Chapter 74: Announcement (Part 2)
Chapter 74: Release (Part 2)
After Fangxin moved, Ning Boqiu still lived there. The list was opened in three days. He naturally knew that, but he was already thirty-three, and naturally looked at this future. He also knew that if he didn't win, he would not win in this life. How could he be surprised?
On the morning of the day when the list was released, Ning Boqiu's heart was already burning. At this time, even the shadows of Fang Xin and Lan Ji disappeared. After a while, it was just that the end of the day and the end were circling.
After hesitating for a while, he instructed the owner, "Please stew me a chicken, and have another pot of wine!"
The owner also knew that the results were released today, so he responded quickly, killed one of his hens, and stewed them for him. After an hour, the chicken was stewed with fragrant wine and brought them up together. Ning Boqiu sat down quickly, took a sip, and then thought blankly: "I wonder if there will be such blessings in the future, and I will eat this chicken every day!"
After thinking about it, I wiped the corners of my eyes, put the chopsticks inside, tore out a piece of chicken, and ate it slowly.
When the Gongyuan salute sounded, the whole city could hear it faintly. Ning Boqiu's hand shook and the chopsticks almost fell to the ground.
I remembered it a few times, and after sitting for a while, I suddenly became ruthless, and then sat down, ate meat and drank wine, thinking: "Anyway, this list has been posted, and it is decided whether it is a blessing in this life!"
I asked in my heart, burst into tears without realizing it, and even more ate.
After another half an hour, I was already drunk, but I felt extremely awake in my heart. A kind of despair rose up. I looked at the remaining soup with a wry smile and was about to get up and fall asleep.
At this moment, I heard only the sound of gongs and stopped from outside the door.
Ning Boqiu stood up suddenly. Because he was too fast, he turned over the table halfway. He ignored it and stepped out, waiting in the yard. Sure enough, the group rushed in: "Who is Mr. Ning? Congratulations on high school."
Ning Boqiu shook immediately and almost fainted, but this man had some ability. He forced himself to calm down in a blink of an eye and said, "I am Ning Boqiu."
"So you are Mr. Ning. You will be awarded the red paper newspaper. You are defeated."
Ning Boqiu was forced to calm down at this time, and he couldn't help but step forward in two steps. He took the red paper newspaper post, his hands were shaking and his eyes were dazzled. He couldn't see the words clearly for a while. After a while, he saw it: "Ning Hui Boqiu, the master of Jiebaofu, is the 50th place in the third list of Encyclopedia of the Corning Province in high school, and the Beijing News was ranked in the yellow class."
Ning Boqiu read it once and read it again before laughing, saying, "Ah, it turns out that I finally got it."
I was confused and didn't know what to say. When the person who reported the news asked for the wedding, he took out half of the remaining ten taels of silver from his room and sent it down.
As soon as I sent it down, I saw the shop owner who was usually a little disdainful, so I brought my friends to come and bow to him: "I'll congratulate the new master."
"Get up, I was in the store before, and I took care of you." Ning Boqiu woke up a little and said.
After a few moments, someone came outside again. Ning Boqiu looked over and said that it was the usury who had been forced to pay the debt the day before yesterday. The leader was Yan Laowu, who was like a vicious person. At this time, he smiled with a rich face and went forward to bow and said, "I'll congratulate the new master, I hope he won't care about the past."
As he said that, he presented a letter of silver, which was exactly fifty taels.
Ning Boqiu sneered, but he was also relieved, and said lightly: "Forget it, it's fine to see you waiting for this feeling, get up and talk!"
At this time, without his instructions, the guys naturally rushed to clean his room, put the red paper newspapers in the middle, and immediately brought a banquet, dishes and other dishes to serve.
After a while of busyness, Ning Boqiu was able to return to the room. He looked around, sat down again, and drank with wine. At this time, his mood was completely different.
When the ecstasy came, Ning Boqiu gradually woke up.
The 50-ranked Juren on the list of three, no matter what, he is already a Juren. From then on, he will be an official. When he sees the county magistrate, he can bow and bow deeply when he sees the prefect, and there is no need to kneel down.
But he also knew that he was thirty-three years old and was not old among the juren, but he was not very young. He went to Beijing to take the exam and competed for the 120 juren with the elite students in the world. It was really difficult to reach the sky. No matter in background, age, and talent, it was basically impossible.
"In this way, I can only be directly awarded an official?" Ning Boqiu thought.
Although scholars can be supplemented with minor officials from the ninth rank, they also have to queue up for qualifications. Juren is a serious official. According to laws and regulations, Juren can be directly supplemented with eighth rank, while on two or three ranks, they are all from the ninth rank.
