After the ceremony of the sacred ceremony, the emperor returned to the palace. The new Jinshi took the horse according to the ranking. The Imperial Guards led the way in front, followed by a team of musical instruments, followed by more than 200 new Jinshis riding horses, and finally another team of Imperial Guards.

People will come out to watch the place where they pass by. The whole street seems to be celebrated, with gongs and drums and firecrackers sounds. The windows on the second floor facing the street are basically open, and the ladies who don’t show up easily are now coming out to watch the fun.

The second-person Cheng Wende smiled and said, "Tanhualang, you must be careful not to be hit by the fruit."

In order to express his love for the new Jinshi, the onlookers would throw flowers, sachets, handkerchiefs, and fruits. The top scholar may be the best talent, but the most popular one is Tanhualang. What's more, the top scholar of this year is over 40 years old and has a beard, which looks very old.

At this time, a sachet flew over, Yan Tongzhu avoided, Cheng Wende caught it, and then the woman who threw the sachet in the restaurant next to him said in annoyance, "Oh, I threw it wrong, I want to throw it to Tanhualang!"

"Sure enough, Tanhualang, you are more popular." Cheng Wende is not very old, at the age of 27 or 28, and has a beautiful face.

Yan Tongzhu smiled and looked up to see who was saying so straightforwardly? When he looked up, the woman upstairs was going crazy, and they screamed and shouted, "Tanhualang, I'm here, look at me, look at me."

"Look at me, Tanhualang, I'm more beautiful."

"Tanhualang, don't listen to her, I'm more beautiful than her."

"Tanhualang, I threw the sachet to you."

"Are my daughters in Beijing so enthusiastic and unrestrained?" Cheng Wende, a foreign candidate, asked in surprise.

"It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate." The top scholar blew his beard and stared at him.

Chuanlu is older, almost sixty, but he is not as pedantic as the top scholar. He laughed and said, "If young people are so angry, they will not be decent. Besides, they will be paraded on horseback, and they will be so lively."

Seeing Yan Tongzhu and Cheng Wende showing a look of agreement, the top scholar felt that he and these three were not the same as each other, and they were different from each other, and they were not incompatible with each other without any speculation. They turned their heads proudly and ignored the three of them.

Chuanlu's eyes flashed slightly. This was a stupid person who read books and read. As soon as he was in the hall, the few questions from the emperor showed that this Tanhualang's family background was not simple, the grandson of the Grand Tutor was already prominent, and the girl in Nanping who could be called a girl by the emperor must be a junior who was favored by the emperor. Even if she was not a princess, she was likely to be a princess.

Grandson of the Grand Tutor.

The son of the princess.

Even if you don’t have a good relationship, you shouldn’t offend me. Chuanlu is not very optimistic about the career of the top scholar. So what if you are talented? The officialdom is not only talented, but also good at being a good person and doing things.

Yan Tongzhu did not think it was offensive, and smiled faintly, reminding Banyan and Chuanlu, "You remember to wear flowers."

Only then did the two realize that most of the Jinshis behind received flowers thrown by the people and put them on their heads. Cheng Wende said enthusiastically, "Hurry up, let's put them on too."

Yan Tongzhu was not in a hurry. He was waiting for his little Fuxing sister to throw flowers at him, looking around, it was terrible. When he came out, he forgot to ask them which restaurant they had booked?

Yan Tongzhu had not found Yan Huo, but Gao Lan saw him. Gao Lan screamed, "Yan Tongzhu, Yan Tongzhu, I am here, I am here." While calling her, waving the handkerchief in her hand.

"Tanhualang, who is that girl you?" Cheng Wende asked with a gossip.

"A shameless person." Yan Tongzhu saw Gao Lan's face smelled like he had eaten a fly.

Although they didn't spend a long time together, Cheng Wende could see that Yan Tongzhu was not a difficult person to get along with. He could make a polite noble man speak ill of words, which shows that the woman must have done something despicable.

"Yan Tongzhu, I'll throw the flowers to you, you have to catch them!" Gao Lan shouted while throwing the red silk flower as big as a bowl in his hand at Yan Tongzhu.

Naturally, Yan Tongzhu couldn't pick up the flower. Not only did he not pick it up, he also deliberately pulled off the horse and stopped the horse. The flower fell in front of the horse. Yan Tongzhu shook the reins lightly, the horse moved forward, and the horse's hooves stepped on the silk flower, stomping the flower.

"Mom, he didn't pick up my flowers." Gao Lan cried,

"If you don't answer, don't answer." Gao Zhu said authentically.

"Mom." Gao Lan stamped her feet, "I fell in love with Yan Tongzhu at a glance. He is now Tanhua, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future. If I marry him, I will be the official wife. Mom, you can find someone to go to the Yan family and let the Yan family come to propose marriage."

