Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 34
This year's March [-]th is the day when the test results will be released.

The apricot blossoms are cut by the warm wind in March, and thousands of trees bloom overnight.

March in Yangchun is also the season of apricot blossoms.

So Chunwei released the list, also known as the apricot list.

After breakfast, Feng Yibo walked towards the Gongyuan at a leisurely pace.

Along the way, enjoy the apricot blossoms on the street.

Several servants behind him were carrying food boxes.

It looks like a young man who is out for a spring outing.

Looking outside the tribute courtyard, it was already very lively.

Before dawn, countless Juren masters gathered at the door waiting for the Gongyuan to open.

Some held snacks for breakfast in one hand, and rubbed their sleepy eyes with the other hand.

Some chatted excitedly with the students around them, wishing each other to be on the list.

Under the guidance of Gou Zi, the servants escorted Feng Yibo through the crowd and got into his own carriage.

Knowing that today's list will be released, Feng Yibo arranged for someone to drive the car one day in advance.

He took a seat at the gate of the Gongyuan early on.

After sitting firmly, he reached out to take the tea set and food box from the servant.

Set up the tea set and get some refreshments from the food box.

Youzai Youzai, so comfortable.

"Feng Yibo?"

Sipping genuine tea and eating snacks, he suddenly heard someone calling him.

Feng Yibo followed the voice and looked out the car window.

"Brother Boyan? Come up and talk!"

It was actually his classmate in the Imperial College.

This man's name is Zhou Jun, his style name is Bo Yan, and he is thirty-two this year.

When they were in Jinling, the relationship between the two was actually normal.

There is no way, Feng Yibo is too young, and he is somewhat out of tune with other Juren.

So there are many classmates, but few close friends.

But today is different.
When they met in a foreign country, the two felt a little different immediately.

"Yibo, you are very at ease."

Zhou Boyan was also polite, and took the teapot after getting into the car.

He poured himself a cup and downed it in one gulp.

"Gulu!" After a sound, he said, "How did you do in the exam?"

Feng Yibo replied confidently: "It's not bad if you think about it, where's Brother Bo Yan?"

Zhou Boyan chuckled, and said confidently, "I think it should be the same this time."

This is not the first time he has participated in the test.

After failing the previous subject, he and Feng Yibo became classmates.

The two had just chatted for a few words when they heard the sound of a gong.

Juren's lords and servants all rushed forward, and immediately surrounded the gate of the Gongyuan.

There were a few more gongs.

Only one voice said: "I will try to release the rankings! I also ask all the masters to step back and let my adults come out first."

The gentlemen of Juren began to squeeze each other, and quickly gave way to a passage.

Then the gentleman took the ladder and came out.

Then all the officials in the tribute courtyard rushed out to protect an official from the Ministry of Rites.

Soon, the list was posted on the wall.

The gentleman withdrew the ladder and put a few horses in front of him.

A few more guards were left to prevent vandalism.

There is no roll call in the test, so you have to find it yourself.

There are thousands of Juren who came today, plus the accompanying ones, there may be tens of thousands.

At this time, they are all squeezed and squeezed, without any elegance of a gentleman.

Some found their names, and immediately shouted "I got hit" and ran around telling everyone.

Those who couldn't find the name from the beginning to the end were not immediately discouraged, but searched again from the beginning to the end.

After confirmation, he staggered away like a walking corpse that had lost his soul.

Only about 300 people are selected for one subject of the general examination, which is less than one-tenth of the proportion.

Therefore, the lost is actually the vast majority.

Feng Yibo wasn't in a hurry, Gouzi had already squeezed past him.

Although Zhou Boyan looked numb at the crowd, he still cupped his fists and said goodbye: "Thank you Yibo for taking me in, and we'll see you in the palace exam!"

Feng Yibo also cupped his hands and said: "I wish brother Bo Yan the best of luck in the Toad Palace, and see you in the imperial examination!"

Zhou Boyan squeezed into the crowd protected by his servants.

