Farming and teaching across different worlds

If you don't study, you will definitely be on the list, it's just a difference in ranking. "

Li Shuhua felt his kindness, smiled, and thanked him. At that moment, his bookboy just entered the door, "Congratulations, master, I will try fourth."

Everyone was in an uproar and congratulated Li Shuhua one after another. This ranking is the highest among the crowd. If you sprint for the palace exam, you might be able to get a first.

"Thank you everyone, we are happy together, we will replace wine with tea, let's have a drink together." Li Shuhua picked up the teacup and saluted everyone, "Now that the results are out, everyone should go back and prepare well, so that we can get a good rank in the imperial examination. Instead, let's meet again and have a drink together." Everyone nodded, dispersed, and went home to work hard.

Ji Xiuran also went back to prepare for the palace examination half a month later.

The palace examination was presided over by the emperor, and it was held in the main hall of the palace. At dawn, Ji Xiuran went outside the palace gate and waited. When the time came, when the palace gate opened, someone came out, called names, and then led them into the palace and into the main hall. Afterwards, they saluted the emperor, and then each sat down, distributed the test papers, and prepared to answer the questions. The imperial examination only consisted of strategy questions.

Candidates are arranged according to their ranking in the general examination, and Ji Xiuran's ranking is relatively high, so he is ranked relatively high.You can't look directly at the emperor's holy face, but you can still see a bright yellow in the corner of your eyes.When everyone was seriously writing, the emperor walked around these candidates to see the general situation.

Ji Xiuran saw the emperor's figure from the corner of his eyes, and he was not affected, but the examinee on his right couldn't be as calm as Ji Xiuran. Feeling the emperor's approach, his excited hands trembled, and he could hardly hold the brush.Fortunately, the emperor left after a while, and the examinee returned to normal.

Ji Xiuran looked at the exam questions, thought carefully, and then took a pen to write seriously. Before sunset, he finally finished writing and handed it in.After the exam, read the papers the next day, then select the top ten and show it to the emperor, and then nominate the champion, second place, and third place.After the ranking is determined, the list will be released the next day.

When it was time to release the list, Ji Xiuran and all the tributes who participated in the palace examination came to the Golden Luan Hall together.The emperor stood in front of the hall, and the roll call began for the grand ceremony of passing on people, hand-picking the number one scholar, the second place, and the first flower.And second-class and third-class Jinshi.

The champion this time is No.1 in the previous examination, a thin middle-aged man, the second place is a gray-haired old Confucian scholar, and Tanhua is Li Shuhua, the young and handsome Li Shuhua is very conspicuous among the three .

The number one scholar led the crowd to thank the emperor for his kindness, then got on his horse, and took the lead to walk outside the palace. Everyone got on their horses and followed behind the number one scholar, and the most lively part began, the number one scholar paraded through the streets.

After Zeng Junhui heard that Ji Xiuran had passed the exam, he reserved a box with the best location in Piaoxiang Building, and Shi Jingchen rushed to Piaoxiang Building early.The street where Zhuangyuan Building and Piaoxiang Building are located is the street that Zhuangyuan must pass through when he tours the street. Today, this street is crowded with people and is very lively.Shi Jingchen and Zeng Junhui sat in the box and waited, fearing that Jiabao would be crowded by people, so Shi Jingchen did not take him with him when he came out today.But Zeng Junhui brought out Zhiyu.

Zhiyu is lying on the window sill very excitedly, looking at the people below and asking: "Father, can I see Uncle Ji later, when will he come over?"

"Your Uncle Ji will be here in a while, when you see him, remember to throw this flower to him." Zeng Junhui gave Zhiyu a pink and white peony, giving him a bad idea.

Shi Jingchen got up and stood behind Zhiyu, looking at the crowd below, he did not stop Zeng Junhui's small movements, but instead picked up one from the side and held it in his hand.

After a while of commotion, gongs and drums blared, a group of people came over, the number one scholar at the head was wearing a red number one scholar robe, with big red flowers in front of him, walking along the way, did someone in the surrounding crowd throw handkerchief incense on the young Jinshi? Bags and flowers.Tanhualang Li Shuhua was thrown the most.

Ji Xiuran is No.9 in the second class, and he is also ranked relatively high. Among these people, he is also considered handsome before, and many people threw things at him along the way.When the team reached the downstairs of Piaoxiang Building, Ji Xiuran raised his head and looked at the window on the second floor, and soon saw Shi Jingchen and the others standing by the window, Xiao Zhiyu also saw Ji Xiuran riding a horse at this time, and was very happy He yelled loudly, waved to Ji Xiuran, then remembered his father's words, and threw his own flower towards Ji Xiuran, but his strength was too weak, and the flower fell into the crowd downstairs and disappeared.

At this time Shi Jingchen raised his hand and threw out the flower in his hand, his aim was not comparable to Xiao Zhiyu, he threw it into Ji Xiuran's arms at once, Ji Xiuran picked up the flower, smiled at Shi Jingchen, and then Put the flowers on the skirt of the clothes and continue to ride the horse forward.

