Chapter 113 Sanyuanji is here!(1/2)

Chapter 113 Three yuan and the third place! (Here it comes! Please vote!)

Lu Yining asked for a favor to Zhang Heng, and Zhao Zhen followed the good example and even cheated to give Zhang Heng the first prize. However, Zhang Heng had no idea at this time.

He probably didn't realize that, although the results of his cooperation with Neizangku at that time were not very good, they were blossoming and bearing fruit in other places. It was a matter of destiny.

The next day was the day when the results were released, Zhang Heng returned to his home next to the Imperial College, and Zhang Shu and his wife came over early to wait together, along with Zeng Youwei and Zeng Xiaokuan.

Not only that, Han Jiang brothers, Lu Gongzu, Wang Gui and others are also here. It is the fastest to wait for the news here. After all, Gongyuan is in the Imperial College.

Zhang Heng's house is just a few hundred meters away. To put it bluntly, if someone farts in the Imperial College, you can smell it here.

As a result, it became a gathering place for many scholars.

Now that Zhang Heng was back, he realized this situation, so he asked Chang Li to send someone early to set up tables and stools, all kinds of fruits, tea, and wine.

For the regular ceremony, a chef was sent over, and a barbecue was set up in the yard, where cheese and dry ice were fried for everyone to eat.

Not only did this matter require no money from Zhang Heng, Chang Li also had to shed tears of gratitude.

Because most of the people gathered here today will be Jinshi.

In the future, these people will be middle-level and above officials in the Song Dynasty. The Fan Tower where he often pays homage will be supported by these people.

Without Zhang Heng, how would Chang Li have the chance to get to know so many Jinshi?

This made Han Jiang and other scholars quite comfortable. They drank tea, ate fruits, and ate barbecue when they were hungry. The sunshine in March was already warm, which just took away the chill from their bodies.

They chatted about the content of the palace examination and predicted who would be the top three this time. Some said it was Yang Zhi, some said it was Han Jiang, and some said it was Wang Gui.

Of course, some people say it’s Zhang Heng. After all, Zhang Juzheng is a man who combines all of Jie Yuan and Hui Yuan. Although it is too difficult to get the third place, but he has won all Jie Yuan and Hui Yuan, so everyone is convinced if he gets the top prize. .

Suddenly hearing the sound of a gong, everyone's bodies couldn't help but tense up, and then each of them deliberately showed a lazy posture to cover up their nervousness, so as not to be said to care too much about fame and so on.

But as the commotion sounded in the distance, everyone still couldn't sit still. They all had thorns under their butts, and they were still chatting. But when Zhang Heng listened carefully, he realized that what they were talking about was nothing. Nutritious um, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, probably all the attention is on the shouting outside.

"...Two hundred and thirty-two students from Mr. Li Gongjie High School in Yongqiu County, Kaifeng Prefecture!"

"...No. 211 of Mr. Zhang Yulin High School in Fenghua, Mingzhou!"

"...one hundred and ninety-nine from Mr. Xu Yi High School in Juzhang County, Yinzhou!"



To be honest, Zhang Heng was also nervous inside. To say he wasn't nervous would be nonsense.

Those who have won the Jinshi title are officials. The status of officials and civilians are very different, and the social classes are completely different. The so-called rise to success is nothing more intuitive than the imperial examination.

There is a line in the child prodigy poem written by Wang Zhu, who was not yet born, that describes him vividly - in the morning he was a farmhouse man, and in the evening he ascended to the emperor's hall.

This difference in status is actually a difference between cloud and mud.

Therefore, in the face of such fate, who can deal with it calmly?

And this kind of tension becomes more and more profound as the ranking gets higher and higher.

Sometimes some of the scholars waiting in the courtyard cheered, and others quickly congratulated them because they were already in high school.

After arriving, Han Zhen, Lu Gongzhu and others were also surrounded by people to congratulate them. They had smiles on their faces, but they couldn't help but feel disappointed, because they had won, but their rankings did not reach the top three.

After reaching the top five, the speed of reporting slowed down.

Zeng Xiaokuan also had a nervous look on his face. He actually got a Jinshi from the back of a trailer, and he was actually quite satisfied.

He is very clear about his own level. If Zhang Heng hadn't guided him, he probably would never have been able to pass the exam, just like his eldest brother Zeng Xiaozong.

It's not that they are not smart, it's mainly because their father is so outstanding that their living environment is too superior and they lack a bit of hard work.

However, he was infected by Zhang Heng's side, so he became serious about his studies, so he passed the exam in one go. If his original destiny was to be followed, he would have to rely on his father, Zeng Gongliang, to become an official.

He mainly felt nervous for his brother-in-law Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng is his brother-in-law and his best friend. To a certain extent, he is still his idol. He hopes that Zhang Heng can go to high school, preferably to be the top scholar!

The higher the expectations, the easier it is to become nervous. When he turned around, he saw Zeng Youwei's calm face. He asked in a low voice: "Youwei, why are you not nervous at all?"

Zeng Youwei smiled and said: "Why should I be nervous?"

Zeng Xiaokuan said: "What if I fail to pass the examination? What if I fail?"

Zeng Youwei smiled and said: "If you fail the exam, you will fail. You will take the exam again next time. Moreover, even if brother Sanlang fails to pass the exam in his life, how can he not become an official with our father here? Even if he does not become an official, he will still have food and clothing for the rest of his life. Don’t worry, there’s nothing to worry about.”

