Wei Chen yawned and got up. After washing, he prepared to go downstairs for breakfast, but saw that the house was already in full swing.
Sheng Changbai and Chen Jun both changed into brand-new robes, sat in the hall, and had refreshments.
That’s all.
Even the maids and servants below all put on new clothes. They got up from the bed before dawn, and under the command of the old steward, they swept the entire house inside and out.
"What are you doing?"
Wei Chen couldn't help but be surprised when he saw everyone in Shengzhai acting like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Sheng Changbai took a sip of tea and smiled helplessly.
The old steward on the side laughed and said: "Today the results of the hospital examination are released. It is a happy day. I took it upon myself to let the government handle it a little bit, which made Mr. Wei laugh."
After saying that, the old steward glanced at Sheng Changbai's expression and continued: "On weekdays, the second young master often says that you should keep a low profile and be careful in dealing with things. Even young people understand these principles, so they don't make it too public, so as not to make others think that
Our Sheng family has never seen the world."
Sheng Changbai couldn't help but nodded after hearing this.
As soon as the old steward finished speaking, several servants outside the door came in with a dustpan full of copper coins and asked the old steward: "Steward Chen, this is the copper coin you asked us to exchange for the reward. Do you think it is enough?" Wei Chen and Chen Jun looked at Sheng Changbai in unison, their eyes full of teasing.
Sheng Changbai looked back at the old steward and said helplessly: "Uncle Chen, is this what you call low-key?"
Uncle Chen looked embarrassed and could only turn around and complain to the servants: "You guys, didn't I ask you to come back later?"
……
After breakfast, Wei Chen, Sheng Changbai, and Chen Jun left Shengzhai and came to the cross street of the government office. As soon as they reached the intersection, they felt a surge of impetuousness coming towards them.
Thousands of people gathered in front of the government office, and the scene could be said to be chaotic. Fortunately, a government official came forward in time to isolate the family members and entourage, so there was no trouble.
Wei Chen and the other three stood on the outside, looking at the crowded scene, they could only scratch their heads.
Looking at this situation, it may be impossible to get to the front of the list.
Wei Chen couldn't help but glance at Sheng Changbai and Chen Jun beside him, with a rather helpless expression.
In fact, Wei Chen didn't want to join in the fun. It would be more comfortable to wait at home for the applicants to announce the good news, so why make such a trip in person?
However, this time in the college examination, Sheng Changbai and Chen Jun were a little unsure and insisted on dragging Wei Chen to look at the results, so Wei Chen had no choice but to come along.
"Brother Wei, Brother Sheng, Brother Chen, you are also here to see the list."
Along the way, many children took the initiative to say hello to Wei Chen and the others.
After all, the children who were selected this year had all been to the prefect’s banquet and knew each other. If there were any children who had been selected in previous years who did not know each other, just ask the people around them and you would know the identities of the three of them.
Especially Wei Chen, the head of the government examination case, attracted the attention of many children, old and young.
"Is this person the leader of this year's government examination? He's too young, he's just a baby!"
"I have read the articles on the list of government examination questions. This person is one of the top ten in ability. He just happened to write a 46-parallel essay that suited the needs of the people in the government. That's why he was given the title!"
"Is there such a thing? Isn't this using words to charm people?"
"Haha, Master Futai likes four- and six-parallel prose. You can find out this if you pay a little attention. I dare say that most of the 800 children taking the exam know this by heart, and most of the articles in the Futai exam are written in this style.
But so what, why don’t we let them take away the head of the case?”
"That's right, you have to admit when you lose. Don't say slanderous words behind other people's backs, which will disgrace us as scholars!"
"You!"
Just as the two groups were about to quarrel, someone suddenly heard someone shouting: "The results are released!"
Suddenly everyone's attention shifted to the thin list, and they rushed to the front of the list.
The hospital examination list is a long list, ranked from high to low. When the notice was posted, countless people rushed forward, and the government officials who maintained order were overwhelmed and could not stop them.
At this time, Walrus Qian and Shen Du walked out of the yamen gate surrounded by a group of scribes. Seeing the messy scene in front of him, Walrus Qian couldn't help but said angrily: "This is unreasonable, how can it be decent!"