Zeng Junhui, who wanted to see Ji Xiuran's embarrassment, said, "..."

Gongsun Zizhan and the third prince who saw this scene on the champion upstairs opposite said: "..."

After seeing it, Xiao Zhiyu next to him said in a dejected tone, "I didn't throw it over, and Uncle Ji didn't even smile at me."

Zeng Junhui, who had reacted, touched his little head and said, "You are still young, you can throw it over when you grow up, and your Uncle Ji will definitely smile at you."

Shi Jingchen gave him a sideways glance when he heard what he said, Zeng Junhui had the cheek to pretend he didn't see it.

Ji Xiuran and his group came to the gate of Suzaku, and after seeing the "Gold List" posted, they went home.He waited until everyone around Li Shuhua had left, and went to say goodbye to him before returning.

Shi Jingchen had already returned home early, and Zeng Junhui and Zhiyu also followed him back.Cooking a large table of delicious food is a small celebration.The next day, Ji Xiuran packed himself and went to the palace to attend the Qionglin Banquet.

Although Ji Xiuran is also ranked high, he is nothing compared to the top three. At the banquet, he had nothing to do except when the emperor raised his glass at the beginning of the banquet. After drinking a glass, no one paid attention He was very relaxed, he didn't need to drink or socialize, so he concentrated on savoring the palace banquet, thinking about how good the cooking skills of the royal chef in the palace were.And it might be the only chance to have a palace banquet in a lifetime, so you should cherish it.

The third prince, who was sitting at the first place next to the emperor, was drinking and casually glanced at these new court talents. When his eyes swept over Ji Xiuran, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and the hand holding the wine glass paused.Ji Xiuran's state of concentrating on delicious food is completely different from the people around him who are busy socializing with wine glasses, and his abnormality is immediately apparent.The third prince, who made his mind deep and never showed his emotions easily, also had a stiff face.

When the third prince was sitting down, he was staring at the third prince's second prince Shuo Wang. The third prince's face changed, and he noticed it all at once, and provocatively said: "Third prince, what's the matter? Is the drink not to your liking?"

The third prince gave him a look of "Are you an idiot?" His complexion returned to normal, and he continued to drink, thinking that only an idiot like the second child would use this kind of pediatric eye drops. He can't do any harm, and in the end it will only embarrass himself. I really don't understand why the second child still doesn't behave well in the past ten years.

The second prince was quite annoyed by the look in the eyes of the third prince. He patted the table and said, "You third son, my brother is kind enough to talk to you. What kind of eyes are you looking at?"

The movement on their side immediately alarmed the emperor who was quite close to him. Emperor Yongping was dressed in bright yellow and was not angry. When he heard the movement, his face became serious, and he looked over with sharp eyes. He scolded the second prince and said: "Second."

What does it look like to slap the table at the younger brother and stare.

The second prince who was being scolded froze, feeling the aura from the emperor, he had no choice but to withdraw his glaring eyes at the third prince, put away his arrogance, stood up and saluted the emperor, and said, "Go back to father, my son, look at the third prince." The emperor didn't seem very satisfied with today's drink, so he raised his voice to show concern, but the third emperor didn't appreciate it."

"Oh? Third, is your second brother telling the truth?" The emperor turned his eyes to the third prince. There was no sharpness in his eyes, but he looked at him quite gently.

The third prince sat on his seat, and replied casually: "My son thinks that the wine today is quite mellow, and he wanted to ask Father for more. It's the second brother who made a mistake."

Faced with such a rude third prince, the emperor not only did not blame him, but laughed and said: "Okay, it's just some drinks, I will give you as much as the emperor wants, and the second child also sit down and pay attention to the royal dignity." By the way Hit the second prince.

The second prince saluted and sat down like a defeated rooster. The third prince glanced at him with a smile, and was so angry that he wanted to slap the table. The third prince opened his mouth and said "royal dignity", he could only Enduring it, he picked up his own wine glass and began to drink the dull wine.

The other people at the banquet continued to drink and chat as if they hadn't seen this little episode, but they were all muttering in their hearts, this third prince really has a sacred heart as deep as the rumors say.

The eldest prince Min Wang, who was sitting on the other side of the emperor, looked at this situation, clenched his fists, and thought angrily in his heart: "Father will love this idiot, if it is not because of father's love, this king would have killed me a long time ago." He's gone." Then he thought of other things, and relaxed, "Fortunately, he's an idiot, no matter how much he favors him, it's impossible for the emperor to pass on the throne to him."

And Cheng Enhou Chengli, who was sitting among the ministers of the aristocratic family, looked at all this with deep eyes, turned his head and saw the ignorant Ninth Prince, frowned, and felt very sorry for his heartless nephew. Dissatisfied, but quickly let go, no one noticed anything unusual.
