Ye Qing and Lv Shangjing arrived relatively early, but after a while, there was a bustling crowd. It turned out that too many candidates were eager to rush to see the results, which not only made it difficult to rent ox carts, but also blocked a street. Local residents and experienced candidates had already become accustomed to this scene, but new candidates found it difficult to adapt directly.
Ye Qing saw several young candidates in front of her, their faces turning red with anxiety, and couldn't help but be speechless: "The streets and alleys are a bit smaller, but there are fewer people and fewer cars. How long can we delay in traffic
And it will be on the list for three days. For those who have won the title of scholar, there will be a special official notification on the first day. Rushing to see it at this time is just to comfort the urgent mood
Ye Qing thought to herself that although it was not vulgar, she would not lose her rationality. She smiled at Lv Shangjing and said, "We are not in a hurry. Let's have tea in this teahouse
Speaking of which, we managed to secure a spot on the third floor of the elegant seating area, where we could watch the posters below. However, gradually, the lobby and second floor of the teahouse became crowded.
At this time, thousands of candidates had gathered under a high wall at Qingshi Square, and the list was posted here.
A scholar is granted a formal position by the imperial court. Although the official position is small, it is a formal starting point. As long as they have the ability, willingness to work, support, or luck, they have the opportunity for promotion.
It can be said that a scholar is like stepping into the officialdom with half a foot. Power comes with interests, and their status is more similar to that of an official, unlike a child who still has the possibility of falling out.
Wild ginseng, wild ginseng... Thirty years of wild ginseng, with strong medicinal power, is a great tonic for the body. Will this young master come to take a look? "A sound of shouting came from the crowded square, and vendors made money from it.
The two of them are good, Wukui Shou! Come and punish the alcohol! "There were also candidates drinking and punching in the tavern, ignoring manners and resolving pressure.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of human nature, amidst the green ears of fallen leaves, listening at this moment, one is lost in the differences of several lifetimes.
Sir! Alright, please give us mother and daughter a bite to eat and do good deeds to accumulate virtue... "A middle-aged woman with a dusty face bowed and held a little girl, dressed in tattered clothes, pale and thin, with dim eyes, showing that the glory of such a prosperous county city could not fall on them.
The buddy glared angrily and said, "Go! This is also where you beg? It's disturbing the nobleman
Wait! "Ye Qing stopped speaking at the third floor window and was about to touch the silver from her waist. However, when she saw strong men staring in several corners not far away, she suddenly realized.
If you give money, it will not save them, but kill them. As soon as the Dim sum cools down, you just look at the table and say to the waiter, "Send these cakes."
The buddy was taken aback and smiled, 'Young master, you are so kind!'
As he spoke, he took a cloth bag and put some fruits and pastries on the table, then went down and handed them to the two mother and daughter.
The middle-aged woman took it and bowed repeatedly, saying repeatedly, "Good person, you must be able to attend high school. Good person
The sound staggered away, and Ye Qing lost her desire to drink tea. She once felt that her heart was as strong as iron, but there are always people in the world who show compassion.
The young master is kind-hearted, "Lv Shangjing said, feeling deeply moved.
Ye Qing pondered and said, "Everyone struggles to survive like this, not only her, but also you and me. Isn't it all like this
It's just that we have fought for a lot, but with just a little effort, we can save others. Why don't we refuse? Why do we have to wait to do something big
Speaking of sacrificing myself and selling my wealth to appease the people, I can't do it. Some people have said this is a pretense, but I don't think I can change it. "At this point, Ye Qing smiled.
L ü Shang listened attentively, but suddenly changed his appearance, pondered for a long time, and sighed, "Nowadays, many people often use moral standards and harshly criticize others, as if doing good deeds without sacrificing their families and lives, which cannot be called good
In fact, the teachings in this regard have been continuous in history since the Spring and Autumn Period. Did ancient people not hesitate to speak of them? They were all for themselves and others, as for relatives, and then for friends and the people
This is the great path promised by the Dao Jun personally, and it is also a human empathy, a principle of sorrow for rabbits and foxes when they die
If someone can do it themselves and ruin their family, it is a great good, but if they want to use it to criticize others, they may violate the law and be punished by heaven
Ye Qing listened to the jawline.
Throughout several lifetimes, there have been teachings from 'saints', which stem from empathy. Rather than saying that sentient beings transcend each other like dragons, it is better to say that they extend themselves to others.
The evolution of each era does not violate this essence.
For a moment, he was infatuated.
Kuang Kuang——
The sound of gongs echoed in the square, followed by a burst of firecrackers.
Time's up! "A bright yellow chart hung from the high and wide wall, three zhang high and one zhang wide.
A dozen or so people dressed in armor nailed this list to the wall, clearly visible from a distance of two hundred meters, but at this moment there was still a red wedding cloth hanging.
Open the list -
With a loud bang, the red cloth was pulled down, and golden names appeared in everyone's eyes. Each name caused waves of cheers among the candidates.
Moved, tears streaming down her face, the stirring emotions were felt even by Ye Qing from afar.
I've won, I've finally won! "A young student, no, a scholar, with tears streaming down his face, knelt on the ground and looked up at the sky, shouting incessantly.
