However, he said that Sun Shaozong threw the note behind the carriage, and the stables remained silent for two days. On the morning of September 15th, there was another moth.
And what appeared out of thin air this time was not a graffiti note, but a large bag of soft gold and silver—it goes without saying that Ding Xiu used Sun Mansion as a 'pit'!
Sun Shaozong didn't know what to do with this big package. It was from Qian Ning's house. To avoid trouble, he had to hide it all.
As for whether to return it to Ding Xiu in the future, that is another matter.
Just because he had to dispose of this bag of gold and silver, Sun Shaozong went out a lot later than the scheduled time. When he got to the vicinity of the Gongyuan, he saw that there was already a blockage from the street to the end of the street.
Zhao Wuwei and several yamen shoved desperately for a long time, but failed to open a passage.
There is a whip, and I don't know how many talented people and talents are hidden in the crowd of Wuyang and Wuyang, so I really don't dare to start randomly.
Seeing that it was delayed like this, I was afraid that even the time to publish the list would be delayed. Sun Shaozong hurriedly called Zhao Wuwei to the front of the car and gave instructions.
Zhao Wuwei's waist suddenly stiffened a lot after being dispatched by his destiny, and he threw the wheel of a street whip dance to the ground with a slap, and said loudly: "The Autumn Patrol Ambassador Sun is here, please everyone. Don’t make a mistake, Master Juren and Master Xiucai!”
As soon as the leader shouted it, it was much more useful than the signboard of Shuntianfu. Although this patrol was a temporary demolition, when the list was released, it had no binding force - but at this juncture, who would dare to make an extravagant branch?
So I saw the crowd of people left and right, and gave up a passage more than two meters wide.
Only then did Sun Shaozong's frame successfully reach the gate of Gongyuan.
And Lin Delu and Zhou Da led the officials of the Xing Ming Division, who had been waiting outside the gate for a long time.
As soon as Sun Shaozong got off the carriage, Lin Delu immediately stepped forward to ask for instructions: "Sir, it's almost time, all the examiners inside, I'm afraid they've been eagerly waiting, look..."
After the examiners entered the Gongyuan, the main entrance of the Gongyuan was affixed with a seal to show that entry was allowed and no exit was allowed—others could enter and exit through the ear door and the side door.
Only after the announcement day, Shuntian Prefecture [or the Ministry of Rites] sent someone to unblock the Gongyuan, and all the examiners could come out of it in an upright manner.
"Then let's start unblocking."
After Sun Shaozong said that, he walked up the steps slowly. Before the incense table that had been laid out long ago, he first cleaned his hands with a copper basin, then picked up three sticks of sandalwood, lit it, and put his body on the incense burner.
The two small officials next to him immediately shouted: "The auspicious time has come, and the Gongyuan will be lifted!"
Sun Shaozong stepped forward and stretched out his hand, tearing the seal on the front door. Several guards immediately stepped forward and slowly pushed open the two red lacquer doors.
I saw behind the gate, a group of red and blue officials were waiting early, no matter how big or small they were, all of them were majestic and calm.
Sun Shaozong stepped forward and gave a salute, saying: "You adults have worked hard for more than a month for the country and the scholars. It is indeed a lot of merit. The government has prepared a banquet. Tomorrow, I will wash the dust and celebrate for the adults."
Although he had also reserved a seat for the Luming Banquet, but at this time it was the 'landlord' of Shuntian Prefecture, so he considered himself the owner.
After saying these clichés, Sun Shaozong stepped aside and stepped aside. The examiners, headed by Zhang Qiu, the minister of ritual, came out with their big sleeves fluttering, all of them without looking sideways, and went straight to their official sedan chair.
This time, there was no need for the yamen to clear the way, and the crowd spontaneously gave way.
Gein only after the examiners left would the list be posted. At this time, if someone dared to stop the examiner's sedan chair, it was estimated that they would have to be dragged down by the anxious scholars to fight in a group.
However, it was said that there was wind under the feet of the bearers, and they carried the litter to the birds and beasts in a short time.
At this time, four other officers carried a scroll and went out of the main entrance surrounded by a group of soldiers, and hung the scroll on the shadow wall in front of the door with a lever.
"The auspicious time has come, let's put the list!"
Following Lin Delu's shout, the four clerks withdrew the pole at the same time, and the scroll, which was more than three meters wide, stretched out with a clatter under the gravitational force of the earth.
Immediately, it seemed like a pot was opened in front of the shadow wall. You pushed me and scolded me, crying and scolding my mother. It was really fun!
It's not that the quality of the scholars is too poor, the main reason is that they can squeeze to the front. Most of them are slaves with big shoulders and round waists. In order to congratulate the master one step ahead, naturally they do everything they can.
When the first wave of people watching the list, either happy or annoyed, squeezed out the crowd, it was the turn of the poor men to fill up.
Compared with those horny slaves, their behavior is naturally a lot more gentle, but after reading the list, the reaction is ten times more intense than that of the horny slaves.
There are those who are ecstatic, there are those who look forward to self-improvement, there are those who weep bitterly, there are those who curse the injustice, and there are those who doubt the shady.
Of course, most of them were sad and staggered away.
If you ask someone to paint this scene, then hide the background, and name it "The Tomb at the Qingming Festival", there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
However, this is also normal. After all, among the more than 2,000 candidates who participated in the rural examination, only 137 were selected in the middle, and the admission rate was less than 1/18. The disappointing ones naturally accounted for the vast majority.
I heard that the admission rate in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas will even exceed fifty to one, which is simply a death test area.
Looking at the scene where the group of demons danced in front of the shadow wall, Cheng Rixing couldn't help sighing: "It's so ugly in front of this fame and fortune, it's really sad to look at it."
Sun Shaozong gave him a sideways glance, thinking that in the spring next year, if this guy falls off the list, he may not be able to perform much better than those below.
After waiting for another half an hour, I watched the crowd gradually disperse. Although a few candidates had difficulty accepting the fact that they were not on the list, they shouted that there must be a shady secret behind the scenes, but they did not arouse the approval of others.
Sun Shaozong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, so he called Zhao Wuwei and instructed: "Leave a few people here to avoid any accidents in the afternoon."
After speaking, he was ready to take Lin Delu, Zhou Da and others back to the yamen for business.
Who would have thought that as soon as he got into the carriage, before Zhang Cheng could shake off his whip, he saw a thud from the restaurant diagonally opposite, and someone jumped off!
"Ah~!"
Seeing this, Cheng Rixing couldn't help but sigh again: "The two words of fame are really harmful."
His voice fell, but he heard someone in the restaurant shout loudly: "No, Master Juren jumped off the building!"
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard the words. It is a common thing for a talented person to jump off the building and hang himself, but why did he jump off the building
Sun Shaozong picked up the curtain of the carriage, jumped out of the carriage swiftly, and greeted, "Go, follow this official to see what happened!"
