Chapter 320 Celebration
Naturally, in the exam, some people will be named on the gold list, and some people will lose their names. Just when some families are happy and others are sad, the door of the Ministry of Rites opens, and several officials come out from inside.

When the candidates saw the officials coming out, they immediately stopped making noise.

"All the candidates who are on the list will go to the palace in three days and take the exam before the palace." An official said loudly.

"Do you still have to take the exam? Haven't you finished ranking this time?"

Someone asked in confusion.

"This is His Majesty's arrangement. Those who don't want to take the exam can withdraw." After the official finished speaking coldly, the dissatisfied candidates immediately shut their mouths.

After saying this, the gate of the yamen of the Ministry of Rites was closed again, and the examinees suddenly started whispering.

This time, there are a total of 100 people on the list, and the admission rate can be said to be high. Only more than 50 candidates with unsatisfactory results failed the list. As long as you put more effort into the topic this time, you will be able to get the title on the gold list.

"Brother Zheng, what should I do? Why do I have to take the exam again? I almost failed!" Wu Long sighed.

Zheng Sen said with a smile: "Brother Wu, don't worry, you are ranked 100th out of the [-] people. I believe that even if His Majesty takes the exam himself, there will be no problem."

"Oh, I hope!" Wu Long shook his head.

At this time, two slightly older youths came to Zheng Sen excitedly and said: "Brother Zheng, let's go to eat a few drinks together. From now on, you and I will be officials in the same dynasty. Need a lot of help!"

When Zheng Sen looked at the person, it turned out to be Li Dahe and Feng Yu who were behind him, and said with a smile: "Alright, we have been classmates for so many years, this time we are both on the list, and it's time to celebrate, Brother Wu, Don't frown, let's have a few drinks together."

The examinees who got the title on the gold list cheered and ran towards the food. This group of outstanding young men immediately attracted the attention of many young girls.

And those candidates who failed the rankings could only look at the list in dejection and unwillingness, shook their heads, and left here in a daze to prepare for the next exam.

Food is paramount, when nearly a hundred examinees arrived, the restaurant on the second floor was immediately booked out, and a group of young people yelled at the restaurant in high spirits to quickly serve the food and drinks.

With the appearance of iron pots and stir-fried dishes, the cuisine of Xia Kingdom gradually became more abundant. As a restaurant specializing in food, it can be said that it has done a lot of research in this area. The dishes here are almost as good as those in the palace.

As all kinds of dishes were served like water, the young people screamed excitedly.

Every dish here is equivalent to their meal money for several days, but on such an important day today, no one cares so much. The accumulated money is spent. There is a generous salary waiting for him, this little money is nothing.

After drinking for three rounds, the students who were drunk began to sing loudly. Under the leadership of someone, young singing voices rang out in the restaurant.

"A big river has wide waves, and the wind blows the fragrance of millet flowers on both sides. My family lives on the bank. I am used to listening to the boatman's chant and seeing the red walls on the bank..."

The hilarious students did not support each other until they returned to their residences in the evening.

Leaving a farmhouse outside Yancheng, a student with scars on his face returned to his home before dark.
Pushing aside the crude wooden fence, he shouted loudly: "Mother, I'm back."

In the simple thatched hut, several people heard the young man's voice and ran out in a hurry.

"Feng Yu, you are back." A peasant woman said excitedly.

The young man looked at the woman, smiled lightly, and said, "Mother, I passed the exam today."

"What?" The woman grabbed the young man's shoulder excitedly.

"Mother, I passed the exam. I am number 20." The young man laughed.

"Okay, okay, God bless, my son will be an official of Xia Kingdom from now on." The woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the mouth of heaven continuously.

The young man looked up at the middle-aged man who was standing aside and looked at him, nodded to him and said, "Father!"

The middle-aged man smiled naively, and said: "It's good to pass the exam, you're hungry, it's time to eat, let's eat together!"

"My brother is amazing. I will take the exam when I grow up." A little boy about four or five years old held the young man's hand and shouted bouncingly.

Under the bright moonlight, the family of four sat in the courtyard and ate a hearty meal.

"Fengyu, this is the wine and meat that your mother bought in the city today. Let us father and son have a good drink today." The middle-aged man picked up the wine jar and filled the bowl.

The young man looked at the wine in the bowl, lifted it up and said, "Father, thank you for taking care of me all these years. Although I am not your own, I have always regarded you as my biological father. Thank you for your support. "

After all, drink up the wine in one gulp.

Hearing the words, the middle-aged man said several good words again and again, his voice could not help but choke, and he drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.

The young man filled the wine and said to the woman: "Mother, if you hadn't taken me to the hospital for treatment, I might have died by now. You gave me everything today, and the child has nothing to repay." .”

After finishing speaking, he drank the wine in the bowl again.

"Those who have read the book just speak differently from us, and it is comfortable to listen to, wind and rain, will you be an official of Daxia from now on?" the woman asked.

The young man shook his head, "It's not sure yet, His Majesty the Queen of Heaven will test us personally, and then we can make a decision." The young man said.

"Why do you still have to take the exam?" The middle-aged man frowned.

"I'm not sure about this, but don't worry, I will definitely pass." The young man patted his chest confidently.

While the examinees were celebrating their passing the exam in their own ways, Wang Lang squinted at Lin Jianya sitting below in the Great Xia Palace.

"Lin Jianya, do you know why I called you back?"

"I don't know!" Lin Jianya cupped his hands in great displeasure.

"You found out why those cannibal tribes didn't send people back to report, how cruel it is to cut off the captives' limbs, gouging out their eyes, what is the difference between you and those barbarians, and I also got news that you beat soldiers in the army after drinking , can this matter." Wang Lang asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with killing those cannibals? It will take more than a month to come back and report. What if those guys run away? I'm the chief soldier beating a soldier, so what's the big deal?" Lin Jian Teeth retorted.

Hearing this, Wang Lang turned pale with anger, stood up and pointed at Lin Jianya and shouted: "I should decide whether to kill or keep those cannibal tribes. If you order without permission, you are exceeding your authority. According to the law, you should be arrested and investigated. The method of captives is too cruel, it is not human. You are the leader of the army, and the soldiers are your brothers. War, what do you use to make your soldiers work for you, how can you lead the army like this, how can I trust the army to you."
