I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

As soon as the Ceremony of Chuanlu in the palace ended, the yellow list began to be posted outside the palace to announce the name of Jinshi to the world.

As soon as the yellow list was posted, a large crowd of people came to watch, regardless of whether there were candidates at home or not, they all gathered there to join in the fun.Discussions arose everywhere, and some people recited the names on the yellow list aloud, the voices were high-pitched, one after another, as if they were all tolerant, as if they were proud of their own family members who had won Jinshi.

Thanks to those selfless and dedicated roll callers, those who didn't squeeze inside couldn't see the list, and those who couldn't read knew who was on the list, and joined in the fun.

Huang Jiulang was sweating all over his head, but he couldn't squeeze in.Those who called out their names were one in the east and one in the west, and I didn't know which one it was.His master is easy to find, Tanhualang, although not as many times as Zhuangyuanlang's voice, but he has been chanted many times.But Mr. Ning was different. He opened his ears for a long time but still didn't hear his name. He was waiting to go back and announce the good news to Mrs. Ning.

"It's really useless." Xiao Qinglong flew up from Huang Jiulang's head. Anyway, he used a blindfold to prevent others from seeing him.He easily flew into the encirclement, flew back after a while, and said to Huang Jiulang, "I see, Xiaohezi is No. 18 in the first class, and Ning Caichen is No. [-] in the second class."

"Great, let's go announce the good news." Huang Jiulang said happily.

"No, I'll wait for Xiaohezi at the gate of the palace, you hurry up and get the reward, it will be gone if you're late," Meng Zhang said.

Huang Jiulang became a little anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "My lord, I'll go first."

After all, run away.

For this kind of good news, usually the first person to notify will get a big red envelope, which is a good start.There are more people who announce the good news, even if the host is not stingy and everyone gives it, it is estimated that the red envelope will be much worse than the first one.

Huang Jiulang is a young single vixen working alone in human society. He naturally knows the hardships of life and the importance of money.Marrying a daughter-in-law requires money, buying a house requires money, having a baby requires money, and giving gifts requires money... Especially for giving gifts, there are too many relatives, and he has to attend weddings and weddings every few days, which makes his savings still poor after being out for so long.Now that there is an opportunity to earn extra money in front of him, Huang Jiulang will naturally not let it go.

Meng Zhang strolled to the gate of the palace to wait for Ji Zihe, it wasn't that he didn't want to enter the palace, it's just that the palace is the emperor's domain, although the emperor is not a monk, he is a special existence.He bears the national destiny of a country, even the gods in the sky will not despise him.

Meng Zhang is an ancient god and also an ancient beast. If he enters the palace, he might be regarded as a threat by the emperor's guardian spirit, and he might have to fight. Even if he wins, it will affect his morale. Fortunately, Qinglong doesn't want to cause such trouble.If you want to enter the palace safely, you must have the consent of the master.The owner of the palace is the emperor, and the emperor stays in the palace every day and never goes out, he is even more at home than Xiao Hezi.He has never even seen the emperor's face, so how can he let him agree to enter the door by himself!

If you don't see the emperor, you can't enter the palace. If you want to see the emperor, you must enter the palace. It's really too contradictory.Let go of his previous temper, but let go of his national luck, what about his own luck, the beast will not believe this.But now, he has to be a good dragon and can't cause damage, Xiao Hezi doesn't like it.

The Ceremony of Biography is over, and the newly released Jinshi can go home.However, Sanding Jia has a special treatment, the emperor will send someone to escort him home, which is the so-called parading on horses.

At present, there is no fixed number of people parading horses. Sometimes only the number one scholar is paraded, and sometimes the top three are all together. It just depends on the emperor's mood.This parade was not only to make the number one scholar shine, but more importantly, the emperor wanted to use this method to publicize the imperial examination, recruit talents, and increase the prestige of the court.

Regardless of the purpose, this is a lively event for the common people.Knowing that the No. [-] scholar will parade in the streets today, the people of Jingzhou City rushed to the streets, just to see the top three.

The three of them wore big red robes and big red flowers on their bodies. They rode tall horses and wandered around Jingzhou City in high spirits. They were really majestic.Among the top three, except for the second place who is a bit older, the remaining two are all young talents. They are handsome men with a face like a crown jade, and they are very handsome, which really attracts people's attention.No matter where they go, everyone will envy and cheer, and the young ladies who are watching excitedly throw handkerchiefs in their hands, hairpins on their heads, or various flowers at them.

Ji Zihe is No.3, and the "attack" he received is naturally not as strong as No.1's An Daye.However, this did not affect his good mood at all.He was riding on the horse, the smile on his face never stopped, he was really happy.

"Qixi, why are you so happy, isn't it just a walk around the street." Meng Zhang had caught up with him since he left the palace, and lay on his shoulder.

"Do you know what's on my mind right now?" Ji Zihe laughed.

"what?"

"Glorious ancestors."

Meng Zhang: "..."

Can't you have a more dignified and more dignified idea? Anyway, it is No. 3 in the imperial examination, so petty.Everyone thinks that they will become high-ranking officials in the future, earn a lot of money, and have power in the government and the public, with one person under ten thousand.He is different, the first thing that comes to mind when he is admitted to Tanhua is his old man.