Feng Yibo clicked his tongue when he saw it.

After a stick of incense, the dog suddenly squeezed out of the crowd like a loach.

The moment he saw Feng Yibo, he almost didn't jump up.

Shouted in his mouth: "Congratulations, little master Hexi, you will try for the first place, and you won two yuan in a row!"

"boom!"

The surrounding eyes gathered towards Feng Yibo's carriage.

Everyone wants to see the appearance of this ruthless man who won two dollars in a row!

Feng Yibo was actually quite surprised.

He thought that he could win, but he didn't dare to think that he could win the first place.

The first reaction was: Jia Yucun's thank you gifts are a little short!
"So this is Feng Huiyuan! This is Shanxi Kou Yushang, who is also a tribute this time. Why don't we have a drink together later?"

This is obviously a caring person, and he still remembers Huiyuan's surname.

"Nine cities on the border of Guangxi, and I was lucky enough to win! Are you lucky enough to go with me?"

This person is quick to respond, and will join immediately.

"Under..."

A group of quasi-jinshi responded one after another.

They were at the entrance of the Gongyuan, outside Feng Yibo's carriage, and started to socialize frantically.

Those who fail will automatically lose this qualification.

At this time, a group of people squeezed towards this side, and were stopped by Feng Yibo's servants.

"I won two yuan in a row, I really admire it! But although I can't compare with you, I am also lucky to be on the same list this time, hahahahaha!"

"Brother Boyan come up!"

The person who came was Zhou Jun.

He just squeezed past and started looking from the back of the list.

When I found my name, I was really overjoyed.

After hanging for a month, my heart finally came to rest.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he turned around and started looking for Feng Yuan's name.

As a result, it is natural to find the head from the tail.

Just found it at the No.1 position!
Feng Yuan, Jiangning County, Yingtian Prefecture, Jiangnan
Zhou Jun confirmed it several times.

Good guy!
It was actually two yuan in a row.

Zhou Jun, who was about to leave, turned his eyes and squeezed back.

Seeing that Feng Yibo was already surrounded by everyone, he knew he was right to come back.

Surrounded by servants, he finally got into the carriage.

"Congratulations, brother Boyan!"

Feng Yibo bowed his hands to him first, and then said to the people outside the car:
"I'm really sorry that everyone was in the same year. I already have an appointment today. Let's meet again in the palace exam!"

After talking, the dog started to drive.

Kou Yushang, the one who invited him first, heard the words, and immediately said loudly:

"That being the case, let's have another drink at the Enrong Banquet!"

The Enrong Banquet is specially set up by the Ministry of Rites for entertaining new scholars.

It originated from the wedding banquet in Tang Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, it was once held in Qionglin Garden.

So it is also called Qionglin Banquet.

"That's right! Feng Huiyuan is not going to refuse when he arrives at the Qionglin Banquet!"

"exactly!"

"Feng Huiyuan won't go, why don't we go have a drink together?"

"..."

Feng Yibo's carriage drove out slowly, and the servants started a new round of socializing.

Several people have been watching this side coldly from a distance.

One of them who landed couldn't help but feel strange.

"I didn't expect Huiyuan to be such a brat!"

The other one, who was frowning, also said bitterly: "I heard that he won two yuan in a row!"

The two looked at each other, feeling evil in their hearts.

One said: "It's really disgusting! Brother Haoran is the one who deserves to win two yuan in a row!"

The other echoed: "Brother Haoran will definitely be able to win the victory after the palace examination, but it's a pity that the good story of Sanyuan and the first place has not been completed."

Beside the two of them was a handsome young man in his thirties, who smiled faintly upon hearing this.

"Farewell first."

The man turned around and left after speaking, as if avoiding the plague.

The remaining two were suddenly angry, thinking that this person would not recognize him if he was hit by a Gongshi.

Unexpectedly, the man had just walked a few steps, then turned around and said:
"The ability to be jealous and the loss of luck are not the actions of a gentleman, and the two of you will never look for me again."
