Chapter 3 Catching a son-in-law under the list
After copying the strategy, Ouyang Bian got up a little idle. He first finished eating the things and played there for a while. He felt very bored and was about to feel sleepy again. He simply wrapped the quilt and fell asleep again.
When he woke up again, the exam was over. Ouyang Bian was so excited that he handed over the test paper with his name stuck, and walked out with other listless students. As soon as he came out, he saw Ouyang Xiu, Lu Caiwei and others were already looking forward to their heads outside.
Ouyang Bian was stuffed into a carriage and was sent home first. He was originally asked to have a good rest, but Ouyang Bian, who had just woken up, couldn't sleep at all. So he simply burned hot water and took a hot bath. He suddenly felt refreshed.
Ouyang Xiu didn't ask how he was doing in the exam, but just said he would just have a good rest and have a good time to play, and then he went to work.
Ouyang Bian was not idle either, so he ordered Lu Caiwei to free up a large area in Chengyuan, and then began to write invitations.
"Well, the father and son of the Su family, and the brothers of Zeng are naturally invited. Zhang Dun and Zhang Heng are also invited. Well...Who else is there? Lv Huiqing, Wang Shao, Zheng Yong, Liang Tao, Lin Xi, Zhang Qi, Dou Bian, Luo Kai, Deng Kaofu, Wang Hui, Wang Shao, Wang Wujiu, Liu Ku, Liu Yuanyu, Cheng Hao, Jiang Zhiqi, Yang Ji, Zhang Zai, Zhang Qi, Zhu Guangting, hey, it's all in one place, whether it's up to be harmonious or not, let's get along first!"
Ouyang Bian wrote tirelessly that there were students who had visited before. Although I don’t know if they would pass the exam and what level they would do after the exam, they were all the same year, so let’s have a meal together.
It is not difficult to find these students. Most of them are in West Lake City. You can find them by asking someone.
The slaves attached to Ouyang Bian are also smart people, and they are all carefully selected by him, so they are naturally very good at such trivial matters.
The next night, the banquet came a lot of carriages in Chengyuan. I waited at the concentration point of West Lake City, waiting for the invited students to come out and deliver them to Chengyuan in batches.
Before the list was announced, these students were not very enthusiastic. Ouyang Bian was also a well-known person. Although he was younger, his father was the prefect of Kaifeng, the bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, and the head of the literary world. These students were quite flattered when they received the invitation from Ouyang Bian. Except for those who were unable to attend, most of the others were here.
This kind of multi-person gathering is mainly to build a platform. As the host, it is difficult to cover everything. However, Ouyang Bian originally planned to be familiar with him. He stood at the door to welcome guests. Whenever he came, he would ask for his name and exchange a few greetings. He really made him familiar with him.
Some of the poor students were quite enthusiastic because they had received funding from Ouyang Bian before and helped Ouyang Bian welcome guests together.
The banquet was actually only held this time, because there will be many banquets for students in the next round, and there are more than Ouyang Bian who burned the cold stove.
Ouyang Bian just looks familiar with the same year, so as not to be unfamiliar with each other, and even in the same year, he may not know each other until he is old.
After the exam, most students stayed in Bianjing for news, so there were a lot of banquets.
Ouyang Bian was originally quite Buddhist, but when he had thoughts in his mind, he became concerned, and he was quite worried about gains and losses.
Although the policy theory is relatively stable, poetry and classical meaning may not stand out. After all, this is the second year list of Jiayou, the number one in the ages. What is the result of it?
At the end of March, flowers in Bianjing City were in bloom.
Peony flowers, tea plum, pine and red plum, daisy, anthracite, ball orchid, lily of the valley, fragrant, elm leaf plum, peach blossom, gerbera, hyacinth, white crystal chrysanthemum, phalaenopsis, honeysuckle, melon leaf chrysanthemum, melon leaf chrysanthemum, melon leaf chrysanthemum, melon leaf chrysanthemum, all bloom, rendering the city of Bianjing into a sea of flowers.
Jiayou's second-year gold list will be announced soon.
The entire city of Bianjing became anxious.
"The noisy carriages and horses are about to reach the sky, but the list of people who explore the East Hall is already hanging.
There are no golden elves in thousands of miles, but Santai still borrows jade and money.
The words are filled with wine and the shadows are bright and the sun shines, and the shirt is bright and the auspicious colors are bright.
On the pavilion in front of the Twelve Street, who doesn’t look at the gods and immortals?”
This is a poem written by Xu Jie in the Tang Dynasty, called "The Day of the Charter", which depicts the sensation of the whole city when the Charter is released.
This is a description of the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty's announcement is much more lively.
There is no need to say much about the students who are waiting for gains and losses. Those idle people who are preparing to report good news and get rewards are even more agitated. They have already inquired about the students' addresses and are ready to report good news and get rewards to them at any time.
Many wealthy families who are waiting to be called daughters in the boudoir have organized strong slaves to prepare a program that is popular among the people of Bianjing - catching son-in-law below the list.
On March 29, the open space in the east wall of the Gongyuan was surging in the early morning. Not far away were the carriages of many noble families. Next to the carriages were strong slaves, staring at the students wearing Confucian robes.
The students were wearing moon-white Confucian robes, trying to hide the anxiety on their faces and make themselves look calm and composed.
But people who are really calm and gentle generally do not appear here. Of course, most of the people who are waiting in the inn are not really calm and gentle, but people who are good at pretending.
Ouyang Bian is not a pretentious person or a particularly anxious person, but he came to the tribute court not to see the golden list at the first time, but was quite curious about the release of the list.
I have read Fan Jin's articles before, but he found it a bit exaggerated. Today I will see if it is true.
In fact, the article is still relatively low-case.
With a cannon sounded at the Gongyuan, soldiers protected several lists and pasted them from behind to front.
As soon as I pasted the first picture, some people shouted, some were crying, some were covered in tears, and some were crying... These were people who cried with joy. After all, they were just the first one on the list. Those who could see themselves were already on the list.
A brave servant came out and shook his head with Ouyang Bian.
The Su father and son and the Zeng brothers were not panicked, and Ouyang Bian also smiled and nodded.
When the second list was posted, more people became panicked. When the third list went up, some people were already a little nervous.
On the last list, a healthy servant emerged from the crowd, and his muscles on his face were so excited that he was a little distorted.
Ouyang Bian asked: "How?"
Jianpu said excitedly: "The four young masters Zeng are all on the list, the second young master Zeng is Tanhua, the second old master Su is on the list, the eldest young master Su is the second best, and the second young master Su..."
Su Xun snatched: "Where is your young master?"
The pride on Jianpu's face suddenly arose: "Huiyuan! Top 1!"
"Wow!"
"Who is Mr. Zeng Gongzeng?" someone shouted loudly.
Zeng Gong was about to answer, but Ouyang Bian's face changed: "Go away quickly and protect all the young masters!"
The son-in-law is here to catch him!
