Chapter 339: The Palace Exam Begins the Day Before (Part 2)
The sun was three high, the sun was warm, and golden light shone on the world. Outside the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, a large sedan carried by four people stopped steadily outside the door. It had a silver top and a soap cover, and a large large sedan was embroidered with gold thread on the curtains of the sedan.
The word "strict".
Zhu Ping'an followed the steward out of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion and was shocked by the sedan at first sight. The sedan carried by these four people was a treatment that only third-rank officials could enjoy. He was alone and had no official position. Why did Yan Shifan send someone
Use this sedan to pick yourself up.
The frame-up wouldn't be so blatant, would it?! Someone as smart as Yan Shifan shouldn't be so mentally retarded, right?!
"Young Master, please get on the sedan chair. There will be a palace examination tomorrow. Our master is afraid that the young master will be tired and affect his performance, so he sent his sedan chair to pick up the young master." When the steward saw Zhu Ping'an's doubts, he immediately
He stepped forward to answer his questions, stood respectfully in front of the sedan, opened the curtain, and half-bowed to invite Zhu Ping'an to get on the sedan.
Soldiers came to block it, water came to cover it, and the soil came to cover it. After talking about this, Zhu Pingan was no longer polite. He had never sat in a sedan carried by four people.
So, Zhu Pingan bowed his hands and said thank you, then bent down and got on the sedan. After Zhu Pingan got on the sedan, the steward waved his hand, and then the four sturdy men standing on both sides of the sedan bent down to lift the sedan.
He got up and headed east steadily.
Zhu Ping'an sat in the sedan and took out the white jade hairpin from his sleeve. This white jade hairpin is a crown hairpin. In ancient times, people had to follow the local customs in clothes and hair styles. When wearing a crown, the hairpin should be fixed with a crown hairpin. This
Zhu Ping'an bought it when he accompanied Zhang Siwei and others when they visited the capital. This crown hairpin is made of silver inlaid with jade. The white jade is carved into a roaring tiger, which swallows a silver sign. The two are combined to form this crown hairpin.
At that time, there were also gold inlaid jade in the store. The main reason why Zhu Pingan bought this silver inlaid jade was because it was cheap.
When I wear this crown hairpin now, I value its silver sign. I always see in TV dramas and novels that the ancients used silverware to test poisons. Almost all types of poisons administered by the ancients can be tested with silverware.
At least most of them are. Yan Shifan's meal is definitely not a good one. If something happens to be poisoned, he doesn't dare to take the risk. Although Yan Shifan probably won't poison the banquet so blatantly, but if something happens,
What are the chronic poisons and strange poisons? Use silver to test the poison and be prepared.
The feeling of riding in a sedan chair is not good, it is bumpy up and down. It is more uncomfortable than riding a horse, and it is far less comfortable than modern means of transportation. The speed is not very fast either. They are all carried by people. How fast can it go? The ancients
There are probably two reasons why I like riding in a sedan chair. One is to save effort, and the other is probably the sense of privilege and superiority.
The journey seemed a bit long. I had been sitting in the sedan for about an hour and still hadn't reached my destination. Zhu Ping'an was bored sitting in the sedan. He reviewed the No. 1 Scholar strategy he had reviewed a few days ago in his mind over and over again, and focused on it.
Study the examination questions asked by the emperor at that time and the historical background at that time.
When Zhu Pingan himself tried to finish a strategy, the sedan finally stopped.
"Master Zhu, Zhuangyuan Tower has arrived." The steward's voice came from outside the sedan, reminding Zhu Ping'an that his destination had arrived.
"Thank you." After Zhu Pingan got off the sedan chair, he expressed his gratitude to the person carrying the sedan chair.
This is the Zhuangyuan Building. This is the first time Zhu Pingan has heard of this restaurant. He has never heard of it before. This Zhuangyuan Building is three stories high. The building is tall and majestic, a bit like a palace. It is made of brick, stone and wood.
