A group of students left almost ignorantly, except for practicing state affairs.
When practicing state affairs, the officials of Shuntian Prefecture used an umbrella ceremony to send him off until his death.
This is how extraordinary the number one scholar is. It immediately widens the gap between him and other scholars, and even the second best scholar. The number one scholar is directly awarded the sixth rank and enters the Imperial Academy, while the second best scholar is admitted to the Imperial Academy by the seventh rank.
Seeing Lian Guoshi forcefully and calmly leaving to return home accompanied by the officials of Shuntian Mansion, Feng Ziying and others were envious and knew that they could not force themselves. The top pick and second place in each subject depended on chance and luck. It is in line with the wishes of the elders and regardless of the emperor's holy will. For the students who can pass the Jinshi examination, they are still very satisfied.
Feng Ziying even felt that Fang Youdu, who was smiling at all times, was not a fellow Jinshi in the top three, but more like one of the top three. His indifferent joy looked really detached.
"Uncle Fang, what are your plans?" Feng Ziying walked at the end with Fang Youdu, and Feng Ziying asked with a smile: "It seems that you are planning to go home?"
"Well, I know it won't be my turn to be chosen as a concubine. I am self-aware, and I will be leaving in June. I plan to take leave and go home after the Enrong Banquet and the visit to the Master's Temple." Fang You Du was in high spirits, and his mood was not affected at all by being ranked among the top three Jinshi. "My father and mother also hope that I will go home and get married as soon as possible. Well, they also hope that the Fang family will have children as soon as possible."
"I'm afraid your father-in-law didn't expect that you would pass the Jinshi exam, right? I'm afraid he really got a Jinshi for nothing. I'm afraid everyone in your county will praise him for his sharp eyesight and talent." Fang Ziying's family situation is very poor. It is clear that in the past six months, the two of them have interacted more and more, and they have become more and more familiar with each other.
"Haha, Jia Yue was also a scholar. Unfortunately, he failed many provincial examinations, which has always been a pity. Before Zhuo Jing got engaged to me, countless people came to propose marriage, but Jia Yue only wanted to find a scholar..."
"If you're not a scholar, there are so many scholars in the world, so why don't you just raise people?" Feng Ziying interrupted Fang Youdu without politeness, "If you were only a scholar, do you think your father-in-law would look for you? There is also good land for dowry. One hundred acres, one house in the county, and even three shops, haha, I'm afraid it will cost no less than ten thousand taels of silver, right?"
Fang Youdu didn't feel dissatisfied. At this time, he was in a better mood than anyone else and was still smiling.
"Ziying, I know you don't agree with my marriage, but you have to know that I am different from you. My father and mother are still in my hometown, so someone needs to take care of me. As for my family, to be honest, I I have admired Zhuojing for a long time, but I never dared to hope for it before, so now I am very satisfied..."
"Okay, okay, Uncle Fang, I know you've said this countless times." Feng Ziying quickly waved her hands, "I guess everyone will take leave and go home. It doesn't matter if you don't participate in the Shujishi Hall election. You can take a few more days off as appropriate, but are your family going to move to the capital?"
Both Shujishi and Jinshi had to observe government for two years, but the appointment of officials after that would depend on the situation. It was also possible to let officials go outside, but under the avoidance system, it was impossible for people like Fang Youdu to return to Nanzhili to serve as officials.
Fang Youdu hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head: "I'm afraid not. Zhuo Jing has to take care of his parents at home. Jia Yue also said that if it is convenient, he can marry a concubine or two and come to Beijing with me to take care of me."
Feng Ziying couldn't help but click her tongue, when did Fang Youdu become a loser? It used to be that he didn't even dare to think about having a daughter-in-law, but now he often talks about marrying two concubines and bringing them to the capital to take care of his own life. This is really different.
But Feng Ziying also knows that this is the most normal situation in this era. Let alone Jinshi, even if you are selected as a candidate, which candidate's family does not have several concubines?
In the past, Feng Ziying was not very familiar with it, but later I learned that, except for Xu Xie, who was famous for his poetry and prose, he had to wait until he became a Jinshi before marrying, but he had not yet married a wife, but he also had concubines at home. There are five or six bedrooms, and the others have already married and had concubines, and even have several children. Of course, most of them are in their early twenties.
Fang Youdu comes from a poor family, so he has never been married. However, once he wins the imperial examination, wealthy families from his hometown will immediately come to get married. This is a routine operation and a normal thing. Now that Fang Youdu has won the Jinshi again, I'm afraid As the tide rises, it becomes even more popular.
Even Xu Qixun, who is only one year older than him, has already been engaged at home. He can get married as long as he passes the exam. According to Xu Qixun, even if he fails the exam in the next subject, his family will have to consider getting married. Problem.
Indeed, everyone will face huge changes in life after passing the imperial examination, especially after passing the imperial examination, they will face the conferment of officials after two years of observing politics.
