Chapter 148 Middle Lift
Hujiang was still in shock and saw dead bodies all over the ground, and realized that he could have escaped from death. Fortunately, Yang Qiuchi was in good command, not only did he get rid of danger, but also made such a great contribution, which was incomparable to the discovery of the old scholar's death in the Gongyuan case.
He took the prisoners back to Nanshao Village and looked for the two guard sentries, but they had been killed by the remaining Jianwen party's siege attack.
Hu Jiang asked Mili to send Minzhuang back the bodies of the Jianwen remnants, then sorted out the official roads and restored traffic. Afterwards, Yang Qiuchi and others returned to the capital Yingtian Prefecture through Chuzhou City.
On the way, two more injured Jianwen remnants died. After returning to Yingtian Mansion, Yang Qiuchi asked Nangong Xiong to take the rest of Jianwen remnants to Ma Du and others for handling, and notified them to go to Beishao Village to retrieve the bodies of the Jianwen remnants.
Ma Du and Niu Baihu knew that Yang Qiuchi led his team to annihilate more than 100 Jianwen's remnants in one fell swoop, and they were all surprised and congratulated him on making new contributions.
Hu Jiang escorted Zhao Banxian to Yingtian Prefecture's yamen to report the case. The prefect of Yingtian Prefecture Gu did not expect that Yang Qiuchi had solved the case of the old scholar's death in the tribute court in just two days. The emperor had already asked about this matter, and he was worried about how to deal with the work. Now he was fine, and he was full of gratitude for Yang Qiuchi.
Gu Fuyin immediately told the news to the head of the provincial examination Jia Hanlin. Jia Hanlin also breathed a sigh of relief. This matter can be said to have been completely resolved.
The two also learned from Hu Jiang that Yang Qiuchi also led a team to annihilate the remnants of Jianwen's party. They were happy and admired Yang Qiuchi even more.
This time, Yang Qiuchi was the help of Lord Gu, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture. Therefore, Lord Gu held a banquet to entertain Yang Qiuchi and Jia Hanlin accompanied him. He originally wanted to invite other dignitaries from Yingtian Prefecture to attend. Yang Qiuchi thought that Eunuch Li repeatedly asked him to keep a low profile. Before the Jianwen Remnant Party Case was finally completed, I am afraid he could not be too arrogant.
At Yang Qiuchi's request, he only invited Madu and Niu Baihu to celebrate with a small amount.
After the case was solved, Yang Qiuchi became a regular visitor to Jia Hanlin and Gu Lord's Mansion. He often drank until late at night and did not return without getting drunk.
A few days later, one night, Eunuch Li and his entourage came to visit late at night, praising Yang Qiuchi's missed attempt to hijack the concubine of Xian, saying that the emperor was very satisfied with it. However, given that Yang Qiuchi wanted to continue to secretly detect the Jianwen remnant case. He could not be promoted to the title for the time being, but the emperor had already recorded his contribution and arrested Jianwen and completely cracked the Jianwen remnant case.
Although he could not be promoted, the emperor still rewarded Yang Qiuchi with gold, silver and jewelry, agate and jade, silk and satin for several large boxes of land for commendation.
In this battle, two people died in Yang Qiuchi's guard team. Eunuch Li sent two more to Yang Qiuchi to supplement it. He also returned the pigeons that Yang Qiuchi had sent a letter to Yang Qiuchi last time, and guaranteed that he had at least two carrier pigeons in his hand.
Eunuch Li also told Yang Qiuchi that the results would be announced in a few days. At that time, the juren’s general selection could be carried out. However, Yang Qiuchi did not have to participate in the general selection in person, as arranged by the Eunuch Li Association. Yang Qiuchi only needs to wait for the appointment of the Ministry of Personnel. After the Spring Festival, Yang Qiuchi can take office.
Yang Qiuchi really wanted to ask where he would become an official and what official he would be, so as to determine how far he would be from Mrs. Bai and Bai Sumei and her daughter. However, he had learned to endure now. Since Eunuch Li didn't say it, he wouldn't ask. Anyway, he would know in a few days.
The rest of the days were very relaxed, and I was drunk and dreaming all day long, and I was singing every night.
Early in the morning of that day, Yang Qiuchi was still sleeping, and heard the sound of firecrackers outside the door, deafening and melodious sound of suona mixed with the sound of melodious and pleasant sounds of Yang Qiuchi woke up from his sleep. He was so angry that he cursed, and suddenly pulled the quilt over his head, covering his head, and wanted to continue sleeping.
