Do you know that it starts with Meng Tong?

In the Qin Tower and Chu Pavilion in Jiangning City, there are countless poems written by literati and poets, some are generous and tragic, some are high-spirited. Some are sentimental about the years, lamenting the years, and some are young and successful, singing wildly and drunken horses.

The residents of Jiangning City who got up early were surprised to find that the entire Qinhuai River was dyed rouge color.

Of course, the happiest thing is

For brothel madams, their pockets have swelled countless times in just a few days, and their wrinkled old faces are smiling.

The students who had finished the exam over there were completely herding sheep, but here the Jiangning government office was still closed and waiting.

After collecting the papers, Ti Xuedao and the government clerk worked together to paste the names of the candidates at the beginning of the paper, leaving only their place of birth.

The reason for retaining the native place is that after the birth candidates are selected, they have to attend county schools or government schools.Each county only accepts local students, so quotas must be allocated during admission.

During the process of obtaining a name, academic officials from the government school and the county school were supervising the whole process.

After the rolls were pasted, they were all presented to the dried walrus and put away.

Shen Du, who was acting as the promotion officer, was secretly surprised when he saw Walrus Gan's posture.

This anonymity and supervision were originally just a formality. As an academic official, Walrus Qian could just show off and get by at will. I didn't expect him to do it so seriously and with so much trouble.

Shen Du could only lament that the people who came out of the Hairao Ying Family were just different. Their seriousness in doing things alone could not be matched by any number of flattering officials.

In front of Walrus Gan, there were several large piles of papers, about eight hundred in total. He would definitely not be able to read so many papers by himself.

Fortunately, before he took up the post, he hired several senior staff members who were proficient in writing and writing, so they could do a preliminary screening for him and save a lot of effort.

Several staff members worked hard and read the papers all night long. When Walrus Qian got up and washed up the next day, the leader came to report: "Dong Weng, we will select these [-] articles and ask Dong Weng to read them."

Walrus took a sip of tea and asked calmly: "How is the general quality of the article?"

This staff member from Zhejiang said: "Jiangning is indeed an important place for culture and education, and the articles written by the scholars are not inferior to those of Hangzhou and Shaoxing. Several of them have particularly outstanding articles. I would like to first congratulate Dong Weng for recommending good talents to the country." ”

After hearing the words of his staff, Walrus Qian showed a rare smile on his face. He immediately took the papers and came to the court. After paying homage to the Holy Master, he began the final review of the papers.

After a whole day, Walrus Gan finally made the final admission list.

In the ten counties of Jiangning, each county will recruit five students, and the provincial school will recruit five more students, for a total of 55 new students.

Walrus Gan roughly arranged the seats for these papers, then lined up the first, second, and third place papers, and said to the academic officials present: "This is the ranking determined by me. After you read it, If there is no objection, I will unmask the name and release the list accordingly."

The academic officers respectfully accepted the order and immediately circulated the three papers to each other, reading and commenting on the papers.

Lu Laojiaoyu from the government school saw the top article and said to the county school teacher beside him: "The diction of this article is not exquisite, but the discussion is full of twists and turns, and its momentum is like a mountain breaking into clouds, and it is completely connected from top to bottom. This is not focusing on words, but using words to suppress people!"

After reading the edicts from Shangyuan County and Jiangning County, they all nodded in agreement.

A group of ecclesiastics read the articles of the top three and gathered together to discuss. They all felt that Walrus Gan's selection of scholars was very fair and appropriate, so they said in unison: "We have no objection."

"it is good!"

Walrus Gan nodded slightly and waved his hand: "Unroll the scroll!"

After saying that, several scribes came forward and began to remove the name papers from the 55 rolls, and then copied the names onto the list one by one.

The edicts all unconsciously stood on tiptoes to look at the list, trying to see the names on it clearly.

When Mr. Lu from the Fu School saw the name of the first-ranked case manager, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. He was so excited that he accidentally tore off a few strands of his beard.

"It sure is him!"

……

The next day, the results of the college examination were released. The students who had spent the night in the brothel were woken up by the servants, put on their clothes and went to look at the results.

Many students complained that the results were released too quickly and that they had not enjoyed enough and were about to accept the final judgment.

Eight hundred candidates plus their families and attendants, thousands of people crowded in front of the government office.

Of course, most of them are destined to be disappointed.

Chapter 59 Little Trinity

Wei Chen yawned and got up. After washing, he was going to go downstairs for breakfast, but he saw that the house was already in full swing.

Sheng Changbai and Chen Jun both changed into brand new robes, sat in the hall, and had refreshments.

That's all.

Even the maids and envoys below all put on new clothes. They got up from the bed before dawn, and under the command of the old steward, they swept the house inside and out.

"You are this?"

Wei Chen couldn't help but be surprised when he saw everyone in Shengzhai acting like they were facing a formidable enemy.

Sheng Changbai drank tea and smiled helplessly.

The old steward on the side laughed and said: "Today the results of the hospital examination are released. It is a happy day. The younger one took it upon himself to let the government handle it a little bit, which made Mr. Wei laugh."

After saying that, the old steward glanced at Sheng Changbai's expression and continued: "On weekdays, the second young master often says that you should keep a low profile and be careful in dealing with things. Even young people understand these principles, so they don't make it too public, so as not to make others think that Our Sheng family has never seen the world."

Sheng Changbai couldn't help but nodded when he heard this.

As soon as the old steward finished speaking, several servants outside the door came in with a dustpan full of copper coins and asked the old steward: "Steward Chen, this is the copper coin you asked us to exchange for the reward. Do you think it is enough?"

Wei Chen and Chen Jun looked at Sheng Changbai in unison, their eyes full of teasing.

Sheng Changbai looked back at the old steward and said helplessly: "Uncle Chen, is this what you call low-key?"

