Chapter 128: Now
Since there was someone to welcome him, the candidates got off the carriage and walked like Xue Qing, but they didn't go very far. The first one was to welcome twenty tall horses.
"Please get on the horse, juren."
The drummer waiting on the side shouted exaggeratedly, without waiting for the candidates to refuse, the grooms rushed forward and pulled them up with some rude rudeness. After pulling everyone on the horse, the drummer Ulala played, and the people on both sides walked towards the city gate amid cheers.
It is not uncommon for Chang'an Mansion to parade on horseback, but it is not so popular that you can parade on horseback without red, or wear flowers, or even have new clothes. This is the first time that you can parade in ragged clothes.
But no one noticed their clothes, because the brilliance of human beings overshadowed the appearance.
Seeing these twenty candidates riding on horseback in the crowd cheering and riding on horseback, the officials of Chang'an Prefecture standing by the roadside looked different, and an official couldn't help but walk to Prefect Li.
"Sir, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" he whispered.
After all, the results of the gentleman's test are determined by the moral test. At this time, they are regarded as juren, and may not be the case in the future, so it will be unfavorable. This is why although they came, they did not come forward to greet them.
Li Guangyuan twisted his short beard and looked at the candidates walking surrounded by the people, saying, "Do they have nothing to do with the present in the future? They are now. Since they are now, they can certainly enjoy the cheers. The present is the present. No matter what happens in the future, they cannot erase the present."
After saying that, he nodded to the road.
The official looked at him and saw that Xue Qing was walking in the middle of the journey to Magistrate Li. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the young man was despised slightly, his spine was straight, and his demeanor was generous... At the top of the list, the official thought.
No matter what, all the candidates in Chang'an Prefecture were selected for this gentleman's examination, and Xue Qing was the top of the list... Everyone actually knew in their hearts that this gentleman's examination was originally held for the Prince of Xiliang, but if the Prince of Xiliang really got the top of the exam, then the whole Zhou Dynasty would be embarrassing. Fortunately, Xue Qing...
With this, you can also enjoy the city of Chang'an City.
The official also smiled and nodded at the boy who was on the horse. The boy was extremely polite... and he also wrote a letter from Huangshadao to come back to Prefect Li. Although the government had its own information, his actions really expressed his respect.
"…Xue Qing, tell me how he beat Prince Xiliang!"
There were shouts in the crowd, and all kinds of inquiries were noisy and chaotic. Of course, Xue Qing could not really tell it in public, and just nodded with a smile and followed the team forward.
"I know how to win and how to take the exam." A voice sounded from the crowd.
People around him looked over and saw that it was a scholar in a blue shirt and robe, which was not very eye-catching among the crowd.
"How do you know?" someone asked if he didn't believe it.
"Because I am his husband... Xue Qing wrote a letter to tell me how to take the exam." Mr. Zhou said with his beard, his voice remained calm and low-key, but the pride of his eyebrows could not be concealed.
The gentleman at Xue’s list is naturally very powerful to teach such a student, and is surrounded by everyone.
"...is the gentleman of Liudao Quanshan Society..."
"... Will the social science school recruit students next year?"
The crowd was even more noisy and chaotic. Xue Qing had already walked along with the team. Looking back, the crowd couldn't see who was who, but their joys and praises were all clear and true... I wish this was true.
I am really just Xue Qing, and I really got to the top of the list. Even if I stop there, I will definitely be worry-free when I start a school in the future.
Xue Qing smiled, thinking that she had been arranged wholeheartedly for her future a few months ago, but she would not come in the future in a blink of an eye... But the future is still in the future. She looked at the vast crowd in front of her, why should she worry about it?
Live in the present.
All these things are real right now. These people and these things are real. Who can say that this is fake? This is real when she, Xue Qing, is real at this moment, who dares to say that she is not real!
Xue Qingkong's hand holding the reins clenched into a fist, and she would hit someone.
A familiar voice came from his ears. Xue Qing turned his head and looked forward. Someone in the rushing crowd was undulating like a boat.
