Yao Anhong already has outstanding appearance, but after putting on the flower-dressing uniform, his face looks like rouge, his lips are red and his teeth are white, and his appearance is even better than that of Pan An.
He followed the No. 1 pick and the No. 2 pick honestly, almost stealing the limelight from them.
"Hey, that one who looks very young, isn't he Tanhualang?! Oh, my dear, you are so good-looking!"
"Of course, otherwise why would we call him Tanhualang? Which Tanhualang is not good-looking?"
"The one before was not as good-looking as this one..."
…
"Tanhualang, look here."
Someone shouted, and when Yao Anhong looked over, he dropped a sachet.
Poor Yao Anhong, who was inexperienced at first, turned his head unconsciously when someone shouted.
The one with good accuracy hit one right on target, the other with poor accuracy fell off as soon as it got close to the horse's head.
Yao Anhong was hit several times, and the sachet was no different than others. It also contained some herbs, spices, etc., which were slightly heavy. It was hit unexpectedly, and it still hurt a little.
Later, with experience, Yao Anhong pretended not to hear and secretly hid behind the top pick and the second pick.
The No. 1 pick is older than him, especially the No. 2 pick, he can be his father.
Seeing Yao Anhong like this, he was angry and funny: It was you who was hit, why was it me who was injured?
However, Wang Gu and Zeng Jiazhi are not fools if they are able to get the first prize or second place in the exam.
Although Tanhua stole the limelight from both of them, don't forget that she is young, has an official father, and her own grandmother remarried to Prince Chong's Mansion, tsk tsk tsk tsk...
Unless you are jealous and have lost your mind, anyone with a clear mind will know that this Tanhua Lang has a "blessed background".
They are in high school and can be said to be natural "allies". At this time, if you don't quickly build relationships, build friendships, and gain more connections for yourself, but instead go to "jealous" others and offend others, isn't that a fool?
Although Wang Gu was a bit arrogant and had a good background, he was not completely aloof from the world and was extremely polite to Yao Anhong.
Comparatively speaking, Zeng Jiazhi's background was poorer. Wang Gu at least had relatives who were officials, while Zeng Jiazhi's ancestor was a businessman. It took several generations to save Zeng Jiazhi an opportunity to take the "imperial examination".
Therefore, Zeng Jiazhi was even more cautious, fearing that he would offend the wrong people and let the efforts of several generations of the Zeng family go to waste.
For a person with a background like Yao Anhong, he is also extremely polite and considerate.
After the number one scholar parades, there is a banquet of deer roaring.
Just like the clothes worn during the parade, the clothes for the Luming Banquet were also specially made by the imperial court. They didn't need to worry about it, they could just get the clothes and put them on.
Of course, although the clothes are specially made, they are "made" in advance. Whether they fit or not depends on the individual. Therefore, there is a time difference between the time when the clothes are distributed and the time of the Deer Ming Banquet.
The clothes are distributed in advance, so that all the noble men who have just graduated from high school have time to "tailor-make" the clothes to make them fit better.
Yao Anhong doesn't need to worry about any of this. Whether it's Prince Chong's Mansion or Yao Mansion, there are experienced people handling it.
He just needs to wait patiently and adjust his mentality.
Gu Qingling told him that there was no need to be under too much pressure at the Luming Banquet. If he could do well, he would do well. If he couldn't, it would be fine. As long as there were no major mistakes, his place was already decided.
"I know that you have great ambitions and want to make a career, but you are still young and still have a lot to learn. Therefore, I have discussed with your uncle and others to let you stay in the Hanlin Academy for a while."
"For the other six divisions, Prince Chong will also find opportunities for you to practice. When you have gained enough experience, we will go out again when we have the opportunity."
…
Gu Qingling's words were serious and thoughtful, hoping that Yao Anhong could understand the intentions of his elders.
Yao Anhong nodded: "My grandson understands, and he thinks so too. My grandson grew up under the protection of his family and has not experienced too many storms. If he goes out in a hurry, I am afraid it will cause worries to all the elders. Why not first?"
