Chapter 33 Wang Hengbi, the top student in high school
It stands to reason that Yue Luo is just a geisha and a Qingqi person, and Dabi's sacred thing shouldn't have anything to do with her. But because of Dabi, she has to be busy from now on.
Because King Yunluo let people pass the word - after Dabi, Emperor Dade invited the scholars and officials to a banquet, and he might invite Yue Luo to sing and dance.
Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there has been a culture of enjoying with the people, and the place of the banquet is in Qiongyuan and not in the palace, so even if a geisha is invited to sing and dance, it will not attract too much criticism.
What's more, the poetry is romantic, the talented and the beautiful are all put together since ancient times.
The singing and dancing of this banquet was extraordinary, and the time was not too much, so Yue Luo needed to prepare carefully. And Yue Luo had a hunch that something might happen at this banquet.
On the morning of the first day of Dabi, before dawn, the Luohua Pavilion was brightly lit. Yue Luo stood in front of the gate of Luohua Pavilion to see off Wang Heng, while Xiao Qian stood next to Wang Heng with a bamboo basket. Wang Heng didn't have a scholar, so Yue Luo sent Xiaoqian to be his maid for a few days.
"Brother Wang, I wish you the title of the gold list here." Yue Luo, who is dressed in women's clothes, learns from a man to give his hand, and his beautiful appearance looks unique.
Wang Heng was wearing a hardcover scholar's suit, his hair was meticulously combed, and the whole person looked radiant. In Yue Luo's eyes, the black qi behind his head was three times larger than when he first saw him in the capital, and it was obvious that Wang Heng's cultivation was not small during this time. Because of the cultivation of the exercises of the Nine Shadows Palace, Wang Heng's temperament has also undergone some changes, unlike the cowardly and timid appearance he used to be.
"Brother Chengyue's auspicious words." Wang Heng smiled, and there was a sense of confidence between his eyebrows. There is also a kind of mystery.
Yue Luo turned to Xiao Qian and said, "Xiao Qian, serve Wang Gongzi well, you will be very glorious after he is in high school." ”
"Know, miss." Xiao Qian smiled sweetly.
Xiao Qian basically had nothing else to do in Luohua Pavilion except to serve Yue Luo, and now that she can send Wang Heng to the examination room, she only feels very fresh.
After Xiao Qian answered, she and Wang Heng boarded the carriage and prepared to go to the examination room. As soon as he turned around, there was a shout from behind.
"Wang Heng!" A voice came from the Falling Flower Pavilion, and a woman dressed in a white robe trotted over.
Seeing this person, a smile appeared on the corner of Yue Luo's mouth. I thought to myself: she still can't hold back.
The person who came was the dancing girl Fangcao of the Falling Flower Pavilion. That is, Liu Feifei.
Wang Heng immediately turned around when he heard the shout, and said in surprise: "Fangcao!" Didn't you say you wouldn't come to see me off? ”
Wang Heng was obviously very excited, and it was estimated that when Liu Feifei ran in front of him, he couldn't help but hug him. It's a pity that Liu Feifei stopped inside the gate.
A few steps away. Liu Feifei looked at Wang Heng fixedly. After a short silence, he said, "Don't be nervous in the exam room, believe in yourself." You'll be in high school. ”
"Hmm." Wang Heng answered, looked at Liu Feifei directly, motionless.
Liu Feifei didn't seem to know what to say, so she was silent for a while, and said, "Go quickly, otherwise you will be late." ”
"Hmm." Wang Heng answered, but still didn't move.
"Let's go?" Liu Feifei raised her eyebrows and glared.
"Oh." Seeing that Liu Feifei seemed to be angry, Wang Heng came back to his senses and hurriedly boarded the carriage in response.
After Xiao Qian also boarded the carriage, the carriage headed in the direction of the examination room. On the day of Dabi, many wealthy children in the inner city rushed to take the exam, and if they didn't walk a little, they might be able to encounter a rare traffic jam. In addition, it takes a while to queue up for inspection outside the examination room, so candidates set off more than an hour in advance.
