After the imperial examination, the talents everywhere were happily admitted. Those who did not pass the exams were too far away, and those who wanted to take the exam again next year stayed in the capital.
These people all of a sudden made the capital crowded a lot. After the imperial examination, the goulan places and restaurants everywhere became their frequent places, either for a drink alone, or with three or five friends to get drunk.
It is natural for the rich to say that they can consume as they please, but there are not many people in that family, or even the poor. After asking for a few times, they find that they don’t want to find a way, and they can’t wait until next year.
At this time, there are always people who go to the various houses to post posts, wanting to be the masters of the people in the house, and they can become an adviser no matter how bad they are.
But this year there were too many people in the imperial examination. Only a small number of people got such a position. The remaining people had no other way to write letters, copy books, and so on.
More people will go to Goulan and other places to help chant two poems, play for nothing, and perhaps get the appreciation of the brooch girls and give them some money.
But if the poem is not well written, no one will care about it. The thin-skinned one will try to find a way to survive. The thick-skinned will follow the rich people, help polish the ink, hand over the pen, and wait for others. After I wrote it, I was touting it.
Others have nothing to do with the thin-skinned face, the rich son does this kind of thing for the poor family, admiring talents, some or some people have a good conversation, and whether they are rich or poor, they eat, drink and stay together. Talk about Dajing Xiaojing, talk about poems.
All this shows the various states of life, joy and melancholy are intertwined, life is repeated in these things.
At such a time, Zhang Xiaobao was busy dealing with the people in the boat and still had time to calculate the matter, and the Zhang family made another move.
On Suzaku Street, when the sun just showed its head one morning, a team appeared. The whole team consisted of twenty cars. Large signs were erected on both sides of the cars that originally used to pull goods. The signs were written in large letters. , This is not for ordinary illiterate people, but for those talented people.
Therefore, the characters are written with dragons, flying, and phoenixes, and there are some landscape paintings, accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, walking slowly from one end to the other. Twenty-two cars lined up in a row. difficult.
The people looked curious and didn't know the words, so they could only inquire, and if there was a literate person, they began to talk to the people next to them.
"Xiao Qing, this time you heard that you took the test of what is called the Second Class Classic, and read it to your aunt. What did you write about it? It looks so pretty."
In the capital, a female shopkeeper asked a person sitting at the window eating food when the team walked through the West Market and passed by. She was twenty-five and six years old. , The position is a bit backward, but there is still an official from the eighth rank.
People I knew in the past would look more respectful now when they see him. Only the female shopkeeper in this shop, what it used to be, what it is now, Xiaoqing screamed one by one, but didn’t make him feel angry at all. These years he The money for studying was all given by the female shopkeeper, and his life with only one mother at home was of no avail.
If it weren't for this female shopkeeper, let alone study, even if he is lucky if he doesn't starve to death, he doesn't want to or dare to show any disrespect to the female shopkeeper. Hearing the question, he respectfully said:
"Auntie, this is for some students. It is said that it is Huayuan County and Sanshui County. There is a competition to invite talents from all places to go. It can help Huayuan County or Sanshui County. If one side wins more, which side will get the first prize of this game.
This lottery is owned by all parties, and everyone who gets the first can get a good lottery, and they will be selected one by one, just like the imperial examination. "
Having said this, this person stopped first, waiting for the female shopkeeper to respond.
"Oh... So that's the case, then Xiao Qing, are you going? What do you have in the color head?" The female shopkeeper looked at Xiao Qing and asked.
"Starting in ten days, all students can take the boat without spending money as long as they bring out their own paperwork. The food will be in charge of the two counties for a few days when they go there. First, you have to say which county you are helping, and then you go to which county. I’ll go and ask if I have any errands in ten days. If I don’t, I can’t go there.
The color head is valuable, and the first one is the first one. A set of four top treasures in Zizhuxuan's study room, and 50 silver coins, which everyone has, is also a set of four treasures in Zizhuxuan study room. "
Xiao Qing explained it in detail, and he was also a little tempted. He felt that it was better than staying in the capital and not being far away.
The female shopkeeper nodded and asked: "What else is there then?"
"There is also the two counties recruiting masters at the same time, only for next year's imperial examination, depending on the professor, you can get 40 to 100 yuan a month, and the board and lodging are managed by the two Zhuangzi of Zhang Wang, and every day. There is meat for one meal, and there are holidays every ten days."
