Chapter 203: Shopping
On the other side, Jian Chao, who was dragged away by Yan Hao, has been calm since he said goodbye to Yang Tianmo.
Yan Hao was also in a complicated mood, and his mind kept thinking about Yang Tianmo's seemingly gentle but actually watertight attitude, as well as Li Xu's triumphant show-off, and for a while he couldn't help but think about the attitude of the emperor to the new science and technology scholars at the Qionglin banquet.
He is the eye of the example, sitting in the front, so he can see the emperor's expression, but he does not dare to look directly at the holy face, and although the whole banquet lasted for several hours, the emperor only appeared for a while at the beginning and the end, so this Qionglin banquet, until now, the impression of the current saint in his mind is only a vague outline, and the majesty of the Son of Heaven that people dare not look at directly.
As for the rest, he couldn't recall anything.
There are also those princes, they stayed longer than the emperor, and they didn't even sit in their places all the time, but walked around the banquet hall for a while, and talked to some new science and technology scholars, as for who they talked to and what they said, Yan Hao, who was excited and nervous at the time, and drank a few glasses of wine, Yan Hao, who was a little smoky, lost his impression.
He only remembered that the third prince, King Ping, gently discussed with him a few words of advice that he had written when he was trying, and praised it, but he didn't remember at all whether King Ping had spoken to anyone else.
"Why didn't you just let me go on?"
Yan Hao was thinking about his thoughts, and while boarding the carriage, his family was not in Ningdu City, he had been living in Jian's Mansion, and after the list was released, the people who came with his family began to look for a house in Ningdu City.
It's just that I haven't found a suitable house, which is either too expensive, or too biased, too dilapidated and too small.
So until now, he still lives in Jian's Mansion, and when he comes to the Qionglin banquet, he naturally takes the carriage of Jian's Mansion.
He had just boarded the car with one foot and the other foot on the stool when he heard Jian Chao's slightly angry voice.
Yan Hao stopped getting into the carriage, turned to look back at him, and asked, "If I don't stop you, will you continue to talk?"
Jian Chao was stunned for a moment, Yan Hao sighed, "Walking in front of the emperor, maybe it's just a rumor, even if the previous new science and technology scholars are first-class and three, they won't be put in front of the palace immediately, and if this is true, what can you do?" Who would pass up such a great opportunity? ”
What Yan Hao didn't say was that if Yang Tianmo came from a small place, he would be a scholar with average vision and knowledge, and he might be able to give up the opportunity to walk in front of the emperor with enough benefits, but Yang Maoshan's bearing and elegance are second to none among the three hundred new science and technology scholars, and such a person's will can be shaken by others at will.
Jian Chao sighed, "I'm sorry, I'm too anxious, it's just Yuefeng, you're still young, I don't understand what kind of mood I was in when I was admitted at this age, although I have to pass on, but I am not confused, you see those adults in the court, the official position is much higher than mine, but the age is younger than me, I have studied hard for 30 years, and now I am in the middle of the dynasty, it is a happy thing, but I can't stay in Ningdu, but I want to be outside, it's a pity, even if I am outside, it's not now, but three years later, it is the right time." ”
He analyzed his state of mind like this, Yan Hao was also a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he comforted: "The top ten of the second class have precedents for staying in Hanlin, even if they can't walk in front of the emperor, my cousin may be able to plan to stay in Hanlin."
Jian Chao glanced at Yan Hao, I don't know if he didn't understand what he meant, or if he deliberately pretended to be confused.
He snorted coldly in his heart and nodded, "What you said makes sense. ”
Geng Xingshuang, who was bored, couldn't see the book, and when she heard that Jinbao came in to report that Geng Shuhuai invited her to visit the night market, she put the book in her hand and stood up suddenly.
"Second brother is coming to me now? Is Sixth Brother Yang here? ”
Jin Bao shook his head, "The second young master didn't say anything, the second young master only asked the girl if she was willing to go out to the night market now, and if she didn't, he would go back." ”
"Go!"
Geng Xingshuang didn't let Jinbao go out to report again, and walked out directly.
Geng Shuhuai, who was waiting outside, saw her come out, and asked unwillingly: "It's so late, you still want to go out?"
Geng Xingshuang was speechless, "Didn't you call me?" ”
Geng Shuhuai: ...... I'm just putting on a show!
"Let's go ask the Seventh Sister, shall we? Li Xu is also here! ”
Geng Shuhuai said helplessly.
With Geng Shuhuai following, whether it is Geng Wen and Ruan, or Geng Yan and Jiang, they are all very relieved.
Outside the gate of Bofu, two carriages drove in the direction of the night market.
Yang Tianmo and Li Xu sat on the wheel, and the Geng family brothers and sisters sat in the car, and there was no one else in the carriage behind except for two coachmen.
Yang Tianmo and Li Xu glanced at each other, a little helpless.
Fortunately, he soon arrived at the night market, and after parking the carriage, Yang Tianmo naturally walked to Geng Xingshuang's side.
"Are you in the Yingjun Building on Xuanlang Street today?"
Geng Xingshuang looked at Yang Tianmo, he was also looking at her, his expression was gentle, smiling, handsome and extraordinary in the dim lights of the night market.
"You see?"
Yang Tianmo nodded, "Well, since the beginning of the departure, I have been paying attention to it, and I have made preparations, if you throw a purse or other things, I should be able to catch it." ”
Speaking of this, Geng Xingshuang was a little embarrassed.
"That...... I didn't throw it, either reluctantly, or ...... It's because ...... Because there were too many people throwing it, many of them fell directly to the ground, which was too wasteful! ”
This is more like reluctance.
Geng Xingshuang laughed angrily at her reaction, and Yang Tianmo was smiling at her, but there was a little understanding in this smile.
"Oh, I understand."
"Well, I'll admit, it's a bit reluctant."
Yang Tianmo smiled, "Stingy! ”
"I'll give you ten purses tomorrow!" Geng Xingshuang immediately said cheerfully: "This is not stingy, right?"
Anyway, there are a lot of purses in the Mingshang Pavilion.
"You embroidered it yourself?"
Geng Xingshuang: ......
"That...... How is today's Qionglin feast? Is there anything interesting going on? Geng Xingshuang immediately changed the subject.
Yang Tianmo was not entangled, and told her about the scene in the Qionglin banquet, and said: "During the banquet, there were emperors, princes and ministers, and everyone was not following the rules and did not dare to rush forward, but after the banquet, something happened."
"What's the matter?" Geng Xingshuang was curious.
After Yang Tianmo came out of Qionglin Yuan, he was stopped by Bangyan and Chuanyu, and they told Geng Xingshuang what he said.
"Then do you guess what the old man wants to say to you?"
Yang Tianmo said: "I didn't guess, but Li Xu guessed." Lord Li got the news and said that it was this year's new science and technology scholars, except for the three people on the first list, who went directly to the imperial front after entering the Hanlin Academy, and the rest of the people on the second and third lists, all of whom were appointed outside, according to the ranking of the list, from seven to nine grades. ”
"So that old man wants to swap things with you? Is there something wrong with his brain, or does he think you have a problem with your brain? ”
Geng Xingshuang was a little speechless.
Yang Tianmo said: "He has no problem with his brain, he just has the Jian family as a backer, but he doesn't know much about my situation, so he did such a thing, I think, he shouldn't have mentioned this matter to the Jian family."