It wasn't until the carriage was out of sight that Yue Luo turned around and saw that Liu Feifei was still standing by the door and watching, so he couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "When he comes back from high school, he will redeem himself for you and marry you, and you will be Mrs. Zhuangyuan." ”
Originally, Liu Feifei was quite nervous when she saw Yue Luo looking at herself and laughing, thinking that she saw that there was a problem with her identity, but now when she heard Yue Luo's words, she immediately put her mind at ease. She lowered her head implicitly and said, "Miss said that I am not worthy of the prince." ”
Yue Luo smiled again, but didn't speak.
For two days, candidates stayed in the examination room and could not come out. In the past two days, Yue Luo played the piano and composed songs, choreographed dances, and rehearsed with dancers and musicians. Ji Wen knew that Yue Luo had little free time now and no longer bothered her, but he still lived in the Luohua Pavilion and watched Yue Luo rehearse with the dancers and musicians every day.
The time soon came to the afternoon of the second day of Dabi.
In a compartment in the examination room and examination room, Wang Heng put down the brush and let out a sigh, the whole person did not look tired at all, as if it was not him who had been in this small cubicle for two days of exams. looked at the sun, and then looked at the small hourglass next to him, and found that there was still an hour before the specified time for handing in the papers, Wang Heng couldn't help but lean on the back of the chair and squinted his eyes.
Wang Heng felt that his thoughts in this exam were extremely fluent, and it was very smooth, which was smoother than the time he raised people in the exam. He felt a little strange that during his time in the Falling Flower Pavilion, he hadn't actually spent much time studying the scriptures.
Did you become smarter, or did the questions come too easy?
However, although he is very smooth, it does not mean that he can go to high school, after all, how the article is all depends on the examiner's evaluation.
After thinking about it for a while, Wang Heng slept for a while, and finally it was time for him to hand in the papers and appear.
Under the maintenance of the invigilator, after the orderly appearance, Wang Heng was stopped when he saw Xiao Qian beckoning.
"Brother Wang, don't come unharmed?"
Hearing some familiar voices, Wang Heng turned around, but happened to see Hu Lun. That drunken break into the Flower Pavilion, Wang Heng had already understood it clearly from Yue Luo, before and after contact, he knew that Hu Lun was tricking himself, and he never thought that Hu Lun would dare to appear in front of him with a cheeky face.
With Wang Zuo's character, he naturally didn't want to associate with this kind of villain anymore, so he snorted coldly and left.
"Hey, Brother Wang, if you didn't do well in the exam, don't be angry with me, right?" Hu Lun shouted.
Wang Heng felt that this person's skin was thicker than the city wall, and he couldn't help but turn around and ask, "How do you know that I didn't do well in the exam?" ”
Hu Lun didn't answer him, but said to the three people beside him: "Look, this is the royal brother of the falling flower fairy on the side." Although he is an average person. But the means of pleasing the beauty are first-class, my generation of scholars, literary style and style need to be both, and we also need to learn from him. ”
The few scholars next to him were not scholars with the surname Qiao and the surname Shan that day, but another group of people. Thinking about it, I don't know the ugly thing about Hu Lun tricking Wang Heng to go to Luohua Pavilion, and I heard Hu Lun say a lot of bad things about Wang Heng on weekdays, and at this time, they all looked at Wang Heng with strange eyes, and there was jealousy and disdain in their eyes.
Eat one's heart out. Naturally, he was jealous that Wang Heng could soak in the falling flower fairy. This kind of beauty is now unparalleled in the capital; disdain, naturally he looks down on Wang Heng's behavior of "being a good person". In other words, if you can't eat grapes, you can say that grapes are sour.
Wang Heng is not a person who is good at words, even if his temperament has changed now. He was so angry that he pointed at Hu Lun and shouted, "Hu Lun." You slander me so much. It's not even as good as a villain! Hum! ”
After speaking. turned around and walked over to Xiaoqian and the carriage without looking back.
Hu Lun pointed to Wang Heng's back and said to the people around him: "Look, he got into the carriage of Luohua Pavilion again." Will this kind of person who is addicted to beauty pass the exam? Impossible."
