Chapter 59

"Brother, get up"

Xiao Meng was wearing a golden butterfly with a big red flower jacket, a pomegranate red flower-spreading skirt, a colorful palace belt tied around her waist, a sword was inserted diagonally on the palace belt, and a bun of flowers was combed on her head.

She pulled her brother's arm on the bed hard, trying to pull her up.

"Sleep a little longer, sleep a little longer." Ning Jiang lay on the bed and turned over.

"The results will be released soon." Xiao Meng said anxiously.

"It's okay," Ning Jiang continued to sleep, "Be ready to reward the silver and wait for the good news person to come."

"Brother" Xiao Meng was so angry that she stamped her feet, but she couldn't take her brother's mind, so she had to leave her brother alone and wait outside.

The sun slowly rose, and the mist in the mountains in the distance had not yet dissipated. The lake light shook in the sun. The flower boats docked on the other lake shore were already quiet after the hustle and bustle of last night.

Xiao Meng was waiting for the good news, while walking around the door bored.

In a corner of Zheng's Mansion, Lu Zhiyuan, who lives in Zheng's Mansion, was waiting restlessly. Lu Xifu talked to him while accompanying him.

Just like that, after a long time, firecrackers suddenly sounded outside, and then a manager came to inform him. Lu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. When he got outside, his brother-in-law Zheng Xiang was already smiling and helping him deliver the reward. Seeing Lu Zhiyuan come out, these good news come to congratulate him. Lu Zhiyuan asked and learned that he had won the third grade.

Although he was only a third-class, he still passed the imperial examination after all. In addition, his sister married into the Zheng Mansion. Seeing that Doctor Zheng was about to serve in the Ministry of Personnel, even if he could not go further in fame in the future, it would be a sure thing to get an official hat, so he naturally smiled.

He asked again: "I don't know who Jie Yuan is the top spot on the B list?"

The good newsman smiled and said, "To put it, it is Lu Juren's fellow countryman."

Lu Zhiyuan fell silent for a moment

At the same time, Gan Lie, the magistrate of Tongzhou, walked around the house, feeling irritable. After waiting for a long time, there was no sound of firecrackers outside. Until noon, there was no movement. In the end, there could only be a cup and bowl on the table. The servants knew that the young master was irritable and did not dare to disturb him at this time.

In Tongzhou City, there were as many as thousands of scholars gathered from various counties. At this moment, most of the people were depressed. The ladies of brothels and flower boats were ready to comfort their wounded hearts.

On one of the flower boats from Yuehu, a woman named Qin Hongyun stretched her waist lazily. Qing Wan, who went to copy the list, has returned and presented the list of the list of the first list this autumn in the autumn.

In the prefecture examinations in each continent, the quota for the voting is limited to death. For example, in the capital city, such as the large states near the capital city, the quota for hundreds of places. For example, in some remote prefectures and counties, the quota for each juren is only a dozen or twenty. Tongzhou is considered a medium-sized prefecture, and the imperial court has 60 places.

Qin Hongyun opened the list and saw that they didn't teach Ningjiang anything at first sight, but Jie Yuan came out of the state school, which always made the entire academy benefit.

As if it was like this, it was noisy until it calmed down after dark. Xiaomeng's excitement still did not fade, and Ning Jiang could not do anything to her.

After dark, the brother and sister were hot in the yard. Xiao Meng also drank some, her face turned red, and said, "Brother, you are the master now, hehe." Anyone who passes the imperial examination, no matter whether they have a wife or a child, can be called "master".

Ning Jiang knocked her head with a book: "It's just a juren, is it that worth being happy?"

Xiao Meng said: "Hehe" If you win the juren, your brother can go to Beijing to eat the eldest princess.

Because I was worried that my brother would be able to pass the imperial examination, Xiao Meng didn't sleep well last night and was busy for another day today. At this moment, I drank more wine and fell unknowingly, so that Ning Jiang had to carry her to her room and help her to bed to sleep.

Walking out of his sister's house, he stood in the yard, looking at the stars in the sky. In a few days it will be Mid-Autumn Festival, and the silver plate in the sky is oval. Outside the Luoyan Lake, there are piano music and singing, and the singing is actually "The sky connects clouds and fog" arranged by Qi Meng.

He held his hands and let the water-like sunlight spread on himself.

Next, you can go to Beijing to find Qimeng, so you have to think about steaming or braising first.

The sky is connected with clouds and waves, and the fog is about to turn and dance thousands of sails; it is like a dream of returning to the emperor's place, hearing the heavenly words, I diligently ask me where I will return, and I will report the long road and sigh at the dusk, and there are amazing poems to learn poetry; the wind is rising in ninety thousand miles, the wind is resting, and the boat blows the three mountains away

Early the next morning, according to the rules, all the new juren who had been on the B list of the state examination gathered in the government office, led by Ji Chenghua, the prefect of Tongzhou, to enter the palace to worship the saint.

