Feudal scholar-bureaucrats reborn: marrying a husband and marrying a virtuous

After the exam, the days of waiting for the release of the rankings were still not easy, but fortunately, it didn't take long.

The list was posted at the entrance of the Ministry of Rites. If it used to be, the gate of the Ministry of Rites must have been crowded with people. But since the guild hall was built, the provincial candidates did not go to the Ministry of Rites to read the list, but waited for the results in the guild hall.

At this time, the lobby and yard of the front yard of the Zhejiang Guild Hall were already full of people. Apart from the hesitant scholars who pretended to be calm and maintained their demeanor despite being nervous to death, there were also many business travelers and tourists from Zhejiang. Congratulate the upstart.

When the entire clubhouse was almost overwhelmed by nervous emotions, firecrackers sounded one after another outside the clubhouse, and finally someone shouted: "Come, come, finally come."

Lin Fangxu and the other five, as the top of the list, were naturally courted by everyone to sit in the lobby and wait. However, at this time, Lin Fangxu and the others discovered that there was already a sea of ​​people outside the yard, and it was impossible to squeeze out to have a look, so they simply squeezed in Looking out of the window.

I saw the same township standing out beaming, blushing and responding to the congratulations of the same year around him. Lin Fangxu saw that the new Jinshi had white strands hidden in his hair, and asked in a low voice: "Who is this? I don't seem to have seen it before. Born very well."

"My name is Pan Miao, from Jiaxing. I have taken the exam four times before, and I have been relatively low-key." Shen Mao whispered next to me: "This time I won the 220th place, which is really gratifying." After the palace exam, the ranking may vary. Changes, but generally people will not be eliminated, so taking the middle tribute at this time is basically equivalent to Jinshi.

Fireworks and firecrackers have been prepared in the yard long ago, and they will be lit as soon as someone comes to announce the good news. Therefore, if there is a sound of firecrackers in any hall, it means that someone has won a Jinshi; Many scholars were selected in this trial.

Pan Miao seemed to be the beginning, and the following wave of good news came one after another. There was constant sound of firecrackers outside the gate of the Zhejiang Guild Hall, and people from other halls sighed in their hearts, "I'm afraid they will be the first again this time." 'But I didn't expect that after the seven princes Tai, there was no good news for half an hour. Everyone turned their heads and looked at the five Hangzhou sons who were crowded at the window. Those who haven't heard their names at this time are either in the top rankings or are not on the list.

Just when everyone was about to wait madly, they heard a hoarse singing outside the door: "Good News Zhejiang Jinhua master Shen Yumao, the No. 20 tribute in the Bingchen Examination of High School, and the top of the Jinluan Hall!"

The reporter went forward to kowtow to beg for a reward, and after getting a generous red envelope, he ran away in a hurry, hoping to hurry back and report to another family. Although his voice was a little hoarse, every report would have a huge profit. The reward silver is probably worth a year's salary, and it would be great if he could take the exam once a year.

When they heard that they had already registered for the five sons in Hangzhou, the other scholars who hadn't heard their names knew that they might not be on the list this time, and everyone began to guess whether all five of them would be selected, and what the rankings were, and so on. They guessed the most What matters is whether Lin Fangxu will win the first place.

After a while, two teams came to report: "Good news, Zhejiang Jinhua Master Shen Yujing, the No. 15 tribute in the Bingchen Examination of High School, and the top saint in the Jinluan Palace!"

"Great news, Zhejiang Hangzhou Master Xu Yu Zhongkang, the No. 10 tribute in the Bingchen Examination of High School, the top saint in the Golden Luan Hall!"

Then there was another short pause. Lin Fangxu was still calm, and Shang Tan was already a little dry. I saw two teams of newspapers arriving at the entrance of the club hall at the same time, and said loudly: "Good news, Zhejiang Hangzhou master Shang Taboo Tan, high school Bingchen will try the No.3 Gongshi, the top saint in the Golden Luan Hall!"

