Volume 2, Chapter 267: Number One Scholar
The term "Throwing Fruit Ying Cars" shows that fans in ancient times were also crazy.
In fact, more women threw flowers, handkerchiefs, purses, jade pendants and other objects. The one who threw the fruit was probably the aunt who bought the fruit, and they followed suit.
Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "You have to be careful. If you get hit by grapefruit or durian, you will be in trouble."
Mrs. Qian stood up, swayed for a while, patted the table and said, "We also have to prepare flowers! Lots and lots of flowers! Throw them all to my fourth son when the time comes!"
Ling Yue and Wu Lang clapped their hands: "Yes! We are also preparing flowers! We can't let others compete!"
Rong Chuan smiled and said: "I reserved the best seat on the second floor of the teahouse by the window, and someone will pick you up when the time comes."
Shangguan Ruoli also thought about booking a room, but he thought that he could only watch from a high position for a while in the private room. It would be better to watch from the street and follow the procession.
Only then did Mrs. Qian realize that to see Tianguan Kuai Street, you had to have a good position, so she thought she would just stand on the roadside and take a look.
He grabbed Rong Chuan's hand and patted it, "Thanks to you, I'm closer than my own grandson..."
"Mother!" Dongming Ziyu quickly interrupted the old lady and asked the emperor to be his grandson. Who do you want to take advantage of?
Mrs. Qian is usually very enthusiastic towards people, but today she drank a little too much, so she completely let herself go.
Old Man Dong was so frightened by the old lady that he broke into a cold sweat and quickly pulled her away, "Go to sleep! Go to sleep! Stop being so careless!"
Mrs. Qian refused to leave, "Si'er, put on your No. 1 Scholar uniform and let Mom take a good look!"
Dalang also said: "Fourth Uncle, let us take a closer look at the No. 1 Scholar's uniform."
Wulang also looked like a little fanboy and said: "I heard that the emperor will confer an official position tomorrow and the number one scholar uniform will be returned after the ceremony. Let's take a look today."
Dongming Ziyu was not a shy person. He went back to his room and changed into a bright red scholar uniform. There was also a gold and silver hairpin on his official hat.
Mrs. Qian was so drunk that she couldn't see enough with her eyes. She touched the No. 1 Scholar's uniform and smiled from ear to ear: "It's amazing! It's so pretty! My fourth son is so handsome! He's so beautiful.
!”
Her vocabulary was limited, but she turned over and over again to find out what she looked good at. She even asked Dalang and Wulang, "Is your fourth uncle handsome?"
Dalang simply said: "It looks good! It looks so good!"
Wu Lang covered his mouth and smiled, "Nai, this is my dad, he looks like a groom."
Everyone laughed and said that Dongming Ziyu was good-looking.
Even though Dongming Ziyu was thick-skinned, his face turned red when he was praised.
Everyone drank a lot, joked and laughed for a while, and then dispersed.
After returning to the room, Dongming Ziyu grabbed Shangguan Ruoli and asked, "Does your husband look good in this outfit?"
Shangguan Ruoli held his face and kissed him, "My husband is extremely handsome."
Dongming Ziyu asked again: "Does he look like the groom?"
Shangguan Ruoli laughed: "Like, like, like!"
Dongming Ziyu chuckled, "Then I will be the groom and official again tonight!"
I held my daughter-in-law down and started fooling around, but I was going to the palace before dawn tomorrow to thank the emperor for his kindness. I didn't ask for anything extravagantly. I asked for it once and then went to bed.
The process was cumbersome, and it was even earlier than the palace examination. You had to go into the palace and listen to the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette explain the ceremonial procedures, listen to the imperial edict to read out the rankings, and then leave the palace via the royal road, where the Heavenly Officials would praise you.
When I went out under the sun and stood on the Danqi in front of the Jinluan Palace, the sun had already appeared above the majestic palace, and it was as yellow and orange as a big egg yolk.
Dongming Ziyu looked at the sun in a trance. Thinking of his past and present life, it suddenly seemed like a dream.
The ceremonial officer stood on the royal road of Danchi and read loudly: "...the first one is awarded the rank of Jinshi, the second is the Jinshi background, and the third is the same Jinshi background. The first person in the first A is blessed..."
Dongming Ziyu was a little distracted and didn't respond to the first call. Who is Dong Youfu?
Fortunately, Yijia had to be read out three times. When he was called out for the second time, Dongming Ziyu quickly came to his senses, hurried to the imperial road, knelt down, and bowed five times and kowtowed three times to the Golden Palace...
Zhou Xuanyi's face looked a little ugly, and he thought to himself, is this country bumpkin stupidly happy?
Obviously, the number one scholar should be his! It was this bumpkin who won five yuan in a row, and the emperor gave him the number one prize for the auspicious omen of winning six yuan in a row!
Zhou Xuanyi heard the voice calling for second place again, and retracted his fists into his sleeves. He should be the second place pick if he wasn't the top pick. It was all because of his good looks that he became the third top pick. Now he really doesn't know what he looks like.
Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
When he heard his name being read, he quickly walked out and knelt down to listen to the order.
Next, the second and third graders all recite it again, and they don’t have to kneel down in front of the Jinluan Hall to express gratitude, so it’s much faster.
After the chief ceremonial officer sang the name, salutes were fired, bells and whistles were made, and the new scholars, together with all the civil and military officials, bowed five times and knelt three times to the emperor.
The chief ceremonial officer sang: "The ceremony is completed!"
Everyone stood up, and the deacon came down from Danqi holding the yellow list. The chief of ceremonies motioned for Dongming Ziyu to follow.
Dongming Ziyu took a deep breath, followed up, and walked slowly up the snow-white royal road.
The second-place finisher and Zhou Xuanyi followed one after another. Even though they had regrets in their hearts, they had studied hard for ten years and finally reached high school. This moment is also a glorious moment in life!
What will happen in the future is still unknown. It is difficult to say who will go fast and who will go far.
Countless people gathered outside the palace to watch the fun. It is a grand event every three years, and there are still many people watching.
Seeing someone coming out of the main entrance of the palace, someone immediately shouted: "Here it comes! Come out!"
"The new Jinshi is here!"
"Look! The leader is the champion who won six yuan in a row!"
"Oh, the champion is so young and handsome!"
Most of the people who came to watch the fun came to see Tan Hwa Rong, after all, Tan Hwa Rang was the most handsome, and they took the opportunity to pay their respects to the No. 1 and No. 2 picks.
This time, to everyone's surprise, the person who walked out of the palace gate first today turned out to be a handsome young man with extraordinary handsomeness and great momentum, which overshadowed the others.
The onlookers opened their mouths in surprise, wondering if this year's top pick is too young and handsome? Much more handsome than the top pick!
"The number one pick is so young and handsome!"
"What's going on in Jinke? The top pick is younger and more handsome than the top pick?"
"He's handsome even if he's the top pick! He's just a little bit worse than the number one pick."
Zhou Xuanyi listened to everyone's discussion, smiling calmly, but his eyes were covered with a layer of haze, it was really a bad year!
The new scholars got on their horses at the gate of the palace. The horses were all trained, and the imperial guards were there to lead the horses. It was the highlight of the day to be able to let the imperial guards lead the horses and knock them off the pedals.
The procession walked through the square in front of the palace gate and headed towards Zhuque Street, the central axis of the capital. After leaving the palace entrance, the onlookers let go and cheered, throwing flowers, handkerchiefs, purses and other objects towards the procession.
