Chapter 1038 Palace Examination
Yangzhou, Shengfu.

The servant who came back to deliver the message shouted to come in.

"My uncle won the first place in the provincial examination! My uncle won the first place in the provincial examination!"

With this shout, the Sheng Mansion became lively, and a large number of people came out of the backyard.

Wang walked in a hurry and asked eagerly: "But did you really win the first prize?"

"Madam, how can a villain dare to tell lies about such a big matter? My uncle is very prestigious in Bianjing. He lived with Fan Chunren and Feng Jing in the Sheng family residence. As a result, my uncle won the first place and Feng Jing came second. Fan Chunren was third. When I took the letter and left Beijing, the dignitaries from Beijing came to invite my uncle and his family to the banquet. As a result, my uncle and his family refused. "

This servant followed Sheng Changbai and lived very comfortably with his uncle in Beijing, so when he mentioned it, he looked very proud, as if he had rejected him.

Wang then asked: "What did my uncle say?"

"The villain has no way of knowing, but he came back specifically to deliver a letter. The uncle must have made it clear in the letter. This is for the official, and this is for the eldest girl. This is a letter written by the young master, but the young master I wrote a letter to the eldest lady.”

The servant took out a pile of letters from his pocket. Before Wang could take them, Hua Lan took them first. She rummaged through it quickly and found the letters written to her by Wang Yan and Chang Bai. Then she put the rest of the letters into Wang's hands, smiled at her mother, turned around and left as if she was very calm.

No one laughed at her when she was like this, after all, she was used to it. Hualan is usually very stable, but whenever Wang Yan is involved, she is as excited as a little girl.

Wang glanced at her eldest daughter angrily, turned around and went back, instructing the maid beside her: "Prepare wine and food for the evening. The officials must have some to drink when they return from the office."

"Yes, madam." The female maid responded and glanced at the little girl beside her, who then ran away...

At the same time, the people Wang Yan sent back to deliver the letter also asked for help and began to deliver letters to the scholars of various families in the city. Following their movements, Yangzhou City became lively.

The scholars told each other the news, and of course also told the elders at home. They were walking outside, and the news naturally spread to the people. So in just over half a day, the people in Yangzhou City actually knew that Wang Yan would win the first prize in the competition and would soon become an official.

Wang Yan's reputation in Yangzhou is quite high, not only because of his talent and fame, but also because of the many things he did that made him angry and other deeds.

After all, no matter how awesome he is, he is mainly more influential with the ruling class. For the common people who are looking for a living, there is only one story and the name of a genius to let the common people know who he is.

But it was different in Yangzhou. The people in Yangzhou respected Wang Yan very much. Because Wang Yan performed many actions that benefited the people, he was really generous and generous.

After a year, the people of Wangjiazhuang have completely changed. Every household has built a new big house, fully furnished, with neat yards, clean toilets, pig pens, chicken coops, etc. Employment is also available in the village. If you perform well, you can go out to work as a caravan, or go to other cities to run industries and be a shopkeeper. Every household has become a registered household.

They didn't even plant the land anymore, so they all found tenants outside and moved into the village. Of course, the tenants were all people who had been inspected by Wang Fuli, and the whole family settled in Wangjiazhuang.

In addition to this, because people's conditions are better, it is easier to find a wife, and the newly born population, the number of people in Wangjiazhuang has expanded from 242 to more than 500 in the past year. The original villagers worked in factories in the village or worked for Wang Yan outside. The newcomer was responsible for farming, but was also given pigs, chickens, ducks and geese.

And in order to eliminate hidden dangers and avoid being criticized in the future, there are no hidden households in Wangjiazhuang. They all pay taxes in full and can afford it. The people in the village didn't have any objections. After all, Wang Yan took the lead in paying taxes, and their good life was also driven by Wang Yan. Without Wang Yan, they would have to mortgage some land to Wang Yan every year to pay taxes. Not as rich as now.

The great changes in Wangjiazhuang have been witnessed by people in Yangzhou City and surrounding villages, and they have become the envy of most people. This is also the reason why Wangjiazhuang has imported children. After all, if you have money, girls from other families will be willing to marry. No one wants to suffer hardship if they can live a good life. The new wives from Wangjiazhuang are among the top girls in the surrounding areas.

This is certainly not the reason for Wang Yan's reputation explosion. If Wangjiazhuang is just wealthy, it has nothing to do with them, and it can't be said to have much influence.

The main reason is that Wang Yan will send the piglets bred from Wangjiazhuang to surrounding villages in the new year, and the hatched chickens, ducks and geese will do the same. Just like Wangjiazhuang before, these seedlings are provided free of charge, and people are responsible for raising them, and part of the final profit is also given to them. Chickens, ducks and geese only need some seedlings.

