Chapter 33: On the List
Outside the Donghua Gate, people squeezed the place where the list was posted.

"Oh, why are you squeezing?" The man who looked like a scholar shouted behind him.Behind him is a strong man with leopard head and eyes, and beard.

"Huh?" The strong man frowned and looked at the scholar.

"Gudong." The scholar swallowed, turned his head and said nothing.

The strong man didn't care about the scholars, he pulled out a man dressed as a servant from behind, put his hands under his armpits, and lifted him up high.

"How is it, where is the master on the list?" Zhang Buxie asked from below.

"Go a little further, I can't see clearly." The young man could read, so he was sent by Zhang Buxie to watch the list.

When Zhang Buxie heard this, relying on his burly figure, he arrogantly squeezed the crowd in front of him.Everyone was dissatisfied, and they were unwilling to speak when they saw his appearance.

"I see, I see, it's Tanhua, No. 2 in Yijia." The boy opened his eyes and searched for a long time, then suddenly said happily.

Tanhua here does not mean No.3, but is specially marked as the youngest person among the Jinshi, and will be at the forefront in the future cross-horse parade.

"Are you sure?"

"I see clearly." The boy raised his head to confirm for a few more times, the name and ancestry were all right, and then he said for sure.

"Okay, we'll all have rewards when we go back." Zhang Buxi put down the servant and said excitedly.

The two were happy, but when they were about to squeeze out, they found that a few people who looked like servants squeezed towards them.

"May I ask you two, who is your master?" the young servant who squeezed over first asked.

"You two are polite, my master would like to pay a visit to your master." Another servant came up.

Zhang Buhung was not from Bianjing, he didn't know the reason, but he frowned submissively, and the young servants who surrounded him were startled, he didn't seem to be too annoying.

"Everyone, my lord and my eldest lady are waiting for our report at home, please make way for us." The boy said.The boy's name is Chang'an, he was trained by the Sheng family, and he will be reserved as a steward of the foreign government in the future.

"Ahaha, please let me know. My master is Bianjing Qi's family, and I will come to visit when I have time." One of the servants heard that there was nothing to do, so he said a few perfunctory words, and then left.The rest of the servants followed suit and dispersed after that.

Zhang Buxie was puzzled, and wanted to ask, but this place was really not the place to talk, so he led Changan and squeezed out.

"Hey, there are a lot of people here." Even though Zhang Buhung's body and appearance had the upper hand, he was too tired to walk among the crowd.

"Chang'an, what did those people mean just now?"

"Brother Bu Hungry, this is to catch a son-in-law under the list. Most of those people are sent by Bianjing wealthy families to find a son-in-law. When they see what they like, they will be taken back, served with delicious food and drink, and discussed to see if they can get married. "Chang An said.

It is a feature of the Song Dynasty to catch a son-in-law under the list. When the list is released, the scholar is taken back, and he tries every means to make a marriage contract with him.To a certain extent, this feature reflects the status of the literati in the Song Dynasty, which has led to a bunch of roosters (knowledge) thinking about returning to the Song Dynasty in modern times.

"Students are still popular. In the future, my son will also send him to study, so you don't have to worry about finding a wife in the future." Zhang Buhun stroked his beard and said.

"Who said it wasn't? I heard that the old man who was the second bedroom of the Sheng family got engaged to the old lady in this way. It was a good talk at that time." Chang'an said with a smile.

In Yao Mansion, Sheng Shulan was walking back and forth anxiously.

Seeing her appearance, Yao Yi comforted her, "Don't worry, this palace test doesn't select people, at worst, you'll be a top-ranked Jinshi."

"Bah, bah, bah, how can you say such depressing words, how could your talent be only the top three." Sheng Shulan said bluntly.

This is the beauty filter that Sheng Shulan herself added to Yao Yi. He never wrote poems or lyrics in front of Sheng Shulan, and Yao Yi never thought of showing his talent anywhere.

"Why haven't you come back yet, He'er, send a few more people to take a look."

"Miss, you have already sent out two groups of people, there will be news soon." He Er persuaded.

"I know, but I'm just worried."

"I'm taking a scientific exam, Shulan, you're worried. Look, you haven't gotten fat these two days." Yao Yi joked, diverting her attention.

"According to what you're saying, did I gain weight a while ago?" Sheng Shulan rolled his eyes at him.

"No, no, just kidding." Yao Yi said with a smile.

At this time, the maid came forward, saluted and said, "Guard Zhang came back and reported that the Lord is a high school student."

"Okay, okay, there is a reward, a month's money will be rewarded to everyone in the family, and each person will make clothes." Sheng Shulan said happily.

"Okay." He'er happily responded.

"Don't worry now, can you sleep well at night?" Yao Yi stood up and pressed Sheng Shulan on the seat.

"By the way, He'er, send someone to announce the good news to Youyang's hometown, and send a letter to the second bedroom as well." Sheng Shulan reminded her again.

Announcing the good news is just one of them, and asking Sheng Hong to take care of him later is the second.Although Yao Yi is a Jinshi in high school, but he is not familiar with people in the court, and the Song Dynasty banned meeting with the master, Yao Yi really has no one to take care of him.Although Sheng Hong is only a fifth-rank official now, his father is Tanhua and has many colleagues and friends. With the financial support of the old lady and the big house, the relationship is not unfamiliar. Asking him to take care of Yao Yi is not considered helpless.

"Okay, let's talk about these things tomorrow. You should rest well today. You are more tired than me these days." Yao Yi said with some distress.

"Alright, tomorrow we will go to visit our uncle and ask him to inquire about the appointment." Sheng Shulan nodded in agreement, she didn't have a good rest these days.

"Old lady, the lord sent someone to tell me that my cousin was a high school student." Fang's mother came in and reported.

"Oh, this girl Shulan is very lucky." The old lady turned her hands around the beads, and the word Tanhualang reminded her of those days.

"That's right, Ms. Shulan's husband-in-law is very talented." Fang's mother laughed.

"Go and talk to the lord, and ask him to inquire about the appointment of the newly recruited scholars." The old lady ordered.

"My lord is a talented person and a relative, so I will definitely help."

"Ah."

"Ming Lan, it would be great if you could find such a husband-in-law in the future." The old lady turned her head to look at Ming Lan who was silent at the side.

"Why did grandma get involved with me?" Sheng Minglan said coquettishly, maybe she could only act so coquettishly in front of her grandmother.

"Your elder sister Shulan treats you very well. Every time she comes here, she brings you some gifts. Don't you prepare a congratulatory gift this time?" the old lady laughed.

"I don't have anything that brother-in-law Yao likes, why don't I cook a good meal for my sister and brother-in-law." Sheng Minglan turned her eyes and said.

"Okay, this will make you feel closer. Next time they come, you will be prepared." The old lady said with satisfaction. She likes Sheng Shulan very much, and it is also good for Minglan. She also hopes that if something happens in the future, Shu If Lan can help Minglan, she naturally hopes that their relationship will be closer.

"Then it's settled." Minglan smiled sweetly.

　This is a chapter about the imperial examination, but after thinking about it and not posting it, I feel boring, so let's speed up the progress.