"Ao Qingzi!"
"Brother Qingzi!"
As the relatives came, Xue Qing's smile on her face became stronger and she urged her horse.
...
...
I dare not say how many people are happy in Chang'an City tonight. At least twenty families are definitely like this. These twenty households have held banquets, and those with riches have a big meal, and those with no money have a little extra dish. Some are happy and those with joy and laugh happily.
Liu Chunyang stood beside Old Master Liu, looking at the crowded people in the yard, listening to the praises coming like a tide... The banquet lasted as long as their praise lasted. Liu Chunyang became the focus of the Liu clan for the first time, his face first smiled and then turned white... They were not tired, he was exhausted when he heard it.
Until Old Master Liu got tired of hearing this, he waved his hand and everyone dispersed like a tide... Liu Chunyang could not disperse, and there were only a few close people left in the yard.
"Chunyang, it's done well." Old Master Liu patted his waist and said with a smile.
From entering the house to now, Liu Chunyang can finally say something. He hesitated and bowed to Mr. Liu: "Fortunately, my grandson passed the gentleman's test and glorified his ancestors... My grandson strives to study hard, but my grandson is dull. Next year's test will disappoint my grandfather..."
Old Master Liu interrupted him and said, "What are you thinking? How could you disappoint me?"
Alas? Grandfather looked down on him so highly... Liu Chunyang looked up.
"…. Lao Qi." Old Master Liu stopped looking at him and said to a master beside him, "... Inquire about the market conditions of the test and see how much money it will cost."
Master Liu Qi calculated with his hands and felt a little frowning: "The price of the psychometric test must be much higher, which is different from the gentleman's test... 50,000 taels of silver probably won't work."
Five...50,000 taels! Liu Chunyang's eyes widened. What does it mean? It's not what he imagined?
Liu Wuer next to him laughed and said, "Brother, do you think he passed the gentleman exam?" He gave the tea to Mr. Liu.
Liu Chunyang stood there a little confused, and then suddenly realized, muttering no wonder. He was not as good as others, and he missed another subject. He thought he had suddenly become more powerful, but it turned out that the examiner was dizzy... Fortunately, Liu Chunyang breathed a sigh of relief, he was still a normal self.
Here, Liu Wu'er handed over tea and acted coquettishly at Old Master Liu, fearing that Old Master Liu would not be willing to pay the money.
"Brother has passed the gentleman's test, and it's just one step away from the test. It's a pity." She said coquettishly, full of expectations.
Old Master Liu joked, "You might as well hope that I would use money to smash the examiner and prevent Xue Qing from passing the exam. If he passed the exam, he would marry the Guo family's daughter as promised." He nodded again at this point, "This method is good..." He seemed to have to consider it seriously.
Liu Chunyang blurted out: "This is not possible!"
Old Master Liu hated others the most and said no, and immediately glared: "Why can't it be? Is it better to be the top scorer than to be my son-in-law?"
"No, it's not this..." Liu Chunyang couldn't say anything, and just gritted his teeth, "Anyway, no..." He looked at Old Master Liu again, "Grandfather, you should not think about Xue Qing's affairs..."
Old Master Liu sneered: "No, I like to do things that cannot be done."
Liu Wuer also smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry. Even if Xue Qing wins the top scorer, she won't like that fool Guo Baoer." He pinched a silk handkerchief and looked at Old Master Liu, "Grandfather, you don't have to make things difficult for Xue Qing. I will definitely make him like me."
The only one who is so arrogant is the Liu family. Old Master Liu nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's true, don't pay attention to the Guo family, the whole family is a fool."
Liu Chunyang raised his hand to cover his face.
Who is stupid...
...
...
With a clamor, Xue Qing walked out of the bathtub, and her round shoulders shone under the misty lights on both sides. She lost weight and her figure became longer, she took off all her constraints, and her curves were completely exquisite.
The long legs move, the barefoot step on the ground, the water goes down like a ball, and lotus flowers bloom on the ground.
A low scream came from the side.
Not amazed by beauty.