Wang Yan even found someone to become a veterinarian, who studied how to breed animals scientifically, solved the problems of these animals, and helped people from all over the country to guide the breeding. Wang Yan paid for them.

This is a very popular move because it gives people hope. Since the neighboring villages have received benefits, will other villages also receive this help in the coming year?
More importantly, Wang Yan funded the construction of several schools in the surrounding areas, hired teachers, and subsidized the education of those children, giving them a chance to progress. Of course, this is very win-win. It doesn’t matter whether you are an official or not. Just knowing the words will make your job better than others. If you can write and calculate, you will almost become a master and earn a lot of dignity. What's more, there is still a way to enter the imperial examination.

In addition, the employees of Wang Yan's industry also began to choose from the surrounding men, which further bound the two parties.

The herbal medicine shop in Yangzhou City also began to expand. Wang Yan recruited many doctors to sit in the hall, started some professional research, and began to consciously train Wen Po to deliver babies. And he will also do some good deeds, that is, if he meets someone's child or strong laborer who can be cured, but it is relatively expensive, he will also lend a helping hand.

In the past period of time, we have saved a lot of people. This is a serious act of kindness. Even if many people are rejected, people can't help but have some hope.

All things considered, Wang Yan has a strong influence on everything in Yangzhou.

So the news that he won the provincial examination spread like the wind.

Sheng Hong left the yamen amidst compliments and returned home.

"Madam, hurry up and prepare some food and drinks with me. Ziyan won the first prize in the provincial examination, and his future is boundless. I'm glad and congratulated." As soon as they entered Wang's courtyard, Sheng Hong spoke loudly.

Mrs. Wang glanced at the female envoy next to her, then stepped forward to help undress her, and said with a smile: "I knew the officials wanted to have wine, so I had already prepared it for you."

"Madam, you know me." Sheng Hong patted Wang's hand and said with a look of relief, "Zi Yan is amazing, Hua Lan has really found a good husband."

"What a good husband? Why don't you also go to hook up the house?"

"Then how can it be the same? With Zi Yan's talent, those famous courtesans are willing to work with him even if they give him money. Besides, Zi Yan has only been there a few times. He is always invited by others and can't refuse. . A few details are innocuous. From now on, Hua'er will just find two concubines for him. Hey, don't glare at him. You know how many high-ranking ladies would love to see Ziyan's reputation. Marry him?
Zi Yan was so famous that a single calligraphy painting could be sold for one hundred thousand guan. He also founded a sect and was truly an outstanding person. He was the leader in both the Interpretation Examination and the Provincial Examination, and with such a reputation, if my predictions are correct, as long as Ziyan performs normally, he will definitely be the number one scholar in this subject. I have been in officialdom for ten years, but I am only a general judge in one state. When Ziyan becomes an official, it will be from this general judgment. Within three years, his position will be higher than mine. Ziyan was only twenty-two years old at that time. "

Sheng Hong couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, and there was a lot of satisfaction in his emotion.

That was his son-in-law, and his background was really clean. He had no parents, relatives or friends. In terms of closeness, Wang Yan was really the closest to their Sheng family. He is very capable of making money, and the perfume shop can be said to be making money every day, but within a year, its strength has more than doubled. As for his ability as an official, my beloved son-in-law established a family in his teens and even dared to take people out to wield knives. Such people are ruthless people who can do important things as officials. Sheng Hong felt ashamed of himself.

What's more, Wang Yan's teacher was Ouyang Xiu, who was close to Bao Zheng in Beijing, and even had a close friendship with Fan Zhongyan's son Fan Chunren. Just these three people, followed by a large number of people, are extremely rich in political resources. Another thing is that Wang Yan founded a sect. This is really awesome. In the future, he will definitely have countless disciples and disciples, so he will be all over the world. An absolute future boss.

Ms. Wang shook her head. She also admitted that Wang Yan was really awesome and she was wrong at first.

She said: "Changbai and your good son-in-law both wrote letters. Changbai said in the letter to me that within half an hour after the results were released, someone posted a message inviting them to the banquet, and they were all rejected. He said yes. He saw that other families wanted to marry him and also wanted to find ways to build his own perfume shop. "

"Zi Yan is the most sensible person. It's worthy of my regard for him." Sheng Hong nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Hua Lan Dian Dian trotted in. Without saying a word, she diligently poured tea for her biological father.

Sheng Hong shook his head helplessly, sat at the table, opened the letter and read it.

"Ziyan said that after the imperial examination, he will get married when he comes back, so let us make arrangements. Also, he has no parents or friends at home, he comes from a small family, and he doesn't understand many rules. He just needs our help. Madam, can you help with the arrangements?"

