Magistrate Qiu Buchu and Tixue Fan Zhengxiong got off the carriage on the side of the street not far from Fuxue. Wearing red official robes, they walked slowly towards Fuxue.
Behind them, there followed a group of officials who were also wearing official robes, but in their hands were several rolls of red silk cloth.
Everyone's eyes immediately fell on the rolls of red silk cloth. Every scholar held his breath and concentrated, feeling that his heartbeat had accelerated several points.
It's like being walked in by a teacher with a paper and the test scores are about to be announced.
On the red silk cloth are the rewards of their hard study over the years.
Song Mu was also staring intently at the moment, staring at the magistrate and Ti Xue as they walked to the front of the Fuxue gate.
Magistrate Qiu and Fan Tixue both had a bit of a smile on their faces. At this moment, they glanced at the students with narrowed eyes, and then each nodded while stroking their beards.
The clerk next to him began to read out the process. Magistrate Qiu stepped forward to encourage him, and then Fan Tixue also stepped forward.
Lord Tixue was talking here, and soldiers over there were already working together to hang the bundled silk cloth on the arch. As Fan Tixue finished speaking, two red ropes tied with red silk cloth were handed to Qiu respectively.
Bu Chu and Fan Zhengxiong.
The one tied with two red ropes is the one on the list, that is, the students who have successfully achieved scholarly status.
The other one is the secondary list, which is the scroll of searching for children who can be baptized by Wenxing again.
At this moment, everyone held their breath and concentrated. Fan Tixue also grasped the red rope tightly, saluted towards the north, and then shouted.
"God bless the great scholar, the most holy man of Confucianism and Taoism!"
"God bless the great scholar, the most holy man of Confucianism and Taoism!"
A group of students shouted out, and then Fan Tixue waved and pulled off the red rope in his hand.
"Release the results and open the entrance to the examination hall! Welcome the new talents from Jizhou Prefecture!"
As soon as the words fell, the whole street suddenly burst into joy. The cheers and applause were deafening. The cheers and firecrackers went off in unison. Two rows of soldiers slowly pushed open the heavy door of the mansion, and the shackles of the red silk were untied.
The cloth fluttered in the wind and slowly fell.
Song Mu felt goosebumps running through his body, and the endless longing in his heart surged up at that moment.
The red silk fell, and the golden names appeared. The names were arranged from high to low. On the red cloth several feet high, these names shone brightly under the sunlight, shining dazzlingly.
"Announcement!"
Fan Tixue spoke again, and the deputy examiner Xiao Li was already holding a list and starting to read out.
"In the 27th year of Chongwen's reign, he won the first place in the Jizhou Prefecture Examination!"
"Shiyang County, Song Mu!"
"Second place, Jizhou Prefecture, Xue Kaiwen!"
"Third place, Wan'an County, Zhang Yiqi!"
..."Sixth place, Taihe County, Cui Keke!"
..."No. 15, Shiyang County, Kong Zong!"
Xiao Li, who was born in the same Jinshi class, was now using his literary skills, and his voice was like thunder. Every time his name was called out, it shook the whole audience, and countless people cheered together.
Among the students, there were also cheers of joy at this moment.
But where the students from Shiyang County were standing, there was total silence at the moment.
"Did I hear you correctly? The head of the case is Brother Song?"
"No...that's right, look at the main list, the first one is Brother Song!"
Several students murmured immediately and pointed to the red list that had been unfolded outside the entrance of the examination hall.
Everyone raised their heads at this moment, wiped their eyes again, and then looked intently. When they saw Song Mu's name hanging high on the red list, they exclaimed in their hearts.
Master Xun couldn't help being shocked. At this moment, he also took a few steps forward, looked intently, confirmed that it was Song Mu's name, and then turned to look at Ouyang Hong next to him.
Ouyang Hong, who was already very satisfied, stroked his beard and looked at the students behind him. Master Xun turned around with a somewhat excited look, and immediately saw Song Mu, who stood out among the team.
