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

Chapter 20
And those rich people are waiting for each other, they are ready to make a move at any time.

As long as the name of a child from a poor family appears on the list, they will not hesitate to take the child from a poor family who is on the list home to marry their daughter.

Under the eyes of everyone, the three officials posted the list in their hands on the wall, and the candidates stared at the list on the wall one by one, trying to find their names.

There are a total of 72 people on the list.

You must know that there were 72 candidates in the examination that day, but now only [-] are admitted, which shows that the admission rate is low.

Occasionally, a candidate in the crowd found his name on the list, which caused a burst of cheers.

The eyes of those rich people immediately looked in the direction of cheering. If the person on the list was dressed in fine clothes, then they would look for the next target.

If they were dressed in ordinary and shabby clothes, they rushed forward, trying to drag the examinee into their carriage.

Their homes are all ready, just waiting for the rich men to bring a poor candidate who is on the list back to marry their little daughter.

But there are very few children from poor families who are famous on the list, and most of them are children from those aristocratic families.

Those children from poor families on the list are extremely proud, they don't even bother to marry the daughters of merchants.

Therefore, there are few rich men who can catch their son-in-law.

Among the crowd, Si Mubai was also looking for names on the list.

But what he was looking for was not his own name, but Jiang Zhao's.

Si Mubai's eyes skipped over the list, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Jiang Zhao's name really appeared at the top of the list.

In this way, saving Jiang Zhao is as easy as pie.

However, not only Si Mubai saw Jiang Zhao's name, but also the rich men.

At this time, they were all looking for Jiang Zhao's figure, and wanted to take her back and take her back as their son-in-law.

"Then Jiang Zhao is just a child from a poor family, and he is actually the top of the list in this test?"

"Although he is a child of a poor family, the articles he wrote are unique in the world. The article "Born in Sorrow and Died in Peace" became famous in the capital, and once attracted visions from heaven and earth, and was recognized by heaven and earth."

"Since ancient times, there have been only a handful of poor disciples who have won the first place in the general examination. This Jiang Zhao can be said to have a bright future in the future."

"I heard that Jiang Zhaosheng is a good-looking talent. It just so happens that my daughter is also beautiful. I think Jiang Zhao and my daughter must be a good match."

"Hey, when did you become so shameless, then Jiang Zhao and my little girl are a good match."

……

Everyone was thinking in their hearts how to abduct Jiang Zhao and make him his son-in-law.

But dozens of pairs of eyes swept over the crowd, but they didn't find who Jiang Zhao was.

If it was the past, even the children of aristocratic families would be ecstatic when they learned that they were the first in the competition.

But they didn't find anyone who admitted Jiang Zhao, who was the top of the test list.

At this moment, a classmate next to Si Mubai patted Si Mubai's shoulder in surprise and said loudly.

"Brother Mubai, look, isn't your name third on the list?"

Si Mubai looked in the direction of that classmate's finger, and the No.3 name on the list was really his name.

Those Yuanwailang looked at Si Mubai, dressed in white, like an exiled immortal falling into the mortal world, at first glance he was not a son of a poor family, so he gave up the idea of ​​recruiting him as his son-in-law.

But if you think about it, you must know that there are very few children from poor families on the list in previous years.

In everyone's mind, it is tacitly agreed that children from poor families are inferior to children from aristocratic families.

After all, the children of the aristocratic family have been taught by famous teachers since they were young, so they don't need to be bothered by trivial matters in life, let alone worry about buying books and tuition fees.

Therefore, the proportion of the list between the two is often very different.

The top of this year's list is a child from a poor family, which is already extremely surprising.

If another kid from a humble family appeared in the top three, everyone might not be as simple as being surprised.

After reading the list, the crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only a few carriages parked around the list.

One of them was the carriage of Duke Zhen's mansion.

Jing Huarong was sitting in the carriage, listening to the list results reported to him by the servant, his fists clenched tightly.

He is ranked No.4 on the list.

The topic of this test is too biased, he didn't show his full strength, otherwise how could he be No.4, Jing Huarong thought in his heart.

At the same time, his heart became more determined, and he must stop Jiang Zhao from participating in the palace examination. Jiang Zhao felt too threatening to him.

If it wasn't for Jiang Zhao this time, how could he miss the top three?
Going back this time, I have to put more pressure on Chen Lianghan to exile Jiang Zhao as soon as possible.

As for Si Mubai, after seeing that Jiang Zhao was the candidate for this meeting, he went back to Nanli Inn, waiting for someone from the official department to give him a golden flower post.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, there was a sound of drumming outside Nanli Inn.

Everyone in the inn was attracted by the sound.

Most of the people living in this inn are the candidates for this exam. Hearing the sound of drums, he also guessed that someone had won the gold list.

After all, only the top three are qualified to allow the officials to personally send golden flower posts.

They stared enviously at the golden flower post in the hands of officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, thinking in their hearts, how great it would be if the golden flower post was for themselves.

When officials from the Ministry of Officials entered the inn, an official shouted loudly, "Where is Si Mubai?"

Si Mubai had been waiting in the lobby of the inn early, but now seeing his name being called, he stood up and said, "Birth to Si Mubai late."

The originally serious official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs immediately put on a smile, and handed the golden flower post to Si Mubai with both hands.

And said: "Congratulations, Mr. Si Xiaolang."

Si Mubai naturally took it with both hands: "Thank you, my lord."

The classmates who are familiar with him around him all sent their blessings.

"Congratulations, Brother Mu Bai."

"Brother Mubai was named on the gold list in the year of weak crown. He is really a great talent. The future will definitely be limitless!"

"Brother Mu Bai is a great talent."

"Brother Mu Bai won the gold list today, don't forget that we are classmates in the future."

……

Among these congratulations, there is sincerity, envy, jealousy, and flattery.

But facing their congratulations, Si Mubai remained calm and did not get carried away.

Instead, they bowed their hands in return one by one.

After delivering Si Mubai's golden post, the official from the Ministry of Officials continued to shout, "Where is Jiang Zhao?"

"Where is Jiang Zhao?"

Called twice, but no one answered.

The officials of the Ministry of Officials were a little puzzled, as if the leader of the list was not there when the list was released this morning.

Many people are extremely regretful that they have not seen the top of the test, especially those rich.

Just when the official from the official department was about to continue shouting, Si Mubai stepped forward and said, "My lord, Brother Jiang Zhao is not here."

"Oh, then do you know where he is?" the official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs asked.

Si Mubai pretended to hesitate and said, "This..."

At this time, an old man with extraordinary bearing came out of the ceremony team. Some examinees who walked slowly that day recognized that this person was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Gu Hongyuan, who brought the official seal to carry Jiang Zhao's article that day.
