Volume 2, Chapter 223: Autumn
It is dark, light yellow, soft in nature, and only the fragrance remains. There is no need for light blue and deep red, it is naturally the best among flowers.
Osmanthus flowers are small, but bright in color and fragrant in fragrance.
Wulang cut a few branches of the best blooming osmanthus from the osmanthus tree in the yard and put them in a vase in the house, which means toad palace to win laurels.
He even clasped his little hands in a decent manner and muttered, "I wish daddy success in his scientific examination and victory in the Toad Palace!"
Shangguan Ruoli came in with a large plate of crabs and a plate of fried chrysanthemums. He placed the plates on the dining table and said with a smile: "Wu Lang, wash your hands and get ready to eat."
Ling Yue came in with a plate of sweet and sour fish and said with a smile: "Wu Lang is really persistent. He folds a bouquet of osmanthus flowers and puts them in a vase every day."
Wulang's little face was a little shy, "This is my psychological sustenance to help my luck."
Mint, Lilac and Mrs. Fan came in with braised pork, cumin mutton and moon cakes, and placed the meals on the table.
"Bang bang bang!" There was a knock on the door from outside.
Mint hurriedly ran to open the door, and ran back after a while, her face flushed, "Madam, there is a visitor named Rong Chuan."
Wulang cheered happily, jumped down from the chair, and ran out the door, "Brother Rongchuan, brother Rongchuan is here!"
Ling Yue also welcomed him out happily, "Why is brother Rongchuan here today?"
The whole family should have a reunion dinner together during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Why did he come to Fengcheng?
Shangguan Ruoli followed the two of them out and said to Mrs. Fan, Ding Xiang and Bo Min: "This is the Crown Prince's second son, His Royal Highness."
The three of them were shocked. They didn't expect that the master's family knew such a noble man. They knelt down and saluted in panic: "Greetings to the Second Young Master!"
Wu Lang introduced Rong Chuan enthusiastically: "These are the new servants in the family, Mrs. Fan, Lilac and Mint."
Rong Chuan held his hand and said to the three of them: "No courtesy."
Shangguan Ruoli and Ling Yue tried to salute, but Rong Chuan raised his hand to stop them, "We are all our own people. If they are so polite, I will not dare to come here again."
Shangguan Ruoli knew that Rong Chuan would not let her salute him, but he could not take it for granted, no matter what.
Rong Chuan smiled and said, "I came here in a hurry, do you have any food for me?"
Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "You can eat as much as you want. It's common food, so don't dislike it."
"I just like the food cooked by my aunt." Rong Chuan said and walked into the house. He felt that Shangguan Ruoli was polite to him because he didn't come much. It would be much better when he got to the capital.
The guards ordered a table at the restaurant, and the courtyard became lively.
Wulang pointed to several kinds of mooncakes on the plate and said, "Brother Rongchuan, try it. These are all made by my mother."
Rong Chuan smiled and said: "I heard that the really delicious snack shop in Beijing gave me a Boxing Day gift. I was out running errands and didn't taste it. Today is the right day to eat moon cakes, so it's just right."
Shangguan Ruoli cut the mooncakes into small pieces with a knife, "Some mooncakes are delicious right after they come out of the pan, and some are delicious after the oil has returned. This is when the mooncakes taste the best. Try it."
Ling Yue reminded: "Don't be so full that you won't be able to eat anymore."
"Okay!" Rong Chuan glanced at her with his dark and bright eyes, and tasted a piece of ham first, savoring it carefully.
He is already fourteen years old, his voice has changed, and his handsome face has become angular. He has grown into a slender and handsome young man, and his brows have the calmness and calmness typical of those in power.
He wore a scarlet brocade narrow-sleeved robe with black edges, and a black double-dragon bead-embroidered jade belt around his waist. His thick black hair was usually tied with a gold crown, and half of it was spread smoothly on his back.
Ling Yue is eleven years old, has already had her strips, and has grown into a slim and beautiful girl. She has willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, with the corners of her eyes slightly raised. She is quiet and has a kind of heroic spirit. These two opposite temperaments merge together to form a unique
charm.
The corners of Rong Chuan's lips raised high, only his uncle and aunt could educate such an outstanding child.
Shangguan Ruoli picked up the crab and said, "Eat the crab, it's very fresh and tender."
This crab is raised in the space lotus pond and is more delicious than the crabs outside.
Rong Chuan ate three, "Indeed, these are the most delicious crabs I have ever eaten."
Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said: "Crabs are cold in nature, so you can't eat too much. There are still two baskets left, eat them slowly. How many days will you stay this time? I'll make some drunken crabs and pickled crabs for you to take with you on the way."
"
Rong Chuan smiled and said, "You don't need to bring it with you. Just make it and I'll eat it. When uncle's results come out, we'll go back to Beijing together."
Wulang said happily: "Great! I can play with brother Rongchuan for a while longer!"
Ling Yue stuffed the peeled crab meat into his mouth and said angrily: "I just know how to play. Learn painting, chess, and calligraphy from brother Rongchuan. His Six Arts of Gentleman are better than your husband."
Rong Chuan's face turned slightly red after being praised, "I can barely lead Wu Lang."
Wulang swallowed the crab meat and said, "Dad is good at the Six Arts of a Gentleman, but he just doesn't have time to teach me."
Dongming Ziyu takes time to teach Wulang every day. He is still young and has not yet achieved results. Besides, children have more contact with children who are better than themselves, which will help them make progress and raise their requirements for themselves.
It was already the last time for Dongming Ziyu. He came out of the examination room three days later. Although his clothes were wrinkled and his face was haggard, he was in good spirits.
He was also very happy to see Rong Chuan. While waiting for the results, he learned about Rong Chuan and Wu Lang's martial arts and homework. As for music, chess, calligraphy and painting, he felt that it was just a pastime to cultivate sentiment, and there was no need to put in a lot of effort.
The busy time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day when the results were released.
Dongming Ziyu did not go to see the list in person. Rong Chuan sent someone to guard the list early in the morning.
Shangguan Ruoli was a little nervous and asked Dongming Ziyu, "Are you nervous?"
Dongming Ziyu smiled lightly and said, "A little bit. If my grades are too bad, I will feel very embarrassed."
After all, he has been an emperor, so if his ranking is too low, there will be some psychological gap.
He knows best that ranking in the scientific examination can not only be determined by good knowledge, but also has many uncertain factors.
Of course Shangguan Ruoli hopes that he can get a good ranking, preferably Jieyuan, so that next year's Spring Festival will be basically fine, and he can register with the emperor in advance.
My family knew that the results would be released today, so they asked Higashi Arita to ride a horse early in the morning to see the results. He went directly to Gongyuan and squeezed in as hard as he could. There was a sea of people in front of Gongyuan.
