Chapter 152 Humiliated, reunited!

The list is similar every year, but the people are different every year.

Zhou Chengtang system, the imperial examination was held in early spring in February every year, and the ranking was released in March. Another year, the imperial examination list opened, and the Shendu once again entered the hustle and bustle of the scientific examination season. The spring March is the best season of the year, and it is also the season when Tang people who love outing love to go out of their homes the most. It is really a good time to go out of their homes in such a good season to catch up with the bustle of a new Jinshi. It is really a good idea to go out of their homes and it is perfect. [The latest updates are all in search of it.]

The tribute court released the results, crossed the horses and praised the streets, the emperor gave the banquet, and selected the sected flowers to visit the famous gardens. The arrangements of the court also made the people have something to see, so the annual excitement became more and more interesting. Over time, it naturally turned into a carnival of the Jin people that stirred up the entire capital.

During the carnival, the knowledgeable people of Shendu cannot help but feel a little regretful about this year's scientific examination season, especially compared with last year, the release of the results after the scientific examination this year seems too dull.

Think about it last year, the first imperial examination list of the Gongyuan Court immediately caused a riot of tribute students who shocked the world, causing dozens of internal rank officials to fall into the ground. Then, the scientific expedition was reopened and rioted again, which triggered a bloody killing on the streets of Shendu and under the gaze of everyone.

Thinking about the two scientific examinations last year, it was really ups and downs, one after another; looking at this year, it was so smooth that there was not even a ripple. It was not bad to have a smooth sailing, but from the perspective of watching the excitement, it was really not exciting enough.

When the idle men and good people in Shendu smacked their lips to compare the scientific tests in the past two years, sighed and even regretted the calm this year, someone was the first to wake up and asked loudly: "Where is Tang Song?"

This question seemed abrupt, but it made the people who were bored and basking in the warm sun in the early spring suddenly wake up. Yes, the reason why last year was so lively was not the reason that Tang Song was so lively! It is hard to say that the tribute student riots in the two scientific examinations were closely related to him. One was directly triggered and led by him, while the other was directly under the banner of opposing him.

Even after the scientific experiment, the excitement caused by Tang Song did not stop at all. Although the battle with the Eight Elders was vague, the market was still more or less aware of the world, let alone the fight between thousands of students and farmers outside Qingxin Village, and the subsequent scene of thousands of people being punished at the same time.

However, since then, as Tang Song disappeared and as Qingxin Village moved out of the capital of Shen, Luoyang returned to its previous calm. Last year, the hot boats that were closely related to Tang Song, making people's blood boiling became a terrifying sound.

Without Tang Song, Shendu seemed to have less vitality to stir up the world. Thinking, talking, and sighing, these idle men and good people who were busy watching the scientific examination results on the streets of Shendu actually felt a little lonely and sad.

Of course, the sadness of these idle men and benevolent people will not affect the glory of the new Jinshi. As the center of attention in the city in recent days, the new Jinshi in today's academic year are at the most prosperous time in their lives. They have too much reason to be excited, carnival, and enjoy those envious or jealous, or the most spicy eyes.

The same is true for most new Jinshis, but there is always Ran Wai in everything, such as the four new Jinshis who are all in the subject.

The imperial list is just around the corner, and the spring is bright and the city is paying attention. This is the time when other new Jinshis were wearing new official clothes to enjoy honor outside. Chen Changlai, Peng Huabo and Yan Guangjun gathered at Zhang Qingyun's home and sat in depressed.

Zhang Qingyun's family is far from good, so there is no difference between a flower hall and a study room in the house. All four of them are sitting in a dim adobe house with a somewhat dark light, and the atmosphere is stagnant and solemn.

The biggest among the four, the most calm person is Peng Huabo. The one with the most impatient temper is Yan Guangjun. After holding it in such a stagnant and solemn atmosphere for a long time, he heard the lively streets outside and boasting about the new Jinshi. Yan Guangjun could no longer hold it in and suddenly stood up. He didn't care about the banging sound caused by Hu Tang falling to the ground and knocking over other things. He said irritably: "If they don't treat us as human beings, we won't serve you anymore! Let's burn this bird's official clothes and we chased Manager Yu and went south to surrender to the young master..."

