prosperous age

Chapter 150 Chapter 149

Wei Guangde directly raised the price of the happy money reward this time, but there is no way, everyone is saving face.

In the process of waiting for the good news, some people continued to drive their servants or go back to their own house, and what they did was self-evident.

Ten taels of silver, who has nothing to do with such a heavy bag dangling around.

A bank note is convenient, but that piece of paper is not as safe as cash.

There are already bank notes these days, but they are not popular, and many people can't trust them. It's not that they can't trust them, they just don't like to use them.

I don't know how many teams have announced the good news. At this time, the mood of the people in the lobby has changed from the initial expectation to the frenzy, and now it is extremely freezing.

Although no one is going to calculate how much has passed, but I may not have a chance.

If you want to win Jieyuan, it can only be in a dream.

In fact, although many scholars are not forgiving, they know their own affairs, and no one would think that they can get the top few in the provincial examination, let alone the top of the list.

Now that there are so many people in the past, it seems that some have failed the ranking.

Among the crowd, the most lonely one was the second place in the sub-ranking of the last township examination - Lao Kan Lao Xianggong.

Last time I didn't care about the sub list, I always felt that I could do it, Xie Yuan didn't think much about it, it would be good to be at the bottom of the list.

However, by now, it is estimated that around [-] people have already registered.

Lao Kan was in his heart at this time, and he already had the consciousness of failing the ranking, and he would fight again in Nanchang City three years later.

At this time, another team of announcing officials came, but no one in the inn cared.

For the innkeeper, it is normal for candidates from Jiujiang Prefecture to fail Ji'an or Fuzhou.

Opening the door to do business, although I hope that all the customers in my store can be on the list, I can have a good fortune, but there is no way, if people come to book a room, I can't just accept candidates from Ji'an and Fuzhou, right? to do.

The location of my shop is good, close to the Nanchang Gongyuan, so I don't have to worry about customers.

The storekeeper watched coldly. Of course, most of his attention was on those talents who were not on the list. It was also very interesting to watch their emotions.

As the team of officials stopped in front of the inn, they walked directly into the door of the inn after a while. A group of scholars who had been mourned before were instantly revived with blood, and they all eagerly stared at the big red news in the hands of the officials.

Who is this time?

will it be me?

Countless thoughts floated back and forth in the scholar's heart and mind.

"Success in the township examination, congratulations to Lord Lao Kanlao of Dehua County, Jiujiang Prefecture, No. 20 on the top three in Yimao Township Examination of High School."

Lao Kan is on the list. Although the ranking is not in the top ten, it is not low.

Just as Wei Guangde wanted to stand up and salute, and congratulated him by the way, he heard a thunderous sound in his ears.

"reward."

Lao Kan seemed to put all his strength into this shout. At this moment, he was not fighting alone, as if his ancestors were all attached to him.

Wei Guangde could understand the significance of Lao Kan being on the list.

The Lao family is rich, at least among the people in this house, they are considered upper-middle.

However, this family is a businessman, and the family has no official status to rely on.

Lao Kan seems to want to break the shackles of their family, which means they are going to nirvana and become a phoenix.

After the servants handed out the happy money, they took the happy news and handed it to Lao Kan. Lao Kan didn't open the happy news directly like Wei Guangde and Shen Liangdong to take a look. The good news, the eyes are already full of tears.

Juren, considered to have entered the gentry class, is one of the rulers of the Ming Dynasty. Although it is only the lowest level, but what he wants can be done step by step?
Lao Kan is only in his 20s, and he still has plenty of time to take the exam and become a real official.

In the room, no one could understand the pressure on him.

It is true that the family has money, but for the sake of the family, a large part of the family's income must be donated every year. Even if the family loses money in business, this part of filial piety is indispensable.

Hugging the buddha's feet temporarily, hehe, that's such a good thing.

In the past few years, there have been Japanese pirates in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the family's business has been very difficult.

Although he usually looks like a son-in-law in front of outsiders, it's bitter, and he can only hold it in his heart.

Now, finally, there is an explanation.

Lao Kan wiped away his tears with his sleeve, then got up and bowed.
After that, the inn never had an announcing official come in.

The results of the red list of the Yimao Township Examination in the 34th year of Jiajing have been issued. All candidates who did not get the good news can only take the exam three years later.

The candidates who received the good news are preparing to go to the Minglun Hall of Nanchang Gongyuan tomorrow to participate in the Luming Banquet.

The good news is over. Some of the examinees went back to their room to lick their wounds, and some went to the gate of Nanchang Gongyuan together. They wanted to see the list of the local examination. If a friend made the list, they had to go there no matter what. Celebrate.

Lao Kan, Shen Liangdong, and Wei Guangde are no exception. They all have to go to the list to identify the same year of the township examination, because the list will not only mark the list of all the township examinations, but also mark who their room teachers are. Thank you for the ceremony, this can't be mistaken.

As an existence at the bottom of the list, Wei Guangde still has a low sense of existence among the people of the same age, that is, because of his young age, no one dares to underestimate him.

Boxing is afraid of the young, in fact, the imperial examination is the same.

The younger the Juren, the brighter the future.

If you are in your 30s, how many trials can you take?
Juren in Jiangxi is not bad, at least there is a waterway to go directly to the capital to participate in the examination.

Like Juren in the southwest region, in fact, many of them have not even taken part in the exam after they passed the exam.

The next day, after Wei Guangde washed up, he put on a brand-new uniform for the birth staff, and with the gift Zhang Ji had prepared, he met Lao Kan and Shen Liangdong, and the three of them went to the Gongyuan together.

When the three of them walked out of the courtyard, countless envious and jealous eyes looked at them from the windows and doors behind them.

Most of the failed candidates will leave Nanchang City today, and only a few will stay for a while.

Cross the Zhuangyuan Bridge, walk through Gongyuan Street, and arrive at Nanchang Gongyuan. After all the candidates on the list have arrived, under the leadership of the provincial officials and examiners, all the candidates consciously lined up in two rows according to the results of the provincial examination. The adults went to the Confucius Temple next to the Gongyuan.

Afterwards, they will return to the Minglun Hall of the Gongyuan to attend the Luming Banquet. At that time, Jiangxi Cheng will announce that the Political Envoy Division will participate in politics and councils.

The rural examination is the highest level examination at the provincial level, and it can only be the examination in the capital, so it is naturally a major event for the local government, and the officials of the third local department will naturally not miss the appointment.

It's just that in previous years, the commander of the capital only sent a representative to deal with it, and the sense of presence was very low, but this time, the commander of the capital is going to come in person.

There were many military Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty, but the region was very obvious, that is, the south was mainly composed of civilian Jinshi, and very few military Jinshi. In stark contrast, most of the military Jinshi came from the North.

Correspondingly, it also shows that there are very few military candidates in the South.

Because of Wei Guangde's winning the election, the commander of the capital decided to attend the banquet in person.
