The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 386: Zhang Zeduan, Zhang Zeduan, who is under the list to catch his son-in-law

After Zhao Gou rewarded Bai Gui, he waved his hand and told Bai Gui to step down and return to the examination table.

Then he selected some candidates who performed amazingly in the examinations of various subjects, and let them go to the front. If they answered the test papers well and played correctly, they would be rewarded.

The kindness is very generous.

One by one, the hearts of scholars and people in the south of the Yangtze River are calmed down.

Most of the candidates for this scientific examination are from various prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River. As for the northern border, it has already fallen.

The answer sheet is in the afternoon.

The exam is over.

Bai Gui left the Chuigong Hall.

Before coming to the palace, he was dressed in plain clothes and white robes.But when he left the palace, he was already wearing a green robe, a fur head, and cloud shoes on his feet, and he had the status of an official.

The Futou is the official hat, and because most of the silk silk used is blue and black, it is also called the Wusha hat.

Every year during the scientific examination, the imperial palace will prepare the official uniforms of the prodigy department.Most of them are in the age group of ten to 14 years old. Although Bai Gui is younger, Lin'an has many smart women, and there are many weavers in the palace.

But at this time, Bai Gui no longer had the joy of being the head of the imperial examination and the first place in the Taoist examination.In the Tang Dynasty, he had won the number one scholar in civil and military affairs, and the first name in the child prodigy department, so there was really nothing to report.

But when the forbidden army was about to open the gate of the palace.

Some candidates walking side by side with Bai Gui suddenly took a step back.

Bai Gui was stunned for a while, but he also came to his senses immediately, stepped back a few steps, and hid beside a group of Jinshi Division Jinshi.

Outside the gate of the palace, the crowd was bustling.

There are quite a few high-ranking officials and nobles in beautiful red clothes, and some servants are wearing title cards, which say a certain mansion and a family's son-in-law, and the specific dowry, and some title cards even state who their ancestors were. Official, who is an official nowadays, it is extremely philistine.

"The Li family recruited a son-in-law, accompanied by 64 dowry, and a thousand acres of fertile land as a gift."

"The Zhang family is recruiting a son-in-law, accompanied by a dowry of 120 eighth, and the master of the house is the minister of Taichang Temple..."

"My young lady has just arrived at the age of Jiji, she is a well-known beauty in Lin'an Prefecture..."

A person shouted at the examinees in the palace.

See this situation.

Bai Gui still doesn't understand, this is the arrest of a son-in-law under the list.

Although the ranking has not yet started, the palace examination does not select people, the palace examination is only used to rank, no matter whether it is the first-class Jinshi and the second-class Jinshi, or the third-class Jinshi, the future will not be guaranteed. Limited.Compared with the fierce competition when the list was unveiled, the candidates now do not know their rankings, so they are easy to be fooled by the temptation outside the door, and it is easier to accept wedding candles.

In short, for the various prefectures outside the gate of the imperial palace, no one in the third class will suffer much.After all, there are so many branches and leaves in each mansion, and they are all rich families. If there are not ten young ladies, there are eight. It is a great thing for the family to catch a Jinshi. Besides, the dowry is also the daughter's family's own, and the husband's family uses it. , Not to discuss with his wife.

However, the bustle of these people outside the door was only limited to the Jinshi candidates.

Candidates in other subjects are a little bleak.

Of all the subjects, Jinshi is the most expensive.

"In the eighth year of Taiping Xingguo, all disciplines of Jinshi began to test law and righteousness... Jinshi began to be divided into three tops." - "Song History Electoral System"

As the noise outside the door grew louder, the Jinshi candidates standing in the front row were a little bit moved.

One!
two!

A dozen or so people, with a little hesitation in their steps, walked to the servants of the mansions with the highest bids, and agreed to this marriage, which was one of the three great joys in life.

One after another, there were more than 20 candidates for Jinshi who came out.

The remaining Jinshi candidates are up for sale.

Have confidence in your grades.

Although the current prices offered by various prefectures are high, they are only roughly equivalent to the prices of the upper third class in the past, and this amount of money is not worth the first and second class.

After so many years of imperial examinations and so many years of catching son-in-law under the list, there are already agreed unspoken rules.

First-class, second-class, and third-class, the specifications for recruiting a son-in-law are different.

