According to legend, the new champion across the horse tour street began in the Song Zhenzong period, because the champion Cai Qi is outstanding in learning and face like a crown jade, handsome demeanor, Zhenzong likes it too much, can't help but "show off", so he gave the royal horse guard, let its brocade robe hairpin flower across the horse parade street, a sensation in the city, the rear has the new science and technology Jinshi across the horse street this project.

In the Ming Dynasty, the so-called cross-horse parade street, in fact, after the Golden Palace roll call, the officials of the Ministry of Rites under the guidance of the drum music will hang the imperial list in the left gate of Chang'an, the champion led the people to pass through the Taihe Gate, the Meridian Gate, the End Gate, the Chengtian Gate, until the left gate of Chang'an to view the list, and then by the Shuntian Mansion Yin to the champion flower arrangement, draped in red silk, with the umbrella cover instrument from the champion to return to the first, in order to show the "emperor's grace is vast".

In the third year of Zhengde, the overall characteristics of this class of Jinshi are that the average age is small, and the average appearance is high.

Especially Sandingjia, the nineteen-year-old Tanhualang is completely a fairy-like figure, and the champion who has just reached the crown is also a rare beautiful man. Compared with this kind of prosperous beauty, Bangyan's appearance is slightly inferior, but it is also the standard appearance of a gentleman with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he will always be said to be good in the crowd, and he is only twenty-nine years old.

And the characteristic of this emperor is - love to be lively.

With such a group of dazzling young talents, how can the little emperor, who is already out of joy, not show off? !

After the 18th of the single, the champion was returned to the first, and on the 19th, the Enrong banquet was directly moved to the West Garden, and it was necessary to hold another grand cross-horse parade in the West Garden.

In order to expand the economic benefits of Xiyuan Scenic Area, the wind was released early, saying that in addition to the umbrella cover instrument, there are drums and sheng flutes, brocade clothes and colorful flags to open the way, the champion is led by a single horse, and the rest of the second and third top jinshi are all double and side-by-side, and walk slowly, so that the people can see enough.

This one will be the largest event in Xiyuan before the Dragon Boat Festival after Shangsi.

Since the Golden Palace roll call and the champion parade on the street, the people of the capital have heard that this new branch of Jinshi are all exceptionally handsome, and there was a matter of Xiyuan "catching a son-in-law under the list", and I heard that there are several "noble sons-in-law" who were arrested on the Shangsi Festival.

After having a lot of details and gossip, the people are more willing to go to Xiyuan and take a closer look at the gossip.

In addition to Shengdou Xiaomin, there are also some "nobles" who pay special attention - they all missed the Xiyuan list to catch their son-in-law, or hesitated, and now the emperor list has also been posted, just to catch a Jinshi son-in-law back.

The eldest princess of Chun'an also publicly said that she would come to see this parade, and said that it was not because her grandson-in-law was also among them, but because there were many talents in the Ming Dynasty, how could such a prosperous world not be seen!

He also said that he would bring his daughters, grandchildren, and daughters-in-law to see them, so that he would know that when he urged his husband, children and grandchildren to study and make progress, he would have such glory and glory on the lintel.

With these words in front of them, many ladies who were already tempted to see the excitement happened to come under the banner of educating their children and brought their families to see the parade.

Therefore, on the 19th day, it is really an empty alley, which is a little more lively than the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.

It is said that there are private rooms in the black market that are sold in good locations such as Hufeng Lou and Huanxi Sha, and it is said that the price has increased more than tenfold, and the demand is still in short supply.

What made Shen Rui smack his tongue was that the biggest promoter of this was His Majesty the Little Emperor himself, Brother Shou also specially asked Hufeng Lou to press a batch of boxes, and also hoarded a few restaurant boxes, pushing up the price before releasing it, making a lot of money.

In fact, the little emperor still has this idea of silver, and he will come out with one less hunt. He just, he liked the feeling of making money like this.

Every large-scale festival in Xiyuan made Brother Shou not only happy to see the excitement, but also made a lot of money - buying and selling by himself is really only a fraction, and the big head is still in the taxes on various businesses.

When Brother Shou proudly mentioned it to Shen Rui, Shen Rui couldn't cry or laugh, but he secretly smiled and sighed in his heart, the little emperor really shouldn't have been born in the emperor's family, and he had delayed such a business wizard.

*

On March 19, many large families set off early in the car.

Although the main road of Xiyuan is wide, there are four carriages in parallel, and there are more than two sides of the road for pedestrians to pass, but who knows how many people will be on this day, and if there are more pedestrians when they go late, they are afraid that the carriage will not be able to squeeze in.

In the private room with an excellent view of Huanxi Sha, Zhao Tong sat by the window, looking at the sparkling carriages and horses downstairs, eating sour plums while smiling and joking Yang Tian, "Oh, thanks to your boss's blessing, otherwise how much silver can buy such a good land!" ”

Yang Tian took a sip of her and said, "They are all going to be mothers, and they don't have a little bit of morality!" ”

She said and looked at Zhao Tong's slightly bulging lower abdomen with some concern, and said, "You are really, just sat down and ran out, you look at the crowd outside, and then collided, and the tire was ......."