The time for Dabi to revise the paper is three days, and the first two days are selected by the chief examiner and a group of examiners who are responsible for correcting the paper. On the third day. The list of Jinshi and the examination papers were sent to Emperor Dade, and Emperor Dade personally pointed out the top three from the top ten, that is, the champion, the list eye, and the flower.
On the fourth day after Dabi, the list was released.
"Boom"
"Hit! Medium! Wang Heng Wang Gongzi won the first place in the high school gold department, and the champion appointed by the emperor! ”
Because the list was released from the last place to the first place, it was not until noon that the sound of gongs and good news came from afar to the side of Luohua Pavilion. The messenger of the good news was also surprised, and he never thought that the champion of Jinke would actually live in the fireworks willow alley of Luohua Pavilion.
When the messenger of the annunciation ran to the Luohua Pavilion, Yue Luozheng was drinking tea and chatting with Wang Heng and Ji Wen. This is specially waiting for the news of the release of the charts, otherwise Yue Luo will rehearse with the dancers and musicians.
When he heard the news, even Yue Luo also had a look of surprise in his eyes. Originally, after waiting all morning, she thought that Wang Heng was out of play. Ji Wen and Wang Heng themselves also thought so, and they were laughing about this when they were drinking tea just now, but they didn't think about it, and in a blink of an eye, they heard people shouting "Wang Hengzhong is the champion".
"Congratulations, Brother Wang!" After sending away the messenger to report the good news, Yue Luo smiled and said.
"Brother Wang's top talent, he actually doubts that he will fail the exam? It's too modest! Ji Wen also got up and smiled.
Wang Heng didn't know that Ji Wen was the crown prince of the dynasty, but he was a member of the royal family, and Ji Wen's poetry and articles were also good, so they talked very happily these days. At this time, Wang Heng really didn't know what Lu Dao said, because he really didn't expect to be the top student in high school.
Seeing this, Yue Luo reminded: "Brother Wang, don't be stunned, hurry back to the room to prepare, as the champion, you are very busy in the afternoon." ”
The custom of the Great Zhou Dynasty is to release the list in the morning, and in the afternoon, the champion, the list eye, and the tanhua will ride a high-headed horse, wear an official robe, and parade the street with a big red flower. When the gongs and drums opened, the people watched and congratulated, and then they had to participate in the banquet specially prepared by the emperor for the new science and technology scholars, which was a supreme honor. This kind of showy thing naturally needs to be well prepared, and there can be no mistakes, otherwise it will be a shame and a big loss, and if you don't do it, you will be blamed by the emperor.
After Wang Heng was dragged by Xiaoqian and the other women to change his clothes and tidy up his makeup, Yue Luo said to Ji Wen beside him: "Master Ji, the emperor invited hundreds of officials and new science and technology scholars to a banquet in Qiongyuan, and named the slave family to sing and dance. It's not too early now, the slave family should go down and prepare, and they can't be accompanied. ”
After speaking, Yue Luo did not immediately turn around and leave, but looked at Ji Wen, as if he was waiting for something.
Ji Wen closed his eyes and muttered, "Father's name"
Yue Luo said softly again: "The slave family is gone, Ji Gongzi take care." ”
After speaking, Yue Luo really turned around and left.
Ji Wen suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Brother Yue! ”
"Huh?" Yue Luo turned his head and looked at Ji Wen suspiciously.
Ji Wendao: "Brother Yue, you and Wang Heng are relatively familiar, right?" Do you think that his articles can really be hand-picked as the champion? ”
Yue Luo said: "I know that Brother Lu Dao's poetry is very good, but as for how his articles are doing, I don't know." However, what does Ji Gongzi mean by asking? ”
"When my father appointed the top three, he could see the candidate's information. Brother Wang said that what he wrote on the temporary address was Luohua Pavilion. As he spoke, Ji Wen looked at Yue Luo's eyes, his eyes were not sharp, he was very gentle and honest.
Yue Luo smiled and said, "The slave family still doesn't understand what Ji Gongzi wants to say. ”
Ji Wen's eyes flashed and said: "Father also knows you, and he knows Luohua Pavilion." Don't you think that Wang Heng was handpicked as the champion and has something to do with you? (To be continued......)
