The way back is quite close, but some can't walk.

It's not that Gao Pragmatic has been so excited that his legs are weak, but that there are too many people who reach out to reward Gao Pragmatic in Xinzheng County, these five words are popular in the recent private villages, so that the idlers in Kaifeng Mansion know what kind of character he is.

The so-called private village, is the gambling plate opened by some casinos, the recent gambling plate is of course the township test, Gao pragmatic has long had the name of Gao Longwen, and is from the Xinzheng Gao family, and has also been a prince to read, it is a classmate of the current emperor Wanli Ye, who is not high school?

However, it is precisely because of Gao's high pragmatic voice that there are many people who buy his middle lift, so the money he can win is limited. These idlers are all shrewd and slippery, and they run to the list one by one to wait, in case they see that Gao Shi is in the middle, they will find someone from Gao Mansion to reward.

In fact, generally speaking, Gao Pragmatic's identity does not have to go to the list in person, and even in order to avoid trouble, he has been staying in a small inn under his bag recently, and he rarely communicates with the students of the county who come to the exam. But today, I chose to go to see the list in person, and this time those idlers will be more and more coaxed.

Although the Gao family doesn't look easy to mess with, the idlers know that on a big day like today, even if they go a little too far, as long as the congratulatory words continue to be in their mouths, the Gao family will not really treat them, and Gao Xie Yuan is even less likely to be angry with them.

Since it is not possible to be angry, then you have to throw money. Fortunately, Gao Jue and others also had experience this time, and they brought a lot of change with them, and this time they did not throw silver, but serious copper coins.

It was easy to squeeze out of the way, and Gao Ming grabbed Gao Shishi's arm and fled. There is no way, there are only ten of them in total, and if they go slowly, no matter how much money they bring, they can't beat these many idlers.

While running, Gao Jue also complained: "Young Master, you won't have to look at the list in person next year, otherwise we will have to push the cart out, push ten carts of money, and maybe we can barely go home." "The examination is in Beijing, and Gao Shishi has a house in Beijing, so he naturally won't live outside, so he is called home.

It was easy to run back to the small inn, and it was still some distance away, and now the door of the inn was full of people, as if he was talking to the innkeeper, and the proprietor was making a gesture and bowing, and he didn't know what was going on. Gao Shishi took a closer look, but the people surrounding the innkeeper were not idlers, looking at the dress, they seemed to be people.

Gao Jue reacted quickly and said busily: "Young Master, this may be what Madame said, the people of the new imperial examination have come to see Yuan Gong, and they are here to congratulate and discuss the matter of tomorrow's Luming banquet." ”

Gao Shishi listened a little big, he had made friends with officials in Beijing before, and one by one he had already ascended to the top, and which of them had a future was basically known at a glance. However, these are different from the imperial examinations, no matter how good the high pragmatic memory is, it is impossible to remember which of them will be able to be promoted to the Jinshi in the future, and even the Zhongjinshi may not necessarily have the opportunity to be of great use.

In his opinion, if these people stop at lifting people all their lives, no matter how good his current relationship with others is, there is no point in him doing great things in the future, and he can't use a lifting person!

To put it bluntly, there are two reasons, one is that the Ming Dynasty only entered the Jinshi, and unless there is Hai Rui's clear name and the literary name of Youguang, there is no chance of being useful at all, and Gao Shi is just Gao Gong has a lot of talents left behind by Gao Gong, not to mention that his teacher Guo Pu will have to leave a batch for him in the future, he doesn't need these fellow imperial examinees and him to form any mutual care, only he takes care of others!

Again, although there are a lot of people in Henan, but the style of writing is average, at least he has the impression that there should be no future big people in this township test, most of them are in Henan as a local master, eat and sacrifice, and send them as moths for a lifetime, and it is really meaningless for him to associate with these people.

This is data, history from the fourth year of Hongwu to the forty-fourth year of Wanli, a total of 245 years, a total of 244 people in each subject, the champion, the eye, the flower and the Huiyuan, of which the southern scholars accounted for 215, and the northern scholars only accounted for 29, the gap can be seen.

This is also the reason why he lived in seclusion before and didn't deal much with these people. Otherwise, if he was born in places like Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi, he would definitely have to mingle with the same year, who knows if there will be a few elders and ministers in it?

But since everyone is here, Gao Pragmatic is not too self-assured, and he took out his skills when he was a secretary, chatted with them and praised each other.

On the second day, it was time for the deer feast. The deer ming banquet was set up in the Tang Dynasty, according to the Tang system, after the township test was completed, the chief officials took the township drinking ceremony to meet the subordinates, Chen Yandou, prepared the orchestra, the livestock with the little prison, and sang the poem of the deer song to feast.

The Ming Dynasty's Luming Banquet is set up in the Minglun Hall, and the chief examiner, deputy chief examiner, room examiner, supervisor, promotion, internal and external curtain officials, Tixue Dao, and the new imperial examination will all participate, presided over by the political secretary.

Xinzheng Gao's carriage drove to the outside of Minglun Hall, Gao pragmatic ordered Gao Jue and others to wait outside, took out the red invitation, and entered the hall under the admiring eyes of the soldiers at the door.

When I arrived in the main hall, I saw lights everywhere, draped in red and green. At this time, the lifters have basically arrived, and the officials seem to have arrived, especially the examiners, who are all surrounded by a group of candidates, and they are close to each other.

But when Gao Pragmatic came in, the room was immediately silent, whether it was the examiner or the new imperial examiner, everyone looked at him like thunder, and it was difficult for Gao Pragmatic to keep a low profile.

Gao Pragmatic sighed in his heart, and it was not easy to greet them, so as not to be more flamboyant, so he had to pretend that he didn't see it, and according to what was written on the title, he went to his own master to perform the gift of master and apprentice, in order to thank him for the grace of the recommendation.

Let the examiner and the candidate get to know each other, which is also one of the purposes of this banquet. It's a coincidence, Yifang's Fang Shi is the teacher of Weihui Mansion, surnamed Wang, is an old gentleman, he was still seen in Huojia County when he returned to his hometown last year, but that time Mr. Wang followed Lord Fuzun to meet him, and now it is his turn to meet Mr. Wang.

However, rules are rules, sloppy must not be sloppy, and Gao Pragmatic is not a person who handles the fight, so he walked over and saluted in a proper manner: "Student to meet Mr." ”

Although this old Mr. Wang is quite old, he is not old and thin, but he is born rich, and when he heard the words, he laughed so directly that he almost couldn't see it, and nodded again and again: "Okay, good, the best article in the undergraduate is really ordered by this official." ”

Gao pragmatically said politely: "Students don't dare to be." ”

Wang Fangshi said with a face full of relief: "Your article is really good, worthy of the literary model of the Xuan Weng family, I didn't even dare to comment more after reading it, I only wrote four words Yajie Duansu, a special recommendation, the deputy chief examiner read it and said: Xie Yuan is here, Xie Yuan is here, and then I wrote a long comment of nearly two crosses and transferred it to the main examiner, and the main examiner only read it once, and then I won you." ”

Gao pragmatic looked modest, bowed with a smile and said, "The student is lucky." ”

Before Wang Fangshi could say more, he suddenly heard the army at the door say loudly: "The chief examiner of the Qincha Henan Township Examination, the Hanlin Academy's revision, and the official of the feast day are cautious."
