Chapter 617: The Imperial Street Boasting Official
Several ministers who also wanted to step forward to pat the horse were a step late, and secretly scolded Qi Xugu in their hearts, and hurriedly shouted in unison with all the ministers: "The saint is wise, and the country is lucky." ”
Xiao Yu's face was a little pale, and he raised his hand: "Zhongqing is flat." ”
"The new jinshi is retiring." The imperial eunuch shouted loudly at Xiao Yu's signal.
Lord Mo, several officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple hurriedly led the scholars out of the main hall.
Out of the palace, the second and third class jinshi were led by other officials to the hall where the palace test had been and waited, and a Qionglin banquet would be held there an hour later.
The first and third jinshi were led out of the palace by Lord Mo and others, and they wanted to praise the officials in the street.
According to convention, Tanhua must ask a young and handsome young man to do it.
But Zhao Ruxi is a beautiful girl, Duan Chen is a young man with a jade face, and then he brings up the same young and handsome Lu Shan to do a flower exploration, Xiao Qi feels that people in the Great Jin Dynasty will say that he is judged by his appearance, and he does not value real talent and learning, and he has nothing to do with the imperial history to criticize him.
For this reason, he simply left the third place in the mustache test in place and made a flower exploration.
Therefore, this year's Tanhualang is a burly man with a beard and a height of eight feet, named Ding Lianjin.
Looking at the two outstanding champions and Tanhua, Ding Lianjin felt like a dream in his heart. He originally thought that he would not be able to enter the top three.
On the way, Master Mo asked Zhao Ruxi nervously: "I don't know if Miss Zhao has ever ridden a horse?" ”
Before the emperor appointed them, they didn't know if Zhao Ruxi could enter the first class. Therefore this is not considered. Men have to learn both archery and royalty courses in the academy, so this problem has never been a problem at all.
At this moment, this problem was placed in front of him, and Lord Mo's heart was raised-if Zhao Ruxi couldn't ride a horse, how could this compliment be completed? Even if someone leads the horse in front of her, the little girl may not dare to sit on the horse's back.
If a person accidentally fell off the horse and was injured, it would be a joke for the emperor to appoint Zhao Ruxi as the champion, which proved that the emperor's decision was wrong.
At that time, the emperor will be angry and embarrassed, and he can't blame Zhao Ruxi clearly, he will inevitably send this fire to these officials, and their black gauze hats will not be able to keep it.
Thinking of this, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Lord Mo's head.
"Yes." Zhao Ruxi also saw Master Mo's nervousness, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I ride a horse quite well." ”
Master Mo breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good." ”
Duan Chen and Ding Lianjin also breathed a sigh of relief.
If Zhao Ruxi didn't know how to ride a horse, they might be in trouble today. This is the most beautiful moment in their lives, Duan Chen is okay, for the goddess doesn't feel anything, Ding Lianjin feels that it is a lifelong regret.
Ji Bang had already posted out when the list was finalized in the Chuanyun Ceremony, and Kang Shilin, who had someone inside, was the first to get the news.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect my Lao Kang to accept a female disciple and even get the champion, it's really amazing. Hurry up, hurry up and go to the teahouse to make a reservation, I want to see the official of the royal street. ”
"Congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the old lady." Kang An and a group of subordinates hurriedly said hello.
Immediately afterwards, the entire Kang Mansion masters knew about it, and they came to congratulate Kang Shilin.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Miss Zhao has won the champion." In the mansion of the eldest princess of Shangde in the capital, a small servant quickly rushed into the inner courtyard to give the eldest princess Shangde good news.
"What?" Everyone in the room stood up and looked at the little servant.
"Champion, Miss Zhiwei is the champion." The little guy snorted and gasped.
"Ah, oh my God, the emperor is sage." Mrs. Cui, who has always been steady, screamed, and tears flowed out of her eyes.
At this time, there were not only Mrs. Cui in the house, but also Mrs. Chen and others who helped Princess Shangde take care of several academy masters.
They came here to wait for the news from the palace, so that they could know Zhao Ruxi's ranking for the first time.
At this time, the wish was granted, and everyone cried with joy.
"Zhiwei really won glory for our women."
"yes. I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, she was too powerful. ”
After the eldest princess Shangde was overjoyed, she asked the housekeeper, "Is the box booked?" Receiving an affirmative answer, she wiped the tears from her face and stood up, "Let's go, let's go see the Zhiwei Kuaguan." ”
"Let's go." Everyone stood up.
The eldest princess of Shangde instructed the grandmother beside her: "You go to Suipingbo's Mansion in person, and invite the old lady of Suiguo and Mrs. Suipingbo to see the official together." ”
"Yes." Mama hurriedly left.
At this time, Suipingbo Mansion has also received good news.
"Oh my God, oh my God, our Suiping Bofu is really smoking from the ancestral tomb, Sister Xi is actually a high school champion, the Buddha blesses it." The moment the old lady heard the good news, she almost fainted.
"It's still the emperor's sage, and I'm willing to order our sister Xi to be the champion. Long live the emperor, long live, long live. The Zhu clan sincerely kowtowed three times in the direction of the palace.
got up and wiped away the tears of joy on her face, she hurriedly sent someone to report the good news to Kang Shilin and Zhao Yuanxun.
Suddenly remembering something, she called Ma Sheng again and ordered: "Hurry up and see if there is a seat in the teahouse on the royal street, and book a private room." If you don't have a private room, you can have a seat outside. After a while, the girl wants to praise the official in the street, and we have to go and see. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm going to take a look." The old lady said in a loud voice, and her name was Mama Jin, "Quickly bring my best clothes, I want to put them on." ”
Saying that, she said to Zhu again: "You too." Now that she is the champion mother, you have to dress better, don't lose our sister Xi's face. ”
Ma Sheng has been by Zhao Ruxi's side for the past two years, and he has also learned her meticulous thinking of taking one step and thinking ten steps, and she has already walked ahead of her master when considering problems.
He said: "The villain went to book a private room in the teahouse five days ago. But there are only two teahouses on Yu Street, and the private rooms have already been booked. The villain only booked a loose seat outside. ”
As soon as he heard that Ma Sheng had booked a seat five days ago, Zhu was very satisfied: "It's okay to have a loose seat." ”
Today is the most beautiful day in their Suiping Bo Mansion, and it is also a kind of enjoyment to sit on the loose seat and accept the envy and praise of others, and it doesn't matter if you have a box or not.
"Old lady, ma'am." A maid suddenly ran in and said to the two, "The eldest princess of Shangde has sent someone to invite you two to go to the teahouse to see the officials." ”
"Ahh The old lady and Zhu glanced at each other in surprise, "Hurry up, please." ”
It was the grandmother next to the eldest princess of Shangde, who came in to congratulate and invite, the old lady and the Zhu family quickly changed their clothes and took a sedan chair to the royal street.
When they arrived at the teahouse closest to the palace gate, Princess Shangde and Madame Cui were already there. In addition to them, Princess Zhennan and Xiao Ruotong were also present.
