Since ancient times, chivalrous men have used force to break the law.
In the early Tang Dynasty, which had just experienced the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, although there was still some chaos at the border, there was already a tendency in the court to emphasize civility over military affairs.
Therefore, although there was a military examination in the early Tang Dynasty, the number one scholar in martial arts and the second best scholar in martial arts did not parade around the streets with the same splendor as the number one scholar in Wen.
After going to the court to express her gratitude, Fang Yiai, dressed as a third-ranking scholar, together with Du He, the number one winner, and He Gong, the second winner, began to parade through the streets like celebrities, accepting all the new Chang'an people and passing merchants, as well as those who failed the exam and those in the same department.
The envy, jealousy and hatred, as well as the looks of admiration or admiration from women, ranging from the old lady to the baby who is still sucking.
There were also those bold brothel girls, blushing and laughing, throwing flowers or embroidered handkerchiefs at the three of them.
Although He Gong hung up his beard and trimmed his face, he still couldn't hide his graying hair and slightly fatter figure.
Therefore, against the backdrop of the radiant but half-aged congratulations, and the ordinary-looking yet rough-looking Fang Yiai, Du He, the elegant and handsome scholar, stood out even more, attracting almost half of the audience.
Women's gazes, many flowers and embroidered handkerchiefs were also directed at Du He, who was dressed in Zhuangyuan red.
At the beginning, Du He was still proud, but later on, the hot words of the brothel girls on both sides of the road became too much for Du He to handle. Later, he became numb and no matter what others said, he just looked ahead with a smile on his face.
That is, this obedient gentleman's appearance caused countless women to scream.
Although Fang Yiai felt that the scenery was novel at first, and she felt like a big star being admired by thousands of people, after a while she felt that the smiling muscles on her face were a little stiff. After thinking about it, she felt that she was still suitable to stay in a medical clinic to see doctors and study medical skills.
Not suitable for this glamorous celebrity life.
While Fang Yiai was feeling sleepy, he saw Qing Niang and Shu'er in the crowd. Next to them, there were Cheng Yang and Li Zhi who couldn't get rid of them.
Thinking that Li Shimin had just issued an order to Du He this morning to recruit Du He as Princess Chengyang's consort, Fang Yiai rode his horse towards Du He, poked Du He, and motioned him to look towards the crowd on the left.
"Did you see that? The woman on Shu'er's right is Princess Chengyang, and you are my bride-in-law." Fang Yiai whispered.
Du He had met Princess Chengyang when he was a child. Ever since he decided to study hard and become an official in the court, so as to strive for an upright business career, he spent most of his time studying and never saw Princess Chengyang again.
On the day when the results were released, when the prince brought Fang Yiai from Fang Mansion to Du Mansion to congratulate her, he revealed that the emperor and queen wanted Du He to marry Princess Chengyang.
I had long heard Du Ruhui say that the eldest son Du Gou would inherit the dukedom of the country in the future. Du He, who could not inherit the family business according to etiquette and law, became the only candidate for the Du family's future consort.
Therefore, after listening to Li Chengqian's words and Du Ruhui nodded, Du He didn't say anything unhappy. He thought that Cheng Huailiang could play the piano and harp in harmony with Princess Qinghe, and Princess Chengyang had always been gentle, so she should be able to play the piano with him.
If they get along, it doesn't matter to Du He.
Following the direction that Fang Yiai secretly pointed, Du He saw Princess Chengyang for the first time and felt that she was indeed a royal princess. She was extremely beautiful and even more beautiful than Princess Qinghe and Xiao Tingting.
When Princess Chengyang met Du He's gaze, she lowered her head shyly. The little deer in her heart jolted back and forth. She felt that Shuer and Qingniang beside her were both waving generously towards Fang Yiai, remembering her royal princess demeanor.
, and he mustered up the courage to raise his head and look at Du He with a flying face.
It was Princess Chengyang's seemingly shy but not shy behavior, her shy look with satisfaction and ambiguity that made Du He's heart feel like a cat's paw. He happily fixed his gaze on Princess Chengyang, knowing how to turn and look around.
He disappeared, but he kept looking back.
"How's it going? I'm not lying to you, am I? She's much more stable than my Shu'er, although not as cute as Shu'er." Fang Yiai looked at Du He teasingly and said.
"My Chengyang is also very cute, with affectionate eyes, more beautiful than your Princess Hepu." Du He retorted with a silly smile.
"Does it still taste good? Have you eaten it?" Fang Yiai looked at passers-by with a smile and asked Du He in a low voice.
"It'll be a matter of time." Du He gently threw it over, thinking about the appearance of Princess Chengyang in a silly way, comparing it with the little appearance in his memory when he was a child.
Fang Yiai didn't mess with Du He anymore. In addition to sighing in her heart, she was indeed a destined couple in her previous life. Even though she was a butterfly, although she only postponed their engagement, she didn't blow away the thread of marriage.
It seems that some things can't be wiped out just by blowing them away.
Thinking about it, Fang Yiai thought of Princess Gaoyang's favorite in history, the beautiful and talented Monk Bianji. In order to nip it in the bud, should she find this girl first and then find a reason to send her away far away?
It’s not that I don’t have confidence in myself, it’s just that when is love a reasonable thing? When is it first-come, first-served? Although I don’t believe in love at first sight, there are some things that I’m not afraid of even if it’s ten thousand.
.