Song people are such philistines, with a strong business atmosphere.Not to mention that it is now a small imperial court in the Southern Song Dynasty, and more southerners are engaged in business than northerners.

The noise outside the door gradually stopped.

They knew that the Jinshi candidates in the palace didn't plan to get married now and agreed to the marriage, so they all died down.

"That little gentleman, the little gentleman in the green robe, must have passed the prodigy examination. Come, come to my sister, and my sister will give you caramel..."

Suddenly, the eyes of a servant girl from the great mansion lit up, she looked at Bai Gui who stood out among the crowd, she quickly squatted down, and waved to Bai Gui.

These servants and maidservants came to the gate of the palace to recruit a husband. If they recruited a husband, they would be rewarded after returning to the mansion. Moreover, some maids were the personal maids of the ladies of various mansions. In the future, she fell in love with her husband and became the concubine of a Jinshi.

However, there are too many monks and too few porridge, so it is not easy to match a Jinshi.

But it is not easy to meet a Jinshi, and it is still feasible to kidnap a child prodigy. Basically, child prodigies are granted a Jinshi background. A Jinshi is poor.

The child prodigy department is different from other departments. The child prodigy department is in the imperial examination. After the emperor's assessment, if he catches the eye, he will immediately be awarded an official and give him a family background. Therefore, the scholars still wear plain clothes, but Bai Gui has already become an official.

"Little prodigy, come to my sister, there are cherries here, freshly picked cherries, very sweet."

The beautiful servant girl from another mansion also made a noise, scrambling to say.

She immediately took out a handful of freshly picked purple-red cherries from the food box and held them in her palm as a gesture of temptation.

"Little prodigy, come to Big Brother, I'll be a wooden horse for you to ride..."

A man dressed as the butler of the mansion, shouted.

"My sister can also be a wooden horse for you to ride..."

An individual scrambles to make an offer.

Bai Gui: "..."

The crowd couldn't help laughing.

Although Bai Gui received the same Jinshi background from Zhao Gou and granted it to Secretary Lang, how could they be jealous of a boy? Besides, they could get a fellow Jinshi at worst, so there is no need to be jealous.In addition, they had just left the examination room at this moment, and seeing this scene, they suddenly relaxed a lot.

"I'm sorry for your troubles... I'm the son of Bai's Buzhuang on Qinghe Street."

"Parents' order, matchmaker's words, if you want to talk about marriage, please go to Bai's Cloth Village and talk to my parents. I can't make the decision."

Bai Gui came out, took three steps forward, cupped his hands, and bowed again.

Marriage is a happy event, and baby kissing is a joy in the eyes of the world.It doesn't matter whether he accepts or rejects.It is impossible for him to accept, but if he refuses, how can others take a child's words seriously, who knows if he is not willing at this moment, and will be willing at the next moment.

So the best way is to shirk this troublesome matter to his parents in this life.

And even though his parents want to cling to the powerful, the important matter of getting married cannot be completed in a moment or two, and it can be easily resolved by knowing the stakes at that time.

"Qinghe Street..."

"Bai's cloth shop."

Everyone secretly wrote down the name, walked away quickly, and prepared to go back to the house to find someone to go to Baishibuzhuang on Qinghe Street to propose a marriage.

"You little boy, what a smart head."

"This is the cherry I just picked, my sister, and I will give it to you to eat."

Seeing the crowd disperse, Bai Gui walked out of the gate of the palace, and was immediately blocked by the beautiful maid just now, who stuffed Bai Gui with a large handful of fresh cherries.

"Remember, I am Zhang Di's maid, named Xiao Lian, and my lord is the Hanlin Daizhao, surnamed Zhang, taboo choose Duan, when we Zhang Di go to your Bai family to propose marriage, you must persuade your mother Kiss and dad agree..."

The beautiful maid said with a smile.

In the Song Dynasty, the servants of the mansion generally addressed their masters as lords, not lords.

"Yes, sister."

Bai Gui had no choice but to accept the cherry from the beautiful maidservant, and thanked him by the way.

This maidservant is also smart.

Knowing that so many people have gone to the Bai family, the family has no advantage, so I specifically blocked him here.If it was an ordinary little gentleman, his heart would have already been moved when he met such a caring big sister.

But now he has long turned a blind eye.

But he was stunned for a moment when he heard the second sentence of the beautiful maidservant, Zhang Zeduan, isn't that the one who painted the picture of going up the river during the Qingming Festival?
