Danchi's countermeasures have three thousand words, and the title of "Five Colors of Spring" is on the gold list.
Thousands of candidates were waiting eagerly outside the Gongyuan. The announcement of the results brought with it the expectations of many people, but also the disappointment of countless people.
The huge gold medal list was covered with a huge piece of red silk. The crackling firecrackers sounded again, the drums and bells were played, and the suona was played. No matter how noisy the sound was, it could not stop the eager mood of the candidates.
With a crash, the big red silk was torn off, and everyone's eyes were focused on the gold list.
"I hit it, I hit it, I really hit it, hahahaha." Someone shouted excitedly.
The one opened is the B list. The gold list is divided into two lists: A and B. The B list is the Jinshi. The A list is also commonly known as the top three, the number one, the second, and the third flower.
The scholar who shouted that he had been selected to be elected was so excited when he saw his name on the B list that people around him kept congratulating and congratulating him.
"congratulations."
After him, cheers of joy could be heard endlessly, and people kept seeing their names on it. Each scholar was surrounded by people, including businessmen, officials, and ordinary people. Businessmen and officials naturally recruit talents. Or take him directly to your house and recruit him as your son-in-law.
This is a custom that has been passed down since the Song Dynasty. Whenever there is an imperial examination, these people will come to capture the son-in-law.
Tan Zongzheng's name was also listed, and he was also on the B list. He grabbed Liu Zizhang's arm in disbelief, pointed at the B list in front of him and said, "Is this me? Is this my name? Liu Brother, please help me see if it is true, is it true? I really hit it."
Liu Zizhang was sincerely happy for him; "Zong Zheng, you won. Congratulations on getting what you wanted."
When Tan Zongzheng heard this, he couldn't help but laughed and said: "Hahaha, I won, I won, Zizhang, I really won, haha, forty-seven, not bad, finally gave me the old Dad has an explanation, haha."
His voice made many people feel sad. After studying hard for ten years, they were all the same scholars. Why could others succeed but they couldn't? Many people began to cry uncontrollably.
"How could this happen? Why didn't I hit? Why didn't I hit?"
"I don't accept it, why didn't I win?"
Such voices will appear in every scientific examination. They are some scholars whose mentality has not been adjusted, and some even fainted. They are hurriedly carried away. Most people are still good and can accept it. After all, the big test is just one in a million. A natural high school with real materials.
As for those who don't win, naturally no one will care about them.
Liu Zizhang looked at the B list. Although he was confident, when the list was released, things suddenly changed. He felt nervous and became a little worried.
Yan Song congratulated Tan Zongzheng and seemed much calmer and more stable. When he saw that his name was not on the B list, he was just slightly disappointed, but also seemed to be relieved. I wonder if there will be him on the A list?
There are not many moves that are worth paying attention to when participating in Enke's trial this time, so he is still looking forward to the first ranking.
"Top three in this department."
The noisy streets were quiet again, and even those who couldn't bear the blow were looking forward to it. They didn't even think about it. If they couldn't get on the B list, how could they win if there were only three places on the A list.
"Top three, number one, Zhu Shou."
Wow!
Number one, number one, Zhu Shou? Who is Zhu Shou? Where, where.
Everyone's eyes were searching the crowd, hoping to see where the number one person named Zhu Shou was.
According to the regulations, the top three scholars must be selected in person. That is to say, only after the face-to-face meeting can they be considered as the real top three-level Jinshi, number one, second place, and third overall. As for the Jinshis on the second list, they also have the opportunity to enter the palace. Come to think of it, that's a matter for the top three.
There was no Zhu Shou in the crowd, because someone was in the palace, busy discussing politics with the three pavilions in the Yangxin Hall. He was waiting to meet the top three in Jinke. As for the number one scholar, was there anyone else besides him? It is impossible for the number one scholar to appear. If the elders in front of me find out, will they go crazy?
Gongyuan.
It turned out to be Zhu Shou. There were not only Liu Zizhang, Tan Zongzheng, and other people who were familiar with Zhu Shou, but also Yang Shen, the maid sent by Miss Hua Yurong from Qionglou to inquire about the gold list.
The deafening sound of firecrackers sounded again, but the enthusiasm has not faded. "The second place in the top three in this department is Liu Zizhang."
Boom, there was a sudden explosion in Liu Zizhang's head, he won the second place in the top three.
