Chapter 38 Scientific Examination Results
"No, girl, you are opening the door for business, how can you not accept cash?"
Lin Sangqian shook her head slightly, looked at the perfume on her hand, and whispered: "Not to mention it is such a good thing."
"I just want to thank you, Miss, just this once, how about it?"
But Lin Sangqian seemed calm and gentle, but in fact he was very stubborn. Hearing this, he said: "No, if the girl refuses to accept the money, then I won't take it."
After saying that, he stuffed the perfume directly back to Song Youan.
But those eyes were looking at the perfume very reluctantly and couldn't move away.
Song Youan had no choice but to relax: "Well, since the lady insists, I will accept it."
One hundred taels, if you don’t look at the milliliters, it’s considered an average price.
At this time, I saw a person who looked like a maid running into the yard in a hurry. Her pretty face was red, and she was obviously running in a hurry.
"Miss, Miss!"
The maid rushed to Lin Sangqian and startled her: "Slow down, why are you in such a hurry?"
The maid took a few deep breaths and then said in a hoarse voice: "The results have been released. Today the list is released on the south wall of the Ministry of Rites!"
"What?" Lin Sangqian was startled and frowned, thinking, isn't today the 28th?
"Isn't it the first day of next month when the results are released?" Another maid behind him also reacted, looked at the other person and asked, "You must have heard wrong."
"No, miss, hurry up and go with the slave. Madam and old lady have already gone."
In this way, Lin Sangqian couldn't care less. All three of her brothers participated in this year's imperial examination. She must see her brothers' names on the gold list with her own eyes.
He didn't even bother to say hello to Song You'an, and followed the girl away quickly.
Upon seeing this, Song Youan quickly asked the maid behind: "Don't you know where the lady's residence is? I will send the cake tomorrow."
The maid raised her lips and smiled, saying: "Young lady, please listen carefully. My young lady is the granddaughter of Lin Chong, the prime minister of the current dynasty, and the daughter of Lin Tongze, the Minister of Punishment. The only prime minister's palace in Kyoto is the one the girl asked about. ”
Song You'an was shocked when he heard this. The prime minister's grandson?
The prime minister is the highest administrative officer under the monarch and the head of all officials!
Miss Lin's family background is so prominent, and her family status is far above that of the Duke of Su and the Marquis of Fuyang.
When she came to her senses, she was the only one left in the courtyard again.
After calming down her emotions, she quickly left the house. After hearing what the maid said just now, the imperial examination results were posted at the south wall of the Ministry of Rites, and she wanted to see the excitement.
……
The Jozhao Scientific Examination is held every two years. It is hosted by the Ministry of Rites and assisted by the Ministry of Officials. It consists of the Child Student Examination, the Township Examination, the General Examination, and the Palace Examination. The top three in the Palace Examination are appointed by the emperor, and they are number one, second place, and third overall.
Talents emerged in large numbers in the prosperous age of the Great Zhao Dynasty, and every scientific examination was fiercely competitive. It was like a big wave rushing through the sand. Those who were able to get the title on the gold list and pass the examination had a combination of strength and luck, and both were indispensable.
On the south wall of the Ministry of Rites, a gold medal hangs high.
The dark crowd of people crowded together, raising their heads to look for their own name among the many names.
But only the top three are the most eye-catching.
The column for No. 1 Scholar clearly reads: Liu Fengyan!
"Brother Fengyan! Brother Fengyan! Number one scholar! Number one scholar!"
Among the crowd, Han Mo's voice was particularly abrupt. He hugged Liu Fengyan excitedly and cried and laughed: "You won, you got your wish!" Liu Fengyan had already stood there blankly, and the name written on the top seemed to him at the moment. It felt false and unfamiliar, as if he was illiterate, as if he couldn't recognize the three characters Liu Fengyan.
People around him looked sideways and recognized that this person was Huiyuan Liu Fengyan, the number one person in the examination?
Sure enough, he won the first place in the joint examination and was appointed by the Holy Emperor in the palace examination.
Regardless of whether they knew each other or not, the candidates and students came forward to express their congratulations. Liu Fengyan from Huainan once passed the imperial examination and became an official, he would be in the sixth rank. He would have a bright future.
Liu Fengyan's expression and movements were somewhat stiff and he nodded in understanding with the people around him, while Han Mo looked back to find his name.
Finally, he was found on the second-A roster!
"I got it too! I got it too!"
When he was excited, he pulled Liu Fengyan, who looked dull, and hugged him again: "Brother, I've been hit too, two-level sixteen, two-level sixteen!"
When Liu Fengyan heard Han Mo's words, he finally came to his senses. He finally smiled with red eyes: "We are hit, we are all hit!"
The two of them cried and laughed. All these years of hard study in the cold window were finally in vain. The glorious lintel has brought glory to the ancestors!
Not far away, Song Youan was standing on a huge rock in the corner. She saw the names of Liu Fengyan and Han Mo, and also saw the two of them hugging each other to celebrate.
Although this was the outcome that was destined for the two of them, thinking about that day when they first met in the restaurant, she felt proud at the moment.
"Hey? Miss Song, are you here too?"
Because she stood high, Zhu Ling saw her.
Song Youan jumped down quickly: "I came to see the excitement, I haven't seen the imperial examination results released yet."
Zhu Ling nodded when he heard this and said: "I heard that this year's number one scholar is from Huainan."
Song You'an thought that Zhu Ling also had several brothers in her family, and couldn't help but ask: "Miss, are you here to see the results too? I wonder if any of the brothers at home are in high school?"
Zhu Ling pouted, shook his head, and said sadly: "No."
Song You An suddenly made a mistake and said: "I'm sorry, the daughter of the people didn't mean to..."
Zhu Ling waved his hand: "Don't be sorry. My brothers have a lot of ambition, but they don't have enough ink in their stomachs. There are so many talents in Dazhao, so every scientific examination is like a big wave. How can it be so easy to get into high school?" br>
"But having said that, I also feel sorry for my second brother. He burns oil and lights the lamp every day until dawn, just waiting for this final step. It's a pity that he got anxious during the examination and lost his temper and stopped outside the palace examination. Otherwise, he would be very big this year. There is hope.”
The little maid on the side heard this and said softly: "The second young master is young and promising. He will definitely go to high school in two years."
"I hope so." Zhu Ling sighed softly and turned to say goodbye to Song You'an: "Miss Song, I will go back first. My father knows well and is unwilling to come. My mother and grandmother are waiting in the car for me to leave. Tell them the bad news.”
Song You'an blinked when he heard this, and wanted to laugh when he heard Zhu Ling's words, but held it back.
After Zhu Ling left, she watched the excitement for a while. Some people were happy and some were sad. The crowd exclaimed and wailed from time to time. Some people took the exam for many times but never found their talent and failed. They failed again and broke down and cried. Song Youan looked at it. Can actually empathize.
This was the case in ancient times. Everything was of inferior quality, but only reading was of high quality.
How many people want to cross social classes and honor their ancestors by studying. However, the scientific examination at that time was much more difficult than the college entrance examination in later generations.
Back at the villa, the system jumped out on time.
Today's business income totaled 5,400 taels of Dazhao silver notes. Song You'an exchanged 5,000 taels of them for 5 million and put them into the card. She kept the remaining silver notes in You'anju for her daily needs in Dazhao. .
Happy National Day, babies!