After returning to the rented house, the neighbors nearby came to congratulate him. After seeing off the neighbors, Ji Zihe hurriedly wrote the letter, explaining that he and his cousin were admitted to Jinshi, and asked Huang Jiulang to send it back home go.

It is their prerogative to return to their hometowns for new scholars. After all, it is a very honorable thing to return home. Scholars have struggled for so many years, so this is what they count on.Even so, they couldn't go back for a while, and they had to be approved by the imperial court to go back to their hometown.Then there are many new scholars from other places, and they can't all rush together at once.

Moreover, passing the Jinshi examination does not mean that you can become an official immediately. Except for the top three, other Jinshi have to pass the examiner before they can be awarded official positions by the court.

Ji Zihe was third in the first class, so he naturally didn't have to worry about that.But he definitely wants Ning Caichen's family to go home together. Ning Caichen has lived in Jingzhou for several years. There are so many wives and children in the family, and how to arrange the house needs to be discussed again.But you can send a letter home first to make the family happy and avoid worrying grandpa.

After the exam, according to the previous rules, it should be the Qionglin Banquet. To put it bluntly, it is a celebration banquet for the new scholars.

The emperor invited the new scholars to have dinner in the palace, not only to celebrate, but also to encourage them.Today's sages are thirsty for talents, not only the whole palace examination, but also the Qionglin banquet is always there.

Qiong Linyan said it very grandly, but in fact it was not that lively. After all, the immediate boss is there, so it is definitely impossible to let go of the fun.Everyone wanted to make a good impression on the emperor, and they were all very reserved, with a mature and stable demeanor.

Of course, in addition to behavior, appearance is also very important.Everyone was dressed, and many of them were covered in makeup and flowers on their heads, just like the second place sitting next to Ji Zihe, Ji Zihe almost couldn't help sneezing because of the strong fragrance on his body.He moved his butt silently, staying away from the second place, he didn't want to be accused of disrespect.

Naturally, the food in the palace was unusual. Ji Zihe felt a little melancholy after eating delicious food and drinking fine wine.It's a pity that Bones can't come to the palace with him, without such a blessing.The food in the palace is not even comparable to Jinjiang Tower.

Qionglin Banquet, besides eating and drinking, is to write poetry, and this is also an opportunity to show one's talent in front of the emperor.If he could overwhelm everyone at the banquet and become a blockbuster, he might be able to leave a good impression on the emperor.

Poetry also needs inspiration and atmosphere. It is not easy to write a good poem on the spot, so most people will prepare it in advance.Before coming to Qionglin Banquet, Ji Zihe and his friends got together and wrote the poems in advance, then revised each other and memorized them.When it was my turn to write a poem, I just read the poem I had memorized.Not to mention being able to amaze the four seats, at least it won't go wrong.

The first one to recite the poem must be the number one scholar. An Daye just finished reading the poem, and the first one to applaud is the emperor.Others admired the emperor so much when they saw it, and they kept boasting and admiring it no matter whether they heard it or not.

Ji Zihe was a little confused. Obviously he also participated in the modification of this poem. They all thought it was okay, but it wasn't perfect. Could it be that he missed it?

But then the emperor cleared his confusion for him, praised An Daye a few words, the emperor elicited his own purpose, and married An Daye and the princess on the spot.

An Daye knelt down on the spot to thank him, the title of the gold list, the wedding ceremony, and the four major happy events in life. An Daye took two of them at once.

An Daye didn't yearn for an official career at all. His family was a small family with a wealthy family and the only child in the family. His parents inevitably pampered him a bit.I didn't expect him to be very promising. Even his mother was afraid that he would be tired and wanted to stop him from studying. Under such an environment, how much ambition can you expect him to set.

In this imperial examination, An Daye came here to hide from his mother. Who knew that he really won the first prize.Although there were always rumors that the number one scholar would marry the princess, the emperor didn't really say anything. Although An Daye was admitted to the number one scholar, he didn't really dare to think about it.Now, after listening to the emperor's golden words, besides joy, there is also a sense of relief in my heart. His mother's dream has finally come true...

The emperor's heart is actually a bit complicated. Princess Yunluo said that she fell in love with this person. The emperor thought that this boy was just a smooth-talking white-faced scholar with little talent, but who knows that he really has real materials.

When the emperor sorted the ten papers that day, they were all in a state of vague names.This order is really arranged according to literary talent. Anyway, regardless of whether An Daye's name is among the ten or not, the emperor can add him to the first place.But who knew that when Eunuch Luoxian's papers were opened and the list was presented to him, An Daye's name was No.1.

This made the emperor feel a little distressed. Why did the exam go so well? It caused him to miss a talent in vain.If he did poorly in the exam, wouldn't the emperor be so distressed.

Although it hurts a little, the emperor is still more happy for Yunluo.As expected of his own sister, she has a good eye, and she hit a real number one pick at once.For the sake of my sister's happiness, it's just a gifted scholar. Even if the emperor seeks talents and thirsts for talents, he is still willing to do so.
