After the three yuan and the third, the ministers angered the ceremony and the music collapsed

Chapter 46 The new champion is actually a charming little lady?
Those candidates who were not named on the list looked at this scene with envy in their hearts.

Although they look down on these merchants, they also want to experience the feeling of being so scrambled for by others, and they also want to go to the holy face at the court meeting tomorrow, parade the streets, win Bai Fumei, and walk to the pinnacle of life from then on .

They even couldn't help fantasizing in their hearts, how great it would be if they were surrounded inside at this time, and how great it would be for them to be named on the gold list.

And the children of those aristocratic families were pale-faced, and they were always surrounded by stars and moons wherever they went on weekdays, but now they were ignored.

Such a big difference in treatment made them feel a little unjust, and each of them turned pale, and then walked away.

When Jing Huarong saw Jiang Zhao and the others being surrounded, his face was gloomy, and he ordered the driver to return home.

Jiang Zhao and the others also want to leave here and find a quiet place. This group of people is really scary.

But how could they let these people leave so easily, one by one either grabbed their clothes or grabbed their hands to prevent them from leaving.

The clothes on Jiang Zhao and the others were about to be ripped off.

Wei Xiang stood in front of Jiang Zhao's Jiang Zhao, but two fists were no match for four hands. His hair, which was originally tightly tied, had been pulled loose by the crowd, with a few strands of messy hair drooping on both sides.

Wei Xiang was originally handsome, but now his hair was disheveled, not as cold as usual, but instead added a bit of laziness.

A few rich men even thought about recruiting Wei Xiang, but when they heard Wei Xiang call Jiang Zhao the young master, they understood that Wei Xiang was just a slave beside Jiang Zhao, and they immediately gave up this idea.

No matter how beautiful he is, he is just a slave, and his descendants can only serve as slaves and handmaidens, and they will not be able to stand up for generations.

Although their daughters are just a bargaining chip for them to attract talented people, they cannot push their daughters into the fire pit.

The most important thing is that the status of their merchants is low. If their daughter marries another slave, then their merchants' faces will really be rubbed on the ground.

After thinking about it, everyone focused on Jiang Zhao and Simu Bai, and today they must take them home to marry their daughters.

For a family of merchants, it is even more difficult to enter the imperial court for a lifetime, so they can only be close to these talents who are on the list, so that their descendants may have the opportunity to enter the imperial court.

In this world, the ranking of status is still that of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants, and the status of businessmen is still at the bottom.

Not only can they not travel in carriages, even if they have money, they cannot wear gorgeous clothes, so they can only work hard on fabrics to show their rich family property.

But they also want to live a life of masters, and they want their children and grandchildren to be able to hold their heads up.

But if his son didn't live up to it, he could only rely on his daughter to marry an official.

But those officials looked down on their identities at all, so they could only focus on these humble talents.

Although scholars also look down on merchants, there are always some people who don't want to work hard.

Therefore, everyone's robbing became more intense, and the scene suddenly became chaotic, and the spectators gradually surrounded them. This made it even more difficult for Jiang Zhao and the others to leave.

At this moment, no one noticed that a hand was stretched out to Jiang Zhao.

Jiang Zhao herself didn't notice, and was still wary of those rich men in front of her.

Jiang Zhao didn't notice until the hand was close, subconsciously bent down to hide, and the hand grabbed the scarf tied around her head.

Because of today's rush, the scarf on Jiang Zhao's head was not tied very tightly. With a slight pull of that hand, the scarf on Jiang Zhao's head was torn off, and her black and smooth hair fell loose. down.

Coupled with Jiang Zhao's already handsome face, everyone can immediately recognize that this is not a young man at all, but a charming little lady.

Even the panic that flashed across Jiang Zhao's face did not hinder her beauty.

Fortunately, her face quickly returned to a calm expression.

Ever since the day she decided to disguise herself as a man to take the imperial examination, she had thought that her identity as a woman would be exposed one day, but she never thought that this day would come so early.

Therefore, at this time her scarf was torn off and the woman's identity was exposed, she didn't panic too much, soldiers came to block her, and water came to cover her up.

But the identity of her woman shocked the people around watching the excitement, as well as those wealthy people who wanted to catch her back to be their son-in-law.

The originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and it was even so quiet that everyone's breathing could be heard clearly.

Everyone present was so shocked by the scene in front of them that they couldn't even speak.

Even the palace attendant who came to announce the list was shocked and stared at Jiang Zhao, and froze in place, not knowing how to react.

Jiang Zhao sighed, then unhurriedly stretched out his torn scarf and pulled it back from the rich man's hand, tied up all his hair, and resumed his previous male attire.

But everyone already knew that she was a woman, and even dressing up would not lessen everyone's shock.

A few minutes later, a commotion erupted from the crowd.

"This... How could the new champion be a woman?"

"She turned out to be a woman disguised as a man?"

"How dare she, how can a woman take part in the imperial examination, this move is really treasonous, this kind of woman should be tied up and soaked in a pig cage!"

"It is absurd for a woman to take part in the imperial examination. The word "examination" is tainted by her beauty."

"It's really an insult to the imperial examination. We actually had her in the same examination room and called her brothers and sisters. It's really a shame in my life."

"It's ridiculous, how can women take the imperial examination!"

……

The rich men who were still holding portraits just now and hoped that Jiang Zhao could marry their daughters immediately retreated.

Jiang Zhao disguised herself as a man to participate in the imperial examination. This is a crime of deceiving the emperor. It is very likely that it will harm the whole family. They don't want to get involved in it.

Even the few candidates who took part in the examination together before, now add insult to injury, sneering and sarcastic, feeling that being in the same examination room as Jiang Zhao is the greatest shame in their lives.

And the few palace attendants who came to release the list came back to their senses and immediately returned to the palace. They wanted to report the situation here to His Majesty and let His Majesty deal with it.
