Feudal scholar-bureaucrats reborn: marrying a husband and marrying a virtuous

After the head of the Ministry of Rites rolled the roll, the official Zan said loudly, "Xinke Gongshi has entered the city."

Lin Fangxu took the lead, and the examinees were divided into two teams. The first on the left was Shang Tan, and the first on the right was Kong Jie. Under the leadership of the guide officer in front, they passed through the vermilion gates and walked to the Huangji Hall, also known as the Jinluan Hall.

At this time, dozens of officials were already waiting on both sides of the red carpet in the hall. The first ones were four senior scholars in python robes and jade belts, that is, Kong, Dong, Guan and Li elders; Shangshu and Shilang with gold and silver belts.

For Lin Fangxu and other Xinke Scholars, these people are the direction of their struggle, which is out of reach for the time being, and the chief executive and Yuanwailang in the green robe in front are the goal of their struggle now.

After a group of tributes stood still, they only heard the sound of palace music, and everyone looked solemn. Amid the soothing music, the emperor in yellow robe finally appeared.

"Your servants will kowtow to my emperor, long live, long live, long live..." After everyone kowtowed, Emperor Jianwen didn't seem to like to be too wordy. The chief assistant of the cabinet, Kong Yi, and the elder Kong Ge held the test questions, and said in a loud voice: "In the eighth year of Jianwen, the Bingchen Imperial Examination, start!" Then handed over the test questions to Zhao Songtao, Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Amidst another burst of shouts of long live, the emperor left the arena, and other officials who followed to fill the scene also left, leaving only Guan Zizhong, a scholar, two ministers from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, and a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites.These are the invigilators of this imperial examination, one elder, two ministers, and several third-, fourth- and fifth-rank officials. There are a large number of people and a luxurious lineup.

Under the instruction of the invigilator, the tribute students sat down one by one behind the small square table placed in the middle of the Huangji Hall. After everyone was seated, they gave out the test questions. It is raging, and today, there are powerful enemies peeping, the people are displaced, and the court wants to strengthen the army and enrich the people. However, the north has passed through the iron hooves of men and slaves, and a lot of waste is waiting for prosperity. Although the south is rich in water and soil, it has not paid taxes year after year. According to the views of the lords, What is the way to make it beneficial to the fund, but not harmful to self-cultivation? '

Well..., the topic is really the same as in the previous life. Although I said a lot of euphemistically, but to put it bluntly, the treasury is short of money, and I can't do anything. I am very anxious. Come and think of a way...?But it can't hinder self-cultivation, so increasing taxes is not acceptable, and I specifically reminded that the south is rich in water and soil, and you can start from here.

All in all, this question is really difficult to answer. Everyone can understand the question, but the answer to the policy theory also represents your own political position. Who dares to express your opinion easily?So when they saw the exam questions, the Gong students were in cold sweat. Only Lin Fangxu, who had turned on the cheat, was in a very good mood at this time, and he could still sigh in his heart, "The Holy One is really dissatisfied with the Jiangnan family." '

On the same day, the business recruitment held in the Jingshi Camp in the suburbs of Beijing was not as eye-catching as the palace examination, but the battle was also very luxurious. Recruitment exam.

For recruiting new recruits, the main sources of troops are recommended by various Davids. Each guard has a certain number of places, and the number of places is determined by the overall strength of the guard.

Jiang Shiyun and the [-] or so official children, compared to the nearly [-] or so veterans who came from various guards, are like sheep in a pack of wolves. Swallowing his saliva, Jiang Shiyun, a little brother of Zhilan Yushu, has his eyes shining at this moment, looking at his idol in life, the elder brother Zhu Xuan with admiration.

The hundred or so little brothers who took the Beijing camp examination were all similar to Jiang Shiyun at this time. It was precisely because of the eldest brother of the emperor that many young brothers had another choice besides marrying and having children.

