After listening to the shopkeeper's words, the two brothers Gong Jian realized that there were so many particularities in the industry of people who reported good news. It seemed that these people were not just relying on their own physical strength and legs to eat quickly.
This is a mouthful of rice.
After all, the information of so many students who came to participate in the Juren Examination must be recorded in their minds. And then, with just a quick glance at the list, they must clearly see their goals and go straight to the goals.
Only by going can you get the biggest bounty. It seems that it is not that simple in any industry.
Seeing the look on the shopkeeper's face, if it weren't for the fact that you two guys are so smart, I would never have told you so much information. The two brothers looked at each other, feeling funny in their hearts, but on the surface they both
They were all respectful. They bowed to the shopkeeper and thanked him for saying so many things to the two brothers.
When the shopkeeper saw that the two brothers were so sensible, he even saluted and thanked him. He was so happy that the conversation became even more lively.
"As I said just now, the people who reported the good news accounted for less than half of the people outside. Half of the remaining people were students related to the examination and their families. They were the ones who were really anxious.
Those who see the list are just interested in seeing whether they or their family members have won the prize."
Brothers Gong Jian and Gong Yu belong to this type, so they can understand the mood of these people. Gong Yu couldn't help but asked curiously, "What are the shopkeepers and the other half of them doing?
, why are you waiting here to look at the list so early?"
The shopkeeper laughed and said, "The reasons for the remaining half of the people are various. There are some famous families in this provincial city who want to see what kind of people there are and whether there are any students they are familiar with or know.
These families generally have children who have become officials in the court, so they pay great attention to every judicial examination. After all, the status of a judicial person can be donated to an official position. These people are concerned about these students who have won the imperial examination, and their future
Official career.
They are more concerned about whether any of the students who passed the examination can be wined over or have a good relationship with them. Then when they serve as officials in the same dynasty in the future, whether they need to be taken care of or suppressed, that is, they must have a certain attitude."
Speaking of these people, the shopkeeper's face became a little more serious, "These people usually send servants or servants here to look at the list. The main purpose is to memorize the entire list, and then think about it carefully when they go back."
.”
After talking about this type of people, the shopkeeper's face became relaxed, "Also, there are some wealthy families. The main reason why they pay attention to the list is to find a backer. A student who can win the exam.
We all have a bright future, no guarantees.
One or two of them will be admitted to the Jinshi next year. And even if they are just candidates, the court will have certain preferential policies. These people actually want to rely on one main family. Even if it is in name only, at least their family's land and land taxes can be paid.
There are quite a few reductions.”
The two Gong Jian brothers also had a certain understanding of this. After all, after Gong Jian became a scholar, many people brought land with them and wanted to invest it in their name to reduce the tax on their own land.
The two brothers who had seen the battles at that time certainly understood that after winning the imperial examination, the amount of land that could be deducted from their names would be several times greater, so many people would specially check the students who won the imperial examination.
, is it possible to record one's own land in the name of a Juren?
Seeing the two brothers nodding, the shopkeeper was full of joy. He liked talking to such a transparent young man. Seeing their age, the shopkeeper's expression suddenly became a little strange. Then he said: "
Of course, there are still some people who are just waiting to see the list come out and want to catch their son-in-law under the list."
After saying this, the shopkeeper glanced at the two young and promising brothers with an ambiguous look. He also felt pity in his heart. These two people seemed to have extraordinary bearing and talent, but it was a pity that these two men were so talented.
People who want to catch their son-in-law usually only look at those candidates on the list.
And he didn't have a daughter of similar age, otherwise he would have thought to ask whether the two young people in front of him had kissed. After just being in contact for a while, he felt that these two young people were not as young as usual.
The kind of impetuousness in people is definitely something that can be made.
Besides, his family doesn't have such high requirements. As long as he thinks he has good character, he can recruit him as a son-in-law. It's a pity that he and his wife only have one brat, so they missed such a good son-in-law candidate.
Of course, the Gong Jian brothers didn't know that the shopkeeper's mind had gone so far, but the way he looked at him always had that kind of meaningful emotion. They both looked at each other and felt a little...
Awkward.
They didn't know where the shopkeeper was thinking, but when they thought about what he just said, someone really was trying to catch their son-in-law, it opened their eyes. After all, they had heard of this kind of thing before.
, but this kind of thing usually only happens in the capital, after all, the list of Jinshi is the most valuable.
They really didn't expect that even though it was just a list of candidates, there would actually be people looking for a son-in-law at the bottom of the list, waiting to catch a golden son-in-law. Also, after these candidates have their status, they can participate in next year's Spring Festival, and every one of them will
It is an excellent stock with great potential. If this bet is right, she might suddenly change from the wife of a civil servant to the wife of an official.
Thinking about it this way, the two brothers also felt that it was excusable that when the examination results of several people in the provincial capital were announced, there were also people looking for a son-in-law. But they didn't know that the fat shopkeeper in front of them
Did you also think of this? In any case, from just now, this man looked at his two brothers with a strange look.
Fortunately, although the shopkeeper looked at me a little strangely, he didn't say anything. Otherwise, the two brothers would not have dared to stay in this store any longer.
Not wanting the shopkeeper to look back and forth at the two of them with that strange look, Gong Yu turned around and walked towards the door of the store. He was still more concerned about when the red list would be posted outside. Of course, he was very anxious now.
They know whether their brother has won the lottery. This is a key piece of information related to how they will rescue their little brother Zhao Rong in the future.
Seeing Gong Yu turn around and go to the door of the store, he stood on his tiptoes and looked out again. (To be continued)