Wang glanced at Hua Lan and nodded with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing to do. I just want to inform my close relatives and friends. His family's wedding wine is definitely not bad, and the main thing is our family. He is a person who does things properly and wants to Otherwise, there’s no point asking us.”

"As long as Madam understands, you can make arrangements and I won't interfere."

"Okay, then I'll check the date tomorrow. I think I'll be back at the end of next month. I'll have a good night's rest soon, right, Hua'er?"

"Mother~"

"Looking at your worthless look, I'm telling you, if you get angry at Wang Yan in the future, don't go home and cry to me."

"He's not that kind of person." Hua Lan said firmly.

"Okay, okay, now that I heard the right words, you should feel at ease. Don't hang around in front of my eyes. I'll get annoyed when I see you." Wang waved her hands with a look of disgust.

Hua Lan didn't take it seriously, poured another cup of tea for Sheng Hong, and then ran out briskly.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye, and seeing that they are finally married, she feels that her life is becoming more and more difficult, always slow...

Zhao Yunrang was an unexpected meeting, a small episode in life. That's a bit too high-end for Wang Yan now and has nothing to do with him. The two had a good chat. Wang Yan received high praise from Zhao Yunrang, who kept telling him that he was shameless and could accomplish things. Wang Yan accepted it happily.

This old boy was really rude. Hearing that Wang Yan's cooking here was better than Fan Lou's, he sent Fan Lou's cook to the Sheng family residence to learn on the same day. After five days of learning, Fan Lou raised the price. When it comes to black-heartedness, Zhao Yunrang is absolutely right.

However, Fan Lou is actually mainly engaged in the prostitution business, which is the bulk of the revenue. But with such a great reputation, it cannot be justified by its bad food. Therefore, Fan Lou's food is really better than other high-end clubs in Bianjing. It has also been carefully managing the food and wine. It is an all-round improvement and a serious benchmark for Song Dynasty clubs.

After that, Wang Yan's life was uneventful and he lived in seclusion. Do not accept any invitations from outside. However, it is worth mentioning that the Wang family and Kang family in the capital also sent him messages and invited him to dinner.

It's Wang Ruofu's natal family and her sister Aunt Kang's husband's family in the original drama. However, Wang Yan refused and did not attend the banquet.

It's interesting to say that he has been in Beijing for half a year and has made a lot of noise. Before this, neither of these two families had contacted him, not even intending to make a fuss. Now that I have won the first prize in the provincial examination, I am getting closer...

That's it, until the palace examination.

This was not the first time for Wang Yan to enter the imperial city of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was not surprising. Gorgeous enough, but not grand enough, not mighty enough. In fact, even if it was unexpected, he would not feel anything special.

After all, when he was the emperor, the Imperial City was truly majestic. From the time he ascended the throne to the time he left, the construction of the Imperial City never stopped. That is what is truly called the Imperial Building Complex.

On the other hand, the more than 200 other prospective Jinshi who passed the provincial examination all looked fresh. The same was true for Fan Chunren and Feng Jing. Although they didn't say a word, their eyes looked around.

There is no doubt that they all came to participate in the imperial examination, the last stage of the imperial examination.

Compared with the state examination and provincial examination, the palace examination is very respectable. The palace examination, as the name suggests, takes place in the palace, rather than in a small room like the previous two-level examinations.

The place where the palace examination was held was Chongzheng Hall, which was the main hall of the palace. This place used to be called Jiangwu Hall, but was later renamed this by the God of Cars. It is a place where large events are held, such as some ceremonial ceremonies, or large court gatherings, etc.

The space here is large and sheltered, the earth dragons are burning vigorously, and the people are very warm. The floors are shiny and the temperature is just right to the touch.

Wang Yan's seat was at the front, with a low table and a futon. He sat cross-legged and quietly packed up the things he had brought.

The palace examination lasted only one day, and there were only a few subjects, including poetry, poetry, and essays. So this time he didn't bring a lot of messy things, only stationery and some snacks.

The difference in the palace examination is that someone pours tea. Thanks to the fried tea he made in advance, making tea is much more convenient. So there was a little eunuch in the room, carrying a big teapot, walking around to see who waved, and then went over to pour tea, and the service was very good.

No one spoke in the main hall, but it was not quiet either. They were all tinkering with things, or looking at the main hall and making little exclamations of surprise. They were all country bumpkins who came to the city. It was the first time they came to the center of the Song Dynasty, and they really opened their eyes.

Suddenly, a young eunuch hurriedly walked into the hall. As he arrived, the old eunuch who had been standing not far in front of Wang Yan spoke loudly: "Quiet! Get up!"

Before the exam, someone taught me etiquette.

So just after the old eunuch finished speaking, all the scholars in the room got up.

Within two minutes, a bunch of old men and middle-aged people walked in...

I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly, recommend and read quietly for their strong support!
