Chapter Ninety-Eight: Ten Years (Two Chapters in One)
Time passed, and Yan Ran smiled. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the blink of an eye, in the center of the capital, Jinghua Street is as bustling as ever.
The literati and students who came and went seemed to gather together today, and the excitement and eagerness between the words added a bit of excitement to people's hearts.
Each carriage also found an open place and stopped, and the name plates of various famous nobles were hung on the carriages, and they all gathered here on this day.
A spacious carriage with no decoration, but made of fine rosewood throughout, slowly drove in from one end of Jinghua Street, and finally found a shady place to stop.
On the edge of the car, a famous brand made of red ash wood swayed left and right in the sun, and a pottery word was written in the light and dark.
A gentle voice like water, with a hint of imperceptible anxiety, said weakly like water: "It's time to release the list today, Xianggong went to the Yang Mansion early in the morning, and he didn't care at all." β
"Hehe, little aunt, my little uncle is sure to get a good ranking this time, so I went to my grandfather's mansion to wait for the news, after all, he is also my grandfather's protΓ©gΓ©."
The delicate female voice has a natural clean voice, and her natural soft voice is crisp and tactful, even if she speaks as well as singing, she seems to have inadvertently said it into people's hearts.
"Yes, I'm in a hurry......"
The gentle voice calmed down, as dignified as ever.
As he was talking, he heard the gate of the Tribute Academy slowly open in a "creaking" sound, and a team of soldiers of the Tribute Academy wearing red clothes and black belts, with the chief examiner of this session, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince slowly walked out.
Prince Boya Amaranth was dressed in a dark gold hidden embroidered five-clawed golden dragon black-bottomed wide-sleeved robe, which looked very heavy in the sultry June, but Boya Amaranth walked very steadily, and the atmosphere was extraordinary between the lines and steps.
The fine tribute rice paper covered with gold leaf was slowly pasted on the imperial list of the tribute courtyard in the expectation of everyone.
The first time it was posted was the top three Tongjinshi, and the crowd suddenly became noisy, and countless people stared at the Huangbang with hope, word by word.
Suddenly, a young man wearing a white cotton robe with a few patches on it and a scarf of the same color jumped up and shouted hysterically: "I'm hit, I'm hit!" The top three are the same jinshi, my mother kissed me! Woowoo woo ......"
After speaking, he squatted down with his head down, hid his face and cried, everyone knows the sadness of the poor student, and no one makes fun of him, but looks at the young man with envy.
Then someone shouted loudly one after another, and the people next to him didn't have time to congratulate, so they hurriedly looked for their names.
Soon, the second-class Jinshi Emperor List was also hung high above the top of the third-class Jinshi.
One by one, the children of the poor, or the children of the powerful, shouted that I had been hit, and the top two and the first list were all occupied, and the joy, sighs, cries, and laughter were intertwined, composing a picture of life.
Some people laughed, and naturally some people were sad, only to hear an old man's "ouch", and then he cried sadly: "Fifty years of camping, losing the field, losing the family, why is it not hit, God, why is it not hit......"
The old man covered his chest and fell to the ground, making a "ho-ho" sound in his throat, as if his throat was blocked by something, his face full of wrinkles rose red, his eyes rolled white, and he was about to turn his back on it.
The people around him are all literati students who only know how to read, all of them are people who do not touch the spring water with their fingers and only read the books of sages and sages, at this time they only know that they shouted in panic, "Doctor, someone has fainted", and then they gathered around and watched, but they were helpless and helpless.
There are also people who have fallen off the list, and their hearts are filled with a sense of cold lips and teeth, and they only feel that they may one day be like the old man who has been taking the exam for 50 years, and the Jiji camp finally ended up with a sudden death, and the scene was quiet for a while, and even the high school students unconsciously restrained their smiles, and no longer shouted the word "hit", for fear that someone would fall to the ground because of the failure in the next moment.
A refreshing fragrance came, like the peach blossoms blooming in early spring, suddenly blooming beside them, the fragrant fragrance, sweet but elegant, everyone only felt that their hearts were open, and suddenly their hearts were clear, and they couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, and they listened to the fragrance of peach blossoms, a delicate female voice said loudly: "Everyone let go, this is phlegm lost in the heart, you are so tightly surrounded, I am afraid that the old man will not be good." β
When everyone heard this, they subconsciously stepped back, and the old man in the middle appeared in the middle of everyone's figures.