Uncle Chen looked embarrassed and could only turn around and complain to the servants: "You guys, didn't I ask you to come back later?"

……

After breakfast, Wei Chen, Sheng Changbai, and Chen Jun left Shengzhai and came to the cross street of the government office. As soon as they reached the intersection, they felt a surge of impetuousness coming towards them.

Thousands of people gathered in front of the government office, and the scene could be said to be chaotic. Fortunately, the government officials came forward in time to isolate the family members and entourage, so there was no trouble.

Wei Chen and the other three stood on the periphery, looking at the crowded scene and could only scratch their heads.

Looking at this situation, it may be impossible to get to the front of the list all at once.

Wei Chen couldn't help but glance at Sheng Changbai and Chen Jun beside him, with a rather helpless expression.

In fact, Wei Chen didn't want to join in the fun. It would be more comfortable to wait at home for the registration person to come to announce the good news, so why make such a trip in person?

However, this time in the college examination, Sheng Changbai and Chen Jun were a little unsure and insisted on dragging Wei Chen to look at the results, so Wei Chen had no choice but to come along.

"Brother Wei, Brother Sheng, Brother Chen, you are also here to see the list."

Along the way, many children took the initiative to greet Wei Chen and the others.

After all, the children who were selected this year had all been to the prefect's banquet and knew each other. If there were any children who had been selected who did not know each other, just ask the people around them and you would know the identities of the three of them.

Especially Wei Chen, the head of the government examination case, attracted the attention of many young and old.

"Is this person the leader of this year's government examination? He's too young, he's just a baby!"

"I have read the articles on the list of government examination questions. This person is one of the top ten in ability. He just happened to write a [-]-parallel essay that suited the needs of the master of the government. That's why he was taken the top spot!"

"Is there such a thing? Isn't this using words to charm people?"

"Haha, Fu

National Taiwan University people like four or six parallel essays. You can find out this if you pay a little attention. I dare say that most of the [-] students taking the exam know this by heart, and most of the essays in the government examinations are written in this style.But so what, why don't we let them take away the head of the case? "

"That's right, you have to admit when you lose. Don't say sour words behind others' backs, which will disgrace us as scholars!"

"you!"

Just as the two groups were about to quarrel, someone suddenly heard someone shouting: "The results are released!"

Suddenly everyone's attention shifted to the thin list, and they rushed to the front of the list.

The hospital examination list is a long list, ranked from high to low. When the notice was posted, countless people rushed forward, and the government officials who maintained order were so crowded that they could not stop them.

At this time, Hai Xiangqian and Shen Du walked out of the yamen gate surrounded by a group of scribes. Seeing the messy scene in front of him, Hai Xiangqian couldn't help but said angrily: "This is unreasonable, how can it be decent!"

The clerk next to him got the signal from Walrus Gan and stood on the stage and shouted: "Master Academic Affairs has issued an order. If there are any more people who are crowded to look at the results, those who are admitted as students will be dismissed on the spot. Those who have not been admitted will not be allowed to do so within three years." Go to the exam!"

Hearing the scribe's threatening words, all the children were horrified. No one dared to crowd forward anymore, and the previous chaos was finally calmed down.

Walrus took a step forward and said loudly: "I will roll the names below. Those whose names are read, from high to low, come up in order."

After that, he picked a dozen loud-voiced government officials to stand in front of the door, while he personally fetched the long case and read loudly: "In the second year of God's blessing, Jiangning Prefecture Examination No. 1..."

The sound of Walrus fucking paused, and the hearts of the children below also rose to their throats.

"No. 1 in the college examination, Youyang Jingxi, Wei Chen, book!"

Walrus Gan's words fell to the ground, and more than a dozen government officials shouted in unison: "No. 1 in the college examination, Youyang Jingxi, Wei Chen, Shu!"

The sound was deafening and echoed throughout the entire venue.

"Wei Chen, why is it him again?"

"The county examination case is the first, the government examination is the first case, the hospital examination is still the first case, this is three yuan in a row!"

The first case of the three trials.

Little three yuan.

It would be difficult for a government to produce such a talented person in decades!

Moreover, this little Sanyuan did not come from those remote places where culture and education were not prosperous, but from Jiangning Mansion, an important place in the world for culture and education.

This alone is enough to make Wei Chen famous all over the world!

After the children in the front row were amazed, they all started to look left and right, trying to find the figure of the newly promoted Xiao Sanyuan.

At the same time, among the three people standing on the periphery, Chen Jun was the first to react and shouted to Wei Chen: "Brother Wei, did you hear that? You've been hit!"

Sheng Changbai was also full of joy, and he bowed to Wei Chen and said, "Brother Fool, I would like to congratulate you in advance for being honored with the honor of being recommended by the Owl and winning consecutive victories in the provincial examination!"

Wei Chen was slightly startled at first, and then a burst of ecstasy filled his heart.

Even though Wei Chen was a man of two generations, he couldn't help but feel agitated at this time, and his eyes were a little moist. He took a deep breath, cupped his fists to Sheng Changbai and Chen Jun and said in return: "Thank you two brothers, I will go first."

Sheng Changbai smiled and said, "Brother Xian, go ahead and don't keep Master Xuezheng waiting."

Wei Chen nodded, lifted up his robe, and walked towards the yamen gate with his head held high.

Everyone consciously moved out of the way, standing on both sides and watching the criminal go away.

At this moment, Wei Chen felt that he had become the focus of the audience, with countless eyes falling on him. He couldn't help but recall the days when he studied hard in a cold window, and now all the hard work has finally paid off!

After crossing the crowd and walking to the steps, Wei Chen bowed to the walrus stem and said, "Student Wei Chen, thank you, Master Xuezheng Zhu Yi, for nodding your forehead."
