Chapter 521 Competing for the Annunciation
His name is all on the list, and this Jie Yuan can't escape. There was such a big commotion because my girl ranked first in the first county examination. This time, Xie Yuan in the township examination is not good for Dajin.
It's worse than an earthquake. Since everyone will know, it's better for him to shout out now so that he can express all the things he had been holding back last night and feel happy.
Last night he heard everyone bragging about his master. He couldn't say anything, but it made him extremely frustrated.
Now his girl is Jieyuan, haha, she is Jieyuan. She is better than all the old men who took part in the provincial examination. Let’s see who is still arrogant in front of him.
When he yelled like this, the people watching the list exploded with a "buzz" sound.
"What?"
"How can this be?"
Everyone invariably looked at the name at the top of the red list, where the three words "Zhao Ruxi" were clearly written.
"Zhao Ruxi? They should have the same name, right?"
"Yes, it's definitely not that Zhiwei layman. Zhiwei layman is a teenage girl. I heard that she recognized her half-way through. Originally, she didn't even have to read in the countryside. How could she win the imperial examination or be able to gain the title of Jie Yuan?"
"Isn't that right? If you are good at painting, you might say you are too talented. There is no ten-year window for the imperial examination. No matter how smart you are, you will not be able to pass the exam."
Everyone denied it in unison.
However, a weak voice said: "I heard that a woman took part in the provincial examination. It seems to be Zhao Zhiwei."
However, this person also knew that such words would easily arouse public outrage, so he did not dare to speak loudly, and only muttered in a low voice, which did not cause any big waves.
Regardless of whether they passed the exam or failed, everyone was unwilling to admit that they or their master were inferior to a little girl, so they unanimously rejected Zhao Ruxi, and finally reached a consensus.
Since everyone thinks this is impossible, it is definitely impossible.
Everyone was psychologically comforted, and they were about to find trouble with the kid who yelled just now, but they didn't expect Xiao Le to be smart. He had already made up his mind to run away quickly when he yelled. Before he finished speaking, he
While everyone was in a daze, he got out of the crowd.
After the red list came out, those who passed the exam and those who failed the exam were all settled. Many people hurried back to report the news. Some people walked out and some squeezed in. The crowd was no longer as crowded as before.
It was a lot looser, which gave Xiao Le a chance. Even Wu Mo, who was paying the most attention to him, didn't grab the lapel of his clothes. When he came back to his senses, he found that Xiao Le was gone.
Xiao Le was nowhere to be found, and no one cared. He couldn't take care of his own happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy. Who had the energy to take care of other people's affairs?
Yamen officials are rewarded with rewards for reporting good news. And the capital is no better than other places. There are many wealthy people here. When aristocratic families are happy, it is common to receive dozens or hundreds of taels of rewards, which is not what people in the countryside can compare with. Reporting good news is definitely a good job.
.
Therefore, in addition to those on duty, the governor of the capital and other government officials were dispatched. They got the news as early as when the white list was posted, divided the work, and reported the good news to those who passed the exam as quickly as possible with the highest efficiency. Run more.
One family will get more rewards.
Xiao Le squeezed out from the crowd and ran towards Suiping Bo's Mansion. The three fastest running teams at the other end had already divided the tasks of announcing the good news to the top three. By the time Xiao Le ran to the alley near the Bo's Mansion, Xiao Le squeezed out from the crowd.
At that time, I saw the government servant coming this way.
Xiao Le knew that if he reported the good news before the yamen servant, the reward would definitely be different. But if he reported the good news at the back, the uncle and his wife would reward him for his hard work all night, but the reward would not be too much.
He suddenly became anxious and ran forward with all his life. He finally entered the uncle's house ahead of the Yamen servant and rushed forward. The concierge saw him coming back and wanted to ask him something, but he saw Xiao Le grinning all the way.
Rushed in.
"Hey, this kid..." The concierge suddenly became happy, "Looking at Xiao Le's behavior, I'm afraid there will be something happy in our uncle's house."
Just as the other concierge was about to speak, he heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from the alley.
"Which middle school passed the examination again? Is there any other family in our area who also took the provincial examination?" he asked.
However, his companion ignored him and pointed at the government servant who was getting closer and closer, and stammered: "Yes, he came to our house."
Suiping Bo's Mansion and the neighbor next door occupy a large area, and there are only a few houses in this alley. I haven't heard of the other houses taking part in the provincial examination, so only the girl from his family has just finished the exam and is waiting for the results to be released. Contact the little girl just now
The way Le looked when he walked in, what else didn't the concierge understand?
He stood up and said: "You stay here and I will report to uncle and madam." Before he finished speaking, he ran away far away.
The remaining concierge scolded: "You are a bitch who knows how to take advantage of others." At this time, he went to announce the good news, but there was a reward.
After scolding him, he muttered again: "No matter how fast I run, I can't run as fast as Xiao Le."
Logically speaking, a young man like Xiao Le is not allowed to enter the second gate without a message from his master.
But today was special. The woman who was guarding the Chuihua Gate knew that Xiao Le had gone to see the ranking list.
Seeing him running back with a smile on his face, the ladies knew that there was good news. They also knew that the uncle and his wife were eager to know the news and did not dare to stop him, so they let him run in. However, they still sent
Ask someone to follow you so that you don't have to take responsibility for anything going wrong.
Zhao Yuanxun and Zhu comforted each other and went to comfort the old lady, but they still held a glimmer of hope in their hearts. They both stayed in the old lady's courtyard and had no intention of doing anything else.
Talking gossip.
At this moment, they eagerly heard the maid's shout of surprise at the door of the courtyard, and vaguely heard Xiao Le's voice. They both stood up excitedly.
The old lady was drinking tea at the moment, and she was so anxious that she almost choked, but Tortoiseshell took the tea cup from her hand and patted her on the back, which made her feel better.
The old lady stood up and looked toward the door, and saw Xiao Le running in. But because she ran so fast, she was out of breath and couldn't speak at all. Zhao Yuanxun and Zhu next to her kept asking questions.
He: "How is it? Did the girl get hit?"
Xiao Le nodded sharply.
"Hit? Really?"
Xiaole nodded again.
"Haha, I hit it." Zhao Yuanxun was so happy that he didn't know what to do.
Zhu's eyes immediately turned red, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and tears burst out of her eyes.
"Yes...it's Jieyuan." Xiao Le managed to catch his breath, "Our girl is the number one Jieyuan."
"What? What did you say?" Zhao Yuanxun grabbed Xiao Le's shoulders, "What did you just say? Jie Yuan? The girl got the first place in the exam, was it Jie Yuan?"
Xiao Le nodded sharply again.
"This, this... I'm not dreaming, right? Madam, please pinch me." Zhao Yuanxun said in disbelief.
