Bai Yueguang is always taken away [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 48 The Prince of the Family & the Violent King (12)
Time flies, and soon it will be the day of the test.
On this day, the whole Ning family became active for Ning Jin.Even Ning Chen heard some movement in this remote courtyard.
Tian Nongyu was worried and insisted on personally sending her son Ning Jin to the gate of the Gongyuan.
Gongyuan gate.
Tian Nongyu handed the beautifully decorated test basket to Ning Jin lovingly, and said, "Jin'er, the first layer of this test basket contains pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and the second layer contains some dry food. Your father I have arranged for you a test room with a better location through my relationship, and my mother believes in your strength, as long as you perform normally, you don't need to be too nervous."
Ever since Ning Jin knew that the imperial examination papers would have to be sealed and transcribed in the future, she felt very restless.
He took the test basket as soon as he took it, with an impatient expression: "Got it, you talk about this and that in my ear all day long, even if I am not nervous, you will make me nervous."
Tian Nongyu didn't dare to tell him anything after he said that.
Although Zhang Zhongyi had said before that he wanted to give up the exam, but since he knew that His Majesty had carried out such reforms on the imperial examination, he felt his head hanging from the beam, and he became angry again.He came to the gate of the Gongyuan early in the morning to line up, waiting for the door of the Gongyuan to open.
As soon as Ning Jin and his party arrived at the entrance of the Gongyuan, they immediately attracted the attention of many scholars.
After all, this group of people was huge, and a large number of servants and maidservants came to send the exam, and one could tell at a glance that they were the children of which family in the capital.
In the past, if Zhang Zhongyi saw this scene, he might still have envious and jealous thoughts in his heart, but now, his mentality has calmed down, he can't change his background, but he can change his future.
The three-day trial passed quickly.
As soon as the scholars recovered from the exhaustion of the examination, they fell into anxiety and waited for the time to release the results.
This was the first imperial examination to be sealed and transcribed. Therefore, even the examiners could not know which scholar would win the gold list until the final result came out.
After reading the list in his hand, Qin Yu handed it to Ning Chen who was sitting beside him.
Ning Chen looked at the names on the list, raised his eyebrows, and said calmly, "Once the result comes out, those aristocratic families will probably complain."
Hearing Ning Chen's words, the corners of Qin Yu's mouth twitched slightly, with a smug smile: "This is the only way to have this kind of result. In case the officials elected by the imperial examination only know the aristocratic family but don't know the emperor. I am greatly inspired The purpose of holding the imperial examination is to seek talents for the country, not to select all the wastes who are dead and vegetarian."
With all the anticipation, the day to release the list finally arrived.
Outside the east wall of the Gongyuan, it was already full of people before dawn.
Tian Nongyu sent a few servants to wait outside the tribute courtyard early in the morning.Zhang Zhongyi's poor children also stayed up all night, and they waited nervously outside the tribute courtyard early in the morning.
Seeing the officials from the Ministry of Rituals coming with a group of imperial guards, the crowd of onlookers made way for them one after another.
The imperial guards separated the crowd and let the officials post the list before letting them go.
The onlookers and servants wished they could sharpen their heads and dive in.
Several servants from the Ning Mansion also squeezed into the crowd, looking for Ning Jin's name on the list.
"I'm on the list! I'm on the list this year!" A plainly dressed scholar pointed to his name at the end of the list, blushing with excitement.
Zhang Zhongyi heard the news that someone was on the list from time to time, and his palms were sweating nervously.He settled down and continued to scan the names on the list, secretly praying that the next name would be himself.
"Brother Zhang, it's too slow for the two of us to look from the back like this, or I'll start from the front of the list, and you continue to look from the bottom of the list."
The person who said this was Li Shusheng, a good friend of Zhang Zhongyi's hometown. He had found his name at the end of the list just now, and now he is free to read the list for Zhang Zhongyi.
Zhang Zhongyi was so nervous that he could hardly breathe, and he had no time to discern what his friend said, so he just waved his hands casually.
He carefully looked at every name on the list one by one, for fear of missing his own name.
The more he looked, the more panicked he became.
Why didn't I see my name after searching for so long! He shouldn't have to do it all over again, right?
Thinking of the possibility of failing the ranking, Zhang Zhongyi couldn't help but reach out and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Brother Zhang! You are on the list! You are at the top of the list!"
