The next moment, a servant came out of the room behind the emperor's list and sang loudly: "The Lu family who ranked fifth in the provincial examination is from Xinghua Lane, Xicheng, the capital."
After the roll call, two more people went to the gold list and wrote the names of the Lu family.
It turns out that this is how the final five were announced. Speaking of which, I still have a chance. It's a pity that the fifth place is not me.
Jia Huan worried about gains and losses and waited extremely nervously for the announcement of the next name.
After a while, all the candles were replaced in the inner hall, and they continued to write the name of the fourth person.
At this time, not to mention Jia Huan, except for the candidates on the list, all other candidates are looking forward to it.
This is one of their last chances, and they are extremely eager to hear their names next.
"Li Ling'er, who ranked fourth in the provincial examination, is from..."
Neither did fourth place. Jia Huan was disappointed, and Liu Changqing and Xu Shichang beside him became nervous.
Next, the candles in the inner hall were replaced again.
Unfortunately, the third place is also not Jia Huan's name.
Until the roll call started for the second place: "Lin Mubai, the second place in the provincial examination, his hometown..."
Among the crowd, someone suddenly laughed wildly: "I won, I won! Haha, I am Yayuan, haha! Hahahaha! I won! Yayuan! Yayuan! Yayuan!"
From a distance, one could hear Lin Mubai's voice.
Jia Huan called it bad luck, and Liu Changqing and Xu Shichang were also very depressed.
Unexpectedly, such a villain would be allowed to win the Yayuan, God really has no eyesight.
The candles in the inner hall are replaced again, and the last one in the provincial examination is about to make his debut.
Not long after, the officer called again: "Jia Huan, who won the first place in the rural examination, is from the Rongguo Palace in the capital."
When registering for the provincial examination, Jia Huan didn't even have to go there by himself. Naturally, he applied for the Rongguo Duke's Mansion.
But when it was time to take the provincial examination, he was kicked out of the house by the Jia family.
However, the registered place of birth has not been changed accordingly, so the place of birth posted now is still the Duke of Rongguo.
However, at this time, did Jia Huan still notice this?
When he heard the words Jia Huan, who came first in the provincial examination, it was like a thunder exploded in his mind.
Suddenly, he felt that the surrounding scenes were hazy, and the noisy sounds seemed to be far away at once, making them sound unreal.
Liu Changqing and Xu Shichang beside him, with sincere smiles on their faces, congratulated him repeatedly, but Jia Huan had no reaction for a while.
He turned his head left and right to look at the two people, then turned and looked at the crowd behind him, suddenly feeling an extreme sense of unreality.
Liu Changqing and Xu Shichang didn't care either.
Their reaction after winning the championship just now was not as good as Jia Huan's.
What's more, Jia Huan ranked first in the provincial examination, and this was Duke Xie Yuangong.
After a while, Jia Huan finally woke up.
He couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart. He just passed the provincial examination by a mere Jieyuan. He was so rude and would be an embarrassment to the time traveler.
Jia Huan hurriedly said to Liu Changqing and Xu Shichang: "We are happy together, we are all classmates, and we won the national examination at the same time. It is a good story. I am hosting a banquet for you two dear friends today. I will not return until you are drunk!"
Liu Changqing and Xu Shichang also said loudly: "I won't go home until I'm drunk!"
The three of them joined hands, squeezed out of the crowd, and went to a restaurant to drink.
…
Let's say that after the list of successful candidates came out, the messengers became busy.
Some of these successful scholars are locals in the capital, so naturally they are easy to talk about, and they can just come directly to announce the good news.
There are also some around the capital, so you need to prepare fast horses.
The people who bring good news are all experienced veterans. From the county examination, government examination, college examination, all the way to the final palace examination, they are the ones who announce the good news, and a complete industry chain has been formed.
Those who get good results in the provincial examination all have a pair of eyes for wealth.
The highest ranking in the provincial examination is naturally the first place, Jieyuan, but Jieyuan is not necessarily the richest family.
Oil and water may not be the most abundant.
But this time the situation is quite different. This time the first place in the provincial examination, Jie Yuan, turned out to be from the Rongguo Duke's mansion. This is a real big dog.
So, a group of people who announced the good news quickly took action and went straight to the Rongguo Duke's mansion.
Coincidentally, the person who announced the good news this time and the person who announced the good news for the county test were almost the same group of people.
Well, the heraldry profession naturally has a pyramid structure, and the more lucrative jobs are naturally taken over by the more prestigious heraldants.
This group of good news messengers can be said to be experienced, because in less than a year, they have come to Jia's house for the fourth time to bring good news.
The rewards they received the first three times were very generous, and they must be indispensable this time. It was enough for them to play with the door ajar for a month.
When they came to Rongning Street, they beat gongs and drums and swaggered through the street.
Not long after, they arrived at the gate of Rongguo Mansion.
They immediately announced the good news loudly: "Congratulations to the third master of the Jia family, Bahuan, for passing the provincial examination of high school. He will be the first scholar in the high school examination next year. He will be the top scholar in the Jinluan Hall and pass the sixth grade!"
The next few sentences are nothing more than wishing Jia Huan the first place in the national examination and the top prize in high school in the palace examination.
If this is true, then Jia Huan will be ranked sixth.
Historically, there were very few people who passed three yuan, and it was even rarer to win six yuan.
Before the Qing Dynasty, there was only one candidate who passed the Six Yuan exam, and that was Huang Guan of the Ming Dynasty.
Now Jia Huan has achieved the fourth grade, and is only left with the last two exams before passing the sixth grade.
However, these last two exams are also extremely difficult.
However, these messengers found that after they announced the good news, the boys in front of Duke Rong's mansion reacted a little strangely.
Speaking of which, the Rongguo Duke's Mansion is a different kind of existence.
When the first county examination was announced, the boys in front of Duke Rong's mansion actually thought that the third master of their mansion had been kicked out a long time ago.
Later, the government and hospital examinations were normal, but now that the provincial examinations have been announced, they have begun to act abnormally again.
After you heard the news that the third master of your family has passed away from high school, shouldn't you be all smiles? Even if you are not so happy in your heart, at least you should show it on your face!
Shouldn't you come up to me cheerfully, invite your brothers to sit down and have a cup of tea, and reward them with money?
Why do these guys have such ugly expressions on their faces, as if they've eaten shit? What happened to the Rongguo Duke's mansion this time?
At this time, a servant came forward and said: "Well, everyone, you are in the wrong place. Now the third master is no longer in our house."
The person who brought the good news didn't understand for a while: "It doesn't matter if the third master is not at home, you just report the news to the old lady and madam."
What are you afraid of if the third master is not at home? As long as the bounty is there.
The boy had no choice but to say: "What I mean is that the third master is no longer a member of the Jia family."