At this point, Yan Guangjun, who was so angry that he was turned around and kicked the fallen Hu Tang hard, causing another bang, "When the young master is here, who dares to bully us like this? But there are people like this, and whether they are losing or winning, they always have a good time. Why can't they get rid of others and get angry like they are now? I don't believe it. When he is by his side, can he ignore us? If we follow him, we can't do something?"

Looking at Yan Guangjun who was firing like a firecracker, Chen Changlai and Zhang Qingyun looked at each other and gritted their teeth.

Thinking about the scene on the day of the opening of the emperor list, it feels like a different life.

When the four of them saw their names on the imperial list that day, they were so happy that they could no longer contain their excitement, and they were about to explode.

The young master did not lie. The court did have a general degree. Those small merchants who had long abandoned their studies actually became Jinshi in high school!

He became famous all over the world overnight, and overnight, he became an official from a small businessman!

The joy of the day was so beautiful, so beautiful that it was trembling all over. It was so beautiful that everything was floating, so beautiful that when I thought of the scene of Guangzong's glory, I couldn't help but giggle. Yan Guangjun actually roared in the tribute court where thousands of scholars gathered, causing the officials of the tribute court to be in a false alarm, thinking that there was another riot in the tribute college this year.

Unfortunately, this dreamy beauty will be destroyed immediately after a short period of time. This is a process that every new Jinshi must go through. As a new Jinshi, no one will inform them of such a thing, and naturally no one will let them go together.

When they came to the door with panting, they were cold eyes. When the other new Jinshi saw them coming, they immediately avoided them, as if they were carrying plague. The master did not look at them, said nothing to them, did not serve tea, and even didn't even watch the seat.

The master obviously did not mean to regard them as disciples, and the other new Jinshi did not think of them as the same year at all. The contempt in his eyes when he looked at them was not concealed at all.

After attending the imperial teacher, there were also a series of processes to enter the imperial city to live in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel to handle affairs. Every time I went there, it was a cold-eyed journey. Even the officials in the imperial city dared to blatantly look down on them. The cold eyes and sadness in the middle were really hard to describe. Afterwards, I felt that my golden body was cold.

The discrimination of the new Jinshi and the discrimination of the imperial officials was unbearable, but this was not the Jin tribe. In the end, they found that even the people of God and the people pointed at them and said all kinds of crazy laughter and laughter that made people unable to listen to them.

At this point, except for the names of the four of them on the imperial list, they did not enjoy the glory that a new Jinshi should have. Instead, they became concentrated recipients of all kinds of cold eyes, contempt and laughter.

All of this originated from their origin as a Jinshi of the General Studies Department, an unprecedented origin that was extremely ridiculed as a "mixed family". So these new Jinshi of the General Studies Department naturally became "seven".

Who can bear such a shame? What's more, the new Jinshi from other subjects has been distributed, but the four of them have not received any notice from the Ministry of Personnel, so they cannot hide from the capital. They have to endure it again and again, and tolerate it until now, Yan Guangjun finally broke out.

Yan Guangjun, who was in a hurry, said louder and louder, and pulled the package containing the new official clothes in his hand to pull the official clothes into pieces.

At this moment, Peng Huabo pressed Yan Guangjun tightly, "Have you made enough trouble? If you make enough trouble, just think about the young master's explanation that day, Manager Yu's instructions! Sit down."

Hearing this, Yan Guangjun trembled and finally threw the official clothes on the ground with hatred, "I'm so suffocating!"

Peng Huabo took two steps forward and picked up the official clothes on the ground again, and his voice became more and more low and solemn. "Even if you are so stuffy, you have to hold it back. Now the future of the four of us is no longer the honor and disgrace of one person, but it is related to the survival and future of the entire Tongke.

If we can't help it now, we won't talk about the future of the general sciences and the humiliation we have suffered these days will be in vain..."

At this point, Peng Huabo glanced at the three of them coldly, "If you want to take revenge, you have to hold it tightly. When you can't help it, you will think about how the young master built the Qingxin Village that day. What happened to Qingxin Village and what happened to us?"

The atmosphere in the room was still heavy, but with Peng Huabo's deep words, a tragic thrill of depression arose in the silent adobe house.