Yang Qiuchi thought that someone's family was marrying a wife and setting firecrackers, but he immediately knew something was wrong. He had been living in the inner courtyard of Qianhu Institution in Madu for a while. He would never marry a wife in the Jinyiwei yamen. Could it be...
Yang Qiuchi sat up from the bed, and the sound of firecrackers was indeed getting closer and closer, coming towards his residence. ■The sound of arrogance, the sound of gongs and drums sounded in a whole circle.
At this moment, Song Yuner lifted the curtain and ran in, suddenly pounced on Yang Qiuchi's bed, and shouted excitedly: "Brother! You have really been a juren!" He stretched out his hands to grab Yang Qiuchi's shoulders, and shook happily.
Seeing that the crazy girl rushed into her room without any scruples, Yang Qiuchi's first reaction was to look down to see if he was wearing underwear.
He had no choice but to do anything to Song Yuner. This crazy girl didn't care about the difference between men and women. She often roamed Yang Qiuchi's room these days. Fortunately, Yang Qiuchi knew that Song Yuner had this hobby of making trouble, and his wife and concubines were not around, so she didn't have to take off all her clothes, so Yang Qiuchi sleeps in close-fitting clothes these days.
After checking, I found that there was no spring scenery leaking out, so I breathed a sigh of relief and recalled Song Yuner's words just now - the Juren? Haha, the firecracker, suona and gongs really came to report the good news to the Juren, but it was indeed not as expected! Hahaha.
Although Yang Qiuchi already knew that this was a foregone conclusion, he was still very excited after knowing that he had been a juren.
After turning over and getting out of bed to put on clothes, Song Yuner did not avoid it, and was still there happily shouting: "Brother, you are really amazing! You haven't read the books well for a day, and you're also a juren. It's so amazing!"
Yang Qiuchi grinned and blinked at Song Yuner: "Yun'er, don't forget to make a bet!"
Song Yuner smiled: "Don't worry, keep your word! My brother passed the exam and said, so I should do something for you." At this point, he stretched out his right hand casually, rolled up his sleeves, revealing his slender hands like white lotus roots: "Okay, tell me, do you want my arms or my head?"
Yang Qiuchi had already tidied up his clothes, walked to Song Yuner, and said with a wicked smile: "I want you as a person!"
"Ah~?" Song Yuner shouted in surprise: "What? Do you want me?" He repeated it, and his face turned red with shame and lowered his head.
Seeing her expression, Yang Qiuchi knew that she had misunderstood and could not make a joke. He quickly said, "Yun'er, what I mean is, I want you to be my bodyguard and accompany me to serve as an official. Protect me personally. OK?"
Only then did Song Yuner understand what Yang Qiuchi said to be her. She gave him a blank look and felt a little disappointed, but then she thought that Yang Qiuchi asked him to be his personal guard and accompany him to be an official, and could be with Yang Qiuchi forever. That was enough, so she became happy again.
After understanding this, Song Yuner nodded and pretended to sigh: "Okay. Who told me to lose on bet? Since you asked me to be your bodyguard, you are willing to accept the loss. You have to agree."
Yang Qiuchi was overjoyed and grabbed Song Yuner's hand and said, "Don't worry. Yuner, I will treat you well and will not let you suffer." When he said this, he always felt strange, as if he was talking to his lover, and quickly explained, "I mean, it won't be very hard for you to be my bodyguard."
Song Yuner had already heard the meaning of his words, and felt a little sweet in her heart, and smiled charmingly: "It's good, I don't know if my father and mother agree."
When he heard this, Yang Qiuchi was slightly stunned. He had never thought about this carefully. At that time, he just felt that if he went to the southwest to become an official, he would feel very uncomfortable if he couldn't see Yun'er. Over the past few days, he felt very comfortable with her and couldn't bear to separate, so he deliberately made this bet.
Song Yuner smiled and said, "Brother, although I agreed, if my parents don't agree, then I can't do anything about it?" Seeing that Yang Qiuchi looked bad, he knew that he actually cared about him very much. He was happy in his heart, and then continued, "But, parents and they value you very much. I have grown up. If you ask me to be a bodyguard, they will agree."
Yang Qiuchi nodded happily, thinking that I hope this is the case, and it is useless to be anxious now. The couple of Magistrate Song and his wife had to wait until they went back to do their ideological work.
Yang Qiuchi packed up his clothes and walked to the door. He saw that the yard was full of people. Ma Du and Niu Baihu saw Yang Qiuchi come out and bowed to him to congratulate him.
A person who specializes in reporting good news and rewards to others. When he saw Yang Qiuchi come out, two Jinyiwei masters congratulated him. He immediately guessed that this person was a juren. He quickly knelt down and handed over the report, saying that he was a ruler.
