I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

Now I finally realized what the word "solar terms" is.

"Master Zheng is here!"

"Lord Wang is here!"

Just when Niu Huayue was about to get mad, he suddenly heard several loud shouts.

A group of scholars stood up one after another, and bowed their hands to the two examiners together.

"Students are free."

Zheng Ruile raised his hand hehe, then cleared his throat, and shouted, "Gu Ming, an examinee from Guobei County, is here?"

Ok?

Hearing the examiner call his name, Gu Ming was stunned.

When no one responded, Wang Hongyi, who was accompanying him, also yelled loudly: "Is Gu Ming, an examinee from Guobei County, here?"

Several yamen servants also roared to help each other.

"Brother Gu, I'm calling you."

When Ma Yun came back to his senses, he couldn't help turning Gu Ming.

"The students are here!"

Gu Ming responded and walked out of the crowd.

"You are Gu Ming, an examinee from Guobei County, Jinhua Prefecture, and your examinee number is [-]?"

This number is a count of all the candidates in Jiangnan, but it does not mean that there are 9000 or [-] candidates in Yuhang Prefecture alone.

"Back to the adults, the student is Gu Ming!"

As soon as he finished answering, Zheng Rui strode forward with a smile on his face, and patted Gu Ming on the shoulder vigorously: "Not bad, not bad, you are indeed a young talent, hahaha!"

Wang Hongyi also stepped forward, and said with a look of relief: "Congratulations, you have made a special case in the provincial examination this time, and you have won the face of our Jiangnan!"

Eh! ?

what's going on?

Gu Ming felt that his brain was not enough.

Didn't you fail?Why are the two examiners so enthusiastic?What else are you talking about to fight for Jiangnan?

At the same time, all the students looked at each other in blank dismay.

What is the situation?

Niu Huayue's heart sank even though he didn't know what happened, but for him, it was by no means a good thing.

"Second adults, the students are a little unclear."

"Are you feeling heavy and dissatisfied when you see that your name is not on the list?"

"This student is indeed a bit dissatisfied, and is thinking about getting back the test paper."

Gu Ming didn't understand what happened next.

Throughout the dynasties, in order to demonstrate the fairness of the scientific examination, if the candidates who failed the examination objected to the results, they could apply for the return of the examination papers to defend themselves.

Although the hope is slim, it does not mean that there is no glimmer of hope for re-admission.

"Hahaha, the officer has already guessed it. Well, you don't need to argue

The reason why your name is not on the list is because your exam paper was recommended by several of our examiners, and sent to the capital by a special person for the emperor to personally read."

The emperor personally read it?

All the candidates were stunned for a moment.

When will the emperor have to read the test papers for the provincial examination?

Even if it is the capital examination, the emperor does not personally review the papers, only the emperor of the palace examination will come forward to hand-pick.

"Your Majesty, Long En is mighty, I think you are so talented that you have attracted colorful auspicious clouds.

In addition, I appreciate your poems and chapters very much, so I specially appoint you as Enke Jieyuan in this case.

That is to say, you and Lu Meng, a candidate in the Gusu Prefecture Jinke Township Examination, are in the same rank as Enzhengke Jieyuan.

Come on, make a list! "

"Yes, my lord!"

Immediately, a yamen servant slowly stepped forward carrying a tray covered with a red cloth, and opened it with a solemn expression.

On the plate, there is a single yellow list.

This is a person's list, and there is only Gu Ming's name on it.

This is already a bit of a title on the gold list.

Although it is said that they are in the same class as Lu Meng of Gusu Mansion, but one is just a normal admission, while Gu Ming is hand-picked by the emperor, which has a very different meaning.

It has been nearly 500 years since the founding of the dynasty, and the case of the emperor's hand-picked solution to the Yuan Dynasty only appeared once shortly after the establishment of the dynasty.

There have been no exceptions in the following hundreds of years, and this will naturally cause a sensation.

At this time, many students were also surrounded outside the Gusu Mansion Tribute Academy.

"Congratulations to Brother Lu for getting rid of Yuan in high school!"

"Brother Lu is so talented, I can't wait to catch up"

While the crowd was congratulating each other, suddenly an official brought people over and posted a new list.

"What's the matter?"

"Appoint Enke Jieyuan?"

"My God, what is the origin of this candidate?"

"It turned out that he was a young student who read the scriptures written by him"

All of a sudden, Gu Ming's name spread again in Gusu Mansion, which caused quite a stir.