After ten years of hard work, I finally have today! I finally have today! "Another scholar burst into laughter when he saw that the list was famous, tears streaming down his face.
Congratulations! You all have great luck in the future, don't forget your old friends! "At this moment, a fellow student came up to establish a relationship.
Dong dong dong dong!
A sound of gongs rang out, and many messengers rode on large horses, dressed in colorful clothes, with several people following behind, holding the scholar in their hands to serve, leaving their marks, and heading to the scholar's residence to report.
Report!!! Nancang County Chengshizi Yufan High School ranked first on the list! Top of the list! "The messenger immediately found Yufan in the crowd, helped him up, and put on a big red hairpin and silk cloth.
At this moment, Yu Fan's eyes were shining brightly. Although his face was full of joy, he stabilized his form and smiled. He handed over his hand and said, "You have worked hard to pass on the message. This is the wedding money, you can use it for drinking
It is customary for every scholar to give some wedding money for running errands. Currently, a few of Yu Fan's followers carried baskets and scattered large pieces of copper coins, causing many people to scramble.
Hiss! This Yu Fan is really wealthy and powerful! "Someone whispered as they watched.
Isn't that right, Yu Mansion... "someone said, suddenly becoming alert and silent.
Many candidates are also discussing below.
Ye Qing calmly sipped her tea, showing great composure. Her gaze fixed on Lv Shangjing, and as expected, her eyes couldn't help but freeze at the sight of this person.
However, at this moment, the word "Ye Qing" was seen in the seventh place, and Lv Shangjing's whole body trembled. She woke up and stopped looking at Yu Fan. She stood up and bowed, "Congratulations, young master
Despite all the difficulties, I still fell through and finally reached this point. At this moment, this scholar's position was like a talisman, and further down, I had a foundation.
Ye Qing took two deep breaths before suppressing her emotions.
Just an ordinary ranking, "Ye Qing smiled, but when she put down her teacup, a circle of water stains splashed out, revealing her unsettled heart.
L ü Shangjing remained oblivious, with a smile on her face, empathizing with her feelings.
At this moment, someone recognized and hugged us, saying, "We are all classmates, so we came to pay our respects! It may not be convenient today, but if Brother Ye needs us, feel free to let us know
Qiang "- the sound of a gong striking came over.
Congratulations to Ye Qing, a scholar from Pingshou County, who ranked seventh on the high school ranking! "The messenger's loud shout echoed around, and everyone was discussing.
Ah, isn't Ye Qing the same Ye Qing from last year's Dragon Lord banquet? He definitely won
With the help of Dragon Lord, even if you don't expect it, it won't work out
At this moment, Ye Qing stepped forward to the door to respond, and several messengers came over holding clothes, copper seals, swords, and land deeds.
Young Master Ye, if you take the copper seal on this garment, you must be the talented Cai Xiucai! "The leader was a messenger who was a small official with a smile on his face.
Ye Qing took fifteen taels of silver from his arms and gave it to a few people, saying, "You've worked hard, take this and drink it at the bar
Thank you, Young Master Ye! "This money is not much, not much, just right.
Following the rules, Ye Qing immediately put on this suit and hung his sword around his waist. With a pull of his sword, he suddenly shone with a cold light, truly a top-grade long sword.
Throughout history, the imperial court has attached great importance to martial arts. The common people are not allowed to carry weapons, but as long as they are talented, they have the "right to wield swords" and can consult martial arts classics. They can also learn horseback riding and archery in the government. The literati have always adhered to the mainstream of "the righteous path of gentlemen" and have been given the sword of opening the edge.
In the future, it may even be legal to travel around the world and eliminate injustice, but in reality, there are rules that allow anyone to kill bandits and thieves. As long as there is a divine inspection certificate, the court will endorse it. However, if local clans run rampant, the backlash must be borne by oneself.
In fact, few people would do this, and a balance of interests has been formed over thousands of years.
Tong Sheng's jealousy is not about a sword, but about the power represented by this sword. Even the messenger cheered when he saw Ye Qing wearing it, saying, "What a handsome gentleman
A small copper seal, about an inch in size, hung around my waist. It was actually a half seal, not a real official seal, but I immediately felt that a force had been added to me in a mysterious way. However, at this moment, it was not the time of inspection, and I remained calm and composed.
In addition, there is a fifty acre land deed, which is a favor from the court and can be exchanged for any piece of land in the county where it is located.
Ye Qing accepted all of them and bowed to the young scholar, saying, "Classmates, I'm a bit tired today. I'll go back to the inn to rest first. It's not too late to have a good talk together for a day
Upon hearing this, a scholar should say, "Brother Ye is saying that we should cultivate our emotions and rest well today
Not only Ye Qing, but also they all want to go back, to tidy up their emotions, experience their own identity changes, and calm their emotions.
Some young students looked a bit embarrassed and could only bow.
Xiucai and Xiucai are both future colleagues and peers, so they are close to each other.
A child can only cling with a thick face, after all, it is also a resource, and being able to leave a trace of affection can be a great help when it comes to future situations.
Finally, Ye Qing said to Lv Shangjing, "Sir, please, let's go back together
At this moment, Lv Shangjing regained consciousness and responded, "Yes
