Chapter 543 Sending an Oral
The sound of gongs and drums rang all the way from the gate of the prefectural government to the gate of the palace. Attracted a lot of people watching the fun.
"Why is the Wang family beating gongs and drums again, and someone in their family has been picked up again?"
"Speaking of which, this palace is really strange. Last year, the master of their family passed the jinshi examination again. He was going to the capital to select officials, but he was stunned."
"Hey, how could I have heard of it?"
Fucheng has never been short of big families, let alone scholarly families. Among the twenty-two and thirty-six cities in Dachang, Wangbei County can also be ranked in the top five, and Fucheng is the best in Jiquan County.
But the fact that the Wangfu became famous in Fucheng also stemmed from the fact that in August last year, the only juren master of the Wang family returned to Fucheng, and everyone who saw him said that the juren master must have passed the imperial examination and failed to obtain a jinshi.
But not long after that, everyone heard that Master Juren was awarded a jinshi!
Wang Chuangui went to Wanning City full of confidence, thinking in his heart that he would definitely not be able to compete with those who have been studying hard for more than ten years.
After he didn't want to put it on the list, he only got a top three jinshi, and he was two or three short of it, so he fell out of the list!
Wang Chuangui was deeply affected, and even Ma Shi and the new book boy who bought him specially were not able to comfort him.
When he thought of returning to Fucheng, his mother would roll her eyes and say to him, "I knew you were useless, but I didn't expect that you would be so useless. You have the face to come back to see me after taking the top three exams? Your face is really not as good as the city wall. How thin!"
If you pass the second-class test, you can immediately select an official, usually a seventh-rank magistrate, which is better than a ninth-rank fake magistrate bought by donation, but it is also more difficult to climb up.
Difficult, but it is not that there is no chance, grit your teeth, work hard, and it is possible to climb to the fourth rank.
But if you pass the top three exams, then you can climb up to the sixth rank at most on Qingyun Road in this life, and you will be able to climb to the fifth rank.
Then how can you ask your mother for a life?
Not only that, but he also wanted to get a madam for Myrtle. His wife had been by her side for many years and had worked hard, and he also wanted to give her a real thank you.
The name of Mrs. Mingming is more real than any sweet words.
But he failed the exam!
"I'll ask if I can retake the exam." That night, Wang Chuangui went out with red eyes.
On the second day, the students in Wanning City discovered that the original places on the list had changed, and one person's name had been removed.
After inquiring again, I found out that a person born in a poor family actually voluntarily gave up this fame and asked to retake the exam three years later.
Because he was dissatisfied with his ranking, he gave up the imperial examinations. This is the first person in history!
You must know that the difficulty of the imperial examination will only increase every year, and there will never be fewer candidates. All the candidates from the county towns go to Wanning City, and there are thousands of people in total.
These thousands of people are all outstanding people in the local area. Among them, there are many talented people, but only the top 200 are selected.
Passing the exam is a matter of strength and luck.
When Wang Chuangui returned home, he told Mrs. Wang about it. She thought it would lead to scolding, but she never thought that Mrs. Wang even raised the corners of her lips.
"Well, it's not hopeless." He didn't mention Wang Chuangui's abandonment of the exam at all.
Wang Chuangui got a compliment inexplicably (thinking it was a compliment), he was dizzy, ran to share it with Ma Shi, and went to ask Lao Wangtou.
"Father, does mother have high hopes for me again? Does she also think that my son will be able to take the top three in three years?"
At this time, Lao Wangtou was in the room, a huge stone was placed on the table, and he was beating with a hammer.
After hearing this, he didn't lift his head: "No, it's just that you have to come back with a top-three reputation, and your mother may have to remove you from the household register."
Wang Chuangui's smile froze: "...It's not that serious, is it?"
"Too embarrassing."
Abandoning his fame, most people outside laugh at him for being stupid. If he comes back with his fame, he will laugh at their entire Wang family for pulling their crotch.
The old lady can't stand it.
Wang Chuangui: "…"
Having said that, a group of people came to the gate of the palace beating gongs and drums, but the autistic Wang Chuangui didn't even hear it.
Wang Erlang and Jiang Wujing who stayed at home took the lead to go outside, but saw someone carrying a big thing covered with a red cloth.
That thing was terrifyingly tall, and there was more than one piece, a mighty group of people, all carrying similar things.
Wang Erlang was confused: "What is this?"
The person who walked at the front had a rotten smile on his face: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to the palace!"
Wang Erlang hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask where the joy comes from?"
"Do you still have elders in your family?" The man didn't answer, but instead asked.
"Yes, the official's family will wait a moment, the slave family will go and call the grandmother immediately." Jiang Wujing recognized the badge on the man's body, and knew that this man had an official position, and immediately turned back to the house to call Mrs. Wang and others.
At the gate of the palace, there is already a large group of people, and everyone wants to see what is going on.
When the old lady Wang arrived, she only glanced at it, then turned to Wang Shilang who was standing by and said, "Let your father come out and set the incense table."
Wang Chuangui was in the academy, and naturally he also learned various etiquettes. He heard that there was going to be an incense table. Knowing that it was not a trivial matter, he hurried to clean up.
After instructing Wang Chuangui, Mrs. Wang asked Jiang Wujing and Zhou Chuchu to prepare the red seal together.
I prepared some at home, and the old lady specially instructed, of course, to pack an extra large one.
Jiang Wujing is currently a little more knowledgeable in the family, and knows what grade of red seal is best, and Zhou Chuchu knows what is more rich, so the two of them will naturally match better.
The leader saw that the Wang family was so knowledgeable, and secretly thought in their hearts: It is a family with discerning eyes, no wonder they can raise such excellent children.
After everyone was ready, the leader stood at the gate of the palace, holding his hand and said: "Feng Minghua Emperor said: Dongyue City is in trouble, and misfortune, the four virtuous sons of the Wang family, Wang Zilang, Wang Zizhao, Wang Zilan, and Wang Ruyu, will be wise. Beneficial, not chaotic in the face of danger... useful in eliminating chaos, a special 'loyalty and brave' archway, a pair of jade Ruyi, a tree of blood corals, a national letter from the royal family, ... the descendants of Yi Zhao, this is honored!"
Mrs. Wang did not bow down, she stepped forward to receive the seal, and by the way stuffed the man with a big red seal.
The man pinched the thickness of the red seal with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and didn't care about the little things that the old lady didn't understand the rules.
After reading the oracle, everyone tore off the red cloth, only to discover that it was indeed the top structure of the archway.
Made of all stone!
As long as you build a base at the bottom, you can use it directly.
But everyone was in trouble: "Where is this archway going to stand?"
Mrs. Wang pointed to a large open space outside the door and said, "Just here."
"Grandma, but there are still two families in this street, not ours, they directly occupy the street, isn't it good?"
I didn't think about it, the two families jumped out directly: "It's very good, very good, just stand here!"
Another family said, "No, no, no, I think this place is a little narrow, why don't we tear down the door of my house and move it back a zhang to make room?!"
People: "…"
Wang Family: "…"