Zhao Tong waved his hand and smiled: "Oh, don't worry, I have been practicing martial arts all these years, and my body is strong, when my mother gave birth to our brothers and sisters, she could still fight and carry stone locks while pregnant with a child, it is really not in the way." I've been in the house for the past few months, but I've been suffocated. ”

After a pause, he said to Yang Tian seriously: "Don't think I'm noisy, don't leave your fists and feet taught by me and the lady of the Lu family, you have a small body, it's better to practice more, you will get married next month, and you will have ......a child soon."

Yang Tian's face was flushed with shame, and he hurriedly covered his ears and said, "You are full of nonsense again, I will ignore you......"

Zhao Tong smiled and bent his eyes, and said in his mouth: "I will be the new daughter-in-law next month, and I am still so timid." He went to take her hand again and said, "Here are our sisters, what are you ashamed of, I am a good thing to say." That's it, don't you turn your face and don't look at me, I can't get out of it, I didn't say a few words when I was sleepy in the car, let's talk about it at this time, do you still cough in the spring? ”

Yang Tian wrinkled her nose, only then did she turn around, looking at the teasing smile on her face, she couldn't help but take a sip lightly, and said, "Look at your bad smile, it's not like you want to talk well!" ”

But he still smiled, and replied to her seriously: "It's only difficult in winter, and it's better when it's warm in spring, and it's a little wheezing when it's cloudy, and it's okay on sunny days." It's a lot stronger than it was last year. He added: "Actually, I am also practicing boxing, but I am busy with housekeeping, and sometimes I can't help but slack off, and I will practice again when I go back." ”

Zhao Tong nodded and said, "This is getting younger and younger every year, and it's still good." It is said that winter diseases are cured in summer, and this year at the beginning of summer, you will use the ginger juice recipe to compress your back, and next year it will be good. He smiled again: "This Guizhi mother, where to dig for the earthwork, it really has some effect." ”

Yang Tian smiled: "Yes, it's a loss to her." ”

Zhao Tong threw another plum into his mouth and said, "Your sour plum stains are really good, I'll wrap a bag back to my sister-in-law when I go back." ”

Yang Tian hurriedly instructed the eldest girl Banxia to find the shopkeeper, in addition to wrapping more plums, and then ask if this was bought outside or made at home, if it was her own thing, she copied the recipe.

When Banxia went out, Zhao Tong smiled and said, "This hasn't passed the door yet, so you will make this boss lady so generous, and Fang Zi will give it to others casually?" ”

Yang Tian stomped his feet in shame, "If you talk like this again, I'll leave!" ”

Zhao Tong hurriedly took two steps over and pulled Yang Tian over, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, mine is not, don't tease you again, and spare me this time!" He smiled and said like a man: "I thanked you for your recipe for my sister-in-law!" ”

Yang Tian didn't really get angry with her, but he was ashamed, snorted lightly with a red face, and finally couldn't help asking, "Sister-in-law's appetite is not better?" ”

Zhao Tong sighed and said, "No." Who knows what's wrong with her, I have a bad appetite for two or three months, and I gag from time to time, and now it's four months, and I can eat and sleep, and I don't delay anything. She's been almost nine months now, and she's still vomiting when she sees that she's about to give birth. ”

Yang Tian also sighed, because Gui Zhi's mother next to her was born as a stable woman, she knew these things about women best, and the British princess Sun You's morning sickness did not stop since she had a body, Yang Tian also asked Gui Zhi's mother to write an antiemetic prescription and sent it over, but it had no effect.

Gui Zhi's mother also told Yang Tian that women have different reactions to pregnancy, usually there will be morning sickness when the fetus is unstable in the first three months, and it will be better after three months, just like Zhao Tong now. But it is true that there are people like You who spit from beginning to end, which is not very rare.

If it is a poor family, this is troublesome, and at the end of the year, the mother herself has no strength, and the birth is even more dangerous. If you don't eat, the child is easy to grow badly, and if you lose in the womb, no matter how much you make up for it after birth, it will always be worse.

Fortunately, it is a rich and noble family like the British Mansion, and there are always many food supplements that can be taken by You's.

"Sister-in-law is such a delicate person...... I should persuade her to eat some. "Yang Tian is really anxious for You's family.

When she went to the banquet with the Yu family before, she met the You family a few times, but this noble daughter of the Horse Mansion and the grandson of the Guogong Mansion had no arrogance at all, she was gentle and very amiable. And because of the relationship between Zhang Hui and his wife, and the younger brother of her mother, You Xuan, who is also good friends with Shen Rui, she treats Yang Tian very closely.

