[Red House] Ban'er's Road to Imperial Examination

Spring hunting is a rule passed down from ancient times. It is a very important ceremony. It can not only exercise the body, but also promote force and national prestige. It has a deterrent effect both internally and externally.

It can be said to be very important, usually presided over by the monarch himself, even if the monarch has not been there, the most important prince will be sent to preside over it, and this behavior itself will also have a strong political color.

Of course, the emperor is still strong and strong now, and Tu Hui is just an adult, and it is not Tu Hui's turn to preside over it, so he can have time to play.

Since he was going to play, he naturally wanted to bring his most important friend with him. Tu Hui had just received the order, and immediately thought of Wang Yue, so he couldn't wait to run here and wait for Wang Yue. Notify your friends of the good news as soon as possible.

And sure enough, Wang Yue's reaction did not exceed his expectations. Seeing Wang Yue happy, he was also very excited. He told his past experience of going to Spring Hunting, and he repeatedly talked about a lot of interesting places. Time to play with friends.

Tu Hui's words aroused Wang Yue's interest, but hunting was not something he was good at.

"Don't worry, I've prepared it long ago. This time I brought someone here, a guard by my side. It happens that you have nothing to do recently, so let him teach you how to ride and shoot. By the way, you have a good horse." ?”

Wang Yue chuckled and shook her head. In ancient times, a good horse was equal to a modern luxury car. In the eyes of manufacturers, they are just nouveau riche. It is possible to order some luxury cars with a slightly lower level to go out to show off their wealth, but if they want a higher-level luxury car, the manufacturer will simply reject him without even thinking about it. .

The same is true in ancient times. Even if you get a good horse by chance, you may not be able to keep it without a matching identity.

Of course, given Wang Yue's background and family background, as well as his age, he doesn't need the highest level of famous horses, only a slightly outstanding young horse is enough for him to use.

However, the Wang family has just improved in recent years, and their understanding of horses is only for pulling carts or riding, and they don't realize that a horse also represents the identity of the owner.

Moreover, Wang Yue himself is not an out-and-out ancient person. Although he likes horses, he will not spend too much for a horse.

Therefore, he has a horse by his side, but it is true that his family's mare is a young horse that has just been born for less than two years. Although it is strong and strong, its coat color is very mixed. Not of any noble blood.

Wang Yue doesn't care if the horse is good or not, but he knows that he was brought by Tu Hui, and his words and deeds represent Tu Hui. If he is ridiculed because of the horse under his seat, even with Tu Hui, he will be despised Look, those people dare not say anything on the surface, but they will inevitably laugh at Tu Hui behind their backs.

"Don't you know what a good horse I have? I can ride it, but it will be a bit unsightly for those who can spend thousands of dollars on a horse to see it."

"I knew it," Tu Hui raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a little pride. In the eyes of others, he has been able to hide his emotions and anger, and he has the majesty of a prince, but in front of his little friends who grew up together , he couldn't help showing a little bit of childishness that remained.

"A few years ago, the tribes in the west sent several batches of famous horses as tribute. The horse breeders in the palace carefully raised them and specially selected the best male horses for breeding. They have already given birth to several foals, all of which are extraordinary. Well, I shared a horse with some of the imperial brothers, and asked some generals to ask for a few horses. Although the remaining few horses are not the best, they are also extremely rare. My cousins ​​are very rare. It’s not bad to keep an eye on it, but no matter how closely they stare, I still have a way to secretly hide one from under their noses, just right for you.”

"Oh? Then I'll accept it bluntly." Wang Yue smiled lightly, without any polite refusal. It's just a horse. It may be hard to find for others, but it's just a sentence for Tu Hui. In terms of words, he didn't need to refuse his friend's kindness.

"Thank you for thinking of me in everything, I will remember your love." But although these things are just a command to Tu Hui, he can't accept it with peace of mind. He has nothing to repay now , but he will keep it in mind.

Tu Hui knew what he was like, so he was more satisfied, and said with a smile: "Just remember it first, there will always be time for you to pay it back."

The two chatted and laughed, and within half an hour, they arrived at Wangjia Village. The Wangs didn't know Tu Hui's true identity, and they treated him as a sensible junior, and insisted on letting him eat before letting him go.

Taking advantage of his identity not being exposed, Tu Hui naturally intended to enjoy more leisure time, so although he was full of things at hand, he still squeezed out the whole afternoon to be an ordinary child in front of the Wang family couple.

The rare leisure time naturally passed quickly. In the evening, Tu Hui had to leave even if he wanted to stay. With the souvenirs packed by the Wang family and his wife, Tu Hui reluctantly made appointments with Wang Yue again and again. It was good to go hunting together during spring hunting, and then left.

After sending Tu Hui away, Wang Yue practiced riding and archery with the guards sent by Tu Hui, and at the same time connected with the horses sent by Tu Hui.

Early in the morning, many people came to the Wang's house. Farmers always get up early, and before dawn, many people have already packed up their homework and gathered at Wang Yue's house.

