Chapter 235: First place in the Jinshi Examination

This day is the day when the Jinshi test list of the Ministry of Rites is released, and it is also a critical moment for hundreds of candidates who participated in the Jinshi examination to decide the fate of their lives.

In Chang'an City, in front of the gate square of the Ministry of Rites, there were crowds of people, and countless people were waiting for the moment when the list was released.

Li Dongsheng was not in the crowd waiting outside the Ministry of Rites, the weather was already hot, the sun was shining, there was not even a tree on the square, standing there like a fool, what should be in the middle is still in the middle, if you don't have it, you will become a sculpture standing there, and there is no name for you. It's better to wait for someone to come to the door to report the good news, and it is simple to accept congratulations at home, and let the neighbors see their glorious moments, which is the real scenery.

The courtyard of Shangshu Mansion was also reflected in the early morning sun, and there were people working early in the morning, but they were all cautious, for fear of alarming Li Dongsheng. Everyone knows that he didn't do well in the exam, Young Master Dongsheng usually smiles and grins with everyone, such a kind person must not make him sad.

Li Dongsheng went out and stretched his waist, and said to Xiaoju with a smile: "Today's weather is good, it should be a good day!" ”

"Well, good days." The little maid's eyes were dodgy.

"Why are you so nervous, I'm afraid that the young master won't be able to win? Tell you, if I can't win, then no one in the world will be able to win! Li Dongsheng let out the strongest shout in the morning sun.

"It's good to have faith, but it's also humble." Li Jing and Zhang Chuchen came to his courtyard. Zhang Chuchen said lovingly: "Our Dongsheng must be the best, you see I let them clean up, ready to reward money, just wait for the news to come to the door." ”

"It's still my uncle and aunt who understand me, and the rest of the people's expressions are like I can't hit, and I droop my face every day, I explained at first, and then I didn't bother to pay attention to it."

Countless officials inside the gate of the Ministry of Rites were busy nervously. Outside the gate, countless scholars were looking forward to the door, waiting for the list.

At this time, I heard: "Coming, coming." A man scurried out of the ministry. The crowd began to squeeze forward desperately, and the officials of Wannian and Chang'an counties also worked hard to push the crowd out, but unfortunately there were too few of them, like a lonely boat in a typhoon, which seemed so thin.

Followed by a person who said loudly: "Zhenguan won the first place in the four-year Jinshi test." “

This era is different from the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Ming and Qing dynasties are from the back to the front, that is because it is necessary to take into account the interests of those who report the good news, and they can get a large amount of reward money one by one. And the Tang and Song dynasties were from the first to the back row, how many wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials were waiting below the list, and when they saw the scholars who had won the Jinshi, they asked if they had a marriage match, and if there was no marriage match, they would be tempted by money, or threatened by power, and if they really didn't want to, they would just tie up and leave, and go home directly to get married, which is the legendary list to catch a son-in-law.

Song Taizu wrote "There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book" is what he said, anyway, as long as you are a middle school jinshi, then you have everything, and immediately embarked on the pinnacle of life to become a general manager and marry Bai Fumei.

The two officials who had already stood next to the list dipped their pens in gold ink and immediately filled in the list, this is the so-called title of the gold list!

In the Ministry of Rites, there were also people who had already reported the good news that they got the name, and as soon as they got the name, they wrote the name of the new tribute student on a yellow flower note. It was made of fine paper, sprinkled with gold dust, and forged with silk and pasted with gold flowers. This is the Golden Flower post!

In the Tang and Song dynasties, the government wanted to send a copy of such a list to the person who ascended, which was called the Golden Flower Post.

At this time, the singing list had already begun, and a small official walked out of the door: "Zhenguan is the first in the fourth year of Jinshi-" The tone dragged on for a long time, and it made people wonder if his qi could be picked up, "Li Dongsheng." ”

"Wow!" The crowd was boiling, and I saw a team of people outside the ceremonial department who reported the good news with red silk as a flag, holding the golden flower post in both hands, beating gongs and drums. This pomp is very big, because Li Dongsheng is from Chang'an, and his fame is also in Chang'an, so the people treat him as their own, and there are more and more people who send the list post.

On the streets of Chang'an City, the people who sent the stickers beat gongs and drums to walk on the streets, hundreds of people are pouring into the streets to see the excitement, and there are fast horses galloping all the way in front, the horse's hooves raise light dust, and the people on the horse shouted: "Zhenguan four-year Jinshi test first place Chang'an Li Dongsheng." ”

In Pingkangfang, the Qinglou has also changed the time when it is open at night, it is overcrowded from the morning, each house is crowded, everyone has experience, the scholars must relax after the exam, and the best place to relax is the Qinglou.

Today's list, many students who stayed overnight last night simply waited for news in the Qinglou, in case they were hit, and they got the news in the eyes of the beautiful women, and the sense of accomplishment was too strong.

At this time, the voice of the annunciator was already heard: "Li Dongsheng, the first place in the Zhenguan four-year Jinshi test!" ”

There was a cheer in the green building, just a place by the window, a beautiful woman with a hideous face, threw the vase to the ground, and was still angry, and gave the four treasures of the study on the table to the Buddha to the ground, muttering: "Why doesn't he die in Turkic?" How dare you refuse me? I also won the Jinshi, don't let me find a chance, I must avenge this humiliation! ”

Shangshu Mansion only opened a side door, and the porter did not sit there and wait, standing alone in the middle of the road, looking expectantly at the entrance of the alley. The house is relatively quiet, Li Jing's family is talking with Li Dongsheng, and the two Li Desheng brothers are also there, but at this time they are talking about Li Dejian.

After returning from the trip that day, Li Dejian never forgot that woman, and when the guards came back to report, that girl was Wei Jia, the daughter of Zheng Guogong Wei Zheng, this girl was Wei Zheng's old daughter, and she was very pampered. Knowing the information, Li Dejian pestered Zhang Chuchen to go to the door to propose marriage, Zhang Chuchen, who was pestered every day, couldn't stand it, and said that he would go after Li Dongsheng's Jinshi arrived.

"Good news! Zhenguan won the first place in the four-year Jinshi test Li Dongsheng! ”

The sound of the annunciation came from the gate. The people at the door cheered violently, this is a talent from all over the country who came to Chang'an to take the exam, our young master won the first place, wouldn't it be the first in the world!

Immediately afterwards, I heard the business of gongs and drums coming slowly, and I heard the sound of "hit" and "young master hit" to the backyard.

Li Dongsheng tried to pretend to have a look that I already knew, but I saw that everyone in the hall was looking straight at him.

The annunciation entered the Shangshu Mansion surrounded by the subordinates, and asked loudly to the door at the door of the hall: "Which one is Li Dongsheng Li Gongzi, who is really happy!" “

Li Dongsheng wanted to answer, but he found that he was speechless with excitement, and at this time he knew why Fan Jinzhongju would go crazy, it turned out that joy would really overwhelm people's senses!

He felt that there was no sound around him, and it became a black and white silent movie, Li Jing's relieved smile, Zhang Chuchen's joyful smile, Li Dejian's proud smile, Li Dejiao's happy smile, all the people stood up and congratulated themselves, Xiaoju was squeezed outside, laughing and wiping tears!
