Chapter 28 One Dollar
The state examination was successfully held. The Tongzong presided over the Jinshi exam and took the exam for three days in a row. Ouyang knew that he had won the prize as soon as he saw the question. He didn't know how Mingqing used the method. This question was no different from what he memorized. It was said that he could cheat in the exam, and he wrote like a god. After three days, Ouyang happily splashed his pen and ink. He really didn't know how to cheat. Others had been studying hard for ten years and studied hard for two hours. Or they said that their friends were full of ways, and there were still people who could get the exam questions.
The Song Dynasty was the first to be an official in the imperial examination. Gao Qiu was not from the imperial examination. No matter how much the emperor liked him, he would not dare to promote him. He could only make up his military achievements. Once he passed the imperial examination, he could participate in the provincial examination in the capital. Even if he failed the provincial examination, he could still go to the Ministry of Personnel to apply for the examination or wait for the honorary examination. If he passed the Jinshi, he would be awarded all officials and no longer had to undergo the assessment of the Ministry of Personnel. The Song Dynasty's preferential treatment for officials was said to be the first dynasty in history.
From a student to a juren, it seems that it is only one step away, but it is the difference between heaven and earth. Juren does not pay any food and taxes. It can be seen that officials do not kneel down, and it is easy to find employment... There are many benefits, so on that day, there were some happy and some sad families in Hangzhou city.
Ouyang and the other two were still having breakfast, and two servants came in with gongs: "May I ask, does Ouyang Ou, the young master in Oujiazhuang, New City live here?"
Ouyang Gang stood up, and the shopkeeper replied first: "That's right, this is Mr. Ou." He had already guessed what was going on.
The servant bowed to Ouyang and said, "Congratulations to the European Union and congratulate the European Union and won the top spot."
Jie Yuan? God... Ouyang almost squirted out breakfast and fainted. God was blind, and he actually became the first place in the state exam. He had a conscience and had no high requirements. He just didn't fail the exam. He felt sorry for Jie Yuan. He felt sorry for the second place. He had to go and see who the unlucky guy was, and comforted him.
Ou Ping on the side was very good at giving a bonus. If Ouyang hadn't been rational and stomped on him, Ou Ping would probably hand over the entire wallet. People around him stood up to congratulate him, and the shopkeeper even brought in pens and ink and asked Ouyang to write a poem on the wall. Ouyang gritted his teeth in front of everyone for a long time and put together a poem: To sacrifice, he dared to change the sun and the moon to a new world. Since ancient times, no one will die in life, leaving his loyalty to shine in history. At the same time, he shouted in his heart: Don't force me, force me to kill me Ouyang, and there are people who will come later.
"Damn it, you can't win the top scorer even if you beat him to death." After slipping back to the guest room, Ouyang was sweating all over. He touched his heart and jumped to death.
The ignorant Ouping rushed in and said, "Young Master, the prefecture has sent a fast horse to Xincheng to report the good news."
"Go on the side!" Xiaoqing brought the tea in: "I didn't see the young master scared."
"Don't talk nonsense, the young master was scared." Ouyang said seriously: "Young master, I am working hard to make up the poem in case it is not needed."
Xiaoqing said: "How good is the young master? No one has ever died in his life since ancient times..."
"Shh! This poem was not written by me, and I must have written by two young masters." Ouyang blushed and said, "Aren't I forced to do this? Alas... I only force a good person to be prostitutes, so how can I force someone to write poetry?"
Xiaoqing said: "Young Master, you have to thank Miss Mingqing."
“That’s natural.”
When Ou Feng arrived in Xincheng, he was overjoyed and personally sent the good news back to Oujiazhuang. When the gentleman heard that Ouyang Zhong knew about Yuan, he sighed in his heart that the talents of the Song Dynasty had withered, and immediately decided to study and participate in the state examination three years later. Uncle was a big banquet for fellow villagers. Not to mention Jie Yuan, even if he won the exam, there was no reason not to invite him. He also specially invited Ouyang's Comet Niang to return to the village. The shadow of escape from marriage left by Ouyang was also directly smoothed out by this good news.
On the night of the imperial examination, there was a chaotic atmosphere in Hangzhou. Xiaoqing looked at the wind and Ou Ping successfully got out. Ouyang went to attend the banquet of the state government and received a reward of ten cents as usual. The magistrate and the magistrate compliments Ouyang Lianlian. Ouyang did not know that the princess had made any statements, so he felt that the two officials were too polite and the atmosphere was strange.
It is not a big problem for Ouyang's exam to be among the top ten, but it is a barely enough to say that the first one is. The officials did not expect that the princess kissed him was still of this level. Naturally, they followed the flow and learned about Ouyang Dian. The so-called joy is this.
The students at the banquet talked about drinking with Ouyang. Ouyang was in so much pain that he was exhausted. Even in the end, he could not even remember the name of a student, and forgot to comfort the unlucky second place.
Mingqing was very happy with Ouyang Zhongju. This not only represents Ouyang Zhongju, but also represents Mingqing herself. You should know that the kao Lun is all Mingqing's work, which is an alternative sense of accomplishment. Ouyang sincerely stated that as long as he finds a place to settle down, he will definitely redeem Mingqing and help her find a good family.
...
Fifty taels of gold were exchanged for 700 guan. Ouyang exchanged 500 of them at the bank for Tokyo flight tickets. The so-called flight tickets are tokens that can be withdrawn from other places. When withdrawing money, you have to say the token code. Of course, it is not a national communication, but can only be a designated city.
If you have money, you have to spend it. Ouyang knows this well. Although a horse is not a good horse, it is barely a tool for transportation. And because it is not a good horse, Ouyang was relieved to let the two little ghosts learn to ride. One person and one horse. Ouyang taught the two step by step in the suburbs of Hangzhou. Ouping, a boy, is still relatively developed in sports. After falling a few times, he can barely drive his horse. As for running... this horse is not successful, and his endurance is good, but he can only trot.
The Northern Song Dynasty also tried to develop the horse breeding industry, but because there was no horse breeding land, the horse mortality rate was very high and the cost was extremely high. Only then did the horses abandon the horses. In addition to a few official horses, the source of horses in the Song Dynasty was mostly from southwest ethnic minorities, and the imperial court gave high prices to win over these ethnic minorities. This also caused the price of private horses to be expensive.
As for Xiaoqing, it was a bit troublesome. If Ouyang hadn't watched from below, he would have fallen into a pig's head. Xiaoqing proposed to give up several times, but Ouyang was very persistent and he was not interested in walking again. Of course, Xiaoqing would ride a horse. She was thinking about the princess and wanted to travel to other prefectures and counties, for fear that Ouyang would arrive in the capital first after having a horse.
Ouyang Bian helped Xiaoqing up the horse and said, "When you fall down, you must first twitch your feet and don't get stuck in the stirrups. It's very dangerous. Clam the horse's belly, collect the reins, and don't do any extra movements, otherwise the horse will receive wrong signals. It is the most uncomfortable for horses to jog. Pay attention to the rhythm of the people and the horse.
"Ah..." Xiaoqing grabbed the horse's belly and fell down again. Ouyang pulled the reins with one hand and half-held Xiaoqing with the other smiled bitterly: "Look at Ou Ping, he has been back and forth in Hangzhou."
Xiaoqing said sadly: "Xiaoqing is stupid..."
"Don't hurry, take your time. However, I've eaten all the tofu when you fell like this. In order to make me take less advantage, you'd better work hard."
Xiaoqing's face turned red immediately, and then she realized that she had had contact with the man many times. She immediately turned over without saying a word, and grabbed the horse's belly and rushed out smoothly.
