Chapter 056: Champion Lang
Yang Yi was helping Luo Fan remove the stitches in the inn, and suddenly the sound of gongs and drums came from the street, today is the day when Enke released the list, Yang Yi and the two really didn't dare to go to see the list, for fear of being 'caught', and they forcibly visited the church to get married, and inexplicably became someone's son-in-law.
At this time, Qin Zigui's old servant who went to see the list ran upstairs in a hurry, and shouted excitedly: "Congratulations to Yang Gongzi, congratulations to the second son!" ”
Qin Zigui jumped up, grabbed the old servant's collar in a gaffe and asked urgently, "Say it quickly!" How is it? ”
"Yang Gongzi is the top student in high school, and the second son has the ...... to explore flowers"
"Really ......"
After Qin Zigui asked two words, he couldn't catch it in one breath and fainted, and fell to the ground with a bang!
"Second son!" The old servant shouted and went up to help, Yang Yi also flew out, but there was another scream behind him, Luo Fan covered the wound and gasped for a long time, Yang Yi looked back, it was roughly just touching his wound, no matter what, rushed over and touched Qin Zigui's snort, fortunately, there is gas!
Yang Yi was annoyed, his face was embarrassed now, he really hated iron and steel, he grabbed Qin Zigui's collar and crackled a few slaps, Qin Zigui woke up slowly, but it was still like sleepwalking, and he smirked at the first sentence of his mouth: "Brother Yang, you are the champion, and the younger brother is ........"
"You're big!" Yang Yi was puzzled, raised his foot and kicked him in the ass, one kick, two feet and three feet, and his hands were not idle.
"Brother Yang spares his life! The little brother knows it's wrong! Ouch ......"
"Look at me if I don't kill you, how many times have I told you, and the result is still like this, there is a fart in the middle of Tanhua, just like you, you will not be able to get on the wall if you are a prime minister, I am so disappointed!"
The scene of chasing and beating in the room made others stunned, and even Luo Fan couldn't care about the pain, and watched Yang Yi abuse Qin Zigui in a daze, and couldn't understand what was going on with these two people.
The official messenger who reported the good news came downstairs and loudly reported the news that Yang Yi and Qin Zigui were high school champions and tanhua respectively, and at this time the building was already surrounded by people watching the excitement, and the joyful gongs and drums were mixed with the cheers of hundreds of people.
The shopkeeper of Anren Inn is also ecstatic, his shop suddenly came out of a champion and a flower, from now on, his store must be prosperous, the wealth is extensive, he shouted Xiao Er, let people go outside the door to set off firecrackers, and also formed colorful silk, as if his family won the champion.
Yang Yi asked the shopkeeper to carry out a basket of copper coins, and six or seven little two happily threw them in front of the people outside the store, and there were countless robbers for adults and children, cheers, exclamations, congratulations, and the sound was extremely hot. A basket of copper coins seems to be a lot, but in fact, it is only a hundred, which is nothing to Yang Yi now.
finally waited for the officials who reported the good news and the people who watched the excitement to disperse, and at this time, some unsuccessful scholars came up, their expressions were a little depressed, but they still forced a smile and asked Yang Yi and Qin Zigui for some used pen and ink. This custom has probably existed since the former Tang Dynasty, and it is said that if you can get some pen and ink from those on the list, you can get their talent and luck, and you can successfully get on the list when you take the next exam.
Scholars pay attention to a face, this kind of behavior is actually no different from begging, but the imperial examination is thousands of troops across the single-plank bridge, in addition to talent, but also need luck to do, some people have tried and failed, and they are about to grow old, and they are still burdened with the expectations of a family, even the whole family, teachers, relatives and friends, if you fail to do it repeatedly, neighbors, relatives, friends, and even family members look down on you, this heavy pressure makes the candidates breathless, so it is a humiliating thing to ask for pen and ink, But there are still many who come with shame.
Yang Yi understands them, yesterday everyone was still on an equal footing, but today they have to ask for alms in a low voice, which is really uncomfortable. Every candidate who came to ask for pen and ink, he treated him politely, sincerely comforted him, and then sent out the prepared pen and ink, and the failure was already the biggest disappointment in life, don't sprinkle salt on other people's wounds.
The next day, Zhao Xu held a banquet in the Jiying Palace, which was the Qionglin banquet of the Great Song Dynasty.
After a series of celebrations, Yang Yi took Qin Zigui to visit Zhang Dian for the first time. Before Zhang Duan entered Beijing, Zhao Xu prepared a luxurious mansion for him in Letaifang.
Yang Yi and Qin Zigui walked into the front hall of Zhang's Mansion under the guidance of his subordinates, Zhang Dian was drinking tea in the hall, and he was still wearing court clothes, probably just returning home, Yang Yi looked at the carved beams and paintings in front of him, Huating Yuyu, and sighed: "I used to think that Old Man Zhang, you were a Qing official, I really didn't expect it, as soon as I entered Beijing, I bought such a luxurious house, it seems that Old Man Zhang, you are not less greedy for the sesame oil money of Dongxiao Palace!" ”…,
Zhang Dian didn't expect him to say this, and he squirted out all the tea in his mouth, and the beard sticky with tea shook and shook, which was very funny.
"Old man Zhang, don't get excited, we still have some friendship, don't worry, I won't tell you!"