"Great news Zhejiang Jinhua Master Lin Yu Fangxu, the No. 1 tribute in the Bingchen Examination of High School, the top saint in the Jinluan Hall!"

Since then, the release of the rankings for the examination has finally come to an end, and the results of the provinces were finally counted. The one who got the most attention was naturally Lin Fangxu, the first person in the test.

Xu Zhongkang exclaimed from the side: "Dongsheng has already won the big four, and now he has won the Chunwei Huiyuan. With this yuan, he even won five yuan! This is the big Wei

No.1 since the founding of the country! "As soon as Xu Zhongkang said, everyone realized that standing in front of them, they were not as powerful as the young man with the weak crown!

Although the three of Lin Fangxu lived in the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, they each had their own families. It was impossible for the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion to hold a grand banquet for the three of them, so they closed the door to celebrate.

When Lin Fangxu and the others finally escaped from the guild hall and returned to the Marquis' Mansion, they saw Jiang Shiyun and Jiang Shiwu waiting in the guest courtyard. Seeing them, Jiang Shiwu couldn't help but beam with joy and said, "Congratulations, you've won the prize!"

Xu Zhongkang couldn't bear the black line and said: "You are right..., isn't it natural that we can win?"

Jiang Shiwu replied: "Yes, yes, but Brother Lin is still the best. For five yuan, Brother Lin's name is probably spread all over the capital!"

Lin Fangxu didn't care about his rainbow fart, he just smiled and asked Jiang Shiyun, "Why are you waiting here, what's the matter?"

Jiang Shiyun said with eyes like water: "It's nothing, but my father said that your family members are not in the capital, and the Marquis of Wu'an will do everything for you. I'm afraid it will affect you badly, but you can still celebrate with your own people behind closed doors." .”

Jiang Shiwu interjected forcefully at this time: "Actually, daddy and elder brother will ask for a day off tomorrow to set up a few tables of noodles at home to celebrate you. Don't go out to play with those literati again."

Lin Fangxu thought to himself, fortunately you came here to remind me that he plans to take Lin Chong and two people out tomorrow, not to play with literati, he has no such free time, and the palace examination is half a month away, no matter how bad the result of the palace examination is. , and must be in the forefront of the second class, but most of the time he will go to the Hanlin Academy.

It’s okay to borrow the Marquis of Wu’an’s mansion for a short period of time. It’s impossible to live here forever, and you have to find another place to live. With the land price in the capital, it’s impossible to buy it. Lin Fangxu plans to rent a suitable small courtyard, and then plan other .

The next day, when Lin Fangxu and his three arrived at the front yard of the Hou Mansion, Shang Tan's uncle Shang Daoyuan had already brought his two sons, drinking tea with Jiang Jun and Jiang Shimin, and Jiang Shiwu didn't know where to hide.

The three of Lin Fangxu entered the room and said hello one by one. It is worth mentioning that since Shang Tan entered the room, the faces of the merchant father and son were a little unnatural, and Shang Tan was not as usual. This shows how strong the relationship between the two people is. not good.

In fact, if you want Shang Tan to talk about it, it’s not bad, it’s just a little awkward and unfamiliar. It’s easy to explain the unfamiliarity. The reason why the uncle brought him to make connections, and the relationship between the uncle's two sons who had taken the exam several times, were still candidates. In short, it was very complicated, so complicated that Jiang Jun had to open his mouth to make a rescue.

After Jiang Jun invited everyone to sit down, he proudly said to Shang Daoyuan: "Uncle, look at how promising the three of them are...! Especially Nephew Lin Xian, this is five yuan in a row. No. 1 scholar, my Marquis of Wu'an's mansion has a No. [-] winner of six yuan in a row, I want to see who dares to say that my Marquis of Wu'an's mansion is not at all literary, and the people who live there are all warriors."

