Everyone bowed again and thanked the officials, and then began to put on their official robes. Anyway, the weather was still cold in March, so there was no need to change clothes. It didn't matter if you wore more clothes outside, it wasn't too hot; put on the Jinxian crown, crown
Put on the hairpin and the palace flower, and put on the official boots. The replaced boots can only be carried in one hand, and the other hand has to hold the wat board.
It looked so awkward. I don’t know how people felt at that time, but the man had a hairpin on his head and a few flowers. The more Wu Zhi thought about it, the more disgusting and awkward he felt. But as he followed the Romans, he could only harden.
I gritted my teeth and endured it.
Everyone wore hairpins on their heads and carried boots in their left hands and wats in their right hands. They were all like clowns, so funny that Wu Zhi himself couldn't laugh or cry.
Everyone no longer bothered to congratulate each other, and followed the servant who led the way out of Donghua Gate. After walking out of Donghua Gate, everyone found their servants or family members one after another and gave their boots to them for safekeeping. Those who did not have family members or servants could only
Throw it on the roadside. This is a benefit to the crowd watching the fun on the roadside. Everyone rushes to grab it. No matter they pick up a pair or just one, everyone is smiling and cherishing it. Just kidding, these are the boots of Mr. Jinshi. They take them home.
I have to offer it like a treasure. Maybe I can offer it to a Jinshi master in the future.
Wu Zhi and Pan Wei found Wang Er, who was smiling from ear to ear, waiting on the roadside, and handed the boots to him. Wang Er was particularly excited. The two people who spent time with him day and night were the Number One Scholar and the Jinshi.
Fifth place, how can he be unhappy because he has something to do with Rong? Moreover, the number one scholar is so kind to him and respects him so much, he feels like he is a superior person, and he has more face when he goes out.
After a little rectification, everyone came to Xuande Gate. Officials from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites held the imperial edict and sounded gongs to clear the way. Wu Zhi was in the front, He Changyan was in the middle, and Fang Tianruo was in the back. He wore a red flower on his chest, mounted a tall horse, and led the rest of the people.
The Jinshi Master walked on the royal road of the imperial city and accepted the congratulations from all the people on both sides of the royal road. This is called the royal street to praise the officials! Riding a horse is not difficult for Wu Zhi. Before his rebirth, he was an archaeological team member and could ride a horse.
It's just a small work requirement.
Wu Zhi, He Changyan, and Fang Tianruo rode past in front, and the others followed behind. He pretended to smile as if he was being looked at as a monkey, but everyone else's face was filled with glory and felt extremely honored.
Not everyone can walk on the royal road! On both sides of the royal road, the turbulent crowds bowed and saluted, cheered and screamed. Some beautiful girls and young women even winked at Wu Zhi and the others from time to time, calling for Wu Zhi.
With Zhi's name, he was the number one scholar under the age of nineteen, and he was handsome and talented. They were very attracted to him.
Slowly walking through the royal road in joy, Wu Zhi saw that he was quite popular. His unhappy heart finally regained some balance and became less awkward. He began to enjoy everything. He began to naturally greet the people on both sides of the royal road.
He waved his hands and waved his hands, causing people to cheer and scream.
After a long time, when we walked to Nanxunmen in the outer city, the imperial street bragging was finally over. It was now You hour (i.e. five o'clock in the afternoon), and everyone was still unfinished, but Wu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
The happy ordeal is finally over! Everyone gradually said goodbye and left while complimenting and congratulating each other, talking in groups and laughing.
"Congratulations, my dear brother, for being the first scholar!" "Congratulations, Brother Pan, for being the first scholar!" Wu Zhi and Pan Wei had not even had time to greet each other when they were passing on their titles and praising their officials. At this time, after congratulating each other, they slowly walked towards
Rushing home.
Pan Wei was still immersed in excitement and couldn't help himself, and there was laughter and laughter all the way. Judging from his fifth place result, there is definitely no problem in teaching a better person. Although he is not as dazzling as Wu Zhi, the fifth place
His results are already incredible. Now, he still feels like he is in a dream, everything is so incredible. Wu Zhi’s words are really effective!
The yellow list after the roll call will be posted on the south wall of the Gongyuan by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and will be displayed to the public for three days to inform the world and enjoy the joy of the people to show the emperor's great grace.
When she got home, before she even entered the door, Xiao'e ran from the courtyard and ran to Wu Zhi and Pan Wei with a face full of joy. She pulled their official robes and looked around, and then spoke happily.
