The world of rebirth

When Ning Yunjin woke up the next day, he only felt a terrible headache, and his stomach seemed to be churning.He didn't even remember how he came back, but he had a vague impression that he had a dream of Wenzhen, followed by endless drinking.

He was so happy yesterday, he didn't try to get rid of the alcohol at all, at the most beautiful moment of life like that, only a fool can clear his mind.

After running cross-legged for a week, Ning Yunjin suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, and even his mind became clearer.Although he relieved the discomfort after being drunk, his stomach still throbbed faintly, which made his face turn pale.

Seeing his appearance, the old lady couldn't help but blame him, and asked Ning Yunjin to go back to the room to rest without stopping him.

Saying that it was a rest, how could he rest, and hurriedly drank a few sips of clear porridge, then Ning Yunjin took his father's ride to the yamen together.These newly-disciplined Jinshi are going to Honglu Temple to learn the basic etiquette of being an official, and receive uniforms, crown belts and the most important academic diploma certificate-Jinshi Baobao.

When he arrived, he saw that other people were even more embarrassed than himself, and they were even drunk, so he immediately felt calm.

"Yun Jin is really amazing. He looked so good after being drank by them yesterday." Xu Youyou rubbed his temples and walked to his side, his staggering steps showed that he was suffering from a hangover.

"This is called extraordinary talent!" Ning Yunjin proudly said, "But if it weren't for the help of Brother Zhishan, Brother Ji Qing, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get up today."

"Thanks to your thanks, we didn't work in vain last night." Sun Benshan said with a smile, this time his grades were not as good as the two, but he still won the top three, and he was also satisfied with being a fellow Jinshi.

When the three of them were talking, someone came up to chat with them from time to time, and gradually gathered into a small group, and they didn't disperse until the people from Honglu Temple came.

Ning Yunjin always felt that there was a line of sight lingering on him vaguely, he pretended to glance in that direction casually, and found that it was actually that Hu Rui.

Although his movements were very secretive, Xu Youyou didn't need to pay attention to his every move almost all the time, so he naturally discovered the reason. He whispered, "Yunjin, do you know that Tanhua?"

Ning Yunjin shook his head, "I don't know."

"His eyeballs are almost glued to you, it's too rude." Xu Youyou frowned dissatisfiedly, but he was muttering in his heart, could it be that man also...

"Well, it's hard to give up on a natural beauty, so he'll take a look at it if he wants to." Ning Yunjin pretended to be troubled, and confuse the topic with gags.

In fact, Hu Rui's gaze was so infatuated, he clearly just wanted to find familiar places on his face.In fact, he was already secretly suspecting that the youngest champion of the new discipline was the little boy back then.

But firstly, the child was too young at that time, and his appearance is a little different now when he grows up, and secondly, he didn't observe it carefully, if it wasn't for the fact that the two of them were so good looking, they were just roommates for one night He didn't remember it for a long time.

Yesterday he had heard a lot about Ning Yunjin's deeds from the students in the capital, especially mentioning that the other party had saved him in the south of the Yangtze River.If the young man who was by Ning Yunjin's side back then was the emperor, even if it was to disguise his identity back then, it would be a crime of disrespect!

It's a pity that the palace examination and the atmosphere in the Golden Palace yesterday were too solemn, and I really didn't dare to look directly at Longyan...

On this day, the Xinke Scholars were hungover, with different thoughts in their hearts, and they were busy going around under the instructions of the officials of Honglu Temple.After learning the etiquette, I put up a thank-you form to thank the emperor, and then thanked the teacher and worshiped the Confucius Temple. After a series of things, even Ning Yunjin felt exhausted, let alone those delicate and frail authentic scholars. .

Xu, who was standing beside him, was better, at least he could still walk. Sun Benshan, an otaku, couldn't even take a step until the last step, so he had to be supported by Ning Yunjin.

Seeing his flattered, excited and excited look, Ning Yunjin really felt quite embarrassed.

It was not easy to reach the last step - erecting the Jinshi Nomination Monument, and the Jinshi who were like eggplants suddenly became energetic.

This monument has been a custom that has lasted for many years. The Ministry of Industry came forward to erect a monument, engraved the names of all Jinshi in the undergraduate course, and then erected it in the forest of steles of the Guozijian for the world to admire. It can be said that it is a good opportunity to go down in history.

The vast majority of men have worked tirelessly all their lives, even if they are looking forward to such a moment, they can't blame them for being excited!

The inscription tablet is made of white marble, more than one foot high, and Ning Yunjin can tell at a glance that the six large characters in seal script on it, "Record of Nomination for Scholars" were written by Wen Zhen himself.

The stele is divided into two parts, the first half is the content of the imperial edict Zuo Shiheng read yesterday, full of gorgeous compliments to the emperor's kindness and praises for undergraduate Jinshi, and the lower half is engraved with the list of Jinshi.

Since the names and places of origin of Jinshi have to be engraved, hundreds of people's names are densely packed. If you want to find your own name on it, if you don't search according to the ranking, you can only use the skill of "everyone finds faults".

Only the top three of the first class are the most special. The names of the three of them occupy a line alone, and Ning Yunjin's name is the most conspicuous, so that he can see his own name without leaning forward, so he stands at the back of the crowd. Smile proudly.

After finishing these things, the officials who had been complimenting them before dispersed, and Ning Yunjin could really relax.

On the way back, Sun Benshan sighed and said, "With the aura of Jinshi in the new department gone, we are just ordinary officials."

"Isn't it!" Xu couldn't help but feel sad, "Except for a few yin-en-scholars, none of the other Beijing officials came from the top two rankings."

Ning Yunjin couldn't help rolling his eyes, "Come on, you two, it's already a great honor for us to be named on the gold list, and we will work hard in the future."