I saw a wearing lotus lotus-colored bandeau wide-sleeved gauze skirt, with a bandeau spliced with moon-white Tianjin tribute silk, embroidered with silver thread with a budding magnolia flower, the same color moon-white pleated skirt as the base, when walking, there were layers of waves, tender coupling color transparent gauze woven wide sleeves, looming her mutton fat white arms, holding a light green silk ribbon, beautiful, just like the flower fairy who just came out in spring, the fragrance is pleasant and beautiful.
The girl ran in small steps, the breeze brought up her hair, the gauze skirt fluttered like a fairy, the fragrance of peach blossoms became more obvious in the running, and her face was solemn, her lips were gently pursed and moderately thick, and two small dimples were exposed.
Everyone was stunned for a while, intoxicated by the woman's sweet dimples, and sighed in their hearts, the fairy is nothing more than this.
There are even more cute scholars, who were stunned for a while, and muttered poetry in their mouths: "Dai Mei is delicate and far away, and the green temples are thick with spring smoke!" β
After chanting the poem, I saw him slap his forehead violently, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "In the past, I only knew how to die and read, but I didn't know that the red face was the most sultry!" β
"Turning around and moving, it's just like a willow shaking flower and smiling at Chuyan!"
Someone was not to be outdone, a pair of eyes were tightly glued to the girl's body, the original small eyes were incomparably big at this moment, and read aloud, in a vain attempt to attract the girl's attention.
"The beauty is full of flowers, and it has left a lingering fragrance for three years."
This is the refreshing fragrance of peach blossoms, seeing that it is a noble child dressed in silk, after chanting the poem, he took a deep breath, and his outstretched right hand seemed to grasp the lingering fragrance left in the air.
The appearance of the girl disrupted the hearts of many teenagers, but the joys and sorrows were left behind for a while, and there was only a girl's smart smile and beautiful face in her eyes.
After a while, I saw the girl squatting beside the old man, looked at it intently, and said loudly: "Hurry up and ask a doctor in the Chunhetang in front of you, you have to give first aid now, who will help you and take a hand?" β
The girl's command soon made some of the half-sized children next to him restless, and the beautiful people always made people love, and they did good deeds, so they volunteered one by one and shouted: "I'll go and ask for a doctor." β
"I'm here to help, I'm strong!"
"Don't squeeze me, what's the use of having a lot of strength, it's not doing hard work, I used to see Dr. Wang next door cook medicinal soup, I'll help."
"What kind of medicine to cook now, girl, I'll help you, I have experience in phlegm obsession."
"Ah, who stepped on my foot, what squeezed, I'm a doctor, I'm here to see a doctor!"
Suddenly, the scene became noisy again, and I saw several soldiers passing through the crowd, and finally gathered beside the girl, separating the students who surrounded the girl, the space became larger, and the fresh air began to flow.
It turned out that the prince saw the commotion here and brought soldiers over to help.
The girl concentrated on the old man's people, ignoring the commotion of the scholars, she kept patting the old man's abdomen, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the old man start coughing from a coma, and then said loudly: "Brother Labor, turn him around." β
Several soldiers didn't know what to do, but under the nod of the prince's instruction, they cooperated with the girl to turn the old man over, and then saw the girl, with five fingers together, and the palm of her hand bent to make an empty palm, and knocked the old man's back from bottom to top, from both sides to the middle spine, which was surprisingly consistent with the old man's coughing action.
Soon, after listening to the old man's violent cough, followed by the sound of "gurgling", a large mouthful of yellow-green thick phlegm spit out of his mouth, breathing freely, the old man finally slowly opened his eyes, but because of the lack of oxygen for a long time, he was a little stunned lying on the lap of a soldier.
"Great, it's okay to spit out the phlegm, don't think about it, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, maybe it is God's test for you, or maybe God is telling you in a different way that your life should have a different path, this road is not passable, it is not impossible to take a detour, as long as the person is still there, then everything will be fine."
The girl's crisp voice was gentle and tactful, like the warm spring sun in the old man's heart, he only felt that his future did not seem to be so gloomy, as the girl said, everything would be fine, wouldn't it?
"Is the doctor here? Where? β
Seeing the old man's eyes become smart, and slowly have a glow, the girl couldn't help but smile slightly, the sweet fragrance rippled in her dimples, and the eyes of the young man straightened.
