Chapter 2180, when the gold list title, the phone is off the hook
"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers!"
"The list will be released today, the list will be released today!"
In the capital city in early winter, accompanied by bursts of cold wind, the shouts of newsboys resounded throughout the streets and alleys of the capital city.
Today is the day when the test results will be released. The whole capital is looking forward to it. When it gets dark, a large number of people go to Gongyuan.
Every time when the results of the imperial examination are released, those high school students will throw out a lot of wedding money. It is said that in the past few days, many people have ordered their servants and servants to prepare wedding money.
A large amount of copper coins were packed in sacks. When the results were released, it was time for high school students to spend money freely.
"Brother Hu! Brother Hu!"
Sun Yun and Chen Maoyi arrived at Hu Xiwen's rental house early. The servants behind them both carried a heavy bag of copper coins. This was the wedding money prepared in advance. As long as they are in high school, they will all be scattered when the time comes.
.
"Brother Sun, Brother Chen!"
Hu Xiwen also got up early. To be honest, he didn't sleep well last night. Before the results were released, everyone was extremely anxious.
Can I be in high school, soar to the sky, and can I be named on the gold list today?
Without any need for words, the three of them directly called a rickshaw and headed straight to Gongyuan.
When the three of them arrived at Gongyuan, even though it was still very early, the place was already crowded with people. Thousands of people were already waiting in the huge square outside Gongyuan.
The square was full of people watching the excitement and grabbing money for the wedding. There were groups of scholars standing around the square. Although they all seemed to be chatting and laughing, they were actually very nervous. They looked at the time from time to time.
Look at the big wall outside the Gongyuan where the results are posted, anxiously waiting for the results to be released.
"Brother Hu, Brother Sun, Brother Chen."
When Hu Xiwen, Sun Yun, and Chen Maoyi arrived, they also met many acquaintances. Meeting each other was also a courtesy from Brother Hu.
The three of them arrived at the area where Sichuan candidates gathered, and immediately many fellow villagers started chatting again.
"How did the three brothers do in the exam this time?"
"Hey, don't mention it. The new exam is a mess. This time, I will lose my reputation in the designation."
"Brother Wang, don't be discouraged. The newly learned content only accounts for 30%. As long as the articles are well written, there is still hope. What's more, everyone's new test results are very poor this time, which means that in the end, the article will speak for itself.
.”
"Brother Sun, how did you do in the exam this time?"
"Generally, generally, I don't even dare to expect it."
"Yes, the questions this time are indeed too biased. Moreover, a new test has been added and a score system has been introduced. I don't know what the final result will be."
"I heard that Brother Hu did well in the exam this time. He must be able to go to high school."
"Yes, Brother Hu knows a lot about new learning. The scores in this exam will definitely be much higher. High school is inevitable."
"Where, where? It's something no one can say for sure."
Hu Xiwen smiled and chatted with the fellow villagers around him, while also waiting anxiously.
To be honest, he was really looking forward to going to high school. However, touching his wallet, Hu Xiwen was afraid that after high school, he would be laughed at and would not even be able to get out the money.
Now, Hu Xiwen doesn't have much money left. If he fails the exam, it doesn't matter if he takes the train directly home. But if he is in high school, he will still have to take the palace examination, and then he will have to stay in the capital for some time. This
I don't have much silver.
This time we have to give money to the emperor, and after the next imperial examination, when the ranking is confirmed, we have to give money to the officials who announced the good news, and we also have to give money to the people who come to congratulate us. This is really stretched.
There is no way, there are too many places for scholars to spend money.
Everyone waited anxiously until ten o'clock in the morning, when an official came with the list. The scene immediately became lively, and everyone looked at it.
Many people's servants and bookboys were already waiting early, huddled together, trying to find out if their son's name was available as soon as possible.
Soon, the red list was posted.
Different from the past where there was only one name and place of origin, this time there are also points. From the first place to more than 700 people, everyone has points. At the same time, there are officials and government servants who are reading with loudspeakers. This way,
It can make it easier for more people to know whether they are in high school or not.
"Tang Shunzhi, Tianjin Prefecture, North Zhili, scored 89 points! First place!"
As the official called out a name, a group of people in a corner around the square cheered.
"Congratulations, Brother Tang!"
"Congratulations to Brother Tang!"
"Brother Tang, you are number one, you are Huiyuan!"
Around a man in his thirties, everyone congratulated him.
With a smile on his face, Tang Shunzhi took a cloth bag from his book boy's hand, filled it with a lot of broken silver, and started to scatter it directly.
Too wealthy and too rich.
The people in Tianjin Prefecture are indeed very rich. Others prepared only copper coins. They just prepared broken silver. The broken silver in this cloth bag was at least thousands of taels of silver. He kept going like this.
