The day when the results are released is always very lively. Even before the red list is posted, thousands of people have gathered here at the place where the results are released. There are anxiously waiting candidates, and there are also officers who specialize in announcing the good news. The officers are rewarded for reporting the good news.
For wealthy owners, if they spend a lot of reward money, it can be considered a considerable income.
There are also a lot of melon-eating people who have nothing to do and watch the excitement. The provincial examination is a major event every three years, and every government in the capital will send people here to inquire about the news.
Because there are so many people in the place where the list is released, it even attracts many vendors to do business, and some fortune-telling charlatans also come here, so the business is actually quite booming.
Of course, this is not the most lively time. The real excitement will have to wait until next year's spring examination. The provincial examination is only for scholars and candidates, and it is only for the reference of students from various prefectures in Northern Zhili.
During the Chunwei Examination, the talents from all over the Ming Dynasty came for reference. Those who could come were all Juren masters, and their level was naturally higher. Of course, the standards were also higher. After the examination, there would be the palace examination, and the emperor would hand-pick the number one scholar, and the number one scholar would be the leader.
The most lively time in the entire capital is when many new students are parading around the streets.
At that time, both men and women, young and old, and all the young ladies living in the boudoir compound would come out to see the style of the number one scholar, the style of the new scholar, and even some powerful families would come.
Catching a son-in-law under the ranking is also a good story.
"It's really lively~"
Liu Jin was naturally full of confidence. In fact, he didn't need to come to see it at all, but he still wanted to come and join in the excitement of the ancient imperial examination results.
"Teacher, this is not the most lively time. It won't be lively until the exams next year. Especially when the new champion is parading through the streets, there will be a huge crowd of people."
Huang Jinquan smiled and said to Liu Jin that he was older and had taken the provincial examination before, but he failed. Because he was from Beizhili, he would not be in a hurry to go back. Naturally, he stayed here in the capital and witnessed what he had experienced for three years.
The grand occasion of an imperial examination.
"Yes, I was lucky enough to witness the grand occasion here in the capital last time. Life is like this, so what else can I ask for?"
Tong Yuan also said with emotion, when he saw others parading around in Xinke Jinshi Mansion, he naturally felt extremely envious and jealous in his heart.
But now, he can also imagine whether he will have the opportunity to wear the Jinshi uniform and parade in the streets next year. Just thinking about it, he can't help but get excited.
"The list is released~ The list is released~"
I don't know who shouted, and the already bustling scene suddenly became quiet. Everyone turned their eyes to the red list, and many people crowded in.
A guard wearing a red belt came over with a red list in his hand. Everyone voluntarily made way for them, and everyone stared at the red list in the hand of the guard.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the guards began to post red lists. The first one posted was the red list of the top three, which had the largest number of people. On the red list of the top three, one could see the names written in large vermilion characters.
"Haha~ I got it, I got it~"
As soon as the list was posted, someone immediately saw his name on it and couldn't help shouting in excitement.
After the people nearby heard this, they all cast envious and jealous looks. If you win the title of Juren, it is really like a salted fish turning around and a carp leaping over the dragon's gate. From now on, even if you do nothing, at least you will have enough food and clothing.
, naturally a lot of people donated their land.
"Hua La La~ Hua La La~"
The person who won the lottery took out a lot of copper coins, and began to throw money desperately at the crowd. This is called happy money. The crowd suddenly surged, and everyone started to compete for these happy coins.
Those who didn't see their names were secretly nervous. The number of people in the top three was the largest, and more than half of them were on the top three list.
"Teacher~"
Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan put down the telescopes in their hands. There were too many people and they arrived too late. There was no way to squeeze in. Liu Jin also led the two of them to a slightly higher place, and it was the same with the telescopes.
Huang Jinquan put down the telescope in his hand and shook his head slightly disappointedly. At the same time, he became nervous because there were no three names on the top three.
Liu Jin was still very calm. If he entered the top three list, then the candidates from Beizhili would be too good, so he was not worried at all.
Soon, the second-A list was also posted. There were only a few dozen names on the second-A list. Although the second-A and third-A rankings were both considered successful, there was still a big difference. The third-A ranking was at the bottom.
Getting in can only be regarded as luck, and those who are ranked in the top two are considered to have real talent and learning.
"It's hit~ It's hit~"
Soon, Huang Jinquan couldn't help shouting with excitement, because he easily found his and Tong Yuan's names on the top two list. Huang Jinquan was second in the top two, and Tong Yuan was fifth in the top two. This
The ranking is very high. You must know that there are only three people in the headgear.
