Chapter 282: Jin Ming Pond
The streets agitated, the forbidden city was opened, and the heavens explored people back. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info The phoenix title gold list came out of the clouds, and there was a thunder on the ground.
The warbler has moved, the dragon has turned into a car, and the city is full of cars and horses overnight. The gods and goddesses are clustered upstairs, vying to see the cranes soaring into the sky.
----- "Joyful Warbler"
In the afternoon, with the sound of rumbling drums, the Xuande Gate of the Imperial Palace slowly opened, and dozens of cavalry of the forbidden army galloped out with large banners, followed by more than 500 new branch jinshi on horseback.
Among them, the champion, Bangyan and Tanhua wore red robes, and the other Jinshi wore green robes, each wearing a gauze hat, a hairpin on the hat, a silk ribbon and a big red flower on the chest, riding a high-headed horse, all beaming, as the so-called: but remembering Jin Mingchi on the road, the red skirt competed to see the green man'.
The people who watched the list had already crowded on both sides of the royal street, scrambling to witness the demeanor of the new science and technology jinshi, and when the handsome and dashing young scholars came in streams, the people on both sides broke out into a deafening cheer.
The great glory made every scholar feel excited, and riding a horse to praise the street was the dream of every scholar, especially when they rode tall horses, wearing red robes and green robes, which caused thousands of young women to scream with excitement, and they were fantasizing that one of them would become their husband, that feeling made every new scholar a little fluttering.
Follow the interaction of the scholars, and a 'son-in-law car', the night before yesterday's arrest of the son-in-law has just kicked off, the large-scale capture of the son-in-law has only entered the climax today, this is also a piece of lace in the imperial examination of the Song Dynasty, was tacitly approved by the imperial court, in this atmosphere of high-ranking officials and magnates encircling and suppressing the golden beetle, the Song Dynasty will produce Chen Shimei, but it is by no means the only one.
High-ranking official A and powerful person B met on the road, and the two understood each other.
"My brother is also here to catch his son-in-law?"
"There's no way, the little girl has been waiting year after year, Fang Ling is already twenty, and if she doesn't catch a golden beetle son-in-law today, she is really going to be sad to death!"
"Me too! The imperial examination is held once every three years, and six years have passed since the two sessions, and my precious daughter has been crying all the time, shouting that she wants to marry into Shilang, and today I am also out of the way. β
"This year, Jinshi feels too old!"
"The new champion Wang Ang is twenty-nine years old, his sons are eleven years old, Wang Kai is Jiawang Zhao Kai, everyone understands in their hearts that he can't move, Tanhua Li Yanqing is the head of the bow horse competition, both civil and military, I heard that he is quite important, he is still sixteen or seventeen years old this year, but unfortunately he is a little younger."
"But he doesn't seem to be young! As the saying goes, a female junior holds gold bricks, and my daughter is just three years older than him......."
High-ranking official A and powerful person B glanced at each other, their eyes lit up at the same time, and high-ranking official A hurriedly said: "Don't fight with me, brother Xian, he belongs to me this year!" β
"Huh! It's not just you and me who want to fight for him! This depends on fate, who fights for whom. β
Li Yanqing never dreamed that he, the little Li Tanhua, had been targeted by countless powerful and high-ranking officials, and he was waiting to catch his son-in-law by the Jinming Pool.
The scholars went around the city for a week, received countless flowers and praises, and arrived at Jinmingchi out of the west city, located in the southwest direction of two imperial gardens, one is called Jinmingchi, the other is called Qionglin Garden, the team along the Jinming Pond all the way south to arrive at Qionglin Garden.
I saw hundreds of carriages or ox carts parked by the Jinming Pond, next to each car were more than a dozen family members, one by one eager to try, now they didn't dare to do it, and when the royal banquet was over, when the jinshi returned to the city, it was a good time for them to start catching their sons-in-law.
Zhao Kai pointed to the carriage in the distance with a horsewhip and smiled at Li Yanqing: "It is estimated that the virtuous brother is their key target, so you should be careful when you go back." β
"I don't believe they can catch me?"
