Chapter 320 When the announcement is in progress (Part 2)
For the old lady's birthday banquet, the Marquis of Linhuai Mansion also invited the most popular opera troupe in the capital, set up a stage in the garden, and performed several popular operas recently.
Everyone here watched with gusto, applauding from time to time, only Zhu Pingan looked at the performance on the stage, feeling dull. How could people who have experienced the baptism of Hollywood blockbusters and domestic film and television have any feelings for these incomprehensible operas? feel it.
A song "Huan Sha Ji" pushed today's birthday banquet to a climax.
The third master of the Hou Mansion prepared three baskets of money early on. After hearing the opera, the old lady happily said "reward", and the second master of the Hou Mansion ordered the young servant girl to spread the money in the baskets on the stage.
Crackling, like money raining on the stage.
The old lady was overjoyed when she saw it. She smiled and was very happy.
"No wonder yesterday the lanterns exploded and exploded, knotted and knotted again, so it should be today, but I thank the old birthday star."
He was the youngest at Zhu Ping'an's table, because no one came to serve him, so Zhu Ping'an took over the job of pouring tea and wine, and poured tea and wine for the people on the table. For a while, the atmosphere on the table was harmonious very.
This table is full of poor relatives from the Hou Mansion. Zhu Pingan sits at this table and has the potential to be a foodie. Seeing that Zhu Pingan has such a good appetite, as if they have never eaten delicious food, they think that Zhu Pingan is also like They are all poor relatives of the Hou Mansion, and they didn't avoid Zhu Ping'an, sitting at the same table and whispering about the secret things about the Hou Mansion. Because these years, the Hou Mansion only cared about climbing up, and looked down on their poor relatives very much. When they talked about the secrets of the Hou Mansion, they also had some personal emotions in it.
Then, Zhu Pingan felt that what they were talking about was much more interesting than the operas sung on the stage. Why Linhuaihou was not clear with the girl at home? Pulling the handsome young man in the mansion into the room to set off a fire, what kind of old master and second master are working together to plot the third master's fortune outside, what he said is full of nose, eyes and voice.
When the birthday banquet in the Hou's Mansion was getting better, there was a commotion outside, and then like dominoes, the noise spread slowly from outside the Hou's Mansion to the Hou's Mansion, and then to the scene of the birthday banquet.
"Enke has started to release the rankings"
The news of Enke's announcement of the exam spread all over the birthday party at once, everyone's family or relatives and neighbors, there will always be people related to themselves to participate in the exam, so after hearing about the announcement of the exam Everyone was very excited about the news.
"It seems that the rankings will be announced a few days earlier than usual."
"This Xu Laosan, the news is really well-informed. He said that the list will be released today." A second-generation ancestor at Fatty Zhou's table said with emotion.
The public examination Enke rankings are similar to the rural examination rankings. They are first announced by the fast horse, that is, the special person goes to the inn or home to announce the good news. After all the announcements, the list will be posted in front of the Suncheon Gongyuan in the southeast of the capital.
The township examination is a juren, and those who pass the general examination are called "Gongshi", the first name is "Huiyuan", the "tribute" of Gongshi, which means paying tribute. You know, after the tribute, you can participate in the palace examination. The palace examination is personally planned by the emperor, and it is regarded as a "talent ceremony". But the ranking will change slightly.
Once you pass the exam, it means that you are about to rise to the top. If you are more powerful, you will be the number one in the exam, the second place in the exam, or something, and you will be admitted to the cabinet in the future. Nine out of ten.
There are 400 candidates to be admitted in this general examination, which is full admission, not too bad, and there are quite a lot of people. The messengers who announced the good news rode out from the Shuntian Gongyuan on horseback, and there was an endless stream.
After the news of Enke’s release of the test came, everyone at the birthday banquet looked out eagerly, and each sent their servants to go out to inquire about the news. The same was true for the old lady of Linhuai Marquis Mansion and others. Fatty Zhou in the Marquis Mansion also participated in the test of.
"Da da da!"
Suddenly, there was a brisk sound of horseshoes on the street in the distance, as if stepping on the hearts of everyone, it was so clear and touched people's hearts.
Boom!
Everyone at the birthday banquet in the Hou Mansion suddenly became excited, and the sound of horseshoes was so clear, it meant that the person who announced the good news had come to Gonghou Street.
The people couldn't wait to send a few young men out to inquire about the news. The young men who inquired about the news trotted out all the way, and ran back panting not long after, and reported that it was the son of the Duke of Cheng who rode by, not Someone who will try the Enke Annunciation. Everyone was a little bit disappointed when they heard the words, really, the kid from the Duke of Cheng's family really didn't know how to ride the horse at this time.
But soon, everyone became excited again, because there was another rush of horseshoes coming from outside.
"Congratulations to Mr. Li Yiyi, Bao'an County, Guangzhou Prefecture, who won the 396th place in Enke High School in the exam..."
The loud and clear sound of the good news from the guards came from outside, and it spread far away
The announcement of the examination is from the last to the front according to the ranking, and it is now the 396th.
Fatty Zhou became excited when he heard the words, stretched out his fat face and looked out vigorously, as if the next one would be to announce the good news to him.
"Hehehe, Fatty Zhou, why are you so excited, you don't have to worry about eating salty radishes, so don't even think about it."
"That's right, at your level, you don't need to worry about your mind. There are no doors, no windows. When God closes a door for you, it will also use the door to trap your mind. You will die in the imperial examination." Feel free to follow the brothers to the Beijing camp to find a job, and the brothers can take care of each other in the capital camp."
"That is, if you can win, I will perform for everyone to eat plates."
The second-generation ancestors tried their best to ridicule the fat man, and laughed at the fat man. There was even a second-generation ancestor who picked up a plate with his teeth shining and bet that if the fat man could hit him, he would act and eat the plate.
It has been a while since the sound of horseshoes passing by the street in front of Linhuaihou's Mansion last time, because the 400 people admitted for the examination are scattered all over the capital, so they don't necessarily have to pass by this street. However, everyone in the Hou Mansion knew exactly where the announcement of the good news was going, because the servants who were sent out to inquire one after another relayed the news back to the birthday banquet scene.
So far, the announcement of the examination has reached the one hundred and eighty-eighth place.
"Hehehe, it's more than one hundred, Fatty Zhou, just give up. If it's more than three hundred, if the examiner is blind, you still have a possibility. If there are more than one hundred, you don't even think about it."
The second-generation ancestors laughed at the fat man without losing the opportunity.
"Hmph, it's still early, what's the rush." Fatty Zhou snorted, still had great hopes for himself to be on the list, and looked outside with his small eyes sparkling.
"Pull it down, you will not die until you reach the Yellow River, if you can hit it, I will eat it on the spot."
"Me too"
The ancestors of the second generation beat Fatty happily, and laughed at Fatty at each other. They didn't believe that Fatty Zhou could hit him at all.
While chatting with her sisters, Li Shu heard the sound of the good news, frowned slightly, then called the little girl Baozi to her ear and told her to go find Wang Xiaoer and send more people to stop her Those who announce the good news to Zhu Ping'an should put more red envelopes, and when they go to the Hou Mansion to announce the good news, don't mention the first and last name, just say the young master's high school in the mansion. Just say, don't say anything, just double the reward.
Looking at the bunny maid running out, Li Shu raised the corners of her lips slightly.
Hehe, it’s better to be alone than to be happy.
