Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2179, when the gold list was titled, the phone exploded

"Sell the newspaper! Sell the newspaper!"

"Release the list today, release the list today!"

In the early winter of Beijing, accompanied by gusts of cold wind, the shouts of newsboys resounded through the streets and alleys of the capital.

Today is the day when the test results will be released, and everyone in the capital is looking forward to it. There are a large number of people going to the Gongyuan when the sky is just dawn.

Every time the imperial examination results are released, those high school scholars will give a lot of happy money. It is said that in the past few days, many people have ordered their book boys and servants to prepare happy money. A lot of copper coins are packed in sacks, and when the rankings are released, it is time to throw money.

"Brother Hu! Brother Hu!"

Sun Yun and Chen Maoyi came to Hu Xiwen's rented house early, and the servants behind them all carried a heavy bag of copper coins. This is the happy money prepared in advance. As long as they are in high school, they will be thrown out at that time .

"Brother Sun, Brother Chen!"

Hu Xiwen also got up early. To be honest, he didn't sleep well last night. Before the announcement of the rankings, everyone was very nervous.

Whether it is high school, soaring to the sky, whether it can be named on the gold list today.

Without needing too much words, the three of them directly hailed a rickshaw and headed straight to Gongyuan.

When the three of them arrived at the Gongyuan, even though it was still early, the place was already crowded with people. There were already tens of thousands of people waiting here in the huge square outside the Gongyuan.

The square is full of people who come to watch the fun and grab money, and around the square are groups of scholars standing around. Although they seem to be talking and laughing happily, they are actually very nervous. They check the time from time to time. Look at the big wall outside the tribute courtyard where the list is released, and wait anxiously for the list to be released.

"Brother Hu, Brother Sun, Brother Chen."

When Hu Xiwen, Sun Yun, and Chen Maoyi arrived, they also met many acquaintances, and meeting each other was also a salute of Brother Hu.

The three came to the area where Sichuan candidates gathered, and immediately many fellow villagers chatted again.

"How did the three brothers do in the exam this time?"

"Hey, don't mention it, the new student's exam is a mess, this time the designation is going to lose the name."

"Brother Wang, don't be discouraged. The content of this new study only accounts for [-]% of the content. As long as the article is well written, there is still hope. What's more, everyone's new study test is very poor this time, which means that in the end, the article will be used to speak. .”

"Brother Sun, how did you do in the exam this time?"

"General, general, I dare not expect extravagantly."

"Yeah, the questions this time are indeed too biased. Furthermore, new exams have been added and a scoring system has been introduced. I don't know what the final result will be."

"I heard that brother Hu did well in the exam this time, so he must be able to enter high school."

"Yeah, Brother Hu knows a lot about Xinxue. The test scores this time must be much higher. High school is an inevitable thing."

"Where, where, no one can say for sure."

Hu Xiwen smiled and chatted with fellow villagers around him, while waiting anxiously.

To be honest, he was really looking forward to being able to go to high school, but touching his wallet, Hu Xiwen was afraid that he would be laughed at after high school and would not even be able to take out the happy money.

Now, Hu Xiwen doesn't have much money left. If he fails the exam, he can go home by train. There is not much silver.

This time, we need to distribute wedding money, and after the next palace examination to establish the ranking, we need to send money to the officials who announce the good news, and also to those who come to say good news, this is really stretched.

There is no way, there are too many places for scholars to spend money.

Everyone waited anxiously, until ten o'clock in the morning, an official came with a list, and the scene immediately became lively, and everyone's eyes were on the past.

The servants and bookboys of many people were already waiting early, huddling together, trying to find out the name of their young master as soon as possible.

Soon, the red list was posted.

Unlike the past where there was only one name and place of origin, this time there are points, from the first place to more than 700, all have points. At the same time, there are officials and yamen servants who read with loudspeakers. It can make it easier for more people to know whether they are in high school or not.

"Northern Zhili Tianjin Prefecture Tang Shunzhi scored 89 points! First place!"

As the officials called out a name, a group of people cheered in a corner around the square.

"Congratulations, Brother Tang!"

"Congratulations, Brother Tang!"

"Brother Tang, you are number one, Huiyuan!"

Around a man in his thirties, everyone congratulated him one after another.

"Haha, thank you, thank you, congratulations, congratulations!"

Tang Shunzhi smiled all over his face, and then he also took a cloth bag from his book boy, which was filled with broken silver, and immediately began to scatter a lot of broken silver.

Too wealthy and too wealthy.

The people in Tianjin are indeed very rich. Others prepared copper coins, and they directly prepared broken silver. The bag of broken silver was worth at least a thousand taels of silver. He just kept going like this Let it go.

