When the seven people came in, Lu Shuo was already standing on the right side of the main hall with Zhou Mao and He Qingyun. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

He was able to see who it was.

Fourth place: Zhu Yingyun.

Fifth place: Cao Maozhen.

Sixth place: Du Dingchen.

Seventh place: Gu Yinglin.

……

The first three Lu Shuo didn't know each other.

But it doesn't matter, but looking at the top seven, Lu Shuo can see something.

As Zhou Mao got the news a few days ago, this year's palace test ranking is really half from the north and the south.

Either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.

When I thought about the last imperial examination, the southern candidates were so proud, and they took seven out of ten.

And this year, although Zhou Mao, a native of Yangzhou, is still the champion, but looking at the top three, it is one in the south, one in the north, and one in the remote southwest.

As for the top 10 as a whole, it is also half from the north and the south.

It seems that both Emperor Hui Chong and the next chief and deputy examiners are worried about the situation that the south is strong and the north is weak, and they want to turn the tide through the imperial examination.

The question of the dispute between the north and the south during the examination was really not casual, and it seems that it really had ulterior motives.

After these seven people came up, Emperor Hui Chong asked a few more random questions, and the Golden Palace Transmission was over.

Three loud whips sounded outside again, and Zhou Yu'an shouted loudly in the court: "Retreat!" ”

Emperor Hui Chong's guard of honor left far away, and the new science and technology scholars and civil and military officials respectfully sent Emperor Hui Chong away, and then they went out of the hall one by one in an orderly manner.

When he arrived at the gate, Lu Shuo's heart that had been tense just now finally relaxed, he walked over and came to a place with Zhou Mao, Sun Zhe, and Yuan Wenlin, and even Du Dingchen came over.

Du Dingchen and Lu Shuo can only be regarded as nodding friends, and they have never spoken to Zhou Mao, at this time, as soon as he came, Lu Shuo and the others naturally did not want to whisper again, so they gave up their hands to greet him.

"Brother Zhou! Brother Sun! Brother Yuan, Brother Lu Xian, congratulations! ”

"Rejoice and rejoice!"

After complimenting each other, Du Dingchen went out of his way to congratulate Zhou Mao and Lu Shuo.

"Two best friends, once they won the champion and Tanhua at the same time, it can be regarded as a good story, especially you, Brother Lu Xian! Such a young Tanhua, I'm afraid it's rare in the entire Daqi! ”

Lu Shuo and Du Dingchen don't have any knots.

Speaking of which, during the government test, no matter what, Gao Zhuo was making trouble, and the Cai family added fuel to the fire, and outsiders looked at him and Du Dingchen as incompatible, but in Lu Shuo's opinion, the two really had no conflict of interest.

Lu Shuo was a little emotional, looked at Zhou Mao and Du Dingchen and said, "It's just a fluke!" The three of us have gone through ups and downs this time, and the winds and waves have come over, and now we have got what we want, and we finally live up to our original intentions! ”

As soon as Lu Shuo's words came out, Zhou Mao and Du Dingchen thought about it carefully, isn't that it?

The matter of the government examination almost made Du Dingchen unable to continue the imperial examination, and Lu Shuo was almost splashed with dirty water.

As for Zhou Mao!

Zhou Liangfu's case this time is even more thrilling.

Everyone thought that he was going to be implicated, but who knew that not only did he not, but he was desperate and was named the champion!

There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village!

That's not what they're talking about.

In this way, because of the same experience, the three of them felt a sense of pity for each other.

A few people stood around and talked for a while, and then an attendant came over and invited a few people to go out to the side hall to change their clothes.

After a while, I'm going to boast about the official on the street!

This is a grand event that the Jinshi have been looking forward to for a long time.

Even Zhou Mao, who has always been breezy and calm, has some smiles on his face at this time.

Lu Shuo was led by the chamberlain, entered the side hall, and changed into a flower exploration dress.

After getting dressed up, Lu Shuo walked out of the side hall and walked towards the waiting officials.

The officials only felt that their eyes were bright.

At this time, he changed into a crimson official robe, decorated with a white jade and silver belt, a flowing jade pendant, wearing a black gauze hat, and a silver hairpin on both sides.

Well deserved Tanhualang!

The officials who stayed behind outside couldn't help but sigh when they saw this situation.

Many people began to secretly inquire that this Lu Shuo had a marriage match, and was ready to catch a son-in-law under the list, if it could be said to be successful, it would be a really good family affair.

It's a pity that there have been many officials who have come to the door to propose marriage, and when they heard these people ask, they immediately mentioned the things before and after.

"It turns out that he has been engaged to Yuan Gong's granddaughter! Cousin and cousin, it can be regarded as a good story! ”

Hearing this, the officials who had just made the marriage to the party all sighed.

But in my heart, I thought, what a pity!

Not long after Lu Shuo came out, the rest of the new science and technology scholars also came out one after another.

This is where the royal street boasting begins!

Lu Shuo, Zhou Mao, and He Qingyun were the first to walk on the central royal road and march side by side towards the palace gate.

As for the other new scholars, they are not qualified to take the royal path, this is the grace of the saint to the first-class jinshi, but not everyone can enjoy it.

At this time, the sun was rising, and everyone was wearing official uniforms, and today they were kneeling and walking, which was very tiring.

But the new science and technology scholars are all in good spirits, and they can't see the slightest tiredness, obviously, in front of the glory of the royal street officials, those tiredness and hard work are nothing.

Soon, all the officials and the new science and technology scholars arrived at the palace gate together.

At this time, Jiang Jinghua, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Hui, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, were already waiting at the palace gate.

According to convention, the one who should appear at the palace gate today should be the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, not Zhang Hui, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

It's a pity that Zhou Liangfu provoked such a thing, how could he be released.

But Zhang Hui's appearance brought some trouble to Zhou Mao, and after the surrounding Xinke Jinshi and officials saw Zhang Hui, they suddenly remembered Zhou Liangfu, and their eyes at Zhou Mao suddenly became different.

Zhou Mao was also calm.

These days have tasted the warmth and coldness of people, and he has long looked down on it.

A group of new science and technology scholars bowed their hands in unison, saluted Jiang Jinghua and Zhang Hui, and shouted "Otsuka Zai" and "Dazong Bo" in their mouths.

The two of them accepted the salute peacefully, and then turned around and gave an order, and according to the custom, a soldier immediately led the horse over and walked to the new branch and stood down.

The first three people take the lead and take the lead.

When the rest of the candidates were still worried about how to get on the horse and how to ride the horse, Lu Shuo had already jumped up, and his handsome posture attracted many eyes to look at him.

The spring breeze is proud, and once you can see all the Chang'an flowers!

The heroic words of our ancestors are still in our ears today.

Lu Shuo looked at the cleared road in front of him and the people crowded on both sides, and the same feeling rose in his heart.