After Zhu Xuan gave some words of encouragement on the stage, five thousand people were sent to the refurbished barracks to take the literature test first, because Lin Fangxu had said that the questions would not be too difficult, and Jiang Shiyun didn't feel any pressure. Open the test paper, there are three questions in total:

The first question is 'Silent writing of "The Analects of Confucius" Yan Yuan No. 12 No. [-], Zigong asked about politics. '

The second question is 'Which seven books does "The Seven Books of Martial Arts" refer to? '

The third question is "What is a soldier, deceitful way." '

I knew it wouldn't be difficult, but I didn't expect it to be so easy. At the beginning of the test, I even reminded that as long as you answer the first two questions correctly, you can pass the test, and encouraged you not to give up easily. My big brother, I don't expect much from everyone's cultural level. '

But even so, Jiang Shiyun still saw a lot of tall and thick men, either sneaking glances at the side, or turning their heads quietly, and very few of them stretched their necks so long and their buttocks almost lifted up in order to read the answers at the front table.

Even a few men who were obviously from the same guard actually passed notes to each other, and the envoys and generals in the Beijing camp who invigilated the examination all didn't care, and only walked down when the notes were really flying too much. One of them slapped the back of the head and confiscated the note to finish the job.

Seeing this, Jiang Shiwu said "Puff, puff" to Jiang Shiyun who was sitting next to him, and motioned him to move the answer sheet to this side. In the Analects that he was asked to write silently, he still couldn't remember a sentence, Jiang Shiyun Seeing his anxious face, he had no choice but to move the paper over, sighing in his heart, "I used to study so hard before, maybe this time I can get the first place in the Chinese exam." '

However, Jiang Shiyun overestimated himself. Unlike the Palace Examination, which took the third day to know the results, the results of the Beijing Camp Literary Examination came out in the afternoon. Twenty or so civil servants from the Military Commander's Mansion checked the papers together. First, the 3000 students who only answered the first two questions The number of people and the more than 1000 people who answered the third question were ranked separately, and then combined together, it was very fast...!

The final result was that Jiang Shiyun only came second, and Shen Dingyuan, the second grandson of the Duke of England, won the first place. Jiang Shiwu also passed. There were more than 5000 freshmen, and only a few hundred people passed the literary examination. It can be seen that the bigwigs of the Five Armies Dudufu He doesn't seem to care too much about the literary examination.

The martial arts exam was the next day after the literary exam. The martial arts exam lasted for two days. After the Jiang Shiwu brothers passed the literary exam, they went back to the city with Shen Dingyuan and other family friends, discussing how to perform well tomorrow.

Speaking of which, brothers Shen Dingyuan and Jiang Shiwu grew up together. He was older and brought Jiang Shiwu and Jiang Shiyun around when he was young.

At the age of 13, the princess of England was the master and was sent to Dingliao Guard for training. The chances are few and far between.

Jiang Shiwu asked: "Second Brother Shen, how have you been in Liaodong these years? I think you are black."

Shen Dingyuan touched his wheat-colored skin, and said indifferently: "What's wrong, it's much more comfortable than being in the capital, and you can run as fast as you want on a horse...! Besides, staying in the capital is no better than being in the capital." How white am I?"

Jiang Shiyun didn't care about his skin color, but asked, "If Big Brother Shen enters the capital camp, will he look for a chance to go back?"

Shen Dingyuan thought for a while and said, "During the Taiping years, what else can you do in the Beijing Camp besides training? The new recruits recruited by the Beijing Camp every year have to be stationed in other guards for a few years. When I think about it, I will apply to return to the Liaoning Guard. , Xiaoyun, you guys should also come together, I'm already familiar with the place, and I'll cover you when the time comes."

After Shen Dingyuan finished speaking, he looked at the two of them quite enthusiastically. Jiang Shiwu agreed without thinking, but Jiang Shiyun hesitated and said: "I'll see when the time comes. It's too early to say this now."

The Beijing camp ended early, but the palace examination ended after dark. Everyone ate the imperial meal in the palace at noon, and when they left the palace, one of them received a package of snacks. Lin Fangxu and the three of them took the snacks and sat in the carriage back to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion. .

In the carriage, Xu Zhongkang, who was born in a noble family in Hangzhou, suddenly asked: "Let me see today's topic, is the Holy Majesty going to deal with the noble families in Jiangnan and other places..."

Shang Tan didn't wait for him to finish, and immediately interrupted: "Zijian speak carefully, be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth."