Zeng Xiaokuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are so open-minded, then why did you insist on taking down Ju Zheng before the examination?"

Zeng Youwei smiled and said: "I'm afraid that he is not my man, but what kind of person my man will become is not something I care about. What I want is him, and it has nothing to do with anything else."

Zeng Xiaokuan pouted, well, maybe this girl is his true love. If not, he wouldn't want to control everything about Brother Ju Zheng... Oh, poor Brother Ju Zheng, I don't know what you are getting into. In life.

"...No. 5 in Master Hanjiang High School in Yongqiu County, Kaifeng Prefecture!"

Han Jiang's chest, which had always been held high, suddenly became deflated. On the one hand, she finally felt relieved, and on the other hand, she lamented that she had finally failed to enter the top three.

"...Fourth place in Mr. Wang Anshi High School in Linchuan, Fuzhou!"

Zhang Heng took a quick look and suddenly remembered that Wang Anshi was not here.

"...Third place in Master Wanggui High School in Huayang County, Chengdu Prefecture!"

Everyone immediately became excited and congratulated Wang Gui one after another.

This is the flower hunter.

"...Second place in Yangzhi Laoye High School in Hefei County, Luzhou!"

Everyone was excited and congratulated again.

Immediately, many people looked at Zhang Heng, and Han Jiang said in a deep voice: "You probably haven't heard Brother Ju Zheng's name, right?"

Everyone said no.

Han Jiang said with a smile on his face: "Is it possible that there will be a Sanyuan winner among us?"

"Boom!" There was a sudden commotion in the yard.

"No way, no way! Haha"

"If this is really the case, then we will become famous again!"

"Brother Ju Zheng has always been a man who creates miracles. Will he become a miracle himself today? Will he become a myth?"

...everyone laughed.

There was a clang sound outside, and many people shouted together: "Master Zhang Heng of Jianzhou Pucheng is the number one scholar in the modern family! ... Master Zhang Heng of Jianzhou Pucheng is the number one scholar in the modern family! ... Master Zhang Heng of Pucheng, Jianzhou is the number one scholar in the modern family!" He is the number one scholar in modern science!"

The calls came one after another, gradually getting closer.

Zhang Jun looked at the courtyard gate that had been repaired and asked Zhang Shu in a low voice: "Does our courtyard gate need to be rebuilt?"

Zhang Shu was ecstatic: "Rebuild it, it must be done again! Madam, you can pay for it!"

Zou Qingzhao pursed his lips and smiled and said: "What the master said is that this concubine's body must be cultivated, and it must be cultivated magnificently!"

Zhang Jun sighed in his heart: "I misunderstood the second brother, the second brother is still tough."

All the scholars in the courtyard have gone crazy.

Some people laughed, some cried, some looked disappointed, some had hidden jealousy... There are all kinds of things in the world.

Only Zhang Heng, sitting at the foot of the steps, kept smiling. Even when the lovable person came to the door of the courtyard, his expression did not change much.

However, Zhang Jun immediately called Zhang Shu: "Hurry up, the pleasant person is here, follow me inside and take out the prepared copper coins!"

Zhang Shu and Zhang Kun hurried in and brought out two baskets of copper coins, throwing them out like rain.

Someone set off firecrackers, and the sound of firecrackers resounded inside and outside the yard. Neighbors ran out one by one. When they heard that it was Zhang Jiasanlang who won the first prize, they couldn't help but feel honored: "In our alley, can we ask the Kaifeng government office?" Let’s set up a memorial arch. After all, we have a top scholar here who passed three yuan!”

Someone immediately responded: "It must be established. There is no need for the Yamen to pay for it. I will pay for it!"

Immediately some people were dissatisfied: "This is a happy event for everyone. How come you only contribute, and I contribute half of it."

Another person was dissatisfied: "How can you do half the job, I will also pay..."

"That's right, that's right, we are going to do it too. How can we let you guys monopolize such a happy and beneficial thing!"...

The scholar didn't understand: "How come there are benefits?"

A scholar with rich social experience explained: "As soon as the Sanyuan Ji Di Archway is erected, the housing prices in this alley will skyrocket. If the price is twice as high, there will probably be a lot of people asking for it. Do you believe it?"

The scholar couldn't help but gasped: "Are these people stupid?"

Zhang Heng just smiled when he heard this.

Someone yelled: "Brother Ju Zheng, today you have passed the third yuan, why don't you write a poem or say a few words?"

Suddenly more people started to boo, Zhang Heng smiled, raised his voice and said: "Writing poetry is out of the question, just talk about how you feel in your heart..."

Zhang Heng was very moved and said: "...Others carry swords, but I have a pen like a knife. I am a farmer in the morning, and I ascend to the emperor's hall in the evening. I am inferior in everything, but I am good at reading!"

Brother Nian, the nobles in this court are full of scholars! Those who have passed the exam must not slack off, and look forward to being purple one day. Those who have not passed the exam, please continue to work hard!"

Suddenly the scholars felt proud.

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "There's nothing else to say. I'm hosting a banquet at Fan Tower tonight. Let's go together. I'll treat you!"

Suddenly there was a burst of howling ghosts and wolves in the yard.
