prosperous age

Chapter 149

The hurried footsteps outside the door suddenly stopped, and Wei Guangde was not the only one who heard it clearly. The room was quiet. At this moment, most of the examinees turned their eyes to the three officials who announced the good news at the door.

At this time, they usually dismissed these officials, but now they became a favorite in the eyes of this large group of scholars, especially the bright red official clothes they wore, which looked so festive.

The lobby was unusually quiet, you could hear a needle drop, and even the faint sound of footsteps in the distance did not break the tranquility.

After the three officials entered the door, they quickly looked around at the people in the lobby. Obviously they couldn't find them. There was a room full of talented people. Then the leader took a big red announcement from the person behind him, unfolded it gently and shouted at them. read:

"Success in the township examination, congratulations to Mr. Wei Guangde Wei, Jiujiang Wei, Jiangxi Province, No. 90 on the top five in the high school Yimao township examination."

"boom"

After the officer quickly finished reading the happy news in his hand, and then waited for the moment when he looked up, he felt a little silly.

What the hell are you doing standing up?

Who should I give the good news to?
But the next moment he knew who Master Wei was.

At this time, I saw these talented men in their twenties and thirties all bowing to a young man who was sitting there dumbfounded and motionless.

"Congratulations."

"Congratulations Wei Xiandi, you are now a Juren."

"Brother Wei, you are amazing. You are on the list. Hurry up and receive the good news."

There are constantly happy words ringing in the ears, it is really noisy, too noisy.

Wei Guangde said in his heart, and then he felt his shoulders being shaken slightly.

Wei Guangde subconsciously turned his head to look, it was Lao Kan, this handsome guy in his 20s smiled like a chrysanthemum, why did he look so awkward.

"Congratulations, brother Wei is really amazing, a 16-year-old Juren master"

When Lao Kan was still talking there, he suddenly felt that the hand on Wei Guangde's shoulder lost his support, and Wei Guangde stood up abruptly.

"The labor is in the middle."

Wei Guangde felt that his body was a little out of control, and he couldn't help raising his hands and shouting loudly.

Immediately, he sat down on the chair again, feeling that the strength of his body seemed to be hollowed out, and gradually his consciousness became clear again.

Yes, the newspaper was talking about me just now. My household registration is originally a military registration, so naturally I reported to Jiujiang Wei. However, the previous county examination, government examination and courtyard examination were from Peng Ze, so Peng Ze was accounted for. quota.

In the Weisuo, the imperial court did not grant quotas for scholars.

"Zhang Ji."

After Wei Guangde recovered from the ecstasy, he shouted loudly to the followers beside him.

"Master, the little one is here."

Now my master has passed the high school exam, haha, the master I follow is the master of the exam, the master won the exam at the age of 16, and there is still a lot of time in the future to be admitted to the Jinshi and the number one scholar.

At this moment, the ones who are really happy in the lobby are Wei Guangde and Zhang Ji.

The others were all smiling, but Wei Guangde wasn't sure how happy he was in his heart.

"Give a reward."

After speaking, Wei Guangde was afraid that Zhang Ji would misunderstand and give less, so he continued, "Give them ten taels of silver."

"Ah? Yes, sir."

The current Zhang Ji is no longer called Master Wei Guangde. If the young master wins the exam, he has to be called the master.

Come down, shouldn't I ask the master for a red envelope? ? ?

Thinking so, Zhang Ji's movements were not slow. He took out two five taels of silver ingots from his arms and handed them directly to the official, paying the money with one hand and receiving the happy news with the other.

Without looking, Zhang Ji turned around and put his hands in front of Wei Guangde.

"Sir, this is your good news."

"it is good."

Wei Guangde said, stretched out his hand to take it and opened his eyes.

That's right, it's your own good news.

Close it again and put it on the table. At this time, Wei Guangde remembered the congratulations from his classmates around him, and immediately got up like burning his butt, and bowed to the scholars around him.

It is already very, very rude to take so long to return the gift.

"I'm sorry, brothers, I was so happy and silly just now, please don't be offended."

Indeed, Wei Guangde was the youngest candidate who came to Nanchang from Jiujiang Prefecture to take the provincial examination, and he seemed to be the youngest scholar in Jiangxi as well.

"I just hung the rear of the car, and I'm so happy for you. Next year, Chuanlu of the Golden Palace will win the first prize. Then, do you still need to ask the emperor to arrange an imperial doctor for you first, haha?"

Lao Kan didn't care, just laughed and joked loudly.

Well, these words dispelled the previous trace of unhappiness in many people's hearts.

Indeed, as Wei Guangde himself said, he is only 16 years old, and knowing that he won the exam, it is actually normal to lose his composure after ecstasy. How about me?
Steady, you must be steady.

Well, no matter whether they are on the list or not, other people in the room began to remind themselves in their hearts that when their happy news arrives in a while, they must be steady and not be as happy as Wei Guangde.

They are young, so they can be forgiven.

After everyone was seated again, the atmosphere in the inn also started to become lively. Jiujiang Mansion finally got their act together. With the first one, the second one is not far away.

No one thinks that their literary talent is inferior to Wei Guangde, and now is the time to try their luck.

This is the voice of all the scholars in the room at the moment.

Another team of announcing officials walked past the gate of the inn, and everyone sighed quietly.

"You are so lucky that the crane is on the list."

At this time, Lao Kan leaned over to Wei Guangde and said.

"Yeah, I finally passed the exam, and I have the face to meet my parents when I go home."

Wei Guangde was very sad.

"You boy, you don't speak human language at such a young age, the one here has no face to see his parents, and he didn't feel sorry for his ancestors, but he didn't pass the exam for the time being."

Lao Kan was very displeased with Wei Guangde's words, but he replied very quietly.

This moment is special, and he is also afraid of offending others by talking too much.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door again, and soon stopped outside the inn again.

As three newspapermen in red official uniforms entered the door, the buzzing lobby became quiet again.

"Success in the township examination, congratulations to Mr. Shen Liangdong, Dehua County, Jiujiang Prefecture, No. 80, No. [-], in the high school Yimao Township Examination."

Shen Liangdong is also on the list.

Wei Guangde hastily congratulated Shen Liangdong on the table next to him, repeating what they had just said to him.

Although everyone is a master of Juren, but he is the tail of the crane, and his ranking is higher than his own.

The three officials happily took the happy money from Shen Liangdong's entourage, and were overjoyed.

Sure enough, Li San's team didn't talk nonsense before, the candidates in this inn are really rich.

Shen Liangdong's family is not bad, and now he is happy, just like Wei Guangde, he directly asks his servants to reward him ten taels of silver.

At this time, other people in the room, some of whom were in poorer conditions, or who did not have much cash, all cursed Wei Guangde and Shen Liangdong secretly in their hearts.

In the past, a few taels of silver meant a reward for happiness.

Now, under the leadership of Wei Guangde, ten taels of silver seems to be enough.