Xu Zhongkang knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he shut up, but after a while he still couldn't hold back, and wanted to express it quickly, but he stopped for a long time, Lin Fangxu couldn't see it, and said earnestly: "Brother Xu, even if Just as you think, you have to worry about it yourself, so why bother yourself here."

Xu Zhongkang suddenly realized: "Yes, there are people who are more anxious than me, and the Xu family is not a top family."

Shang Tan said with a smile: "Let's not care about that, let's talk about today's question, how did you answer it, brother just got it

When I asked the question, I even thought that I was afraid that I would hand in a blank paper. "

Xu Zhongkang said listlessly: "How else can I answer? I'm talking about water conservancy, ditches, and encouraging agriculture and mulberry. It's very commonplace, but Dongsheng, what did you answer? The Holy One is full of praise."

Speaking of which, from the beginning of the literary meeting, Dong Sheng might have fallen into the eyes of the Holy One. When the examination papers were about to be handed in in the evening, the Holy Majesty and the adults probably had finished discussing the matter, and a group of people turned back again. Lin Fangxu had just handed in the examination papers, but he was called The Holy One ordered people to accept it.

After reading it, the Holy One praised: "Good, good..., this method is very good, very good, this answer sheet is worthy of the first name, and the descendants of Lord Lin really deserve their reputation." I feel that the name of Lin Fangxu's six poems may not be able to escape.

After Xu Zhongkang finished asking, seeing Lin Fangxu only smiled, he also knew that he had asked rashly. With Dongsheng's temper, he might offend a bunch of people again in the answer sheet.

Although Shang Tan was also very curious, he didn't get to the bottom of it, so he changed the subject and said, "Xiao Wu and their martial arts exam tomorrow, why don't you let big cousin take us in to have a look?"

Lin Fangxu was very moved when he heard it, and quickly responded: "Okay, I have rented the house, and I will be fine tomorrow."

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Fangxu and his three went ahead of schedule and waited for Jiang Shimin in the front yard. When Jiang Shiyun arrived, they saw Jiang Shiwu bragging to Lin Fangxu and others: "How difficult it is for me to take the Chinese exam. I was prepared to be eliminated, but I didn’t expect it to be like that... If I had studied hard since I was a child, I might have been able to be a scholar.”

Jiang Shiyun said mercilessly: "Since Second Brother is so powerful, why don't you recite Zigong Wenzheng again!"

Jiang Shiwu was not embarrassed to be punctured, and he said plausibly: "Today's martial arts test, why should I memorize it...Xiaoyun is here, then let's go quickly, Lin Xiaodi, I will let you see how powerful my brother is."

Normally, you can’t enter the military barracks casually. Today is different. The candidates who participate in the recruitment are more or less sent by relatives and friends. Stands are specially set up around the school grounds, so that relatives and friends can wave their flags and cheer. Cough... Of course, After all, it is a serious exam, so you can't be so frivolous, but there are still some applause and applause.

The most low-key thing to say is that the group of Beijing children, without him... If you lose, people will say that you have lost the reputation of your ancestors; For the sake of the prestige of the ancestors, let's keep a low profile, so among a group of children, only Jiang Shiyun brother has a group of relatives and friends composed of three literati.

In fact, for Lin Fangxu, the real competition for recruiting new recruits in the Beijing camp was actually over when the soldiers of David competed for the recommendation places. The competition that was going on at this time had only two purposes:

[-]. Test the strength of the soldiers recommended by each guard, and eliminate those who are not capable enough to go through the back door. At the same time, you can also see which guard has outstanding strength, and you can give more places for the next recruiting.

[-]. For special recruits like Jiang Shiwu, it is the real exam. Not only do they have to face cruel elimination, but they may even lose the reputation of the family. The elders of the inferior clan did not dare to agree to his coming.

On the first day of the Beijing camp exam, there are three tests, bow and arrow, running attack, and personal martial arts.

A row of 70 vertical targets was arranged on the outside of the school grounds, and each row of vertical targets was different in height. The nearest target was 220 meters from the shooting point, and the farthest was [-] meters.Next to the two hundred shooting positions side by side, there is a weapon rack on which are hung three pairs of longbows, namely the one-stone longbow, the two-stone longbow and the three-stone longbow.