I saw an old man carrying a medicine box on his back, limping away from the crowd and walking over, and said with a wry smile: "I'm here, which bastard boy stepped on the old man more than a dozen feet!" β
"Girl, you're so powerful! The most important thing for phlegm is to draw out phlegm, the old man used to only know how to use his hands, wooden chopsticks or spoons and other things to pull out phlegm, but he didn't expect that the percussion on the abdomen and back was also effective, and he was taught. β
The old man put down the medicine box, sighed after careful examination, and then helped the fainted old man to walk towards Chunhetang.
"Girl, good means!"
"The girl saves someone's life better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, you are really kind."
"Today, I know how capable the face is!"
For a while, a few students with budding hearts approached to let the girl see them, and they all wanted to speak louder than others.
"Put a first-class emperor list!"
The prince frowned slightly, and the soldiers willingly surrounded the girl to protect her, and as soon as the prince's words fell, sure enough, many scholars diverted their attention and looked towards the emperor's list.
The imperial examination is divided into three grades, one rank and three places, and the Jinshi and the first, which are the champions, the top eyes, and the tanhua, which are collectively known as the three tripods.
There are thirty-two people from the second class and sixty-eight people.
The second and third grades have been distributed one after another, and only the most important ones and three have not yet been released.
Therefore, those who did not win the list couldn't help but stick their eyes to the list, only hoping that one of those three names would be their own.
Although the last imperial list only has the names of three people, it has not shrunk the paper, and it is still the same size as the paper below, but it is the name of the three people written by the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, and the neat and free book is quite the posture of today's martial emperor, but it was written by the prince himself!
I saw someone read aloud: "Tanhua, Gong Baiyu, Bangyan, Ao Shuqin, Champion, Tao Don't Forget!" β
So far, the three lists have been released, and one by one the soldiers in bright red annunciation dresses have scattered in all directions, beating gongs and drums and running towards all parts of Beijing, and one by one names shouted out from their mouths: "Hit, hit, Jiangnan students of the Kaihe Inn, Liu Rutao is the first in the second class!" β
"Congratulations, congratulations, the student of Huzhou Mansion of the Champion Inn, Chen Feng is a second-class jinshi!"
"Students of Pengju College in Beijing, Tao Don't forget the champion of high school, An Lehou is overjoyed!"
I saw the soldiers shouting loudly, and on the pineapple wooden carriage, a woman cried with joy, lifted the curtain, changed the whisper of the past, and shouted loudly: "It's the champion!" It's the champion! Jiaoge, your little uncle has been hit! β
When the girl who followed the prince heard this, she turned around, and the corners of her skirt on her feet bloomed like flowers, drawing a beautiful arc, she smiled and responded loudly: "Little aunt, you are the best in the world!" β
Everyone suddenly, with the fragrance of peach blossoms, the name of the boudoir is also called Jiaoge, the entire Shangjing City, it is not the famous lady of Anle Hou Mansion, the first beauty in Beijing, Tao Jiaoge! And the identity of the woman in the carriage is not difficult to guess, the wife of the current champion of the new department, Shi Rou, the county lord!
Shi Roujun nodded with tears in his eyes, touching his tall belly with one hand, but smiling like a spring flower.
"Ouch, rain, I, my stomach hurts......"
Lord Shirou was smiling happily, and suddenly exhaled in pain when he touched his stomach, and his lower body was moist and hot, and the viscous liquid slowly flowed down her legs to the wheel.
A burst of pain came from his lower abdomen, and the county lord of Shirou couldn't help but sit down slowly with the car door, and sighed with a wry smile: "I seem to be about to give birth......"
Luoyu, who is nearly twenty-four years old, has never been married and stayed by Tao Jiaoge's side, she is a veritable old girl, where has she ever experienced that a woman wants to have a child, and she is also in a hurry for a while, she doesn't know what she should do, so she can only shout loudly: "Miss, come back quickly, Miss, it's going to be born!" β
Tao Jiaoge didn't have time to say goodbye to the prince, so she hurriedly ran towards the carriage, and commanded loudly: "Your young lady, I haven't married yet, what will I have!" Go back to the house immediately, when it rains, you go back with light work first, ask someone to boil water, let Wen Po prepare, according to what I said before, burn it with mugwort and smoke the delivery room! β
After methodically giving the order, Tao Jiaoge picked up the county lord of Shirou and entered the carriage, and said with a wave of his little hand: "Falling leaves, drive steadily, let's go back to the house to have a baby!" β