She said: "Brother Dalang's official robe is more beautiful!" Wang Er had already returned home first and told her the good news.
When Pan Wei heard this, he was immediately hit hard and felt a little bitter in his heart: "Can it not look good? That is the big red robe of the number one scholar!" He had no choice but to smile coquettishly and walked into the courtyard first.
"You girl!" Wu Zhi touched her head lovingly, then took her hand and walked into the yard together. The fourteen-year-old girl had grown taller, almost reaching his chin.
The courtyard was full of laughter and joy. Just when Wu Zhi was thinking about how to go out to celebrate, suddenly a shout of "Good news! Good news! Master Wu Zhi has won the first prize!" came from the front door of the courtyard.
As soon as the words stopped, there were shouts of "Good news! Good news! Mr. Pan Wei has passed the imperial examination!"
When the four of them went out, they saw that officials from the Ministry of Rites came to announce the good news. When the two groups of people came to see each other, they couldn't help but look at each other: "Why are there two groups of people? Is there a mistake?
?”
The young man who was leading them held the gold-plated book in both hands, looked at the four Wu Zhi who were walking out of the courtyard with a charming smile, and then bowed and asked: "Who is Wu Zhi's number one scholar?" "Who is Pan Wei's Jinshi?"
master?"
After receiving the exact answer, they breathed out: "My darling, it turned out that there was no mistake. Both of them are Jinshi masters! And the number one scholar is still so young!"
Wu Zhi and Pan Wei each took a look at the golden flower posts, and they were immediately happy. My dear, these two golden flower posts not only have the honors and birthplaces that Wu Zhi and Pan Wei obtained, but there are also more than 20 words written densely underneath.
The titles and detailed information of each examiner were signed by their names at the back, including Prime Minister Zhang Chun!
These are two proper leaflets! Wu Zhi scorned and cursed in his heart.
"Congratulations, Master!" "Congratulations, Master!" He led all the government officials into the courtyard. Both groups of government officials were rushing to congratulate Wu Zhi and Pan Wei. After saying this, they did not leave, but stood waiting beside them.
Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized: They are just waiting for the money to please them.
Just when Wu Zhi was worrying about how to make a fortune, a deafening sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from outside the courtyard door. After a moment, it suddenly stopped, and a clear laughter sounded: "Xiang Yuan, my dear brother, Zhuangyuan Lou Qian Mute
Come and meet me!”
Wu Zhi and Pan Wei hurriedly went out to check, and everyone followed them out. They saw a red carriage parked in front of the door. There were six large boxes neatly placed on the carriage. Next to the carriage stood four champions.
Guys, there are four gong and drum musicians beside them, who are playing hard, and the gongs and drums are noisy. Qian Mu, the owner of Zhuangyuan Tower, is standing in front of the carriage, looking at the two of them with a smile.
The surrounding neighbors had long been alarmed by their movements, and they all gathered around to watch the excitement and talk about it.
"Congratulations to brother Wu Zhixian for winning the first prize! Congratulations to brother Pan Weixian for winning the first prize!" Seeing Wu Zhi and Pan Wei come out, Qian Mu quickly waved his hand to ask the musicians to stop, then took a step forward, bowed and shouted respectfully
Congratulations. He is indeed a profiteer. He is even called a good brother.
"Who is Mr. Qian?" Wu Zhi quickly bowed to him in return, and then asked doubtfully.
"This is a little bit of my kindness from Zhuangyuanlou. Please accept it from my two wise brothers!" Qian Mu smiled and then waved to the clerks behind him. The clerks understood this and hurriedly opened the boxes one by one.
, six boxes full of copper coins came into everyone's eyes, shining brightly, and the onlookers couldn't help but took a breath and were dumbfounded: "With so many copper coins, maybe there are more than 100,000 coins of seven or eight hundred kilograms?"
!”
Wu Zhi and Pan Wei were also frightened by his operation and were stunned for a while before they came to their senses. Good guy, even a gift can cause such a big battle!
Wu Zhi originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought that Qian Mu needed him to help promote the Zhuangyuan Building, so he didn't want it for free, so he handed it to him, thanked him, and accepted it readily.
After Qian Mu saw Wu Zhi accepting the gift, he felt relieved. He quickly signaled the musicians to play gongs and drums, and ordered the guys to carry the box into the yard amidst the sound of gongs and drums.