Liu Zizhang was stunned on the spot. He couldn't believe that he had really won, and he was still ranked second in the top three, until Tan Zongzheng shouted strangely: "You've won, Zizhang, you've won, you've won, second in the top three." Congratulations, why are you still standing there, you won."
Yan Song handed over his hand and expressed congratulations. Until now, he still has a steady attitude, which is really eye-catching.
"Brother Liu is a great talent. Enke is a blockbuster in the competition. He is ranked among the top three. Congratulations." Yan Song said.
Everyone looked over, and there were big businessmen and some officials squeezing towards them, wanting to come forward to talk and win over.
The officer in front of the Gongyuan Gate once again said loudly: "This is the top three in this department, the third in the first class, Yan Song."
When his name was called out, his previous calmness turned into joy. He was stunned for a moment, Liu Zizhang came back to his senses, not only took a good look at him, but also congratulated solemnly: "Brother Yan, congratulations."
Tan Zongzheng also looked at this polite young man, and he did not expect that he would be ranked third among the top three.
"congratulations."
"We are all happy together, two brothers. The messenger who delivered the good news went to your and my inn to report the good news. Brother Liu and Brother Tan, are you interested in having a drink with me?" Yan Song kindly invited me.
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders. After the palace examination, brother Yan, we will meet again." Liu Zizhang responded with a smile.
Tan Zongzheng was so happy that he waved his hand and said, "You don't need to invite me. I'll invite you to the banquet tomorrow. My family owns the best Funing restaurant in Beijing. I'll invite you tomorrow."
Yan Song couldn't help but be surprised, good guy, the Funing Restaurant actually belongs to his family? It turned out to be the young master of the richest family in Tongzhou.
"I was reckless. In front of the richest man in Tongzhou, Shaodong, Yan Song spoke so loudly. Tomorrow, I will definitely go to a gathering to say goodbye." Yan Song's attitude towards Tan Zongzheng was very low.
Tan Zongzheng said casually: "Please."
Liu Zizhang regained his composure and said calmly, "Brother Yan, you and I will meet again tomorrow, please."
"please."
Qionglou.
"Miss, Miss, I'm so happy, I'm so happy. I won the prize. Mr. Zhu, he is the top scorer in high school and the top three. Miss, you are so discerning." The maid jumped up and down happily and shouted.
Hua Yurong was standing in front of the window, her beautiful eyes looking into the distance, her longing and melancholy, her slender fingers twirling her blue silk hair, and her glance at Pingting's smiling face, which made people look infatuated, she was such a stunning beauty.
Suddenly hearing the maid's cry of joy, the little daughter's charming and innocent posture was revealed, her brows and eyes were filled with joy, and she trotted towards the maid with lotus steps.
"It's true that Mr. Zhu has won, right?" Hua Yurong's joy was beyond words.
"Miss, I really won. Yes, I saw Mr. Zhu's name on the list with my own eyes. The guard even shouted, Zhu Shou is the number one in the top three. He can't be wrong." The maid was happy for the young lady.
Hua Yurong's pretty face flushed, thinking of the day when the servant named Zhang Zhong told her godmother's affairs. She really had nothing to do in Qionglou all day long. No matter who came, they were blocked out. In the past, doing My mother always found some wealthy families or high-ranking officials for her, and asked her to meet them.
Now, if those people bring it up again, the godmother will bluntly refuse. Although I don’t know how Mr. Zhu did it, making the godmother so scared, but now that Mr. Zhu has won the top prize, is he really going to escape from the sea of misery? Now, will Young Master Zhu take me away?
In her opinion, being able to follow someone who doesn't hate her and can pity her is the best result. Her godmother told her to entertain Mr. Zhu well, so she did it and was very willing to do so. I don't know. She took a liking to Zhu Shou, and she had an indescribable feeling. It was as if she felt at ease as long as she was by his side, and was not afraid of anything. It was very comforting.
When she heard that Zhu Shou had won, her first feeling was joy, and her second feeling was hesitation. Will Mr. Zhu come to pick her up? Can Mr. Zhu still accept her identity now?
"Will he come back?" Deep in Hua Yurong's eyes, there was a hint of self-pity and sorrow.
