Chapter 168: The Imperial Street Boasting Official
When I arrived at the royal street, the atmosphere suddenly changed from solemn to lively, with gongs and drums and firecrackers.
Millions of people in Bianjing are vying to see the champion!
The wide streets are lined with people and thousands of people. Hundreds of people crowded and pushed each other, almost knocking down the fences on both sides, just to admire the demeanor of the new science and technology jinshi.
The upstairs along the street are also crowded with golden branches and jade leaves from famous families, and at this moment they seem to have forgotten the reserve of their daughter's family, and they have rolled up the bead curtains, leaned against the railing, and looked towards the royal street.
"The new science and technology jinshi patrols the streets!"
While sweeping the road, the officials sang in unison, carrying red and yellow flags and plaques such as "Lianzhong Liuyuan", "Champion and First" and walked in front.
After the huge guard of honor, the long-awaited new Kejinshi finally appeared.
The first is the new champion Wei Chen.
I saw Wei Chen wearing a yellow shirt and a green robe, wearing a square hanging soap veil on his head, and the purple tassels on the left and right hung down under his chin, making his clear and handsome face more and more heroic.
"Wow, what a handsome champion!"
Seeing Wei Chen wearing red hairpins and riding horses, the big girls and little daughters-in-law on the street were all excited, their faces were hot, and some people were so excited that they fainted on the spot.
Some girls were standing in a bad position, and they couldn't see Zhuangyuanlang's appearance clearly, so they could only ask anxiously in the back: "How is it compared to the little grandfather of the Qi family?" ”
What they are talking about is naturally Qi Heng, Qi Heng is a recognized beautiful man in Bianjing, and he has long been known as the first beautiful man in Bianjing, and many women from official eunuchs have secretly approved of him.
At that moment, a well-known lady said: "Little Grandpa Qi has a beautiful appearance, a graceful posture, and between looking forward to it, all kinds of feelings are piled up in the corners of his eyes, so those who see it are not pity." ”
And the champion Lang dragon chapter phoenix posture, the wind god is handsome, although not as weak as the crown, there is already a man's spirit, this is the sycamore in the people, can live in the phoenix. ”
This talented woman was originally expressing her opinions pertinently, but the female companion next to her said with a smile after listening to it: "According to what you say, Grandpa Qi is just good-looking, but Wei Zhuangyuan is both good-looking and easy to use, right?" ”
"I didn't say that." The talented girl immediately denied it with a red face, but she could obviously see that she was a little wrong.
"Anyway, if you want me to choose, I'll choose the champion." The female companion grinned and said, "Man, it's useless to just look good, you have to have real skills!" ”
"That's it."
The girls were talking about Zhuang Yuanlang with great interest, and they didn't care about the rest of the Jinshi in the back, so they just inquired about Wei Chen's origin, age, and origin.
Of course, what they are most concerned about is whether Wei Chen already has a family.
When they heard that Wei Chen was not yet married, everyone's eyes lit up, but at this time, another piece of news poured cold water on their heads.
"It is rumored that Zhuang Yuanlang and the daughter of the Sheng family have been childhood sweethearts since they were children, and their relationship is very good, maybe ......"
"Sheng family, which Sheng family?"
"The one in Jiying Lane."
"Huh? If I'm not mistaken, the head of the Sheng family is also a member of the Ministry of Works, right? ”
Hearing the scandal between the male god in his mind and other women, the girls' tones were inevitably a little sour.
Although they knew that Wei Chen would get married sooner or later, they still maintained their longing and expectations, it was really not good, and they had to be a family that matched him to convince them, and the Sheng family obviously did not meet the standards in their minds.
"I heard that the eldest son of the Sheng family has a good relationship with Zhuang Yuanlang, and Jinke is also in high school, and he is still the first in the second class."
"That's it......" The disdainful voice was a little quieter, but it still did not completely dissipate.
Even if there is a new science and technology scholar with the top two names, the level of the Sheng family is still too much worse than that of the real high-ranking eunuchs.
Seeing that everyone was a little depressed, a famous concubine said unconvinced: "It's just rumors, true or false, you can't count them, you don't need to care." Just look at it, when the time comes, it must be me who will marry the three books and six rites of the champion! ”
"Nonsense, Zhuangyuanlang is mine!"
"Okay, you little prodigal hoof, looking for a fight!"
"Haha, don't fight, look, Zhuangyuanlang is here, he's smiling at me!"
When Wei Chen rode a tall horse and hugged the downstairs of the street, the girls finally stopped playing and began to scream and cheer in a frenzy.
They raised their slender hands and threw the petals in the basket towards Wei Chen. The petals were blown by the wind, and they were sprinkled on the royal street, and under the baptism of the rain of flowers, Wei Chen was like a fairy descending to earth.
This is really, the past was filthy and not enough to boast, and now there is no end to debauchery. The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day!
This moment is the most glorious moment in the lives of most of the new science and technology scholars, and below the self-defense center, the three hundred new science and technology scholars all slow down their horses and enjoy this glory to the fullest.
The most eye-catching among the new science and technology jinshi is naturally the leading Sanding Jia, and the most eye-catching Sanding Jia, naturally is the champion Weichen.
When Wei Chen appeared together with the Fengpai of "Lianzhong Liuyuan", the excitement and excitement of the onlookers reached its peak directly.
Wei Chen, a young man from a humble family, became the champion of the new department, and he was even six yuan, which is simply the inspirational story that ordinary people like to see.
The people of Bianjing really regarded Wei Chen as the Wenqu Xingjun who descended to the earth, Wei Chen came all the way on the royal street, and even saw many people burning incense and worshipping themselves along the way.
Wei Chen couldn't help but feel ashamed, he was really just a mortal, and he was able to win six yuan in a row, but he still relied on a lot of luck.
From Xuande Gate to Qionglin Garden, less than ten miles away, a group of people walked for more than an hour, which shows how fast it is.
However, for these new scholars, they only feel that the ten miles of royal street are too short, and they will not be tired after another day's walk.
Until they dismounted in front of Qionglin Garden, everyone was still unsatisfied.
At this time, an official of Honglu Temple stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree to give a banquet to the new branch jinshi in Qionglin Yuan, and give the banquet money of 300,000!" ”
Wei Chen led the new science and technology scholar to thank him, and then slowly stepped into the royal garden in front of him.
But see in the Qionglin Garden, the pavilions and pavilions are scattered, and the top of each building is paved with dark green glazed tiles, which is not only full of ancient and elegant charm, but also has more indescribable dignity than the private gardens that Wei Chen saw in the south of the Yangtze River.
In the main hall of Qionglin Garden, there are five or six hundred seats, and Honglu Temple has already arranged the seats.
Among the officials who went to the banquet, Chairman Han Zhangju was the first assistant, and under him were the two scholars of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, and then there were the Hanlin, as well as the examiners during the palace examination.
As for the new science and technology jinshi, the champion Weichen has one seat, Li Zuochang, Tanhua Cai Xuan has one seat, and the rest are four people and one seat.
Wei Chen led a group of new science and technology scholars, and according to the etiquette that had been rehearsed in advance, they saluted, sat down, and served wine.
It is not until after the three rounds of serving wine that the whole ceremony is over, and you can relax a little and allow you to move around the banquet.
The dishes placed on the table, Wei Chen only moved slightly, this kind of banquet organized by the palace, in terms of delicacy, is not as good as the local Luming banquet held during the township test.
The Son of Heaven gave 300,000 banquet money, which sounds like a lot, and it is converted into silver, but in fact, it is only about 300 taels, and the average is not even half a tael of silver per table. The color of the dishes can be imagined.
