Chapter 38: Crossing the Streets
The final exam ranking is officially announced, but its specifications are relatively high, so it will also be more meaningful.
Yesterday's temple examination, except for the first class, was announced, but the rankings of other people are not yet known, and today's legend is to announce the others together.
The ceremony is very formal, and it is also an important ceremony for the great cadres, which needs to be held in the main hall.
At the end of the north gate, in front of the main hall, the yellow case has been placed, hundreds of ministers are listed below the yellow case, and a step stands straight one by one!
There is a special person at the bottom of the roll call, and after the roll call, the new branch jinshi will enter the main hall and stand in the place where the civil and military officials originally went to court.
Although the sky is just slightly bright, outside the north gate, the streets are already full of people, and there are lanterns lit on the walls of high-rise buildings one after another, and there are even dragon and lion dance teams ready to dance.
The Chuan Yi Ceremony and the Cross-Horse Parade are not only a grand event for the new scholars, but also a carnival festival for the whole Beijing.
Among the new scholars, Qiao Song is still in the first place, as soon as the hour arrives, the hall immediately remembers the majestic and far-reaching music, the music is over, followed by the whip that resounded through the sky.
When the whip is over, the officials of Honglu Temple chanted: "Spread the word begins!" ~~~~~”
The voice of the official has a long history, all the way to the north gate, and the people guarding the north gate immediately cheered! "It's started, it's started, it's started, I don't know what the top three look like this year?" Someone shouted excitedly.
"What are you doing in such a hurry, you won't know when you cross the streets for a while." He said that he was not in a hurry, but the expression on his face betrayed him.
After the official voice of Honglu Temple fell, another official came out and read out the edict: "The edict said: On the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the tributaries of the world will be tested. The first class is given to the Jinshi and the first, the second is given to the Jinshi origin, and the third is given to the same Jinshi origin. Chin this! ”
After the official read out the edict, another official came out, sank into the dantian, and said in a loud voice: "The first place is Qiao Song!" ”
After he finished reading, the preacher officers on the ladder shouted in unison: "First place, first place, first place, Qiao Song!" Three times in a row, each louder than the other.
The sound was heard from the main hall to the outside of the north gate.
"Qiao Song, this year's new champion is called Qiao Song, I heard that he is not from the capital, he is from a small place, but he didn't expect to jump to the top position, it's really amazing!" Most of the people in the capital participated in the imperial examination this time, and several were the sons of ministers, but none of them could win against him.
"You still know too little, I heard that this new champion is only fifteen this year, not a year, sixteen years old, and born handsome, and is six yuan and the first, the great Qianguo for so many years, the six yuan and the first characters have only appeared in total, but there has never been such a young age, what a character, what a talent!" This time, a small half of the people in the capital participated in the examination, and several of them were the sons of ministers, and their reputation in the capital was also very high, and they were also members of several famous book clubs in the capital.
"Seriously, if only I could catch him and become a son-in-law." The man said with emotion.
"Catch it back as a son-in-law? You think it's quite beautiful, but it's a pity that you don't have your share, I'm afraid that those adults in the court have already started, I heard that this champion's marriage is entirely in charge of her sister, and his sister doesn't look down on it, he won't marry back. Speaking of Qiao's Hospital, you must have heard of it, and the champion is the eldest brother of the founder of Qiao's Hospital. ”
"My sister is in charge of marriage, shouldn't this be his own decision? What do children understand? ”
"Children's families, then you think wrong, the little girl is very capable, Qiao's Hospital has been familiar in the capital recently, many difficult diseases in the past, have been there, many people have shown signs of improvement, and people's medical skills are good." Whoever wants to offend the doctor, don't die.
"Really? I've only been back for a few days, and I really don't know what happened in the capital recently. That champion's sister is so powerful? "No, the champion is only sixteen years old, how old can his sister be, can her medical skills be higher than the doctors of the Tai Hospital?
"Hearsay is not credible, how about you go and see for yourself to find out the truth?" No matter how much he says, no matter how good it sounds, it is better to go and see for yourself.
At first, he didn't believe that he would be so powerful, just like this brother, and he could compare to those famous doctors in the capital? Later, his mother's old / problem was committed again, and he didn't get better after seeing so many doctors, so he heard someone mention Qiao's Hospital, so he took his mother to see a doctor, but he didn't expect that his mother's body improved a lot after a few days, and he couldn't get out of bed before, but now he can get out of bed and walk around by himself, such a big change, so that he no longer dares to underestimate the doctors in Qiao's Hospital.
There was a lot of noise outside the north gate, but it didn't affect others.
Qiao Song's face was tense, he looked straight ahead, and followed the officials who came to guide him along the north gate until he reached the outside of the main hall.
When he walked along the road, the legend did not stop, and reported all the way down, but the three-tone transmission can only be enjoyed by the champion, which is also the honor of the champion!
Bangyan, Tanhua, and then the second class, only don't sing, the top three of the same jinshi, will not be on the list of the passenger, after the passing, these top three jinshi will enter the north gate together, obviously it is a common scene of three hundred people, but they do not deserve to have a name.
