Chapter 170 171 Ranking, Qingchuan

In the blink of an eye, the day when the rankings will be released. After ten years of hard work, I am waiting to be named in the gold rankings.

On the day the results were released, the candidates gathered at the gate of Gongyuan early in the morning. There was a sea of ​​people in front of Gongyuan Street.

Ruyi and Zhaocai arrived at the gate of Gongyuan before dawn, occupying the best position to wait for the announcement, and Zhaocai shouted: "Come out, come out!"

I remembered a burst of cheers from the back. During the cheers, several soldiers with Pu Dao hanging around their waists, guarding the officials in dark official robes, opened the gate of the Gongyuan. A long red paper was pasted on the stone wall.

Ruyi and Zhaocai were looking for Zhou Jia's name among the densely written names on the red list. The two watched it twice, but couldn't find Zhou Jia's name on the list. They listened to the cheers of the winners behind them. , and a lost sigh, Zhao Cai said to himself: "This is the last hundred, our young master may be in front."

A young servant next to them glanced at the two of them and said with a sneer, "You think this is ordering food! I'm still thinking about the back, which is more difficult."

Ruyi glared at him: "What's your business with us talking? I want you to talk more!"

Zhaocai patted him and said, "Don't be in a hurry to get angry, and then talk about it after reading it."

During the conversation, the second red list was also posted on the stone wall. The two of them looked around and still nothing, and the little servant didn't see the name he wanted to see. The three of them were a little nervous, and the higher they went, the less chance they had. .

Looking at the yamen who posted the last red list on the stone wall, Ruyi and Zhaocai felt their heartbeats quicken. On the red list, I prayed secretly in my heart, and when I saw the name I wanted to see, the servant cheered, grabbed the lucky hand and jumped up, "Ah! Haha! Look, my young master has also won, the eighty-ninth place. "Zhao Cai froze there, the little servant blushed and turned to squeeze out of the crowd.

Immediately afterwards, Ruyi also jumped up, pointing to the red list and laughing: "Ha... Zhaocai, look at it, the young master has won the nine, and the young master is the nine." Zhaocai looked up and saw Zhou Jia's name. , The two embraced, tears soaking their eyes.

The person standing next to them looked at the two with red eyes and said angrily: "If you find it, get out of the way."

The two of them were in a happy mood, and they didn't care, squeezed out the crowd, sprinted to the parking place, and rushed back to report the good news.

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and at the gate of the courtyard, feeling a little anxious; it's already this hour, Ruyi and Zhaocai haven't come back, and there's no good news officer, is it down?

Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia's restless look, and comforted softly: "Xiaoxi, don't worry, it's a big deal in the next exam. If you can't sit still, let's go out and have a look?"

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then I heard Ruyi's joyful shouting: "Master, you have won the ninth place in the A list."

Zhou Jia hugged Li Yu happily, "Fish, I got hit."

Li Yu hugged Zhou Jia, and happily replied, "Yes, you won, and you're still ninth on the A-list!"

"Tongzhou Fengming Town, Fengming Village...the ninth place." The good news from the gate of the courtyard has also been heard recently. Zhaocai and Ruyi hurriedly took the happy money and went out to give a reward, and some of the ten alleys were listed on the list. Famous news spread in the alley.

After the lively celebration, the palace examination began. Zhou Jia won the second-class Chuanlu rank, was awarded the seventh grade, and was granted a background as a jinshi. When the Golden Palace met the emperor, Chu Yuhao asked Zhou Jia, "Zhou Chuanlu, have you thought about the Golden Palace? What are you going to do after the title?"

Zhou Jia knelt down and replied, "Go back to Your Majesty, wherever Dayong is in need, the minister will go wherever he is."

"Okay, okay, okay," Chu Yuhao walked up to Zhou Jia, helped Zhou Jia up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Dayong needs a minister like you."

The eyes of everyone looking at Zhou Jia are full of envy and jealousy, and they all think; this top two, he really knows how to speak, he has left a good impression on the emperor, and he is afraid that he can't stay in Beijing as an official!

Chu Yuhao looked at Zhou Jia and said with a smile, "I know that your origin is from Qingzhou, but now the people in Qingzhou are suffering! I intend to send you back to Qingchuan County, which is under Qingzhou, to be an official. Would you like to go? "

Zhou Jia knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En, I am willing."

Looking at Zhou Jia's jealous eyes turned into schadenfreude; let you stand out, now you are sent to a place where birds don't shit!

Zhou Jia has been tired of socializing with those people for a few days, and he was eager to take Li Yu out of the capital to see other places, but the emperor said that he sent him back to Qingzhou, which was beyond Zhou Jia's expectations.

After coming out of the palace, Zhou Jia said to Li Yu with a face full of guilt: "Yu'er, Your Majesty may send me back to Qingchuan County, which is subordinate to Qingzhou, as an official. I'm sorry for your husband, and you have to work with me again."

After hearing this, Li Yu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Go back to Qingzhou, okay! We just happened to go back to Xishan Village to see."

Zhou Jia hugged Li Yu and sighed with joy: "Yu'er, why are you so happy!"

The two looked at each other affectionately, Yang Wei shouted at the gate of the courtyard: "Master, Madam, Master Lin is here."

Zhou Jia kissed Li Yu's temple, "Yu'er, Yuxuan must know the news and come to me, I'll go out and have a look."

Zhou Jia walked to the front yard, and before he spoke, Lin Yuxuan looked at Zhou Jia worriedly: "Brother Zhou, are you really willing to go back to Qingzhou and become an official in Qingchuan County? That place is close to Daqi, where bandits were rampant before the disaster. , I have heard people talk about it before, saying that Qingchuan County went to several county magistrates in succession, and they all fled with their seals on them. I am afraid that there are ten rooms and nine empty places in that place. How can you make political achievements after you go?"

Zhou Jia bowed his hands and thanked: "Thank you Brother Lin for your concern, I know that Qingchuan must be difficult right now, but no matter how difficult it is, someone has to do it, right?"

Lin Yuxuan said anxiously: "Don't you know? You can say anything, saying that you stole the limelight of the champion, you want to show your face in front of the emperor, you are asking for hardship, and you are all waiting to see your jokes! I will I'm worried that you are really sent to Qingyue by the emperor, and it will be difficult to return to Beijing."

Seeing Lin Yuxuan's anxious look, Zhou Jia was deeply moved, and comforted him: "Thank you, Brother Lin, I just thought, someone has to do things!" Zhou Jia stopped Lin Yuxuan and changed the subject, "I don't need to do anything about me. Say it, tell me now, who is the one who caught you as a son-in-law?"

Lin Yuxuan said a little shyly: "It's the lady in charge of the household. I've already sent a letter to my father, asking him to preside over the wedding for us, alas! However, it seems that you can't drink my wedding wine."

Zhou Jia also sighed after hearing this: "Yeah! If the emperor really sent me to Qingchuan, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink your wedding wine. The two of us have to meet in the future."