"Well said. It is unprecedented in general. It is an extraordinary thing. If you want to prosper, you will suffer from extraordinary setbacks. Confucius said: 'God will give you great responsibilities to this person..." With a crisp sound of stroking his palm and praising him, He Zhizhang, wearing a blue official suit, walked in from outside.

Seeing that he was here, Peng Huabo and others hurriedly came forward, and even Yan Guangjun forced a few smiles to show his face.

The four of them are so intimate, not because of He Zhizhang's identity as a criminal record, but because he was the first person to follow the young master and is still working for the general subject. Although he has never been to Taoxinzhuang, he is an absolute person.

Since the beginning of entering Qingxin Village, people have been regarded as aliens and have been under strong pressure from the outside world. This time, they have experienced a lot of humiliation and exclusion. Peng Huabo and others' identification with "one of their own people" has been strengthened to a point of being a little paranoid.

After the meeting, the five people sat down again. He Zhizhang looked at the four people carefully and said with a smile: "Tongke finally has the first batch of Jinshi. If you see you here, you will be extremely relieved! Thinking about Tongke's experience from scratch, it is really thorny everywhere. On that day, the adults were criticized by thousands of people. The scene of the black clouds in Qingxin Village being sieged by thousands of students seemed to be yesterday..."

He Zhizhang spoke casually, as if he was just recalling the past, but Yan Guangjun lowered his head slightly after hearing this.

After looking at him, He Zhizhang continued to smile and said, "All the adults have experienced these days, and it is even more so than what you have encountered. You have experienced Qingxinzhuang in person, and there is no need for me to say more. But during this period, have you ever heard a complaint when facing difficulties?"

Yan Guangjun's head lowered.

"If you want to do such an unprecedented thing, how can you not be wronged? If you want to be wronged, just grit your teeth and do it, believe in yourself, believe in Tongke, and believe in adults, one day you will get the glory and respect you deserve..."

After saying this, He Zhizhang laughed, "After talking nonsense, let's get back to the point. The four of you have decided to give the official position and distribute it..."

"really?"

"real!"

"Can I still lie to you like this?" He Zhizhang stopped talking nonsense and directly told all the information he learned about.

After hearing the grade, salary and distribution place were clear, the four of them no longer doubted. Yan Guangjun said "Hey", "Now I finally made a breakthrough. Let's go to the Ministry of Personnel to handle the documents. When the documents are printed, I will leave immediately. I will leave this ghost place immediately. I really don't want to keep it for a day..."

"You should settle down if you want to leave your family..." As he spoke, He Zhizhang took out four flying tickets from his sleeve and distributed them. "This is the cost of the dish I have prepared for you. You four of you don't have many family members. You just take them to your post with me. You can feel at ease after taking office..."

Seeing the amount of flying tickets in his hand, the four of them felt hot, "Since they have been appointed as officials, they can be worshipped by officials and posts along the way when they take office. They must not spend much money. The young master carries a lot of money and uses a lot of money. The flying tickets are still left where they should be used. We have received the favor and we dare not receive them again..."

He Zhizhang pushed their hand back, "The feet and teeth of the car, boat, shop, and the feet should be killed. If you are snobbish, the people in the court and the inn are not ranked first and second. Just because of your official rank, you still have family members. If there is no copper in your waist, I don't know how much cold eyes and punishment they will suffer! The adults have said that they don't want you to be frustrated by these villains; they don't want your family to suffer again. You know that his temperament. What he has decided is that the sky will fall and will not change. Since he gives it, please take it away..."

Although it was He Zhizhang's retelling words, for Peng Huabo and others, Tang Song suddenly realized that Tang Song was right in front of him. Yan Guangjun, who had a relatively exposed emotion, had a red eyes immediately. He could follow such a young man who was responsible, dared to take responsibility, and was as careful as he could even help you think it was right. Not to mention that he was doing big things with him, even if he sold his life to him, it was worth it!

People treat me with national talents, and I repay them with national talents. Those who are confidants will die!

