The Emperor was laughing, inexplicably laughing.

Wang Qi was very angry and felt that this was an insult to himself.

The examiners were still in the tribute courtyard and were not allowed to come out, so he said, "Your Majesty can you agree?" If you agree, the minister will go back and let people make a list, and then let the examiner go out of the tribute court. ”

Until the results are available, the examiner has to stay in the tribute courtyard to avoid fraud.

Zhao Zhen re-summarized the test papers, nodded and said, "That's it." ”

Belch......

Wang Qi felt that something was wrong.

Wasn't he still angry before, why was he suddenly happy?

He was confused, but Zhao Zhen smiled proudly.

"Let's go to the list."

He got up and said, "Don't bother me if there is nothing important today." ”

Wang Qi thought that Zhao Zhen was angry and laughed, so he said: "Your Majesty, after the provincial test, he is an official, and the national talent ceremony is a great ceremony...... Minister...... The ministers rely on public hearts, and they dare not have the slightest selfishness, if there is, heaven and man will be punished. ”

Zhao Zhen raised his eyes slightly to look at him, and said with a smile: "Wang Qing, I know." ”

Wang Jue was depressed and returned all the way back to the Gongyuan.

At this moment, there was already a sea of people outside the Gongyuan, and those candidates were looking forward to it.

Later, a small official came out, carrying a few pieces of paper in his hand.

Teachers and students from Taixue also came.

Guo Qian kept blinking his eyes, relieving his nervousness.

The students were waiting, and their anxiety could not be discharged, so they began to comfort each other.

According to the previous proportion, there are one hundred and eight candidates for Taixue this time, and more than 20 people should finally be able to pass the provincial examination.

The ratio of one to four, three people for every four people is eliminated, this is the cruelty of the single-plank bridge.

"It's coming, it's coming."

The clerk began to post the list, and the one that began to post was the last.

"Wang Jian......"

"Hit! Somebody hit! ”

This is probably the so-called crane tail, and he was lucky.

A man happily bowed his hands in all directions, with the intention of worshipping the gods of the four directions.

“……”

Someone was rolling names loudly, and cheers rang out one after another.

At this moment, he is an official, just like getting an iron job bowl for a lifetime in the future, and the salary is rich, and the excitement is beyond words.

"Lin Dun ......"

"Hit!"

A burst of cheers suddenly erupted among the students of Taixue, and then a student walked up to Guo Qian's side, bowed down and said, "Thank you for the sacrificial wine cultivation, the students dare not or forget." ”

The level of this student is only the middle and lower level among the one hundred and eight people, and winning the middle school at this time is just the beginning, but Guo Qian is still overjoyed.

"Hit!"

There were constantly people cheering among the students of Taixue.

"Xu Bin ......"

Xu Bin clenched his fists, and when he heard his name, he took a deep breath and walked up to Guo Qian's side to salute, "Thank you for the cultivation of sacrificial wine, the students are grateful." ”

At this moment, there are almost twenty people in Guozijian, but there are less than 100 people in front of the roll call.

The eyes of the surroundings have begun to focus on this side.

Out of more than 90 people, almost 20 of them are students of Taixue, this ...... That's a staggering ratio.

"Maybe it's all here."

Someone said disdainfully, and everyone looked ahead again.

"Yang Zheng ......"

Yang Zheng was a little cynical, but he was stunned at the moment.

"Yang Zheng, you've been hit!"

"Hahahaha! You're an official! ”

"Official!"

In these years, officials are masters, once they become officials, they have embarked on the pinnacle of life, and it is not a matter of marrying Bai Fumei!

"It's a robbery!"

Just in front of the left, an old man dressed in rich clothes came with a group of strong men, and he pointed to the candidate whose name had just been read and shouted, "Take it away!" ”

The strong men rushed over, and the examinee was still in ecstasy, so he was carried out by them.

"Help!"

The examinee subconsciously shouted for help, and there was a burst of laughter around him.

"This is to arrest you to be a son-in-law, you are a rich and noble family, you are going to enjoy happiness."

The marriage rules of the Great Song Dynasty are probably regardless of origin, but it is just that in real practice, many people often choose the right family when seeking marriage for their children.

This old man came to catch his son-in-law under the list, and looking at his appearance, he is clearly a rich and noble family.

The daughters of rich and noble families naturally refuse to marry ordinary people, and the young people who have passed the provincial examination are the best choice.

The palace examination does not depose candidates, that is, these candidates are already proper officials.

No matter what time it is, officials will always be superior, so it is not wrong to rob him to be a son-in-law.

But generally speaking, the arrest of the son-in-law under the list happened after the palace examination, and was intercepted on the way to Qionglin Yuan by the new branch jinshi. This old man was probably worried that his good son-in-law would be snatched away, so he would rob people when the provincial test list was released.

The candidates witnessed this scene, and most of them had blazing eyes.

At that time, there were clouds in Zhenzong's encouragement chapter: there was Yan Ruyu in the book, and there was a golden house in the book.

Yan Ruyu got it, and it was sent by the pole.

As for the golden house, there will be no less, the Great Song Dynasty is extremely considerate to officials, and there are many items of money and various subsidies, but if you can climb to the middle level, it is no different from a rich man.

So let's read a book!

The name kept being shouted out, and there were already forty people on Taixue's side.

it!

The people around me are going crazy.

"Why don't you go and learn too much!"