Ning Jiang was naturally ranked first. After the response of heaven and man, a large amount of literary energy was poured into his eyebrows and the Wenqu Yin Mansion was further developed. Only then did it really work.

The first Juren who worships a saint can get the most literary spirit, and the ones that follow will decay in turn. When it reaches the third level, the literary spirit obtained is much worse than that of Jie Yuan, but no matter how bad it is, it is far higher than that of scholars.

At noon, the prefect Ji Chenghua held a banquet in the mansion to invite all the new juren. Sixty new juren were taken as the seats, so Ning Jiang naturally sat in the top seat.

After the banquet, the new juren began to walk around each other, and some juren who were far away from the provincial capital also began to prepare to return home, and fortunately they reunite with their families during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In fact, in the past, the provincial examination was scheduled at the end of August, and later changed to early September. Although the court did not explain the reason, Ningjiang conjecture one of the purposes was probably to prevent these juren from having too much time to join the group. After all, factions formed by the "friendship of fellow villagers" are often an important part of party struggles in the court.

The time for the release of the results is set before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and most new juren have to rush home to reunite with their families after two days of gathering with each other.

Of course, there are also many people who don’t even plan to go home in the Mid-Autumn Festival and linger in the place of love and mist.

For Ning Jiang, there is no such problem. After all, his only relative is around him, and there is no problem of reunion or not. However, if you don’t return home without wealth, it is like walking in a night clothes for brocade. Secondly, if you stay here, you must walk with other juren, otherwise everyone will probably say that he is withdrawn, and he doesn’t want to have so many social engagements, so it’s better to go back to your hometown first.

After returning to Linjiang County, the city was sensational, and the prefect Dianhong personally led the crowd to welcome him. For Ningjiang, he was also "flattered".

Lu Zhiyuan, a juren who returned with him, knew that he was just following the benefits. The prefect really welcomed Ning Jiang, Jie Yuan, but he was surrounded by everyone like stars and the moon, and he was also honored.

At noon that day, Dianhong and several local gentry invited several new juren at the restaurant.

During the wine, Dian Hong said: "Nephew Ning Xian recommended the recommendation of the official Imperial College that day. I was worried that you were too confident. Unexpectedly, you turned around and you were defeated by Jie Yuan. The sixteen-year-old Jie Yuan, at least in Tongzhou, should be the first one."

Everyone congratulated each other, and Ning Jiang bowed and said, "It depends entirely on the blessings of the Lord and you."

Dian Hong smiled and said, "I dare not take it, I will never dare to take it."

After the banquet in the county town, Ningjiang returned to Gaosuo County, which naturally caused a sensation in the whole city.

The scholar in this county passed the Jieyuan exam, which was originally a great thing, not to mention that he was the head of one of the four major families in this county. Even if he came to please him, he would have to make a "sensation".

The other three big families naturally invited Ning Jiang to visit, which was an unavoidable social engagement, and Ning Jiang could not do anything about it.

On the evening of the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, a carriage parked by Yuehu Lake.

Ningjiang got off the carriage and looked at the large pits in front of him. At this moment, the entire Zha Town had disappeared. The location of Zha Town became a circular lake pit, connected to Yuehu Lake, and the lake water poured into it, making it dirty.

Just looking at this scene, you already know how amazing the natural disaster three months ago was. And he was even more sure that such a thing had never happened in his previous life.

Is this really a natural disaster or is he thinking about it?

The calendar turned over one page, and finally came this year's Mid-Autumn Festival

Somewhere in the capital

"Girl, girl, the talented man from Ningjiang who asked his sister to send you poems in Tongzhou has learned about Yuan in Tongzhou Prefecture." A voice sounded crisply.

"What does that have to do with me?" The lazy woman's voice sounded softly.

"He likes you, he wrote love poems to you, love poems"

"Go and go, you're talking too much." The woman blushed and drove away the maid who was like a parrot.

After driving the maid away, the woman leaned against the railings of the tall building and looked up at the bright moon in the sky. The bright moon was like a mirror, making the towers far and near, and the round forests were covered with frost, and a silvery piece spread out like snow.

Looking up at the lonely full moon and the stars in the sky, she chanted softly: "Last night, the stars last night, the wind, the west side of the painting building, the east of the Guitang; the body has no colorful phoenix flying wings, and the heart is connected to the Ning River."

She sighed softly.

Do you know that I am an ominous person

She opened her hands and danced gently under the moon, soft and beautiful. She then closed her hands, holding the moonlight, showing a joyful expression.

In the county town thousands of miles away, a girl in a beautiful wool holds a basin, which contains water, reflecting the beautiful full moon in the sky.

"Brother, look at it, Fairy Chang'e is dancing in the moon." She said excitedly.

The boy followed her funnyly, thinking that he was so old, why are you still like a child? How can I train you to become the best master in the world?

Fairy Chang'e raised his head and looked at the silver plate that radiated the moonlight, and remembered the woman who always said she was ominous.

A beautiful dream, the bright moon tower is high and you don’t lean on it alone