These people naturally hope that there will be a promising person in the family, so that they can strengthen their backs and go outside so that they will not be bullied.

To be honest, the people in Wangjia Village used to have the most contact with the subordinate staff in the government office. From their point of view, these subordinate staff who control their taxes and corvee are already high-ranking officials. In front of the arrogant subordinates, the courteous Xiucaigong is already very promising. As for the master Juren who makes the subordinates respectful, it is even more remarkable.

As for the Jinshi, they are people who are going to see the emperor. I am afraid that the gods and Buddhas in the sky have descended to earth.

When Wang Yue was selected as a scholar, they thought that it would be good if Brother Yue won the Juren, and those subordinate officials would no longer dare to do anything wrong in their village, and they would not dare to raise taxes indiscriminately when collecting taxes. When they were in corvée, they didn't dare to put other people's corvée on the people in their village. Only these two things made them overjoyed, and they dared not think about anything else.

After Brother Yue won the Juren and felt the changes in the attitudes of the people in the surrounding villages and towns, the villagers of Wangjia Village couldn't help but hope that it would be great if Brother Yue became a Jinshi master.

As for what benefits Brother Yue can bring to them after becoming a Jinshi master, judging from the shallow knowledge of the villagers, it is just one more thing to brag about with others. Show envious eyes.

Or it would be good enough for those subordinate officials to be more polite, collect less taxes, and assign less work.

As for the best, they can't think of it.

However, they knew very well that having such a promising member of the same clan would not only bring glory, but also their most scarce sense of security, as if they were not afraid of many things at once.

These are just the understandings of ordinary villagers, and more knowledgeable people naturally know more. In the eyes of the villagers, subordinate officials are already top-notch officials, but subordinate officials are just not popular in official circles. There is nothing in front of you.

Although the subordinate officials are difficult to deal with, it is just a matter of saying a word to the real officials and masters.

They have experienced the real authority of the official, and they have also deeply experienced their own weakness, so they know that they cannot be too small in front of the official, so they are even more eager to hope that there will be an official in the clan, who can stand in some places. Shelter them all the time.

Wang Yue could understand their feelings, but although he was confident that he would pass the exam regarding the expectations of his clansmen, he couldn't say it outright, lest people say he was arrogant.

Fortunately, the list will be released at noon at the latest, so just wait a little longer.

It's just that he can't listen to the good news with his family anymore, he still needs to go to the Gong Yuan to wait.

It is still the restaurant opposite the Gongyuan. I have to say that the owner of the restaurant is very discerning. Even if the Gongyuan rarely opens its door once a year, the number of people who come here is usually not much, but the money earned from the opening of the Gongyuan during the few days is enough to offset the restaurant The expenditure is still very profitable.

Of course, the boss's vision is not limited to this, but more on how to deal with people. Wang Yue has been here many times, and the government and hospital exams are taken here, and the township and general exams are also here. The time gap in between is too long, but the boss remembers him clearly.

As soon as he entered the door, the boss came out from the counter, greeted him warmly, said auspicious words, and led him to an excellent position.

Seeing the behavior of the boss like this, people who don't know him naturally want to inquire about it curiously. When they hear that he is Xie Yuan from the Jingcheng and Rural Examination, they will be surprised and admire him.

It may not be difficult to get the small three yuan in the capital, but it may not be easy to suppress the fierce people of the Imperial College and get the first place, even the Jieyuan from other provinces may not be able to do this for everyone.

Moreover, he is still so young, and looking at the faces of other candidates in the capital, there is no jealousy towards him, most of them are admiration, even if there are one or two who are not convinced, they just whisper secretly, and dare not put it on the table at all. It can be seen that this Xie Yuan from the capital is not only good at reading, but also a good person.

Such a person is naturally very valuable for fellowship. Those who can get to the stage of the test are rare bookworms who are not familiar with the world. They have both IQ and EQ, so they naturally know how to choose.

So in a short while, Wang Yue was surrounded by many scholars who came to talk, and the one who Wang Yue was worried about picking trouble did not appear at all.

This is naturally better, Wang Yuele is relaxed, he is complimenting each other with other candidates, discussing some academic problems, communicating with each other, while distracting himself, waiting for the list.

He is like this, but no one thinks that he is dual-purpose, disrespectful to others, because everyone is like this, and there are even some who can't do dual-purpose. No wonder.

Everyone knew the reason well, and no one cared about etiquette at this time, so when they stayed outside, whoever shouted "The ranking is released", the people around Wang Yue dispersed in a hurry, and Wang Yue just had a look. With an expected smile, he reluctantly followed the crowd to watch the list.

The author has something to say: Has this chapter been published? Jinjiang smoked it again, and the background shows that it was sent out, but it disappeared when I clicked in. I don’t know what happened!

What's going on, it has become a manuscript box again, and it can't be sent out no matter how I change it! ! !It was posted last night!
