Chapter 261: March 3, Enter Chang'an
On the third day of March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, it is a good time for spring, but on this day, the sons and brothers in Chang'an City are not busy traveling with the United States and enjoying the spring together, but they have rushed to the Mingde Gate in the south of Chang'an City.
There is no other reason, there is a person who wants to enter Chang'an today, and the only one who can make these sons put on such a posture is the eldest lady of the Zeng family who is called the first beauty in the world by Wenhua, the first son of Chang'an.
Wen Hua can be called the head of the four princes of Chang'an, which naturally makes sense, and the gorgeous poetry has made him capture many Qinglou Oiran and everyone's ladies.
To be able to make such a person who has been in the sea of flowers for many years called the first beauty in the world, most of the sons in Chang'an City choose to believe without hesitation, that is, they are unbelievers, and they also want to see what kind of woman can make this Xiongcheng read for half a year.
The Mingde Gate, which leads directly to Suzaku Street, has already seen a lot of people standing in front of the door and on both sides of the official road at this time, the son of the boy who is freshly dressed and angry, and the ladies who are hiding in the luxurious carriage, are all waiting for the person who does not know when he will arrive in Chang'an.
Fortunately, it is the season when the weather is comfortable, the fields on both sides of the official road have just been planted with tender green seedlings, and the poplars on the side of the road are also full of tender green leaves at this time.
Suzaku Avenue is dozens of zhang wide, and the official road outside the Mingde Gate is also quite wide, so although there are many people standing in the middle of the road, the people who enter and exit the Mingde Gate have not been greatly affected.
……
At this time, in the Qi Mansion of Yongxingfang, Xu Mingyuan, who had changed into a purple narrow-sleeved robe, straightened his clothes, nodded at Qi Yueru and Xiao Xia, who were smiling and looking at him on the side, and got into the black carriage that was easy to drive at the door.
As soon as the carriage drove out of Yongxingfang, Qi Yueru and Xiao Xia had already gotten into another carriage and asked the coachman, who looked quite honest, to go to Mingde Gate.
In the black carriage, Xu Mingyuan stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the carriage, looking at the scenery outside the carriage that kept retreating, but his expression was a little nervous.
Zeng Qingyi is going to enter Chang'an today, and last night he rested in a town thirty miles outside Chang'an City, calculating the time, Xu Mingyuan went out at this time, and he didn't have to wait too long when he arrived outside Mingdemen.
To say that he could know Zeng Qingyi's movements so accurately, he still relied on Li Mu's intelligence, after being drunk by Xu Mingyuan that day, he became more and more convinced that there was an ulterior secret between Xu Mingyuan and Zeng Qingyi. So he directly sent someone out to look for him all the way along the official road, and after catching up with Zeng Qingyi's team, he followed all the way back to Chang'an, and passed Zeng Qingyi back one by one with flying pigeons wherever he went.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he was able to know Zeng Qingyi's news every day, and Xu Mingyuan was still faintly happy when he learned about her distance from Chang'an.
In the past half a month, Xu Mingyuan has gradually gained a firm foothold in the Qinglong Fang, although he has not been able to fully control it, but in the eyes of everyone, at least it is not weaker than Lu Yu's status.
And with Xu Mingyuan's five hundred black cloud horses pushed to the courtyard wall of the capital lawsuit that day, the criminal department lost face, and His Majesty did not punish the Yuntai Division at all at all, except for verbally saying a few words about Shangguan Yuting, who was not standing above the court at all, and did not punish the Yuntai Division for half a point, which also made many people have a new assessment of the Yuntai Division.
At least since that day, the people of the Yuntai Division have gone out, and they have never been provoked and embarrassed for no reason, and the few things that have been pending before have been successfully resolved, and the people of Qinglongfang have gone out, as if their waists have hardened a lot.
As for He Hehe and Wang Xusheng, Xu Mingyuan was not in a hurry to promote these two, firstly, the qualifications of the two were still shallow, and it was difficult to convince the public, and secondly, Xu Mingyuan also wanted to let these two people win some people's hearts below, and when the time came, they would be promoted to be bare-pole officials.
The trial list will be released at the beginning of April, so there is no news yet, but there are already various versions of the top three guesses in Chang'an City.
Although the list is varied, the top position is surprisingly unified, and they all choose the top of the list. As for Ning Anzhi, Fang Tingyan, Bai Liyu, etc., they are all on the list, and Bai Molou is also on several lists, but the rankings are not high, ranking below Fang Tingyan.
As for Xu Mingyuan's name, he has never shown his face on those lists, and almost no one thinks that Xu Mingyuan can get any good results in the exam.
Xu Mingyuan didn't care about this, but Li Mu couldn't stand it, so he also made up a list, directly put Xu Mingyuan at the top of the list, and put Bai Molou in the second, as for that Wenhua, he was listed at the last place on the list, which means that he was barely on the list.
Originally, this kind of almost nonsense list was not much to pay attention to, but Li Mu took a few thousand taels of silver and smashed it, and it suddenly became one of the most popular lists.
And Xu Mingyuan's name also became loud in Chang'an with the popularity of this list, and some people who knew what he had done after entering Chang'an City would think that he was so powerful. And those who have never heard of his name think that he is the young master of a rich family, spending money to smash the list, if the time comes, he will try to release the list, and his name will fall to Sun Shan, it will really become a joke.
Suzaku Avenue is still lively, and the horse-drawn carriage drives on the wide street, but it does not dare to drive too fast.
This black carriage was ordered by Xu Mingyuan for a hundred taels of silver a few days ago, low-key and elegant, with exquisite carvings in the subtleties, showing the craftsmanship of craftsmen, and the two of them sitting side by side are not crowded.
The carriage was bought, and Xu Mingyuan hired a coachman again, and he went to Yuntai Division on weekdays, or went out to do something, and let the coachman drive there, but it didn't have to be troublesome every time.
Qi Yueru and Xiao Xia are also going out today, so Xu Mingyuan can only ask Yi Lai to help drive, and when he waits for the Chang'an gate, there are not many sons, and this little shelf still has to be placed.
However, what worries Xu Mingyuan is not those sons, although there are many princes and sons among these people, but Zeng Qingyi is also the daughter of the official department, and there are so many people gathered today, as long as they are not stupid to the extreme, no one will do anything to tease.
And if someone really wants to come forward to tease, Xu Mingyuan is not worried that Zeng Qingyi will suffer at all, I'm afraid she won't need to make a move, those sons who are thinking about how to leave a good impression in Zeng Qingyi's heart, can beat that down.
Xu Mingyuan is now worried about Shi Yuexin, who doesn't know where he is, since half of the people in Chang'an City know that Zeng Qingyi entered Chang'an today, how can Shi Yuexin not know.
The **** said that she wanted to fight with Zeng Qingyi outside Chang'an City, and with her character, she definitely did what she said. These two, no matter who wins or loses, today's events are not very good.
However, Xu Mingyuan wanted to know a little, those boys, looking at the number one beauty in their minds, would they be afraid of such a high martial arts. (To be continued.) )