The joy in my heart turned into a wisp of lovesickness and melancholy. It was a scene that appeared in many dramas in ancient times. It was a sad story about love since ancient times. I died for him, went crazy for him, and made bean curd soup for him. But the women in the story all ended up being different. Not very good, can she be an exception? Will Mr. Zhu Shou be the heartless man?
He hadn't come to see her for so many days. Although he sent a servant to deliver the message, why didn't he come to see her now that he had finished the exam for so many days.
Of course she didn't know why Zhu Houzhao didn't come.
In Cining Palace, Xia was called into the palace by the Queen Mother.
"You are really clever with your skills, Xiu'e. The Ai family has been in this Cining Palace all day, and no one talks to them. From now on, you will often go to the palace to accompany the Ai family. The Ai family will be happy when they see you. ." Empress Dowager Zhang held Xia's hand and spoke with a smile.
Although Xia was shy, she was also happy. She was still very nervous at first. After the Queen Mother's praise, she relaxed a lot. She also looked forward to the days after entering the palace. They said that mother-in-law is the most difficult to take care of. This mother-in-law is really good. , it’s not difficult to serve! She thought about what her father had told her, and she was not only confused.
To be honest, his father was really right. The late Emperor Hongzhi only loved Empress Dowager Zhang, and allowed her to be loved by thousands of people. People said she was jealous, but in fact, she was not. Empress Dowager Zhang was a very good person. It's just that Zhu Youtang only loved one person in his life, and they always respected each other as guests. The former emperor governed the court and the country, and the Queen Mother Zhang took care of the harem. They were indeed a model of harmony between husband and wife among the subjects in the world.
Empress Dowager Zhang knows what kind of woman can help her husband, so she carefully chooses a life partner for her son Zhu Houzhao. She personally selected Xia, who is beautiful, intelligent, dignified in behavior, and especially has a pleasant temperament. , a little shy, but also cute and cute, really similar to her, this is the reason why she likes him the most.
The queen, to outsiders, must have a dignified attitude and behavior, so that she can be a mother to the world. If she is like this to her husband, what's the point? Then she must be a little bit naive like a little daughter, so that they can complement each other. Xia is very good and fully agrees with her request. , it doesn’t matter if you don’t like it.
Xia stayed in the harem for a long time before being sent out of the palace. When Zhu Houzhao got the news and rushed to Cining Palace to meet his future queen, the two missed it again.
"Liu Jin, remember to tell me next time, I must meet the queen." Zhu Houzhao said angrily.
He and Bazi were not allowed to meet each other before. This was against etiquette, so even the emperor, except the Queen Mother, could not meet with the Queen Mother. Therefore, every time the Xia family entered the palace, Zhu Houzhao was not reported, which made him very upset. Annoyed, what the hell are the regulations? Could something happen to my wife when we meet her?
"This slave obeys the order and will definitely let the emperor see his future empress next time." Liu Jin said flatteringly.
Zhu Houzhao just complained, and then he went to the Cining Palace to pay his respects, and then went to the Royal Manufacturing Bureau to work on the tools himself.
In Wang Qiong's mansion.
Bang, a tea cup fell to the ground and shattered, tea splashed everywhere.
"You said he won, or was he ranked first?" Wang Jinglong asked angrily.
Seeing the young master's question, the young man did not dare not answer, and nodded honestly, "Back to the young master, I have won. The name of Zhu Shou is at the top of the list. Now, it has spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital."
Wang Jinglong muttered to himself in a daze, "How could this happen? He actually won, and he was still at the top of the list, and he actually won the top prize. Did he really not do anything?"
The same scene happened not only in Wang Qiong's house, but also in the houses of several other ministers and ministers. When they thought about the bet that Wang Jinglong made that day, they felt like dying. It would be great if they just won the B-list Jinshi. They don’t take it seriously yet, but can they really afford to offend the number one pick at the top of the A-list?
Gu Dingchen, the number one scholar in the spring period, has now been promoted from editor to Zuo Yude's attendant. How long has it been? If he is promoted again, he will be the minister, number one, and the current dynasty Xie Ge, Chenghua Shishi The number one scholar in that year, look at him now, he is a very popular minister, he is the bachelor of Dongge in the cabinet, he is the number one scholar.
When they thought of this, they felt cold in their bodies. Now they were in big trouble. It was a small bet and they had offended the top pick, but they had offended the future big shots and the top three figures, but they couldn't afford to offend them.
"Come here, hurry up and invite Wang Jinglong."
