"PS: Regarding the character prototypes of Jie Zizi, in fact, there are not one but two prototypes of several characters in the article, and Jie Zi is one of them. However, due to the long lapse of time, the author only remembers one of them.

One is Jiezitui, who is a model of loyal ministers, and the other author has forgotten ==. In other words, from the name "Fan Ying", it can be inferred that he is a book friend of "Yinghou Fanju", which is amazing enough. You can also guess more

Is it too much?』

————The following text————

The next day, it was still not bright yet, and the Ministry of Rites was outside the wall of the Confucius Temple. Many candidates gathered here with an uneasy mood. They seemed to be chatting and laughing with their fellow candidates, but in fact they kept looking at both ends of the road, waiting.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites came to post the list.

Looking at the candidates around him who were holding back their excitement, He Xinxian sighed secretly in his heart: There was a father who held a high position in the Ministry of Etiquette. This was just the problem. Every time he took the exam, his father, He Yu, would take the test one step ahead of time.

The results were told to him in two days, so that he could not understand the excitement of the students around him at this moment.

"Brother He, Brother He, Brother Xinxian?"

From a distance, several calls came.

He Xinxian turned his head subconsciously when he heard the words, and happened to see Tang Ju struggling to squeeze through the crowd of candidates.

"Good brother." He Xinxian greeted with a smile.

Since the four of them, He Xinxian, Wen Qi, Tang Ju, and Jie Zhiguo, had already had a drink together a few days ago, and their relationship had deepened, the four of them no longer used the polite title of "brother Xian" to call each other, but instead called each other by their age.

On friendship.

Among the four, the eldest is He Xinxian, followed by Wen Qi, third by Tang Ju, and Jie Ziu is the youngest. In fact, He Xinxian and Jie Ziu are only two years apart.

Seeing Tang Ju's nervous, excited and worried look, He Xinxian wanted to tell Tang Ju about his results. After all, He Xinxian had learned from his father He Yu last night that Tang Ju, his friend, ranked third in the high school B list, which was very impressive.

results.

However, after thinking about it, He Xinxian still gave up. After all, it is better for me to see the results on the list with my own eyes.

"The two wise brothers Wen Qi and Jie Ziyu haven't arrived yet?" Tang Ju looked around.

He Xinxian shook his head.

However, it didn't take long for Jie Ziyu to come to the two of them, followed by his sworn brother Wen Shaobo.

It has to be said that the material of He Xinxian's clothes is quite exquisite. Not to mention priceless, it is at least the best Sichuan brocade worth hundreds of taels of silver. However, compared with Wen Shaobo's robe inlaid with gold thread, He Xinxian, as a son of an official,

That outfit is completely inconspicuous.

"This is my adopted brother, Mr. Wen."

Under the dumbfounded gazes of He Xinxian and Tang Ju, Jie Ziyu introduced Shaobo Wen to them with some embarrassment.

After all, although he and Wen Shaobo were sworn brothers with deep love and righteousness, they really looked out of place in their clothes.

Fortunately, although Mr. Wen was dressed in a flashy bag, he was a man of bold temperament. He took the initiative to greet the two friends he had made with his adopted brother: "You two good brothers, the young uncle is polite here." As he said that, he saw He Xinxian and He Xinxian.

Tang Ju looked a little restrained. After looking around, he said deliberately: "This year's examination is really lively. It's a pity that my leg was broken by my father when I was young. I recuperated at home and delayed my studies. Otherwise, maybe,

I am also one of these many students..."

After listening to Wen Shaobo's words, He Xinxian and Tang Ju couldn't help but feel puzzled. The former asked curiously and surprised: "Why is your Majesty like this?"

Before Mr. Wen could say anything, Jie Ziu, who had already guessed what his sworn brother was thinking, deliberately made trouble and said: "That's nonsense. It's obvious that you are tired of studying and tried to skip school by climbing over the wall. Unexpectedly, you accidentally fell down while climbing over the wall."

If you lose your leg, what does it have to do with Uncle Wen?"

Hearing this, Mr. Wen Shaobo pretended to be embarrassed and coughed twice, and said without changing his expression: "Is that so? Why do I remember that I was very easy to learn when I was young?"

"I told you that you might have hurt your head at that time. You must not believe it." Jie Zizi shook his head and said.

After hearing this, Mr. Wen looked embarrassed and said in a low voice: "Meson, can't you give face to your sworn brother in such a prestigious place for learning?" After saying that, he turned to look at He Xinxian and Tang Ju again, and said,

With a smile on his face, he said: "In short, I was diligent and studious when I was young. It's a pity that due to various reasons, I dropped out of school and delayed my studies. It's really...a pity, a pity."

At this time, He Xinxian and Tang Ju were holding back their laughter. They suddenly discovered that although this young man was rich and powerful, his conversation was humorous and made people like him.

"Oh, by the way." As if he remembered something, Wen Shaobo asked the Hu guards behind him to bring two wooden boxes to He Xinxian and Tang Ju.

Seeing this, He Xinxian and Tang Ju were stunned and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

However, before they could feel disgusted by this move, Wen Shaobo smiled and explained: "When we first met, I didn't have anything to give you. This was by the way when I went to Chu and Han to do business.

I hope you two won’t refuse the books I bought.”

"Books from other countries?"