This commotion made everyone around him aware of it, and there was a lot of discussion. They remembered Wu Zhi, Qian Mu, and Zhuangyuan Tower. The purpose of Qian Mu's gift-giving was to publicize it with great fanfare. Now, his purpose has been achieved.
Already.
What a total profiteer! Wu Zhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Pan Wei was even more filled with emotion and couldn't help sighing. He finally opened his eyes today. It turns out that flattering and building a relationship can be so majestic and majestic.
When there were more people, the yard was abuzz with excitement. Most of the money stored at home was broken silver, and there were not that many copper coins. Originally, Wu Zhi was still having a headache how to distribute the wedding money, but no, he had to give the wedding money to himself
He came here, it’s like someone gave him a pillow when he was sleepy. This is the benefit and charm of being the number one scholar and becoming an official! No wonder everyone is wearing more clothes and is pursuing it without regrets. In this case, he is not polite.
Okay. This Qian Mu was really thoughtful and solved Wu Zhi's urgent need. It was a big favor to him!
So, Wu Zhi asked the guys in Zhuangyuan Building to help him move the copper coins in the box, and each of them gave one thousand copper coins to the government officials, and the neighbors who were watching also gave one hundred copper coins each. The government officials and neighbors were happy.
After Xingdi left, he distributed one thousand coins to each of the musicians. After sending them away, he took out another four thousand coins and distributed them to the clerks. The four clerks were hesitant at first, but they nodded when they saw that the boss had no objection.
After agreeing, they happily accepted it. They looked at Wu Zhi with closer and kinder eyes, and felt that he was more heroic and extraordinary.
After giving out the wedding money, one of the six boxes was empty. Wu Zhi asked the guys to help carry the remaining five boxes into the house and put them away. Then he invited Qian Mu to have tea, and Wu Zhi and Pan Wei accompanied him.
, the eldest brother and the younger brother had a brief exchange of tea, and then Qian Mu took the rest of the waiters and left with a satisfied farewell.
After sending Qian Mu away, the four of them relaxed completely. Wu Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief. Dealing with favors was really more tiring than exams.
After relaxing, Xiao'e and Wang Er walked around the five big boxes, their eyes shining, muttering to themselves, she and Wang Er have never seen so many copper coins in their lives! Wu Zhi and
Pan Wei looked at her and Wang Er helplessly, relatively speechless.
In fact, although six boxes of copper coins seem to be a lot, they are only about 120 taels of silver, which is only equivalent to 120 taels of silver. Wu Zhi now has more money than this.
many!
But even though mosquitoes are small, they are still meat! Seeing the two of them happy, Wu Zhi and Pan Wei didn't want to hit them and let them make trouble on their own.
"Let's go out to eat and celebrate!" Watching the night getting late, Wu Zhi suggested after the two of them had had enough noisy.
"Okay! Okay!" When Xiao'e heard that she was going out to eat, she stopped circling happily and nodded quickly in response.
"Then what do you want to eat?" Wu Zhi teased her with a smile. Now that he has money, he will make more in the future, so he does not hesitate to spend money and spends what should be spent.
"I want to eat? I want to eat Lianghe perilla fish and shrimp mushrooms from Li Qing's family in Baokangmen!" Xiao'e tilted her head, thought for a moment, shook Wu Zhi's arm and said crisply, looking at him expectantly.
During this time, Wu Zhi took her, Pan Wei, and Wang Er out to find delicious food from time to time. She also memorized a few places with good food, and her mouth began to become naughty.
"Okay, let's go to Li Qing's house to eat!" Wu Zhi agreed to her without thinking. Wu Zhi is now a maniac about doting on his sister. As long as Xiao'e asks, he will try his best to satisfy her, not to mention that this is just a little girl.
Just a small request.
Pan Wei stood aside, looking at Wu Zhi and Xiao'e with a little envy. He found that the relationship between the cousins was very good. Usually, he seemed to have never been so kind and kind to his Jin Lian girl. At the same time, he also found that the relationship between the cousins was very good.
, Wu Zhi is really a very easy-going and kind person, not quite like the champion.
Wu Zhi and the four of them happily had a delicious meal at Li Qing's house in Baokangmen, celebrated happily, and satisfied Xiao'e's "tricky" talk. Then the four of them went to the state
We walked around the Qiao Night Market and it was already very late when we got home.
Wu Zhi discovered that the night markets in the Song Dynasty were really lively and prosperous with singing and dancing. But how could people today think that all this would be wiped out in more than 20 years?
Things are really unpredictable! Wu Zhi was filled with emotions.