Xiao Qing explained another thing, and he didn't care about it. Those who couldn't make a living should consider it.
"The two Zhuangzis of Zhang Wang? But those Zhang Wangs of Sanshui County?" The female shopkeeper didn't pay much attention to other things, but knew about these two Zhuangzis.
Xiao Qing nodded: "It's those two Zhuangzi. If they were replaced by someone else, no one would believe it, but what the two Zhuangzi said is naturally unusual. It seems that there are some people like me. Where to go, no matter what, eating and sleeping will be fine."
Xiaoqing is right. Now there are many students who spend their money on the street and don’t know what to do. Of course, they also want to participate in a competition and choose a second choice. An opportunity, as long as you stand in the right team, you have consistent money.
This is not a small sum for them. When they wait to become a master, they will save money and spend this year carefree, and they will be able to take the imperial examination again next year.
In addition to these people who want to find something to do, those who are wealthy in the family also want to participate, not for the reward, fame, if they are remembered, they will have some fame in the future, otherwise why are they not? Want to invite someone to dinner? Drinking all day and having a splitting headache is not just to be famous.
The movement of the gongs and drums is not small, even those who returned with a hangover last night, as long as they are on both sides of Suzaku Street, they will be awakened.
Some official residences are also here. I heard the messy noises outside and asked the people in the residence to check it out. Those who were waiting to return said it was a matter of the two counties, and it also involved the Zhang Wang family. This matter never happened, only a few people complained.
Some people praised this thing. These people are basically dedicated to the country and the people. Knowing what it contains, the down-and-out students can finally be a little more stable.
In addition to the attention of these students, there are also some businessmen and people who lack manpower in the mansion. The businessmen want to go to the competition place. The daughter of the family was promised to go out.
The lack of manpower at home is naturally that they can’t judge the people with so many posts sent by the students. They don’t look for people, they don’t want people, but they don’t know how their talents are. Those posts may have been written by others.
At this time, I knew that there was going to be a competition. People sent out from home, countless students, as long as a comparison, naturally know which one will work which will not work, and then recruit again, even if it costs more.
This is exactly what Zhang Xiaobao wants to achieve, so that more people will pay attention to the two counties.
He and Wang Juan have set off now, sitting on a boat, heading towards Xiao Luoshui. Today is the second day after those merchants live in the first house in Linshui. They will send messages back and forth quickly. After all, it will take some time. It's better to go there in person.
Two people set off from the wharf in Huayuan County by boat. They didn’t receive much attention on their way to Shuiyunjian. But when they got to Shuiyunjian, when the people there saw the two rice seedling flags on the boat, they directly A boat was sent to greet him.
"This is really home. On this one-third of acre of land, finally don't worry." Wang Juan said with confidence when he saw the boat approaching.
"Yeah, here is our home court. If you go further ahead, the protectors on the boat will be relieved." Zhang Xiaobao also relaxed, looking at the restaurants, and waving his hands vigorously at the approaching boat. .
A greeting sounded from the boat over there.
When the boats of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan merged with the boat greeted by Shuiyun, Shuiyunjian restaurant can see the rooms in this place, as long as there are people, they are all moved.
It’s such a big frame that even the escort ship of the Lord Hou was surrounded. The bow of a small broken ship was nothing but two little boys. It shocked so many people. The ship that greeted us even had all the people on it. The shopkeeper of the restaurant.
Those who know the situation can only sigh the power of the Zhang family’s family here. If you don’t know, ask the guy. The guy’s answer is simple. It’s the master’s little boy and little lady. Those who hear it are not stupid. , You know who the man is talking about.
After waiting for the restaurant in Shuiyunjian, when Zhang Xiaobao looked at his home again, he found that it was different from the time he left. It was really like what he had originally thought. It made people see a pastoral scenery. Two people I only learned about it in the letter, but I really haven't seen it in person.
"If it wasn't for my father to urge him too hard, I would go back to live for two days and play with the children on Zhuangzi for a while. When I move house in the future, I must bring them all and look comfortable."
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were not prepared to keep a low profile at this time. The people from the main house came here not only with majesty, but also with a kind of identification with here.