He Xinxian and Tang Ju were stunned for a moment, and the slight unhappiness in their hearts disappeared immediately - if Mr. Wen gave gold, silver and jewelry to them for the first time, it would be equivalent to humiliating He Xinxian and Tang Ju, but giving away books of the same value or even more valuable

, the meaning is completely different.

But, should I accept it or not?

He Xinxian and Tang Ju couldn't help but hesitate. Although they wanted to accept it, they were embarrassed.

At this time, Jie Ziyu stood by and said with a smile: "Two wise brothers, just accept it. Anyway, these books are piled up in his study room."

"Is this...appropriate?" Tang Ju asked with some confusion.

Seemingly seeing Tang Ju's concerns, Jie Ziyu said with a smile: "You two wise brothers, don't be fooled by my sworn brother. He has not prepared gifts specially. There are many gifts piled in his carriage. On weekdays,

When he met a scholar who he thought needed to build a good relationship, he would use this phrase. To use the words he quoted from His Highness Prince Su, this is also called investment, investment in favors... Let's pay ours and ignore him."

After listening to Jie Zigou's straightforward words, He Xinxian and Tang Ju looked at the somewhat depressed Wen Shaobo, suddenly realized, and finally accepted the gift.

In fact, they were in a good mood when they accepted the gifts, because Jie Ziu said that Wen Shaobo would only act like this when he met a young hero worth investing in. Doesn't this mean that he, He Xinxian, and Tang Ju

Is it the young handsome man?

Seeing the happy expressions of He Xinxian and Tang Ju, Wen Shaobo, who was pretending to be depressed, secretly smiled in his heart: Yes, it is true that Wen Shaobo is a businessman, but his sworn brother Jie Ziu is actually also a half-businessman. This is

No, just a few words made He Xinxian and Tang Ju happy, and the relationship between Wen Shaobo and those two people also became much closer.

Afterwards, the four of them chatted for a while and found that the crowd around them became excited.

They looked up and noticed that officials from the Ministry of Rites had appeared on the side of the wall outside the Confucius Temple. They were painting rice paste on the wall and preparing to post the list.

In previous years, the list was divided into two lists: "A" and "B". Among them, the A list had yellow paper as the base, so it was also called the golden list.

The number of people on the gold list is not fixed, but it is roughly one-third of the total number of people on the A and B lists in that year, and they are arranged in order of merit. The remaining two-thirds who pass the exam are placed on the relatively ordinary B list.

Generally speaking, for the subsequent palace examination held by Emperor Wei in the Wende Hall, only those candidates who were on the gold list were eligible to be selected, while those on the second list did not have this honor.

As for the total number of people on the list, it is determined by the Chui Gong Palace and the imperial court based on the lack of positions in the imperial system, and is not constant.

However, this year's list is different. The two lists no longer have high or low status, but only correspond to the two test questions of Paper A and Paper B in the National Examination.

Therefore, a gold list was posted on both sides of the gate of the Confucius Temple. The west side was the A list corresponding to the A volume, and the east side was the B list corresponding to the B volume.

"Quiet! Quiet!"

After posting the list, the official of the Ministry of Etiquette stopped all the candidates who wanted to come forward and said loudly: "Since this year our Ministry of Rites has adopted double examination papers for the first time, some regulations are still incomplete. Therefore, some students answered both A and A."

Paper B, and even Paper B, and even double high school rankings at the same time... Since this is an omission caused by the negligence of our Etiquette Department, our Etiquette Department will not cancel the results of these candidates, and will still follow their dual results.

The scores of the two test papers are calculated at the same time. However, in the end, test takers are only allowed to choose the scores on one of the lists and give up the scores on the other list. Therefore, test takers who are not on the list today should not be discouraged and wait.

In a few days, our Etiquette Department will post another exact list outside the office wall of our office...Finally, I would like to say something to some candidates who are on both lists, please report to our Etiquette Department office within three days and make a decision.

Which list.”

After saying that, he waved his hand and asked the guards in charge of order to put the exam papers over. He held a booklet, stood in front of the Confucius Temple, and loudly announced the names of the students who were on the list.

Convenient for those candidates who cannot squeeze in.

"The number one winner on the first list, the meson owl in Shangshui! ...The number one winner on the second list, the meson owl in Shangshui!"

In an instant, many candidates nearby were in an uproar, looking around to see which fellow candidate was so powerful that he was ranked first in both high schools at the same time.

At this time, on the second floor of a restaurant across from the Confucius Temple, Du You, the Minister of Rites, and several other officials of the Ministry of Rites, were standing by the window, quietly watching the students on the temple street.

To be fair, the fact that Jie Ziu was ranked on both lists at the same time was not an oversight by the Ministry of Rites at all, but a gimmick created by the Ministry of Rites and Zhao Hongrun after they discussed it and deliberately failed to specify the rules. The purpose was to create a topic.

For example, "The meson owl ranked first on the double list" is such a good topic. It is enough to ignite the craze for the general test again and become a topic that people in Liang and even the country talk about. It is bound to suppress Wei Guo's victory over foreign countries in consecutive years.

The warlike sentiment among the people caused by this further enhanced the status of the examination.

And is there any loss behind this gimmick? The Ministry of Rites has made it very clear that students who are on the double list at the same time will eventually give up the results on one list. In other words, "on the double list at the same time."

This is just a false name.

But it is this false reputation that ignites the enthusiasm of many candidates on Temple Street at this moment.
