Eating big melon is so refreshing

February 18th, best of luck!

The top three candidates in the imperial examination were dressed in red and decorated with ribbons, and rode on horses in a parade through the streets!

Zhao Erlang had reserved two seats at Chunfengzhai, a place where the number one scholar had to pass by during the parade. They could eat cakes while watching the newly crowned number one scholar riding a horse through the streets.

"I'm coming!"

"What a handsome champion!"

Xiao Chunya, who was watching with a telescope, couldn't help but laugh when she saw people looking at the lineup. The top scorer was an acquaintance, Lu Fenghua, and the third place was an even more acquaintance, Mingyue Gongzi. Only the second place was a stranger, a middle-aged man in his twenties. I wonder if that was awkward?

Lu Fenghua rode a snow-white horse, its mane fluttering in the wind like a silver flame. The horse's steps were vigorous, and the sound of its hooves was crisp, as if it was playing a victory song. The champion held the golden flower in his hand, his eyes were firm and bright, and he smiled at the cheering crowd.

The runner-up followed closely behind him, and he was also very handsome. The horse he rode had black fur, like lightning in the dark night, agile and powerful. The runner-up held a Ruyi in his hand, and the brocade robe he wore was embroidered with exquisite patterns, and every stitch and thread told of his outstanding talent.

Look at the young master Mingyue, who is a valiant man riding a red horse. He is like a shining star on horseback. He holds the folding fan given by the emperor, which is embroidered with beautiful flowers and birds. Every time he waves it, it brings a breeze. His smile is like the warm sunshine in spring, warm and kind.

Crowds of people surged on both sides of the street. Men, women, old and young were fascinated by the talent. Children cheered and ran after the horses, as if they were chasing their dreams for the future. The elderly were in tears, lamenting that the country had a new pillar of talent.

Shops along the way hung up red silk, the sound of firecrackers was deafening, and young girls grabbed the flowers from the flower baskets and threw them down, some threw sachets, some threw handkerchiefs, and last time someone threw gold ingots.

Xiao Chunya threw a furry Pikachu doll down, and Mingyue Gongzi, who was riding a horse, had the same idea. He jumped into the air and caught the Pikachu that had deviated far away from its position.

Lu Fenghua said with a half-smile, "Junior Brother Mingyue, this doll was given to me by Junior Sister, right?"

"She is not familiar with you." Young Master Mingyue left after saying this. If the advancing team had not stopped suddenly, how could the toy dropped by Xiaochuner have fallen exactly where Lu Fenghua was!

Young Master Mingyue looked up towards the second floor of Chunfengzhai, but did not see the cute Xiaochun'er. Instead, he saw Xiaoqiu'er who was gnawing on a chicken leg. Eating such greasy food so early in the morning, Tsk!

Riding a horse and parading in the streets, drinking the northwest wind, how can the chicken leg in your hand be as delicious as it is? Xiao Qiulin chewed the chicken leg with relish, without changing out of his imperial examination uniform. His grades were as stable as an old dog, ranking 50th in the joint examination and 50th in the palace examination!

"Brother, come and have a bowl of black chicken soup. Look at your face, it's so thin that you can't even see any trace of being a fat kid." They were in a good mood. The imperial examination was finally over and they were going home.

Xiao Qiulin was enjoying the rare loving tonic soup from Fat Sister. He had been really straining his brain during this period, so he really admired those talented people who could get the top score!

"Is it delicious? Two bowls for one tael of silver, and I've already finished the other bowl." Xiao Chunya licked the bowl clean, not wasting a drop.

Xiao Qiulin had a somewhat painful expression. There were a lot of the so-called hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in the black chicken soup in his space. His little finger was only the size of a fingernail, but he had to sell two bowls of a big pot of black chicken soup for one tael of silver. What a black-hearted merchant!

"Where did this country bumpkin come from? If you think one ounce of silver is too expensive, why bother to come to Chunfengzhai and waste several seats!"

Who is talking in my ear? Xiao Chunya immediately looked up, looking for the woman who spoke harshly. The voice of the melon-eating system came to my ear.

"Ding, the system has been successfully upgraded. The host can hear other people's malicious thoughts towards you!"

"Who was that guy just now?" Xiao Chunya asked the melon-eating system directly, which was a rare opportunity.

"The woman in pink at three o'clock is the granddaughter of the Minister of Rites." The melon-eating system reported, "Su Xiaofeng, female, thirteen years old, narrow-minded, slanted eyes and crooked mouth, strength value less than 40, this system has determined that she is useless!"

"You're just a country bumpkin. The Minister of Rites can't even teach his own granddaughter well. How can he be the Minister of Rites?" Xiao Chunya cursed, "The Minister of Rites Su Ergou favors his concubine and neglects his wife. He squanders his original wife's dowry to raise the concubine's illegitimate children. What a bunch of bastards they are! They deserve to be struck by lightning!"

Su Xiaofeng's face turned ugly. She was about to lose her temper when a bolt of lightning struck from the blue sky. The wooden window of Chunfengzhai shattered. Su Xiaofeng screamed and fell out of the window, breaking her leg on the spot.

The second floor was still too low. Xiao Qiulin's eyes flickered. If she fell from the third floor with her head facing downwards, she would definitely die on the spot!

"Miss!" The maid ran downstairs in panic. If anything happened to the young lady, the madam would beat her to death. Thinking of the madam's ruthlessness, the maid didn't want to sit and wait for death. Her eyes flashed with viciousness!

Royal Palace

The Minister of Rites, who had just walked out of the Taiji Hall, had not taken a few steps when suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a thunderclap, which struck the Minister of Rites directly. In an instant, the Minister of Rites fell to the ground with smoke all over his body.

The faces of the people surrounding him suddenly became panic-stricken, and they retreated back in fear until they were ten meters away from him.

Wu Xiang Guo Shi was standing in the Taiji Hall, witnessing everything that happened outside. He had a faint smile on his face, and his tone was filled with contempt and ridicule, "Your Majesty, the Minister of Rites, Lord Su, was struck by lightning!"

Emperor Longqing: This scene seems familiar.

The chief eunuch, Eunuch An, hurried to check on the Minister of Rites who was struck by lightning. He waved his hand and asked people to carry the body out of the palace. What bad luck!

"Oh my, what's the saying? It's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come. When the time comes, the whole family will report to the underworld!"

From a distance, you can hear the little fat girl's excited voice, "The second son of the Minister of Rites is really good at playing with meteor hammers. He killed his eldest brother with one and injured his mother with another. Su Xiaofeng broke her leg and Su Ergou was killed by lightning. No wonder today is a very lucky day. Good luck, we'll have chicken tonight!"

Emperor Longqing: I originally wanted to find an excuse to dismiss the Minister of Rites from his post, but now I don’t even need an excuse. Today is indeed a very auspicious day.

Wu Xiang Guo Shi raised his lips slightly and muttered, "How is good luck related to eating chicken? The little fat girl is interesting." He called the guards, "Has the old man arrived?"

"still on the way."

"What is he dithering about? If he doesn't move faster, the little fat girl will run away." Wuxiang National Master waved his fan and asked nonchalantly, "Forget it, I'll find a way."