"Well, don't worry, my sister-in-law, looking at the delicate and weak appearance, but she is extremely strong inside, and often says that she should eat more for the sake of the child, she just vomited cleanly, and she can still endure the food she doesn't like to stuff into her mouth when she turns her head." Zhao Tong sighed deeply again and said, "In this regard, I am not as good as her, I vomited so much that I really couldn't drink a sip of water." ”

Both of them sighed in unison, were silent for a moment, and Zhao Tong said in a low voice: "You also know the situation in our house." It's also thanks to her being so strong. I couldn't help her a while ago, and the old lady could still have a hand, but then the old lady was also sick, so she was the only one who gritted her teeth and held it down...... It's a shame that I don't vomit like she does all the time, and now that I'm fine, I'll hold on to her for the past two months, and I'll come back to take over after she gives birth. ”

Yang Tian silently shook Zhao Tong's hand and said, "You also take care of your own body." ”

Zhao Tong shook her back tightly, but only smiled bitterly.

The British prince Zhang Mao had a dozen concubines and seven sons. The son died early, and although he was crowned a grandson, because the grandson was too young to lose his fear, it was inevitable that an adult uncle would stare at the title.

After the death of the original wife Wang (Zhang Lun and Zhang Hui's own grandmother), Zhang Mao continued to play Xu's.

This Mrs. Xu has nothing to do, and when she is old, she always has to rely on the upper side.

Looking at the house, the aunts and aunts of the concubines are still alive and well, and these old aunts are not easy to get along with, she doesn't want to make wedding dresses with others; The second son, Zhang Gang, has no respect for her, and his personality is ruthless, and he is also unfamiliar.

In the end, Mrs. Xu chose the side of the grandson.

After the grandson got married, Mrs. Xu took the You family with her, taught her to be a housekeeper, and gradually handed over all the gifts in the Guogong Mansion to her.

The You family is also a transparent person, so he naturally knows what to repay Mrs. Xu, and the grandparents and grandchildren get along quite well.

After You's pregnancy, Zhang Gang's wife jumped out and said that she could help the housekeeper, not to mention that You's refusal, even Mrs. Xu's wouldn't let her. Mrs. Xu, who had gradually retired, went out of the mountain again and took Zhao Tong to support everything in the family.

Even the step-family is also a serious duchess, and the daughters-in-law naturally don't dare to say anything.

Zhao Tong also found out that she was pregnant, although she was in good health, she was also sad when she caught up with morning sickness, and she couldn't be a director at all.

To add insult to injury, at the end of the year, Mrs. Xu suddenly contracted a cold, and she couldn't afford to get sick, and she couldn't handle the housekeeper matter.

When the house was in the house, people's hearts fluctuated, and many aunts and concubines were ready to move, and how many cool words lit up the You family during the New Year's Festival.

How the You family didn't know their ambitions, and where they were willing to hand over the family affairs to them, it was not enough to add to the chaos. At that time, her fetus was stable, so she didn't say a word, no one needed it, and she stood up and took care of the family alone.

She is strong and capable, but as the months get older, her body is heavy, and she has morning sickness, and she is always unable to do it. Fortunately, now that Zhao Tong is three months old, the morning sickness has passed, and he can come out to help.

"I just hope that the old lady will get better soon." Zhao Tong sighed, her housekeeper's ability is there, but she is impatient, and she is even more disgusted with the faces of those uncles and aunts.

Yang Tian pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Although it is abrupt to say this, but ...... Sixth sister, look, do you want Guizhi's mother to go back with you to fight Xue's mother? ”

This Xue's mother is Zhao Tong's mother, who is responsible for Zhao Tong's diet and medicine to regulate her body.

Generally speaking, large families will not use the subordinates recommended by others, especially those who touch their hands on food, incense, medicines, etc., and the people who keep the rites will not recommend such subordinates to others, so as not to be contaminated with the rights and wrongs of the inner house, and they will not be able to make it clear.

Yang Tian and Zhao Tong are already getting along like sisters, and Yang Tian was also recommended by Zhao Tong to be a maid and servant woman who was a martial arts servant when she was sick, and this time it is not rude to recommend Gui Zhi's mother, who was born as a stable woman, to take care of pregnant women in the past, and she sincerely hopes that Zhao Tong is well.

Zhao Tong's eyes were slightly red, he held Yang Tian's hand, and only stabilized his emotions for a while: "I know you treat me well, don't worry, well, I don't need it for the time being." ”

She paused, and said with a smile that seemed to change the topic: "My silly girl, I only think about others, you are about to get married, and it is time to take care of it, and the day you get married ......" She covered her mouth and smiled, and whispered a few words in Yang Tian's ear.

Yang Tian's face burned red with shame, and he hurriedly got up to leave.

Zhao Tong pretended to say "oops", Yang Tian was worried about her body, hurriedly turned around, and asked her how she was, seeing her smile like a flower, she knew that she had been deceived, and became more and more ashamed.

Zhao Tong pulled her and said: "Good sister, good sister, don't be annoyed, don't be annoyed, although it's teasing you, but it's also the truth, I understand your kindness, if you need it, I will come to your side to borrow someone." But you also have to listen to Guizhi's mother, so that you can have a ......."

Yang Tian was not ashamed, nor was he annoyed, so he snorted helplessly.

