Chapter 430
Mrs. Zhao grabbed the person next to her and almost lost her balance.
The eldest brother is the top pick, and the third child is the top pick.
Zhao Mianmian pinched herself, her arm immediately turned red, and she felt real pain in her arm.
"It's not a dream, it's not a dream!"
Everyone in the Zhao family was so happy and confused, but it was Taifu Li who stepped forward and cupped his hands to handle the follow-up matters.
Mr. Yang put his hands on his hips and laughed.
"Set off firecrackers!"
He didn't need to say anything, the boys from the Yang family were already ready.
The firecrackers were set long and could not be broken. The boys consciously found a bunch of firecrackers and stared at them.
The crackling firecrackers sounded, and the children hugged each other, laughing and jumping.
"Big brother!"
"Third brother!"
"Our family is prosperous!"
Zhao Lao Er was even more excited. He opened his mouth and arms and pulled Zhao Lao San and Zhao Lao San together, and the three of them bumped into each other.
Brother Zhao was shocked for a moment, and quickly controlled his inner excitement. Thinking that he should be more stable as the elder brother, he took a few deep breaths and looked at Zhao Laosan.
Zhao Laosan and Zhao Laoer were already hugging each other and spinning around excitedly.
The ears were full of deafening firecrackers, and everyone opened their mouths to say something, but although no one could hear clearly, no one cared.
What words cannot express, express with body.
The adults were more reserved. The girls covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and held hands tightly with those around them. The men's eyebrows were filled with joy and they looked at each other with expressions of surprise that they couldn't hide.
The children expressed themselves in a much more direct way, hugging each other and jumping around, and some running around laughing.
The firecrackers went off for a long time, and the firecrackers were placed all the way to Yang's house.
Many people came to the door of the house and formed a semicircle. They all knew
It is said that the sons and daughters of this family have won the gold medal.
The smoke from the firecrackers floated up, choking violently, and everyone's eyes were a little red, either from choking or excitement.
Because they couldn't see the words on the flag clearly, and couldn't hear the words inside clearly, they all knew that this was the residence where the Zhao family lived.
They were all guessing for a while. When the two Zhao brothers took the exam together, which husband of the Zhao family passed the exam?
Look at this posture, he should be the number one pick!
The gold list in front of the guild hall was also posted at this time.
After passing the imperial examination, there is no need to squeeze in to see the three places in the first class. There will be people holding gongs and singing.
"The number one scholar, Zhao Zhixu."
"Second place on the list, Zhao Benzhu."
"Tanhua, Zhao Yanshan."
The first time it was sung, people who came to see the performance were already exclaiming, and the noise even changed from the sound of gongs.
"Three people named Zhao?"
"Is it that Zhao family?"
"Does anyone know the name of the husband of the Zhao family who is going to take the scientific examination this year?"
"They're all very strange. Whose family does it belong to?"
When this list comes out, not to mention the ordinary people who come to join in the fun.
Even the high-ranking officials and nobles who came to see him were stunned.
Zhao Zhixu and Zhao Yanshan knew that it was almost certain that they would be on the list. After all, both of them were taught by Taifu Li.
But who is the second in the middle?
There is no prominent family named Zhao in the capital.
Where did Zhao Benzhu come from? A relative of the Zhao family?
Especially since he also asked his son to participate in this scientific examination. Forgetting the two brothers taught by the Zhao family's tutor, why were they squeezed out by an unknown person.
The civilians are all sighing that the Zhao family is really powerful.
The high-ranking officials and nobles are rushing to find out what the origin of the second-placed person named Zhao Benzhu is.
under investigation
Zhao Benzhu himself had no idea and was confused at the moment.
The results were released today, and my brother almost didn't sleep all night. He was eager to drag himself to see the results as soon as dawn came.
The sun had just risen, and they had to light up lanterns when walking. As soon as the two of them came out of the alley, they saw carriages passing one after another on the street. The place they lived in was inside Xuanwu Gate, and just out of the alley was Xuanwu Street. Going further It's the club where the rankings are released.
Standing at the far side of the road, carriages were passing by, and some civilians were running forward in groups, trying to be the first to see the list and join in the fun.
The casino is really blocked. Overwhelming the Zhao family, which is the most popular this year, what ranking can the two men take part in the scientific examination?
The list was released today, and there were a lot of people coming.
I didn’t even see the guild hall flag, and the road was already congested.
Both brothers had experienced being blocked in front of the examination room. They looked at each other in silence for a while and decided not to squeeze in.
Zhao Benzhu followed his brother back happily, with a peaceful mind.
"Brother, I know my level."
"I should be in the second grade, and I'm not very good-looking either."
Zhao Liangcai heard what his younger brother said and thought it was true. His younger brother had been smart since he was a child, and his knowledge was among the best in his hometown. The dean of the academy, who was once a prostitute, came to the family and wanted to accept his younger brother as a disciple. His younger brother's path to the scientific examination It's always been smooth sailing, it's all just one time.
There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the capital. It is still a bit difficult for my younger brother to get the Jinshi rank. Instead of fighting for the first place, it is a good thing to get the second place.
Besides, my younger brother is still young, not yet twenty.
"Okay! Let's go back and celebrate!"
Even though he had not slept all night, Zhao Liangcai was not sleepy at all, so the restaurants were not open right now, otherwise
Now I have to buy delicious food and go back to pair it with fine wine. Let’s celebrate first!
The two brothers returned to the yard again. When passing by the gate of the neighboring house, they saw a young man standing at the door looking towards the entrance of the alley.
When he saw the two brothers coming back, he smiled at them and quickly stepped forward to salute.
"Did you two gentlemen go to the guild hall to see the gold medal list?"
Zhao Liangcai smiled and nodded, knowing that there was a father and son living in the next door yard. The father also participated in the scientific examination this time. According to his younger brother, he was still a powerful person.
"There are so many people that they are almost blocking the Xuanwu Gate."
"We didn't even see the clubhouse and couldn't squeeze in, so we came back."
The young man was a little disappointed. He thought he could know it in advance.
Zhao Liangcai still held a lantern in his hand, "The results haven't been released yet. When you hear the sound of firecrackers from some house, the results should be released soon."
The first three people will send people to congratulate them in advance. After congratulating them, it's time to release the results.
The young man became happy again, exclaimed, and continued to look towards the entrance of the alley.
Looking at Zhao Liangcai, he didn't look like he was waiting for someone to pass by and ask about the list of gold medals, but more like he was waiting for someone to congratulate him.
However, Wang Langjun, who lived next door, was indeed capable. When he was making friends with merchants in the capital, he had heard of Wang Langjun from Lin'an City, whose poems were excellent.
Most of the poems that were widely sung in the capital were written by Wang Langjun.
He didn't understand that it was a poem, so he memorized it and went home to ask his brother.
The younger brother praised him lavishly, saying that he was truly a talented person who could excel in poetry.
I heard that these were circulated from some poetry gatherings and banquets, and I frowned and felt worried.
The scientific examination is about to take place, so it is not the right time to use poetry to become famous.
It’s already the time of spring. Frequently
If you attend a poetry meeting, do you still have time to review your lessons?
Zhao Liangcai didn't understand, so he only asked his younger brother to concentrate on studying. As for his neighbor, he had almost no contact with them and had nothing to do with them.
