The next day was the Ceremony.

This is nothing to do with Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan.

They only need to lead them to kneel on the left side of the imperial road after the emperor worships heaven and earth and the official announcement of Honglu Temple, and then they pretend to be mascots. However, the fourth place of the messenger Jiang Xianggong has a heavier task, to roll call the Jinshi behind him, after the singing of the "Qingping Chapter", three kneels and nine bows, with the list out, to Dong'an Gate outside the gold list. At this time, Du Jinning, the champion, led all the jinshi and others to watch the list.

This gold list was withdrawn and handed over to the cabinet collection after three days.

Coming out of the palace to watching the list in front of Dong'an Gate is the most glorious moment in the life of a scholar - crossing the horse and parading the streets.

At this time, Du Jinning held the hand-picked imperial edict in his hand, stepped across the golden saddle and red mane horse, hugged the front and back, opened the road with great enthusiasm, thundered with joy, shook the sky with joy, and put up lights all over the street.

The people of the capital are well-informed, and the spring festival once every three years has made them see too many Jinshi cross-horse parade streets, but they have never caused madness like this time: Zhuang Yuanlang and Kantan Hualang are so handsome, so handsome that many girls are ashamed of themselves. Although there are no mobile phones and computers in these years, the spread of news is not slow at all, and the girl and daughter-in-law who heard the news and see the pretty talent have filled the taverns and teahouses along the street, and the hairpins, handkerchiefs, and purses in their hands are thrown down like rain.

This made Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan extremely disturbed.

Fortunately, both of them have kung fu in their bodies, Qi Muyuan won't talk about it, the set of martial arts that Du Jinning and Liu Gao learned is specialized in dodging kung fu, and she doesn't care about other places, when she saw a hairpin thrown at the door in front of her, she dodged it with a light flash. Therefore, although there are a lot of hairpins on his body, he swims around the street, and his face is still like a crown of jade, and his demeanor is calm.

But the old man on the list couldn't stand it.

He was so old, naturally no one threw flowers at him. But Qi Muyuan and Du Jinning are used to being companions, even if Qi Muyuan takes care of the face of the list and will not let his horse surpass the list eye, but the distance between the two is extremely small. Those girls and daughters-in-law threw not enough heads, and from time to time there was still the wind blowing, and the hairpins, handkerchiefs, and purses thrown at Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan would inevitably fall on the eyes of the list.

If these hairpins are really thrown to themselves, it's okay, even if they are hit, they are happy. But Bangyan knew that it was all a mistake, and it was nothing if he was smashed on the face, but the critical blow he received in his heart was about to make him fall to the ground.

In a teahouse where Du Jinning and Liang Xiankuan cooperated, there was a group of women standing, who were the Chen family.

The reason why I said that there were not only the Chen family here, but also Du Jinning's three sisters. In addition, there is Du Fangfei's mother-in-law Xie Shi, and Du Fanghui's mother-in-law Mrs. Fang. These two are also the mothers of Xu Chengyuan and Fang Shaohua, and their son is also in the team of crossing the horse to travel the street.

If it weren't for Xie and Mrs. Fang inviting Chen to come and see the cross-horse parade on the street, Chen, who was quiet and quite calm about his "son" being admitted to the top prize, might not have come to the street to join in the fun.

The two sisters are here, and Du Fangling is naturally coming too. Not only her, but Lu Xiaobei, who is responsible for protecting the safety of the female dependents, also came. Anyway, he used to be a member of the Du family, and Du Fangfei and Du Fanghui were common, so there was no need to be too evasive.

Before the procession reached this street, Xie Shi, who hadn't seen Lu Xiaobei for a long time, simply pulled him to sit in the teahouse and talk homely: "What are you doing now?" ”

Lu Xiaobei himself has a good appearance, when he met Du Jinning when he was growing his body, he was able to eat enough and follow up with nutrition, and he grew into a tall and thoughtful appearance before he got married, otherwise Chen and Du Jinning would not have been able to fall in love with him back then.

Today's Lu Xiaobei is a tall man of 1.8 meters, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and two bright eyes. Because of his travels from south to north, his skin is slightly darker, but it is also more manly.

He sat there with a golden sword, and when he heard Xie's question, he was not the slightest cramped, and said with a slight smile: "The so-called peddler is what I am talking about." I sell the good things here in the capital, and then sell them to the capital from other places to make some difference. ”

Of course, he also bought a lot of fields and tea plantations in the capital, and even bought a lot of shops on the street. Even if you don't sell it around, you can stay at home and be a proper rich family. But I don't need to tell Xie about this.

When Xie Shi heard this, he couldn't help but be a little worried, and persuaded: "Although the prosperous world is peaceful, there are not many robbers who stop the road, but there are also them. If you go from south to north like this, it will be terrible if you encounter robbers. You have a rich family now, so it's better to live at home honestly, so don't go out and run away. I really can't bear to make a living, so I can send my stewards to go, but don't put yourself in danger. ”

As she spoke, she turned her head to Chen to seek approval: "Mother-in-law, did you say?" ”

Ordinary old people and women, as long as they have food to eat and live a decent life, do not want the men in their families to go out on adventures.

Originally, Chen also persuaded Lu Xiaobei in this way, and he was worried that Lu Xiaobei had three longs and two shorts, and Du Fangling's life was not easy.

It was Du Jinning who persuaded her.

At this time, Chen used Du Jinning's words to persuade her to excuse Lu Xiaobei: "A good man has ambitions in all directions. Xiaobei likes to go south and north, so it's up to him to go. If you are young, it is not good to live at home with an acre and a third of land, and you don't want to make progress. The road is not smooth, so bring a few more capable guards, and nothing big will happen. ”

Lu Xiaobei is very grateful to Chen in this regard.

He stood up and gave Chen a deep look: "Thank you for your understanding." Don't worry, I know that I don't live alone, for the sake of Ling'er and the child, I won't joke with my life, I go to a peaceful place. I don't go to places where there are a lot of robbers. ”

Serious mother-in-law said this, even if Xie didn't agree, he didn't say anything more.

However, Mrs. Fang is from a family, and she has been an official in other places with her husband for many years, so her knowledge is different, and she agrees with Chen's words.

She smiled: "Which family's future is not hard and hard?" Is it too peaceful to be an official? Unless he has been shrinking into the capital as a petty official, as long as he is released from abroad, he will inevitably suffer hardships. ”

As she spoke, she talked about some of the hardships and dangers when she was in the field.

Fang Shaohua's father is a poor man, he has been a foreign official for more than 20 years, and now he is still serving as the governor of your province.

As a widow, Xie raised his son alone, and now he is still doing business to support his son's education, and he also has a strong personality.

She also knew that her son wanted to let go of the foreign office, and she was also very much in favor of it. Now hearing what Mrs. Fang said, she hurriedly asked some details, and then nodded and said, "Mrs. Fang, you are right, if you want to have a future, it is really not good not to endure hardship." ”

She turned her head and said apologetically to Lu Xiaobei: "It's because I think it's wrong." It's still your mother-in-law and Mrs. Fang who are knowledgeable. ”