Song Mu's heart was also agitated at this moment.
When the first person who called out his name was his own name, Song Mu exhaled heavily, and after a moment, he took another deep breath.
Now, it can be regarded as comforting Song Mu who has been studying hard for many years.
Song Mu slowly raised his head and saw everyone around him looking at him. Kong Zong was standing next to him. At this moment, he also stepped forward, cupped his hands and said.
"Brother Song, congratulations!"
Several scholars next to him also came up, and they also handed over and congratulated him!
"Brother Song, congratulations!"
Several people said this, and Song Mu also congratulated each other one by one, and his face gradually calmed down.
My previous imagination has finally come true.
Song Mu was thinking this, but at this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted loudly, and with a bit of surprise, he suddenly fell to his knees and cried bitterly.
This sudden situation also stunned Song Mu. He and everyone else looked at the team, only to see not far behind him, a student from Shiyang County was squatting on the ground, covering his face and crying.
This person turned out to be Shao Le.
A scholar next to him reacted and said with emotion at this moment.
"During the Shao Le Academy examination, I almost became a scholar. I thought I would have to wait another year, but now, unexpectedly, I got on this fiercely competitive secondary list."
Song Mu turned to look at the list. On the list, the third one was Shao Le.
After entering the deputy list, he can be baptized as a literary star again together with the scholars. For Shao Le, who is halfway to the level, it is like God giving him a chance.
Shao Le also gradually stopped crying. He stood up and raised his hands to those around him.
Everyone went up to congratulate him, and Song Mu also walked over and cupped his hands to congratulate him.
"Brother Shao, congratulations."
Shao Le raised his head and looked at Song Mu, with a moved expression on his face and he held his hand towards Song Mu.
"Brother Song, I'm glad that Shao Le also accepted Brother Song's love. This time, he will definitely work hard to become a scholar!"
Shao Le was very emotional at this moment. After all, during this period of time, he was taking care of Song Mu in the county school, and he could witness the completion of the poems of Jiu Dou with his own eyes, which made him feel more emotional and understanding.
In this exam, Shao Le could clearly feel his superb performance.
I thought I would have to wait until the next time to fight again, but I didn't expect that now I am on the deputy list, and now I have the hope of becoming a scholar.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Shao Le's face is also full of excitement at this moment, and he is very much looking forward to this baptism of literary stars.
A group of students congratulated each other, some cried with joy, some beamed, and some looked dejected.
Everyone has their own thoughts, but even so, they have calmed down at this moment and are ready to read the next paper.
After the results of the college examination are released, the top three papers in each subject will be posted and displayed. Everyone wants to see how the top three papers in the college examination are written.
In particular, what kind of articles and poems did Song Mu, who suddenly rose to prominence and received the favor of a semi-saint, write?
After a while, Xiao Li finally finished reading the name in his hand, and then Fan Tixue waved his hand and shouted to everyone in the field.
"The talented men and women on the list come forward to study in the government and be baptized by literary stars!"
After this shouting, the teachers from each county pointed out the students on the list who were on the list, and then walked forward one by one.
Song Mu was naturally the first in line, and together with Ouyang Hong, they brought students from Shiyang County forward.
At this moment, someone also started to roll call.
"In the 27th year of Chongwen's reign, the Jizhou Prefectural Court Examination Case Headed, Shiyang County, Song Mu, there were fifty-six candidates for the Shiyang County Court Examination, eleven on the main list and one on the deputy list!"
The official said this, and everyone around him was shocked.
In one county school, one-fifth of the candidates passed the exam to become a scholar.
As they sighed, they immediately looked at the young man standing at the top.
He was a handsome young man with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, tall and tall, smiling, and exuding an elegant and tranquil temperament.
Such a case leader was not only talented, but also handsome, which immediately caused many girls watching in the teahouse to scream.
