In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing, February 24, this is the day when the Ministry of Rites releases the list.

Although the fraud case of the township examination had a wide impact, which involved many candidates who participated in the examination this time, they did not know how the imperial court would deal with it in the end, but the list was still announced as scheduled.

More than 4,000 candidates are looking forward to the moment when the goddess of fate favors them, waiting for them to leap into the dragon gate again.

As long as they are on this list, no matter what the results of the next palace examination are, they can at least get a place for a third-class jinshi and become a seven-rank official in the Ming Dynasty.

Unlike the need to wait for alternates, non-commissioned officers can usually fill vacancies directly, such as first-class jinshi, who will be directly arranged to enter the Hanlin Academy and get a substantive official position.

What is the reason for the cold window in the past ten years? Naturally, it is the title of the gold list.

On this day, as soon as the sky was dark, many people got up to wash, and made the final preparations in the hall or inn early, looking forward to the official messenger who came to the door with the good news.

Chaozhou Hall, the morning light falls on the white walls and tiles.

Since today is the day of the release of the list, it is also very lively. The crowd also got up early in the morning, and after having breakfast in the lobby, they got together to play chess, drink, and play horse hanging.

The entrance of the hall is facing due east, and the sun has already set on the threshold, and the lobby inside the house looks very open.

Shopkeeper Chen walked out of the outer panel with a face on his face, and a shadow fell in the lobby, looking at the guy who was working, he emphasized: "Today is a big day, be diligent and smart!" ”

"Shopkeeper, you put a hundred hearts on this, my monkey is the most clever!" A guy as thin as a monkey put down the rag and patted his chest and boasted triumphantly.

Shopkeeper Chen seemed to have eaten gunpowder today, stretched out his hand and pointed at him and scolded angrily: "You are the worst at work, this table will be honestly wiped clean for me, if you find a little dust, I will peel your skin." ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw three people walking into the lobby, and the shopkeeper Chen greeted him with a smile and said, "Your breakfast is here, do you want the kitchen to heat it up for you?" ”

"Why are you so exquisite, you don't know how miserable we were in the cell of the Zhenfu Division!" It was Yang Futian who spoke, picked up a bun and put it in his mouth and took a big bite.

He was a foodie before, but after this prison disaster, he was even less picky about food, and he would relish everything he ate.

"It's been two days since we all came back, can you not keep mentioning Zhenfu Division, I'm sick to my stomach now!" Ning Jiang, who was dressed as a son-in-law, sat down with a look of displeasure flashing on his face.

Yang Futian took the half of the bun, raised his chin and shouted, "Why can't I mention it?" If I don't mention it, will you know the value of food? I don't mention it, have you forgotten that we are friends in trouble? ”

Ning Jiang wanted to be sarcastic about his words, and didn't want to have too much to do with this thing, but when the words came to his lips, he took them back, and this time it could indeed be regarded as a friend in distress.

Even though a few days had passed, he was now a little scared when he thought about the experience of that day. Originally, I was looking forward to becoming an official in the court, but at the moment I was a little frightened, worried that one day I would die in officialdom and I didn't know how to die.

Lin Haoran is a person who can afford to let go, and the experience of the Zhenfu Division has no negative impact on him, and now he only hopes for one result, that is, he can win the tribute today.

Although he has seen the dark side of the Ming officialdom, he has not changed his original intention and still hopes to become an official of the Ming Dynasty.

Click!

He picked up an egg, gently snorted the shell on the edge of the table, and peeled it through the crack, revealing the tender white and shining brightly.

Put the eggs in the white porridge and add a chopstick pickles. The pickles are crispy, the eggs are fragrant, and the white porridge is crystal clear, although it is a simple food, he eats it with relish.

Suddenly found that Shopkeeper Chen was still standing on the side, so he said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Chen, you go and do your business, don't worry about the three of us." ”

"I ......" Shopkeeper Chen stood still, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Something?" Lin Haoran stopped his chopsticks and immediately looked up suspiciously and asked.

Yang Futian and Ning Jiang also raised their heads and asked Shopkeeper Chen suspiciously.

Shopkeeper Chen hesitated for a moment, pointed to the direction of the alley and said: "Just now I came back from the Jiangxi Guild Hall, they set up a platform in front of the door, and the aisle left is too narrow, I am afraid that the officials who report the good news will not be able to come over." ”

"Okay, let's go take a look!"

Lin Haoran nodded, and then planned to go over and say.

There were a few people drinking in the lobby, and after learning that the Jiangxi Hall was so domineering, they ran inside and shouted a group of people, and walked towards the Jiangxi Hall at the mouth of the alley together.

Now the confidence of Jiangxi scholars is undoubtedly the most prosperous, not only the most outstanding results in the imperial examinations over the years, but also the Jiangxi Township Party under the leadership of Yan Song has also reached a glorious peak.

Not to mention that Yan Song has been the first assistant for more than ten years, and he is already in power, even if the second assistant Xu Jie, he is also from Jiangxi, and Wu Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who has a good chance to enter the cabinet, is also from Jiangxi.

It is precisely because of this that the officialdom is now the world of Jiangxi people, and these Jiangxi scholars seem to feel superior, so they naturally will not take a prefecture-level guild hall in Guangdong in their eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is what you promised!" When the shopkeeper of the Jiangxi Hall heard the news, he was also very confused when he saw this large group of Chaozhou people coming to Xingshi to ask for guilt.

", which of us promised? The platform you set up, leaving such a little aisle, you can't pass it at all! Ning Jiang pointed to the platform that was being built, and immediately rebuked loudly.

The shopkeeper didn't look like he was a fake, he turned his head to look left and right, and suddenly pointed to the door and said, "It's your Guangdong Master Dai, he said that he can help you make the decision of the hall, let me build it here!" ”

Everyone looked over, but saw Dai Beichen nodding and hunching there, accompanied by a well-dressed boy, with the image of a pug. is obviously taller than that son-in-law, but he has always looked up at that son-in-law, which is really hard for him.

"Quack...... Why is it him again? ”

"I haven't settled accounts with him about the carriage last time, and I actually did this again!"

"What a bastard he is! If it weren't for Dai Zhilang's affinity, I really wanted to beat him up! ”

……

Everyone looked at Dai Beichen's face, and wanted to step forward to give him some color, and teach this self-righteous Dai child a good lesson, especially if he was so "eating inside and crawling outside".

Dai Beichen seemed to notice this side under the reminder of the son-in-law, but he was no longer the image of a dog's leg, and walked over with a shelf and accused: "Why do you look like a woman with a small belly and chicken intestines, don't you just occupy a little way?" I've already told the shopkeeper that I'll leave you a three-foot aisle! ”

"In Xia Yan Donghai, everyone has come over, I'll let you go three feet more!" Yan Donghai looked very generous, and then raised his chin and arched his hand: "This matter is related to a wish of my teacher, I will sing a big show here after the high school meeting today, please forgive me!" ”

Everyone looked at these two people, the corners of their mouths twitched slightly, it was really "the forest is big, there are all kinds of birdmen".
