Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 414 I also rode a horse in front of the Imperial Street (for JJM leader)

The specific list of this year's successful candidates did not begin to circulate throughout Lin'an City until early the next morning.

The people of Lin'an were the happiest because the top scorer in this subject came from Lin'an.

The people of Lin'an are naturally proud of it.

The nobles and royal relatives in Lin'an who had daughters waiting to be married took the list of Jinshi and studied it for half the night, making circles and notations.

Just in case the next day was the day when the newly-appointed scholars would be parading on horseback, so why not... go and take a look?
Seeing is believing!
As they are all young people with great prospects, personal conditions become the key to making further choices.

It would be best if he could achieve the goal of a strong alliance and his daughter could be satisfied with him.

Therefore, many colorful tents were set up on both sides of the Imperial Street overnight, with high platforms built in the tents.

It is reasonable for these dignitaries and royal relatives to appreciate the appearance of young talents, isn't it?
Of course, how many of them would let their daughters dress up in green clothes, pretend to be maids, and hide behind to secretly look at the new Jinshi is unknown to outsiders.

Early the next morning, the new Jinshi scholars put on the Jinshi robes bestowed by the court yesterday, wore three-branch and nine-leaf crowns on their heads, and everyone rode on horseback to the Imperial College to pay homage to Confucius.

Although the horses were all well-trained Taiping horses in the palace, walking steadily and with red satin mattresses on their backs, those Jinshi who could not ride horses were still trembling with fear and did not dare to straighten their backs, as they would have ruined their image.

After the ceremony of paying homage to Confucius was over, the scholars left the Imperial Academy and palace maids distributed to them silk flowers that looked lifelike.

The unique custom of wearing flowers in the hair reappears in the Song Dynasty.

Yang Yuan was the top scholar, so the flowers he got were naturally the most precious.

He was given a plum blossom, which was the national flower of the Song Dynasty.

A branch of plum blossom, with rugged twigs; a red plum blossom, tough and proud in the snow.

This is very Song Dynasty, the flower recognized as the best is not the wealthy and powerful peony.

The runner-up, Xiao Yiran, will wear a narcissus in his hair.

Narcissus, the flower of literati.

The calm temperament and elegant style are very consistent with the aesthetics and temperament of the Song people.

When Yang Yuan saw that the runner-up Xiao Yiran was fumbling with his crown and had trouble inserting the flowers, he stepped forward to help him.

Yang Yuan put the daffodils in the arrangement for Xiao Yiran, looked at them carefully, and said with a smile: "Six or seven miles down the mountain, there are eight or nine families in front of the mountain. Every family is very poor and only sells daffodils.

This narcissus, pure to the core, is pinned on Brother Xiao’s crown. The man is like the flower, the flower is like the man, they are the perfect match.”

Xiao Yiran saw that Yang Yuan could recite a poem at random. It sounded simple, but when he savored it carefully, the more he savored it, the more meaningful it became.

Especially the praise "pure to the bone" which uses a flower to describe a person, and this was said by the new top scholar.

And this is the time when the new number one scholar is at the peak of his popularity, with the highest popularity and the highest traffic.

This poem and this praise by the top scholar were the best tools for him to become famous all over the world.

From now on, as long as he works harder in this direction, "clean to the bone" will become his biggest personality label.

For a moment, Xiao Yiran, a man in his early thirties, actually had a red face due to excitement.

After hearing this, Lu Chengze, the third place winner, couldn't help but feel envious.

Although there is no best in literature, he does not admit defeat to Yang Yuan.

However... he also wanted to get a word of praise from the top scholar. It would be even better if he could write a poem for him!

Lu Tanhua wore a peony on his head and deliberately walked back and forth in front of Yang Yuan. However, Yang Yuan ignored him.

We are all of the same age, so we should still get along well with each other on the surface.

However, their different positions mean they are doomed to be in opposition in the future, and it is not a good thing if they are too deeply bound by personal feelings.

If we talk about intentional intimacy, no one, as the top scholar, would be more proactive.

As for the runner-up Xiao Yiran, not only is he older than Yang Yuan, but he is also a fellow advocate of war. Yang Yuan intends to win him over, which is a different matter.

When everything was ready, everyone got on their horses again.

The "horse parade" program that the people of Lin'an love most has officially begun.

The number one scholar took the lead and walked at the front, enjoying the guidance of the seven-horse Jinwu guards, which were usually only available to the emperor.

Behind them, walking side by side were the second place winner Xiao Yiran and the third place winner Lu Chengze.

There were crowds of people on both sides of the road, vying to watch.

The Jinshi scholars were all dressed in robes and hats, but they were far less visually impactful than the muscular and masculine tide-riders who watched the tide in Qiantang on August 18th.

However, countless women, just by looking at him, had their eyes stirred and their hearts surged, which was more arousing than looking at the topless surfers.

Status and fame are far more attractive to them than a masculine and strong body.

Coming out of the Imperial College and turning to the intersection of Imperial Street, the first colorful tent you see is that of the Song family.

The Song family’s colorful tent is tall and big.

What is particularly eye-catching is the "clusters of flowers" under the shed, all of which are young and beautiful ladies.

In the middle, of course, is the catering trio of Luxi Danniang and Xiao Qingtang.

On the left is the Japanese trio of Himeka, Kanon, and Koona.

On the right is the speed trio of Yuchan, Bingxin and Fei Yuye.

After that, it was the Eighteen Foreign Horses led by the Holy Rose Knight Emmanuelle Belle...

After Yang Yuan's explanation last night, Luxi and Danniang realized that they were wrong. There would be no such thing as "kidnapping" on the street and dragging the Jinshi home to get married. This made them give up the idea of ​​sending out the Four Elders' Army to seize people on the street.