Suddenly, someone knocked lightly outside the door, but it was Banxia who came up, and returned to the shopkeeper to send two small jars of sour plums to the carriage of the Guogong Mansion, and handed them over, and said: "Our wife is here with my in-laws' wife." ”

Yang Tian and Zhao Tong hurriedly got up to greet each other when they heard this.

But Zhao Tong was detained at home for the first three months to raise the fetus and never came to look for Yang Tian, there were a lot of things to talk about, and the pregnant woman was more afraid of crowds, so she made a post the first day, wanting to ask Yang Tian to go first.

The Yu family naturally had nothing to do, and Zhao Tong's car came to pick him up and asked Yang Tian to go first. She and Yang Shen's wife Wang Yan arranged everything at home for the day, and then took the second sister Yang Yue and the three boys out of the house to go out, and gathered Shen Rui's mother Xu and other Shen family members, and came to Xiyuan together.

Today's Enrong banquet, a group of examiners are also among the banquets, Yang Tinghe is not there, and the men of the Yang family all go with Shen Zhou, Shen Run and others. The female dependents came upstairs, and Zhao Tong and Yang Tian stepped forward to salute.

Xu and Zhao Tong are also familiar with each other, and asked her how she is doing with a smile, and said with a smile: "You young girls have a private room at home, so as not to be restrained in front of the elders and not have fun. ”

Zhao Tong was the most clever, so he was the first to smile and said: "Uncle is kind, it's just that we juniors should serve in front of the elders." ”

Xu waved his hand lovingly and said with a smile: "There are all maids and servants, and you will be used to serve them." Go, go. ”

Yu also smiled and pushed his daughter-in-law Wang Yan and said, "You can go too." It's all loose and loose today. ”

Wang Yan and the others all laughed, Sister Suiyu, He, Zhang Qingbai and other juniors were here, and the elders and daughters of the Xu family and the Yu family all went to the private room next to them.

Zhao Tong gently pushed Yang Tian, pursed his lips and whispered to Yang Tian and smiled: "You are blessed to meet such an enlightened mother-in-law." However, I guess that the idea of these two private rooms must have come from Shen Er. ”

Yang Tian didn't know how to be full of sweetness for a while, but he said: "Sixth sister, are you specifically teasing me today!" ”

Fourth brother, Xiao Nan and other children were naturally brought in for on-site education, but because they were afraid that the child would run around and bump into Zhao Tong, a pregnant woman, He and Zhang Qingbai tightened the child tightly.

Zhao Tong smiled and said that it was okay, she had kung fu, and pulled Zhang Qingbai's daughter over, grabbed food for her, and gave her the little hairpin on her head to play, and asked these children's mothers about parenting.

Sister Yu has just given birth and has rich experience, and when it comes to various precautions during pregnancy, Zhao Tong listens to it with relish, and can't wait to quickly take a piece of paper and write it down.

Not only Zhao Tong, but also Yang Tian and Yang Yue are about to become brides, so they naturally listen attentively.

Half an hour later, the street was already overcrowded, and the gongs could be heard from afar, and there were bursts of firecrackers, and the people on the street shouted "coming" and "coming", and everyone upstairs also leaned out to see.

First, there was the sound of neat footsteps, and a column of captains in brocade clothes with sticks trotted all the way, quickly separated the crowd, crossed the long sticks in their hands, and blocked the crowd out of the pedestrian road.

The people all know that this is the Xiyuan Jinyi Guard, and they usually patrol to maintain order in the Xiyuan. After more than a year of contact, I knew their rules and methods, so they all obeyed the command and retreated to both sides of the road, leaving a wide road surface.

Immediately afterwards, a general flag officer rode back and forth to both sides to shout to both sides, expressing his understanding of everyone's affection for the new branch jinshi, but it was better not to throw heavy objects such as silver ingots and gold bracelets, otherwise they would be punished as assassins if they hit someone.

The words were witty and humorous, and the solemn sense brought by the appearance of the captain in brocade clothes disappeared in an instant, and the people laughed, and there were two bold responses, and the atmosphere suddenly returned to liveliness.

Soon all the way to the gong, two teams of canopy flags of honor slowly came, the flags in the wind, set off a brocade wave, followed by a group of brocade musicians, holding drums and flutes, blowing and playing all the way, the tune is cheerful, more lively than the welcoming team, in such a momentum, the horse team of the new branch jinshi shines on the stage.

But when I saw that the horses were all snow-white, and immediately everyone was dressed in red brocade robes, red crosses, and hairpins on the side of their hats, and regardless of their appearance, just looking at this outfit made all the people applaud and cheer.

Although the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty is not as open as that of the Tang and Song dynasties, the love of beauty and the way of expression have not changed much from ancient times to the present.

If it weren't for the general banner of Jinyi Wei who took the first step to declare that he was not allowed to throw gold and silver heavy objects, I was afraid that there would really be a girl from a wealthy family who was not bad for money to throw the gold bracelet and gold hairpin down.