Shang Daoyuan thought to himself, what does his surname Lin have to do with your Marquis of Wu'an's mansion? Shang Daoyuan didn't answer his words, and only joked: "Nephew Lin Xian is really a big surprise!" Eye-opening, I don’t know how many young girls and younger brothers are looking at you now, you have to be careful after the palace test, don’t let anyone catch you.”

Jiang Shimin also laughed and said, "Speaking of which, have the elders in Brother Lin's family made an engagement for you?"

Lin Fangxu shyly said: "When I left my hometown, I had just turned sixteen. I was too young to be engaged."

Xu Zhongkang looked at his shy face, laughed and said, "I don't know if I don't say it, but I found out that Dongsheng is actually very young. I'm afraid he still doesn't know about men, women, and brothers."

Seeing that Lin Fangxu's face was flushed by the words, everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere finally came alive. Lin Fangxu, who made a great contribution to everyone's good mood, who didn't know about men, women, and brothers, thought to himself, "If you are happy, you will be happy." good. '

The front yard has changed from embarrassment to liveliness, but the backyard has changed from a rather lively atmosphere to a little embarrassment. The reason is Lin Fangxu's marriage

problem.

Jiang Shimin's husband, Mr. Zhang Shaolang, had just given birth to his youngest son, and at this time he was holding the youngest son to rescue him and said, "It's still difficult to bring up the first child. If there is no father-in-law to guide me, I really can't do anything. Now It's much easier to take care of the second boy."

Yao shi didn't answer the words, but had a sad face, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Wanjun and Ji have been together for more than a year, and the marriage has not yet been settled, so what if it is delayed." The tears were about to fall.

Mr. Zhang Shaolang was taken aback, and gave his mother-in-law a look of "I tried my best", and teased his youngest son on his own.

Shang Langjun rolled his eyes at him, not because he was dissatisfied with Erfulang, he himself has a straightforward temper, and when he showed his son, in fact, Erfulang, whom the eldest son took a fancy to first, was also a straightforward and righteous person. The people got along very well, and at this time he fled the battle, it can't be blamed for not trying his best, it can only be said that the enemy's Lihualei is too powerful.

Mr. Shang Lang had no choice but to go to the battle himself and said: "Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to help, but it's the young master Lin. He just borrowed this place, and the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion actually got in touch with him. , we really can’t be the masters of other people’s marriage affairs.”

Seeing that her tears were fading, Mr. Shang Lang heaved a sigh of relief, and continued to insist: "I think his father and brother will probably come to the capital after receiving the news of the examination. I will give them a message for you when the time comes."

It was only at this time that Yao shi said sincerely: "Then I will leave everything to my younger brother."

Mr. Shang Lang choked when he heard this, and furtively pinched his elder husband who was holding back his smile while holding back his lips. Zhang Shaolang rubbed his arm that didn't hurt, and said happily, "This eldest aunt is crying at every turn. Unexpectedly, he is a powerful person, the most powerful and sharp person like Father Kemu, haha... '

Zhang Shaolang was secretly happy, but Shang Wanjun who came back from wandering in the garden outside the door was not so happy. Shang Wanjun didn't know that her mother had such a plan. Thinking of Chen Kai who secretly made plum blossom rouge for herself not long ago, she was flustered very.

Jiang Shiwu was a little embarrassed. He would have followed in the front yard to entertain guests if he knew it earlier. He wanted to go to the martial arts field with Xiaoyun after he had come to pay his respects to his father. Why did he encounter such an embarrassing thing? Shang Wanjun didn't say anything, but just happened to hear that her mother wanted to marry her to Lin Xiaodi.

Jiang Shiwu, who was sneaking embarrassingly at Shang Wanjun, didn't notice that the face of Jiang Shiyun standing next to him was covered with dark clouds, and his eyes kept flashing with anger, unwillingness, fear, etc., and finally turned into calm. The wind and waves, only he himself knows.