"Yunjin, you are really..." Xu Youyou shook his head, "But you don't have to worry about your future with the emperor taking care of you."

"Come on! It's not kind for Zhishan to say that." Sun Zhishan said depressedly, "At least you two have already confirmed that you can enter the Imperial Academy, and I still have to prepare for the imperial examination in three days!"

Hearing what he said with such a bitter face, both Ning Yunjin and Xu Needless laughed.

The title of the gold list seems to be beautiful, but it is not a step to the sky. Except for the top three in the first class who are sure to enter the Imperial Academy, everyone else has to take the exam.This morning exam is quite an assessment for graduation assignments. Although it only accounts for [-]% of the total score, it cannot be ignored.

"By the way." When the three of them bid farewell to each other at the fork in the road, Sun Bushan suddenly said, "The last painting can be mounted tomorrow, and when my imperial examination is over, the three of us should have a good drink and play the piano to enjoy the painting. "

Ning Yunjin was very curious about those two paintings, so he naturally agreed.

He got a three-day vacation, but he couldn't take a good rest. Firstly, he had to socialize with relatives and friends, and secondly, he was preparing to open the new store that he had planned before.

This time he is going to open a store that sells braised meat. Originally, it was just to satisfy his own appetite, but everyone said it was delicious. Ning Yunjin thought of all kinds of XX duck necks that became popular all over the country in later generations. Planning to open such a store in Beijing.

However, due to the different views on consumption in ancient times, most of them were sold whole. Although we don't expect this business to be as profitable as Wenxiangju, it is estimated that it will make a lot of money.

Although he has made a lot of money over the years, he also spends a lot of money. Wenxiangju's income is divided into big brother, so he can't do it anymore. After opening this store, he plans to share [-]% of the bonus to Qiaoping as a dowry. That girl It is a concubine who is not as noble as her elder sister, and she must marry worse, and she needs more money.

Time flies very fast when he is busy, and soon the three-day vacation will pass. On this day, he put on a brand new uniform and went to the Department of Anthology of the Ministry of Officials to register.

Generally speaking, the number one scholar is compiled from the six-rank Hanlin Academy, but he himself has a very high title, and he is the first champion in this dynasty to win three consecutive awards, and he is in the heart of the emperor, and anyone with a discerning eye can see this title The Emperor of the Monument would write it himself, and it must be in his honor, so everyone is very interested in Ning Yunjin's arrangement.

Unexpectedly, Wenzhen didn't do extra tricks on this matter, and let him step by step become a sixth-rank Imperial Academy editor.Under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Officials, Ning Yunjin rushed to the Imperial Academy to report.

The Imperial Academy is an institution with a relatively simple structure but rather complex functions. It is equivalent to the emperor's secretariat, the Central Party School, the Historical Archives Office, and an academic research institution.

When he arrived at the Imperial Academy, the first person Ning Yunjin would visit was naturally his immediate superior.There are two academicians in the Hanlin Academy, both of whom are second-rank officials. In terms of titles, Ning Yunjin is only first rank than them, so they are more polite to him.

Among them, the master in charge of Zhengyin is Zhu Zhuo, one of the chief examiners of this subject, who happens to be Ning Yunjin's teacher.He looked at Ning Yunjin benevolently, and said with a smile, "After three days of rest, he looks much better!"

Ning Yunjin is already an actor-level acting skill now, without even blinking his eyes, he switched to a shy expression, and said embarrassingly, "Student Meng Lang!"

"It's one of the four joys in life to be named on the gold list. It's normal to be happy!" Zhu Zhuo said warmly, "But now that you have entered the court and become an official, you have to gather your thoughts in the future."

Ning Yunjin hastily cupped his hands and said, "Thank you teacher for your warning."

Zhu Zhuo saw that he was respectful to him, although his eyes were confident and energetic but without any pride, he couldn't help sighing in his heart that the Ning family taught their children well.

The 13-year-old Zhuangyuan Lang was a proud young man, even if he is frivolous, ordinary people can understand it.If it were someone else, I'm afraid the tail would be up to the sky with pride, but this child is still so honest and humble, no wonder even the emperor likes him, it seems that the rumors circulating in the palace may not be false.

When Ning Yunjin saw the old fox in front of him pretending to flip through his own information on the table, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of work he was going to assign to him, but you said something, it would be a waste of his time just to spend an afternoon like this!

How did he know that Zhu Zhuo was also thinking about how to arrange it!

According to the usual practice, the champions of the new subjects are thrown away to follow the former criminals to discuss the history of writing, that is, to write all the emperor's congratulatory articles, book treasure articles, etc., or to compile memorabilia, hadith, etc.

However, when Zhu Zhuo was chatting with Li Deming about Ning Yunjin two days ago, he heard that the emperor liked this new champion very much, and he most liked to call him to chat.

It wasn't the first day he worked beside the emperor, and he had seen many times that the emperor delayed other summons while talking to Ning Yunjin.There have long been rumors in the palace that although Ning Yunjin is not a prince since a few years ago, he is treated far more than a child of the clan, so naturally he cannot be arranged at will.

When Ning Yunjin was waiting impatiently, Zhu Zhuo finally figured it out, and said directly, "It would be too wasteful to edit it with your talent, so let's read it as an attendant!"

Ning Yunjin was stunned when he heard that, the emperor's attendant is not a good job, he has to wait in the minister's study during the day, and at night he has to be on duty in the palace in different shifts, and he has to follow the emperor when he travels. Although the official position is not high, But it can be said that he is inseparable from the emperor day and night.

It is said that a companion is like a tiger, and when he thought of "seeing Wenzhen every day" in the future, he couldn't help but feel his scalp go numb!
