The sturdy farmer's wife: the prince's favorite concubine

Chapter 275

In the afternoon at the end of summer, the air lingered around the students with a hot smell. Lin Zhichuan squeezed in the crowd, watching the students coming and going, feeling a little dazed in his heart. He knew that he could not be the number one scholar, but He also thought that in high school, when he was named on the gold list, it was the happiest time in his life.

Seeing those students with complex expressions crowded to the front of the imperial list, Lin Zhichuan could only move forward little by little.

Suddenly a familiar voice sounded in his ear.

"I hit it, I hit it."

Lin Zhichuan looked up and saw Du Zishu standing in front of the imperial list, his face flushed with excitement, he didn't expect him to be hit. Lin Zhichuan looked around and saw Du Zishu's name on the imperial list, but although he His name was on the list, but he was born with Jinshi, neither in the top three nor in the top ten.

The top three are the number one scholar, the second place, and Tanhua, the next ten are awarded Jinshi, and the next thirty are born with Jinshi. Du Zishu happened to be born with Jinshi.

Don't underestimate the word 'same', Jinshi's background can be directly appointed as an official, of course, the top three are more likely to get a high position, and Jinshi's birth can usually get a seventh-rank sesame official.

Although some people are born as Jinshi, they can be promoted again and again after a few years, but some people are only seven-rank sesame officials all their lives. In the end, the imperial court let him live for the rest of his life. If it is good, he will be given a house. Letting you take the initiative to resign from your old age and return to your hometown is just a few hundred taels of silver, which means you have spent your life.

But even so, the top three and top ten Jinshi are pretty good. The worst thing is that they were born with the same Jinshi. Although this type of people can also hold an official position in the court, they have no official title. An official's deputy.

For example, the county magistrate in the county government office is similar to the secretary of the county magistrate. Du Zishu is most likely to be appointed to such a role. Although it is not impossible to become a person with an official position, but he was born with a Jinshi. Shorter than others.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhichuan looked forward again, but he didn't expect to see his name among the top ten Jinshi, a big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and then he looked at Yang Yuanqing, standing under the imperial list, It turned out that he was a bit lonely. It turned out that he failed the ranking. If he failed this time, he could only wait three years later.

Back at the inn where he was staying, the shopkeeper had prepared a banquet for Lin Zhichuan.

"Lin Xianggong, you are really good at writing. It seems that it is not difficult to become an official and a noble. You are a master of Jinshi who only has ten this year. You live in our small shop. We are going to be rich. This is my little idea." , Congratulate Mr. Lin."

Lin Zhichuan nodded.

"Thank you, shopkeeper, for your kindness. This time I came to Beijing thanks to your care. This is a small matter of mine. Please be sure to have your subordinates."

After Lin Zhichuan said that, he asked Shutong to hand over a ten tael ingot, and the shopkeeper went happily, saying that Lin Zhichuan was generous, that this Jinshi master was open-minded.

Yang Yuanqing walked around a few times, hesitating whether to come to congratulate Lin Zhichuan, and then knocked on the door after thinking that he was from the same town after all.

"Is Brother Shichuan here?"

Lin Zhichuan asked Shutong to open the door, and when he saw it was Yang Yuanqing, he stood up and said with a smile.

"So it's Yuan Qing, come in and sit down."

Yang Yuanqing was a little embarrassed standing outside the door.

"I still won't come. If I come in, people will definitely say that I am a follower. I just thought that we are from the same town or neighbors. We grew up together, so I came here to congratulate you and ask you for advice." The method of review, I hope that in three years, I can also be named on the gold list like Brother Zhichuan."

Lin Zhichuan's impression of Yang Yuanqing was not bad. They played together when they were young, and they were considered friends. Yang Yuanqing was not discouraged or jealous of him when he landed. He is willing to accept people.

"Where is it, we are friends who grew up together, and we are neighbors. If anyone wants to make irresponsible remarks, let them talk. You just come in. I am worried that no one will drink with me. It just so happens that you are here. Get drunk, don't feel bad, I will tell you my method of review, I hope you can also get a gold medal in the next subject."

Yang Yuanqing sighed, with a smile in the corner of his eyes.

"After hearing what you said, I was relieved. Well, I didn't pass the exam anyway. Just eat and drink and go home and start again. Brother Zhichuan, are you okay on the road, or let's go back to our hometown together. It just happened to be the same way. Take a look at the scenery and go back."

Lin Zhichuan nodded.

"That's good. Although I'm not the best on the list this time, I think that the letter of appointment will come in two days. Let's see what kind of official position I can get. No matter what, it's good for my family." Confessed."

The two were talking, when suddenly someone knocked on the door again. After the book boy opened the door, he saw Du Zishu standing at the door.

"Yo, they're all here, come, come, let's have a drink, it's not in vain for me, Du Zishu, to bear the humiliation, and I was admitted, hahaha, God help me, I can finally get rid of my shame when I go back this time, I have to work hard Take a breath."

Lin Zhichuan frowned, he didn't like this Du Zishu.

"Du Zishu, hurry up and leave, we don't welcome you here."

Yang Yuanqing said impatiently.

"I'm not welcome? What kind of bastard are you? A person who failed the exam, do you have the nerve to call me? I'm not afraid to tell you that when I go back this time, I will clean up that cousin of yours. Isn't she not going to marry me?" ? I have to marry her back and torture her for the rest of my life, hahaha... I, Du Zishu, will also have a proud day, it's really satisfying..."

Lin Zhichuan knew that he was drunk as soon as he heard it, but when he heard Yang Yuanqing's cousin in his mouth, Lin Zhichuan couldn't help getting angry, and turned his head to look at the book boy.

"Kick him out, spouting shit is an insult to gentleness."

After the book boy drove him away according to his words, Lin Zhichuan sat down to talk to Yang Yuanqing.

"Brother Yuan Qing, I want to ask you, what do you think of your cousin Yuan Xiang?"

Yang Yuanqing thought about it.

"She's outspoken and pungent, and she has a sharp temper, but she's a bit tough, but she's a good girl."

Lin Zhichuan smiled shyly.

"I want to go back and propose marriage to her, and I don't know if my current status is worthy of her."

Yang Yuanqing's face brightened, if Lin Zhichuan married Yang Yuanxiang, then he would be Lin Zhichuan's cousin, and Lin Zhichuan was his cousin's husband, so it would be difficult for him not to go to high school next year if he was related.

"But she seems to be engaged. Brother Zhichuan, is there anything I can do?"

Lin Zhichuan smiled slightly, showing a confident expression.

"Of course I have a way. As long as Xiang'er is willing, it can be done."
