Monument Yangmen

Chapter 91
The next day, early in the morning, outside the Kaifeng mansion.

As soon as he woke up early in the morning, Yang Yansi was rushed up by Yang Ye to look at the list.

Cao Wei and Yang Yanzhao were not on duty today, and they also accompanied Yang Yansi to watch the list.

When the three of them arrived at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, there were already a huge crowd of people who came to see the list, and there were endless noises, like a vegetable market.

Several pergolas were built around the crowd, and in the pergolas, an elderly woman and her daughter-in-law were selling syrup.

The three of them found a shed to sit in, and ordered three bowls of water and a plate of vegetables.

It was sour in one mouthful.

"Seventh brother, how sure are you that you will pass the exam?"

Yang Yanzhao wasn't interested in starchy water, so he picked up the starchy vegetables with his chopsticks, stuffed them into his mouth, and chewed.

Yang Yansi took a sip of the syrup and said with a smile: "If you get on the list, you should be sure, the key depends on how you rank..."

Yang Yanzhao poured cold water on him, "What if you fail the exam?"

Cao Wei has been in the army for more than a year, and it is inevitable that he has acquired some military habits and speaks loudly.

"If they dare not take Brother Zhongqilang, we will lead our troops in and smash the Kaifeng government office."

Yang Yansi glanced at Cao Wei, "Smashing the Kaifeng mansion's yamen, the tone is not small, your father who is a privy envoy would not dare to do that."

Cao Wei scratched his head, "I just said it so casually, mainly to cheer you up, Brother Qilang."

"This kind of oil should be added less in the future, and the car will easily overturn if it is added too much."

Cao Wei blinked, "How could the car overturn? The more oil you put on the wheels, the more stable it will be?"

The two were not on the same channel at all, Yang Yansi didn't bother to explain to Cao Wei.

"Brother Yang Qi, you came early enough!"

Su Yijian's slovenly figure appeared in front of the three of them, took advantage of the opportunity to sit in front of the table, and patted the table.

"Grandma, serve a bowl of syrup."

The mother-in-law selling syrup responded with a smile.

"Come here...Young lady, make a bowl of syrup for the young master."

Yang Yanzhao and Cao Wei stared at Su Yijian together, and asked Yang Yansi, "Who is this? Your friend?"

Yang Yansi smiled and said, "That's right!"

When Su Yijian heard this, she quit immediately, and shouted: "What do you mean? They are friends at all. We were drinking and chatting in Yanlai Building the night before yesterday."

Cao Wei stared, "Brother Qilang, you went to Yanlai Tower to play, why didn't you take me?"

Yang Yansi shrugged his shoulders, "Someone wanted to ask for a drink in my name, so he dragged me along."

"Be sure to take me with you next time."

Cao Wei speaks righteously.

Su Yijian laughed and said: "What are you waiting for next time, after reading the list in a while, let's go together."

Yang Yanzhao interjected, "Seventh brother, go home after reading the list, father is still waiting for you to come home to announce the good news."

Su Yijian pursed her lips, "Brother, for the news of the good news, just send a servant back. Why don't we go out and celebrate?"

Yang Yanzhao thought about it.

"I have to follow and keep an eye on you."

Su Yijian was overjoyed, slapped the table and shouted, "Cheer up!"

"The list is released! The list is released!"

The students who were watching in front of the gate of Kaifeng mansion suddenly shouted, and then crowded and squeezed towards the gate of Kaifeng mansion.

The central gate of Kaifeng mansion was opened wide, and two groups of yamen servants came out in a file, standing on the left and right sides, fending off the crowd.

An eighth-rank meritorious officer in official uniform, holding a roll of list papers, walked slowly in front of the students.

Gao snorted.

"Gengchen, in the fifth year of Taiping Xingguo, the Chunwei Discussion on Talent Ceremony, the examination was conducted, and one hundred and eight scholars were selected."

"Open the list!"

The shout fell to the ground, and the two yamen servants took the bulletin from Gongcao officer, and hung it high in front of the gate of Kaifeng mansion.

The students flocked to find their names on it.

Cao Wei stared curiously at Yang Yansi and Su Yijian who were sitting still.

"Why don't you go to the list?"

Su Yijian stretched unorganized, "The top three haven't been posted yet, so don't rush over."

Cao Wei stared, "Are you confident that you can hit the top three?"

"What's in the bag."

Cao Wei contemptuously said, "Blow your breath, Brother Qilang can be ranked in the top three, I believe, I don't believe at all that you are in the top three."

Su Yijian shrugged, "We'll wait and see."

After that, he put his hands behind his head, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

From time to time, a commotion erupted from the crowd watching the gang.

"I hit! I hit!"

A group of beggars jumped in front of the student who had won the yell, and said congratulatory words one after another.

The student boldly grabbed a handful of copper coins from his sleeve and scattered them on the ground.

"I'm happy today, thank you."

The beggars happily picked up copper coins on the ground, not forgetting to thank them.

"Thank you, Grandpa, for the reward..."

Some are high-spirited and some are downcast.

Some students searched for a long time on the list, but failed to find their names, so they could only return to their parents dejectedly.

Yang Yanzhao couldn't sit still when he saw people cheering continuously in the crowd.

"I'll go take a look."

Yang Yansi shook his head and smiled, but it was useless to stop him.

After an incense stick of time, Yang Yanzhao came back dejectedly.

"Seventh brother, your name is not used on the list."

Yang Yansi pointed to the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, "Here we come."

Following Yang Yansi's expectations, he saw Lu Duan, the judge of Kaifeng Mansion, holding up a notice, and said a word without using so many words.

"Open the list!"

Then, the list was handed over to the yamen servant.

Yamen servants put up the notice.

There are three names written on the list.

"Kaifeng Yang Yansi!"

"Junyi Su Yijian!"

"Chen Liu, Li Yunlong!"

……

Cao Wei looked at the list and cheered, "Brother Qilang, you won the first place, the first place. From now on, you can call yourself Jieyuan."

In the imperial examination system of the Song Dynasty, there were only three levels of examinations, the examination, the provincial examination, and the palace examination. The boy's examination in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was not used, so the first name in the examination can be called Jieyuan.

The name Jieyuan after the prefectural examination in the Ming and Qing Dynasties also followed the name of the first name of Jieshi in the imperial examination of the Song Dynasty.

Yang Yanzhao was very excited, he pulled over a mansion soldier and gave him a silver coin.

"Hurry back to the house to announce the good news, the seventh young master won the first place in the high school examination."

The mansion soldiers were overjoyed, collected the money, jumped on their horses and galloped towards Tianbo Yang's mansion.

Cao Wei also reacted, and pulled a servant over, "Hurry up and tell my sister."

The servant took the order, stepped on the horse and left in a hurry.

Yang Yansi and Su Yijian looked at the list with surprise.

Yang Yansi did not expect that he would be able to take the first place.

To Su Yijian's surprise, the title that originally belonged to him actually fell on Yang Yansi's head.

After a long time, Su Yijian let out a sigh of relief, "Brother Yang, you took my title away. I'm not reconciled!"

Yang Yansi smiled and said: "I invite you to drink, you can choose any wine in Bianjing."

Su Yijian yelled: "Don't be too happy, I will overwhelm you in the provincial and imperial examinations."

Obviously, Su Yijian was not as relaxed as he appeared on the surface.

Otherwise, how could he not even care about Yang Yansi asking him to drink.Rather entangled in the ranking...