The difference between the second class and the third class is far more than these, and the subsequent award of officials can see how big the gap is!
After all the new science and technology scholars entered the main hall, after a few words of encouragement from the emperor, it was the cross-horse parade that everyone was looking forward to.
It is said that it is said to cross the horse to parade the street, but the only people who can really ride on the horse are the top three of the first class, not that the court is reluctant to those horses, the reason why it is so arranged is just to highlight the status of the top three, and the top three are not something that everyone can afford!
At this time, the sky is already bright, and the starting point of the cross-horse parade street is not the north gate, but the east gate.
Similarly, at the east gate, there are also a lot of people on both sides, considering the safety issues, there are many officials on both sides doing security work, to prevent the people from being too enthusiastic, and directly carry these new science and technology scholars home.
Qiao Song's chest was put on a big red flower, and he was carefully helped to ride on the horse, and he took the lead, and after the gongs and drums sounded, the cross-horse parade officially began!
The time to cross the horse and walk around the main street of the capital will not be too long, start from the east gate and walk around the main street of the capital, return to the north gate, and then go to the kilometer to participate in the Qionglin banquet.
When the cross-horse parade began, the people on both sides of the street were completely boiling.
The fruits, juanpa, hydrangeas, flowers and plants in their hands were thrown towards the Jinshi on the street!
The walking jinshi can still cover one or two with their hands, but the three people in the first class on the horse are not so lucky, they can't cover it with their hands at all, and they become their targets alive.
The best location of Juxian Building does not need to be determined by Furong, it has already been left behind, the person who did this is none other than Jun Lichen, Juxian Lou is his, but it is just a matter of words.
Today, the entire Qiao family is really dispatched, and no one is absent. Fortunately, the private room was big enough to fit them all.
"Little brother, take it easy, don't throw yourself down." Qiao Bai was so excited that he couldn't do it, and most of his body leaned out, for fear that he would be too excited and fall onto the street with a bang, and it would be easy to cause a stampede with so many people.
"No, no." Qiao Bai shook his hand indifferently and continued to lie there, looking around.
"Girl, I'll look at the little boy, don't worry." The seat where Fleur stood was right next to Qiao Bai, and if she really fell, she would be able to fish people up as soon as possible.
Qiao Xi shook his head helplessly, "Then you take a fancy to him." "Don't you just look at a cross-horse parade street, what's so beautiful, she thinks that the eldest brother is pitiful, there are so many people at the bottom, and then look at what they are holding in their hands, they should all be thrown at them, how do they feel like circus animals, specially pulled out to be visited.
This reminded her of another picture, which was very similar to it, except that the things in the hands of these people were going to change, turning into rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, pebbles, etc., which was when the superbad people paraded through the streets, and the people threw a bunch of things at them in order to vent their anger.
Good cross-horse parade streets, bad parades in the streets, how weird it looks, she might as well drink tea quietly.
With a burst of gongs to open the way, three tall horses carried the new champions, Bangyan, and Tanhua towards the main street.
Afterwards, they were followed by colorful flags and battles. and soldiers who are responsible for maintaining order.
"Wow~~ Champion Lang is here!!" 510 Literature
"Tanhualang~~~"
A scream kicked off the prelude to the cross-horse parade in the street, regardless of men, women and children, each of them looked at the three people on the horse with bright eyes, among which there were many young and beautiful women.
In the past, I didn't dare to say or do it, but today there are no taboos, and everything is thrown at those three people.
Of course, Qiao Song is better than the three of them in terms of appearance, plus he is young and handsome, which has attracted the favor of many women.
"So handsome, so young champion ~~~"
"Ah~~ He really looks good~~" They all became, starry eyes.
Where has Qiao Song seen such a battle, especially some women, all kinds of flowers, embroidered handkerchiefs, sachets and hydrangeas falling from the sky, he is embarrassed to hide on the horse, but there are times when he can't dodge.
Zhuang Yuanlang's embarrassed posture caused bursts of low laughter, and the eyes and flower probes on both sides were envious, and he only hated that his father and mother did not have a good skin for themselves.
In the private room on the second floor of Juxian Building, after Qiao Bai saw his brother's figure, he had a fight with those women, shouting the word 'brother' vigorously.
When he saw so many things smashed at his eldest brother, his heart was not so beautiful, the eldest brother was purely to suffer, those things seemed to have little weight, but there were too many, and it still hurt to smash on his body.
Qiao Song and his entourage quickly passed in front of them, and someone who was originally in high spirits became depressed after seeing his eldest brother's state, returned to the table from the window and sat down, took a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Aren't you happy just now, what's going on? How did you get sullen. Qiao Xi sat and could vaguely see the scene on the street. The eldest brother's embarrassment naturally did not escape her eyes.
"Big brother is so pitiful." Qiao Bai said with an aggrieved face.