The flexible hawker of the brain melon is now selling sachet handkerchiefs in the crowd, the workmanship is rough and tight, it is better than the price is cheap, and it is not distressing to throw it out.

When the team marched quickly to the Hufeng Tower, I don't know who shouted "God bless the Ming, the holy monarch and the virtuous minister".

More than a dozen people shouted in unison, overpowering all the noise.

The crowd erupted into a tsunami-like cheer, and the sound swept through, and the people on both sides of the long street were infected by this atmosphere, and they responded and chanted, "God bless the Ming" and "Holy Monarch and Virtuous Minister" endlessly.

There are people in the new science and technology who know who shouted to please the emperor, but in this situation, they still can't help but be excited, their fighting spirit is high, and their posture is a little more upright.

And the little emperor in the private room on the top floor of the Lake Wind Building saw this scene, and sure enough, he was happy.

Qian Ning, who arranged this scene, saw the opportunity, knelt down with his clothes, and shouted: "God bless the Ming, the holy monarch has a virtuous minister." Long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”

Around, both the servants and the sons and daughters of the nobles were busy kneeling on the ground, shouting "Long live my emperor".

The little emperor felt like a mirror in his heart, but he was also quite useful to this sycophant, he raised his hand and said with a smile: "All the virtuous ministers love Qing's flat body, haha, all have rewards, all have rewards!" Ha ha. ”

Liu Zhong, who was behind the little emperor, raised his head slightly, and glanced at Qian Ning, who was smiling and full of words of thanks, and his eyes were shining.

*

It is usually a grace and honor banquet in the Ministry of Rites, and after the banquet, all the Jinshi should go to Honglu Temple to learn etiquette.

Now that this grace banquet has been moved to Xiyuan, it is impossible to rush back to Honglu Temple to learn etiquette after the banquet.

Honglu Temple had to send someone to Xiyuan, after the banquet directly and simply taught the Jinshi some of the etiquette of tomorrow's court, and the rest will be said after the emperor will give the court to serve the treasure money tomorrow.

This graceful banquet was set up in the Nantai Xiangyan Palace, and the officials and jinshi who went to the banquet were picked up by the official painting boat.

Nantai is built in the Yongle period, the island is deeply wooded, the water birds fly and gather, there are more rice field cottages, there is quite a water town scenery, it was the place where the emperor rested and read the crops.

This time, when Liu Zhong rebuilt the West Garden, he rebuilt the palace on the island, and set up the scenery according to the morning and evening scenery, the pavilions and pavilions are integrated with the mountains and rivers, so that when the morning glow is covered and the water mist is filled, it is like a fairyland.

Not to mention the new science and technology scholars, many officials are also here for the first time, and they can't help but feel relaxed.

It's a pity that in the end, it was just a banquet, and they were not given to play everywhere.

Many of the new scholars who were not happy simply visited the West Garden, of course, the purpose of more people was to make friends in the same year and expand their own contacts.

At this time, it was already afternoon, and most of the people who watched the new science and technology jinshi cross the horse street in the white morning dispersed, and the restaurants and tea shops were idle, which was providing a good place for the jinshi.

Many merchants will also do business, and they are extremely polite to the new science and technology scholars, giving away wine and food diligently, and even saying that they are free of charge, only asking for a pair of ink treasures to improve the "connotation" of the store.

And the most patronized by the Jinshi is Huanxi Sha, in addition to elegance, of course, because of the current champion list, Tanhua Chuanlu and other top people are gathering in Huanxi Sha.

Today, Zhu Jinshi crossed the horse and paraded the street by the people to welcome the road, it is really a boost, only the royal banquet where dare to be greedy for a cup, this time to turn to the West Garden and then drink, naturally to let go of the amount of drink happy.

How can there be no good poetry with good wine, Huanxi Sha is already fighting on the poem, but it is the first poem for the occasion, which is quite pleasing and the atmosphere is warm for a while.

Some people drank too much and were on the rise, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and said loudly: "Today's prosperous scene, it is good to combine everyone's poems and texts and print this poetry collection!" ”

Some people were drunk and applauded, and more people quieted down and subconsciously went to see Shen Rui.

The Green Seal Bookstore still has a seal.

It's just that Shen Rui can be passed on in the spot, and he should be ...... Nothing serious, right?

Most of the people present gave the manuscript to Qing Seal, and most of them had gone to the Shen Mansion to return the money to clear up the relationship, and they couldn't help but feel embarrassed now.

Yang Shen and Li Yanqing both frowned slightly, and Liu Ren also looked at Shen Rui, the palace test ranking has been released, and the elders of the family are not very well guarded against the fire in the Gongyuan, they all know more or less.

Especially Yang Shen's scroll was destroyed, and there were all kinds of battles in the court because of the rolling paper, facing his son who was about to enter the official career, Yang Tinghe would naturally analyze and understand him.

"This matter ......," Yang Shen asked Shen Rui in a low voice.