Seeing the four people receiving the flying tickets with excitement, He Zhizhangcai said again: "As usual, there will be a three-month leave after the distribution of the new Jinshi. The place where you four are awarded officials is not too far from where your wife is now. So, if there is nothing else, you can go to the Ministry of Personnel to handle the documents and seals and then set off afterwards. Shangguan Yu will walk with you along the way for both care and guidance..."

As soon as this said, the four of them were overjoyed. Yan Guangjun immediately went out to stay in the Ministry of Personnel. Seeing his urgent appearance, he really wanted to go south immediately.

When entering the imperial city and the Ministry of Personnel again, they would inevitably suffer from cold eyes and contempt. However, at this time, the mentality of the four people was different from the previous ones. They just kept all this in their hearts, but refused to make mistakes.

After all the things that should be done were done, the four of them did not delay for a moment, locked the yard and took their families all the way south.

The four of them are now all official, and Shangguan Yu, who was born in the guise of Shengyi, was accompanied by the care of him. He was not short of money, so he went smoothly along the way and arrived outside Yangzhou City that morning.

Before a few people entered the city, a strong horse ran out of the city, and was still far away. The man immediately shouted loudly: "Brother, you finally came, you miss me to death..."

As soon as the voice was over, the horse was approaching. The horse immediately jumped down and pulled Shangguan Yu, who was riding on the horse, hugging and shooting, which was so intimate.

Shangguan Yu, who was often serious, also showed a sincere smile on his face and looked Shangguan Jin carefully, "Last time, your third brother wrote to him that you are now in charge of the largest seal club in Zionnan, but is there any such thing? By the way, why didn't the third brother come?"

"Can the third brother still cheat you? Now, the best books in the world are all out of my hands. The third brother wants to come, but they just moved from Tongxian County. The third brother wants to cook the Yichun Zhuangzi! The stall matter is really inseparable. But this is not too bad. In the past few days, the young master will go and see the third brother with him..."

Seeing that Lao Wu was like this, Shangguan Yu was really happy. "It's rare that the young master trusts you and Lao Wu so much, so he must not do anything bad..."

At this moment, Yan Guangjun on the side couldn't help but interrupt and said, "This is Shangguan Wuye. Do you say that Manager Yu and the others are already in the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of

When he was in Shendu, Shangguan Jin had been in Qingxin Village for a while. Although he could not name his name, he was familiar with Yan Guangjun and others. After being introduced by Shangguan Yu, he became enthusiastic. "Manager Yu and others arrived seven days ago and went to the new Yichun School after resting in Yangzhou for three days. As for the young master, he was going to welcome you in person, but when he left, there were visitors who came to pay their respects, and he couldn't refuse..."

Hearing this, Yan Guangjun shook his hands, "Who can we dare to let the young master greet you?" Although he said this, his face was quite regretful, obviously he was regretful that he could not see Tang Song immediately.

Shangguan Jin was a straightforward and cheerful person. Seeing that they were like this, he no longer delayed it. He called his companions to bring their families into the city to settle down. He himself took four people to take a boat along the Guan River to find Tang Song.

Yan Guangjun and Shangguan Yu were all from the north, and they had never been to the south water town of Zhe. During the deep spring season, wandering on the clear and green Guan River, enjoying the prosperity of Yangzhou on both sides of the Guan River. It was really unspeakable and pleasant.

The boat was walking slowly, and after about three incense sticks, the ship turned the rudder left, and the fish-like boat sailed into a lotus garden next to it with about two or three acres of water.

Lotus is planted on the water surface around the garden, with lotus leaves paved and straight, and some new lotus are in bud. Fish are playing under the leaves, and the willows are lush in the distance, like smoke and fog. It is a refreshing and poetic scene.

While several people were admiring the beautiful scenery in front of them, Yan Guangjun pointed at a lotus leaf in front of him and said excitedly: "Young Master!"

Peng Huabo and others looked in the voice and saw the young master wearing a light robe and sleeves sitting cross-legged in a boat. Behind him was there a girl in a flowing cloud skirt, stroking the table and singing the piano.

The sound of the piano is clear, the green smoke is curling in the incense burner, the mulberry leaves and lotus flowers are used as the backdrop, and the water breeze blows the corners of the sleeves of the clothes. At this moment, the young master who has not seen for several months is elegant in appearance and spirit, looking at it, it looks like a god in the painting