With Tang Shunzhi throwing money here, the surroundings suddenly became lively, countless people desperately grabbed the wedding money, especially when they saw that it was broken silver, they were very excited, this is just throwing money.

Tianjin people are rich.

Tang Shunzi kept throwing money away, and he was very happy in his heart. He won the first place in the exam. This was mainly because Tianjin and Beijing were the best places for the development of new studies. Even traditional scholars were familiar with the knowledge and content of new studies. There are a lot of them, so his new subjects are also very good.

"Hu Xiwen from Chengdu Prefecture, Sichuan Province scored 88 points, ranking second!"

The officials and yamen servants here also continued to read.

When Hu Xiwen heard about Chengdu Mansion in Sichuan, his whole body was tense. When he heard his name, he couldn't help cheering: "Haha, you got it, you got it!"

I am so happy that I am in high school!

"Congratulations, brother Hu, congratulations, brother Hu!"

When the fellow Sichuanese around him heard this, they immediately cast envious and jealous eyes, but soon they all sent congratulations to Hu Xiwen.

This Hu Xiwen is in high school, and he will be different from them in the future.

Hu Xiwen is a carp jumping over the dragon's gate, and the palace examination is just a formality to set a ranking. As long as he can pass the test, he will be a Jinshi, and he will be an official in the future.

Moreover, Hu Xiwen was able to rank second, which is enough to show his talent. Most of the time in this palace test, he can also be ranked high. Coupled with the fact that he is very young, his future is boundless.

In the future, there will still be plenty of places for everyone to beg Hu Xiwen. Even if they are envious and jealous, this congratulation is absolutely indispensable.

"Thank you, thank you, congratulations, congratulations!"

Hu Xiwen smiled and said to the fellow villagers around him, but the people around who were grabbing the happy money all looked at Hu Xiwen eagerly, expecting him to give the happy money quickly.

"Brother Hu, hurry up and launder the money. Xiqian must be included in this gold list."

Chen Maoyi saw Hu Xiwen's embarrassment at once, and took a bag of happy money that he had prepared in advance from his book boy and handed it to Hu Xiwen.

"Brother Chen, thank you!"

Hu Xiwen quickly thanked him, he really had no money left.

"Thank you for what."

Chen Maoyi said with a smile.

Hu Xiwen sprinkled a lot of copper coins, and the surroundings suddenly became lively, and a large number of people were constantly scrambling for the happy money.

Although Hu Xiwen loves money, but this is the time, it is really not the time to be stingy, and these large, large copper coins are scattered like rain.

After distributing the copper coins, Hu Xiwen also said to the fellow villagers around him: "I'll call and announce the good news to my family."

After finishing speaking, he also walked towards the telephone booth. At this time, there were already a large number of schoolboys waiting here. They only waited for their young master to go to high school, and immediately announced the good news to the family.

Because Hu Xiwen was the second place, so he knew it right away. At this time, there was no one else.

Soon, the call got through.

"Hi~ I'm Hu Xiwen, I'm in high school! I'm in high school!"

As soon as the phone was connected, Hu Xiwen shouted excitedly.

"Are you in high school?"

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

"Your parents are with me."

On the other end of the phone, the charter woman said in surprise when she heard it, and quickly handed the phone to Hu Xiwen's parents.

After Hu Xiwen's parents answered the phone and heard Hu Xiwen's words, they were ecstatic.

"Okay, okay, great, our Hu family has finally produced a scholar and an official."

Hu Xiwen's parents were so excited that they were about to cry.

In order to support Hu Xiwen's study, the husband and wife endured a lot of hardships and tiredness for no reason, and even shamelessly borrowed a lot of money from relatives and friends.

Now it's finally paying off.

Soon, Hu Xiwen's parents also lit the prepared firecrackers, and excitedly announced to the surrounding neighbors that their son had graduated from high school.

All of a sudden, the whole neighborhood knew about it, and the news spread quickly in Chengdu. Soon, everyone knew that there was a son of a migrant couple who had graduated from high school, was named on the gold list, and would flourish from then on.

After hearing the news, many well-known people in Chengdu even sent people to present congratulatory gifts. Those who can be named on the gold list during this period are destined to become prosperous in the future.

On the Gongyuan side of the capital, all the lists have been posted.

"I've won, my son, my son has won!"

"Master, master, high school, high school!"

"Young master, high school, high school, with a total score of 82!"

As similar voices kept ringing out, all the scholars on the scene laughed excitedly, surrounded by envious and jealous eyes.

All of a sudden, the phone booth became extremely lively, and one by one calls were made to the north and south of Daming, spreading the good news to all directions.

PS: Although it was very difficult to pass the exam in ancient times, it was an awesome job!
