The behavior after passing the college entrance examination is actually not much different from that of students who passed the college entrance examination in later generations. Especially before the transcripts come out, the mentality is generally very similar.
Some people let go of everything to have fun. Eating and drinking are just a side trip, and visiting scenic spots is not uncommon. Some even want to go to some alleys to catch and fight with each other.
Others recall with trepidation, recalling the years of hard work they have put into studying, recalling the ardent expectations of their parents and family, recalling whether a certain sentence was appropriate during the exam, and even recalling that when they first fell in love, they determined to pass the Jinshi exam and return to the village to marry. that girl
In fact, in the final analysis, everyone is just nervous. The former type of people use crazy venting to make themselves forget their tension, while the latter type are so nervous that they simply can't get out.
Are you nervous about being pragmatic? In fact, you are quite nervous. Although he has a higher chance of passing the Northern Examination than the Southern Examination, he is a well-known figure. If someone with the same Jinshi background as the 300-year-old is admitted, even Zhu Yijun will find it difficult. He It was even more embarrassing on his own face.
At the very least, you have already passed the 300th place in the examination. It is not easy to get you more than 200th place in the palace examination at once, so you can be included in the group of people who have the opportunity to be selected as Shujishi. So you are very pragmatic and very pragmatic. nervous.
Moreover, he was so nervous that he could not find a group of people of the same year to share the responsibility like other candidates. Most of them lived in some kind of fellow village hall, or they were renting an inn near Gongyuan with their friends. After the exam, everyone could brag about it together. Shit, even playing horses, playing chess, discussing history, etc., to pass the time and relieve the tension.
However, Gao pragmatism is different. His hometown is actually in the capital, and there are no influential people in Henan who are worthy of his close friendship. Naturally, he will not live in the Henan Guild Hall, but in his home in the capital, alone.
Except for attending a small banquet and a big banquet, Gao Pragmatic stayed at home, dealing with industry matters for a while, and pondering the situation of the upper echelons of the capital, but no matter what he did, he couldn't really calm down.
After finally making it to the day when the results were released, Gao Pragmatic changed into a Taoist robe and a Dongpo scarf. He sat in his small building and stared blankly at Shichahai, his mind going blank.
Is it possible to enter the top fifty? It should be possible. What if it is not possible?
I don't even know what I'm thinking.
Gradually, it started to get lively outside, and there were sounds of blowing and beating everywhere. Gao pragmatically knew that this was the "small team" that announced the good news, and sent the rankings to each candidate. It was one thing to feel happy, and red envelopes were naturally indispensable.
Although he knew that these small teams announcing the news were all reporting the news backwards according to the list of candidates who would be selected for the test, that is, the better they did in the exam, the later the news would be announced, but Gao Pragmatic's mood was still getting more and more nervous as time went by.
In particular, under the arrangement of Gao Mo and others, the mansion had already prepared all kinds of festive items and would put up lanterns and decorations just waiting for the messenger to arrive. This made Gao Jingshi even more worried if he missed the chance. , I’m simply too embarrassed to see anyone.
He became more and more frightened, and Gao Mo did nothing until noon. Gao Mo had already prepared meals, and Gao Jingshi had no one to accompany him here, so he ate quietly alone. With his wealth, the food came naturally. It was undoubtedly a good dish, but unfortunately he really didn't have much appetite at the moment. He took a few bites and then sat back on the small building.
Just when Gao Jingshi's heart turned cold and his hands and feet were cold, a particularly loud announcement team came towards Gao Mansion. Gao Jingshi immediately became nervous. Although he still pretended to be calm and sat motionless in his position, his ears It had been erected a long time ago, as if they were afraid that the good news team would suddenly turn around and go elsewhere at the gate of Gaofu.
The servants in the Gao Mansion were so nervous that they all rushed to the door to wait. They couldn't open the door yet, they had to wait for the good news to be called.
Although there will be a palace examination after the joint examination, the palace examination will not depose as a rule, and will only adjust the final ranking. Therefore, the high school for the joint examination is basically the same as this Chunwei High School, and a Jinshi status cannot escape.
At this time, even Gao Mo couldn't hold his breath. He went down from the small building where Gao Qingshi was, ran to the door and waited for the middle door to be opened.
As the team that announced the good news got closer and closer, everyone from top to bottom in the Gaofang Mansion raised their hearts in their throats, waiting for the sound of the announcement.
Just when everyone was so anxious that their feet were sweating, a loud and loud voice announcing the good news suddenly came from outside the door.
"The good news is that the master of Xinzheng County, Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Province is Gao Taobao and pragmatic. He won the first place in the high school Gengchen examination and was honored by the foreman at the Jinluan Palace."
Gao Pragmatic, who was on the small building, suddenly let go of the armrests of the Taishi's chair and leaned softly on the back of the chair. Only then did he realize that his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
Gao Mo and the Gao family servants at the gate also breathed a sigh of relief and immediately opened the middle door to welcome the person who brought the good news in.
The first thing the messengers did when they entered the house was not to go to Gao Pragmatic immediately. Instead, they picked up brand-new shovels, hoes and other things in their hands and smashed the door of the Gao family.
The servants of the Gao family, including Gao Mo, all looked on with smiles. Gao Mo even burst into laughter and urged, "Smash it well, smash it well. Smash it quickly and you will be rewarded by Master Yuan."
As soon as he waved his hand, a servant of the Gao family brought out two large plates of broken silver. They were all cut into two ounces and one piece. Each broken piece of silver was wrapped with a thin red rope and tied into a symbol. Wenquxing's style.
It turns out that there is a special meaning to smashing the door. It is not to cause trouble, but if the door is broken, it is necessary to "change the court", repair the door, paint it vermilion, and change it to "Jinshi No." If you are in the pragmatic hometown of Xinzheng, you can even put up a flag to show the distinguished status of the Jinshi master. Of course, if you are in the capital, this process of raising the flag will be unnecessary. The capital cannot hang the flag casually.
At this time, Gao Pragmatic had also adjusted his condition. Except for his lack of time to change his clothes, everything else was the same as usual. He came downstairs calmly, with his usual "friendly smile" on his face, and saw Gao Mo happily tipping the good news, not missing a single one.
Especially the person who shouted the good news at the top of his lungs. Gao Mo felt that his voice was so powerful and loud that he even gave him a double reward. He was so happy that he bowed and bowed as if the auspicious words were free of charge. The series of children are thrown out.
When Gao Pragmatic came down, he saw that the newspaper was sharp-eyed, so he quickly went up to congratulate him, and then handed the newspaper sticker to him with both hands.
Hui Yuanlang was dignified and even more ambitious. Gao pragmatically told Gao Mo with a smile, "Give me another double reward."
The team that announced the good news couldn't help but thought that they had made a lot of money this time. People say that Gao Longwen gave birth to a Buddha in thousands of families. This is really a Buddha in thousands of families. If people like him don't win the first prize, who deserves to win the first prize?
