Yan Shiyue let out a cry and immediately dragged Qin Shiniang to the window.
In the distance, I saw a gong clearing the way, accompanied by a guard of honor. The three people were all wearing red robes and hairpins on their hats.
And whether they are Xu Wenqu, Tang Wanbi, or Tang Shirong, they are all beautiful men with fair complexions and delicate features. With their red robes and jade crowns, looking from a distance, they really look like peach and plum blossoms, gleaming and elegant.
pole.
This is so eye-catching!
Yan Shiyue couldn't bear to look away, and stretched out her hand desperately: "Huahuahua! Ding Xiaoyan is my flower!"
Weibo reluctantly handed over the flower basket, and Yan Shiyue grabbed it and threw it down.
Under the fiery atmosphere, screams and cheers were heard one after another, no less than the star-chasing scenes of later generations. Even the most reserved ladies could open up and have fun on this day.
Many people screamed: "The number one scholar is so handsome!"
"That's what Tanhua Lang is called handsome!"
"No. 2 is also very handsome!"
"I still like the number one scholar!"
There is a saying: "Thirty-year-old Ming Jing, fifty-year-old Jinshi", which means that it is very early to pass the Jinshi examination at the age of fifty. Therefore, it is common for old men with beards to parade on horseback, which is rare in modern science.
The top three were all handsome men, and everyone was so excited that their voices almost became hoarse.
Yan Shiyue felt naughty for a moment, coughed twice, and said in a rough voice: "The top three in this subject, does the Holy Master judge him based on his reputation?"
Everyone burst out laughing.
Many people looked in this direction, and when they saw it was two young ladies, they naturally thought it was someone else talking about it.
Only Xu Wenqu's horse was not far away. He had already heard her voice and looked up with a smile.
Yan Shiyue acted as if she didn't recognize him, and took the lead in cheering, screaming: "Ahhh! Xu Liuyuan!! Look at me, look at me, the number one scholar!!!"
She threw several flowers down one by one, so boldly that she almost threw the basket directly.
Look at you! You want people to look at you!
Xu Wenqu was thrown in the face by her. He couldn't open his eyes. He turned his face helplessly to avoid it. Then he raised his hand to pick up one, held it on his fingertips, lowered his head and smelled it with a smile. He looked at it very elegantly.
The crowd suddenly screamed again, almost breaking the roof.
In the commotion, only Tang Shirong looked at Qin Shiniang, nodded to her and smiled slightly.
The young man was wearing bright clothes and was full of energy, his face was as bright as jade, and he looked at her with very gentle eyes.
No matter how cheerful Qin Shiniang was, her cheeks were blushing. When everyone else's attention was on the champion, she threw a sachet downwards. Tang Shirong caught it in his hand and buried it in it.
In the sleeves.
Not many people saw this scene. After all, everyone was looking at the No. 1 Scholar, but Tang Wanbi glanced up and raised his eyebrows slightly.
When this group of people passed by, Yan Shiyue shouted so loud that his voice was starting to smoke. He sat down to drink water and asked with a smile: "Eleventh Mother, have you seen my brother?"
Qin Shiniang's face turned red and she whispered: "I saw it."
Yan Shiyue teased her with a smile: "Then why don't you throw flowers to him! I'm not bragging, my little brother is really the most handsome man in history..."
Qin Shiniang looked away and said, "I, I forgot."
Weibo looked at his master helplessly and thought to himself that he was bringing someone else with him, but you took the lead and made more noise than anyone else. He even gave him a sachet, and you still don't know anything!
In fact, it is certainly impossible for Yan Shiyue not to know.
She was making a fuss, but she wasn't so involved that she couldn't even see her little brother. She was just teasing her deliberately. Looking at Qin Shiniang's look, she knew that she was probably satisfied with her little brother.
After playing for a day, he sent her back. Yan Shiyue turned around and called Jia He over, whispering: "Pick two people and keep an eye on this Tang Wanbi."
Jiahe was puzzled: "Master? But what's wrong?"
"I can't tell clearly. Just keep an eye on him first and see what he usually does."
Jiahe responded and went.
