Chapter 128 127 Check the list, is it necessary to do it so early?
In this way, I would come early every morning to jog and exercise, and then read books, recite poems and practice calligraphy until the results of the imperial examination were announced.
Yuchi Yi, Jiang Chenxi, Gao Tai and Chen Qibao were only let go by a few busy senior brothers.
On April 15th, the weather was fine.
The place where the imperial examination results were announced during the Daqian period was posted on the wall of the South Courtyard of the Ministry of Rites, commonly known as the South Courtyard Announcement.
At dawn that day, General Liu brought the sleepy Liu Boxing to Anxin, which showed how much he valued his grandson's imperial examination.
Too.
If the son of a military general wants to become a civil servant, the royal family will not allow it unless the entire family is far away from the center of power.
But as a family of military generals, who can easily give up the rights that their ancestors exchanged their lives for and become a powerless commoner again?
It would be fine if there is no hostile family, but if there is, then you will become an ordinary person who is nothing.
And your enemies are still the powerful and wealthy. It is conceivable that those people will not give you or your descendants the opportunity to rise.
This is the case for many military families, even though they know they are risking their lives to defend their country in exchange for wealth and glory.
The reason why he wanted to take the more stable path of a civil official after his family prospered, but was unable to do so.
An Xin was woken up by the breeze with her eyes closed. She had no choice but to get dressed and wash up and go to the front hall to greet the guests.
The villain in my heart couldn't help but complain.
Anyway, there are officials in charge of watching over the posted list and they won't run away. Besides, there are so many people looking at the list that you may not be able to see it even if you go.
Oh my God! It's not even daybreak yet!
“!!!” Old man, why do you have to do it so early?
When General Liu saw An Xin walking in yawning, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his old face, and he wondered guiltily if he had come too early.
It is not easy for their military families to transform into civil officials who do not have to fight on the battlefield.
In the past, he had no hope for his only grandson who had no talent for studying. He never dared to dream that he would accompany his grandson back to the capital to take the imperial examination when he was already in his sixties.
I was so excited that I couldn't sleep last night. I couldn't help but wake up my grandson who was sleeping like a piglet early to pick up An Xin and others to go and watch the announcement of the results.
The old man looked at the young people who walked in, each calmer than the other, and began to wonder if he was the only one who was excited.
“…” I have to say, General Liu revealed the truth.
After participating in so many scientific expeditions in two years, the teenagers, who originally didn't care about anything, had already become numb and didn't feel anything big anymore.
Even Li Ziyu and Leng Xiangbai, who originally had plans for the imperial examination, were so cunning that even if they did not completely not care about how they performed in the exam, they would never let others easily see what they were thinking.
When General Liu took An Xin and seven others on a few horse-drawn carriages, they went to the teahouse that he had booked long ago.
An Xin drew aside the curtain of the carriage and saw that the street was bustling with people who had come to see the announcement of the results like them.
There are the candidates themselves, as well as their relatives and servants brought by them.
There were also some strong men who wanted to see the list earlier so that they could report the good news for the successful candidates and get some reward money.
The carriage arrived in front of an elegantly decorated teahouse. The owner saw General Liu and his group walking into the lobby, and enthusiastically told the waiter to take them to the reserved private room on the second floor.
No one had eaten breakfast before coming, so they each ordered their favorite tea and snacks, and finished their breakfast slowly while eating and drinking.
When An Xin opened the window and saw that this place was facing the South Courtyard of the Ministry of Rites, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
General Liu raised his head and chest like an old child, glanced at An Xin, and said proudly: "After all, I was a general in the capital. Although I have been away for many years, it is not difficult for me to book a room like this."
An Xin nodded to express his admiration for the old general.
The old man laughed out loud and was very happy.
Liu Boxing cast a look at his grandfather. Don't you know that it was my little hill chief who was teasing you? "Humph!" General Liu glared at his grandson to show that he was happy.
However, although An Xin wanted to make the old man happy, on a day like today, it was not something that ordinary people could book in a private room with such a good location as the one for viewing the list.
My praise also comes from sincere admiration.
Because the time for the announcement of the results had not yet arrived, Zhu Shijing sat there, playing with the golden abacus he carried with him.
An Rui and Liu Boxing, two silly guys, put their heads close together, chattering about some gossip.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
When they were chatting happily, the two of them would reveal an obscene smile and a weird look, and occasionally Jiang Zhou, who was sitting not far from them, would also join in.
An Xin couldn't help but twitch his eyes.
Perhaps General Liu had not slept all night, so he ate two pieces of cake, drank a cup of tea, and then sat in a chair and closed his eyes to rest.
An Xin leaned against the window and looked at the morning light that was about to rise from the east. Li Ziyu and Leng Xiangbai sat on the chairs opposite her, quietly accompanying her.
For a moment, the whole private room was filled with a sense of comfort and tranquility.
Da Zhuang, who was outside, led the servants brought by Li Ziyu and others to the stall nearby to have breakfast, and brought back two big meat buns for Xiao Mai, who was watching the carriage.
Afterwards, he, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, remained behind to watch the carriage while he led a few other people to the place where the results would be announced at the Ministry of Rites. Relying on his tall and strong figure, he led a few servants and squeezed to the front to wait for the results to be announced.
An Xin was lying on the window looking outside when she suddenly noticed a pair of eyes spying on her. She subconsciously lowered her head to look down.
I saw Young Master Xiao, who had competed with them in the Wangyue Restaurant on the Lantern Festival that day, looking up at her lying on the window with an obscure look in his eyes.
Following behind him were seven or eight of this year's imperial examination candidates. Although An Xin was not familiar with some of them, he knew them.
There was the handsome Liu Mingjie, Gao Zhihui from Tiande Academy, Ge Guangyuan from Huating Academy, and the arrogant and feminine-looking Tao Fei and Wen Changyi that day.
However, the looks they gave her were much more direct, with a hint of contempt in their unkindness. It seemed that they still felt that even though she was a woman with some talent, they would still disdain her to show up in public.
An Xin just thought they were funny, and she actually laughed. But the glaring sarcasm in her eyes made the faces of the people who looked up and saw her darken.
Gao Zhihui, who has always believed that women are inferior to men, said angrily: "A woman is so arrogant. She has no idea what she is talking about."
Li Ziyu and Leng Xiangbai were standing at the window on the second floor, looking down with deep eyes, looking at them with cold eyes.
When Xiao Wenjin and his group met the gazes of Li Ziyu and Leng Xiangbai, they felt that there seemed to be a wild beast living in their indifferent eyes, ready to eat anyone at any time.
It makes people suddenly startled and cold sweat breaks out on their backs.
