Chapter 320 Listing in Progress (Part 2)


Chapter 320 The announcement of the results is in progress (Part 2)

For the old lady’s birthday party, the Linhuai Marquis Mansion also invited the most popular theater troupe in the capital and set up a stage in the garden to perform the recently popular Several operas by Zhenghong were performed in a babbling manner.

Everyone here watched with gusto, and cheers rang out from time to time. Only Zhu Pingan looked at the performance on the stage and felt it was boring. How could someone who has experienced Hollywood blockbusters and domestic films and TV shows be interested in these things? I have feelings for operas that I don’t understand.

A song "The Story of Huan Sha" pushed today's birthday banquet to a climax.

The third master of the Hou Mansion had prepared three baskets of money early. After listening to the opera, the old lady happily said "reward", and the second master of the Hou Mansion ordered the young man to put the money in the basket. Money was scattered on the stage.

There was a crackle, and it was like money raining down on the stage.

When the old lady saw it, she was very happy, smiling, and very happy.

"No wonder the lanterns burst and bloomed yesterday, and knotted again and again. It turns out that it was supposed to be today, but I have to thank the old birthday girl." The singer in the theater troupe bowed and thanked the old lady of the Hou Mansion.

Zhu Pingan was the youngest at the table. Since no one came to serve him, Zhu Pingan took over the task of pouring tea and wine. He poured tea and wine for the people at the table. For a moment, The atmosphere at the table was quite harmonious.

This table is filled with poor relatives of the Hou family. Zhu Pingan is sitting at this table, and he has the potential to be a foodie. Seeing that Zhu Pingan has such a good appetite, these people seem to have never eaten delicious food. She thought that Zhu Pingan was a poor relative of the Hou Mansion just like them, so she didn't avoid Zhu Pingan. She sat at a table and whispered about the secrets of the Hou Mansion. Because in these years, the Hou Mansion has only been focused on climbing up the ladder, and has looked down upon poor relatives like them. When they talked about the difficult secrets of the Hou Mansion, they also had some personal emotions in it.

Then, Zhu Ping'an felt that what they were talking about was much more interesting than the operas sung on the stage. The Marquis of Linhuai was not clear with the maids at home. The master of the second house liked to hook up with the little master in the nunnery, and sometimes he would The handsome young man in the house was dragged into the room to make a fuss. Why are the big master and the second master conspiring together? The business that the third master started working outside is described as having noses, eyes, and emotions.

When the birthday banquet in the Hou Mansion was getting better, there was a noise outside, and then like dominoes, the noise followed Hou. Word spread outside the mansion slowly to the Marquis's mansion, and then to the birthday banquet.

“Huixi Enke has started to release the results”

The news of Huixi Enke’s release of the results spread throughout the entire birthday banquet. Everyone’s family or relatives and neighbors can’t get around it. There are always people related to him in Du Yuan who take part in the examination, so everyone was very excited when they heard the news about the results of the examination.

“It seems that the rankings will be released a few days earlier than usual this time.”

"This Mr. Xu is really well-informed. He said the rankings would be released today, but he really did." A second-generation ancestor at Fatty Zhou's table said with emotion.

The announcement of the results of the National Examination Enke is similar to the announcement of the results of the Provincial Examination. In both cases, the victory is reported first by a fast horse, that is, a special person goes to the inn or home to announce the good news. After all the reports are completed, the results are announced in front of Shuntian Gongyuan in the southeast of the capital. Post a list.

In the rural examination, people are promoted. Those who pass the examination are called "Gongshi", and the first one is called "Huiyuan". The "Gong" of Gongshi means to pay tribute. In one step, they can be the emperor's disciples. Qingyun straight up. You must know that after being a tribute scholar, you can take part in the palace examination. The palace examination is personally planned by the emperor and is regarded as a "talent promotion ceremony." It's just that the rankings will change slightly.

Once you pass the examination, it means that you are about to rise to the top. If you are more powerful, you will get the top prize, the second place in the exam, the top prize, etc., and you will be admitted to the cabinet and become the prime minister in the future.