Tong Yuan also put down his binoculars and smiled from ear to ear, as if he was 250. He used to dream about winning the lottery, but he also knew his own strength. Now that his dream has come true, he was so excited that he didn't know how to express it.
own excitement.
When some people heard Huang Jinquan's words, they cast envious and jealous looks.
"Huzi, throw money~"
Liu Jin also had a smile on his face. Two of his students had passed the exam. This was something he should be happy about, so he ordered Zhao Erhu next to him.
I saw Zhao Erhu carrying a cloth bag from behind, which was full of copper coins. This was something Liu Jin had specially asked to earn. In exchange for dozens of taels of copper coins, there were tens of thousands of coins, a whole bag.
.
"Hua La La~ Hua La La~"
Zhao Erhu used his huge palm to dig into the cloth bag, took out a large handful of copper coins and began to throw money crazily at the crowd below, and the scene suddenly became extremely lively.
The reason why it is so attractive when the rankings are released is that many people with nothing to do come here just for the money. If they meet a rich owner, they will spend all the money.
The same was true for Zhao Erhu at this time. He kept throwing out a lot of copper coins with no intention of stopping, so that a large number of people around him rushed over and kept picking up the coins.
The scene was very lively, and it immediately became the focus of the surroundings. Someone who also won the lottery also ordered his bookboys and servants to start scattering money. Suddenly, it rained copper coins all over the place where the results were posted, and anyone who stood there would be hit by copper coins.
Got hit.
As for some scholars who did not win the lottery, they were dejected. Many people also prepared a lot of wedding money, just waiting to spend a lot of money after they won the lottery.
"Teacher, there is no name for you~"
Tong Yuan looked at the lively scene, then searched carefully, but couldn't find Liu Jin's name, so he also said.
"It's okay, don't you still have the headgear~"
Liu Jin said very confidently.
Soon, the red list of top hats was also posted. There were only three names in the top hats, and the one ranked first was Liu Jin.
"Teacher, the first in the head armor, the first in the head armor~"
Tong Yuan and Huang Jinquan said excitedly at the same time, and then congratulated Liu Jin in unison: "Congratulations, mentor!"
"Same joy~same joy~"
Liu Jin didn't expect that he would get Jieyuan, and he immediately said to his two students with a smile on his face.
This scene immediately became the focus, and many people realized that the youngest person turned out to be the teacher of the two people next to him. What is even more surprising is that the three of them actually passed the exam at the same time. The teacher was Jieyuan, and the two students
They are all in the top of the second class, and there are three outstanding people in this discipline!
Then everyone thought about it and immediately knew who the three people in front of them were. In an instant, countless people's eyes began to turn red. Among them were Jiang Shan, Liu Hongzhi, and Ouyang Wen. Only one of them was
Liu Hongzhi won the election, while the other two failed.
At this time, I felt even more uncomfortable when I saw that all three masters and disciples of Liu Jin had passed the examination and were ranked so high.
"Haha, Huzi, throw money, throw money~"
Liu Jin smiled and said to Zhao Erhu next to him.
Before all the copper coins were scattered here, Zhao Erhu took out a large cloth bag from behind him. This time, the cloth bag was filled with broken silver, including several hundred taels of broken silver.
Seeing Zhao Erhu grab a handful of broken silver, the money picker couldn't help but hold his breath and stared at Zhao Erhu's hand. When he waved his hand, a lot of broken silver fell down.
At that time, the whole scene reached its climax.
"For his contribution to Changli County, Yongping Prefecture, Mr. Liu is pleased to win the first place!"
Naturally, the officers who announced the good news would not miss it. Seeing that Liu Jin was so generous, a group of officers rushed over and congratulated Liu Jin.
"Thank you~Thank you~"
Liu Jin took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket. The denominations were not large, and they were small bills of a few taels of silver. Whenever the officers came to congratulate him, he would give one to them, which made all the officers smile.
As for Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan on the side, they also took out a money bag, which was filled with broken silver. When the officer came to announce the good news, the broken silver was rewarded.
"Tsk tsk, this feels really good."
It had been lively for a while, and then it slowly calmed down. Liu Jin finally felt the joy of being a child. This feeling of everyone coming over to express their congratulations and throwing away a lot of money was really very exciting.
Enjoyable.
Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan on the side smiled at each other. Among the three great joys in life, the title on the gold list is one of them. The title on the gold list in the township examination is naturally very valuable, second only to the exam, which can change the trajectory and destiny of a person's life.
At that moment, both of them were equally happy and gave away a lot of money.
But this is nothing. Everyone on the scene who won the lottery was throwing away a lot of money to vent their inner joy.
