Chapter 2394 exam

Seeing Man Bao, Bai Dalang couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you go home and rest?"

Bai Erlang sat down next to his brother and said, "Going home is a rest, and eating and drinking in a teahouse is also a rest. It's better to stay here, it's not fun at home."

Bai Shan brought Man Bao a cup of tea and explained with a smile, "Today is the last day, so let's take a look, just waiting for Liu Huan to come out."

In fact, there were a lot of people waiting for the candidates to come out in the cafeteria, but half of them were watching the fun, and the other half came with other ideas, but there were not many relatives who were really anxiously waiting.

Most of the relatives were squatting not far from the entrance of the Gongyuan at this time, as if they were a little closer to the examination room, and the relatives inside could feel their strength in passing the examination.

Listening to the storytellers and the constant applause downstairs, Man Bao felt much better.

Bai Shan called the guy to order a lot of dishes for her to eat. When she was full and sat by the window with a cup of tea and watched the guests arriving downstairs, there was a loud bang from the Gongyuan. , Bai Shan also put down the teacup in his hand and said, "They are coming out."

Man Bao immediately said, "Let's go, we'll pick them up."

They went downstairs to hear the second gong, and when they reached the gate of the Gongyuan, the third sound happened, and the gate of the Gongyuan was slowly opened.

The candidates inside filed out.

Among them were many of their acquaintances, including Wei Chen, Song Zheng and Ji Hao, as well as less familiar students from the Guozijian, Yun Xinxuan, Feng Chenxiang and Zhang Jinghao.

As soon as they came out, the servants at home rushed up to pick them up.

Liu Huan had the most people around, because his home was in the capital. Not only did the servants come, but also a lot of servants, including Bai Shan and the others, surrounded Liu Huan at once.

"How was the test?"

"Have you answered all of them?"

"Is the question difficult?"

Because Liu Huan and Bai Dalang's uncle Changheng entered the examination room together, they happened to be not far from each other, so they came out together.

As soon as the two came out, they were dizzy with these questions. With so many candidates around, Chang Heng didn't dare to talk big, so he could only say modestly: "Fortunately, I answered a few questions, so I won't give in blank."

Liu Huan calmed down and said, "I think I did well in the test. I am familiar with all the questions and answered them. I think I did well in the test."

Grow Heng:  …

The students on the side: ...

So after the scene was quiet for a while, someone said loudly: "This year's questions are not difficult, I remember all the scriptures that I took the test, and I answered them all."

"Is that so, congratulations and congratulations, it just so happened that you answered it well, at least the papers are all filled."

"Before I took the exam, I thought the Mingjing exam would be difficult. I didn't expect it to be so easy. It's easier than the questions given by the gentlemen in the academy."

Hearing this, Liu Huan felt uneasy, and whispered to Bai Shan, "So many people do well in the exam, can I still pass the exam?"

Bai Shan: "...the exam is over, it's useless to think too much, let's go to dinner."

Liu Huan hesitated, "If I don't pass the exam, my grandfather will beat me, right?"

Man Bao comforted him, "No, didn't you already say it before, to celebrate your title after the exam?"

Liu Huan was even more uneasy, "But the Mingjing exam was opened by His Majesty. If I fail the exam, my grandfather will definitely beat me up."

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang pulled him and said, "So you have to take advantage of the two days before the list is released, or else you miss it, but you really miss it."

Liu Huan:  …

Seeing that he was so sad that Man Bao was about to cry, he couldn't help cheering up and comforting him: "It's okay, it's okay, we'll invite you to dinner."

After two days of trouble with my friends, Man Bao was in a much better mood. On the third day, the Ming Jing released the list.

Several people followed and ran to see.

Bai Shan said: "I heard that this time the Ming Jing will take a total of 280 scholars."

Bai Erlang was speechless, "It's almost ten times more than the Jinshi test, and I also want to test the Ming Jing."

Bai Shan said: "This fall, you can try the Jinshi test again. If you don't pass the test, you can take the Mingjing test next year. Otherwise, you will have to wait for the system."

Bai Erlang said: "How can there be a regular subject in the system? Brother, if you still can't pass the test in the fall, would you like to test the Ming Jing with me?"

Bai Dalang: ...

He calculated his age and nodded.

Bai Shan said, "Big brother, but it's not necessary."

He said: "I heard that last year, the eldest brother was not low, and he was one step away from entering. Now your reputation in the capital is not bad. If you don't win this year, you can try for a few more years. Even if you are an official, you are still two points better than the Ming Jing in the imperial examinations.”

Bai Erlang muttered, "Isn't they all selected for the imperial examination, and they all have to go up step by step, and I don't think there is much difference."

Bai Shandao said, "It's not obvious in the first ten years, but after ten years you will see the difference when you want to be promoted again."

He said: "The county magistrates of the same rank will be considered top-ranking in the assessment, but when they are promoted, they will choose the Jinshi department first, and the Mingjing department will stay, but if there is a Jinshi department with the same conditions next year, you will be selected. What about the fight?"

Bai Dalang also nodded, "Yes, the gentlemen in the school also said that if you can get a jinshi, you can get a jinshi. If you can't pass the test, or you really don't want to take the test, you can go to the Mingjing or other subjects."

Bai Erlang pondered for a while, puzzled, "Why didn't you let me insist on taking the Jinshi exam?"

Bai Shandao: "Because you don't have the perseverance to study."

He said, "Brother Hall, even if you study for another ten years, you can persevere, can you?"

Bai Erlang: He can't.

Bai Dalang: He can, but he is not very happy.

Liu Huan also thought about it from the spot, slapped his mouth and said, "I can't either."

Therefore, many of the students who came to take the exam this time were students from Guozijian.

When the Mingjing Division released the list, there were more people watching the list than the Jinshi Division, and it was even more lively. Everyone was crowded. Bai Shan and the others simply didn’t crowd it, but went into the teahouse and let the servants watch.

After a long time, Zhi Yu ran back with messy hair and shouted, "You hit, you hit, Langjun."

Liu Huan was overjoyed, stood up in a hurry, rushed out to hold the message, and asked happily, "How many, how many, are there any top..."

"One hundred and twentieth!"

Zhi Yu smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, and he said happily, "Young master, you are still in the middle."

Liu Huan was a little disappointed. Bai Shan and the others had already stepped forward to congratulate him, "Congratulations, congratulations, you have a treat today."

Even Chang Heng also congratulated him, and then waited even more anxiously.

Bai Erlang's eyes were sharp, and he saw his elder brother's servant by the window. Seeing a happy expression on his face, he had a guess in his heart. He immediately stuck his head out and asked, "Xi Mo, has your uncle been caught?"

After washing the ink, he raised his head, and when he saw the second young master, he shouted loudly: "I got it, I got it, my uncle got the eighty-seventh place in the exam."

Chang Heng in the room also heard it and was overjoyed.

See you at 6 pm
