The sound of gongs and drums rang all the way from the gate of the prefect's office to the gate of the palace. Attracted a lot of people watching the fun.

"Why is the Wang family beating gongs and drums again, and someone in their family has been promoted again?"

"Speaking of which, this palace is really strange. Last year, their family's Master Juren passed the jinshi examination again. He was supposed to go to the capital to select officials, but he was stunned."

"Hey, how could I have heard of it?"

Fucheng has never been short of big families, let alone scholarly families. Among the twenty-two and thirty-six cities in Dachang, Wangbei County can also be ranked in the top five, and Fucheng is the best in Jiquan.

But the fact that the Wangfu became famous in Fucheng also stemmed from last August, when the only Juren master of the Wang family returned to Fucheng in vain, and everyone who saw him said that the Juren master must have passed the imperial examination and failed to obtain a jinshi.

But not long after that, everyone heard that Master Juren was awarded a jinshi!

Wang Chuangui went to Wanning City full of confidence, thinking in his heart that he would definitely not be able to compete with those who have been studying hard for more than ten years.

After he never wanted to be released, he only got a top three jinshi, and he was two or three short of the list, so he fell out of the list!

Wang Chuangui was deeply affected, and even Ma Shi and the new book boy who bought him specially were not able to comfort him.

When he thought of returning to Fucheng, his mother would roll her eyes and say to him, "I knew you were useless, but I didn't expect that you would be so useless. You have the face to come back to see me after taking the top three exams? Your face is really not as good as the city wall. How thin!"

If you pass the second-class exam, you can immediately choose to be an official, usually a seventh-rank magistrate, which is better than a nine-rank fake magistrate bought by donation, but it is also more difficult to climb up.

It is difficult, but it is not that there is no chance, grit your teeth, work hard, and it is possible to climb to the fourth rank.

But if you pass the top three exams, then you will be able to climb to the sixth rank at most on the Qingyun Road in this life, and you will be able to climb to the fifth rank.

Then how can I ask my mother for her life?

Not only that, he also wanted to get a wife for Tao Niang. His wife had been by her side for many years and worked hard, and he also wanted to give her a real gratitude.

The name of Mrs. Gao Ming is more real than any sweet words.

But he failed the exam!

"I'll ask if I can retake the exam." That night, Wang Chuangui went out with red eyes.

On the second day, the students in Wanning City discovered that the original places on the list had changed, and one person's name had been removed.

After inquiring again, I found out that a person who was born in a poor family actually voluntarily gave up this fame and asked to retake the exam three years later.

Because he was dissatisfied with his ranking, he gave up the imperial examinations. This is the first person in history!

You must know that the difficulty of the imperial examination will only increase every year, and there will never be fewer candidates. All the candidates from the county towns go to Wanning City, adding up to several thousand people.

These thousands of people are all local leaders, and many of them are the best, but only the top 200.

Passing the exam is a matter of strength and luck.

When Wang Chuangui returned home, he told Mrs. Wang about it. She thought it would lead to scolding, but she never thought that Mrs. Wang even raised the corners of her lips.

"Well, it's still not hopeless." He didn't mention Wang Chuangui's abandonment of the exam at all.

Wang Chuangui got a compliment inexplicably (thinking it was a compliment), and the whole person was dizzy, so he ran to share it with Ma Shi, and then went to ask Lao Wangtou.

"Dad, mother has high hopes for me again, does she also think that my son will be able to take the top three in three years?"

At this moment, Lao Wangtou was in the room, a huge stone was placed on the table, and he was beating with a hammer.

After hearing about it, he didn't lift his head: "No, it's just that you have to come back with a top-three reputation, and your mother may have to remove you from the household register."

Wang Chuangui's smile froze: "...It's not that serious, is it?"

"Too embarrassing."

Abandoning his fame, the outside world would laugh at him for being stupid. If he came back with his fame, he would laugh at their entire Wang family for pulling their crotch.

The old lady couldn't take it.

Wang Chuangui: "..."

Having said that, a group of people came to the gate of the palace beating gongs and drums, but the autistic Wang Chuangui didn't even hear it.

Wang Erlang and Jiang Wujing, who stayed at home, went outside first, but saw someone carrying a big thing covered with a red cloth.

That thing is terrifyingly tall, and there are more than one piece, a mighty group of people, all carrying similar things.

Wang Erlang was stunned: "What is this?"

The person walking at the front had a rotten smile on his face: "Congratulations, congratulations to the palace!"

Wang Erlang hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask where the joy comes from?"

"Do you still have elders in your family?" The man didn't answer, but asked instead.

"Yes, the official's family will wait a moment, the slave family will go and call the grandmother immediately." Jiang Wujing recognized the badge on the man's body, and knew that this man had an official position, and immediately turned back to the house to call Mrs. Wang and others.

At this moment, there was a large group of people at the gate of the palace, and everyone wanted to see what was going on.

When Mrs. Wang and everyone arrived, she only glanced at it, then turned to Wang Shilang who was standing by and said, "Let your father come out and set the incense table."

When Wang Chuangui was in the academy, he naturally learned all kinds of etiquette. When he heard that there was going to be an incense table, he knew that it was not a trivial matter, so he hurried to clean it up.

After instructing Wang Chuangui, Mrs. Wang asked Jiang Wujing and Zhou Chuchu to prepare the red seal together.

There are some prepared at home, and the old lady specially instructed that she must pack an extra large one.

Jiang Wujing is currently a little more knowledgeable in the family, and knows what grade of red seal is the best, and Zhou Chuchu knows what is more rich, so the two of them will naturally match better.

Seeing that the Wang family is so knowledgeable, the leader thought to himself: He is a discerning family, no wonder he can raise such excellent children.

After everyone was ready, the leader stood at the gate of the palace, holding his hand and said: "Feng Minghua Emperor said: Dongyue City is in trouble, and misfortune, the four virtuous sons of the Wang family, Wang Zilang, Wang Zizhao, Wang Zilan, and Wang Ruyu, will be wise. Beneficial, not chaotic in the face of danger... useful in eliminating chaos, I will give you a 'loyalty and brave' archway, a pair of jade Ruyi, a tree of blood corals, a national letter from the royal family, ... the descendants of Yi Zhao, this is honored!"

Mrs. Wang did not bow down, but stepped forward to receive the seal, and by the way, she stuffed a big red seal on the person.

The man pinched the thickness of the red seal with a smile at the corner of his mouth, not caring about the little things that the old lady didn't understand the rules.

After reading the decree, everyone tore off the red cloth, only to discover that it was indeed the top structure of the archway.

Made of all stone!

As long as a base is built under it, it can be used directly.

But everyone was in trouble: "Where is this archway going to stand?"

Mrs. Wang pointed to a large open space outside the door and said, "Just here."

"Grandma, but there are still two families in this street, not ours. They directly occupy the street, isn't it good?"

Never thought about it, the two families jumped out directly: "It's very good, very good, just stand here!"

Another family said: "No no no, I think this place is a little narrow, why don't we tear down the gate of my house and move it back a foot to make room?!"

Everyone: "..."

Wang Family: "..."