It is built with jade railings and glazed tiles, and the fragrance of tea and wine blows in the wind. The Zhuangyuan Building does not have the air of a scholar, but has an air of luxury.
The Zhuangyuan Building was probably newly built and has no sense of history. I don’t know how this building dares to be called the Zhuangyuan Building!
The steward led the way and led Zhu Ping'an all the way into the Zhuangyuan Building.
"Congratulations to Mr. Zhu, and congratulations on your inscription on the gold medal list."
As soon as Zhu Ping'an entered the Zhuangyuan Building, he heard neat female voices, and then saw eight maids in splendid palace attire bending their knees and folding their skirts to salute him.
"Hahaha, Zihou is here. Come upstairs quickly. Brother Donglou has been waiting for a long time." A person came down the stairs and greeted Zhu Pingan.
By the way, didn't Luo Longwen grab himself and squirt at the last banquet? Why is he so enthusiastic now? It's so fake. He is smiling all over his face, as if he is very familiar with him.
Sure enough, today’s banquet is not a good one!
Zhu Ping'an was convinced of this from Luo Longwen's smiling face. If he could make a person who often looked at him unhappy smile to him, then today's banquet would definitely achieve the consequences that he would like to see. The consequences that he would like to see are nothing more than Ouyang Zishi High School
No. 1 Scholar, as for me, Zhu Ping'an, where can I stay cool?
Then
"Hehehe, hello Mr. Luo. I haven't seen you for a few days. It's like three autumns. For the past few days, Mr. Luo's voice and smile have been echoing in Ping An's mind. Mr. Luo welcomes Ping An from afar today. Ping An is extremely frightened."
Zhu Ping'an bowed his hands to Luo Longwen with a naive smile on his face. The smile on his face was several times brighter than Luo Longwen's smile, as if Luo Longwen was a relative he had not seen for many years. His words were also sincere and spoke from the bottom of his heart.
Then, the smile on Luo Longwen's face became a little stiff, and the smile on Zhu Pingan's face couldn't be more dazzling.
Sound and smile!
This is a way to describe remembering the deceased, okay! Did you do it on purpose or unintentionally, but looking at Zhu Pingan's sincere smile, Luo Longwen felt that Zhu Pingan's voice and smile were just a misuse of the word. That day
Zhu Ping'an's performance in the Yan Mansion was not that of a righteous and proud person, and his words and deeds seemed quite sensible. But, would the problem of using wrong words happen to Hui Yuan?
But for the sake of today's matter, he had to forget it. He didn't dare to ruin things in the east building. The smile on Luo Longwen's face returned to his face.
"See what Zihou said, hurry up and go upstairs. Today is a trial for you. You are the protagonist. Brother Donglou and the others have been waiting for a long time." Luo Longwen invited with a smile.
"Master Luo, please come first." Zhu Ping'an stood in front of the stairs, and held his hands towards Luo Longwen with a smile on his face, showing great respect to Luo Longwen.
"please"
"please"
The two exchanged courtesies again, and then Luo Longwen took the lead to go upstairs, followed by Zhu Ping'an.
"Hehehe, our Huiyuan Lang is here, hurry up and take your seat, and order us to serve wine and food." A one-eyed fat man sitting surrounded by people on the second floor of Zhuangyuan Building saw Zhu Pingan, stood up with a hearty smile, and greeted
Zhu Pingan took his seat and then ordered the restaurant to start serving food.
"Master Yan loves you so much, but Ping'an is so scared." Zhu Pingan came forward and apologized sincerely to Yan Shifan and everyone else, "Seniors, I have been tired of waiting for a long time. Ping'an is wrong."
In addition to Yan Shifan and Luo Longwen, there were five other people on the second floor of the Zhuangyuan Building. The Yan Mansion also had some impressions about the last time. It is not clear who they are, but I am sure that they are all members of the Yan Party. (To be continued.)