How much is a bow?If the bow is fixed in one place and a weight of several stones is hung on the bow string, the bow can be stretched by the length of an arrow, then the bow is of the specification of several stones.

The standard bow for all soldiers in the Beijing camp is one stone, and one hundred catties is one stone in the Great Wei Dynasty, so if you don't even have the strength to pull a hundred catty string, the bow and arrow are really useless.

200 examinees have already lined up and waited in line. Among the 200 people in the first line, there are Jiang Shiwu and his brothers. I saw a general in armor, waved the flag, and [-] people walked to the shooting position and stood up. shouted: "Candidates choose their bows."

200 people took a crossbow from the bow stand. Under the order of the herald, the arrows were strung to the string, and a hundred arrows were fired at the vertical target 70 meters away. None of the 200 people missed the target, but the positions of the arrows on the target were different. That's all.

After the herald and other recording personnel registered the first arrow score, they said loudly: "The candidates change their bows."

However, not everyone was able to draw two stone bows. It was about two hundred catties. Only a dozen or so people, including Brother Jiang Shiwu, replaced the one stone bow in their hands with two stones. An arrow went straight to the 120-meter vertical target, the feathered arrow whizzed past, and finally stood firmly on the wooden target. Among the 200 people, there was still no target. The recorder hurriedly recorded the result and marked the number of arrows used. Stone bow.

When the herald shouted again: "Candidates change their bows", only Jiang Shiwu among the 200 people came out and picked up the three-stone heavy bow, which attracted a lot of attention.

In the third round of shooting, Jiang Shiwu flew to the vertical target at 220 meters with one arrow, and inserted it at the edge of the red heart of the target. Jiang Shiwu curled his lips when he saw this result from a distance. , the results of the third arrow seemed unsatisfactory.

However, he didn't know that Jiang Shiyun was also dissatisfied even though all three arrows hit the hearts of hearts at this time. Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything if he was not satisfied.

After the 200 people finished the bow and arrow test, they didn't stay here anymore. Under the guidance of the herald, they went to another place to participate in the raid assessment. There are not so many rules in the raid assessment. They just need to run from the starting point, pass through some artificial obstacles, and run to the finish line That's it, someone at the end will record how much time you spent.

When the two hundred or so people reached the finish line, the herald ordered them to disband and rest, but don't forget to take part in the martial arts assessment at noon.

Jiang Shiwu and the others went to join Lin Fangxu and the others. After watching the bow and arrow competition, they left together and went to the canteen of the Beijing camp to have a meal.

Xu Zhongkang gave Lin Fangxu a half of a steamed bun weighing eight taels, and sighed: "They say they have no skills, so don't come to the Beijing Camp Examination. There are more than 5000 people in the bow and arrow competition, and only a few of them use heavy bows." It's off target! It's really amazing..."

Jiang Shiyun looked as if you are rare and strange, and raised his voice: "Of course, where is your capital camp? The elite of the entire Great Wei Kingdom is located."

Lin Fangxu took the steamed buns handed over by Xu Zhongkang, looked at him with a smile on his high-spirited look, and then watched this elite man proudly gnaw off the eight taels of steamed buns in his hand, along with the meat and vegetables.

Lin Fangxu couldn't help but glanced at the little brother's belly. What he got in return was that his calf was kicked under the table and the little brother looked angry. Afterwards, he saw the little brother blushing slightly.

Before the afternoon competition, the morning's elimination results were announced, and only less than one thousand out of more than 5000 people were eliminated. Compared with the elimination rate of the imperial examination, it is simply gentle and kind.

The competition in the afternoon was also very straightforward. The remaining 4000 people fought against the veterans of the capital battalion. Those who could go through a hundred moves under the hands of the veterans without losing would be considered a pass. It is recommended, and its strength is not bad.

Just like the bow and arrow competition, there were still 200 people at the same time. The large school field was divided into pieces by a wooden fence of about one meter. Jiang Shiyun and a man who also used guns stood in a relatively open area, surrounded by spectators It is several times more than other places. There is no way. It is the first time to see such a good-looking little brother coming to the capital camp. Everyone should pay more attention.

