Chapter 108 108 It’s time to change your clothes

These days, the brothel and restaurant business in Nanchang Fucheng has been very good.

There is no way, so many scholars are pouring in at once, and it is impossible to have a bad business.

Except for the day before the exam, the business will be much lighter all of a sudden, and the people will be crowded at other times.

The visitors are not only scholars and students who are on the list of current subjects, but also those who fail to come here to drink to relieve their sorrows.

Wei Guangde and his group were naturally not frustrated. After a night of carnival, he didn't know how to go back to the inn. At this time, he opened his sleepy eyes and felt a little ache in his head. He drank a little too much last night.

Of course it’s not that he doesn’t want to sleep for a while, but it’s because the knock on the door has been getting more and more urgent.

He got up and opened the door. Although he was a little disheveled, Wei Guangde didn't care much and just wanted to deal with it as soon as possible so as to continue sleeping for a while.

When I opened the door, I saw a waiter looking at him with a pleasing smile. He couldn't stop talking about congratulations to the scholar of the young master and the scholar of the high school in the next provincial examination.

"What's the matter? I keep knocking on the door."

Wei Guangde was disturbed by Qingmeng and was in a bad mood. Although the waiter was speaking auspicious words, his tone was also not good.

"The yamen's mission has come to send a good news. There should be other things to do. I'll get you water now and ask the young master to wash it downstairs."

The waiter knew that Wei Guangde had disturbed him and rested, but he still said to him with a smile.

"Good news? The red list has been posted, so what else can I send?"

Wei Guangde said in surprise.

He didn't know about this, it was actually normal. Whether it was Wu Dong or Zeng Yuanshu, neither of them had passed the first exam and were defeated, so they left Nanchang City early, and what else was there behind?

They didn't know anything at all, and they were not interested in inquiring.

The waiter looked at Wei Guangde and felt that the child in front of him might not know. He hurriedly said, "After winning the scholar, the yamen will send good news according to the registered accommodation address, that is, to ask for some good money, and they will bring you to learn.

The master's order is a must."

While speaking, the doors of several rooms were opened next to him. Zeng Yuanshu was also standing there with a disheveled face and talking to the waiter in front of him.

Wei Guangde knew what was going on, and it was nothing, but if the official came here with some news, he would really have to pay attention.

Although he has transformed from a Tongsheng into a scholar, he is only so good at it. His academic qualifications and literature are still in the hands of the college officials. The college officials can eliminate the fame of scholars, although not much is used.

, and most of them have serious negligence to develop to this point.

"Catch water quickly."

Wei Guangde knew that this matter should not be careless, so he immediately said to the waiter.

However, at the moment of turning around, Wei Guangde asked casually, "How many scholars have passed the exam in the store this year."

I didn't pay attention yesterday, and the places where the students went together were different, so Wei Guangde really didn't know the situation of other candidates who stayed in this inn.

Although most of them are not familiar with each other, after staying for so many days, everyone has known each other for a long time. At least they have to be polite and humble when they meet.

"Seven, seven young men passed the exam for scholars."

The waiter replied with a flattering smile.

Soon, the waiter brought a basin of water. Wei Guangde quickly washed up and went out and did not rush downstairs. He just looked downstairs and saw that two new scholars had received the good news. When Wei Guangde looked down, he saw that the official was in charge of the official position.

They said something, then sat aside after congratulating.

Wei Guangde didn't bring much money, only two silver nude children, and dozens of coins of copper coins. The officials downstairs only had two silver nude children. It was enough to give two silver nude children, but Wei Guangde still had to ask his cousin what to do first.

But when he looked up, the door was still closed, and there was obviously no waiter to call him. Zeng Yuanshu had already left the door, and the two of them looked at each other.

Zeng Yuanshu seemed to guess Wei Guangde’s idea and said to him with a smile: “Let’s go down and stop arguing at your brother.”

The two of them went downstairs and soon arrived in front of the official.

The waiter on the side hurriedly introduced them to them. The official found two of the good news they were still holding and handed them to them. He smiled and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Zeng, Mr. Wei."

For most scholars, it is actually not difficult to take a child test. Even if you are not lucky, you will usually pass the exam a few more times.

But the level of scholars is different. After all, the quota is limited, and it is not as casual as the prefecture and county trials.

"The good news was sent to Jiujiang Prefecture yesterday afternoon. I think the two of you will receive the news soon.

At first glance, the two young masters were young and promising. We will send good news to the two young masters in the provincial examination two months later."

The official officer next to him who was holding the good news in his hand also said to them with a smile.

"Thank you for your two good words. I'll do you want to go this trip."

Zeng Yuanshu said this with a smile, his hand had reached into his arms, took out a ingot of silver and handed it to the head official, and continued to smile and said, "This is a little bit of my brother and I. I don't respect you. Please accept it.

, buy a cup of tea to moisten your throat.”

Wei Guangde probably looked like three or four taels of silver. This was a huge sum of money, equivalent to three or four thousand coins.

Until now, the social economy and economy have been developed. As long as the average adult man in the city is willing to endure hardships, he can earn twenty cents a day for his own money. Their share of this ingot of silver is equivalent to the investment of an ordinary person for half a year.

Of course, in the yamen, the money is not so easy to get. They may have to pay a lot of money to get this ingot of silver.

The official in charge saw Zeng Yuanshu being generous and gave money directly. It was not the two poor scholars before. They just took out a large handful of copper coins, probably less than a thousand yuan. The two good news sent out first had not earned.

It was a bit unhappy when I reached two taels of silver.

Fortunately, there are still generous people in this store, so I didn’t go to this trip in vain this time.

I happily accepted the money, and the head official said to them in a low voice: "It's so that the two scholars learned that I would like to go to the Nanchang Gongyuan to record the household letters in person this afternoon, namely, hometown, and resumes of the three generations. They are all customary.

.

For the husband who won the scholar, the Gongyuan and the Taixue Yamen must record the records to prepare for the subsequent provincial examinations."

Then he looked at Zeng Yuanshu and Wei Guangde and said in a low voice: "The two young men are already scholars. When they go to the tribute school, it is more appropriate to change into the student uniform."

After bowing to thank him, Zeng Yuanshu and Wei Guangde went upstairs and talked about going out to buy clothes later.

The round neck and large sleeve shirts in the Ming Dynasty were worn by Confucian scholars, like other officials, and had detailed systems, such as "the sleeves, made of jade-colored cloth and silk, wide-sleeved soap edges, soap bars and soft scarves hanging on them.

.Anyone who is a juren will not change his conscience."

For gentry, both round neck and cross-collar clothes can be worn. Formal official robes are generally round necks, but there are exceptions, such as the well-known flying fish suits, bullfighting suits, etc., including the python robes, they are cross-collared.

, Only sitting on the python robe is the round collar.

As for ordinary people, they can only wear clothes that can be worn with collars.