Before he finished speaking, Shen Rui had already said, "Don't worry, eldest brother, my master has already told me." Results will be available in a day or two. ”

Yang Shen heard that the second assistant Wang Hua had already explained, so he nodded and stopped mentioning it.

Shen Rui smiled, got up and held the lamp, saluted everyone present, and said loudly: "Thank you for your concern." Only the matter of the green seal, there is a ruling of the holy monarch and the virtuous ministers, and we just wait for the result. Thank you for not giving up, and thank you here! "Drink it all.

Everyone hurriedly returned a cup. Seeing this, Dai Dabin got up and rounded the field, saying that he had only won half a poem, and asked you to help consider it.

His cousin Lin Fuyu was not on the list, but he was not in Xiyuan at this time, and the two jinshi from the same township got up to help, and as soon as they talked about peace, the scene became lively again.

Shen Rui snorted, and said secretly in his heart, as expected.

But after the roll call of the Golden Palace yesterday, Wang Hua summoned him to the mansion and told him all the things he read that day.

Because I asked him, he was not in the first class, but he had a grudge.

Shen Rui didn't even know what to say for a while.

Because of Yang Shen's presence, the champion Shen Rui never thought about it, after all, Yang Shen is such an unborn talent, Shen Rui is also convinced, and he thinks that he can't keep up with enough hard work.

He didn't think about comparing himself to Shen Jin, outsiders want to see the excitement, for themselves this comparison is meaningless, and as the Xu family taught him and He Taizhi, Shen Jin is a member of the Shen clan, not their enemy. Especially Shen Jin is now the son-in-law of Shou Ninghou, and it is better to pull him over than to push him to the opposite side.

As for Sanding Jia, it's not that he didn't think about it, this time he will try to rank third, and the palace tried to see the little emperor's test questions, and he really felt it, and wrote the countermeasures very seriously.

It's just this kind of thing, he can only "do his best and obey the destiny of heaven".

The cabinet is not in harmony, and it is also the norm to suppress each other, and the princes of the court and the central government do not want to see Yang Tinghe's sons and sons-in-law within the first class.

Thinking back then, his teacher Wang Shouren would take the second exam, and he also entered the top ten in the palace exam, and was finally ranked seventh in the second grade. Kaoshu Jishi was even deposed, I don't know which cabinet veteran wrote it at that time.

Therefore, the reputation of the top two is not a pity for Shen Rui.

Wang Hua revealed this time, not only because even if he didn't say Yang Tinghe and others, he would tell Shen Rui that it was easy to make a gap from the mouths of others, but also because he didn't treat Shen Rui as an outsider and didn't hide it.

Shen Rui has always talked about everything with his teacher Wang Shouren, but with this teacher, he gossiped a lot of time, and almost never talked about political affairs.

Therefore, he pondered for a moment and responded: "As the master said, a temporary ranking is nothing, but it is easy to cause trouble, and it is even more easy to be burdened by fame, and it is not easy to perform." The master is dedicated to his grandson, and the grandson is ......"

Wang Hua waved his hand and said, "Since the old man has told you this, don't mention those polite words." Your article has been read by the old man repeatedly, and it is excellent, but Li Ge's 'adventurous' words are not entirely because he wants to stop you. At this time, you also said, 'Show', alas, Hengyun, you are young and vigorous, although you are right about the emperor's spleen and stomach, you should also know that there are some things that are not decided by the emperor in a word...... There are some things that are not decreed by holy order, and the local government will do things according to the rules. ”

Shen Rui didn't know, he knew this too well! Isn't it true that from ancient times to the present, there are policies and countermeasures?

He took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, my grandson will not rush forward, and my grandson will follow the example of the teacher and my father, work steadily and steadily, and then take every step of the way if you have merits." ”

If the emperor wants to have the final say, Wang Hua and Wang Shouren should have been in a high position a long time ago.

Wang Shouren has real military exploits, and his promotion is also obtained by the game between the little emperor and the cabinet. How can he, Shen Rui, be big.

"Moreover, the grandson has no ambition of Wang Jinggong (Wang Anshi)." Shen Rui didn't want to change the law, not because he didn't have the status of Wang Anshi and Zhang Juzheng, but because he didn't have a set of "new laws" suitable for the Ming Dynasty.

What he wants now is to make some changes as much as possible within a reasonable range, promote some development, protect some sprouts, grasp some opportunities, wait for the chain reaction, wait, and finally transform.

Wang Hua didn't think that he would answer like this, he pondered for a long time, stroked his beard and nodded, and said, "It's good that you know this way." ”

He paused, and suddenly asked: "The matter of the green seal, I'm afraid that someone will spread it soon, how should you deal with it." ”

The word "spread" was very strong, Shen Rui was stunned, his mind turned, and he couldn't help sighing, thinking that it was an opportunity for Qingzhen to become famous, and he could take this opportunity to push some engineering books. However, if someone deliberately proclaims it, then this 'name' is inevitably too big, and there is still a word in the world, called "to kill".