"Huh! This is not a problem that martial arts can solve, there are stumbling ropes and fishing nets on it, you can dodge open guns, you can't dodge hidden arrows, you can dodge the east, you can't hide from the west. β
"What then?"
Zhao Kai smiled slightly, "If you really don't want to be caught, I can teach you a way." β
Li Yanqing hurriedly clenched his fists, "Brother Zhao, please speak!" β
"You pay attention to my father and Cai Xiangguo, as long as they leave one after another, especially Cai Xiangguo leaves, it is a signal to move, those high-ranking officials and magnates will rush into the banquet to catch their sons-in-law, at this time, don't covet the delicacies on the banquet, run away quickly, flee to the water!"
"Running off the water?" Li Yanqing was really surprised, it can be seen that Zhao Kai's appearance does not look like a joke.
Zhao Kai smiled, "Xinke Jinshi is the most sought-after golden beetle son-in-law in Bianjing, not only high-ranking officials and powerful people want to recruit him as a son-in-law, but also wealthy families with a slightly lower status, all want to borrow Jinshi to improve their family status, and those who can enter Qionglin Yuan to grab a son-in-law are at least high-ranking officials above the fourth grade, and those low-grade officials or wealthy families are waiting on the periphery!" Do you think that's all there are to do with these few hundred ox carts and wagons? You can escape the powerful and high-ranking officials, and you can't escape the wealthy families on the periphery, so every Qionglin banquet is a severe test for the Jinshi, either you are already married and refuse to abandon your poor wife, they can't help it, most of the Jinshi who are not married have a father-in-law at this time. β
"Does the court care?"
"People just want to marry their daughter to you, as long as both parties are willing to do so, how can the court care? If you refuse to live or die, can the other party force you to fail? It's just that at that time, many scholars couldn't resist the temptation and agreed! β
Speaking of this, Zhao Kai lowered his voice again and said: "Yanqing, you don't understand, many Jinshi are actually waiting for this moment, being admitted to Jinshi is not only to be an official, but also to climb a good father-in-law, otherwise why do you study hard for so many years?" You don't want to, but the vast majority of Jinshi do. β
Li Yanqing thought of Zhou Chun, Zhou Chun was not like this, he was indignant at the beginning of being arrested by his son-in-law, and then he couldn't stand the temptation to agree, speaking of which the Gao family's luck was not bad, Zhou Chun actually took the twentieth place in the middle hall exam, surpassing Wu Changbang and Yang Du of the same township.
Li Yanqing looked back at the other scholars, and saw that many people were looking at the carriages on both sides expectantly, it seems that Zhao Kai is right, these people also want to take this opportunity to find a harder backstage, nothing more than to value the reputation and family property of the future father-in-law.
Li Yanqing couldn't help but look at the lake in the distance, and he was really worried in his heart, escaping from the lake, could he swim and escape?
At this time, Li Yanqing glanced at Zhao Kai and immediately thought about it.
........
The Qionglin banquet is arranged on the shore of Jinchi Lake, the banquet is ready, the dishes are all kinds of delicacies, the wine is all kinds of Qiong syrup and jade liquid, jade glass cups, high-grade official kiln porcelain, gold spoons and silver spoons, ivory inlaid gold chopsticks, and a team of palace maids walk through the long table like butterflies.
The scholars were in place, but the Son of Heaven had not yet arrived, everyone had to endure the hunger in the stomach and wait patiently, for a while, only to hear a jade bell ringing, everyone got up, the Son of Heaven Zhao Ji came by boat surrounded by dozens of palace maids and eunuchs, he got off the boat, followed by more than a dozen high-ranking officials and ministers.
Under the guidance of Guanglu Siqing, Zhao Ji sat on the main seat, and the ministers behind him were also in place, at this time, Zhao Ji smiled and waved his hand, signaling the scholars to sit down.
