Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Champion

This day is the day when the triennial Spring Palace Examination of the Imperial Court begins. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Early in the morning, the people of the capital flocked to the foot of the imperial city, waiting to see who would be the new champion on the imperial list.

"Miss," Qian Xi shook back and forth a few times in front of Wang Xiqing early in the morning, and finally couldn't help it at this time, "Let's go and see the excitement, okay." "I don't know what the champion of Imako looks like.

"Okay," Wang Ji thought about it lightly, these two maids who had really worked hard during this time, and it was good to relax today.

The three masters and servants came to the main hall of the medical hall, said hello to Shopkeeper Liu and Zhang Qingshan, and did not even bring any guards, so they followed the crowd and went to the imperial city.

"You say, who will be the champion of Jinke, I bought Yang Zhi and five hundred taels of silver from Jiangnan." Next to the three masters and servants, several men were discussing the palace test in a low voice.

"Brother Tai, you are optimistic about Yang Zhihe in Jiangnan, although I was also optimistic about him before, but after all, he came from the south, I'm afraid it's ......" Another middle-aged man lowered his voice and joined in. In the past 100 years, no southerner has been named the champion.

"When Yang Zhihe released the list, he was the first Xie Yuan, who would buy him if he didn't buy it." The man from before was a little unconvinced, "The imperial court can't just because he is from the south, so there is a difference, right?" ”

"You can be quiet," a person next to him grabbed him, "In my opinion, Fan Lin from Qinghe may win the crown this time." ”

"That's it, who doesn't know, now that the relationship between Qinghe and Jingli is just right, I bought Fan Lin two hundred taels of silver."

………

It turns out that the most popular students in this branch are Yang Zhihe and Fan Lin. Wang Ji nodded lightly, she didn't know about this Fan Lin, but she had seen this Yang Zhi and her.

Yang Zhihe is the youngest son of the Yang family in the south of the Yangtze River, this person has the name of a prodigy since he was a child, at the age of eight because of the export of the chapter, worshiped in the mountain chief of the Egret Academy, and now the famous Confucian ---- Mr. Chunshan, is the fourth uncle and ancestor of the lineage for the current branch of the Chun Shan to train talents.

At the original owner's concurrence ceremony, Mrs. Yang also took him to participate in the girl's contemplation ceremony. It's just that there were a lot of people at that time, and the girl only secretly glanced at this famous talent in Jiangnan a few times, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

Wang Jiqing was still in a trance, and saw that the palace door had been opened widely, and several little eunuchs and officials from the Ministry of Rites slowly walked out together holding a big red box. The accompanying Imperial Forest Army stopped the people who went up to see the excitement, and several officials of the Ministry of Rites saluted in the direction of the imperial city, and then opened the box and took out the good news in red.

After a while, the good news was posted. As the Imperial Forest Army dispersed, a group of people rushed to the emperor's list, vying to watch.

Thirteen Niang was afraid that the crowd would hurt Miss, so she held Miss with one hand, grabbed Lady with the other, and slowly retreated into the distance.

"It's Yang Zhihe, and the champion of today's department is really Yang Zhihe and Yang Gongzi!" I don't know who shouted in the front crowd, which detonated the enthusiasm of the onlookers.

"Is it really Yang Zhi and Yang Gongzi who won the champion?" , several people were overjoyed "haha...... This is the person who bought Yang Zhi and Zhongzhuangyuan in the underground bank.

"Oops, my two hundred taels are gone." I don't know how many people cried bitterly, and it seems that many people have bought other people's high schools.

"My aunt has been hit by Tanhua," a sharp female voice suddenly rushed out, causing the people around to turn their heads to look, only to see an eleven or twelve-year-old girl dressed as a maid, pointing to the emperor and looking at it excitedly.

"Ah, your aunt is Fan Lin, Fan Gongzi." A few people standing in front looked at the emperor list and hurriedly congratulated, "Congratulations to your young lady, you have found a wishful husband." ”

"Congratulations, congratulations." The people next to him were all smiling when they saw this, "I don't know where the little girl's house is?" ”

"We are the Meng family of the Ministry of Rites," the little maid said excitedly with a red face while giving a gift to the surrounding uncles and aunts.

"It turned out to be Meng Shoufu's family." Today's Ministry of Rites is the second son of today's Meng Shoufu. It's no wonder, isn't this Lord Meng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, the first seat of the Jinke?

"Congratulations," someone who was interested in the heart of the heart, and figured out the key, "I really want to congratulate your uncle Fan Gongzi, this big Dengke and small Dengke are double happiness." ”

"This cave room spends candle nights, and when the gold list is inscribed, Fan Gongzi is really blessed. When your young lady gets married, don't forget to invite the villagers to have a glass of wine. "There are good deeds on the side.

Wang Jiqing listened to everyone's lively discussion on the side, and sighed secretly in her heart. It seems that the contradictions between the imperial court and the major clans in the south of the Yangtze River have reached the point of irreconcilability. Otherwise, how could the imperial court give this champion to Yang Zhihe, who was born in a southern clan?

As we all know, Yang Fan and the two are of the same age, they are both young talents who are full of wealth, and their fame and status among the students are also equal. But the imperial court has deliberately suppressed the southerners over the years, and the champion has been obtained by the northerners for many years. Although it was given to Yang Zhihe this time, I am afraid that it is also an abacus to temporarily appease the south.

Although this section champion named Yang Zhihe, who was born in the south, the Meng family, who was born in the royalist lineage, recruited Tanhualang, who was born in the north, as his son-in-law, which has to make people think deeply.

The three masters and servants saw that everyone was talking about the excitement, and they were far from dispersing, so they planned to leave early.

However, at this moment, the palace door that had just been closed slowly opened again. In the puzzled eyes of everyone, several Royal Forest soldiers quickly pushed open the palace gate.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way!" Several little eunuchs, accompanied by the Imperial Forest Army, rode out on horseback with anxious expressions on their faces.

What's going on? In previous years, there was no such stubble after the palace examination, and now the adults in the palace should not hold a Qionglin banquet, how can there be an inner servant who leaves the palace at this time?

Everyone outside the imperial city looked at each other, could it be that something was wrong with the Qionglin banquet in Jinke? The person seemed to have thought of something, so he quietly pulled up his relatives and friends and retreated far away.

"Miss, what's the matter?" Looking at the people who were talking in a low voice, she was a little uneasy.

Wang Ji was a little uncertain under her care, and her intuition as a woman always made her feel that this matter was related to Li Yuanche. She glanced up at Thirteen Niang, and saw that the other party looked calm, not like she knew something, so she pressed her mind.

"It's okay, maybe I'm going to invite some big man to the Qionglin banquet." She patted the maid's hand gently, "It's none of our business, let's go back first." ”

The three of them walked slowly back to Suzaku Street, and before they could return to the door of the family medical hall, they saw a carriage from their own medical hall hurriedly following the horses of several little eunuchs, galloping away in the direction of the palace.

What's going on? Wang Ji frowned slightly, pushed aside the crowd, and walked quickly in the direction of the medical hall.