Either stay in the capital, and the shuji scholars can directly enter the Imperial Academy, while the ordinary jinshi who are not shuji scholars can enter the Sixth Ministry, the Imperial Palace, Dali Temple, the General Administration Department, the Fifth Army Governor's Office, Honglu Temple, and Taichang Temple. However, a small number of Jinshi and a considerable number of fellow Jinshi may have to be released as officials in the capital. This will all depend on the vacancies of central and local official positions in the imperial court and their respective performances in two years' time.
With the end of the Chuanlu Ceremony, the imperial list was quickly posted outside the left gate of Chang'an.
Although the number of people who came to see the list this time was not so huge, the level of people who came to see the list was even more different. Many were young men from various families in the capital city, and some were simply children of high-ranking families who came in person. Look at the list.
Feng Ziying and others knew the rankings of herself and her classmates, relatives and friends who were close to them on the spot, so there was no need to look at the rankings. Others could only find out through this channel who the top two and three top families belonged to.
The Feng family was overwhelmed with surprises coming one after another.
For the servants, children and maids, this period is undoubtedly the happiest time. The mistress and wife at home are all smiling. Even if they make any mistakes, they don't care about them at this time. What makes them even more happy is that one after another The ultimate reward.
The young master has already been rewarded for passing the Jinshi exam. Now the people who read the rankings come back and say that the young master ranks among the top 20 and ninth in high school. This is the real high school. The top 2 and top 3 Jinshi are naturally unknown to ordinary domestic servants and maids. It's meaningful, but the Duan family, the Su family and the Xie family, as well as several housekeepers in the family, still understand that it is unusual.
This means that not only is the young master expected to attack the Shujishi, but also the possibility of staying in the capital as a court official after two years of observing the government is greatly increased.
This time, Feng Ziying took the initiative to say goodbye to the other students and went home. The important matter was decided, and the next step was to choose the Shujishi Hall in three months.
But Feng Ziying is not too worried about this. The Ministry of Etiquette and the Ministry of Officials mainly select the shuji scholars, and they are supervised by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. At this point, if the shuji scholars still pass by him, then There is really going to be a big disturbance.
Naturally, there was a lot of excitement after returning home, and the servants and maids came to congratulate him one after another.
But the resentful looks from Ming Huan, Ming Zhu and the other maids were unavoidable. Now that they couldn't enter the young master's room, the aunt's dream was getting farther and farther away. The looks made Feng Ziying a little worried that Yun Shang would become more and more sad in the house.
"How can it be that exaggerated? Although Sister Minghuan and the others don't like slaves very much, they are now in the young master's house, so they will not embarrass the slaves. Besides, they just can't enter the young master's house now, in case the young master comes again in the future Now that you’ve figured it out, isn’t there still a chance?”
Yun Shang, blushing and delicate, stood in front of Feng Ziying, with the sweat towel in her hands twisted, and her body couldn't help but twist around.
Since that night, the two of them have become closer, but Yun Shang is also more and more afraid of being like this in front of the young master. She is worried that if the young master loses control and really crosses the line and harms the young master, then He is really at the end of his rope.
Feng Ziying now somewhat understands Fang Youdu's state of mind. After returning to her hometown, she is surrounded by beautiful wives and concubines all day long, and the pretty maids are waiting on her. You said you have no idea, you are used to this. It is really sad to suddenly return to Beijing to live a lonely and lonely life.
I am still only a girl named Yun Shang. She is full of blood and has the feeling of committing a crime. Fang Youdu, who has never experienced such a temptation test, will naturally be unbearable.
"No, I'm not interested in Ming Huan Mingzhu and the others." Feng Ziying quickly stopped her: "Yun Shang, please don't let it slip so stupidly. If you make them think about it, you will be in trouble in the future."
Yun Shang hesitated for a moment, "But it will definitely be the second half of the year until the government buys the little girls from Datong and Yangzhou, and these little girls will have to be trained for several years before they can be used. What about the young master in the past two years? What to do? My wife has already mentioned this, and we really can’t delay it any longer.”
"Well, let's wait a little longer. This matter is not that urgent." Feng Ziying waved her hand, "Besides, we won't select Shujishi until June. We have to wait until after June."
Not to mention that everyone in the Feng family was full of joy, the grand ceremony was announced, and the shocking momentum of the announcement of the imperial list began to slowly spread to the entire capital city.
The fresh emergence of new scholars means that the latest batch of future scholars and civil servants of the Great Zhou Dynasty have begun to enter the Great Zhou Dynasty to begin their period of observing the government. The entry of this new blood will give life to those who have been dormant for a long time. What did the Zhou court bring?
By this time, the Spring Palace Competition for the fifth year of Yonglong has been basically finalized. The turmoil in the Gongyuan between the lock-up and withdrawal of the thorns, and the disagreements and confrontations between the emperor in the Fengtian Palace and the chief assistant readers will all be revealed. Careful people ponder carefully, and even derive countless explanations, which slowly sway and ferment with the gentle breeze and gentle waves.
Naturally, this kind of information will inevitably be transmitted further and further through various channels by many people, well, such as the Supreme Emperor and the Palace of Prince Yi Zhong.
