Dahua were restored to freedom.
Since then, the status of the original servant has skyrocketed.
You can continue to work if you want, but you will have to pay a monthly salary to take care of food and housing. If you dare to beat and scold you without paying your wages, the head of the family will be dragged to the county government for half a day!
Speaking of which, this law does not have much impact on ordinary people. Most families support themselves and have no spare money to support others. Those who are really suffering are the wealthy families.
The wealthy gentry and merchants had huge fortunes, and many children, heirs, and concubines at home. They could hardly live without slaves, and this law was targeted at them!
In the words of the great emperor, the people of Dahua are all equal regardless of high or low. They should not bully others just because they are rich and powerful. Some people are so used to being comfortable that they can no longer even wipe their butts. It is time for them to learn to behave anew.