Yang Qiuchi smiled and took the newspaper, and saw it read: "Good news from Yang Qiuchi, the master of the noble family, Ying Enke, Yingtianfu provincial examination in the capital, and the 250th high school juren."
Yang Qiuchi was stunned, laughed and cried, and cursed inwardly: What the hell is this Eunuch Li? Why did he win the 250th place in himself? Two hundred and fifteenth place? You are only two hundred and fifteenth place!
However, for this ancient imperial examination, I was really a 25-year-old. Anyway, this juren fell from the sky, so 25-year-old is about 25-year-old.
After rewarding the applicant, everyone discussed how to celebrate. Ma Du and Niu Baihu had not passed the exam, and they did not know the rules. Yang Qiuchi remembered that in the middle school textbook, "The Third Level" said that those who passed the exam had to go to the examiner as their teacher, and they were considered his students. Zhang Haogu did not go to the teacher after entering the exam, but the two examiners had to go to see him.
Since that's the case, then go and find the examiner Jia Hanlin, the chief examiner. He is a very old man, and is a senior intellectual, and he doesn't wrongly accuse himself of being a teacher. He has been with them all these days, and he is also an old acquaintance, and he is both a teacher and a friend.
Yang Qiuchi prepared several gifts and asked Nangong Xiong and other guards to take them to Jia Hanlin's house to become disciples.
For Madu and Niu Baihu, Yang Qiuchi's juren was a big deal, so of course they had to be busy with the wedding first. So, after hearing Yang Qiuchi said he wanted to go to find Jia Hanlin to serve as a teacher, of course he went with him.
Yang Qiuchi wanted to check out the provincial examination results first. This thing is equivalent to a university admission notice, so you must check it out.
This normal provincial examination was in September, and the fragrance of osmanthus flowers was in full swing, so it was also called "Gui Bang". However, this Enke provincial examination was in December, so I don't know what it should be called.
The list of places released was posted next to the gate of the Gongyuan. Yang Qiuchi found his name in the 250th place without much effort. Although this ranking was too ugly, he was a juren.
The difficulty of this provincial examination is much more difficult than the current college entrance examination, and the admission quota in each province is limited. Therefore, Yang Qiuchi is happier than receiving the admission notice from key medical universities that year.
After reading the list, Yang Qiuchi and others came to Jia Hanlin's house. There were already a lot of people at the door, and they all came to worship teachers after passing the exam. They were all happy to meet each other. Since they were all the same year, they were particularly intimate. But in addition to being polite, they were comparing with each other's rankings, which was similar to those of college students today.
These people have already handed the visitor posts to Jia Hanlin's mansion and are waiting to go in and meet each other.
Yang Qiuchi was a regular visitor to Jia Hanlin's family during this period and he didn't have to submit a message. However, he rarely saw such a scene and was not in a hurry to go in. He started chatting with them at the door. He heard these scholars dropping their books and writing, and they thought it was quite fun.
Among these people, the scholar Lu Xueru who died in the Gongyuan that day, and Yang Qiuchi was present when he was investigating the body, he knew Yang Qiuchi. After asking, he knew that Yang Qiuchi, a regular supervisor who relied on donating funds to support education, had also passed the imperial examination. He was surprised and admired him. In addition, they also knew that Yang Qiuchi had an unusual relationship with the examiner Jia Hanlin that day, and even got close to each other and exchanged prayers.
This prayer is equivalent to the current business card. Yang Qiuchi has been running around here and there during this period, so there are many preparations for this prayer. They are all kept by the guard leader Nangong Xiong.
After changing a lot of prayer posts, they competed with each other to win the rankings. This made Yang Qiuchi embarrassed. Although he didn't know if there was any explanation for these 25 in ancient times, he was still a little embarrassed. However, thinking that he had not written a single word and had not read the Four Books and Five Classics, he could be a high school scholar. Compared with the juren who had worked hard for ten years, he should be content.
Yang Qiuchi and others went directly into Jia Hanlin's house without even having to queue up, which made the juren even more envious and jealous.
The concierge led them to the hall and ran to inform them.
After waiting for a while, Jia Hanlin walked over with a smile. Seeing Yang Qiuchi, he bowed to him from afar. Yang Qiuchi hurriedly returned the gift and asked Nangong Xiong to give the gift.
Jia Hanlin did not postpone it, this is the rule. However, Jia Hanlin suggested that he hold an easter and hold a banquet to celebrate Yang Qiuchi today. Yang Qiuchi of course agreed.
Jia Hanlin asked the concierge to notify the juren outside, saying that the candidate will not see the guests today and will come again tomorrow.