Zhang Zhongyi focused all his attention on the names on the list, and no outside voice could enter his ears at this moment.
Li Shusheng stood on tiptoe, seeing Zhang Zhongyi still behind, looking straight at the names on the list, he guessed that he probably didn't listen to his words.
Excitedly, he squeezed to Zhang Zhongyi's side, and shouted excitedly: "Brother Zhang, you are on the list, and you are at the front."
When people near the list heard his words, they couldn't help but look at the two with envy.
Hearing his words, Zhang Zhongyi hurriedly turned his head excitedly, almost incoherent in a hurry: "Where is it? Where is it? Where is my name!"
Li Shusheng pulled him to the front of the list, pointed to the list, and motioned him to take a look for himself.
Seeing his name on the list, Zhang Zhongyi burst into tears instantly.
After ten years of studying hard, he finally passed the exam!
The people around couldn't help casting envious glances at him when they saw that he was not only on the list, but also ranked so high.
Zhang Zhongyi stood in front of the list, looking at his name over and over again, for fear that he might have misidentified his name.
After confirming again and again that it was correct, he and his friends happily returned to the inn.
The innkeeper heard that the two scholars from his hometown were on the list, especially Zhang Zhongyi, who was still at the top of the list, so he knew that the two of them would be successful in the future.
After passing the general examination, although there is still a palace examination, the palace examination does not eliminate people, it just assigns people a ranking.
The innkeeper hurriedly returned the accommodation fees of the two people to them one by one, and even served a table of good wine and food, saying that it was a celebration for the two.
The innkeeper's flattery was rejected by the two of them.
Short-handed, soft-mouthed.
After they were overjoyed, they realized that what they had to do right now was to clean themselves up, take good care of their feathers, and concentrate on preparing for the next palace test, drinking and celebrating their achievements. It would not be too late to come back after the palace test.
Outside the tribute courtyard, the list has been posted for some time.
The crowd also gradually dispersed.
The servants of the Ning Mansion looked at each other anxiously, and then looked at the list from beginning to end again.
After carefully checking over and over again, they got together.
One of the servants said anxiously, "I've read it more than a dozen times, but I still can't find the name of the second young master."
"Me too."
"I didn't find either."
Several people looked at each other in front of the list, worrying about not knowing what to do.
Ning Mansion, the Patriarch of the Ning Family, Tian Nongyu and Ning Jin were all sitting in the lobby, anxiously waiting for the replies from the servants they sent.
Tian Nongyu fidgeted and walked back and forth anxiously, "These damned slaves! Why have you been away for so long and haven't come back, and don't come back if you don't come back!"
The head of the Ning family reassured him and said, "Maybe it's not necessarily because the list was posted late, so you can wait at ease."
Tian Nongyu was about to speak when the butler came in.After saluting to Tian Nongyu and the others, he reported back that several servants were already waiting outside to be summoned.
Tian Nongyu hurriedly called them in.
"Quickly tell me, where is my son on the list? But at the top?"
Tian Nongyu never thought that Ning Jin would fail the ranking. After all, Ning Jin had invited famous Confucian scholars to teach her homework since she was a child. She didn't believe that Ning Jin would be inferior to those people.
When the leader of the servant heard Tian Nongyu's question, he felt guilty, and for a moment he didn't know how to open his mouth to report the result.
Seeing that they were silent, Ning Jin suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
He was so angry that he smashed the teacup in his hand on the young servant: "You are talking! Are you dumb after going out this time?!"
Seeing that Ning Jin was still angry, the servant hurriedly spoke out the results one by one.
The lobby was instantly quiet.
Tian Nongyu's eyes widened in shock, and she couldn't believe what she heard.
Failed?How could her Jin'er fail the ranking? !
Before her Jin'er could take the exam, she passed all kinds of exams smoothly. Even the teacher they hired in Ningfu praised her Jin'er as talented and intelligent. How could he fail the exam? !
Hearing the news that he failed the ranking, Ning Jin was so angry that his chest heaved up and down. He actually failed the ranking!
Ning Jin was so angry that he swept all the teacups on the table to the ground, and the boys who came in to report the news hurriedly lowered their heads, for fear of being angered.
However, the head of the Ning family was calmer and calmer. He sent someone out to inquire about the status of this ranking, and only then did he learn that there are not a few descendants of the aristocratic family who failed the ranking like Ning Jin.
