Chapter 874 Someone made a wrong idea (1)
The results of the first round of re-examinations came out the next day, and Mo Qingzes name appeared high on the list. Of course, this kind of exam is designed to determine the top 30, and the ranking is very arbitrary. The appearance of one's name at the top does not mean that one person's policy performance is better than others. Therefore, it is impossible to tell who is likely to win the top spot just by looking at the list.
However, due to Mo Qingze's repeated outstanding performance, among the students, the call for winning the first place is still the highest.
After knowing the result, Mo Qingze just nodded without saying anything more, and continued to read with the door closed, sorting out some unfamiliar and incomprehensible knowledge, including some content that seemed to have nothing to do with the scientific examination.
Others in the Mo family also performed their duties and lived their lives as usual without much change.
Compared with the peace of the Mo family, the twenty-nine students living in the capital waiting for the last round of palace examinations are not so lucky. Any young man who has not married a wife has become a favorite in the eyes of others, especially those from official families with unmarried girls.
Most of these officials have low official positions. It is unrealistic to marry their daughter into a high-ranking family, so they want to choose a promising student as their son-in-law. When the son-in-law becomes successful, the in-law family will naturally rise; even if he cannot get ahead, Its not much different, you wont lose anything.
There are many people with this mentality, so regardless of their family background, the twenty-nine students, except for a few old men who are over fifty years old and have grandchildren, all the others of marriageable age are being targeted.
As for whether these people are engaged or not, it is not something that officials will consider. Some students who noticed the signs even refused to take a wife in order to get a noble family. If we can get help from the Yue family, we will have to struggle for ten or even decades less. There is no shortage of people in this world who want to be Chen Shimei!
As night approaches, the lanterns begin to light up. In the Zhuque Alley near the palace, the lights are like stars in the blue sky. On the verandahs of every household, exquisite lanterns are lit. Ordinary people who are told to save lamp oil may feel distressed and have to pounce on them all to extinguish them all.
It may seem like a luxury, but to the people living in Zhuque Lane, this is nothing at all. Just because all the most powerful officials in the court live in Zhuque Alley, the luxury and wealth here are beyond the imagination of ordinary people outside.
At this time, a luxurious and extraordinary carriage drove far away from the main road of Zhuque Lane and stopped steadily in front of the main entrance with a "Zhao Mansion" plaque hanging high.
The coachman quickly jumped out of the carriage and opened the door. He was obviously sixteen or seventeen years old, but he bowed his waist and said respectfully to the people in the carriage: "Master, we are here!"
After saying that, he immediately knelt down on the ground. The height of his arched back was just one step lower than the shaft of the carriage.
The next moment, a middle-aged man wearing a second-grade official uniform with a general belly lifted the curtain and poked his head out. This middle-aged man is none other than the head of the Zhao family, Mr. Zhao Fengnian, the Minister of Taichang Temple.
Mr. Zhao seemed not to have noticed the person kneeling on the ground. He stepped on the coachman's back with one foot very naturally. Unexpectedly, despite his weight of nearly two hundred kilograms, he was able to get out of the carriage firmly.
He hurriedly stepped into the gate of Zhao's house without even looking at the coachman who was still lying on the ground.
The young coachman stood up with a grin on his face. He unconsciously raised his hand and pressed his back where he had been stepped on.
Having been on duty for half a month, my body is still a little unaccustomed to it!
