There are a total of 139 people who passed the imperial examination today, 54 of whom came from the same family, and 12 people who passed the examinations of various subjects, who all came from the same family.

Su You is the youngest, has a high ranking, is good at calligraphy and has a good personality. He always smiles with everyone he meets. He doesn't look like the second best, but more like a book boy.

Therefore, running errands and registering were inevitably his business. The advantage was that he became familiar among the new Jinshi.

Back at the office, Su You handed a stack of manuscripts to Chen Mu, the second-place finisher: "I'm exhausted. Brother Chen, this is the last batch."

The boy didn't call him Brother Nian either, but Chen Mu thought that was the right thing to do.

Chen Mu also came from a family of officials. His elder brother Chen Tong and Er Su were of the same age. They had a good relationship with each other. He said worriedly: "Mingrun, something is wrong with Marquis Kang."

The Marquis of Kang is Wang Junmin, the number one scholar. He often sits there these days, looking nervous.

Su You said: "No. 1 scholar, the best scholar in the world, there is a temporary difference in mentality. It would be the same if it were me. It will be fine in a few days."

Chen Mu shook his head and whispered: "You have been busy outside these days and you don't know anything. Yesterday, Marquis Kang shouted at a stone tablet in the courtyard. Many people saw it and couldn't hold it back. That way, that way

son……"

Su You was a little confused.

Chen Mu looked out the window and saw no one, so he whispered: "It seems like he has a mad disease."

Su You stood up and said, "Let me take a look."

After searching around, I found Wang Junmin beside a stone pavilion. When Wang Junmin saw Su You, his eyes were dull and he said, "Mingrun, are you here? Did you know that I got the top prize?"

Su You sat down and said, "Really? Congratulations to Brother Kanghou. The younger brother is not talented and has to get third place. After thinking about it, there should be something wrong with the poems."

Wang Junmin's eyes gradually became clearer: "There is something wrong with the poem. Do you remember the content? If you don't mind it, I might be able to point out what's wrong with you."

Seeing that there was a door open, Su You hurriedly handed over his hand: "That's great. Although I won't take the exam again in the future, we still exchange letters. If Brother Kanghou wants me to rhyme or something, it won't embarrass you too much, right?"

The two began to quote scriptures and discuss poetry, and Wang Junmin's spirit began to improve.

Su You finally smiled and said: "After listening to you for a while, Mao Sai suddenly opened his eyes. Poems are just a matter of return, lyrics are my specialty. I just happened to ask Qiong Lin for advice before the banquet, so as not to be embarrassed later, right?"

Wang Junmin laughed loudly: "If you can refine your poems, there will be no problem with the music. Just remember the four words 'ordinary and natural'. If it doesn't work, then you can only write "Huanxisha"."

Su You handed over his hand: "I didn't say anything. I will ask for advice every day from now on. Come on, brother Kanghou, let's see what delicious food is brought today."

Everyone in the courtyard was a little afraid of Wang Junmin. Su You was sure that Wang Junmin had a problem, but he had to deal with the situation no matter what.

So I kept Wang Junmin busy every day and distracted him by rambling on.

Fortunately, as soon as we talked about poetry and poetry, Wang Junmin became relaxed and happy, and returned to normal after a few days.

Within two days, Shuai Si dispatched personnel from the sixth bureau to appease Si Guan and borrow silverware and other items. He also dispatched prostitutes to have fun, and decorated the Jinming Pond with colorful decorations. Today is the Qionglin Banquet.

The new scholars wore new official robes, and Su You was responsible for putting gold flowers in the hats of each new scholar.

This is the origin of "Tanhua".

Fortunately, Su You finally breathed a sigh of relief because he didn't meet Wang Anshi and Sima Guang who would not accept Dai Hua.

Riding on a big horse, with golden flowers on their heads, and loud gongs and drums, they headed westward from the most prosperous Jinhua Gate in Tokyo.

The parade and celebration began, and today all the new Jinshi went out together, and the event reached its climax.

The wealthy people and ordinary people around were all inexplicably excited. You squeezed me and I squeezed you. From time to time, bursts of cheers erupted from the crowd.

The subordinate officials in Kaifeng Prefecture were all sweating on their foreheads, holding water and fire sticks to maintain order, and they were still being squeezed around by the enthusiastic citizens.