On the contrary, some children from poor families who were previously unknown have all made the list this time.
The head of the Ning family frowned, with a heavy expression on his face, not knowing what he was thinking about.
After the release day, Ning Chen found that the entire Ning Mansion seemed to be in a depressed atmosphere.
When he thought about it, he understood why.Qin Yu once showed Ning Jin's answer sheet to him after the review results came out.
Ning Chen found that his writing style was floating and fake at a glance.If Ning Jin can still make it to the list under the circumstances of Mifeng, those reviewers should also be changed.
No matter how angry and indignant Ning Jin and others were, the day of the imperial examination came soon after the results of the general examination were announced.
There were a total of 350 candidates on the list in this exam, and Qin Yu still personally wrote the questions.
In the past, all the questions in the palace examination were poetry and prose, but this time Qin Yu was uncharacteristically, and came up with three policy topics related to the current disadvantages and people's livelihood, in order to select those talents who can really do practical things.
Seeing this exam paper, some people are happy and some are worried.
Among the many scholars with sad faces, one scholar wrote quickly.Qin Yu walked behind him curiously and looked at his exam paper.
After reading what he wrote for a while, the corners of Qin Yu's mouth curled up slightly, and when he looked at the name Zhang Zhongyi on his answer sheet, he remembered that Ning Chen had mentioned this person to him.
It seems that the reform of the Mifeng system is quite right, otherwise, he would have missed such an outstanding talent.
Zhang Zhongyi also knew that His Majesty was standing behind him and watching his answer sheet. Although he was nervous, he wrote calmly.As soon as he saw these test questions and thought about his past life, he felt like a fountain of thoughts.
The test papers of this palace exam are still pasted with the candidates' information.The review officials quickly judged the test papers.
The results of the examination papers came out soon, and the officials who graded the examination papers submitted the top ten answer papers to Qin Yu, and asked him to decide the rankings of the top ten examination papers.
The top three are first-class, namely the champion, second place, and Tanhua, and the last seven are second-class.Among them, the most interesting ones are the top three.
The candidate for the first prize did not exceed the initial predictions of the judges, it was Zheng Shifeng who had a draw with Shen Rou in the poetry competition.He has a photographic memory since he was a child, and is famous all over the world as a child prodigy.
But this second place made all the marking officials fall into the eyes, Zhang Zhongyi?Who is this?
Even on this day of riding a horse parading through the streets, Zhang Zhongyi still seems to have not been buffered from the surprise that he got the second place in the first class.
Zhang Zhongyi's house is far away from the capital, and is located in a remote place, so the transmission of information from the capital to the other side is much slower.
Zhang Zhongyi passed the palace examination and got the second place in the ranking, but the news of him passing the general examination has not yet reached his family.
Hearing a knock on the door, Zhang Zhongyi's elderly mother hurriedly got up and went to open the door, but she was disappointed when she saw it.
"What are you doing here?" Mother Zhang looked at the uninvited guest outside the door, her sister-in-law Lin Xiuhua, with disgust.
Lin Xiuhua entered Zhang's house without being invited, and sat on a chair. After looking at the dilapidated environment in the house with disgust, she said, "Sister-in-law, I have a good marriage to introduce to you. This marriage , It’s simply something you can meet but you can’t ask for it, but I managed to help you get online.”
Mother Zhang picked up her needlework and continued to work without raising her head. She said coldly, "No need. You don't need to worry about my son's marriage."
Mother Zhang didn't believe that such a selfish and money-greedy sister-in-law would come to her with good things.
Lin Xiuhua couldn't help being happy when she thought of the reward she would get if she could negotiate this marriage.
Hearing Zhang's mother's refusal, she was not annoyed, but smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, look at how many times your family Zhang Zhongyi has taken the test. If this test is really so easy, he won't take it again and again." It's a failure. If it's true as he said, if you don't start a career, you won't have a family, then he doesn't know when he will be able to marry a daughter-in-law. He is not too young, and if this drags on, it will be difficult to find a partner in the future. "
Lin Xiuhua didn't believe that with Zhang Zhongyi's nerdy appearance, he could still pass the test. This time, he would definitely come back as disheartened as before.
Mother Zhang was indeed a little shaken by Lin Xiuhua's words.She is not young anymore, and she still wants to drink a sip of daughter-in-law tea. If she can bring her grandson, that would be even better.
