Chapter 142 Unexpected

In the first month of the first month, Ren He was envious when he saw that several people from the same year who lived in the Longmen Inn were always invited out for dinner and theater. Ren He was envious, so he asked his younger brother Ren Yuan to invite some of his friends from the same year. He planned to share the wine with his friends.

Talk about happiness to relieve the pain of homesickness.

However, for the first time, only a few people from the same year who lived in the provincial college were invited. He Heng and Liu Shanyang, who lived in the provincial college, excused themselves because they had to study hard. The second time, those who lived in the provincial college in the same year were all given various excuses.

Didn't go to the banquet.

At first he thought they all had to study hard, but it wasn't until Ren Yuan went shopping one time and overheard several family members of his fellow villagers talking behind his back that Ren He realized how bad his reputation was and what his fellow villagers were doing.

Why keep a respectful distance from him? You don’t need to ask carefully to know that this is Han Si’s fault!

When a person is unlucky, his teeth are choked by cold water. When Qian Junchen borrowed the money years ago, he said it was just for turnover and he would pay it back in a month at most. But after waiting for more than a month, not only was the money not returned, but even the person was nowhere to be seen. It was not like before.

Come and eat and drink.

Ren He was very angry. If Ren Yuan hadn't pulled him away, he would have gone to the government office to fight with Han Si, or he would have gone to the government office to argue with Qian Junchen.

My brother is right, it doesn't matter if the sky falls, it doesn't matter if you take the exam.

Ren He calmed down his emotions, thinking that his "fame was ruined" but his body was not defeated. As long as he could be named on the gold medal list, he would be able to "be proud of the spring breeze and see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day." So from then on, he never left the door or took a step forward, without any distractions.

I stayed in the inn and studied the first few subjects of "Huishi Weimo", and studied the "All Gentlemen Are Talking with Joy" by Zhang Wujin, "There is a Way in the World and the Hills Are Not Easy to Change" by Fang Bao and other famous articles.

A Collection of Famous Imperial Examination Papers".

With my head hanging from the beam and my buttocks stabbed, time flew by so fast. In the blink of an eye, it was already the sixth day of March, and it was also the day when the Emperor Jian Fang would examine the president, vice president and fellow examiners of the 18th House.

I heard from several people who lived in the Longmen Inn who had passed the examination before but did not know the Chinese style. Officials who have been listed as candidates will prepare their court clothes, luggage, ordinary clothes, hang court beads, and kneel outside the Meridian Gate to wait for the announcement of the decree. When the auspicious time comes,

The guards of the Qianqing Gate will go to receive the decree. After receiving the decree, they will go to the Meridian Gate and hand it to the bachelor to open the seal. Together with the censor, they will announce the decree and roll the name.

Those who are not pointed out will stand up and exit, and are not allowed to stay for a moment.

The person who was released from prison performed three bows and nine kowtows to thank him, was not allowed to stay, and did not return to his private home. He took a carriage prepared by the Ministry of Rites and went straight to the Gongyuan, and entered the palace on the same day...

The first session of the general examination is on the ninth day of March. The candidates are shortlisted on the eighth day of March. This means that there are still two days to prepare. Ren He also wanted to make good use of these two days and stayed in the same inn with his younger brother Ren Yuan before dawn.

Several candidates went to Chongwenmen to wait for news. As long as they knew who the president, vice president and fellow examiners were, they could quickly go to the bookstore to buy the previous articles of the president, vice president and fellow examiners, and refer to their names from the articles.

Likes.

All in all, this is a big deal for candidates.

Not only did Ren He go, Fei Erye, He Heng, Liu Shanyang and other candidates who lived in the Chongqing Guild Hall also went early. Pan Er and Datou wanted to watch the fun and asked Han Xiufeng if he would go. Han Xiufeng didn't want to join in the fun.

I didn't want to turn my good job into a servant of the candidates, so I covered my head and pretended not to hear, and ended up falling asleep again. It wasn't until I was woken up by Pan Er that I realized it was already dawn.

"What's going on?" Han Xiufeng asked, rubbing his eyes and yawning.

