Chapter 138 Xu Liang's surprise, the feast of sweet-scented osmanthus
Chapter 138: The Dragon and Tiger List is out, and the good news comes
In the eyes of every candidate, there is hope, anxiety and even worry!
As the saying goes, if you learn literature and martial arts, you will sell them to the emperor's family! The success or failure of the scientific examination determines the fate of an examinee from now on. Whether he can reach the sky in one step or continue to practice in this mortal world depends on this dynasty.
Originally, the second daughter asked Shen Tang to go to see the list. However, it was inconvenient for the second daughter to go and crowd, so Shen Tang was naturally too lazy to go. So, the night before yesterday, the second daughter ordered the boy to go and wait at the gate of Gongyuan, and They are waiting at home.
Finally, the dark night gradually receded, and as the hour came, the closed door slowly opened.
First, groups of soldiers filed out, guarding the gate of Gongyuan and both sides of the screen wall where the list was posted! Two gatekeepers holding gongs in their hands also guarded the gate of Gongyuan.
This is an excellent job. After the results are released, the disciples will first ring the gong to congratulate the students who passed the exam. Under normal circumstances, students who are overjoyed will naturally not be stingy with rewards.
Then, comes the most concerning thing.
Several clerks walked out with serious expressions, holding four yellow scrolls in their hands. These scrolls were the Dragon and Tiger List this time.
The clerk made the right, left, and right decisions, so he carefully opened the four scrolls, aligned them up, down, left, and right, and pasted them on the screen wall.
This scroll is like the screen wall, with dragons, phoenixes, and auspicious clouds covering it. However, no one has time to look at these things at the moment. Everyone stretches their necks to look at the names on the list.
After a while, someone finally found his name first.
"Ah...hahaha, I got it, I got it..."
"I've been hit too. I want to go back immediately to thank my master..."
"There is actually a day when I will be on the list..."
"Impossible, how could it be possible without me!"
"There must be something wrong with this list. Why am I not on the list based on my literary talent..."
The hustle and bustle started, and there was naturally joy and despair. In front of this dragon and tiger list, a group of scholars acted out various aspects of life in this world.
"Student Lin Guangde, won the 38th place, good news to others!"
After the official sang the results, a small official on the side stepped forward with a smile and took a piece of white paper from the official's hand. On it, the candidate's name, place of origin, ranking and other information were written, and there were two or three soldiers. To follow is to go and report the good news...
"Student Shen Tang, winning the first place is for Jieyuan, and he will send you good news!"
After singing the song this time, the person who walked out was a small official wearing a green official uniform! It was definitely a great thing to be able to announce the good news for Jieyuan. Therefore, this small official really fought hard with all his colleagues. , and made several promises before seizing this opportunity.
"Sir, please!"
As soon as the official went out, a servant of the Shao family came to greet him.
Several boys who came to look at the list had already seen the name of Shen Tang, who was at the top of the list. Immediately, some people went back and hurriedly reported the good news to the lady, and this boy was the clerk who stayed behind to wait for the victory...
Although Shen Tang and others did not go to see the list, everyone had already packed up at Mao Shi, waiting for the good news to come.
In the hall, Shen Tang was drinking tea helplessly, while the two girls looked at the sky and the clock from time to time, and looked at the movement at the door!
"Why haven't you come yet! If you ask me, we should go and see the rankings in person. How can we wait for such a big thing at home in such a hurry!" Liu Xiangling rarely complained to Shen Tang, but Shao Muyu although He didn't speak, but the anxious look on his face could not be concealed.
Especially after Chen hour, the two girls looked even more anxious. The three little girls took turns going to the gate to watch the movement, almost never stopping.
Until less than half an hour passed, suddenly, a voice came from far away.
"Happy, happy, happy!"
Brush! Brush!
The two girls immediately stood up and hurried towards the courtyard gate. Shen Tang had no choice but to follow.
When a few people came to the gate, they saw two or three fast horses galloping towards the gate at great speed. The boy on the horse was full of joy and shouted all the way!
When they got closer, several boys rolled off their horses and said, "Hi, great joy! Congratulations to my uncle, congratulations to my lady, my uncle's top spot in the high school is none other than Mr. Jie Yuangong! The official who announced the good news will be here shortly."
"ah!"
"What?"
The boy's words made the two women exclaim, "Can you confirm?"
"Don't worry, Miss. Yang Erlang and I have confirmed several times. The top of the dragon and tiger list is written with the words Suizhou City Shen Tang. There is absolutely no mistake!"
"Okay, reward! Big reward!"
The entire Shao Family Courtyard became lively. Every boy and servant rushed to tell each other that his uncle became Lord Jie Yuan. This was the birth of Wenquxing, which was a blessing for him and others, especially the three little maids. They were so happy that they hugged each other directly.
The two girls were overjoyed and threw themselves directly into Shen Tang's arms! Mu Yu's eyes were shining, and her red lips gently touched the corner of Shen Tang's mouth, "Mr. Shen, Mu Yu loves you to death..."
Xiangling's eyes were also full of tenderness. God was so loving to her. Although her family was ruined, she found such an excellent husband! Even the illusions in her dreams could not compare with the reality before her. In comparison, my husband can bring peace to the world by riding a horse, and he can write poems with a pen! How many such husbands are there in the eternity?
Sure enough, after more than an hour, the official who announced the good news finally came belatedly! Compared with other teams that announced the good news, the team that announced the good news to Lord Jieyuan was much larger! Except for the small official in green, there were actually There were three unknown minor officials, and after that, there were more than a dozen soldiers following.
These people beat gongs and drums all the way, starting from Nagongyuan and walking through the streets and alleys to spread the name of Duke Jie Yuang, and then went straight to the Shao Family Courtyard.
Shouting "Wenqu comes to the world" and "three yuan in a row" and other pleasant words, the team arrived in front of Shao's house!
Shao Muyu had already ordered the servant to open the door and spread the red carpet. When the team arrived, the two girls and Shen Tang welcomed the team announcing the good news. After receiving the good news and giving a reward, they invited the official to have tea. .
But the junior official raised his hands and said, "I don't know, Young Master, Miss, where else should this good news be conveyed?"
In this era, the emphasis on students is unparalleled! Just like this person who brings good news, in addition to announcing good news to his family, he also wants to announce good news to a group of relatives, friends, and fellow clansmen! In addition, the reward given by Shao Muyu is really generous, so this junior official is extremely attentive.
However, Liu Xiangling's family was ruined, and now only the master and servant are here. Shen Tang's parents died early, and they have severed all ties with the Shen family village. At most, he can give the good news to his third aunt, but Shanyin is thousands of miles away, so there is no need. This little official in Suizhou is troubled.
Therefore, after thanking him, the official led the crowd of people who brought the good news away happily!
