Chapter 499
Outside the Gongyuan, the yamen has not yet issued a list, but the waiting people are already three layers inside and three layers outside.
He was keen and softly talking about the situation of the Shen family, but he was not a person in the officialdom. Many things were not so clear, and he hid half of them.
More people still focus on the spring examination.
That day, Wen Ci was the one who made a big splash in Bao'an Garden. Other candidates left an impression on everyone. At this moment, they were discussing whether those people could be named on the list.
Huo Yixiao got off the horse's back and searched everywhere, and saw Huo Yixuan and others.
Huo Yicheng and Huo Yian were also there, talking around Huo Yixuan. Not far from them, Wen Ci and his senior brother Dai Tianjian were also whispering something.
Huo Yixiao walked over and greeted everyone.
Huo Yicheng said: "This morning I must have said the result, why not let me understand the bottom line first?"
What he said was to tease Huo Yixuan.
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yixuan waved his hand quickly: "Don't say it, I just need to listen to the result. I should sit at the door of Madam Wu's kitchen so I won't come here to wait."
Huo Yicheng made a fist with his hands and smiled with his mouth.
Huo Yixiao also smiled and turned to ask Wen Ci: "What delicious food did Madam Wu cook today?"
Wen Ci said: "It's all the ones that the eldest son likes to eat, and he also added an eight-treasure duck. When I came out, I put it in a cage."
Huo Yixiao told Yin Lei to send a few jars of wine to Yanzi Hutong.
The wine is brewed from a warm banquet.
The cellars and Xihua Hutong, which were in the old Wen family's house, moved into their own yards and moved the rest over.
Their conversation about eating and drinking is described as relaxed and comfortable, and it is not like a candidate waiting to read the list.
Someone who knew each other came to say hello and asked Huo Yixuan to have a gathering at noon, but was pushed by Xuanzi as soon as he made an appointment.
Other candidates stood together, some were nervous and some were confident.
All kinds of moods were mixed until the people from the Ministry of Rites arrived, and they suddenly merged into excitement and uneasiness.
Even Huo Yixuan, who thought he had done well in the exam, still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were very serious.
Brush the paste and post it on the apricot list.
The officials stepped back and the back, and the area was surrounded by a mess. The candidates rushed up to see their names.
Huo Yixuan did not squeeze in.
Huo Yixiao took out a ball of cotton for him.
"What?" Huo Yixuan was puzzled.
Huo Yixiao said slowly: "Don't you want to read it yourself? Then plug your ears so that no one can hurry to tell you that 'the name is above' or 'I haven't found you after reading it twice'."
Huo Yixuan was happy when he heard this, and smiled with his eyes bent. He did not refuse Huo Yixiao's kindness and tore off two pieces of cotton and blocked his ears.
I didn't count if I blocked myself, but I even handed it to Dai Tianfen.
"You are also a celebrity," Huo Yixuan said, "Don't let people steal the fun."
Dai Tianjian laughed loudly.
Under the list, some people are happy and some are depressed.
This is the way to the imperial examination. Every challenge is a small number of people who can make further progress.
Today, there are also many people who choose son-in-law below the list, standing aside with servants, while examining the candidates' faces and behaviors, while seeing whether they can leave their names on the list.
This acre of three-part land outside the Gongyuan is complete with joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
Someone scattered and some went forward.
I waited for almost a quarter of an hour before it was a little empty.
Huo Yixuan strode forward.
Huo Yixiao followed him and watched Huo Yixuan standing below the list.
The list was posted high, Huo Yixuan raised his head and looked back from the front and soon, his gaze stopped in one position.
His shoulders tensed for a moment, and then Huo Yixuan blinked his eyes and relaxed his shoulders again, as if he had a breath of relief.
Huo Yixiao knew, Huo Yixuan saw it.
Xuanzai has a high ranking and can be easily seen.
It was almost noon, the sun was very good, the warm sun was setting, and the people on the list were covered.
In the dazzling spring sunshine, Huo Yixuan turned his head, pointed to the high place, raised his lips and said, "Did you see, I, the brother, have good abilities?"
The wind blew from the oblique side, and the apricot trees in the tribute courtyard were blooming, and the pink and white petals were wrapped in the wind, swaying in front of the list, with a faint fragrance.
Huo Yixiao held Huo Yixuan's shoulder and laughed and said, "Yes, it's pretty good."
Huo Yixuan didn't hear clearly.
There was still cotton stuffed in his ears. He couldn't hear what his brothers said, so he could only take out the cotton quickly.
"Hurry, hurry up, say it again." Huo Yixuan said.
Huo Yicheng and Huo Yian were very happy and praised him sincerely.
It was Huo Yixiao's turn. He curled his lips and quipped: "My father-in-law thinks you are good at abilities. Choose a son-in-law below the list and accept you as your son-in-law."
Huo Yicheng and Huo Yiming couldn't understand.
This is a teasing statement that only Huo Yixuan knows.
Xuanzai laughed: "Let the daughter-in-law Fangling?"
Huo Yixiao said: "I don't know where I am yet. I will accept my goddaughter first tomorrow?"
Huo Yixuan was both angry and funny, and hit him with his elbow.
Next to it, Dai Tianjian was still looking for his name.
He thought he performed well this time.
Although it was not the last group of people who came to Beijing, after he arrived, he was not very adaptable to the water and soil in Beijing. He was sick for a few days and did not adjust until before the exam.
This is thanks to the help of the Wen family.
Dai Tianjian has a completely Lin'an flavor. He still feels good when eating Beijing dishes for one or two days, but he can't stand it if he eats too much.
Especially when I am sick, I miss my hometown very much.
After that, he did not eat the food prepared by the yamen for the candidates, but by the nanny Wu.
Even because of the Wen family's lawsuit, Madam Wu did not forget to open her mouth even more during the busiest days of her family.
With the friendship between Dai Tianjian and Wen Ci, there is no need to thank these things.
"I have it!" Dai Tianjian saw it.
It was indeed a wise move for him to look for it from behind. He had guessed that he would either fail or be ranked lower if he won.
The few people came up to see it and said joy.
Among them, only two of them entered the examination room, and they were both happy.
Withdraw from the list and responded to congratulations along the way.
Huo Yixuan was very interested. While walking, he greeted Wen Ci: "They don't understand. It's really not easy for us to be elder brothers. Everything has to be an example for our younger brothers. It's better for your two younger brothers to look good and obedient. It's not like the three of you here, so you don't treat me as your elder brother."
Huo Yicheng heard it and went up to swear.
Wen Ci kept laughing.
He still envies Huo Yixuan.
Min Ge'er and Zhang Ge'er are obedient and sensible, but they are a little different from their age. They are not as good as those of the Huo family. They have been studying together since childhood, and now they can still eat together. This lively and fun makes people happy.
Huo Yixuan is still making trouble with Huo Yicheng.
Suddenly, I heard a "Xiuzi".
Huo Yixuan stood upright with sweat hair on the back of his neck and stood up straight immediately.
Huo Huaiding walked over quickly.
Chapter completed!
