At the end of the ceremony, the saint returned to the palace. The new branch jinshi got on the horse according to the ranking, and the royal forest army opened the way in front, followed by a team with musical instruments, followed by more than 200 new science and technology jinshi on horseback, and finally a team of royal forest army.
Everywhere you pass, people will come out to watch, and the whole street will be like a festival, beating gongs and drums, and firecrackers. The windows on the second floor facing the street are basically open, and everyone who usually doesn't show up easily has come out to see the excitement today.
Bangyan Cheng Wende smiled: "Tanhualang, you have to be careful, don't be hit by the fruit." โ
In order to show their affection for the new Kejinshi, onlookers would throw flowers, sachets, handkerchiefs, and some fruits. The champion may be the most talented, but the one who attracts the most attention is Tanhualang. What's more, this year's champion is over forty years old, still has a beard, and looks very old.
At this time, a sachet flew over, Yan Tongzhu dodged it, Cheng Wende caught it, and then the woman who threw the sachet in the restaurant next to her said in annoyance: "Oops, I threw it wrong, I was going to throw it to Tanhualang!" โ
"Sure enough, Tanhualang, you're still more popular." Cheng Wende is not very old, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and he is also beautiful.
Yan Tongzhu smiled, looked up and wanted to see, who said it so bluntly? As soon as he looked up, the women upstairs were going crazy, and they all screamed and shouted: "Tanhualang, I'm here, look at me, look at me." โ
"Look at me, look at me, Tanhualang, I'm more beautiful."
"Tanhualang, don't listen to her, I'm more beautiful than her."
"Tanhualang, the sachet was thrown to you by me."
"Kyori's daughter's family is so enthusiastic and unrestrained?" Cheng Wende, a candidate from other places, asked in surprise.
"There is a loss of integrity, there is a loss of integrity." The champion blows his beard and glares.
Chuanyu is older, almost sixty years old, but he is not as pedantic as the champion, and said with a smile: "If young people want to be dull, then it will not be decent, and besides, what you want is this liveliness." โ
Seeing Yan Tongzhu and Cheng Wende showing an approving look, the champion felt that he and these three people were not all the way, they did not conspire with each other, and they did not speculate for more than half a sentence.
Chuanyi's eyes flashed slightly, this is a person who is stupid in reading, just in the hall, the few questions from the saint show that this Tanhualang's family background is not simple, the grandson of the Taifu is already prominent, and the Nanping girl, who can be called a girl by the saint, must be a younger generation favored by the saint, even if it is not a princess, it is very likely to be a county lord.
The grandson of Taifu.
Son of the county lord.
Even if you don't make friends, you shouldn't be offended, Chuanyu is not too optimistic about the career of this champion. What about being talented? Officialdom is not only about learning, but also about being a person and doing things.
Yan Tongzhu didn't think it was wrong, smiled faintly, and reminded Bangyan and Chuanyu, "You remember the hairpin." โ
At this time, the two of them found that most of the Jinshi behind them had received flowers thrown by the people and put them on their heads, and Cheng Wende said with great interest: "Hurry up, we will also wear them." โ
Yan Tongzhu was not in a hurry, he waited for his little Fuxing sister to throw flowers to him, looking left and right, it was too bad, when he came out, he forgot to ask them which restaurant they had booked?
Yan Tongzhu hadn't found Yan Hagi yet, but let Gao Lan see him, Gao Lan screamed, "Yan Tongzhu, Yan Tongzhu, I'm here, I'm here." She waved the handkerchief in her hand as she shouted.
"Tanhualang, who are you that girl?" Cheng Wende asked with a gossipy face.
"A shameless man." When Yan Tongzhu saw Gao Lan, his face stinked as if he had eaten a fly.
Although they haven't been together for a long time, Cheng Wende can see that Yan Tongzhu is not a difficult person to get along with, and he can make a polite noble son speak ill of him, which shows that the woman must have done something despicable.
"Yan Tongzhu, I'll throw flowers to you, you have to catch it!" Gao Lan shouted as he threw the big red silk flower in his hand at Yan Tongzhu.
Yan Tongzhu naturally couldn't pick up the flower, not only did he not take it, but he deliberately strangled the horse and let the horse stop for a while, and the flower fell in front of the horse; Yan Tongzhu shook the reins lightly, the horse moved forward, and the horse's hooves stepped on the silk flower, and the flower was flattened.
"Mother, he didn't pick up my flowers." Gao Lan cried with a sad face,
"If you don't pick it up, you don't answer it." Gao Zhu didn't care too much about authenticity.
"Mother." Gao Lan stomped her feet, "I fell in love with Yan Tongzhu at a glance, he is now a Tanhua, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future, if I marry him, I will be the wife of the official." Mother, you find someone to go to the Yan family again, and let the Yan family come over to propose marriage. โ
Gao Zhu frowned, "Your second aunt said ......"
"The second aunt can't see us well, she asked Fenfang to follow the third prince of the East Palace in and out every day, but she didn't let me go, for fear that the third son would take a fancy to me." Gao Lan interrupted her.