Gao Zhu frowned, "Your second aunt said..."

"My second aunt couldn't stand us well. She asked Fenfang to follow the third son of the East Palace every day, but she didn't let me go, for fear that the third son would fall in love with me." Gao Lan interrupted her.

Gao Zhu gave birth to Gao Lan, a daughter. She was not a smart person. After hearing her daughter's words, she was a little dissatisfied with Zhu Shen. Besides, she also had the intention to compete with Zhu Shen. Zhu Fenfang could marry into the royal family, so why couldn't her daughter marry into a high-ranking official family?

"I will go to the Yan family in person tomorrow." Gao Zhu made up his mind.

"Thank you, mom." Gao Lan raised the corners of her mouth.

The new Jinshi team continued to move forward. Yan Tongzhu was thinking about what kind of flowers Yan Hu would let him wear, but he felt that he was hit by something. When he looked down, he saw that it was a small blue wild fruit.

"Don't lose fruit!" The yamen runner who maintained order shouted with a dark face.

Cheng Wende smiled and said, "I voted for me with papaya and repay it with Qiongju. If I don't repay it, I will always think it's good! If I voted for me with wood peach and repay it with Qiong Yao. If I don't repay it, I will always think it's good! If I voted for me with wood plum and repay it with Qiongju. If I don't repay it, I will always think it's good! Tanhualang, what are you going to repay it with this? What are you going to repay it with this? "

"Repay it with old fist." Yan Tongzhu smiled. Fortunately, it was Little Wild Fruit. If he really threw a big papaya, he would definitely be knocked unconscious.

Cheng Wende and Chuanlu laughed,

"Fourth brother, fourth brother." Yan Tongzhu looked in the voice and saw his little sister standing on the second floor, holding a blooming red peony in her hand. She didn't know where the little girl picked it.

"Little sister, throw it over." Yan Tongzhu waved to Yanhu.

His wave attracted a group of screams and cheers, and a pile of handkerchiefs, sachets, silk flowers, and flowers came to him overwhelmed. Yan Huo smiled, "Mom, the fourth brother is really popular."

"What's the use of being popular? I couldn't cheat me... I got back with a daughter-in-law." Princess Nanping disliked her son, but she was happy.

"Brother Zhu'er has passed the exam and will pass the exam soon. Don't worry." Mrs. Yan smiled and went to the window to look for her son.

"Little sister, hurry up." After Yan Tongzhu avoided the attack, he urged Yan Huo to say that the team was moving forward and he was about to walk over.

Yan Hu hurriedly threw the flower branches out. Yan Tongzhu raised his hand, caught the flower, and put the flower branches on his hat. When the team walked away, the Yan family left the restaurant and took a carriage home.

One hour later, when they arrived at the top scholar building, the new Jinshi crossed the horse and paraded the streets. This kind of glory was only once in their life, and they were unforgettable for their lives. The rankings have been announced, and these new Jinshi also felt like making friends with others.

The same subject is a kind of connection, and can also be supported by each other in the officialdom. In addition to the top scorer Tanhua, those new Jinshi who were in court were also surrounded by people. Entering the official career, the ranking of the imperial examination is not so important.

"You two can be awarded official positions directly, and I also have to take the imperial examination." Chuan Lu sighed.

Cheng Wende smiled and said, "You have passed the palace examination, why are you afraid of the court exam?"

Yan Tongzhu smiled and said, "My small name is Bingyi." Yan Tongzhu intends to make friends with the two, but as for Chuanlu, he has some thoughts, but so what?

Chuanlu also smiled and said, "I'm the little surname Ming and the courtesy name are Zitao."

"My small name is Chengwen." Cheng Wende smiled.

But everyone didn't talk for a long time, after all, there was a Qionglin Banquet to attend in the evening. When they got home, Yan Huo asked Yan Tongzhu for credit, "Fourth brother, I said that if you can illuminate the Tanhua, you will become Tanhua."

"Yes, thanks to my younger sister's Ji Yan, thank you little sister." Yan Tongzhu smiled.

"Open a private warehouse and pick gifts." Yan Huoke didn't thank him verbally, she wanted to be affordable.

Princess Nanping couldn't help laughing and crying, "This money-loving girl."

Yan Tongzhu said generously, "What do you like, please choose."

"Thank you, Fourth Brother." Yan Huo said with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid that this girl will empty your private warehouse?" Princess Nanping asked with a smile.

"Empty it, just move it, as long as the little sister is happy." Yan Tongzhu smiled.

The brother and sister have a good relationship, so Princess Nanping is happy to see her and doesn't say anything. Besides, her daughter is also a person who knows how to behave and will never emptie her brother's private warehouse.