Pan Er was in high spirits and asked eagerly: "Fourth brother, do you know who I am seeing?"

"Who did you see?"

"Qian Junchen!"

"Who do I think there is to make a fuss about seeing him? To put it bluntly, I don't want to see him, because seeing him is bound to be bad." Han Xiufeng stretched, sat up and looked for some clothes.

"Fourth brother, this time is different from before!"

"What's the difference?"

Pan Er pushed him and said with excitement: "Fourth brother, you won't believe me when I tell you. You can't even think of this. In the morning, there will be a brief selection meeting to interview the president, vice president and the 18th room. Mr. Ji will take the same examiner.

The luggage went with the family, and Qian Junchen also went with the luggage. As a result, Master Ji was not selected by Jane, but his son was actually selected by Jane. I saw him with my own eyes riding in a carved and colorful car to Gongyuan!"

"Qian Junchen was chosen by the same examiner?" Han Xiufeng couldn't believe it was true, thinking that Pan Er had heard or read it wrong.

"If you don't believe me, ask Second Master," Pan Er was so anxious that he stood up and shouted: "Second Master, Second Master!"

Mr. Fei was having breakfast in the main room. He put down his bowls and chopsticks and said, "What are you shouting for? Here we come."

Han Xiufeng quickly put on his trousers, looked at Master Fei who had just entered the wing and asked, "Master Fei, what's going on? Is it true that Qian Junchen was selected by the same examiner?"

"Jian was selected," Mr. Fei became more and more funny the more he thought about it. He couldn't help but laugh: "It turns out that he spent all the money he borrowed from everywhere on this. It's really thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river. When he comes out of Gongyuan, he will be

The room master can just sit back and collect the money from the filial piety of the Chinese-style candidates in his room."

"Master Ji was not even chosen by Jane, but he was actually chosen by Jane. This is ridiculous!"

"Master Ji didn't use connections or money. He went through connections and spent money. It's not surprising at all that he was selected by Jian." Fei Erye paused and then said: "Besides, the same examiner in the Eighteenth House has already been admitted to the Hanlin Academy.

Occupying twelve rooms, the Hanlin Academy is as big as the Hanlin Master. Even if you are ranked based on seniority, Master Ji may not be able to be ranked."

"Where's Qian Junchen? How did Qian Junchen get listed?" Han Xiufeng asked in confusion.

"He is different from Mr. Ji. He was selected by the emperor from the list of the Ministry of Rites. Although he is not a Hanlin scholar, he can be regarded as a Jinshi. If we really talk about his background, the fellow examiners selected from the Zongren Mansion are not as good as him."

"It's really unexpected that such a bizarre thing happened before the exam started!"

"Stop talking, I have to quickly buy articles from several presidents, vice presidents and fellow examiners."

"Second Master, wait a minute, who is the president and vice president?"

"Master Zhuo Bingtianzhuo, a great scholar, is the president, Master Jia Zhenjia, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Master Shihua, the Zuodu Yushihua of the Duchayuan, Master Sun Baoyuan, the left minister of the Ministry of War, is the vice president. I can't remember the other examiners in the Qing Dynasty, but

Junjie has written it all down, he is waiting at the door, I will leave first."

This time, Master Zhuo, the examiner of the examination, Han Xiufeng, was astonishing.

Because Mr. Zhuo is from Sichuan, he was one of the three first-ranking court officials in Sichuan during the Qing Dynasty for hundreds of years. When I went to the provincial pavilion to pay homage to the provincial government a few years ago, it was Mr. Zhuo who was talked about the most by fellow officials and civil servants. It’s just Mr. Zhuo.

He is already a very popular minister, and there are too many people who want to follow his old man's footsteps. To avoid suspicion, he has not been to the Sichuan Guild Hall for many years.

When he thought about Qian Junchen turning into a fellow examiner, Han Xiufeng's eyes lit up: "Brother Pan, hurry up and chase the second master. Tell him that I have something to do with him!"

"What's the matter?"

"Isn't Qian Junchen an examiner for the same school? His old articles are now valuable. Go and ask the second master if he has them. If so, we will quickly copy dozens of copies and sell them to various provincial and public libraries!