The man was a little nervous, not because he was afraid of hurting his younger brother, but because he was afraid that losing would be too ugly, probably because his boss was the elder brother of this younger brother.Deputy Commander Jiang once mentioned that he couldn't beat his two younger brothers at home, and he couldn't beat Deputy Commander Jiang himself. The man looked around at his colleagues waiting to watch the show, hey..., why is his name written on it? I was drawn by the note, which is really bad luck.

Jiang Shiyun naturally knew this guy, I forgot what his name was, I met him when he came to the Fifth Army Camp with his brother before, and he joked with his brother at that time: "Are these the two younger brothers that you can't even beat?", Jiang Shiyun At that time, he felt that this person had a bright personality, but he didn't expect that he was very verbose at this time, so he simply swung his gun and stabbed him.

Seeing that the man had already attacked, the man didn't dare to be distracted, so he quickly responded calmly. The two of them went back and forth for twenty rounds. Jiang Shiyun's arm strength was obviously not as strong as that man's, but he was much more flexible than him. Afterwards, the man couldn't stand it anymore, Jiang Shiyun seized the opportunity to overturn him to the ground with a clever effort.

"Okay...!" "Shh...!"

The people around applauded and whistled in unison. While applauding, the people in Beijing did not forget to ridicule and ridicule the defeated man, which did not mean anything.

Seeing Jiang Shiyun's ferocious fighting power, Xu Zhongkang moved closer to Lin Fangxu's ear and whispered, "Jiang Shaolang is really good at fighting. If anyone marries him, if there is any disagreement between the husband and wife in the future, I don't know if he will be beaten."

Lin Fangxu thought about Jiang Houye's previous record of beating Yushi, and suddenly his bones ached, and he quickly shook his head in his heart and said, "No...! Xiaoyun's temper is more like Shang Langjun, and Jiang Shiwu is like that guy. Lord Jiang Hou. '

Jiang Shiwu was indeed more like Jiang Jun, but the opponents he met at this time were like him, they all used heavy hammers, and they were also a strong man with a height of two meters, but they were stronger than Jiang Shiwu.

After persisting for nearly two hundred moves, Jiang Shiwu was still full of fighting spirit, but he was already suppressed and could not move. The men around him did not laugh at him. After all, the soldiers who fought against him were ranked in the capital camp The master in front.

By this time, the Jiang brothers had both been admitted to the capital camp. Tomorrow's exam really couldn't be called an exam. It would be more accurate to say that the veterans of the Beijing camp gave the recruits a disqualification, because the content of tomorrow's exam is The recruits form an army, and the same number of veterans form an army. They compete against each other, and the winning side wins the lottery. Over the years, the veterans have won the lottery.

Although the three of Lin Fangxu wanted to continue to join in the fun tomorrow, it was impossible, because tomorrow is the day of the Golden Temple.

Just when all the tribute students were looking forward to being nominated for the imperial list, they didn't know that the nine examiners, including Mr. Guan Ge, were in a very delicate mood at this time, because all the other examination papers had been graded, but Lin Fangxu was the only one left behind. That one led to the fact that all four hundred exam papers had been filled out, but the first one had to be vacated.

In the evening, Mr. Guan Ge, accompanied by Zhao Songtao, Minister of Rites, and Yang Yanbo, Minister of Officials, presented twelve examination papers to the emperor, and the three tripods were hand-picked by the Holy One, that is, the number one scholar, the second place and Tanhua.

Emperor Jianwen flipped through the twelve test papers presented from top to bottom. After reading the first one, the emperor shook his head in his heart.

When Brother Huang led the troops to rescue his father, he was left in the capital. Speaking of which, it was thanks to Grand Tutor Shang for taking care of him, otherwise he would have suffered a lot.This lord is a courageous and resourceful master. Unexpectedly, his grandson has good literary talents and knowledge, but he is too cautious in political strategy and theory, and he is not as decisive as his grandfather. Thinking about it Put Shang Tan's test paper aside.