Gao Zhu gave birth to a daughter, Gao Lan, she is not a smart person herself, after listening to her daughter's words, she was a little dissatisfied with Zhu Shen, and she also had the heart to compete with Zhu Shen, Zhu Fenfang can marry into the royal family, why can't her daughter marry into the family of high-ranking officials?
"Ming'er, I'll go to Yan's house in person." Gao Zhu made up his mind and said.
"Thank you, mother." Gao Lan curled the corners of her mouth.
The team of the new science and technology jinshi continued to advance, and Yan Tongzhu was thinking about what flowers Yan Hagi would let him hairpin, when he felt hit by something, and looked down to see that it was a small green wild fruit.
"Don't throw away the fruit!" The official who maintained order shouted with a black face.
Cheng Wende said with a smile: "Vote for me with papaya, and repay it with Qiongju." Bandit retribution, always think it is good! Vote for me with a peach, and repay it with Qiong Yao. Bandit retribution, always think it is good! Vote for me with Mu Li, and repay it with Qiongjiu. Bandit retribution, always think it is good! Tanhualang, this is a wild fruit, what are you going to repay it? โ
"Repay it with an old fist." Yan Tongzhu said with a smile, fortunately, it was Xiao Yeguo, if he really threw a big papaya, he would definitely be smashed and fainted.
Cheng Wende and Chuanyu laughed,
"Fourth brother, fourth brother." Yan Tongzhu followed the sound and saw his little sister standing on the second floor, holding a blooming red peony in her hand, and she didn't know where the little girl picked it from.
"Little sister, throw it over." Yan Tongzhu beckoned to Yan Hagi.
His beckoning attracted a crowd of screams and cheers, and a bunch of handkerchiefs, sachets, silk flowers, and flowers rushed towards him. Yan Hagi smiled, "Mother, the fourth brother is really popular." โ
"What's the use of being popular, and not being able to deceive me...... Marry a daughter-in-law and come back. The county lord of Nanping disliked his son in his mouth, but he was happy in his heart.
"Brother Candle is a big Dengke, and he will be a big Dengke soon, don't worry." Mrs. Yan smiled and went to the window to look for her son.
"Little sister, hurry up." After Yan Tongzhu dodged that wave of attacks, he urged Yan Hagi to say, the team moved forward, and he was about to walk over.
Yan Hao hurriedly threw the flower branch out, Yan Tongzhu raised his hand, caught the flower, and stuck the flower branch on his hat. When the team was far away, the Yan family left the restaurant and took the carriage home.
An hour later, when they arrived at the Champion Building, the new science and technology jinshi crossed the horse and finally came to an end, and this glory was only once in a lifetime, which made them unforgettable for a lifetime. The rankings have been announced, and these new science and technology scholars are also in the mood to make friends.
The same department is a kind of network, and the officialdom can also get each other's support, in addition to the champion list of the eyes of Tanhua, those parents who are officials in the court are also surrounded by people. Stepping into the official career, the ranking of the imperial examination is not so important.
"You two can be awarded officials directly, and I still have to take the court exam." Chuanyun sighed.
Cheng Wende said with a smile: "You have passed the palace examination, and you are still afraid of the court examination." โ
Yan Tongzhu smiled and said, "I'm a small character." Yan Tongzhu intends to make friends with the two, as for Chuanyun, he is a little cautious, but so what?
Chuanyu also smiled: "Under the small surname Ming Zitao." โ
"I'm in small print." Cheng Wende said with a smile.
But everyone didn't talk for long, after all, there was still a Qionglin banquet to participate in the evening. Back home, Yan Hagi asked Yan Tongzhu for credit, "Fourth brother, I said that if you can click on the flowers, you will become a flower." โ
"Yes, thanks to Xiaomei's auspicious words, thank you, Xiaomei." Yan Tongzhu said with a smile.
"Open a private vault and pick a gift." Yan Hagi doesn't want to thank her verbally, she wants to be affordable.
The county lord of Nanping couldn't cry or laugh, "This girl who is a fan of money." โ
Yan Tongzhu said generously: "Whatever you like, you can choose." โ
"Thank you, Fourth Brother." Yan Hagi said with a smile.
"Aren't you afraid that this girl will empty your private vault?" The county lord of Nanping asked with a smile.
"Empty it, empty it, as long as the little sister is happy." Yan Tongzhu said with a smile.
The brother and sister have a good relationship, the county lord of Nanping is happy to see it, and he doesn't say anything, besides, his daughter is also a person who knows proportion, and she will never empty her brother's private treasury.
In the evening, Yan Tongzhu went to Qionglin Yuan to participate in the Qionglin Banquet, the Qionglin Banquet can also be called the Grace Banquet, for the gift of the Son of Heaven, according to the custom, the Holy will refer to the founding of the country to preside over the banquet, this kind of trivial matter, the Holy is not biased, several princes take turns to preside, this year it is the turn of the Ping Guogong.