Fang Yi made a heart-warming decision and asked Fang Qi to send a message to Shen Wencan when he returned tonight, asking him to inquire about the details of the Bianji monk.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a familiar voice calling "Godfather! Godfather! That's my godfather!".
Fang Yiai looked up and saw Sun Yunniang and Jin Ling'er, along with two boys, Jin Qi and Jin Lin, waving to her in the crowd.
Jinlin jumped, jumped and croaked dishonestly, like a proud little rooster, pointing at Fang Yiai on the horse and showing off to the people around him.
Seeing Fang Yiai looking over with a smile, Jin Qi took advantage of Jin Ling'er's inattention and took advantage of the small man to get out from under the arms of the soldiers guarding the road. He shouted excitedly and ran towards Fang Yiai's horse.
"Jinlin! Come back!" Jin Ling'er and Sun Yunniang waved to Jinlin in the crowd and called worriedly.
"Brother!" Jin Qi also shouted to Jin Lin.
Fang Yiai was afraid of hurting Jin Lin, so she spun around from the horse and jumped over, holding Jin Lin in her arms. She signaled to the soldiers that everything was okay, stepped forward to say hello to Sun Yunniang and Jin Ling'er, and hugged Jin Qi over.
After placing Jin Qi and Jin Lin on his saddle, Fang Yiai mounted his horse again, and the parade continued to move forward.
Seeing Fang Yiai carefully protecting the two children in front of her, and taking her two sons on a horse-riding parade together, Jin Ling'er looked at Fang Yiai, who was wearing Tanhua's new clothes, with complex eyes, feeling proud and happy in her heart
There is pride, a touch of bitterness, and a faint sense of loss.
"I didn't expect these two little things to grow so big in the blink of an eye." Du He looked at the two little things that looked exactly the same and said with a smile.
"Come on, Jinqi Jinlin, call me Uncle Du." Fang Yiai said to the two children in front of him.
"Hello, Uncle Du." The two children shouted in unison.
"Okay." Du He looked at the two children and saw Jin Lin, who was sandwiched between Fang Yiai and Jin Qi, twisting his body back and forth dishonestly, his little eyes rolling around, and looking back and forth at the street with excitement.
the crowd on.
Although Jin Qi in front also had a face full of excitement and novelty, while holding the saddle with one hand, he did not forget to protect his younger brother behind him with the other hand.
"Give me a handle so that both children can feel more relaxed." Du He stretched out his hand and said to Fang Yiai.
Just because Du He couldn't stand Jin Lin's dishonesty, Fang Yiai rubbed Jin Qi's head and said, "Qi'er, would you like to ride a horse with Uncle Du, the champion?"
"Qi'er, listen to your godfather." Jin Qi raised his little face and said with a gentle smile.
After patting Jin Lin and asking him to be more honest, Fang Yiai placed the Jin Qi in front of him in front of Du He.
"Tan Hualang's pair of unicorns are quite cute, and they look good. I think they will be promising in the future." The top scholar on the other side of Du He congratulated them and came up to say.
"These are the twins of Tanhualang's adoptive mother's sister. It's better not to say the wrong thing for the second place, so as not to make the princess unhappy. Tanhualang is the future consort of the seventeenth princess who is most favored by the emperor." Du He heard this,
He frowned and said in a somewhat unhappy tone.
Fang Yiai also frowned a little and looked at congratulations unkindly. Even if he said this in public, wouldn't he be slandering himself for his inappropriate behavior? What does this congratulation mean? Fang Yiai didn't believe it. Just now, the two of Jin Qi and Jin Lin
When he called his godfather, he didn't hear his congratulations. You didn't have any issues with him, right?
Did Fang Yiai know that during the scientific examination in Gongyuan, He Gong's room was just behind Fang Yiai's room and directly opposite Fang Yiai's room?
Morning and night, I smelled the fragrance wafting down the wind from Fang Yiai's room, which made He Gong, who was usually a bit greedy, growl in his stomach. Therefore, after the rankings were released and he saw that he was the second best, He Gong felt that his
The number one scholar was defeated by Fang Yiai, and he hated Fang Yiai in his heart, so he openly came up and used words to attack Fang Yiai.
"Grandpa, Tanhua is the godfather of my brother and I. My father was the top 2 in the last imperial examination." Jin Qi in Du He's arms looked at He Gong with an innocent face and said sweetly, "
Grandpa is so awesome. He took the imperial examination at such an old age. He is better than my godfather and father, and he even got second place in the exam. He is really awesome, isn’t he Uncle Du?"
Jin Qi's innocent words made He Gong's face flush with embarrassment, but he couldn't help it. He glanced at Fang Yi'ai hatefully, without even a smile, and led the horse to keep a certain distance from Du He.
"Jin Qi is so good that he even knows about the first place, third overall, and second place in the top two?" Du He rubbed Jin Qi's pink and tender face, said with a smile, and glanced contemptuously at He Gong, who was looking for trouble for no reason.
"Qi'er, didn't my godfather tell you? Fifty-year-old Jinshi and thirty-year-old Mingjing. The second-placed He will not reach his fiftieth birthday in another three to five months, so he is still the Youngest Jinshi and will be called He.
Uncle Bangyan, you can't call me grandpa, I will call you old. Aren't you happy not to see Bangyan? Why don't you apologize quickly?" Fang Yiai looked at Jinqi dotingly, winked at Jinqi, and pretended to have a serious face.