"Ahem! Xiaoyou's mouth is becoming more and more profitable, the old man is greedy for the sesame oil money of Dongxiao Palace, there is no evidence, but someone slandered the white jade statue of Dongxiao Palace, this is a fact. ”
Seeing Yang Yi again, Zhang Dian seemed to be in a good mood, and also made fun of him, Yang Yi smiled and said: "Okay, let's settle it, Qingyun Lao Dao is not a good person, you know that pretending to be a god and deceiving those good men and women all day long, it is nothing if you are greedy for him to order sesame oil!" ”
"Little friend, it's not a gentleman's thing to say that people are bad behind your back!"
"Old man Zhang, don't insult me with the word 'gentleman', I, Yang Yi, have never been a gentleman."
"Hahaha......."
After Yang Yi finished speaking, he laughed loudly regardless of Zhang Dan, took a sip of tea, and then leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, although he has won the top prize in the exam, but the official position has not yet been decided, so he still seems very casual, and when he becomes a subordinate relationship with Zhang Dian in the future, I am afraid that it will not be so casual.
Zhang Dian didn't know his mentality, and didn't care, he also missed the scene of laughing and scolding with Yang Yi in Dongxiao Palace, he then smiled: "Sure enough, in response to that sentence, gold will always shine, after Xiaoyou entered Beijing, all kinds of deeds The old man has also heard of it in the local area, and now he is a high school champion, which is really admired by people all over the world!" ”
"Old man Zhang, you can train you as much as you want, you don't need to talk like this."
"Hehe, with the mind of the champion, why do you need the old man to say more!"
Yang Yi glanced at Qin Zigui, and said slowly: "In fact, the younger generation also knows that although it is good to take the top prize, this is only the beginning of the journey of thousands of miles. Is there a champion like him in ancient and modern times? ”
Zhang Dian smiled and said nothing, Qin Zigui got up and gave a solemn salute to the two of them when he heard it, he understood that Yang Yi was saying this to him, Yang Yi and Zhang Dian had always talked to the point, and he would not say it in such detail. He also finally understood why Yang Yi had punched and kicked him that day, and he looked like he hated iron but not steel.
As Yang Yi said, whether it is the champion or Tanhua, it is just a qualification to be an official, this is just the beginning of entering the official career, the officialdom is very sinister, if you get carried away at this time, you don't know how to die next, Qin Zigui has figured out this, and he is only full of gratitude to the two.
Yang Yi waved his hand to him, and then said to the people of Zhang's Mansion who were waiting in the hall: "It's not early, hurry up and prepare wine and food, the food should be good, the wine should be fragrant, don't slack off the guests!" ”
What kind of person is this, if you don't know, listen to his tone, and think that he is the master! The subordinates of the Zhang Mansion couldn't turn around for a while, and they were bluffed. Zhang Dian glanced at Yang Yi funny, and then ordered: "Don't be stunned, just prepare according to what Zhuang Yuanlang said!" ”
"Old man Zhang, what about the boy you brought with you, or the old man, this newcomer is like this, rare and strange!"
Zhang's family is still in his hometown, after the wine and food are served, the three of them drink at the same table, until the wine and food are full, and the next person brings tea again, Zhangdun saw that he could hold back for so long without asking, and couldn't help nodding secretly, then he said: "The little friends will enter the Jixian Academy, and Tanhualang will be the first director of the council." ”
When Yang Yi heard this, he sighed sincerely: "I thought I could go out to make a general judgment, or go to Shangxian to be a soil overlord or something, but I want to enter the Qingshui Yamen like Jixian Academy, alas! Zhang Xianggong, it seems that the younger generations will have to go to your house every day to eat. ”
"Outside the place? Now don't even think about it! Zhang Dian responded with a smile, with Zhang Tun's understanding of Yang Yi, he may really want to go out to the place, after all, now the dispute between the DPRK and China is fierce, and if he is not careful, he will get into trouble if he is not careful, and if he is released to the place as the champion for a few years, not only can he avoid the wind and waves in the court, but also mix his qualifications in the locality, if nothing else, as soon as he returns to Beijing in a few years, he will be able to go straight to the center.
Yang Yi also knew that there was not much chance of going out now, Zhang Dian would not agree, and Zhao Xu probably would not agree.
"After the Ministry of Officials writes, you still have some time to prepare, if you don't worry that the Order Hall is alone in Hangzhou, take advantage of this time to take it into Beijing to settle."
Yang Yi nodded, since he couldn't be released, he definitely couldn't leave the Yang family alone in Hangzhou, he really couldn't rest assured, and as a son of man, it was very unfilial to leave his mother alone in the distance.
Yang Yi talked with Zhang Dian for a while before leaving. The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion is also in Letaifang, when Yang Yi and the two passed by the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion, they happened to meet Li Qingchen getting off in front of the house, it is impossible to avoid it, Yang Yi bowed far away and gave a salute, and was about to leave.
Li Qingchen looked at him quietly, and then suddenly said loudly: "You come into the mansion with me!" ”
Yang Yi hesitated for a moment, but finally followed, and the matter with the Li family would have to be concluded in front of Li Qingchen sooner or later, otherwise in the future, he would not see him in the court, and it would not be a way to always do this.
Qin Zigui understood that it was inconvenient for him to be present, so he immediately said goodbye: "Brother Yang, junior brother will go back to the inn first, you are still ...... Forget it, little brother won't say much! ”
Yang Yi nodded to him and quietly followed Li Qingchen into the mansion, he didn't know what Li Qingchen was going to say, so he could only take one step at a time.