The nine-rank official is not small anymore. The inspector (public security bureau director), warehouse (public security bureau director), household resident (public registration bureau director), Tian Cao (public security bureau director), and judicial prison guard in a county are just this position.
Going up again, there are officials of the eighth rank, such as the county magistrate and the lord. These two officials, one in charge of military affairs, are under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate, but they are restrained by each other. As for the second, they are the seventh rank county magistrate. This official has no real power, which is equivalent to being an alternate county magistrate and generally cannot interfere in political affairs.
Now in a county in Dachu, there are tens of thousands of people, and the most are hundreds of thousands of people. Therefore, the ninth rank official is not as low as ordinary people think. He immediately made up his mind and went to the provincial chief to make up his official position after the greetings were completed.
Thinking of this, he remembered Fang Xin. Thinking of the young man who was only sixteen years old and calm, and Lan Ji's infinitely beautiful body, he couldn't help but feel a heat in his heart and his eyes became dark: "I wonder if you've been beaten?"
But at this time, Fang Xin had to be busy and went to see Mr. Fang Zhao Yangbin first.
In fact, now, everything has unspoken rules. For example, on the day of the list, the one who can visit Zhao Yangbin is the first-rank juren, and the second day is the second-rank juren, and on the third day, the third-rank juren.
Fang Xin was very decent. After asking about the rules, he knew that he could give away silver, but he should not give it too much. Generally, a hundred taels were the limit. He immediately sealed a hundred taels of silver, presented twenty pieces of silk, and then gave him a new word and pasted a volume.
There were only ten people on the list. Zhao Yangbin met these ten new scholars in the temporary official residence.
This is a large courtyard with a huge main entrance and a deep inner gate. It is a seven-column hall, arranged majestic. After signing up, I entered the inner hall and put a stove inside. When I entered, I felt a warmth.
Since it was temporary, naturally, I would not be too careful. After waiting for ten people to celebrate the apprenticeship ceremony and pay homage to Mr. Zhao Yangbin, Zhao Yangbin smiled faintly and said, "You are all new juren. In the future, the imperial court ordered officials to get up!"
"Teacher, thank you!" All ten people bowed for a while before getting up.
Zhao Yangbin looked at it and saw that Qian Ming, the first place, was already thirty-four, and he was the first to be a Juren, and he still had hope of getting a Jinshi in Beijing. The second place was Chu Ying, who was still young, about twenty-five years old, and had great future.
The third place is Fang Xin. Mr. Fang Zhao Yangbin looked at him intently and saw that this son looked respectful but extraordinary. He was only sixteen years old. He could tell that he had given him a generous gift from the person, and he knew that this son was not a noble person. In addition, he was admired by noble people. It seemed that this son was the biggest gain of hosting the exam this time.
As for the seven people, Zou Yusi, Su Ling, Ge Rong, Fan Yu, Fan Fanyu, Yuan Junjing and Liu Bo, they are of different ages and look different. After looking at them, Zhao Yangbin understood it.
However, at this time, the court had a legal system. At that time, they were both cold and cold. They all pointed out a few words and said a few gossips, and then followed the small banquet. This small banquet was really a small banquet, just a little noodles, so that the new recruits could eat it, and thank them.
This was originally decided by Taizu to avoid being too intimate between teachers and students, so the banquet is also called Qingniao. But now, this is of course just a few rules on the scenes.
Fang Xin ate all the noodles, and after leaving the house, he got into the sedan chair.
Yes, according to the rules of the Great Chu, if you don’t have an official position, no matter how much money you have, you will never be able to ride in a sedan chair. The exception is that after the seventies, in order to show respect for the elderly, even the people can ride in a sedan chair.
Now all these juren can ride in sedan chairs, but at this time the difference in wealth was also revealed. Almost everyone of ten people rode in sedan chairs, but the fourth place Zou Yusi had no money for a moment and could only smile embarrassedly, so he had to ride a four-person sedan chair with Fan Yu who was walking the same way.
"Hey!" The four of them lifted the sedan chair and walked on the road. Fang Xin was silent for a long time before sighing softly: "No wonder these people want to be officials. The inadvertent difference is very touching."
After walking for a while, the sedan chair shook for a while and stopped. Someone outside said, "Master, the mansion has arrived."
At this time, Lan Ji also came out. She changed into new clothes and looked happy. Although she had already thanked her just now, she still came forward to congratulate her again.
"Let's go, you'll ride in the sedan chair. Today, we'll go to thank Marquis Lu!" Fang Xin said, "I guess Marquis and Madam will be very happy to see it."
"Yes, lord!" Lan Ji smiled, and another sedan chair came up, so Lan Ji came up. Although the two girls were wearing new clothes, they had to follow behind.