"I thought Taixue was so decadent, so I didn't go, but now it's ...... Now a certain hatred can't turn back time, and a certain kowtow has to go to Taixue. ”

“……”

At this time, there was still the last piece of paper left without roll call, and Taixue was already crazy here, and the students who passed the test were high-fived and celebrated, full of joy.

Su Yan just stood there, he smiled, feeling that this was his fate.

A certain person only has the life of a coolie, so don't expect this.

"Su Yan, don't be discouraged......"

A student from Zhongju persuaded: "Su Yan, the edict once said that the stupid bird flies first, it's okay if you don't hit this time, as long as you keep working hard, I believe you will definitely succeed." ”

"Yes! Let's take a step ahead, but it's just one step, how difficult it is in the sea, let's wait for you. ”

In a joyful voice of comfort, Su Yan arched his hand and said, "Thank you." ”

He did not say that he would give up the imperial examination, because it was a festive moment, and his personal decision should not interfere with everyone's mood.

He smiled, very calmly.

Everyone was gradually listening to the roll call, because there was also a Zhu Yun.

Zhu Yun is the most qualified among the students of Taixue, and Guo Qian also has great hopes for him in this provincial examination.

The roll call continued, Zhu Yun clenched his fists, waiting.

"Zhu Yun ......"

A shout came, and the corners of Zhu Yun's mouth curled, and he shook his fist vigorously.

He walked over very calmly and bowed: "Thank you for the sacrificial wine." ”

Guo Qian said with relief: "Good work, there is also a palace test!" ”

Those who can rank in the top of the provincial examination will not be bad in the palace examination.

Zhu Yun ...... You're fifteenth! ”

"Congratulations!"

"I said that with your strength, you must be in front, and it turned out to be fifteen, congratulations!"

"Congratulations to Brother Zhu, this time you are too good for me."

Everyone congratulated together, Zhu Yun smiled slightly, pressed his hand and said: "You have a good reputation, Zhu is just a fluke, there is a palace test behind, you teachers are here, I will be grateful." ”

This was said very appropriately, not only did the teachers stroking their beards and smile, but their classmates all bowed down one after another: "Thank you for your kindness." ”

Guo Qian smiled and said: "This year, we have raised forty-one people in Taixue, and we are the best in this provincial examination...... There are less than 200 places, and my Taixue occupies more than 20%, and later the whole Bianliang will be shocked by my Taixue, and your name will be passed on by the people of Bianliang...... Now, let's go back and celebrate for you today! ”

"Congratulations! Walk! ”

"Hahahaha!"

Teachers and students were all laughing, and then set off in the direction of Taixue.

"Congratulations."

"Congratulations!"

Taixue has won more than 20% of the provincial test this time, which can be called a shock to the past and the present, and now the news has not fermented, and Bianliang City does not know how many eyeballs will be lost later.

Su Yan was behind, he was happy for those classmates, but he felt that he didn't need to go.

He stood in place and smiled, and when a student turned around and saw that he was not leaving, he shouted, "Su Yan, let's go!" Let's drink together! ”

The teachers and students of Guozijian turned around, and Su Yan smiled and said, "You guys go, you still have to go to the dock." ”

If you go to the dock now, if you are lucky, you can catch two ships of cargo and make a lot of money.

Guo Qian frowned, but he felt that it was not reluctant, so he said, "That's fine." ”

Someone among the students whispered, "Su Yan and his father are both working as coolies on the docks......"

"It's a shame to be waiting for us...... A student who is too learned to do coolies. ”

"Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, since he is willing to take that low road, then it's up to him!"

"His father's humble appearance is sad, thinking that Su Yan will be like this when he sees us in the future, hey...... It's embarrassing! ”

“……”

When Su Yan heard these words, his fists clenched, and as the distance widened, he felt that a huge gap had appeared between the two sides.

An insurmountable chasm!

He sniffed, then smiled again.

He remembered what Shen An had said to him.

- If the whole world has abandoned you, then you should not be sad and depressed and hopeless, because you ...... And yourself. Be your own king, always smile, always look up......

Su Yan struggled to raise his head.

Wait for the edict, I will listen to you, I will always smile and keep my head up.

He continued to smile......

The roll call continued, because it had reached the top ten, so the little official on the roll call had already exerted all his strength, and his voice was like a flute with a broken sound......

Su Yan ...... 6th place! ”

Su Yan continued to turn around and continue to smile.

Bang!

Guo Qian only felt that he had been hit on the head by someone with a stick.

He covered his head with his hands, dizzy and unsteady.

"Hold the old man ......"

But no one cared about him anymore, everyone was turning.

Some of them are plucking their ears, some are gasping......

Everyone was staring at the name......

Guo Qian asked in a trembling voice: "The old man is old, did he hear it wrong?" ”

"Sixth place...... Su Yan! "Someone is repeating the name.

Oh......

The students of Taixue sighed in unison.

These sighs were like a dream, and everyone looked at Su Yan, who was slowly stopping, and felt that it was a dream......

Then someone seemed to hear a crisp sound.

The sound of a slap in the face.

Whose face hurts?

Su Yan turned around slowly, looking blankly ahead, at a loss.

"Who's ......?"

"Su Yan!"

Su Yan turned his head to look at the teachers and students and asked, "But...... But did someone say it wrong? Or is there a name? ”

"Fifth place ......"

The roll call continues, and the sixth place goes unclaimed.

In other words, there is no second Su Yan.

Su Yan was shocked and incredulous, those teachers and students seemed to be watching the gods descend to earth......

And that immortal is Su Yan.