Instead, they asked people to set up a tent here overnight to help boost the reputation of their man who had won the top prize in the imperial examination.

As soon as the Seven Golden Guards arrived, Helen, Afafu, Tierreba and other women threw baskets of flower petals that they had prepared long ago onto the Imperial Street.

Flower petals danced in the wind, and the champion, riding a white horse, wearing red and colorful clothes, stepped into the colorful scene, and the people on the street cheered in unison. Yang Yuan, riding on his horse, looked under the colorful tent, and met Lu Xi's eyes and smiled.

Lu Xi suddenly felt embarrassed and hurriedly pulled up Dan Niang's sleeve to quietly cover her blushing face.

Last night, it was so bold and embarrassing. It was her first time...

Be intimate with the second brother with others.

Even though the man was someone she was very familiar with, they were good sisters who often exchanged dirty words with each other in private.

When Yang Yuan saw the shy Lu Xi at this moment, he couldn't help but think of the scene last night.

Xiao Luxi, with bright eyes, white teeth and a natural smile, looked very delicate. She looked up and stammered.

That pure and charming style...

Moreover, Dan Niang added fuel to the fire, stirred up trouble, fanned the flames, and donated money to help, and a pair of silver carp competed for food.

The red-lipped hummingbird of You Xidan Niang actually gives people the feeling that it flaps its wings fifty times per second.

The crimson lips gradually became lighter, and the cloud steps turned sluggish.

At this time, the number one scholar "climbed up and up, and up to the top of the mountain. Looking up, the red sun was low and the white clouds were low, and the four seas and five lakes were all in sight."

Xue Bingxin stood on the stage, looking at the newly crowned number one scholar Yang Yuan, with a look of resentment in her eyes.

She had been extremely reluctant and unwilling before, but when she finally figured it out, the result was...

Yang Yuan was even busier than the emperor who was busy with state affairs, but he didn't show up.

So angry!
Leng Yuchan stared at Yang Yuan happily until he slowly walked past her, then she turned around and glanced at Xue Bingxin.

Seeing Xue Bingxin looking like a resentful woman in the boudoir, Leng Yuchan wanted to laugh.

Well……

Leng Yuchan looked at those foreign women, and then at the Luxi trio. She was alone, so it was time to get her good sisters to help her.

The IOU signed by Bing Xin...

Maybe it can help them break through that layer of window paper?

Emmanuelle Belle looked at Yang Yuan riding on the white horse with a sweet smile and found this Song culture very interesting.

However, when Helen and others around her threw flower petals, walked back laughing, looked at her, then looked at Yang Yuan, then restrained their smiles and shook their heads gently, the faint smile on her face could no longer be held back.

My martial arts skills seem to have reached a bottleneck.

I don't feel any obvious progress in my recent exercises. Although my memory has almost recovered, there are still many things I haven't remembered.

Mr. Yang won the top spot in the imperial examination and waited for about two months for the court to assign him an official position.

He has been fine for the past two months. Maybe... I can find time to ask him for advice again?

Belle bit her lip and thought quietly.

There is a teahouse on Imperial Street.

In a private room on the second floor, Diwu Bingji, the "New Year's Envoy", "Memorial Envoy" and "Celebration Envoy" sent by the Kingdom of Jin to the Song Dynasty, stood by the window, looking at Yang Yuan, the top scholar, who was riding on a horse and waving to both sides of the road with a smile on his face.

The fifth Bingji was originally an envoy sent by the Jin Emperor Wanyan Liang to congratulate the Song Dynasty on New Year's Day.

As a result, when the Fifth Bingji was about to pack up and return home, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was assassinated and Prime Minister Qin Hui died.

Qin Hui was the most valued prime minister of the Song State by the Jin State, and he couldn't just leave.

Moreover, he had to find out who intended to assassinate the emperor and killed Qin Hui.

Because of this delay, the Kingdom of Jin sent someone to replace the letter for him.

He suddenly changed from being an "envoy to congratulate the New Year" to an "envoy to offer condolences and sacrifices".

After the mourning period is over, the State of Song will definitely have a new king ascend the throne.

When the Kingdom of Jin sent him a letter of credence, it directly sent two copies.

So, he took out the last letter of credence, and he changed from being an "envoy of condolences" to an "envoy of congratulations on his accession to the throne."

The Fifth Patient said coldly, "Is this person the number one scholar of this year's imperial examination in your Song Dynasty?"

From behind the Fifth Patient, a voice came: "That's right."

"I have read his prelude to the throne. It is simply an invitation to war. What do you, the Song Dynasty, want to do?"

"Don't misunderstand, Your Excellency. You can talk about anything during the prelude.

Besides, although being the top scholar is glorious, he cannot influence the national policy of the court.

Many of us do not want to harm the friendship between Jin and Song."

The Fifth Patient was silent for a moment, then smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom, also hopes that the two countries can be good neighbors and friendly.

But your country's top scholar and your country's new emperor don't seem to think so."

"Your country is very powerful, and as the emperor, it is normal for you to be wary and ask for advice from the officials.

As long as people like Yang Yuan are not allowed to stir up trouble, the government will calm down and realize the importance of peace between Jin and Song."

The corners of the Fifth Patient's lips curled up slightly: "I understand. I will report the situation in Song to the Emperor of the Great Jin, and the Great Jin will make an appropriate response."

The voice behind him said cheerfully: "Thank you, envoy. With your country's cooperation, I believe that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty will soon understand what is the correct way for Song and Jin to get along.

Yang Yuan and his ilk are just clowns! Our two countries will definitely continue to be in harmony. "
