Chapter 288: The Emperor (Extra)
In the spring of this year, the Marquis of Lingyang Si Ruoming won the first place with his outstanding literary talent, but he had the ambition to enter the imperial history platform, but he was too young and did not have enough experience, Emperor Hengde only gave a commendation, and did not seal his official position for the time being.
The imperial examination is the fairest and most likely opportunity for the entire Zhaoling to leap into the dragon gate, and on the day the list is released, the people in the city gather early to see the list.
Major inns, wine shops and opera gardens have prepared various celebrations for candidates, and students from Tai Academy also have activities.
Although they are from a family, they don't have to worry about running out of food and clothing if they don't get famous, but they are also willing to join in the fun and win glory for their ancestors.
Driven by the outside atmosphere, Shen Bai became a little more active, and privately prepared the event with Zhou Jue, Wu Shouxin and the three brothers of the Qian family were all pulled to participate, and the two went to grind Gu Hengzhou.
Gu Hengzhou didn't like to join in the fun, he either went home or went back to the school lieutenant camp after class, and he didn't know what kind of dead face the two used, so they made Gu Hengzhou nod together.
This is the first time that Zhao Che has participated in the spring exam, and Emperor Hengde also allowed Zhao Che to go out of the palace and walk around the city, and go to LaCrosse Tower to see the situation of these candidates.
LaCrosse Building is a famous place in the city to meet friends with literature, there are poems and songs in the building every three or five times, Yaxing will also be paired, guess the riddle, many literati and ink writers will spontaneously come to participate, a lot of popular remarks will soon spread all over the city, and even have a special person to sort out the book for sale, spread widely.
Not wanting to attract too much attention, Zhao Che changed into the clothes of ordinary children of the family and left the palace, and stayed in the private room on the third floor early in the morning.
The location of LaCrosse Building is good, with the moat at its back, facing the imperial city, and it is in the downtown but has its own literati style.
Before the building was completely lively, Zhao Che had just taken a sip of tea when he saw Shen Bai and Zhou Jue leading Gu Hengzhou towards this side from the window.
This time he was busy with the spring test, Zhao Cheming paid little attention to Shen Bai on his face, but he knew very well in his heart that he was actually avoiding each other like Shen Bai.
Shen Bai was frightened by him, and he was afraid that he would not be able to help but soften.
I haven't seen him for a long time, Shen Bai has lost some weight again, but he has jumped a little taller.
came out to join in the fun, she regained her vitality and vigor, which was completely different from the helpless fear in Dali Temple that night.
They booked a place in advance, and went straight to the destination after coming in, Zhao Che was inconvenient to come forward, so let Xiaobei go out to investigate, a few people did not wrap a private room like Zhao Che, but booked a place in the corridor on the third floor, only using screens and bead curtains to separate a relatively private space, which is convenient for observing the situation outside, especially suitable for watching the excitement.
Zhao Che didn't plan to go over, so he asked Xiaobei to ask the shopkeeper, knowing that a few teenagers only ordered crispy peanuts, osmanthus cakes, and wine-stuffed balls to coax their mouths, and didn't order anything delicious, so he asked the shopkeeper to find a reason to give them a lot of food.
Their location was outside Zhao Che's private room, and Zhao Che didn't have the heart to look out the window, so he simply asked someone to bring the screen and open the door to listen to them.
Gu Hengzhou was introverted and talked very little, just hearing other people making noise.
Shen Bai talks a lot, he doesn't deal with a few people, he always likes to talk and choke each other, if it weren't for Gu Hengzhou in charge, I'm afraid that it will be a fight after a while.
She seemed to have stepped out of the shadow of that incident, Zhao Che secretly breathed a sigh of relief, listening to her arguing with Zhou Jue, the corners of her lips rose unconsciously.
LaCrosse Lou prepared a champion banquet, and Si Ruoming came to participate soon, but he didn't come alone, and he was still holding his sister Si Ruoya.
Si Ruoya and Shen Bai are about the same age, but they have been pampered and raised since they were children, and the first time they went out to join in the fun, they obediently shrank in Si Ruoming's arms, only revealing a pair of big black and shiny eyes looking out curiously. Standby station
Si Ruoya is still young, and she doesn't wear a veil when she goes out, although she shrinks in Si Ruoming's arms, she can also see that she is a pink, tender, cute and loving little girl.
Several teenagers don't have a sister, so they can't help but stretch their necks to look, and their words are full of envy, hoping that they can have such a beautiful sister.
At first, Zhao Che heard Shen Bai interject a few words, and gradually fell silent.
Zhao Che frowned slightly, and asked Xiaobei to go out and take a look, and after a while, Xiaobei came back and said, "Your Highness, Young Master Shen is busy eating, so he doesn't have time to speak." ”
So people who love to talk can not talk because of food?
Zhao Che didn't believe it, and asked the shopkeeper to send them some signature snacks.
After Si Ruoming sat down, others came one after another, in addition to the man, there were also many young ladies of the family who also wore their fathers and brothers to the upstairs private room to see the knowledge.
The teenager was also very curious about the little girl, and the focus of the discussion couldn't help but go astray.
Shen Bai became more and more silent, and Zhao Che's brows became more and more wrinkled.
There is only one Shen Bai in the Taifu Mansion, and she will definitely not lose her on weekdays, and the boys she comes into contact with in the Tai Academy are all big and arrogant, and they have been raised as men since childhood, so she naturally doesn't feel that there is any problem, and now when she sees other people's little girls, she sees that the girls should be weak and cared for in every way, and she will naturally have a big gap in her heart.
It's the same girl, why is she so tired?
Zhao Che's heart was tight, and for a moment he wanted to rush out and hug Shen Bai, and then rub her head to comfort her.
However, reason quickly returned, and in the end he did nothing.
The people are almost all here, the champion banquet begins, the beginning is the drumming and passing the flowers, the people who receive the lanterns, improvise a limerick poem, this requirement is very low, just to stir up the atmosphere, the saliva is OK, most people can participate.
The lanterns were slowly uploaded from the first floor, and when they entered this link, Shen Bai was aroused again, and he leaned on the railing and watched with interest.
The higher the lantern goes, the higher the level of the poems composed, the more people applaud, and the teenagers are eager to try.
Zhao Che listened very carefully, and asked Xiaobei to write down all the more outstanding people, so that he could go back to investigate the background and promote him in the future.
The lantern quickly spread to the third floor, and before it reached Si Ruoming's hand, it fell in a private room, and the people in the private room quickly made a poem, took it out and read it, and immediately applauded, but it was finally revealed that it was not a man, but Jiang De'an's eldest daughter Jiang Qinse.
As soon as the news came out, the building immediately boiled.
Everyone is praising Jiang Qinse for having such a talent at a young age, if he is a man, he will definitely have a bright future in the future.
Zhou Jue and the others were also very surprised, thinking that if Jiang Qinse entered the Tai Academy for further study, he should be able to rank in the middle of the ranking.
Shen Baiwen Xiu had just been admitted to the top five, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Then I have the fifth, isn't it many times better than her?" ”
Zhou Jue didn't think about it, rolled his eyes directly, and said, "People are little girls, are you embarrassed to compare with others?" ”