Mother Zhang looked at Lin Xiuhua who was sitting at the table, and said, "Tell me about the marriage first."
When Lin Xiuhua heard that it was a joke, she was excited: "This family is a rich and big family. Their daughter is also beautiful. If your family marries her as a wife, you will enjoy a happy life in the future."
When Mother Lin heard this, she felt strange, how could such a good condition come to their house.She said suspiciously: "Don't be a fool, just say whose daughter it is."
Lin Xiuhua glanced at Mother Lin with a guilty conscience: "It's the young lady from Hu Yuan's family in the town."
When Zhang's mother heard it, she exploded in anger. She was so angry that she picked up a random object around her and threw it at it.
"I said, why are you so kind all of a sudden? You are not afraid of being punished by the gods. You said it so well. Why didn't you marry your son, but why did you come to introduce it to our family?"
The young ladies of Yuan Hu's family are all well-known figures within a hundred miles around.
After all, there are not many young ladies who can suddenly elope with their lovers on their wedding day, and she is the only one nearby.After elopement, there are not many strange flowers who returned home with a baby within a year, and she was the only one.
What's more, this Miss Hu is still restless when she returns home, and even hooked up with the servants in the house.
This member Hu is too regretful now, he should not have disciplined his daughter strictly because he felt sorry for his mother's early death.It is because of his doting that Miss Hu has become like this today.
Zhang's mother was so angry that she picked up the broom and wanted to drive Lin Xiuhua out of the house.
Lin Xiuhua was avoiding left and right, and dared to ask Mother Lin to think about this marriage calmly.
Seeing that Zhang's mother was really angry, Lin Xiuhua didn't dare to stay any longer, and when she was about to rush out the door, she heard the joyful sound of gongs and drums outside.
Mother Zhang is most sensitive to the sound of gongs and drums. She hurried to the door, and saw the servants who came to announce the good news coming towards their house beating gongs and drums, followed by many spectators.
"Good news for the test! Good news for the test!"
The guard who announced the good news came to Zhang's mother, beaming with joy, and congratulated him flatteringly: "Congratulations to Mr. Zhang from your family for taking the high school exam!"
For a moment, Mother Zhang was so excited that her hands were trembling, her trembling lips were so excited that she couldn't speak.
The neighbor who lived next door to them and had a good relationship hurriedly took out some broken silver and gave it to the guard who announced the good news.
After the guard left, the whole room gathered around Mother Zhang to congratulate her.After that, there will be an official in their village.
To be honest, when Zhang Zhongyi went to take the test for the first time, they still had high hopes for him.But after the successive failures, the villagers did not have much hope for him.Unexpectedly, this time, the timing turned out to be lucky, and I really passed the exam.
When Lin Xiuhua heard that Zhang Zhongyi had passed the examination, she was so angry that her whole face twisted for a moment.
This bastard stepped on dog shit this time and was unlucky, so why did he pass the exam.In the past, every time Zhang Zhongyi failed the ranking, she was so happy that she wished she could have a few glasses of wine.Now, when Zhang Zhongyi jumped over the dragon's gate with a carp, she was so angry that her heart and lungs seemed to ache.
Lin Xiuhua looked at Zhang's mother surrounded by everyone, and her eyes were almost red with jealousy. Why did she give birth to a stupid son, who only has brute force but no brains.
Within two days, news spread that Zhang Zhongyi had won the second place in the palace examination.
Zhang's mother can be said to be able to wake up from her dreams now.Since the news that her son had tried it, Zhang's mother has received many invitations and gifts, including some big people she couldn't even imagine, but Zhang's mother declined them one by one, and just waited. Her son is back, thank you all for your kindness.
On this day, the whole Ning family became active for Ning Jin.Even Ning Chen heard some movement in this remote courtyard.
Tian Nongyu was worried and insisted on personally sending her son Ning Jin to the gate of the Gongyuan.
Gongyuan gate.
Tian Nongyu handed the beautifully decorated test basket to Ning Jin lovingly, and said, "Jin'er, the first layer of this test basket contains pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and the second layer contains some dry food. Your father I have arranged for you a test room with a better location through my relationship, and my mother believes in your strength, as long as you perform normally, you don't need to be too nervous."
Ever since Ning Jin knew that the imperial examination papers would have to be sealed and transcribed in the future, she felt very restless.