Four hundred people will be admitted for this examination, and they will be admitted in full, no less, and there are quite a lot of people. The messengers galloping out from Shuntian Gongyuan on horseback to announce the good news in an endless stream.

After the news of Enke's examination results came, everyone at the birthday banquet looked out eagerly, and each sent their servants out to find out the news. The same was true for the old lady of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion and others. Fatty Zhou from the Marquis Mansion also participated in the examination. of.

"Da da da!"

Suddenly, a brisk sound of horse hooves came from the distant street. Each sound was like stepping into the hearts of everyone, so clear and affecting people's hearts.

Boom!

Everyone at the birthday banquet of the Hou Mansion suddenly became excited. The sound of horse hooves was so crisp, that is, the person bringing the good news came to Gonghou Street.

People couldn't wait to send several more boys out to inquire about the news. The boys who inquired about the news ran out all the way, and not long after they ran back out of breath, they reported that it was a young man from Chengguo's family who was passing by on horseback. Someone who knows how to announce the good news to Enko. When everyone heard this, they were a little disappointed. Really, why did the boy from Duke Chengguo ride his horse at this time? He really didn't know how to choose the right time.

But soon, everyone became excited again, because there was another rapid sound of horse hooves coming from outside.

“Congratulations to Mr. Li Yiyi from Bao’an County, Guangzhou Prefecture for his success in the exam, Enke High School’s 396th place in the exam...”

The policeman’s loud voice of good news came from outside. It's so far

The good news of the trial is from the back to the front, and now it is the 396th.

When Fatty Zhou heard this, he became excited all of a sudden. He stretched out his fat face and looked out excitedly, as if he was the one to announce the good news next.

"Hahaha, Fatty Zhou, why are you so excited? Don't even think about it if you just eat carrots and don't worry about it."

"That's right, at your level, there is no need to worry about it. There are no doors or windows. When God closes a door for you, it will also use the door to trap your brain. Just give up on passing the imperial examination and follow with peace of mind. Let the brothers go to the Beijing camp to find a job, and the brothers can take care of each other in the Beijing camp. "

"That is, if you can win, I will show you how to eat the dishes."

The second-generation ancestors ridiculed the fat man to the best of their abilities and laughed at the fat man. There was even a second-generation ancestor who showed his teeth and picked up a plate and made a bet that the fat man could hit him, so he performed eating the plate.

It had been a while since the last time the sound of horse hooves announcing good news passed by the street in front of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion. Because the four hundred people admitted to the examination were scattered throughout the capital, they did not necessarily have to pass by this street. However, everyone in the Hou Mansion knew exactly where the news was going, because the servants who were sent out to investigate continued to spread the news back to the birthday banquet site.

So far, we have reached the 188th place in the examination report.

"Hahaha, it's already over a hundred. Fatty Zhou, just give up. If there are more than three hundred, if the examiner is blind, you still have a chance. With these more than a hundred, don't even think about it. "

The second-generation ancestors took no time to laugh at the fat man.

"Humph, it's still early, why are you in a hurry." Fatty Zhou snorted, still having high hopes that he would be selected, and looking outside with bright eyes.

"Pull him down, you are still determined to reach the Yellow River. If you can win, I will eat you on the spot."

"Me too"

The second generation ancestors happily hit the fat man. , making fun of Fatty Zhou, not believing that Fatty Zhou could win at all.

While chatting with her sisters, Li Shu heard the voice announcing the good news, frowned slightly, then called Little Maid Baozi into her ear and whispered in her ear, asking Little Maid Baozi to find Wang Xiaoer. , send more people to stop those who announce the good news to Zhu Ping An in advance, stuff more red envelopes, and ask them not to say their last name when they go to the Hou Mansion to announce the good news, just say that they are in the young master's high school. Just say it, keep it secret, and double the reward.

Looking at Baozi’s little maid running out, Li Shu raised the corners of her lips slightly. Haha, having fun alone is not as good as having fun together.