Then when I looked down, I found that not only the emperor was not disappointed, because the answer sheet he wanted to see was already in his hands, and he didn't care too much, so he chose two of them as the second place and the third place. , he already has a candidate.

When Guan Zizhong and the others received the handwritten list from the Holy Majesty, they all thought, "That's right," although they wanted to know what Lin Fangxu answered, but they didn't ask the Holy Majesty for it. This makes people even more curious.

At dawn the next day, the sun rose in the east, and the sky was full of colorful clouds. The crimson palace walls and golden glazed tiles looked magnificent under the sunshine.

In the solemn Jingyang bell, the three main gates of the Meridian Gate and the two tuck gates that open from east to west slowly opened at the same time.Dressed in flying fish suits and holding a one-foot-long painted halberd, the soldiers walked out of the four side openings in neat steps, and stood beside the five avenues paved with white marble.

Lin Fangxu and other new scholars outside the palace gate all wore the same dark blue wide-sleeved robes, black gauze Jinshi hats on their heads, and locust wood wat boards in their hands. Outside, there was another bell ringing on the upper floor of the city gate, and the eunuch said loudly: "The auspicious time has come, and all the officials will lead the tribute students to meet!" All the people walked in slowly.

When they arrived at the Huangji Hall, officials and ministers filed into the hall, but a group of tributes knelt outside the hall and on both sides of the royal road, waiting to hear the announcement. What was said in the hall could not be heard outside. Seeing Kong Yi, the chief assistant of the Great Wei Dynasty, come out of the palace, he said: "...for the sake of the country, don't ask about your background. In the eighth year of Jianwen's Bingchen Division, the imperial examination is over, and the court will test the world's tributes. There are 3 people who came from the second-class Jinshi, and 110 seven from the third-class Jinshi, as follows..."

After reading this, Kong Ge didn't know whether he needed to take a breather or lost his appetite on purpose, so he paused on purpose, and when everyone's hearts were raised, he slowly said: "No. 1 in the imperial examination... Lin Fangxu! "

All the tributes thought to themselves, 'Sure enough. '

Lin Fangxu thought to himself, 'Okay, at least in this life, in the imperial examination, the struggle has a different ending. '

Following the sound of "Yijia No.1, Gongsheng Lin Fangxu has an audience...", under the leadership of the guiding officials, Lin Fangxu entered the hall to thank him, knelt down three times and bowed nine times. Certainly.

It wasn't until he sang outside again: "Yijia No.2, Shang Tan!", Lin Fangxu realized that he still seemed to have robbed senior brother Shang of the number one prize, and secretly apologized to senior brother in his heart.

After Shang Tan finished kowtowing, he was led to the right class, stood still at the seventh grade, and sang outside: "No.3 in Yijia, Kong Jie."

Lin Fangxu was slightly surprised that this person won No.3. This one won the third place. What about the person who won the second place in the previous life?

Soon after Kong Jie and Xie En stood still, he heard shouting outside: "No.1 in the second class, Jinda." name.

"No.2 in the second class, Dong Kun."

"No.3 in the second class, Wen Tianfeng."

"Second A No.8, Xu Zhongkang."

"Second A No.9, Su Zhao."

"No. 11 in the second class, Shen Jing."

"No. 20 in the second class, Shen Mao."

……

"Second A No.60 No. [-], Wang Zitai." etc.

After the top three Jinshi finished reading, Kong Ge was so tired that he was about to lose his breath. More than 200 fellow Jinshi did not need to enter the hall, but just knelt outside the hall to thank him.

After the roll call was over, the palace music sounded, and all the officials and Xinke Scholars saluted and sent the saint back to the palace. All the civil and military officials took the initiative to congratulate the Xinke Scholars. People with elders like Dong Kun and Kong Jie, Naturally, everyone wanted to praise the two elders for their good teaching. Before everyone could praise their ancestors, Jiang Jun patted Lin Fangxu on the shoulder and praised: "Good boy, six poems, this world How many scholars can get six poems?!", his voice was so loud that it overwhelmed everyone else.

At this moment, Zhao Songtao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, spoke up: "Not many, since the rise of the imperial examinations, I'm afraid there are not many, hehe... Speaking of it, the test papers of Lin Liushou's hall are still read by the emperor himself, and the number one is directly selected. I don't know what Lin Liushou answered, so that he won the Sacred Heart?"