"Pathetic?" Qiao Xi immediately seemed to think of something, and laughed lowly, "Yes, it is indeed pitiful, it was originally a very enjoyable thing, but now it has become a sympathetic thing, but those people below are laughing heartily." ”
"How much has the big brother walked now, behind~~~" There is still a long distance on the main street, and now it is already so crazy, the more you move forward, are there more crazy people, things, and things waiting for you. Thinking about the feeling of those things smashing on his body, he felt terrible pain, and his eldest brother couldn't be bruised and purple.
"That can't be helped, this makes him the champion, he has to bear it." He took a sip of water and continued, "I've seen it too, so why don't I go back." "This scene looks a little chaotic, look at the street behind people walking, it's messy!
"Don't look at it, don't look at it. Go home. He stuffed all the pastries in his hand into his mouth, wiped his mouth, and jumped out of the chair to take a step forward.
Qiao Song's appearance came all the way, and the girls in the capital were intoxicated by him one by one, even the nobles in the high gate.
Zhuangyuanlang, it takes three years to come out like that, so the wives and ladies in the high gate also came out to join in the fun, and some still have the idea of catching a son-in-law.
But they won't be as crazy as the women below, they have their reserve, but if they are really moved, it's okay to show their hearts to their mothers, there have always been high-ranking women with Zhuang Yuanlang, and this time Zhuangyuanlang is still so young and handsome, which makes the girls float.
Whose daughter is not pregnant with spring, Qiao Song satisfies every woman who is pregnant with spring for the imagination of her future husband, he is natural, riding on a horse, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and he looks more gentle and elegant~~~
"Sister, what are you going to do today?" After returning home, Qiao Xi began to arrange tonight's dishes, and today is a day worth celebrating.
My brother finally got the top prize as he wished, and everyone remembered him.
Along the way, only he knows the hardships, and he is thought to be talented, but he doesn't know what he is paying behind it.
No matter how talented a person is, if he does not study hard, it will be in vain.
In the past few years, she knew that her eldest brother was holding a breath in her heart, although he never said it, but who she was, how could she not know what he was thinking.
However, she did not expose it, but told him some things about the Celestial Empire in the past few years, and she hoped that those things could help him, so that he could let go of his mind and do what he wanted, and now he has done it.
When my father was alive, he hoped that his eldest brother would be able to show his talent in the examination and be able to glorify his ancestors, although he couldn't see it, but I believe that he could be happy under Jiuquan.
"What do you want to eat? Can you eat whatever you want today? "Little gluttonous cat, when it comes to eating, his eyes will light up, and he doesn't know what to do in the future, he has to find him a chef who is very powerful, otherwise he is really not very good at serving his current mouth!
"Really?" As soon as he said it, he was satisfied, and Qiao Bai's eyes lit up.
Qiao Xi nodded in affirmation!
"Then I want stewed chicken with mushrooms, braised crucian carp, vinegared cabbage, crystal cake, sauce elbow ~~~" Qiao Bai thought about it and reported several dishes in a row.
"Is this the eldest brother's celebration banquet or yours, why do you like to eat? You have to prepare something that the big brother likes. "When it comes to eating, I can't wait so much, and none of the names of the dishes reported are my eldest brother's favorite.
"Hehe, my brother eats it anyway." Qiao Bai stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.
"Chunhua, do you have all these dishes at home?" The name of the dish reported by the younger brother is slipping, and I don't know if there are any ingredients at home, if not, I have to buy all the ingredients before the end of the market, otherwise what will I do.
"Some girls have some and some don't, I'll go to the market and buy them now." As he spoke, he took off his apron and prepared to go grocery shopping.
"I'll go with you."
The two of them went out and bought a lot of big bags and small bags.
Seeing that it was almost dark, Qiao Xi began to prepare tonight's dishes after estimating the time.
Qiao Song came back a little late, no way, who made him the champion of Tanzhou, there are many officials in Tanzhou who serve in Beijing, as a person from the same place, of course he will pull him to have a small gathering, saying that it is a small gathering, this meeting is also very large, and there are many people who come.
Officialdom is like this, in the future, everyone will be officials in the same dynasty, no one knows how far he can go, it's always right to make friends first, if the relationship is really good, Qiao Song will have a future in the future, and the official position is higher than them, maybe they can be promoted.
It is not so easy to be an official in the capital, and if you are not careful, you may lose your head, and they have to think twice without taking a step.
When Qiao Song came back, he had a little alcohol on his body, and just by smelling this wine, he knew that he must have been trapped by those officials in Tanzhou, and officialdom was like this.
Fortunately, she had prepared it early, and the decanting soup was prepared early.
After drinking the sobering soup, Qiao Song felt a lot better, and after he came to his senses, he muttered that he should not drink alcohol in the future, this wine is really harmful.
Listening to his crazy words, Qiao Xi felt funny, what this drunk man said was not credible.
When you wake up, you may forget what you said today.
"Big brother, are you sober? If not, let Brother He take you down, take a bath and sleep. As for the dishes on this table, it can only be said that he has no appetite and can't enjoy it, but it is cheap for the little brother's gluttonous cat.