The clerk next to him received Walrus Gan's signal and immediately stood on the stage and shouted: "Master Academic Affairs has issued an order. If there are any more people who are crowded to look at the results, those who are admitted as students will be dismissed on the spot. Those who have not been admitted will not be allowed to do so within three years."
Go take the exam!"
Hearing the scribe's threatening words, all the children were frightened. No one dared to crowd forward anymore, and the previous chaos was finally calmed down.
Walrus took a step forward and said loudly: "I will roll the names below. Those whose names are read, from high to low, come up in order."
After that, he picked a dozen loud-voiced government servants to stand in front of the door, while he personally fetched the long case and read loudly: "In the second year of God's blessing, Jiangning came first in the imperial examination..."
The sound of Walrus fucking paused, and the hearts of the children below also rose to their throats.
"First place in the college examination, Youyang Jingxi, Wei Chen, Shu!"
Walrus Gan's words fell to the ground, and more than a dozen government officials shouted in unison: "First place in the college examination, Youyang Jingxi, Wei Chen, Shu!"
The sound was deafening and reverberated throughout the venue.
"Wei Chen, why is it him again?"
"The county examination case is the first, the government examination is the first case, the hospital examination is still the first case, this is the three yuan of even small and medium-sized enterprises!"
The first of three trials.
Xiao Sanyuan.
It would be difficult for a government to produce such a talented person in decades!
Moreover, this little Sanyuan did not come from those remote places where culture and education were not flourishing, but from Jiangning Mansion, the most important place in the world for culture and education.
This alone is enough to make Wei Chen famous all over the world!
After the children in the front row were amazed, they all started to look around, trying to find the figure of the new little Sanyuan.
At the same time, among the three people standing on the periphery, Chen Jun was the first to react and shouted to Wei Chen: "Brother Wei, did you hear that? You've been hit!"
Sheng Changbai was also full of joy, and he bowed to Wei Chen and said, "Brother Fool, I would like to congratulate you in advance for being honored with the obel recommendation and winning the provincial examination consecutively!"
Wei Chen was slightly startled at first, and then a burst of ecstasy filled his heart.

Even though Wei Chen was a man of two generations, he couldn't help but feel agitated at this time, and his eyes were a little moist. He took a deep breath, cupped his fists to Sheng Changbai and Chen Jun and returned the salute: "Thank you two brothers, I will go first."
Sheng Changbai smiled and said: "Brother, go ahead and don't keep Master Xuezheng waiting."
Wei Chen nodded, then lifted up his robe and walked towards the Yamen Gate with his head held high.
Everyone voluntarily moved out of the way, standing on both sides and watching the criminal go away.
At this moment, Wei Chen felt that he had become the focus of the audience, with countless eyes falling on him. He couldn't help but recall the days when he studied hard in a cold window, and now all the hard work has finally paid off! p>
After crossing the crowd and walking to the steps, Wei Chen bowed to the walrus stem: "Student Wei Chen, thank you, Master Xuezheng Zhu Yi, for nodding your forehead."
A smile appeared on Walrus Gan's serious face, and he said in a deep voice: "After getting Xiao Sanyuan, you must also guard against arrogance and impetuosity. Your article is only a small success. If you can continue to work hard, you will have an article that will make the country beautiful and you will be covered in bruises."
day!"
"Students remember the teachings!"
Wei Chen saluted again and stepped aside.
Walrus nodded dryly, without saying anything more, and continued to read: "In the second year of God's blessing, the second place in the Jiangning Mansion Examination, Youyang Lintang, Wang Yaochen, courtesy!"
"In the second year of Tianyou's reign, the third place in the Jiangning Academy Examination, Jiangning Gucheng, Weng Dingfan, poetry!"
"In the second year of Tianyou, the fourth place in the Jiangning Academy Examination, Shang Yuan Yangjiang, Tang Henian, Yi!"
"In the second year of Tianyou's reign, fifth place in the Jiangning Prefectural Examination, Youyang Qiyan, Sheng Changbai, Spring and Autumn!"
……
"In the second year of God's blessing, the tenth place in the Jiangning Academy Examination, Jiangning Tangquan, Tao Dazhi, poetry!"
……
"In the second year of Tianyou's reign, the 32nd placer in the Jiangning Prefectural Examination, Yuyang Shishan, Chen Jun, Shu!"