The team passed through the city and came out of Yiqiu Gate.

Zhang Zao and Zhang Qi were riding on the courtyard wall, while Su Xiaomei was behind the wall, with her head exposed.

Sansu's family stood at the door, Wang Fu hugged Su Mai, and Twenty-seven Niang hugged Su Chi, all smiling.

When a guard of honor appeared at the intersection, Zhang Zao turned to the yard and shouted: "Qidi, if you don't come out again, you won't be able to see him again!"

Zhang Qi pulled Zhang Zao: "Come, come! The young master is here!"

Qidi Longshan ran over and came to Zhang Qi's side. He almost pushed Zhang Qi off the wall: "Where is it? Where is it? I'm going to get some extravagant decorations!"

This kid has a talent for languages, and soon he can even speak Bianjing dialect.

The people in this area are very familiar with Suyou. This child has learned the hobbies of the Bianjing people. He will carry a glass tea jar with him when he has nothing to do. It is a good item at first sight.

He inquired about the affairs of the East and the West, commented on current affairs, and was quite like the people of the capital. He also followed the local customs and served tea and gave gifts to everyone. The Su family's eight-treasure porridge was delicious, and he taught everyone how to play chess. He was especially popular with the old man.

Today, the old men were so excited that they could catch a fly with their wrinkled smiles: "I have also played chess with Wen Quxing Tan Hualang! And even let him have a rook and a horse! Who will believe this if I tell it?!"

The old man next to him laughed at him: "That's Tanhua Lang's respect for the elderly. Do you really think he can't beat you? I'm just making you happy!"

The old man was even happier: "I was so anxious that I couldn't win the game, and I regretted it! It was just like the real thing! I can tell my children and grandchildren about this incident for the rest of my life! I even drank Tanhualang's tea! It was a first-class top grade...

"

"Don't come here! It's the first time you saw someone brewing loose tea, and you looked disgusted..."

"Don't make trouble! Is the Queton tea that Tanhua Lang brought from Shuzhong comparable to the loose tea that Qiancuo drank at Bianjing Wharf? Come on, come on... Su Xiao Tanhua, we are here! Hey, he gave us away.

Already..."

Su You's popularity even surpassed that of the two people in front of him. For no other reason than the legacy of the Zhenzong Dynasty was still lingering, and child prodigy was not limited to officials.

The fourteen-year-old third overall pick is much more powerful than the twenty-eight-year-old top pick, half the age!

Su You's face almost froze. There were far more people calling his name than those calling him number two, so he had no choice but to keep smiling and return the favor frequently to thank the people of Bianjing for their enthusiasm.

After finally getting to the gate of Jinmingchi, the gate was closed, the new scholars paid homage to the officials, and the Qionglin Banquet began.

Jinmingchi in early March is the most beautiful time when the scenery is the most beautiful. The peaches and plums are in full bloom, the waves are shimmering, and it's a perfect spring.

This is a gathering similar to a group worship event. Small groups of people who are friends with each other are of the same age, gathering around big guys from all walks of life, and showing off their talents diligently.

The officials were accompanied by their attendants and ministers, and they walked around at will, chatting among the crowds here and there, making them seem quite friendly to the people.

Oh, no, the people here are not citizens, they are all officials, the group of people who rule the world together with the royal family.

Su You didn't have many acquaintances among the officials, and one of them had passed away. If you count the fingers, Old Zhao was the closest person to him in Beijing. Old Ouyang was not bad at first, but the Long Changqi incident has made both parties somewhat embarrassed now.

Alas, it would be nice if Lao Zhang was here...

While he and Chen Mu were dealing with the same year, they looked around and saw the official family coming this way.

Wang Anshi was the one who took the imperial examination in detail, and he was among them now. There was another one whom he had met at the wedding banquet, Han Qi, and the other Su You did not recognize him.

Zhao Zhen came over and said to the people around him: "Wang Qing is still very discerning and has promoted young talents."

Wang Anshi smiled bitterly in his heart, if I knew it was this kid, why would I bother so much?

In addition, he once gave advice to officials to demote Su You. He is an upright person, but now he is unwilling to accept this favor.
