Chapter 77: Praise for Officials
Early in the morning, before the sky is fully light, you have to go to the palace to get ready. Then first there is a roll call, then there is praise for the officials, and finally there is the Qionglin Banquet. This whole set will probably take a whole day.
.
The location for the roll-call of Chuanlu was chosen in the Jinluan Hall. After today’s morning dynasty ends, the roll-call of Chuanlu begins.
After the roll call was over, it was already noon.
What comes next is praise for officials.
In Dahua, this matter is only related to the top three first-class scholars, the top two, and the top three. The rest of the second-class and third-class scholars do not have this honor.
The eunuchs led Li Miao, Yang Hao, and Zhou Bowen to their respective rooms to change into corresponding clothes, and then walked out of the palace with the honor guard and headed to the busiest street in the capital, Suzaku Avenue.
Li Miao, who was wearing a black gauze hat with a big red flower on each side of his head, rode at the front. Yang Hao and Zhou Bowen also rode on the left and right sides of Li Miao, trailing a short distance behind Li Miao.
, the honor guard was beating gongs and drums, looking very lively.
The common people in the capital knew that today was the day when the number one scholar would parade on the street, so they came to both sides of Zhuque Avenue early, wanting to witness this grand event and get a taste of their talent.
"Coming! Coming!"
"This is the number one scholar! He is so young and good-looking. One look at his temperament and one can tell that he is the Wen Quxing. No wonder he became the number one scholar!"
"I heard that this No. 1 scholar is not married yet. It would be great if he could become my son-in-law!"
"Zhou Bapi, what are you dreaming about? With a girl like yours, how can the number one scholar like her? The number one scholar is destined to be paired with a beautiful young lady from a rich family."
"Hmph! The Number One Scholar is a scholar, how can he be such a superficial person like you, who only pays attention to the surface!"
"Let me tell you a secret: I know the number one scholar!"
"Really?"
"There is no lie in this kind of thing. I am the owner of Yuelai Inn, and the Number One Scholar has lived in our place for a long time!"
"..."
The appearance of the honor guard instantly ignited the atmosphere of the crowds on both sides of Suzaku Avenue. Almost all attention fell on the No. 1 pick. The second and third overall picks on the side seemed to have almost become foils.
This made Yang Hao, who was arrogant and arrogant, a little unbearable, and his smile was a little stiff. If he could walk away, he promised to leave without saying a word, and he would stay here for a little longer.
On the contrary, Zhou Bowen seemed to be completely unaffected, and his smile never changed from beginning to end.
Li Miao's smile was also a little stiff. Faced with the enthusiasm of the crowd, he couldn't keep a straight face, right? This smile lasted a long time and couldn't stop. He even doubted whether the muscles on his face could recover afterward?
p>
The team continues to move forward, there is still a long way to go before the end of the official praise.
Two rows of lofts appeared in front of me, and it was obvious that there were many young women standing in the corridor of the loft, looking towards the Yi Zhan team.
I don’t know why, seeing this, Li Miao suddenly had the idea of falling like a sheep into a wolf’s mouth.
"Huh?"
Tang Xianxian, who was in the corridor on the second floor of a certain attic, saw that the number one scholar was a familiar person, and couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise: "The number one scholar is actually this guy!"
She was finally released from the room by her father, who had a talk with her. After negotiation, her father agreed not to force her to get married.
Of course, as a condition, she must not have the idea of running away from home and wandering around in the world again.
Hearing the exclamation of her young lady, the maid on the side was also very surprised and said in disbelief: "Miss, do you know this champion man?"
Tang Xianxian looked at the maid unhappily: "What? Is it strange that I know him?"
The maid quickly denied it and said: "It's not strange, it's just the number one scholar. There is one in three years. With your ability, miss, it's not surprising at all to know one."
"That's natural."
Tang Xianxian raised her chin slightly.
On the other side of the attic, the long-awaited maid with a bun-faced face finally saw the guard of honor slowly approaching, and she was suddenly overjoyed. She danced with excitement and said to Zhe Xinyi beside her: "Miss, you
Look, look, it’s Mr. Li, Mr. Li is coming towards us!"
"Yeah."
Zhe Xinyi nodded slightly and looked at the honor guard with an indifferent expression. To be precise, it was Li Miao who was riding a horse in front.
The distance between the two became closer and closer. Suddenly, an embroidered shoe flew out from a certain attic, crossed a perfect parabola in the air, and landed in Li Miao's arms with perfect accuracy.
Looking in the direction of the embroidered shoes, she saw a young woman. One look at her makeup showed that she was from a wealthy family. The moment she made eye contact with Li Miao, she immediately covered her face in shyness.
Li Miao: "..."
Miss, where is your courage to throw away your embroidered shoes just now?
Immediately afterwards, like bamboo shoots after a rain, things flew out from the attic from time to time and hit Li Miao.
There are small red hydrangeas, delicate little purses, and...
Seeing this scene, the bun-faced maid was so angry that her breasts swelled, and she cursed: "These women are so shameless! They are so shameless!"
"Okay, why are you angry?"
Zhe Xinyi on the side comforted her, seemingly indifferent to the situation, but when she saw Li Miao quietly throwing away the embroidered shoes, the red hydrangea, the purse and other things as if nothing had happened, her mood changed.
I feel inexplicably relaxed.
"Master Li! Master Li!"
Finally approaching, the bun-faced maid couldn't wait to shout, and stood on tiptoes to wave, as if she was announcing something to those coquettish bitches.
Li Miao also discovered the pair of master and servant Zhe Xinyi and the bun-faced maid. After smiling and waving to them, he continued to move forward on his horse, and his figures gradually disappeared from their sight.
At the other end of the street, a group of children gathered together, clamoring to see the No. 1 Scholar. Among them, the little girl He Caier was also among them.
You can see the majestic appearance of the No. 1 Scholar from a distance, and all the children are envious and yearning for him.
In the future, I will also become the number one scholar and show off my power!
He Cai'er raised her chin proudly: "This is my big brother!"
"Big brother? He Caier, do you know the number one scholar?"
"Well, we know each other!"
He Caier nodded her little head heavily.
One child questioned: "I don't believe it. How could you know someone like Zhuangyuanlang? I've never seen you tell us before."
"Yes, He Caier, how could you possibly know the Number One Scholar? You must be lying!"
"He Cai'er is lying and a little liar."
"..."
"What I said is true, I'm not lying to you!"
Seeing that her friends didn’t believe in herself, the little girl was so anxious that she almost burst into tears.
"Cai'er, why are you here alone?"
A gentle voice rang in the little girl's ears, but when Li Miao saw the little girl, he found that she was alone and her mother was not beside her. She felt a little uneasy, so she rode over on horseback.
"Brother Sanshui!"
The little girl showed a bright smile.
"Let's go, brother Sanshui will take you home."
Li Miao bent down and took the little girl into his arms.
"Yeah."
The little girl nodded her little head obediently.
The leader of the honor guard opened his mouth, but in the end, no words came out.
Chapter completed!
