Chapter 121: The Final Feast

There is a beginning and an end, and after this sacrifice, the gentleman's trial is really over.

There seem to be a lot fewer people in Huangsha Road overnight, and the candidates who did not win left gloomily, but the candidates who won the test have not left.

Most of the inns are not as lively as before, but here in Chang'an Mansion, there is still no tension of the exam, and it is more noisy than before.

"How many people envy us? Zhang Shuangtong said in the hall.

The crowd was having breakfast, even though it was nearly noon.

The shopkeeper shuttled between them with a plate and complimented: "That's it, all of you are masters." ”

Zhang Shuangtong said: "How can the old man be as powerful as the old man Xie Yuan." Stretching out his hand and pointing to the inside, "Misaburo is here." ”

Inside, Xue Qing and Pei Yanzi were talking, followed by Guo Zi'an and Liu Chunyang muttering something to say, and when they heard him greet him, the four of them all came over.

"Xie Yuangong, please take a seat, everyone else is behind. Zhang Shuangtong said.

Everyone in the hall was not displeased, and Xue Qing was not restrained and humble, and he really took a seat with a smile.

Zhang Shuangtong looked at the guy in the store and said: "What I said others envy us, in addition to the grades, we are all free, you think about it, if there is no take, we can still laugh like this? ”

The candidates from the first house come together to go together, then this meeting will be embarrassing now, the middle is high-spirited, the missed is sad, and both sides have to take care of each other......

The shopkeeper smiled again and congratulated: "The old man is so happy to stay with us for a few more days to play." ”

Pang An said: "Although it is good to go home, I am eager to return home." ”

When it comes to the word home, the expressions of everyone present, whether they are teenagers or old, are a little expectant.

The scribe stepped in at this time, and when he saw the beings with their cloaks and clothes casually, they immediately frowned: "What kind of system." ”

Zhu Sheng hurriedly smiled and got up.

The scribe did not reprimand them for their bohemianism anymore, and said: "Tonight is the Luming Banquet, Mr. asked me to tell everyone not to be late, except for Xiliang, we are the only state capital that has all the staff to take it...."

Although the 200 people selected are called lifters, but because of the restrictions on the results of the examination, it is not certain whether this lifter counts, so it was not planned to do a big deal, but the incident of the queen's mausoleum happened, because these students appeared to the queen and completely lifted the evil spirit of Huangsha Road, and the court must treat it with a high standard.

According to the grapevine, it is very likely that the imperial court will finally recognize the status of the 200 candidates in the Junzi Examination, and they do not necessarily have to pass the examination.

Regardless of this for the time being, what is certain in front of us is that the Luming Banquet is going to be a big event.

"After the end of the township test, the deer feast, people will ride hairpins on white horses and wear red colors, and go to the feast in the streets surrounded by drummers. ”

In another inn with many people and full seats, Suo Shengxuan said to the handmaidens who were hugging the left and right, and his handsome face was bright.

"Then, the examiners will all participate, and when the time comes, they will worship the teacher and give gifts..."

"Have we prepared our gifts? What the Luming Banquet Worshipper should prepare is different from the bundle, it is gold, silver, silk, and so on. ”

Suo Shengxuan said that the head is the Tao, which shows how well he knows and knows the imperial examination, and how much he yearns for it.

The white-robed young men present did not be as elated as before, but hesitated and said, "The gift is not prepared.....

Before the words fell, someone stood outside the door and said, "Are you ready to salute?"

Salute... Suo Shengxuan looked over and saw the same white-robed young man standing at the door, his slender figure blocking the daylight..... He suddenly thought of something, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Qi Niang... We'll go... After watching the deer feast. He said with a bit of flattery.

Before the original shooting imperial exam, Qin Mei had said that if they couldn't compare to Xue Qing, they would let them go back to Xiliang, but now that the results have come out, they really haven't compared to Xue Qing, the so-called gentleman, they should pack up and go back to Xiliang.