In the evening, Yan Tongzhu went to Qionglin Garden to attend the Qionglin Banquet. The Qionglin Banquet can also be called a feast of grace and honor, and is a gift from the emperor. According to convention, the emperor would refer to the founding heroes to host the banquet. This is not biased by the emperor. Several dukes took turns to preside over the presidency. This year it was Duke Ping's turn.

Those attending the banquet, whether they are new Jinshi or civil and military officials, must wear a flower on their heads, and a sign must be hung on the flower branches, which are engraved with the three words "Enrong Banquet". Yan Tongzhu is Tanhua, and his sign is like other Jinshi, is a bronze medal. Only the top scholar is a silver medal, which shows the court's preferential treatment for the top scholar.

When Duke Ping saw Yan Tongzhu, he happily patted his shoulder, "You are not bad, not bad." The grandson of his sister is not much different from his grandson.

The Enrong Banquet is mainly about eating, drinking, chatting, and contacting feelings. At this banquet, there is another purpose, that is, ministers should consider their son-in-law or grandson-in-law. As for whether the emperor will choose a son-in-law from it, this is not very clear, because there is no new Jinshi Shangzhu for the time being.

When the auspicious time arrived, after Duke Ping led the new Jinshi to hold a ceremony, everyone sat down according to their status, with the top scorer, the second scorer, the second scorer, and the other four Jinshis.

After the banquet, everyone left Qionglinyuan and returned home. As for which Jinshi was attracted by others, it is unknown for the time being.

The next day, Yan Huo took a handful of jade abacus that he had taken out from Yan Tongzhu's private warehouse and settled the accounts while reviewing the account book. Princess Nanping sat beside him and beat walnuts to eat. "The jade abacus is beautiful and useful, that is, you kid to settle the accounts, which is a waste of resources."

"Abacus is used to settle accounts. Putting it there is called waste." Yan Huo said authentically.

The mother and daughter were having a quarrel, and the maid came in, "Princess, Mrs. Gao is asking for a meeting."

"What will happen if my cousin's wife comes here?" Princess Nanping thought it was Gao Zijun's mother and the two families didn't have much contact. Mrs. Gao came here and would definitely not go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble.

Princess Nanping went to the living room and found the woman sitting there. She didn't know her, "Who are you?"

"Hello, princess, my husband is a doctor. My mother's surname is Zhu, and my second sister-in-law is the sister of the crown princess." Gao Zhu revealed his identity.

Princess Nanping has a good memory and remembers the past immediately. Her eyes were slightly cold. She sat down on the chair and did not ask her maid to exchange for hot tea. "What's wrong with Mrs. Gao coming?"

Gao Zhu smiled and said, "Princess, this is the case. My little girl is about fourteen years old and looks..."

"How much your little girl looks has nothing to do with this princess." Princess Nanping never expected that the Gao family was so unqualified, so the female family came to discuss the marriage directly.

Gao Zhu thought of a lot of words to promote his daughter. As soon as he started, he was interrupted by Princess Nanping. He was stunned for a moment and regained his strength. "Princess, son..."

"What's wrong with my son, it has nothing to do with you." Princess Nanping interrupted her again.

"No, Princess, I'm here to talk to you about the marriage between the two families." Gao Zhu said quickly.

"Miss, my son has no blessing to live up to it. Mrs. Gao, please go back." Princess Nanping refused concisely and issued an order to expel guests. The wife of such a low-ranking official lost her social status.

"Princess, this man is married when he is old, and a woman is married when he is old. My Lan'er and your son are about to be together. This is a good match for two people." Gao Zhu talked to himself.

"Mrs. Gao, a toad cannot eat swan meat. This princess's son is not something your daughter can covet." Princess Nanping picked up the teacup and said, "Come, send Mrs. Gao out."

Gao Zhu refused to leave like this, "Princess, please consider it again. My Lan'er, she is really well-behaved, she is worthy..."

"Call this person out for me." Princess Nanping shouted sternly.

Gao Zhu was driven out, and Princess Nanping ordered the disciple not to let this person enter the door again.

Princess Nanping did not tell Yan Huo or mention it to Yan Tongzhu. She blamed Yan Siye, "What are you doing? You have never forgotten, why is this Gao surnamed still in Beijing? Get him away and let him get out with his wife and daughter who are not clear about it."

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, I haven't forgotten this matter. Wait. In half a month, the family named Gao will get out of the capital." Master Yan Si comforted her.

"Okay, I'll wait." Princess Nanping then calmed down, "Half a month later, if you can't do it well, I'll tell my father and the king."

"It must be done." Master Yan Si promised.