He took the test basket as soon as he took it, with an impatient expression: "Got it, you talk about this and that in my ear all day long, even if I am not nervous, you will make me nervous."

If this test is really so easy, he won't take it again and again." It's a failure. If it's true as he said, if you don't start a career, you won't have a family, then he doesn't know when he will be able to marry a daughter-in-law. He is not too young, and if this drags on, it will be difficult to find a partner in the future. "
Lin Xiuhua didn't believe that with Zhang Zhongyi's nerdy appearance, he could still pass the test. This time, he would definitely come back as disheartened as before.
Mother Zhang was indeed a little shaken by Lin Xiuhua's words.She is not young anymore, and she still wants to drink a sip of daughter-in-law tea. If she can bring her grandson, that would be even better.
Mother Zhang looked at Lin Xiuhua who was sitting at the table, and said, "Tell me about the marriage first."
When Lin Xiuhua heard that it was a joke, she was excited: "This family is a rich and big family. Their daughter is also beautiful. If your family marries her as a wife, you will enjoy a happy life in the future."
When Mother Lin heard this, she felt strange, how could such a good condition come to their house.She said suspiciously: "Don't be a fool, just say whose daughter it is."
Lin Xiuhua glanced at Mother Lin with a guilty conscience: "It's the young lady from Hu Yuan's family in the town."
When Zhang's mother heard it, she exploded in anger. She was so angry that she picked up a random object around her and threw it at it.
"I said, why are you so kind all of a sudden? You are not afraid of being punished by the gods. You said it so well. Why didn't you marry your son, but why did you come to introduce it to our family?"
The young ladies of Yuan Hu's family are all well-known figures within a hundred miles around.
After all, there are not many young ladies who can suddenly elope with their lovers on their wedding day, and she is the only one nearby.After elopement, there are not many strange flowers who returned home with a baby within a year, and she was the only one.
What's more, this Miss Hu is still restless when she returns home, and even hooked up with the servants in the house.
This member Hu is too regretful now, he should not have disciplined his daughter strictly because he felt sorry for his mother's early death.It is because of his doting that Miss Hu has become like this today.
Zhang's mother was so angry that she picked up the broom and wanted to drive Lin Xiuhua out of the house.
Lin Xiuhua was avoiding left and right, and dared to ask Mother Lin to think about this marriage calmly.
Seeing that Zhang's mother was really angry, Lin Xiuhua didn't dare to stay any longer, and when she was about to rush out the door, she heard the joyful sound of gongs and drums outside.
Mother Zhang is most sensitive to the sound of gongs and drums. She hurried to the door, and saw the servants who came to announce the good news coming towards their house beating gongs and drums, followed by many spectators.
"Good news for the test! Good news for the test!"
The guard who announced the good news came to Zhang's mother, beaming with joy, and congratulated him flatteringly: "Congratulations to Mr. Zhang from your family for taking the high school exam!"
For a moment, Mother Zhang was so excited that her hands were trembling, her trembling lips were so excited that she couldn't speak.
The neighbor who lived next door to them and had a good relationship hurriedly took out some broken silver and gave it to the guard who announced the good news.
After the guard left, the whole room gathered around Mother Zhang to congratulate her.After that, there will be an official in their village.
To be honest, when Zhang Zhongyi went to take the test for the first time, they still had high hopes for him.But after the successive failures, the villagers did not have much hope for him.Unexpectedly, this time, the timing turned out to be lucky, and I really passed the exam.
When Lin Xiuhua heard that Zhang Zhongyi had passed the examination, she was so angry that her whole face twisted for a moment.
This bastard stepped on dog shit this time and was unlucky, so why did he pass the exam.In the past, every time Zhang Zhongyi failed the ranking, she was so happy that she wished she could have a few glasses of wine.Now, when Zhang Zhongyi jumped over the dragon's gate with a carp, she was so angry that her heart and lungs seemed to ache.
Lin Xiuhua looked at Zhang's mother surrounded by everyone, and her eyes were almost red with jealousy. Why did she give birth to a stupid son, who only has brute force but no brains.
Within two days, news spread that Zhang Zhongyi had won the second place in the palace examination.
Zhang's mother can be said to be able to wake up from her dreams now.Since the news that her son had tried it, Zhang's mother has received many invitations and gifts, including some big people she couldn't even imagine, but Zhang's mother declined them one by one, and just waited. Her son is back, thank you all for your kindness.
