I have been experimenting with medicine in the Palace of Longevity for 30 years

Chapter 226 Release the ranking!

At this time, in Zizhu Garden, there were already many literati in Confucian robes coming and going, and it was extremely lively.

"Brother Lu, long time no see"

Along the way, people met Lu Wei from time to time and said hello to those who were familiar with him. They should be Lu Wei's acquaintances.

Under the guidance of Lu Wei, He Ping'an and the two walked through the dense bamboo forest and came to the downstairs of an antique star anise bamboo building.

At this time, the open space next to the small building was already crowded with many young Confucian scholars and princes of aristocratic families, as well as many well-dressed young ladies and famous ladies.

There are also some tables and chairs nearby, providing cakes, spiritual fruits, tea and jugs for everyone.

"Heh, that's not bad!"

When He Pingan saw this scene, it didn't look like a poetry meeting, but rather like a large-scale wedding scene in a previous life.

"And these women are all of high quality!"

He Pingan glanced casually. Except for two or three crooked melons and cracked dates, the young women on the field were all beautiful in appearance. The wind and dust of brothel women.

He Pingan patted Lu Wei's shoulder lightly, and said sincerely, "You are indeed a good brother!"

With Lu Wei's introduction along the way, He Ping'an also understood that in the Daxuan Poetry Festival, the competition of poetry is second, and the main purpose is to choose suitable objects for these married young people.

After all, among women, not many know poetry, and most of them come to join in the fun, and at the same time secretly choose their favorite husband.

He Ping'an had a strange feeling in his heart, how this Zizhu Layman, a dignified Confucian and Taoist monk, made him feel like a matchmaker.
Lu Wei was keenly aware of the change in He Ping'an's facial expression, and said via voice transmission: "This layman Zizhu still has three years to live."

He Pingan suddenly understood, so it was.

This Zizhu layman's lifespan is coming to an end, on the one hand, he is using this poetry meeting to select his great-grandson and son-in-law, on the other hand, he is also building a platform for the future of these great xuans, and forming a good relationship for himself.

After his death, as long as someone remembers to use him as a matchmaker, most of his family descendants will be taken care of. As long as he doesn't make big mistakes, his family can continue.

According to Lu Wei's previous introduction, although this layman Zizhu is a first-rank monk, many of his children are not talented. The descendant with the highest cultivation level is the father of this great-granddaughter, and he is only a fifth-rank Confucian cultivator.

At this time, the poetry meeting had not yet started, and the three of He Pingan wandered around the small building, waiting for the poetry meeting to start.

Beside the small building stands a bronze mirror as tall as a person.

He Pingan sensed it for a while, and found that there was a faint wave of mana in it. When he took a closer look, he saw that on the bronze mirror, there was a faint display of the list posted by the Gongyuan at this time.

As long as the list of the Tribute Academy comes out, the news will be known immediately here.

"The list of the test this time seems a bit strange. It has passed the time to release the list, but it has not yet appeared."

Lu Wei glanced at the bronze mirror and said with surprise.

After hearing this, He Pingan asked, "Is this common?"

"Occasionally."

Lu Wei opened his mouth and said: "This kind of situation happened when Emperor Xuanming was in the past, but it was because of cheating in scientific examinations."

"Emperor Xuanming was furious. Dozens of officials involved in scientific examination fraud were beheaded."

"And the list of that year's exam will be directly invalidated, and the exam will be retaken next year."

With a thought in He Ping'an's heart, Xiaoyan's magic number was activated and deduced. After three breaths, he was relieved that it had nothing to do with cheating in the scientific examination.

While the three were chatting, another group of people walked in from the outside.

The leader is a young Confucian scholar with an arrogant face.

He Pingan glanced at him casually, hey, he was actually an old acquaintance, Liu Ding, the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment.

Behind him were several young Confucian scholars, one of them had a slightly swollen face, and it was Dai Xueyi who had just been severely punished by Lu Yong.

The other party had obviously seen the three of He Pingan, and Liu Ding's eyes stayed on He Pingan's body for three breaths before moving away.

When Dai Xueyi saw Lu Yong, the so-called meeting of enemies, he was extremely jealous. There was a sneer on his swollen face, but he didn't come over to say anything cruel, but lowered his head and whispered something in Liu Ding's ear.

"Oh, it's really not a family, don't enter a family."

He Pingan sneered: "Racquet of the same feather."