Lin Fangxu was about to say, what did you answer?When answering the palace examination, the Holy Majesty asked the question. Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by the old Guan Ge with a smile: "Zhao Shangshu will ask again when he has time. Sandingjia needs to change clothes, waiting for the 'Yujie'." Kuaguan'?"

Lin Fangxu was naturally happy to be rescued, and smiled gratefully at the elder Guan Ge, and then, along with Shang Tan and Kong Jie, followed three Honglu Temple officials to the side hall to change clothes.

After changing the clothes, Guan Zizhong, Li Mo, and Dong Qin, three assistant political scholars, sent him outside the Meridian Gate in person, and then he was greeted by Zhao Songtao, Minister of Rites, and personally sent to Chengtian Gate, riding a silver-white hairless, The tall horse with red and colorful banners, followed by colored flags, green fans, red umbrellas, gong and drum bands, went out of Chengtian Gate with great fanfare, and arrived at Chang'an Avenue.

This year's Sanding Jia is still very young and looks very good. When the three of them appeared on a silver white horse, the already lively Chang'an Street became even more lively. The world's love for youth and good looks is naturally more enthusiastic than in previous years and excited.

When the three of Lin Fangxu were walking on the street, they could only feel the crowds around them, screaming again and again, and there were flowers and flowers along the way.

When Lin Fangxu was worried about being hit in the head by another flower, he didn't notice that his elder brother was also crowded in the crowd, looking at him proudly.

Speaking of which, Lin Fangqin also just arrived yesterday afternoon, and stayed at an inn for one night. The next day was the day when the rankings were released, and he didn't visit the Marquis of Wu'an. After joining Huiyuan, he was sure that his younger brother would definitely win the top one.

The three of Lin Fangxu marched along Chang'an Avenue, through Bingbu Street to the official office, went to Kuixing hall to burn incense, and then rode back to the official office.

In the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, other undergraduate students had already been waiting there. Seeing them coming, they all got up to greet them. In addition to the undergraduate students, there were also some top-ranking seniors in the academic department.The three of them bowed to the seniors, and then sat down in order in the main hall, and the Yuqionglin Banquet began.

Speaking of which, in the previous dynasty, the Qionglin Banquet was not like it is now. It was mostly held in the imperial garden of the Holy Majesty, and besides Xinke Scholars, there were also various civil and military officials as companions.

In this way, the old employees can also take this opportunity to take a day off, and then enjoy the glory of the new employees, take the opportunity to hold an official welcome meeting, play what should be played, and connect in series.

However, Emperor Hongwu, who was industrious and frugal, obviously didn't want the old employees to take the opportunity to slow down their work, and he didn't want to spend a lot of money, so he changed the Qionglin Banquet to what it is today, and let the rookies gather together for the ten-year cold window. I was finally hired to celebrate, but fortunately, I ate delicacies cooked by the royal chef of the big boss's house, and drank tribute wine from the big boss's wine cellar.

After sitting down and toasting for a while, the seniors took the opportunity to leave, and Lin Fangxu led the same year to send it out respectfully. After returning, the delicacies were arranged, and everyone drank fine wine and savored the glory of today's scenery.

When the seniors were there, everyone still held them a little bit. After the people left, everyone expressed their excitement freely through fine wine, lamenting how hard it was to study hard for ten years, and even a few older people of the same age , probably thinking of all the setbacks he had suffered on his way to the imperial examination, he burst into tears.

For a moment, everyone looked at the youngest among the 400 people, but he was already the No. [-] Lang of the Sixth Head of State of Lianzhong. They didn't know whether they were more envious or jealous.

Forget it, forget it...," Ten years of cold window no one asked, became famous all over the world in one fell swoop. ', there are still many people who went from being green to white-haired in the exam, and failed to listen to the lecture in the Golden Luan Hall, so why bother to compare themselves with the gods.

For a while, everyone was pushing glasses and changing glasses again, talking and laughing again and again. Lin Fangxu, the champion of the six songs, became the main target of everyone. This time, there was no elder in the clan to block the wine for him. By the end of the evening banquet, Lin Fangxu had already drunk Some have big heads.

