The capital is a melon field, I happily eat melons

Chapter 72: The top scholar was stimulated and rode a pig to tour the capital

At the signal of Emperor Xuande, the man was secretly dragged away.

Lin Mo and the system had already shifted their target, and now they were talking about the number one scholar's gossip.

System: [Your number one scholar is really a lovesick man. He and his wife are childhood sweethearts. When he first came to the capital, an official also took a fancy to him, but he rejected him.]

Lin Mo took a look at the top scholar. Although he was in his early 30s, he looked upright and honest, and was indeed a good man.

The top scholar has raised his head, and there is a hint of pride on his face.

He and his wife have been childhood sweethearts and have a very good relationship. Even if Lord Kobayashi wants to eat spectacles, he can only eat spectacles of their love.

But sometimes the turning point comes so quickly, and the system's next sentence sends him to hell.

[But your number one scholar is also quite miserable. While he was studying hard and preparing for exams, his wife had already started an affair with his younger brother. Oh, and his newly born daughter is not his, but his younger brother's.]

Everyone originally thought that the top scholar and his wife were a loving couple, but the system's words caught them off guard.

Lin Mo felt his head buzzing, [So he was working so hard to study and get a good degree, but his wife cheated on him with his brother! ]

Oh my god! This person is so unlucky!

The top scholar's face had turned pale, and his body was shaking a little, as if he was unable to stand steadily.

Lin Qi quietly supported him and said, "Hold on, don't fall down!"

Emperor Xuande and others also looked at the number one scholar with pity. Why did it feel like the number one scholar's official hat that he had just put on was a little green?

Lin Mo couldn't wait to hear the sequel, [Hurry up and explain to me in detail what's going on. It can't be an affair, there must be something behind it! ]

The system exclaimed: [How do you know there is an inside story? There is indeed an inside story. The wife and the two brothers are childhood sweethearts. His younger brother has always liked his wife, but it was his older brother who arranged the marriage, so the younger brother has always resented his older brother.]

[The younger brother of the top scholar has always been jealous of his older brother. He is also a scholar but his knowledge is not as good as his older brother. He only passed the exam to become a scholar, so he wanted to take revenge on his older brother.]

Lin Mo's inner voice was a little broken: [So he took revenge on his sister-in-law! ]

Everyone didn't know what to say. It was really too terrible to have such a terrible brother!

Lin Qi suddenly felt a little better. It turned out that people still need comparison. Compared with this annoying brother, his own annoying sister was nothing. At most, she just lost some face by eating some melons outside.

The top scholar's breathing has started to become heavy, and it seems that he is really stimulated.

The system continued: [You don’t know how disgusting this younger brother of his is. If his brother beats him today, he will definitely go to find his sister-in-law soon.]

[Also, the character of the top scholar’s ​​wife was not very good. Since she wanted to be an official’s wife, she didn’t want to be ignored by her husband, so it was natural for her to get together with the top scholar’s ​​younger brother.]

[Alas, sometimes the relationships among you humans are really messy. ]

Lin Mo also nodded inwardly. Indeed, sometimes the relationships between people are really messy.

After the palace selection was over, everyone looked at the top scholar with a meaningful look in their eyes.

Later on, the top scholar, second place, and third place will ride horses around the capital, which is supposed to be a good thing when one's name is on the list of successful candidates, but because of this incident, the top scholar looks as if his parents have died.

Even when he was riding on a tall horse, he still looked as if he had lost all hope in life.

When Lin Mo drove out with his two pigs, the top scholar's expression had not yet recovered.

Suddenly, the top scholar saw Lin Mo’s pig. He was stunned for a moment and then jumped down from it.

Looking at the top scholar walking towards him, Lin Mo was full of doubts.

[What is he going to do! Why doesn't he go ride his big horse around the capital and walk towards me? ]

The system was also confused: [I don’t know either. Maybe I was so happy that I wanted to share my joy with you.]

Everyone present was speechless when they heard the system's words. It was really hard to explain the system's thought process. It had its own unique way of thinking.

After the top scholar came over, he suddenly smiled at Lin Mo, and Lin Mo also smiled at him politely.

Just when everyone didn't know what the two of them were going to do, the top scholar directly grabbed the wild boar and rode on it with his long legs.

"Master Xiaolin, can you lend me your pig?"

Lin Mo: ...

Wild boar: ...

Everyone present: ...

Normally this shouldn't be feasible, but everyone understood that he was quite traumatized today, so they allowed him to ride the pig.

Then the picture became like this.

The top scorer was riding on a wild boar with a dazed look on his face, and the expressions on the faces of the second and third place winners behind him were also a little distorted.

Completely different from the bustling scenes on the streets in the past, this time when they walked onto the street, the street was exceptionally quiet.

The girls were originally preparing to throw flowers at them, but when they saw the pig that the top scholar was riding, they instantly forgot what they were going to do.

I've heard for a long time that the most popular means of transportation in Beijing is the pig, but I've never had the chance to see one. However, I finally saw it today.

In the past, the top scholar would ride a horse past, but now he has to ride a pig?

The young men who are preparing for the next imperial examination already have some ideas in their minds. None of them have ever ridden a pig, so what if they can pass the exam and become the top scorer next time?

No! I have to buy a pig and practice! Regardless of whether I pass the exam later or not, I have to make plans in advance!

Lin Qi glanced at his leisurely little sister behind him, then looked at the crazy top scholar in front of him. He felt extremely complicated.

This world is crazy after all! I don’t know what the top scholar’s ​​mental state is like.

After today, pigs in the capital city were in short supply. Almost every wealthy family had to buy a pig, especially those with scholars, and they wanted to buy strong pigs.

Later, everyone could basically see scholars riding pigs on the streets, which became another landscape in the capital.

Emperor Xuande heard the news: ...

"Who spread this news? When did I say that the top scholar should ride a pig to tour the capital? Wouldn't it be more glorious to ride a horse? Is riding a pig good?"

Eunuch Li coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "It should have been Master Xiaolin who started it in the beginning. Later, the top scholar was upset that day and borrowed a pig from Master Xiaolin to travel around the capital, so everyone thought the rules had changed."

The expression on Emperor Xuande's face was extremely complicated. He really felt it was both ridiculous and funny.