Following the gazes of He Ping'an and Lu Yong, Lu Wei saw Liu Ding and the others at a glance, and asked, "Brother He has enmity with them?"

"It's not a grudge, it's just a few dogs barking."

He Pingan said lightly, he didn't pay attention to these two people at all.

Otherwise, he would not have called Lu Yong away at the Jiangzhou Guild just now.

After half an hour.
The first-grade Confucianism cultivator, Zizhu Layman, came late and appeared on the small building.

Standing beside him are a woman in a yellow skirt and a young Confucian scholar with an extraordinary bearing.

He Ping'an's heart moved, this Confucian scholar was actually Wang Yifang.

What is he doing here?
"I've kept you all waiting."

Layman Zizhu first spoke enthusiastically, and then said: "The poetry meeting should have been held a long time ago, but it is a pity that it has been delayed until now because the list of the examination has not been released."

This poetry meeting was originally to select Daxuan's young talents, so the poetry meeting is usually held after the announcement of the list.

But the time can't be too far away, because Daxuan has always had the tradition of catching his son-in-law under the list.

Over time, outstanding young talents have been captured, and there is no need to hold this poetry meeting.

"The release of the list has been delayed for so long, could something have happened?"

There was a lot of discussion among the people below, and many Confucian scholars showed concern. After all, if they were disqualified from the exam because of the fraud case, it would be a waste of their time this year.

Layman Zizhu raised his hands and pressed them. Suddenly the audience became quiet. At this moment, he slowly said: "However, I have already got the news that the list will be announced soon. Please wait for a while."

At this time, in the Tribute Court, more than a dozen examiners were surrounding the two articles, arguing red-faced.

At this time, on the big red list, the candidates who are eligible to enter the list have already filled in their names, but only the top two have not been confirmed. ,

"Oh, my lords, it's been an hour since the announcement time, and you haven't discussed it yet."

"Master Shoufu just sent a message, asking why the list hasn't come out yet."

An official who was in charge of publishing the list ran in with a "thump, thud, thump" urging him, his face full of anxiety.

Hearing his urging, the examiners' voices froze for a moment, and the chief assistant urged them to ask, but the top two hadn't been decided yet, how to release the rankings.

"Not so."

One of the examiners said this, which immediately attracted the unanimous approval of all the examiners.

Not long after, outside the tribute courtyard, various guild halls, and inside the Purple Bamboo Garden, there were bursts of shouts: "The list has been released!"

Everyone's eyes turned to the bronze mirror immediately, and the picture on it gradually became clear, revealing a personal name slowly.

"Haha, I hit it!"

A chubby Confucian scholar, seeing a name on the bronze mirror, suddenly smiled, and laughed loudly, with a crazy expression.

Han Chuang has studied hard for more than ten years, only waiting for the title of the gold list.

The same scene was repeated in Xuanyang City at this time.

This slightly plump Confucian scholar was actually quite reserved, and even the one who passed the exam behaved crazily, laughed wildly, and even fainted suddenly, which was even more exaggerated than Fan Jinzhongju in the nine-year compulsory textbook.

But in this Purple Bamboo Garden, either they have a good relationship, or they are people who are already [-] to [-]% sure, so there is no such crazy behavior.

"Haha, I got hit too!"

A maniacal laugh came, He Pingan and others looked around, only to find that it was Dai Xueyi.

"This guy can also hit, it's just unreasonable"

He Pingan shook his head with a smile, but he also knew that sometimes character has little to do with talent, otherwise there would not be so many corrupt officials.

"Miss again"

Lu Yong scanned back and forth on the list several times, but he didn't find his name, and he couldn't help but feel a bit of bitterness in his mouth.

Although he failed the exam several times, this time, he was confident and felt that he would definitely pass the exam, but unfortunately he failed the exam.

"Xiaosheng is ashamed of Mr. He's cultivation."

Lu Yong bowed to He Pingan, who was on the side, and seemed to have lost half of his strength.

He could feel that He Pingan valued him very much, but unfortunately, he let him down again.

"Lu Yong, do you still remember what you said that day?"

"I'm going to make this day"

At this moment, He Ping'an's voice reached his ears, which made him tremble immediately.

"My lord, stop talking."

He Ping'an's words made Lu Yong feel ashamed, his face was burning, especially in front of so many people, he always wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

"Okay, I won't say anymore, take a closer look at the list, is it a bit weird?"

He Ping'an's words immediately woke up Lu Yong. He looked at the list and found a scene that surprised him.
