Following him was Yin Jun, who was equally proud of himself.
Among the two, one picked Tanhua and the other got Chuanlu. In terms of fame in the imperial examination, they were already at the top level.
Who wouldn’t envy it?
The few old men who came out of the hall together and were born with the same Jinshi background were in a good mood. However, when they saw the black hair of these two people, their teeth became sour for no reason.
You have to endure the acidity.
Since we are future colleagues, we need to build a good relationship with them.
Therefore, all the old men put down their arrogance and took the initiative to chat with Qi and Yin.
Um?
They are actually from the same hometown?
Is that remote Yongchuan Mansion really so full of outstanding people?
That should be the case. Isn't there a saying that says, if the soil and water support the people, then talents will emerge in large numbers!
Looking at it this way, is my "late blooming" a result of poor soil and water conditions?
It should be!
Facts speak louder than words!
The feeling of sore teeth was relieved a little when I thought that I was affected by the soil and water, rather than a lack of ability.
…
After the people dispersed, the Jinshi went back to their homes.
At this time, Yin Jun stepped forward, stopped Qi Yu and said, "Village man, don't go home yet, there are still things to do!"
"What's up?"
Yin Jun looked around and then explained: "Just now, the internal supervisor named San De reminded me. He said that it is best to go to the household room to collect the Jinshi uniform. If you go late, you may snatch it.
Nothing fits."
Qi Yu asked curiously: "Why are you trying to rob it? Could it be... that the Ministry of Revenue is not prepared enough?"
Yin Jun explained: "Those Xinke Jinshi uniforms were prepared a month ago, and they are definitely not tailor-made according to our body shape. Therefore, 70% to 80% of people will not fit them. Let's go early."
You can still pick and choose, but if you arrive late, you will have to pick up the leftovers.”
That’s it!
Although the Jinshi uniform is not an official uniform, it still has important commemorative significance. Wouldn't it be a pity if you can't wear one that fits you?
What’s more, you will have to participate in many ceremonial activities later on. If you can’t wear formal attire that fits you, wouldn’t it be a disgrace to your grace?
Heart of beauty in everyone.
Qi Yu is like this, and Yin Jun is even more like this.
Early bird gets the worm.
So, I need to quickly go to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Affairs.
When the envoy of the Ministry of Finance saw that Tanhua and Chuanlu had arrived, he quickly put on a kind face. In order to show that he valued it, he specially found a small rope and measured their measurements with his own hands before going
Tweezing matching attire.
It went very smoothly, and both of them received Jinshi uniforms that fit very well.
Does it look good?
not bad!
You see: a black hat like a black gauze hat, with soap gauze hanging belts on both sides, and a green leaf velvet hairpin. It is worn in a dark blue robe, with wide cuffs but not killing. A bronze medal is worn around the waist with the word 'Enrong' engraved on it.
Two characters. He wears leather and green shoes at his feet, and holds a locust wood wat in his hand.
Judging from the shape, although it is not an official uniform, it does look somewhat similar to an official uniform.
Especially, when I take this locust tree wat in my hand, wow, it feels really high-end.
After leaving the capital hall of Tobe, the two of them separated.
Yin Jun just took a few steps and suddenly turned back and said: "Well, see you tomorrow!"
Qi Yu was stunned: "Tomorrow?"
Oh, yes!
There is still something to do tomorrow!
And, there are quite a few!
Let's listen to the details.
After the announcement of the new scholarship list, the imperial court will, in accordance with traditional etiquette, order the Ministry of Rites, Guanglu Temple and Taipu Temple to coordinate with each other to hold an admission ceremony.
Namely: the parade in the golden palace, the parade on horseback, and the feast of grace and glory.
Let’s talk about the Golden Palace Ceremony first. There are no strict rules for this etiquette. It can be held together with the imperial conferment of merit or honors, or it can be held separately.
However, the emperor left in a hurry without even ordering the Imperial Academy. Naturally, the Jindian Chuanlu had to be handled separately.
In a sense, the Jindian Chuanlu is of the nature of "listening to the court". At that time, all the princes and ministers will line up on both sides and stand in the same court.
For those who were born with the same background as Jinshi, this Jindian biography is probably their only chance to listen to the imperial court in their lives, so they cherish it very much.
why?
Because, in the near future, they will go to another place to waste their time. If there is no special opportunity, they will never be able to enter the palace to meet the saint again in this life.
After that, there is a parade on horseback. Ahem, don’t get it wrong. The parade here does not allow you to throw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves. It is a publicity parade. Its purpose is to set an example.
To inspire scholars all over the world to work hard and make progress actively.
After ten years of hard work, no one asked, but the name on the gold medal list is known to the world.
This kind of opportunity to be worshiped is the only one on the way to the imperial examination, so all Jinshi cherish it very much.
As for the Feast of Grace, it is easier to understand. In layman's terms, it means that the emperor invites everyone to have a state banquet and drink wine to show that he is a friendly person and a courteous corporal. From a process point of view,
It is somewhat similar to the Luming Banquet after the rural examination, but the specifications are greatly improved.
These three etiquettes are the special treatment for new scholars and are extremely precious.
Of course you can’t ask for leave!
Qi Yu looked up at the sky and found that it was still early.
There is nothing to do when I go home anyway, so I might as well take this time to visit an old friend.
First, we went to Meng Jiming’s mansion.
what to do?
Thank you!
From my own point of view, I can be regarded as Mr. Wenzhu's registered disciple. Now that I have received the honor, how can I not thank my teacher? And from the perspective of results, I have won the third prize, which does not mean that I have insulted the honor of Mr. Wenzhu.
.
Never forget your mentor, this is a posture you need to take.
Is your husband not in Beijing now?
It doesn't matter, but the son can entertain on his father's behalf.
This time, Meng Jiming specially opened the front door and went out to greet him. He also said various auspicious words, such as success in the future and so on.
After greetings, the two of them served tea in the main hall.
After a while, Qi Yu started talking about the strange thing about the emperor leaving in a hurry today without ordering the ceremony.
Strange indeed.
However, Meng Jiming couldn't explain why, so he could only sigh: The holy will is unpredictable!
After that, they talked about the three major rituals that will be held tomorrow.
Meng Jiming was a person who had been here before, so he gave some words of advice and emphasized again and again not to be greedy for drinks during the dinner. If you get too drunk and lose your etiquette in front of the emperor, you will get into big trouble.
Qi Yu nodded repeatedly, indicating that he had taken note of it.
After leaving Meng's mansion, Qi Yu went to Luo Yuan's mansion.
Unfortunately, the concierge said that Mr. Luo was not here today and had gone on an outing with his old friends.
Outing?
What's the meaning?
Just now, I clearly saw Luo Yuan walking into the house with my own eyes, how could I say he was not at home?
Could it be that he did not see himself on purpose?
