When the top three of the first class were pointed out, three eunuchs immediately stepped forward, cautiously walked in front of Zhou Chen and the others, and led the three of them into the Jinluan Palace.

At this moment, in the Jinluan Palace, Emperor Hongzhi was already sitting on the dragon chair.

With a warm smile on his face, he was constantly looking at the three people in the hall.

Especially Zhou Chen, the youngest of the three, was noticed a few more times by Emperor Hongzhi, as if he was admiring some gemstone and jade.

It didn't take long for the fifty-six Jinshi of the second class to be introduced into the Jinluan Hall by the eunuchs.

The Jinshi followed the etiquette previously taught by the officials of the Ministry of Rites and solemnly saluted to Emperor Hongzhi's thanksgiving.

As for those candidates who were born in the top three with the Jinshi, they were not qualified to enter the Jinluan Hall to face the saints, and they only needed to kneel outside the main hall and bow their heads to thank them.

Emperor Hongzhi has always been diligent in government and loves the people, and every day can be described as a day full of opportunities, and he is very busy.

The reason why he was able to come and see these protégés in person today was because he had squeezed out the time in his busy schedule.

Therefore, after all the scholars had saluted, Emperor Hongzhi encouraged the new scholars a few words, and he hurriedly returned to the Yangxin Palace to deal with official business.

With the departure of Emperor Hongzhi, the officials of the Ministry of Rites brought out a gold list.

This list will record the results of all the jinshi when they passed the palace examination, and the total will be hung outside the palace for three days.

At that time, people in the entire capital can go to see the list, and the so-called gold list title is also derived from this.

At this time, those who had obtained the Jinshi and the Gongshi who were born as the same Jinshi had nothing else to do.

Led by a group of eunuchs, they left the palace and waited outside the palace gates.

But for Zhou Chen and other Jinshi and third people, the really busy time has just begun.

Li Dongyang, the first assistant of the cabinet, took the second assistant Liu Jian and the elder Xie Qian and others into the Jinluan Palace, Li Dongyang said with a smile: "Why don't you go to the side hall to change clothes and wash up?" Later, I'm going to parade the streets! ”

For all the scholars in the world, this street boasting is a major event that they have dreamed of in their lives, and it may be the most beautiful day in their lives.

However, for Zhou Chen, this street praising is not a very good experience.

Originally, when he had just taken off his Jinshi suit and changed it into a bright red wedding dress, Zhou Chen still felt very good.

But when the palace maids and eunuchs pinned two big red flowers to the left and right of his ears, he was a little dissatisfied in his heart.

It's a pity that this is a tradition since ancient times, even if Zhou Chen's heart is uncomfortable, he can only wear these two big red flowers helplessly.

Returning to the Jinluan Palace, it happened that the previous champion and Bangyan also walked in, looking at the two of them dressed almost similarly to himself, Zhou Chen couldn't help but feel deeply amused.

At present, the three of them have changed into wedding clothes, and they are wearing two big red flowers on their heads, if they are not placed in this Jinluan Palace, ordinary people may really think that this is the groom official to marry.

After seeing that Zhou Chen and the three of them had already changed their clothes, the three officials of the Ministry of Rites personally sent them outside the palace gate.

There, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu had been waiting for a long time, and he walked in front, leading Zhou Chen and the top three of the first class to walk out towards the capital.

Behind Zhou Chen and the three of them were a group of Jinshi who had already come out to wait.

These jinshi walked on the official road on the left, while Zhou Chen and the other three walked on the central royal road.

In addition to the emperor, I am afraid that only the top three in each Enke Palace test can walk on it, and others are not qualified to set foot at all.

Of course, even if it is the top three Jinshi and the first in the palace examination, only the street officials are qualified to set foot in the royal road this time.

In the future, if there is no great grace, basically you can only honestly go to the official road.

After passing the imperial road, there is the Chengtian Gate on the outermost part of the palace, where three snow-white and colorless high-headed horses have already been prepared.

The bodies of the three horses are all covered in red and hung with colors, and there are many small officials standing next to them, holding gongs, drums, suona and other musical instruments.

After Zhou Chen and the three of them rode on horseback, the festive tune instantly played, making the neutral time lively.

Tall horses with snow-white hair walked on the long street, and both sides of the street were already crowded with people, men, women and children.

Today is a big day that only happens once every three years, and many girls who have not yet come out of the cabinet to marry will secretly run out to see if there will be any Ruyi Langjun among these Jinshi who are arguing about officials.

Being watched by countless people on both sides of the street, Zhou Chen was indeed a little uncomfortable at the beginning.

But later, Zhou Chen gradually adapted to this feeling of attention, and he was even faintly intoxicated.

Parade through the streets, worship in the Confucian Temple, visit the adults in the six departments, and then participate in the grand scale of the grace banquet.

This whole process went down and didn't stop until after the third watch.

Rao is Zhou Chen's good internal cultivation, but he still feels a lot of fatigue.

Especially as a tanhualang, he is sought after and loved by countless people, and the wine is one cup after another.

Although Zhou Chen forced out a lot of alcohol through the operation of internal force, his incomparably strong wine smell could still be smelled clearly from afar.

After returning to the inn, the inn where Zhou Chen stayed was still brightly lit.

From the innkeeper to the guy in the store, he didn't rest until Zhou Chen came back.

It wasn't until they saw Zhou Chen return to the room to rest that they relaxed one by one.

Tanhualang lives in his own inn, which is a great honor.

Not surprisingly, the room where Zhou Chen stayed in the future will be changed into a flower exploration room, and it will definitely become the upper room that countless candidates are vying for in the future.

"Our Tanhualang, whether it is literary talent or appearance, I don't say anything, if only I could be as talented and beautiful as Tanhualang!"

Looking at Zhou Chen's door closed, a shopkeeper sighed with emotion.

"Smack!"

However, as soon as the shopkeeper's words fell, a rag was thrown on him.

Then, the innkeeper's voice became louder: "Can you kid compare to Tanhualang?" Unless it's a dream, there's everything in the dream!

Don't be delusional here, hurry up and get a bucket of hot water for Tanhualang, so that Tanhualang can wash up and rest! ”
