Scholar’s Sweetheart - Chapter 410
The examination papers of the palace examination are read by the adults one by one, and then ten to twenty of the most excellent ones are selected. After he has finished reading the papers, he selects the top three from them, which are the imperial champion, the top one and Tanhua. After that, they are handed over to the officials to write the list and posted in the city the next day.
Before posting the list, the candidates will go to the hall of Supreme Harmony and wait for the ceremony officials to sing their names one by one and report their positions.
On this day, the Gongshi arrived in front of the hall wearing the uniform issued by the imperial court. The civil and military officials in the court uniform had already been in place. They stood on both sides of the hall according to their official positions and titles. Because they had no official positions, they stood behind the lowest official positions and waited to be summoned.
At that time, the music sounded. After the emperor sat down in place, the ceremony officials sang the ceremony. All the officials knelt down and the Gongshi also knelt down. After three kneels and nine worships, the people got up and the ceremony officials began to sing their names.
“In the spring of the 15th year of Baofeng, he planned to test the world’s Gongshi. The first one was granted Jinshi, the second one was granted Jinshi’s family background, and the third one was granted Jinshi’s family background.”
Then, roll over the list.
“First name, Lu Yunkai.”
“First name, Lu Yunkai.”
“First name, Lu Yunkai.”
The first three singers sang their names three times at a time, and their voices resounded over the hall and into the ears of the public.
Immediately after that, a ceremony official led Lu Yun to come forward and enter the main hall to kneel down.
After he knelt down, the official continued to sing the first, second and third.
The second and the third ranked Tan Hua were also led to the palace, kneeling in a position slightly inferior to Lu Yun’s.
After the three knelt down, the ceremony officer continued to sing the ranking of the top two and the top three. Fortunately, the ranking only needs to be sung once, and there is no need to kneel down and salute alone, so the speed is very fast.
After singing, the music will ring again, and all the Jinshi will kneel down and kowtow to thank the emperor.
After the ceremony, the emperor and others left. The officials of the Ministry of rites held the Yellow list and went out of the palace. They posted it on the wall paper of the downtown center outside the palace wall, beating gongs and firing guns to attract people to view the list.
As soon as the Jinshi arrived, they followed. The top three wore red flowers on their chests and marched on horseback. The rest walked behind.
When you are on the street, the most attractive ones are the number one scholar, the top ranking scholar and Tanhua who are riding on horseback. The high-ranking girls, the ladies of big families or the girls of small families are hiding in the teahouse or standing in the roadside crowd, secretly looking at the number three scholar, their faces are coy and their hearts are in full bloom.
Song Xintong and Da Ya, holding Nuan Nuan, stand in the crowded crowd on the roadside, watching Lu Yun go in the front. They are heroic, extraordinary and admirable.
“Daddy.” As soon as wennuan saw Lu Yunkai appear, she cried out, “it’s dad. Dad is riding a horse.”
“Well, dad is riding a horse.” Song Xintong looked at the landing clouds and could not close the corners of his mouth.
“The number one scholar is so handsome.”
“Tanhua is also handsome.”
At the top of the list was a man in his thirties with a small beard, who was directly ignored by these girls who looked at the beauty.
“Although there is a scar on the number one scholar’s face, it is more impressive.”
“That’s it, that’s it.”
“I don’t know if the number one scholar Lang and tanhualang got married.”
“So young, certainly not.”
“Ah, number one scholar Lang looks over here. Is he looking at me…”
“I’m more beautiful. I must be looking at me.”
Song Xintong looked at the girls around him and said, “you’ve been dead for a long time. His daughter is more than two years old.”.
“It’s my father.” Said the warm air.
The girls next to him looked at the approaching number one scholar with a coy face, “number one scholar is coming towards us, coming towards us…”
“I’ll throw him a handkerchief.”
“I gave him my purse hairpin…”
Song Xintong jealously took a look at Lu Yunkai, who was riding towards the edge of the road. He was attracting bees and butterflies!
Lu Yunkai looked at his wife’s angry look, and watched the girls next to him scream and throw their handkerchief and purse at him. He couldn’t help but smile. He reached out and hugged wennuan and sat down on the horse. Then he said to song Xintong, “wait for me at home.”
“Ah, ah…” wennuan sat on the horse and cried excitedly, “Dad.”
“Well, dad will show you around the street.” Lu Yunkai smiles and goes on.
“Ah? Is the number one scholar married
“Number one scholar Lang even has his daughter…”
A group of women heartbroken unceasingly, all envious looking at Song Xintong, fundus many envy.
Song Xintong complacent smile, and Daya said: “go home, wait for Xianggong they go home.”
In the middle of the afternoon, Lu Yunkai went home with wennuan in her arms. Her daughter’s giggling and pleasant laughter were endless. As soon as she heard it, she knew that she must have had a good time today.
“Congratulations to my husband.” Song Xintong let the boy set off a string of firecrackers, in order to wish Lu Yunkai, “congratulations to the champion.”
“Thank you, madam.” Lu Yunkai put Nuan Nuan down and walked into the room with song Xintong, “does he disturb you today?”
“No Song Xintong moved his nose and smelled the fragrance of Yunkai’s body. “Go and change your clothes. Where is the smell of rouge fragrance all over
“Where can I go without you?” Lu Yunkai raised his hand and smelled it. It was really a smell of powder. He frowned slightly, “then I’ll change it.”
Song Xintong took wennuan and smelled, “how can wennuan not be found on his body?”
Li Quan, a little fellow beside him, said: “madam, after the master holds the young lady up, there will be no girl throwing sachets to the master.”
Li Quan is the nephew of master Daya. He is 17 years old. He learned martial arts with master Daya before. His kung fu is good and he is smart. So he came to work as a follower for Lu Yunkai.
Song Xintong a listen, happy, holding warm said: “warm really fierce, Niang today reward you to eat a piece of sugar.”
Although wennuan didn’t know why, she was very happy when she had sugar to eat. “Niang, she said,” pull the hook. ”
“Hook.” Song Xintong and her Labrador.
After Lu Yunkai changed his clean clothes and came out, a family of three sat around a small table to eat. Song Xintong didn’t have a good appetite. He just ate a little pickled cabbage and vermicelli soup. “Xianggong, now that you’ve won the first place, can you directly become an official in the court?”
“Yes.” Lu Yunkai nodded his head. The number one scholar, the top ranking scholar and Tanhua of the first class were directly appointed to the Imperial Academy after the release of the list. The rest of the second class and the third class needed to be selected by the imperial examination, and the excellent ones were selected to be the Imperial Academy.
To be a good scholar is not to be admitted to the Imperial Academy. We need to study and assess. Only those who are qualified can stay in the Imperial Academy to teach officials.
Those who failed to become ordinary and auspicious people moved around and tried to be a county magistrate. They went to rich or poor places, depending on the means of interpersonal communication.
Hearing Lu Yunkai say so, song Xintong’s heart completely settled down, “when will he take office?”