He didn't know that the real headache was still waiting outside the gate of the Ministry of Rites.

In other words, Jiang Shiyun's recruits this year are considered to be the strongest over the years. Unfortunately, they are all elites from all over the world.

Although they all felt that their teammates were dragging their feet, everyone was not unconvinced and frustrated. After all, they lost to their senior brothers, so there was nothing to be ashamed of. They could comfort themselves by saying that they had trained in the capital camp for a few years more than themselves. Well, after two years, let's see if they can beat me?

The Jiang Shiwu brothers are all in the top [-] in the new recruitment exam this time, which is not bad. When they finished practicing with the veterans and returned to the city, they had already missed Lin Fangxu and the others who praised officials in the imperial street, listening to the people all over the street talking about Sanding How heroic A is, how lively Chang'an Avenue is, it is a pity that I missed the opportunity to join in the fun.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them didn't go back to Marquis Wu'an's mansion directly, but went directly to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites to pick up Lin Fangxu and the three of them.

Most of the people around are families who have children to be married and young brothers. This is the list to catch the son-in-law. Most of the people who come here to catch the son-in-law are from the family of Wu Xun, or some wealthy businessmen and gentry. They are all envious of scholars, but most of them Those from the scholarly family consider themselves noble and do not want to marry with them.

If it was during the Hongwu period, it would really be arresting a son-in-law. If a new jinshi did not show his family background but did well in the exam, it is really possible that he would be arrested directly.

And now, the most

The most eye-catching one is Sanding Jia, without him, even if it is to catch a son-in-law, everyone wants to catch a young and handsome one, isn't it? If he is young, handsome and talented, it will be even more attractive.

Among the three, Kong Jie, who is the grandson of Ge Lao, no one dared to think about it. The Shangtan family also has a grandfather who is one of the three fathers, which is not realistic. Only Lin Fangxu, who is less than eighteen years old, must not be engaged , is the top six champions again, and looks like a handsome man, what a good and high-quality son-in-law...! .

However, due to the fact that he once captured his son-in-law, had a bad quarrel, and was criticized by the literati, this "activity" has continued to this day, and it is much more gentle. Even if he wants to arrest him, he must be willing.

So Lin Fangxu, who was already drunk, was surrounded by everyone. You said, "Is there an engagement in the Zhuangyuan Lang's family?"

When Lin Fangxu was so annoyed, he had to pretend to be drunk on purpose, and when he smirked and didn't speak, the officials of the six yamen and the lower yamen were not in a hurry to go home. The old man also came all the way to join in the fun, because many of the people who came to catch the son-in-law were officials from the five-army governor's mansion.

Jiang Jun and Shen Guogong stood outside and watched with a smile. After watching for a while, Shen Guogong teased: "The six songs that are under the age, if I have a granddaughter of the right age, I will catch it too. Speaking of which, Xiaoyun is not just the right age." Is it?"

The smile on Jiang Jun's face faded, and he thought about it too, but he didn't dare to do it. Up to now, he still thinks that his little brother is afraid that he likes women. Hey..., this is similar to modern parents who realize that their son Like Lan Yan, I am so worried.

And his worrying little brother, Jiang Shiyun, saw Lin Fangxu being surrounded by everyone, smiling happily, and gnashing his teeth angrily.

Since Jiang Shiyun entered the city and heard everyone talking about Lin Liushou, he felt a little indescribably disappointed. Even if he refused to admit it, since he applied for the capital camp and divorced, at least in terms of reputation, he probably has no People feel that they are worthy of Lin Fangxu.

Thinking of this, and looking at Lin Fangxu, who was so beautiful at this time, Jiang Shiyun felt lost, and wanted to leave, but Jiang Shiwu said from the side: "Hey...how about I go and rescue Lin Xiaodi, these people are too, Regardless of whether Xiaodi Lin likes it or not, he insists on recruiting a son-in-law."

After Jiang Shiyun heard him finish speaking, he suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, you go and flush the man away, and I will bring him out."

Jiang Shiwu has no doubt about him,