Qin Mei glanced at him and said, "My salute is ready, I'll go first, you can do it yourself, whether it's going to Beijing with those officials, or going into Beijing alone." ”

"Okay, okay. Suo Shengxuan nodded again and again, and only came back to his senses halfway through, and got up in surprise, "Ah, Qi Niang, do you mean that we don't need to go back to Xiliang?"

Qin Mei said: "It's okay to go back if you want to, whatever." ”

Suo Shengxuan had already grabbed his arm and said with a smile: "I don't want to go back, I don't want to go back, listen to you." ”

Qin Mei glanced at him, threw off her arm and was about to turn around, but Suo Shengxuan grabbed him again: "But, Qi Niang, what are you talking about? Do you want to go first? You don't participate in ?....the Luming Banquet" Seeing Qin Mei's beautiful eyes provoked, she hurriedly changed her words again, "That's not important, I mean you're not with us?"

Qin Mei snorted.

The other teenagers also stood up and expressed their surprise.

Suo Shengxuan said: "Qi Niang, you are alone, you still don't want it... In case of hardship..."

Qin Mei squinted at him, the corners of her mouth hooked into a smile, and said, "Endure hardships? Am I a person who has never suffered before?

His voice was crisp, and he couldn't hear joy or anger, but when this sentence came out, the teenagers present lowered their heads in fear and held their breath to silence.

Suo Shengxuan's face was timid, and he shouted Qi Niang: "I don't want to be before..."

Qin Mei turned around and said, "I'm leaving." The negative hand went out.

turned out to be leaving, Suo Shengxuan and others hurriedly came out, they didn't dare to persuade if they wanted to persuade them, and it seemed that there was no advice if they wanted to advise.

"Where's the money? You take more. Suo Shengxuan said, watching Qin Mei grab the reins of the horse, there was only a black cloth bag on the horse's back, and there was nothing else, and the inside of this cloth bag did not look like clothes, but a small jar.

Qin Mei took off the cloth bag, put it on her back, turned over and got on the horse, and said no.

Suo Shengxuan still didn't feel at ease and pulled the reins, and said: "Qi Niang, you are not familiar with the road, you are small on the road...."

Qin Mei squinted at him condescendingly on her horse.

Suo Shengxuan swallowed his heart back, blinked and said, ".... I'll miss you. ”

Qin Mei snorted and pulled the reins over, about to leave and stopped, and said: "You guys go by yourself, there are many candidates going to the capital, remember ......" He didn't look at Suo Shengxuan, but looked at the front courtyard door, "Don't be a good person, never be a good person." ”

After urging the horse, the big black horse moved forward without saying a word.

Suo Shengxuan hurriedly followed a few steps: "Where are you looking for you in the capital?"

The white-robed black horse had already jumped out of the door and threw back a sentence: "I will look for you." ”

Suo Shengxuan and the others rushed to the door of the inn, and saw that the people on the street were about to disappear from sight.

......

......

The streets were full of drums, and people came out one after another, looking at the candidates who were invited to the horses in front of the inns.

"It's just like that. ”

"Let's just say that our Huangsha Road is not ordinary... It is also the land of the Son of Heaven. ”

"It's a pity, the coffins of the Queen Mother and Emperor Baozhang are going to be transported. ”

"yes, what are we going to do here?"

There is a lot of chatter on the street, and there have been so many things happening on Wong Sha Road recently that everyone can't talk about it..... Xue Qing and the other twenty people had already put on silk ribbons and stepped on the white horse, and joined the other candidates on the street, and walked towards the official office under the crowd.

Suddenly, Xue Qing looked back, but did not see the line of sight, only saw a figure in the crowd galloping with his back to him, a white robe and a black horse, with a black burden on his back, embellished on the white robe, as if splashing ink.....

What a strange person.

Although he only referred to three subjects, because the total score was almost at the top of the list, Qin Mei was beyond reproach, so he didn't want to participate in the Luming Banquet, or okay, there was no need to say goodbye.

Xue Qing retracted his gaze and looked ahead, smiling at the gazes and congratulations from all sides.
