After the list of top two players was sung, everyone understood their achievements without hearing the names of Feng Sijin.
Everyone present was not surprised at all when they heard the eunuchs singing that the number one winner was Feng Sijin, the number two winner was Jiao Xiangdi, and Jing Yan was exploring flowers. It was completely within their expectation. It would be unreasonable for these three people not to win the first prize.
.
There was a roll call in the palace, and good news outside the palace was also posted. Anyone who pays attention to this matter knows that Feng Sijin is the first in this subject, and Jing Yan from Jiangnan is the third best. As for the second place?
I don’t know why, but the second-place finisher in every class is always ignored by people, and everyone’s attention is focused more on the top pick and third overall pick.
"Congratulations, congratulations to the number one scholar." Although Jing Yan said in front of Gu Qiancheng that he wanted to take the exam for the number one prize, in fact he didn't care much about the ranking and immediately congratulated Feng Sijin.
Feng Sijin also smiled and said: "Same joy, same joy. Brother Tanhua."
"Congratulations, second place brother."
…
A group of students saw that Feng Sijin and Jing Yan were easy to talk to, and some boldly stepped forward to congratulate them. Others followed suit, and Feng Sijin was suddenly surrounded by people.
Jiao Xiangdi was very happy today. Although he didn't get the first place in the exam, he was still not the third. Facing the crowd's cheers, he responded with a smile one by one.
"Congratulations to all three of you. Tomorrow Yijia will parade through the streets. Please come to the palace on time." The eunuch who called the roll congratulated everyone and reminded them that they will be busy next. "Three days later, everyone will come to the palace."
All the adults are going to attend the Qionglin Banquet. Please don’t forget, Chenshi, to go to the Ministry of Etiquette to learn court etiquette."
"Students know." Everyone responded loudly.
The title on the gold medal list, the night banquet in Qionglin, but their lifelong expectations, how could they forget it.
After the palace examination, all the candidates came out of the palace. Many people met to celebrate together, taking the opportunity to build relationships and support each other in the officialdom in the future. Among them, Feng Sijin and Jiao Xiangdi received the most invitations.
There is no way, among this batch of candidates, Feng Sijin and Jiao Xiangdi have the best backgrounds. They will have a smooth official career in the future. If they don't build a good relationship now, how can they wait until later?
For Jing Yan?
He is indeed talented, but in the officialdom, talent does not mean that you can go far. Every three years, there is a number one scholar, the third flower, but how many number one, the third flower can be the most popular minister?
No matter how capable Jing Yan is, without the support of his family, his future is limited.
Jiao Xiangdi knew that Feng Sijin had always disliked such invitations, and was waiting for Feng Sijin to refuse. He refused again, but he didn't want Feng Sijin to accept it uncharacteristically today.
Not only that, Feng Sijin turned his back on guests and said: "A new teahouse has opened in Guanzi Street. I invite you all to come and get together at the teahouse."
Feng Sijin opened his mouth. Except for a few special, special... aloof people who couldn't figure it out, most of the people agreed. Those who had not yet agreed looked at Jiao Xiangdi.
Feng Sijin saw Jiao Xiangdi in a daze and specially invited him: "Come with Xiangdi?"
Jiao Xiangdi wanted to say yes, but for some reason, the words turned into: "I won't go."
"Okay, let's go first." Feng Sijin nodded to Jiao Xiangdi and led a group of students towards Guanzi Street.
Leaving now?
Jiao Xiangdi was dumbfounded!
Bastard, can't you invite me again?
Jiao Xiangdi was so depressed that he almost vomited blood, but what if he was depressed again? Feng Sijin had already left, and he had just refused, so he could still come forward shamelessly?
Can't...
Many people gathered around Jiao Xiangdi. Seeing Jiao Xiangdi in a daze, someone suggested: "Mr. Jiao, let's find a place to gather as well?"
Jiao Xiangdi didn't want to go, but he thought that Feng Sijin already knew how to socialize with others, so there was no reason for him to fall behind. "Let's go to Yuqianlou."
On the highest viewing platform of the palace, Qin Jiyan stood there alone, looking into the distance quietly, not knowing what he was thinking...
A young eunuch hurried over, climbed up to the viewing platform, knelt down behind Qin Jiyan and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Feng has already taken people to Guanzi Street."
If you want to meditate on yourself, you will definitely pass by the medicine garden!
It was a pity that he had to stay in the palace to dine with the emperor and could not see the great drama that was about to take place outside the palace.
When Feng Sijin came out of the palace, he received a message from Qin Jiyan, asking him to find a way to take people to the medicine garden.
When he heard the word Yaoyuan, Feng Sijin understood what was going on. When someone invited him, he readily accepted.
A group of people came out of the palace and walked on the street in a mighty manner. It was not necessary to think about the identity of this group of people.
"Look, look, Jinke Jinshi has come out."
"The number one scholar in Jinke is Feng Sijin, which one is Feng Sijin?"
As soon as they came out, they were surrounded by people. Many people who were interested in watching the excitement followed them all the way. People on both sides of the street also talked a lot when they saw this group of people.
"He is a candidate for the imperial examination. I heard that the one in front is a young master."
"Master Feng is so handsome."
"Mr. Jing is not bad either. Mr. Jing is actually a prostitute."
"I heard that Mr. Feng and Mr. Jing are not married."
…
On the street, everyone was talking, but no one dared to come forward.
In the eyes of ordinary people, reading is a very sacred thing, and all scholars are worthy of respect, and the new Jinshi is an extremely important person. Not to mention coming forward, you can follow from a distance and have a glimpse of the elegance of the Jinshi master.
Already happy.
Although Feng Sijin always caused a sensation when he went out, this was the first time he was so ostentatious like today. However, Feng Sijin didn't feel awkward. On the contrary, he felt that the more ostentatious the better.
Soon, Feng Sijin and his party walked to Guanzi Street, getting closer and closer to the medicine garden.
Gu Qiancheng has been standing at the entrance of the medicine garden since the morning, and he has been standing for three hours. Although it is not windy or raining today, standing outside the house for three hours can be very tiring.
Although Gu Qiancheng said he was not in a sorry state at this time, his face was pale and his eyes were sunken, making him look very pitiful.
Behind her, there were many people watching the fun.
There is never a shortage of people watching the excitement in the capital. Although most people today focus on the imperial examination, for ordinary people in the city, the imperial examination is too far away from them, and trivial matters in the city can attract their attention more.
"I saw this girl standing here this morning, why is she still standing here now?"
"Did this girl make some mistake? She looks so pitiful."
Feng Sijin and his party walked over and saw a group of women and vendors surrounding Gu Qiancheng. They pointed at Gu Qiancheng and wondered what he was talking about.
Feng Sijin frowned slightly and winked at Jing Yan. Jing Yan immediately said knowingly: "Isn't that the medicine garden in front of you where the eldest lady of Yaowang Valley, Jun Yian, lives? Why are there so many people gathered? Could something have happened?"
When they heard about Yaoyuan and Yaowang Valley, everyone's first reaction was the doctor, and if anything happened at the doctor's door, it must be related to the execution of people. Someone immediately preconceived and said: "Something happened? Could it be that someone was killed?"
"Let's go and have a look." The newly-minted Jinshis each regard themselves as upright officials asking for orders from the people. When they hear the word "something happened", their first reaction is that there is an injustice, and there is no need for Feng Sijin and Jing Yan.
They all said, just come forward spontaneously...
Sure enough, the old Jinshi men who have not yet entered the officialdom are just simple...