Yan Shiyue was stimulated by the sour smell of love. When she got back, she wrote to Huo Qijing, describing in detail the grand occasion of the top three soldiers parading on horseback. She also said that you just wait, I will come to you soon!
After he finished writing, he handed it to Ding Xiaoyan to send out, and then he remembered to ask: "Has Ajing's letter not arrived yet?"
He wrote a standard letter every five days. Yesterday, no, it should have arrived the day before yesterday?
Ding Xiaoyan said: "Master, I didn't receive it!"
He was probably delayed somewhere on the way, so Yan Shiyue waved his hand and told him to go down without thinking too much.
Starting from the next day, several groups of official media came to visit, all coming to propose marriage to Xu Wenqu.
This year's top three are all good-looking, and none of them are married. But for aristocratic families, a new top scholar is nothing. They still have to go through qualifications to enter the Hanlin Academy. The most valuable one is Princess Fuyan.
The best choice was of course Tang Shirong, the "brother", but since Tang Shirong was already engaged, the next best choice was Xu Wenqu, who naturally became the favorite.
But Xu Wenqu lives in Fuyan Mansion and is a "teacher" rather than a family member. In fact, it is very inconvenient to come to propose marriage. But at this point, he doesn't care about the convenience and inconvenience. Xu Wenqu will ask for permission if he goes out again.
Since then, many people have thought of taking advantage by striking first.
Xu Wenqu, however, directly told Ding Xiaoyan that there was no need to ask them to come in.
Anyway, this is a princess's mansion, there is a distinction between superiority and inferiority, so we are not afraid of being rude.
At around noon, Yan Shirui came to see him and said with a straight-to-the-point smile: "Sir, there is a third wife in Ansuibo's house. She is the daughter of the second wife. It is said that she has an elegant temperament. Can I be a matchmaker with you, sir?"
Xu Wenqu smiled and said, "I have no such plan for the time being."
Yan Shirui said: "Sir, as he is getting older, it's time to start a family."
Xu Wenqu raised his eyes and looked at him: "What's the reason for what you said...?"
Yan Shirui couldn't help coughing, and then said after a while: "That day Yue'er came to ask Mr. Xu to write a 'letter to the students', I happened to be there and listened to a few words..."
Xu Wenqu raised his eyebrows and looked at him. He always had a gentle expression, but this sneer with a slanted eyebrow showed a bit of arrogance and arrogance.
He smiled lightly and said: "I dare to say that I will not avoid people. If you are suspicious of me because of this, you are looking down on me, Xu Qing!"
Yan Shirui told him that he was so ashamed that he bowed his head to the ground: "It's my fault, sir. Don't be offended."
"You also have a protective heart, I won't blame you." Xu Wenqu pondered for a moment: "When I return to my hometown to worship my ancestors, my mother will definitely plan this for me. Maybe I will return with my wife, and then I
Please help Yan Erlang find a place to live."
Yan Shirui lowered his head and responded: "It should be."
He paused for a moment and said, "It's just that I'm afraid that I will stay in the capital forever. In fact, it's better to find a wife in the capital. Although I have some selfish motives, this Ning Sanniang is really good."
Xu Wenqu thought for a while: "I'll think about it."
He said he was thinking about it, but he didn't give him a reply for a while.
Normally, the top three will be awarded the title immediately, the number one scholar will be awarded the Imperial Academy editor, the second best person will be awarded the Hanlin Academy editor.
The second and third grade Jinshi have to pass the imperial examination again in Baohe Hall. Based on the test scores before and after, the best ones will be selected to be admitted to the Hanlin Academy as Shujishi. This is commonly known as "Dian Hanlin". Only those who fail to be selected will be distributed to various ministries.
Serve as a director, or go to other places to serve as county magistrate.
But this time, only Tang Wanbi entered the Hanlin Academy according to the regulations, and Xu Wenqu was directly promoted to the imperial bachelor's degree. However, to everyone's surprise, but to his own expectations, Tang Shirong was released.
Become the magistrate of Longmen County.
With the word "imperial", Xu Wenqu became even more popular than before...
As for Tang Shirong, everything suddenly became anxious. (To be continued)
