Chapter 146 Title on the gold list!

Soon it will be the fifth day of March.

On the day when the results were released, everyone's eyes were focused on Gongyuan and the gold list.

In this era, nothing is more important than being named on the gold medal list. Everything is of inferior quality, but reading is the only thing that is high. These are definitely not words used by those scholars to boast about themselves.

If you study, you can become an official, and if you become an official, you can become a master. This is a fact that everyone knows in this world. Officials are officials, and people are people. There is an invisible line between the two, but everyone can feel it.

There is a huge gap between officials and the people.

Officials sitting high in the clouds can decide life and death with just one word. They can decide the life and death of those people who are humble enough to be buried in the soil with just one word. No matter how rich the people are and how much wealth they have accumulated,

Even if you say that you have broken the sky, you are just a pariah.

If the official looks down on you, he may collude with you as an official or businessman. If he meets someone with a cruel heart, or if he doesn't like you, just one word can destroy your family and your family.

Teach you that a lifetime of hard work will turn into a dream overnight; teach you that you will never recover; teach you that you regret coming to this world.

Xia Yuan initially thought about becoming a businessman, but now he feels that his idea is ridiculous, but it is not ridiculous at all, more of a helpless feeling.

After all, he didn't even think that he would be able to pass the exam or become a Jinshi.

As a modern person, a modern person who has just arrived, I have only one impression of stereotypes. This thing is a huge pit.

Since ancient times, many extremely smart and talented people have stumbled on this and cannot get up.

The difficulty of this thing is that it is not only difficult, but also rare and weird. It does not mean that you can pass the exam if you read well. It depends on luck, luck, and whether your article can catch the eye of the examiner.

How many scholars are there in the world?

How many people can be named on the gold list?

Ninety-nine percent of people are poor, and Hao Jing will only be a poor scholar throughout his life. He is not even a scholar, he is just an old boy. Otherwise, where would Kong Yiji be?

Anyone who travels back to ancient times from modern times and has heard of stereotypes will most likely not have confidence in the legendary stereotypes. I thought I'd better find another way out, otherwise I will spend my whole life in vain and waste my time.

There is no guarantee that I am not another Kong Yiji.

Xia Yuan thought the same way at that time. As for now, he didn't know he had a cheat at that time.

When we arrived at the gate of Gongyuan, there was already a sea of ​​people here, and the lists had already been posted. Xia Yuan specially picked them up today. He thought that the lists were almost all posted, but he didn't expect that there were only three lists, the first list and the middle list.

, and the bottom list.

I don't know if my name is on the list.

This roaring crowd was countless times larger than that of the original provincial examination. Everywhere you could see there were people.

People crowded around, pushed people around, some of them brought their servants to see the list, some were idlers waiting to announce the good news, and some were sergeants who maintained order.

This situation is even more exaggerated than the holiday scenic spots in modern society.

They couldn't squeeze in at all, and they had no intention of squeezing in. A few people just stood outside. Xia Yuan held Zhao Yuerong's little hand tightly, for fear of losing his wife if he didn't pay attention.

Fortunately, at the place closest to the list, someone shouted the names and birthplaces on the list over and over again, ensuring that even the invisible candidates would know the news of their passing the examination.

And along with the repeated roll calls, people in the crowd would dance or cry loudly from time to time.

"Haha, I won, I won, father, son won."

Someone suddenly shouted not far away. Xia Yuan was startled by the sound. He looked closely and saw that he was a middle-aged man in his forties.

And this person's ranking seems to be seventy-three. No matter how many names he has, he is still a tribute scholar. He only needs to pass the palace examination, and he will be born with the same rank as a Jinshi at last, and then he can become an official.

Thousands of these people have spent ten years in poverty, burning the midnight oil and studying hard every night. Everyone regards reading as the most important thing, but there are a few people who read simply for the purpose of reading and seeking knowledge. There may be such people, but there are more

Most of them are just for seeking official positions.

Nowadays, it is normal to cry and laugh when you succeed.

Xia Ru was also watching intently, as if he was crazy.

With a solitary lamp as my companion, there is only one lonely figure in the room. Under the dim lamp, holding a book and reading over and over again, I will not feel bored, because I no longer know what boring feels like, only the indescribable loneliness and melancholy.

Throw everything behind, only the words of saints remain in your eyes, and your mind is filled with reading and passing exams.

He seemed to be able to feel the experience of the crying man, because this was his previous experience.

After looking at it intently for a long time, Xia Ru finally looked away and sighed: "If I were to take part in this provincial examination and learn that I had passed the exam among the seventy-three, I would probably be even worse than this person."

Xia Yuan, who was next to him, heard his sigh and couldn't help turning his head to look at him. Xia Ru was puzzled by his look, "Brother Yuan, why are you staring at me like this?"

"Oh, nothing."

Xia Yuan's lips twitched a few times and then turned his head back. He decided not to say anything about uncle. You are worrying too much. If you had passed the exam, you wouldn't have looked at the results at all.

There was another faint sound of gongs and drums. This was the tiger list, or the land list, which was posted. The red paper with names on it was peeled off, and at the same time, the names on the list were read out loud.

There were only ten names in total. The list was read out very quickly, and the person in charge of roll call repeated it again.

Xia Yuan has confirmed that his name is not on the list.

The remaining three lists seemed to be missing. As for the remaining Heavenly List that had not yet been released, he could not even think about it. There were only three names on it, and they were the top three in this competition.

Obviously, Xia Ru's twenty taels of silver were wasted, and he was even worse off. He lost ten taels of gold, which was reduced to a hundred taels of silver.

There was also a hint of worry in Xia Ru's eyes. It wasn't that he felt sorry for Yinzi, but that these four lists were out, but he still didn't hear his nephew's name. Doesn't that mean there is a high probability that he failed the list?

As for getting in the top three, this idea is too good. Xia Ru would never dare to think like this. It has been more than a hundred years since the Ming Dynasty started to obtain scholars. Let alone the top three, even the top ten in almost every examination.

Even the top twenty were taken over by southern scholars, while there were very few northern scholars, so few that the northern scholars themselves had no confidence in it.

"Brother Yuan, think of the bright side in everything. Maybe you will get into the top three in this exam."

With this thought in his mind, Xia Ru still managed to cheer himself up. After a pause, he added: "It doesn't matter even if you fail the exam this time. Just come back in three years. After all, you are still young.

, I’m only about eighteen years old.”

Hearing the words "He came here again after three years", Xia Yuan's whole body was excited. He didn't bother to listen to the rest of the words. He concentrated on listening to the announcement of the person in front of the list.

The top list, the first list, the middle list, and the last list are read in a cyclic manner, plus more than 200 people. Maybe my name was read just now, but I just didn't hear it clearly.

This possibility is not impossible.

Xia Yuan listened very carefully. Just halfway through, there was another faint sound of gongs and drums, which meant that the last list of heavenly names was finally posted.

There was no other way, Xia Yuan could only sigh and wait for the day's list to be read out before listening to the person who read the list read out the remaining lists.

"Congratulations to Master Kang Haikang for third place in martial arts high school!"

“Congratulations to Mr. Li Tingxiang of Puzhou for taking second place in Senior High School!”

"Congratulations. Beizhili Xia Yuan Xia Master High School is ranked first!"

The names on the list were read out one by one that day, and the surrounding crowd burst into cheers. Xia Yuan was stunned, what did he just hear?
Chapter completed!