Sprinkle it down.
As Tang Shunzhi scattered money, the surrounding area suddenly became lively. Countless people tried their best to grab the wedding money, especially when they saw that it was broken silver, they were even more excited. This was just throwing money away.
Tianjin people are rich.
Tang Shunzi kept throwing money away, and was extremely happy in his heart. He got the first place in the exam. This was mainly because Tianjin and Beijing were the best places for the development of new learning. Even traditional scholars were exposed to the knowledge and content of new learning.
There are more students, so he did very well in the new subjects.
"Hu Xiwen of Chengdu Prefecture, Sichuan scored 88 points, second place!"
The official and yamen servant here also continued to read.
When Hu Xiwen heard about Chengdu Prefecture in Sichuan, his whole body was tense. When he heard his name, he couldn't help but cheered: "Haha, I got it, I got it!"
I’m so happy that I’m in high school!
"Congratulations to Brother Hu, congratulations to Brother Hu!"
When the Sichuan fellows around him heard this, they all looked envious and jealous, but soon they all sent congratulations to Hu Xiwen.
Hu Xiwen has entered high school and will be different from them in the future.
Hu Xiwen is like a carp that has jumped over the dragon's gate. The palace examination is just a formality and a ranking. As long as you can pass the examination, you will be a Jinshi, and from now on you will be an official.
Moreover, Hu Xiwen was able to rank second, which is enough to show his talent. He will probably be able to rank high in the imperial examination. In addition, he is very young, so he has a bright future.
There will be many things for everyone to pray for Hu Xiwen in the future. Even if they are envious and jealous, this congratulation is absolutely indispensable.
Hu Xiwen smiled and said to the fellow villagers around him, while the people around him who were grabbing the wedding money looked at Hu Xiwen eagerly, expecting him to give away the wedding money quickly.
"Brother Hu, hurry up and launder your money. You must not miss money when you name this gold list."
Chen Maoyi immediately saw Hu Xiwen's embarrassment, took a bag of wedding money that he had prepared in advance from the hands of his book boy, and handed it to Hu Xiwen.
"Brother Chen, thank you!"
Hu Xiwen quickly thanked him, saying that he really had no money.
"How can I thank you?"
Chen Maoyi said with a smile.
Hu Xiwen scattered a lot of copper coins, and the surrounding area suddenly became lively, with a large number of people constantly grabbing the lucky money.
Although Hu Xiwen felt sorry for money, this was not the time to be stingy. These handfuls of copper coins were scattered like rain.
After scattering the copper coins, Hu Xiwen also said to the fellow villagers around him: "I'm going to call and tell my family the good news."
After saying that, he also walked towards the phone booth. At this time, there were already a large number of bookboys waiting at the phone booth. They were just waiting for their son to enter high school and immediately announced the good news to their family.
Because Hu Xiwen was the second place, he knew it right away, and there was no one around at this time.
Soon, the call was connected.
"Hey~ I'm Hu Xiwen, I'm in high school! I'm in high school!"
As soon as the call was connected, Hu Xiwen shouted excitedly.
"Are you in high school?"
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
"Your parents are with me."
On the other end of the phone, the charterer suddenly said in surprise when she heard this, and quickly handed the phone to Hu Xiwen's parents.
After Hu Xiwen's parents answered the phone and heard Hu Xiwen's words, they were all ecstatic.
"Okay, okay, great, our Hu family finally has a scholar and an official."
Hu Xiwen's parents were so excited that they almost cried.
In order to support Hu Xiwen's studies, the couple endured a lot of hardships and tiredness, and shamelessly borrowed a lot of money from relatives and friends.
Now it finally pays off.
Soon, Hu Xiwen's parents also lit the prepared firecrackers and excitedly announced to the neighbors that their son had entered high school.
In an instant, the entire neighborhood knew about it, and the news quickly spread in Chengdu. Soon everyone knew that the son of a migrant couple here had graduated from high school, had been named a gold medalist, and had become famous since then.
After many well-known people in Chengdu learned the news, they even sent people to send congratulatory gifts. Those who can be named on the gold list during this period are destined to become prosperous in the future.
At the Capital Gongyuan side, all the lists have been posted.
"You've got it, young master, you've got it!"
"Master, Master, high school, high school!"
"Sir, high school, high school, total score is 82 points!"
As similar sounds continued to sound, all the scholars on the scene suddenly laughed excitedly, and there were a lot of envious and jealous eyes around them.
The phone booth suddenly became extremely lively, with calls being made to people all over the Ming Dynasty, spreading the good news to all directions.
PS: Although it is difficult to pass the Jinshi exam in ancient times, if you pass the exam, you will be awesome!
