Chapter 211 Mr. Jie Yuan
Cheng Yun'an's "serious illness" lingered around him and he was never able to recover.
Hou Wenwu came to visit again, but he was rejected and never came again. The first time he came, Cheng Jinzhou cared about what the court thought, but the second time, he was no longer friendly. said.
After waiting for a few more days, Hou Wenwu couldn't bear it anymore. Above him, he was urged by his subordinates and ministers - they were responsible for supervising the work issued by His Majesty the Emperor - and below by the Cheng family and his sons.
Of course, Mr. Hou could also go to the warehouse to investigate the case himself, but that would be meaningless. In fact, if Cheng Yun'an hadn't been dragged into the chariot, Hou Wenwu wouldn't have wanted to check for any shortcomings.
While the two sides continued to see each other, the provincial examination also began to release the results, the so-called B list.
In the Daxia system, those who were promoted to Jinshi were called "A List", while those who were selected to be promoted to Scholars were called "B List". Therefore, Jinshi can be called a Jinshi with two rankings, but it cannot be called a Jinshi.
As usual, there will be no general examination this year. For students in the capital, the B-list is the most important exam. When the day comes, they all gather in front of the Liyuan gate.
Many gentlemen who did not take the exam will actually come to the ceremony today. The reasons are colorful and thought-provoking. For example, fellow villagers will come to look for new blood, wealthy businessmen will come to recruit son-in-laws, and officials will come to recruit aides.
When a scholar reaches the status of Jinshi, he has almost embarked on the official career. When people meet him, they have to sing and call him "Master". It can be said that he has separated from the ranks of scholars and has become a member of the officialdom.
Therefore, the highest-level scholar that people come into contact with for the longest time is actually Juren. To understand it from the perspective of later generations, one can think of Jinshi as a successful boss, and Juren as an overseas student who returned from New Zealand, or a domestic Ph.D., or a cheater who wasted his time.
Cheng Jinzhou and Meng Dameng Er waited for time in the restaurant in front of the Liyuan. Apart from him, there were many people of all kinds inside.
After the experience of being attacked, he was less willing to get into the crowd.
The waiter brought cold dishes and soju and gave him a strange look. He probably thought Xiao Cheng was too young, but he didn't say anything.
As the time approached, the seats by the window were filled with people, leaving only Cheng Jinzhou sitting leisurely, eating side dishes and dazed.
Several scholars bullied him for his young age, and he couldn't see the situation of the ceremony hall from his position, so he moved over to Cheng Jinzhou's window.
Meng Dameng Er immediately blocked the people, and they bulged their eyes, which had an obvious deterrent effect.
However, today is the day when people are promoted to the top, and it is also the day when scholars are most arrogant. Although some candidates took two steps back, they felt very unhappy in their hearts and started to babble on their lips.
Some people called Cheng Jinzhou "little brother", and some even raised their necks and loudly said: "If you want to see the results of your fathers, just wait later. When our results come out, we will tell you."
Literary people have always been good at using their mouths, especially gentlemen with a good reputation. Due to their criminal privileges, they have countless opportunities to practice, and they put it to use right now.
Without Cheng Jinzhou's instructions, Meng Da grabbed the two who spoke first and stuffed them down the window. Meng Er naturally followed up and grabbed the other people by their necks.
The three-story wooden building is high or low, so it's not likely to kill someone if it falls, but it's normal for a bone to break if it hits the signboard below.
The two students who were held by Meng Er by the collar were frightened to death when they heard the wails below. Their legs were paralyzed and they dragged themselves on the ground. They roared like slaughtering pigs: "We have merit, we have merit." of."
The students were not intimidated, especially those who were farther away. They stood on the stairs and loudly condemned: "The world is peaceful and the world is bright. Why are you beating people in the street?"
"Common people. If you are a noble, just use the title." Cheng Jinzhou stretched his neck to look at the height below and said, "Forget it, just throw it down the stairs. It will break easily below."
The two unlucky boys had already been knocked down.
Meng Dameng Er followed the instructions and pushed the person down the stairs. The people hiding there gave way, and no one stopped him.
Even the victim felt satisfied. The stairs were only one and a half floors, and the bottom was made of wood. Compared with throwing them from the window, the treatment was much improved.
The other people upstairs felt sad, and a few people even paid and left. Anyone with a brain knows that the nobles who dare to be arrogant in Xia Jing are at least children of aristocratic families.
Cheng Jinzhou didn't even look at them, acting as if nothing had happened. The business in the restaurant was really good today, and the vacant seats were quickly filled. Except for some discussions at a few tables far away, others were chatting again.
After a while, the list was hung up, and everyone rushed to the window sill again, but no one went to Cheng Jinzhou again.
I heard someone by the side yell, "It's Mr. Sun who released the list himself."
"Really?"
"That's a good thing."
Each examiner has a different personality. In the imperial examination, different examiners will also have their own habits - which are also what the candidates will focus on.
Sun Gongyou's habit was that he would only release the results in person when he was satisfied. Since he was an official of the Ministry of Rites, he had many opportunities to take the provincial and provincial examinations, so even though he released the results in person almost every time, he would still let the students take it for granted. Tell an anecdote.
As the list was posted, the crowd of green-skinned people quickly dispersed like sparrows upon seeing people.
They want to report information to famous and new guys on the list, so as to earn a lot of reward money.
The gentlemen upstairs were nervous and worried as they complimented each other.
This person said: "Brother Liu, you must be in high school."
That person will immediately reply: "Brother Wang, you must be on the list."
Literati of the past dynasties have invented too many rankings and common expressions for this moment. Everyone greets each other to ensure that they will not be repeated. Some people will even look at Cheng Jinzhou in a discriminatory manner when the results are released. Many scholars will believe that being elected is the first step to escape the oppression of the aristocracy, and that the common people can be on an equal footing with the aristocratic children.
A young man rushed straight up to the restaurant, followed by two other people, but they were obviously not as fast as the people in front.
The gentlemen in the restaurant suddenly stopped talking, waiting for the messenger's steps, and their own hearts were beating faster and faster.
The names on the imperial list are ranked, and their treatment will be different. The sooner they are called, the better.
Cheng Jinzhou curled his lips indifferently. He still looked at the independent trading platform and occasionally contacted people.
In the eyes of everyone, the green-skinned man ran straight towards Cheng Jinzhou, and from a distance of two or three meters, he knelt down on one knee and shouted: "Congratulations to Mr. Cheng Jinzhou for graduating from high school!"
His hand went straight to Cheng Jinzhou's table.
Many people's hearts stopped beating immediately.
The world is so unfair.
…
Beyond the word count: Don’t worry about sudden big changes in the plot, such as planes, etc. The Border Crosser can be seen as a foreshadowing. He will appear, but it does not mean that Cheng Jinzhou will go to other planets, or that more people will come. Readers can find that with Shitori's slow development and promotion of the plot, the plot will never suddenly twist like a stomach cramp.