He raised his glass and stood up, his voice was low and clear, and he said slowly: "Another Qionglin banquet has arrived, I have seen a new batch of national pillars, you have studied hard for ten years to have today's achievements, from today on, you are all protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven, are my protΓ©gΓ©s, and are about to go to all parts of the world to govern the country for me, love the people, I have only one expectation for you, that is, you are honest and self-disciplined, love the people like children, come!" For the sake of a wonderful night tonight, everyone drank this cup together! β
Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all, Zhao Ji just symbolically touched his lips with the wine glass, and then put it down, the bell rang, and the Qionglin banquet officially began.
The Jinshi began to eat and drink to their heart's content, Li Yanqing looked at Zhao Ji, the Son of Heaven, while drinking, only saw that he only said two words to Cai Jing next to him, and then got up and left on the boat, Cai Jing continued to feast on behalf of the Son of Heaven.
After another moment, even Cai Jing seemed to be about to get up, Li Yanqing had already seen that Cai Jing was about to leave, so he hurriedly whispered to Zhao Kai: "I'll go and make it convenient." β
Zhao Kai smiled slightly, "Go ahead!" Go ahead! Run for your life. β
Li Yanqing got up and walked in the direction of the latrine, and when he walked to the side, he asked a soldier, and the soldier took him to the latrine.
After a while, Li Yanqing was gone, only the soldier came back alone, but he stood behind Zhao Kai with a knife, Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment, turned around and said unhappily: "I don't need your guard, hurry up and leave!" β
The soldier smiled slightly, "Your Highness doesn't leave, how can I go?" β
"This voice ......"
Zhao Kai took a closer look, it turned out that this soldier in armor and helmet was actually dressed as Li Yanqing, he didn't know what to paint his face, but his skin was dark, and the sky was dark, so he couldn't recognize him at all if he didn't listen to the sound.
Zhao Kai couldn't help but be angry and funny, this guy was also smart, and he actually used Li Daitao's stiff strategy.
At this time, there were already officials walking down with wine glasses, chatting with the jinshi, and Wang Huang came to Li Yanqing's table with a wine glass, and saw that Li Yanqing was gone, he was stunned in his heart, and hurriedly asked Zhao Kai: "Your Highness, where is Li Tanhua?" β
Zhao Kai said with a smile: "Could it be that Wang Zhongcheng also has a daughter who wants to give Li Tanhua?" β
"My daughter is still young, but my niece is eighteen years old and has not yet married, I think she and Li Tanhualang are ...... talented."
Before he could finish speaking, General Youxiaowei, Pan Ji, the Duke of Jincheng County, ran over and asked urgently, "May I ask where Li Tanhua went?" β
Wang Hao was also anxious, "Li Tanhua was set by me first, how can Pan Gong insert a bar?" β
"Nonsense! This has to be decided by Li Tanhua herself, and it is not to buy fish and shrimp, there is no such thing as coming first and then coming. β
At this time, two more ministers came and asked, "Where is Li Tanhua going?" β
Zhao Kai pointed in the direction of the toilet and said with a smile: "He went to the convenience just now, maybe someone blocked it first!" β
Everyone was in a hurry, scrambling to run in the direction of the toilet, Zhao Kaixiang was standing behind him, Li Yanqing smiled, "How can you thank me?" β
Li Yanqing saw that more and more high-ranking officials and magnates began to enter Qionglin Yuan to catch his son-in-law, he was also a little anxious, and said in a low voice: "Let's get out of here quickly, and we'll talk about it later!" β
Zhao Kai smiled, got up and said, "Come with me!" β
Li Yanqing pretended to be a soldier and followed Zhao Kai closely with a knife, Zhao Kai came to the lake and walked straight onto a boat, which was a boat waiting for him, Li Yanqing also jumped up, and urged the boatman urgently, "Hurry up and start the boat!" β
At this time, the Qionglin banquet was already in chaos, and the young and handsome Jinshi was often scrambled by several officials, and even the champion Wang Ang was surrounded by several officials, persuading him to go home for a divorce.
Zhao Kai smiled slightly: "I can hide from the first day of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth, the minister of marriage proposal will break through the threshold in the past two days, I advise Yanqing to find a place to hide first." β
At this time, Li Yanqing's heart had flown to a place, a place he had been looking forward to for a long time.