The people who participated in the banquet, whether it was a new branch of Jinshi or a hundred civil and military officials, had to put a hairpin on their heads, and they had to hang a card on the flower branch, which was engraved with the words "Grace Banquet". Yan Tongzhu is Tanhua, and his brand, like other Jinshi, is a bronze medal. Only the champion is a silver medal, which shows the preferential treatment of the imperial court to the champion.
Ping Guogong saw Yan Tongzhu and patted him on the shoulder happily, "You kid is good, not bad." "My sister's grandson is not much different from his grandson.
The main purpose of the Enrong banquet is to eat and drink, chat and connect with feelings by the way. At this banquet, there is also a purpose, that is, the ministers look at their sons-in-law or grandsons-in-law. As for whether the saint will choose a son-in-law among them, this is not too clear, because there is no new science and technology scholar in this dynasty for the time being.
When the auspicious time came, after Ping Guogong led the new Jinshi to hold a ceremony, everyone sat down according to their status, one champion, one Bangyan, one Tanhua, and one other Jinshi.
After the banquet, everyone left Qionglin Yuan and returned home, as for which Jinshi was favored, it is not known for the time being.
The next day, Yan Hagi took a jade abacus that he turned out of Yan Tongzhu's private vault, and counted the accounts while flipping through the account books. The county lord of Nanping sat aside and pounded walnuts to eat, "The jade abacus is good-looking, that is, you kid uses it to settle accounts, and it destroys the heavens." โ
"The abacus is used for settling accounts, and if it is placed there, it is called waste." Yan Hagi is authentic.
The mother and daughter were arguing and playing, and the maid came in, "County Lord, Mrs. Gao asks to see you." โ
"What will happen when my cousin comes over?" The county lord of Nanping thought it was Gao Zijun's mother, and the two families didn't have much contact, and when Mrs. Gao came over, she must have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.
The lord of Nanping went to the meeting room and found the woman sitting there, she didn't know, "Are you?" โ
"County Lord, hello, the clumsy husband is Gao Langzhong, my maiden name is Zhu, and my second sister-in-law is the sister of the crown princess." Gao Zhu identified himself.
The county lord of Nanping has a good memory, and he remembered the past at once, his eyes were slightly cold, he sat down on the chair, and did not ask the maid to change the hot tea for her, "What is the matter with Mrs. Gao coming over?" โ
Gao Zhu said with a smile: "County Lord, it's like this, my little girl is fourteen years old and looks ......."
"How your little girl looks has nothing to do with the lord of this county." The county lord of Nanping didn't expect the Gao family to be so unsophisticated, and the woman's family came directly to discuss marriage.
Gao Zhu thought of a lot of words to promote his daughter, which had just started, but was interrupted by the county lord of Nanping, stunned for a moment, and regained his strength, "County lord, Ling Lang ......"
"How my son is, it's none of your business." The county lord of Nanping interrupted her again.
"No, county lord, I'm here to tell you about the family affairs of the two families this time." Gao Zhu said quickly.
"Miss Guifu, my son is not blessed, Mrs. Gao, please go back." The county lord of Nanping concisely refused, and issued an eviction order, the wife of such a low-ranking official, she should be entertained.
"County Lord, this man should get married, and the woman should get married, my Lan'er and your son are the same age, and they are just a good pair, this is two good and one good." Gao Zhu said to himself.
"Mrs. Gao, toads can't eat swan meat, the son of the county lord is not something your daughter can covet." The lord of Nanping County picked up the teacup, "Come on, send Mrs. Gao out." โ
Gao Zhu refused to leave like this, "County Lord, you think about it again, my family Lan'er, she is really well-behaved, she deserves to be ......"
"Beat this man out of here." The county lord of Nanping shouted sharply.
Gao Zhu's family was kicked out, and the lord of Nanping ordered Menzi not to allow this person to enter the door in the future.
The county lord of Nanping didn't tell Yan Hao about this, nor did he mention it to Yan Tongzhu, so he blamed Yan Siye, "What did you do?" You haven't forgotten, why is this surnamed Gao still in Beijing? Get him away and let him get out of the way with his unclear wife and daughter. โ
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, I haven't forgotten this, you wait, in half a month, the family surnamed Gao will get out of the capital." Yan Siye soothed her.
"Okay, I'll wait." Only then did the county lord of Nanping remove his anger, "Half a month later, if you can't do it, I will tell my father and my father." โ
"It must be done." Yan Siye assured.
Yan Tongzhu went to the noon gate to receive the crown, court clothes, supplements and other things after participating in the Enrong banquet on the third day, and the champion awarded the Hanlin Academy to revise, from the six products, the list of eyes, and the flowers were awarded to the Hanlin Academy to edit and repair, and the seven products were corrected. Other Jinshi also have to take the court examination, if the results are good, they will be selected to enter the Hanlin Academy as the Shu Jishi, that is, commonly known as the "point Hanlin", and the rest will be awarded the positions of director, Zhongshu, pedestrian, and judge according to the results.