Qing Zhen saved the rolling paper of many lifters, if it was sought after by someone with a heart at this time, all the Jinshi were grateful, and then jumped out of the personal saying that he Shen Rui invited to buy people's hearts, but he couldn't argue.

Shen Rui thought about it again and again, and said, "Grace comes out from above." ”

Wang Hua stroked his beard and laughed: "Very good." Children can be taught. ”

Turned to Fang said: "Last year, the emperor once mentioned to the cabinet that he wanted to build a book pavilion, and at the beginning of the year, he also discussed recopying the "Yongle Canon", picking up some practical books and printing them. ”

Shen Rui has been preparing for the exam behind closed doors for a while, and he has never heard of this.

The Book Pavilion, which publishes practical books, is obviously the matter of the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion that he mentioned to the little emperor. He couldn't help but be in good spirits, and hurriedly said: "It is by this east wind that the green seal is engraved with the order of the present science and the time, and it is the emperor's grace that makes the scrolls of paper lost and recovered." ”

"It's just fast." Wang Huadao.

Shen Ruiying said: "Grandson, this is going to contact Liu Zhong and Liu Gonggong." ”

Wang Hua had taught Liu Zhong and had a very good impression of him, and he also acquiesced to his son Wang Shouren's dealings with him, and he was not surprised to see Shen Rui say this, but he still admonished, "Now that traitors are rampant in the palace, you should befriend him, and you must also guard against villains." ”

Shen Rui said yes again and again.

Wang Hua said again: "The emperor directly gave the official, and the old man speculated that it was either on the actual record of repairing the filial piety temple, or it should be on the building of the book pavilion. Needless to say, the completion of the book pavilion will inevitably be praised by Shilin, if you serve in any of them, it will be easy to be promoted because of merit. He looked at Shen Rui, "You should also have a plan in your heart." ”

Shen Rui was a little surprised, originally thought that there had never been a second-class or third-class direct official, but this time the emperor wanted to make an exception for Jiao Huangzhong to raise himself, Pang Tianqing, Liu Ren and other emperors' "own people".

Although the second class is usually edited after the three-year disbandment of the museum, the third class is a review, and now he has directly given the review, which seems to be a compromise, and even a little loss, but this saves three years, in fact, it starts much earlier than others, and if it is done well, it is no problem to upgrade two levels within three years.

Unexpectedly, the little emperor still has another chess trick buried in it.

Shen Rui couldn't help but be curious: "That Hu Zan Sect ...... Is Elder Li Ge also intending to do the same? ”

Wang Hua closed his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "You naturally think that the first class is the best, and the third class is what is the so-called Mrs. Ru." However, when it comes to employing people in the cabinet, as long as they are used, how can they stick to the first ranking. ”

Shen Rui was also silent for a while.

I heard Wang Hua say slowly: "In the past two years, Liu Jin said that he was purging Liu Xie Yu's party, but in fact, Li Ge's old people did not move less. This year is the year of Jingcha again......"

*

I just said those words yesterday, and sure enough, today the green seal was mentioned.

If it weren't for Shen Rui's urgent invitation to see him yesterday, he met Brother Shou in Liu Zhong's private house, Chen said about the Qing Seal, stopped to understand the sealing order, and waited for the Qing Seal to be unsealed today.

Shen Rui's eyes wandered around the field, looking for the person who mentioned the print, thinking that he had to be on guard.

Dai Dabin over there finished filling in the words, everyone applauded again and again, and suddenly someone ridiculed: "Bin Zhong is so good, and he is so talented, I don't know how many nobles are favored today, and I want to be the fast son-in-law of the east bed!" ”

Some people laughed, but some people went to see Pang Tianqing and a few others who were "caught under the list" on the Shangsi Festival that day.

Especially Pang Tianqing, although he will be the seventh in the exam, and it is normal for him to be fifth in the second class in the palace exam, but because he was directly awarded the official, he still can't help but be hated, saying that he relied on the eldest princess's mansion.

Pang Tianqing only poured himself a drink and didn't pay attention to it at all.

Dai Dabin is a teenager in the end, no matter how smart he is, he can't compare to those twenty or thirty-year-old people, his face turned red for a while, and said, "I...... I've already made a family appointment in my hometown. ”

The man smiled and said, "What's so difficult about getting engaged!" Retreat is. If there is a marquis mansion or a concubine, shouldn't you? ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent.

Of course, the Horse Mansion refers to Pang Tianqing, but this subject is not favored by the Hou Mansion, and only one is set by the Fengrun Bo family.

If it is said that it is the Hou Mansion, and there are words of engagement and resignation, I am afraid that it is ironic Shen Jin, the champion of the previous subject.

Shen Rui raised his eyes and saw that the person who spoke was in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance, and vaguely remembered that he was ranked in the second rank of more than eighty, and the person next to him seemed to have just started talking about the poetry collection.

Shen Rui narrowed his eyes, it seemed that this was coming for him.

