The Eldest Daughter is Beautiful and Saucy

Chapter 306

In the early morning of the second day, after Bai Qingyan had finished practicing the red-tasseled silver spear in Qinghui Academy, Aunt Tong, who was working for Bai Qingyan, came back and brought two lists to Bai Qingyan.

"This is the girl's order to check the list of candidates who have settled in various inns to rush for the exam. Those who are talented have failed... and are dissatisfied with the list of candidates. Those circled above are those who have left the metropolis. In the capital city, I probably want to wait for the posting of the gold list to see who is in high school."

Nanny Tong unfolded another list: "This list is the purchase situation of each house that Lu Ping personally went to check..."

Bai Qingyan took the towel from Chuntao, wiped the sweat off her face and neck, and ordered Chuntao to prepare water.

Chuntao handed the warm tea to Bai Qingyan, then turned to order the kitchen to prepare water.

"It's a coincidence that Lu Ping went to the biggest rice shop in the capital early this morning. Before he had time to inquire, the clerk recognized Lu Ping. He thought that Lu Ping was sent by the second wife to buy for the second son-in-law. The man smiled and said, the second girl in our house is too cautious in doing things. People from Lu Xiang's house, Chen Taifu's house, Wu's mansion from the Ministry of Industry, and Fujun General Zhang's house, all send people after the examination. Buy a lot of red paper, firecrackers, prepare rice for the palace exam and give porridge after the results are announced!"

"But our second girl has been silent, and finally sent someone to bring the rice for the porridge to the mansion. It's not as much as half of the people in Lu Xiang's mansion and Chen Taifu's mansion! She even asked Lu Ping with a smile if she was the second wife. The elder knows... Lupine is specially sent to buy some more."

The people involved... are all important officials of the court.

Zhang Duanrui's family also bought it in advance?

Bai Qingyan handed the teacup in her hand to Nanny Tong, took a look at the list, Zhang Duanrui's eldest son was only eleven years old, and he also participated in the palace examination? I didn't hear what Zhang Duanrui said...

Seeing that Bai Qingyan's eyes fell on the mansion of General Fujun, Tong Nanny hurriedly said: "The elder brother of General Fujun died early, and the widow brought her eldest son to the capital city to take the exam this time, and lived in the mansion of General Fujun. The general's nephew is also included in the palace examination this time. The rest of the list are all officials' children who came from all over the country and bought a house in the capital, or lived in the uncle's or grandfather's house."

Calculating the time carefully, the main examiner has not yet started to discuss the ranking with the emperor.

Bai Qingyan handed over the list of mansions where congee was purchased in advance to congratulations and handouts to Nanny Tong: "Let people spread this list quietly, saying that these officials and honorable mansions have bribed the examiners, so they will guarantee... these people They must all be in the top ten!"

"Send someone to pretend to be a businessman or a student...and spread the word in the metropolis!" She pointed to the first list, "It must be spread to the ears of the failed candidates, and it must be fast! Let Uncle Ping Arrange people to encourage these candidates...Before the release of the gold list, beat the Dengwen drum, begging the emperor to uphold justice!"

Bai Qingyan thought while saying: "When the Dengwen drum sounds, the emperor will definitely investigate the fraud in the examination room, but if the names of these people are really in the top ten before the gold list is released, then the emperor will pay more attention to it, and pay more attention to it. You need to investigate carefully! It depends on whether these scholars dare to spend their lives studying hard for decades to gain justice for themselves, or bow their knees before the power."

"Yes!" Nanny Tong responded, and turned around to find Lu Ping in a hurry.

Nanny Tong didn't ask what the eldest girl was going to do.

Although Nanny Tong always wanted to persuade Bai Qingyan to be a daughter's family, but now that the Bai family has undergone major changes, Tong Nanny also knows that the Bai family must be supported by the eldest girl, because the eldest girl is the elder sister... yes The eldest daughter, this burden can only be carried by the eldest girl.

After the emperor's birthday banquet, the most eye-catching thing in the metropolis is now, after the palace examination, whether the No. 1 scholar will go to Chen Taifu's mansion, or Lu Xiang's mansion, or which poor family can win it.

Gambling has even started in the casino.

I don't know who leaked the list of seven people who made the default top ten, claiming that Lu Yuanqing, Lu Yuanbao, Chen Zhaolu, Wu Anbang, Zhang Ruohuai, Lin Chaodong, and Wang Chengyu are all children of noble officials. Greeted and given gifts.

Some people also mentioned that Zhang Ruohuai failed the exam several times as a Juren, so why this time he suddenly became a tribute student and wanted to take the palace exam.

Wang Chengyu's fellow countryman said that Wang Chengyu, the son of the governor of Yingzhou, had a dirty mouth and no ink. When he was in Yingzhou...every time the literati and scholars met in poetry, he always made fun of him. If such a person is in the top ten of the palace examination , that is really a big joke.

Except for Lu Xiang's two grandsons and Chen Taifu's grandson in the capital city, no one criticized them, the rest of the four people's backgrounds were exposed.

In the leader's inn, Xue Renyi, who was very well-known among the students, was extremely unconvinced because of his failure in the ranking. He kept drinking and insisted on waiting here for the gold ranking.

He thought that even if he didn't get a prize in the exam, he would definitely be in the top ten, and it was absolutely impossible for him to fail! Hearing about the top ten list, he was denouncing that the imperial examination was indeed tricky: "Wang Chengyu, who is that... that is an idiot! My Xue Renyi failed the ranking, and he entered... Who will believe it?!"

Xue Renyi's classmates were all comforting him.

The man sitting by the side of the inn took a sip of wine and said, "What's the use of you shouting here? If you have the ability, you can learn from the Princess Zhenguo and go beat the Dengwen drum to seek justice for yourself! Hearing the sound of the drum beating, His Majesty even demoted King Xin, the son-in-law, to a commoner and exiled to Yongzhou!"

Zhezi, who was appeasing his classmates, turned his head, a little annoyed by the man adding fuel to the fire: "The Princess Zhenguo was holding a bamboo slip with a record of the march, and we have no evidence..."

"Why is there no evidence? This list is evidence... If you dare to use your life to seek justice for yourself, beat the Dengwen Drum! If someone risked their lives to beat the Dengwen Drum, then His Majesty must weigh it up and check it out! If you are on the Golden List Before they were released, these seven people were really in the top ten, so your Majesty should not panic after hearing this?" The man stuffed the chopsticks and vegetables into his mouth, "Even a vulgar person like me can figure out the truth. People can't figure it out?"

The man smiled and picked up the wine glass, already looking drunk: "Only before the gold list was released, and even before the chief examiners and deputy chief examiners left the palace, you beat the Dengwen drum to meet the Holy One. Only the leaked list can play the biggest role!"

The few candidates who failed the exam looked at each other and thought that what this drunk man said was reasonable.

"I see...you are afraid of offending the powerful, so you don't dare!" The man put down the chopsticks in his hand and wiped his mouth with his hand, "I also come from a poor family, and I hate those officials and officials to bully others the most!"

Post it first, I haven't caught the bug yet...
