The college examinations were not divided into rankings, that is to say, there were no first-class, second-class, or third-class grades, so they were only ranked according to the results of the college examination.
After the fourth-grade official just stepped down and stood below, an official next to him came up to the stage.
I saw him slowly unfolding the red list in his hand.
Immediately, the officials standing below began to roll the names based on the rankings above: "Yang Ming, the Yuan of the Guiwei Academy of Sciences in the first year of Jiajing, Liu Shilin in the second place, Liu Fang in the third place, and Wang Wei'an in the fourth place."
After the first list was read out, and then the second and third lists, every time a name was announced, a team of servants who had been waiting outside for a long time delivered the good news according to the list and address of the candidates on the list in their hands.
For a time, gongs and drums were beating and flowers bloomed everywhere, and the entire capital was deafened by the sound of firecrackers.
"Chen Xi, the 381st, has a total of 381 people on the Enke list this time.
The top ten will go to Tai Chi Hall to take the palace examination on the ninth day of this month."
For two hours, the list of 381 people on the list was slowly read out.
At this time, there were people in front of Donghua Gate crying with joy, some of them looked like they were on the top of a mountain, but even more of them really cried bitterly and shouted that God was unfair.
The faces are all different before your eyes.
At this time, Yang Ming and Zhang Wencai were already sitting in the lobby of Yunlai Inn.
It was very lively with people announcing the good news coming and going outside the door, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard even from a distance.
"Why hasn't the person who brought the good news come yet?"
Zhang Wencai looked anxious.
Just now, there was a news announcing the good news.
One hundred and forty-six people had already registered.
In his opinion, it was natural for Yang Ming to be on the list. , but the person who had been waiting for a long time to bring the good news did not come.
Now he couldn't sit still anymore.
The wine glass in his hand had been fucked by him several times, and he didn't even notice that the wine was gone.
Not only him, but also Xia Yurou and everyone else in the inn were extremely anxious.
In particular, Yang Ming's two clan brothers were extremely anxious.
They followed Yang Ming to the capital just to strive for a better future.
If Yang Ming is a Jinshi in high school, then they will naturally be better off.
Even working as a yamen servant or a catcher next to Yang Ming is much better than working as a farmer in his hometown.
But if Yang Ming loses his reputation, they will have no choice but to go home honestly. .
Everyone has a hope, and with hope comes a head start.
Almost everyone present focused their hopes on Yang Ming.
As the ranking got higher and higher until he reached third place, he even Yang Ming couldn't sit still.
Yang Yanhe had already hinted that Yang Ming did not need to worry about his ranking in the college examination, and Pang Yan's arrival a few days ago and talking about Yang Ming's devolution as an official showed that he was bound to be on the list in this college examination, but he waited.
After such a long time, it seems that only the first two places are available.
Yang Ming couldn't help but panic.
This person is like this.
If it were someone else's matter, he would not be so concerned about it, nor would he be so anxious.
Although Yang Ming acted casually, in fact, he had already pinched it in his hand.
Breaking into a cold sweat, at this moment he couldn't help but think of his old man, his father, and his mother He, who were far away in his hometown in Sichuan, and even the old patriarch and those clan members.
Those pairs of expectant eyes kept lingering in his mind, making his My heart was filled with guilt.
Now he finally understands why there are so many people who are unwilling to return to their hometowns even if they are poor.
They could have been a wealthy gentry comfortably in their hometown, and they could live well and live well even without being an official.
However, they faced the expectations of their families and the hopes of their fellow villagers.
They have no face to see Jiangdong’s elders.
If I failed like them, would I still have the nerve to go back?
Yang Ming couldn't help but ask himself, whether it was exams or other aspects, he tried his best.
Moreover, the imperial court has come up with many ideas for the people, but the good news has been delayed.
His heart almost sank to the bottom, and now he was even wondering if something happened to those who delivered the good news on the way, which delayed the delivery of the news.

However, the streets have gradually returned to calm, and the noisy voices have gradually become muffled.
Only the mournful cries of one or two mournful scholars occasionally come from the distance.
"Young Master, don't be discouraged.
This exam is really in a hurry.
We are not used to the climate on the way to Beijing and we don't have much time to study.
It doesn't matter if you don't do well in the exam.
We will simply buy a house in the capital.
You can do it while studying."
If you like something even a little bit, you’ll have to wait four years to start over again.”
Miaoyin is indeed well-informed, and she has long seen the uneasiness and guilt hidden deep in Yang Ming's heart.
She knows very well that Yang Ming is now just like those scholars who have failed to return home, so she comforts her.
Yang Ming came up with an excuse.
Although these excuses were just excuses, they could at least make Yang Ming feel better.
"Yes, sir, the worst we can do is wait here in the capital for another four years.
After four years, sir, I think his articles will be even more profound.
By then, he will definitely be ranked among the top three."
Xia Yurou also quickly comforted her.
They often met him during the imperial examinations.
The only difference was their different identities.
Naturally, she knew the hardships of the imperial examinations.
Seeing Yang Ming's former ninja expression in pain but pretending not to care, she felt a little heartbroken.
Yang Ming sighed.
It seemed that this hospital trial ended in failure.
He picked up the wine glass, filled himself with a whole glass of wine, and drank it down in one gulp.
"Cough, cough, cough."
The intense pungent smell suddenly entered his throat.
Before the burning sensation could spread into his throat, he was rushed back by an airflow from the inside out.
He choked and coughed all over his face because the wine was choked into his trachea.
And become red.
"Master" "Dude" "Master" For a moment, everyone hurriedly slapped him on the back and brought him tea to let him take a sip.
Seeing the extreme chaos, even the shopkeeper on the side looked uneasy.
At this moment, the sound of gongs and drums was heard outside again.
Just listening to the sound was louder and more majestic than the sounds of good news delivered in the past.
The sound of firecrackers along the way seemed to be free and almost never stopped. .
The scene suddenly became silent, and there was still some good news that had not yet been delivered.
Yang Ming's heart was already beating violently.
As the chief and assistant minister, Yang Yanhe could not lie to him.
He said that he didn't have to worry about the college exam, so he didn't have to worry about the college exam.
Maybe the person delivering the good news outside the door was really...
What about the people who delivered the good news themselves?
Maybe they really came late because something happened on the way.
In an instant, countless possibilities emerged in Yang Ming's mind.
The desire hidden deep in his heart almost made him collapse, but he tried his best to stabilize his mind.
The more critical the moment, the less anxious he could be.
He didn't know that his anxious appearance was now in front of everyone's eyes, making those who cared about or bet their future on him extremely distressed. s: The second update is here today.