Do something under the eyes of your elders. If you have made mistakes, you should correct them, but never encourage them. Only when your grandson is more mature can he go out and do something in his career, so as not to damage the reputation of the Yao family."
"As long as you understand, Prince Chong has a few words to tell you. I will ask you to take you to the study later. Don't be nervous, we are just talking to my family."
"Hey, my grandson listens to the princess."
…
After a while, Gu Qingling arranged for Yao Anhong to be sent to Li Wenchong's study.
What did Li Wenchong explain? He just asked Yao Anhong to tell Yao Anhong some of the rules at the Luming Banquet.
Although the imperial court had sent people to explain it before, the rules they explained were all on the surface. For some things that couldn't be explained in detail, everyone had to rely on their own abilities.
But people want to rely on their own abilities, and Yao Anhong won't let him go. Yao Anhong has inside information.
"I heard that you have a good relationship with the top pick and the second pick," Li Wenchong said. "When the time comes, you can go ahead and chat with them."
What can be discussed in "chat" at this time, naturally it is the Deer Ming Banquet.
Yao Anhong almost understood that Li Wenchong was giving him an opportunity to "create" kindness to others.
Also sent were background checks on Wang Gu and Zeng Jiazhi, so that Yao Anhong would not violate their taboos when dealing with them.
"I have also told you the taboos of several adults at the Luming Banquet. You can just pay attention to it when the time comes. You can read the rest slowly after the Luming Banquet is over." Li Wenchong said, "In court
As an official, before you have made convincing achievements, the most important thing you need to learn is not to offend others. Of course, if someone is ignorant and insists on bullying you, you don’t have to be afraid, God
If it collapses, I will hold you up."
Yao Anhong looked at the stack of background checks handed to him by Li Wenchong, feeling grateful in his heart.
Uncle Yao had also given it to him before, but the one given by Uncle Yao was definitely not as detailed as the one given by Li Wenchong.
After all, Uncle Yao is just an official in the court. No matter in terms of connections or power, he can't compete with Li Wenchong. Another point is that Gu Qingling only remarried to Li Wenchong, not the entire Yao family remarried to Li Wenchong. Li Wenchong didn't remarry at all.
There is no obligation to "serve" the Yao family.
Li Wenchong did this for Gu Qingling's sake, and because he really liked the Yao family and Yao Anhong.
The feelings are mutual. Li Wenchong is willing to take care of Yao Anhong, and Yao Anhong is naturally willing to regard Li Wenchong as a "relative" and an "elder", and respect him more and more.
Yao Anhong is not only smart, but also has a strong emotional intelligence. Coupled with Li Wenchong's reminder, he is like a fish in water at the Luming Banquet, making people feel like they are in the spring breeze without any discomfort.
Especially Zeng Jiazhi, I am very grateful.
Because if it hadn't been for Yao Anhong's reminder, he would have almost stumbled and offended someone at the Luming Banquet.
It turned out that when he came in, a classmate reminded him that a certain adult liked something very much, so that he could use this as a topic when talking to this adult to build a relationship.
This is not the case.
The lord's nemesis likes this thing. If you run up to him and mention this thing, wouldn't it... make waves on the ground and attract people's attention?
Zeng Jiazhi, who was eager to rise to the top, actually listened to the reminder from his classmates and prepared to "show off" at the Luming Banquet. However, before the Luming Banquet, he was "pressed" by Yao Anhong midway.
When Yao Anhong said that, Zeng Jiazhi didn't say anything, but his expression changed. He confirmed with Yao Anhong: "Yao Tanhua, are you... what you just said true?"
Yao Anhong smiled casually and said: "Of course it's true. I also overheard it when the elders in the family were chatting. But don't tell anyone about this. We just know it ourselves."
"Thank you!" Zeng Jiazhi saluted deeply.
Wang Gu felt a little weird when he saw it. Although he didn't know if the adult really hated this thing, but... the second place's reaction seemed like something was wrong?
The deer roaring banquet was approaching, and neither of them asked any further questions.