As soon as he was about to speak, it was Pang Tianqing who got up first, walked to Dai Dabin's side, and said with a smile: "Bin Zhong's words are wonderful, but today's big exam has passed. ”

Pang Tianqing said and turned to raise his glass to Yang Shenyaoyao, and said: "I heard that Brother Yang made a song of 17 orders of 'snow' on this Huanxi sand tower before, and today Tianqing is ugly, how about making up a song of 17 orders of the word 'flower'?" ”

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, he raised his hand to take off the hairpin flower on the side of the hat, held the flower in his hand, walked a few steps, and became a poem.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then thunderous applause.

Pang Tianqing made a gesture, and then walked towards the Jinshi over there and said, "What do you call this benevolent brother?" ”

The Jinshi looked disdainful and said, "Liang Jin of Sui County." What does Brother Pang have to say? ”

Pang Tianqing smiled and said: "Pang Mou saw that his brother had a good posture and good eloquence, so he wanted to invite his brother to continue to make the words 'wind' and 'moon'. ”

That Liang Jin has passed the year of standing, the long beard under the chin is quite old, and the appearance is really mediocre, listening to Pang Tianqing say that his "demeanor" is clearly sarcastic, I can't help but get angry, and said coldly: "How dare you compare to Pang in the next review, there is a flower and a moon appearance to make the word 'flower' a seven-order order, and you can't do it in the next." ”

Pang Tianqing suddenly laughed twice, and then said loudly: "Brother Tai said that Pang Mou looked like a flower and the moon, and Pang Mou made a seventeen order for the word 'flower'." It's a brother, who keeps talking about 'Fengyue', but he can't write poems about 'wind' and 'moon', isn't it unworthy of his name? ”

After that, he put the flower in his hand to the side of the hat, raised his voice, and immediately made a song of the word 'wind'.

asked Yang Shen again, "Brother Yang may make another 'moon'?" ”

Yang Shen saw him wink, so he smiled and said, "Do your best." "After a little groaning, he also made a song of the word 'month' and seven orders.

All the Jinshi standing on Yang Shen Shen Rui's side applauded loudly, and even those who promoted narrowness shouted: "Bright as the moon, worthy of the name!" The real deal! ”

Liang Jin on the other side had a pale face, but he couldn't say a word.

Pang Tianqing arched his hand to the surroundings, turned to pick up the wine jug and poured himself a glass, raised his hand and raised his glass to the four sides, raised his head to the wine until the glass was dry, and then turned the cup, and there was no wine left.

This action is smooth, chic, he is already very handsome, and today he is wearing a brocade robe, a hairpin on the side of the hat, what a good son.

Fang Cai is also a couple of 17 Ling and Zhuangyuan Gong Dou poems, which shows his talent.

This powerful and confident posture is like saying: Lao Tzu is good-looking, talented, and deserves to be a noble son-in-law, what can you do with me?

Liang Jin was angry, but he couldn't compare with everything, and he heard someone whispering some cool words, it was nothing more than that he was jealous of others being the son-in-law of a high-ranking family because he was not good-looking, and he was so angry that he vomited blood.

The Jinshi next to him saw that the situation was not good, so he got up and said, "There is still something to do today, everyone use it slowly, accompany less and accompany less", and dragged this Liang Jin downstairs.

There was a burst of laughter upstairs, and the excitement was restored to before.

Pang Tianqing returned to his seat, and Dai Dabin hurriedly came over and said to him apologetically: "It was my words that accidentally affected Brother Pang." ”

Pang Tianqing waved his hand indifferently and said: "It's nothing, if you want to say something sour, you won't say anything, and he will bark indiscriminately." ”

Seeing that Dai Dabin was still very unhappy, Pang Tianqing laughed and said, "Bin Zhong, don't underestimate me." I'm not the kind of person who dares to do it, I chose this marriage by myself, no matter what others say, I know what I want. ”

After saying this, everyone at the table nodded frequently, and praised: "True temperament, true celebrity." ”

Pang Tianqing laughed and said: "I don't hide it from your brothers, in fact, if I don't make a family appointment in Beijing this time, and return to my hometown, the people waiting for me at home are not a good match, and they are too involved." It's better to make your own decisions. ”

He waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it, don't mention it." He asked Dai Dabin again: "But are you going back to your hometown to marry after taking a vacation?" ”

The new scholars have a few months of vacation to return to their hometowns, or to worship their ancestors or get married, and so on.

When it came to the marriage, Dai Dabin was a little embarrassed, his face was slightly red, and he said: "The marriage will not be completed until next year." ”

Everyone was happy again, and then they remembered that this was a young man, and then their eyes fell on Shen Ruilai, who was also not crowned.

Pang Tianqing said with a smile: "I know about Hengyun's marriage, on the twenty-eighth day of April, I want to ask for a glass of water and wine." ”

Shen Rui hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "That's great, I'm asking Brother Pang and Brother Dai to be the prime minister." ”

He pointed at Yang Shen with a sad face and said: "There is such an uncle who becomes a poet in seven steps, if the two brothers don't help me, I'm afraid that I can't open the door if I don't have poetry talent......"

The crowd burst into laughter.