Let's talk about the Yuhang Mansion.

Seeing the extremely eye-catching list, Gu Ming felt overwhelmed when he saw the hand-picked words Jie Yuan.

This makes the ups and downs of life too fast, it is too exciting!

"Congratulations, Brother Gu!"

"Xing, this is really a big surprise"

Ma Yun and the two stepped forward to congratulate sincerely.

Many other scholars also rushed forward to congratulate.

But Niu Huayue and the few scholars who had been sneering at him before had disappeared without a trace.

Let's not mention Xie Yuan's status first, just hand-picked two characters is enough to look down on the students all over the world.

Now, even though Niu Huayue has great hatred, if he has more courage, he will not dare to say cruel words like wait and see in front of Gu Ming.

On the contrary, he began to worry in his heart that Gu Ming would turn his head and let him wait and see.

Even if Gu Ming is not an official, what if he donates a seventh-rank official?

Xie Yuan, who was handpicked by the emperor, let alone a seventh-rank official, the prefect of Jinhua will have to pay a visit in person at that time.

According to traditional customs, the number one scholar who was hand-picked by the emperor during the palace examination is generally called the emperor's disciple.

Although the hand-picked Xie Yuan could not be called a disciple of the Son of Heaven, he still had a bit of a side, and he could be called a dazzling halo.

Moreover, Gu Ming's surprise is not over yet.

In addition to hand-picked Jieyuan, the emperor also rewarded 100 taels of gold, two bolts of silk, and a house.

Under normal circumstances, even if it is Jieyuan or Yayuan, the imperial court will not give extra rewards.

After all, after winning the exam, you can enjoy many special cases, including fame, social status and so on.

Only when you win a Jinshi, the imperial court will reward you, such as the Jinshi Mansion.

Of course, Gu Ming's situation is a special case, that is, the emperor hand-picked him, so how could he not show any signs of it?

Wouldn't it seem that the emperor is too stingy.

Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation ticket!

Chapter 1 Homecoming!

On that day, among the students who came to rush for the exam, some were happy, some were worried, and some wanted to jump into the river

Many students who failed the exam have already begun to return to their hometowns, or are planning to return to their hometowns.

I failed this time, come again next time!

But the winners had to stay and prepare to attend the Luming Banquet the next day.

To put it simply, it is a celebration banquet funded by the government.

At that time, everyone will sing deer singing poems and dance Kuixing dance together.

At the same time, the government will also send people to the hometown of Zhongju students to deliver the good news as quickly as possible.

In the afternoon of the second day, the Luming Banquet officially began.

A group of officials and a group of candidates sang the deer singing poem in unison:

Yo-yo Luming, the apple of the wild food.I have guests, harp blowing Sheng.

Blowing the sheng drum spring, bearing the basket is the general.People who are kind to me, show me to go around.

Yo Yo Lu Ming, eat wild Artemisia.I have a guest, Deyin Kong Zhao.

Regard the people as wrong, but if the gentleman is right, he will act.

I have a decree for wine, and the guest style is Yan Yiao.

Yo Yo Lu Ming, eat wild Qin.I have guests, drums and drums.

The drums and zithers are harmonious and exquisite.

I have a decree for wine, with the heart of a Yanle guest.

Singing and dancing Kuixing dance.

This is an ancient traditional custom, no matter how the dynasties change, it has always retained this custom.

In the palace, when the emperor entertained all his ministers, he sometimes hummed this deer singing poem together to show that the emperor and his ministers had fun together, and the whole world had fun together.

On the third day, it was still organized by the government, and took all the students who had been selected to the temple to worship the saint.

When the sage returned, the government would distribute a set of Confucian shirts and a little silver to Zhongju students as money.

For some scholars with good family backgrounds, this move may not be too touching.

But for many poor students, it can be called returning home.

Perhaps he was often ridiculed in the past, calling him a poor scholar.

However, the identity of Zhongju returning home is not very different. Not only local officials will come to visit, but the local people also have to respectfully call them master, young master, and son.

Dare to bark indiscriminately is disrespectful!

Guobei County.

After noon.

"My uncle is back, my uncle is back!"

After Yu'er learned of the uncle's itinerary early in the morning, she waited outside the study and looked forward to it.

Seeing the figure of the uncle, he immediately turned his head and screamed a few times towards the yard, then trotted forward to meet him.

"Uncle, Uncle"

Before the person arrived, the little girl was so excited that she cried out.

"Silly girl, why did you start crying when you saw my uncle?"
