capital girl

Chapter 71

Li Yulou looked at the old man who was squinting and wasn't afraid, because she thought his eyes might just be closed and he wasn't really blind.

She just felt embarrassed, after all, she was talking about people behind their backs.

"Are you here today to count the marriage?"

Li Yulou's cheeks were slightly hot, her marriage with Shi Yu was destined, there was no need to count it, but since she came, let it be counted.

What's more, it was Shi Yu who brought her here, Shi Yu wanted to count.

The old Taoist asked for the birthday horoscopes of Meng Shiyu and Li Yulou, moved his fingers and began to count seriously, still muttering words.

After about two quarters of an hour, the old Taoist just stopped.

"The horoscopes of the two noblemen belong to Jinmu Chengxing, the fate of supporting each other, especially the little lady, who will help Xiaolangjun all her life...just..."

The old Taoist muttered a lot of good things, and then raised his tone with a twist.

Li Yulou is also used to this kind of deceptive trick of raising first and then lowering, so it is not surprising, he took out a small piece of silver from his purse, "That's all, if you want to say it, say it, if you don't say it, don't say it... ...no more."

The old man was stunned for a moment, the little girl didn't play the cards according to the routine at all, and he couldn't continue acting.

The old man squinted his eyes and looked at Meng Shiyu, and said to himself, you didn't say that this little lady is so powerful.

The old Taoist took the money without hesitation, "However, you have to get married on the sixth day of September, otherwise there will be unexpected disasters!"

"The sixth day of September..." Li Yulou thought about how many days it is today, and said immediately, "Then there are only ten days left..."

The old Taoist nodded pretendingly, "Both the young lady and the young gentleman have unspeakable fates, and there must be many people who miss them. Only by cooking raw rice into cooked rice can this disaster be resolved!"

Li Yulou stared at the old man's face, although he didn't believe it in his heart, but he didn't feel comfortable if he didn't follow suit, just like a good suet white jade bracelet with a touch of emerald green.

"I think this day is very good..." Meng Shiyu said suddenly.

"Hey..." the old Daoist shouted in a long voice, "Poverty Daoist will give the two nobles to approve the horoscope, and then write the auspicious day on it..."

The old Taoist immediately began to write as if he had a spirit.

Li Yulou felt that the time was too short, although,...

Meng Shiyu gave another piece of silver to the old man, and Li Yulou felt distressed for a moment when he saw that there was two taels.

Li Yulou returned to the mansion with the birthday post written by the old Taoist.

However, in the evening, two more matchmakers came to Li's house with the birthday post approved by the Taoist priest.

Zhang Xiulan and Li Xu were stunned again for a moment, they never thought that things would develop so quickly.

Because they just came to Kyoto, they still have chicken feathers all over the place.

But Meng Shiyu was already so sincere, and it was difficult for them to refuse, so the matter was settled like this.

The two matchmakers brought gifts and the invitation period was over, and the official wedding date was set, the sixth day of September.

Li Yulou didn't expect the wedding date to come so soon, so she hurriedly sewed her wedding dress.

Before dawn on the second day, Meng Shiyu, No. [-], Tanhua, and several students who excelled in the hall examination went to the Ziji Hall to face the saint.

This is the first time for these students to enter the palace and go to the Ziji Hall.The palace examination is actually held in the Gongyuan, and the emperor may not go there in many cases.

Several students had weak legs and could hardly walk halfway.

Meng Shiyu was calm, with steady steps and a tall and straight figure, as if walking in the backyard of the college.

Several other students secretly admired him, no wonder he was the number one scholar, his demeanor and demeanor were far behind.

The students entered the Ziji Hall and knelt down to salute.

The emperor praised a few words with a smile on his face, and other adults praised the auspicious words that the emperor got a talent, the country will be stable in the future, and the people will be peaceful.

After kneeling and worshiping, the students were taken out of the Ziji Hall, and red silk, red flowers, and festive clothes were distributed in a side hall next to them.

After discussing the matter with all the ministers, the emperor left Ziji Hall to go to Zhaixing Pavilion.

Zhaixing Pavilion is adjacent to Gulou Street. From the Zhaixing Pavilion, you can have a panoramic view of Gulou Street.

The emperor is now planning to build the Feifeng Pavilion for the imperial concubine.

The Feifeng Pavilion is taller and more luxurious, but it is strongly opposed by the ministers, so it is not easy to put it on the agenda at this time.

If the Feifeng Pavilion is repaired, as long as you are in the harem, you can clearly see the number one scholar parading the street with clairvoyance, and you don't have to go far in a sedan chair.

Just as the emperor came out of the Ziji Hall and was about to board the sedan chair to go to the Xingxing Pavilion, King Yan walked up to the emperor with a smile and said, "Father, my son wants to accompany the number one scholar on the street."

"You're going to parade..." The emperor looked at King Yan with a smile on his face.

The fourth prince Jin Wang standing next to him remained calm, as if he didn't see Yan Wang's coquettishness and the emperor's favor.

"Your Majesty, this is unreasonable...

"Censor Zhongcheng Master Zhang immediately came out and said.

King Yan lowered his head and grinned at Master Zhang.

Doctor Yushi ignored King Yan's gaze and continued to fight on the grounds that there was no such precedent before.

"Father, I am your most beloved son. If my son takes the lead in riding a horse through the streets, the people will definitely feel that Father, you value your students..." King Yan said.

The emperor hesitated for a while, but finally agreed to King Yan's request.

Censor Master Zhang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the emperor, "Master Zhang, don't say any more."

A group of officials followed the emperor to the Zhaixing Pavilion.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were about to announce the start of the champion parade, but they were stopped by the eunuch who rushed over, saying that King Yan was going to lead the new scholars to parade.

So the crowd waited for almost half an hour before the King Yan arrived.

King Yan wears a jade crown, a purple brocade robe with Feiyun sauce, high auspicious cloud boots, and a maroon sweat-blooded BMW, which is super eye-catching.

The expressions of those new Jinshi were a little gloomy, King Yan was about to steal the limelight.

Several Jinshi were worried that they were dressed too nicely.

Only Meng Shiyu was wearing a half-worn robe and a simple hairpin on his head, but he had a calm demeanor, and his temperament was not inferior to King Yan's brocade clothes and jade belt.

King Yan glanced at Meng Shiyu coldly, and said in a calm tone, "I didn't expect you to win the number one prize..."

"Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch." Meng Shiyu replied in a flat tone.

"You can get the number one scholar, but, woman, you can't get it..." The third prince's face was cold, and there was evil spirit in his eyes.

"What's mine is mine..." Meng Shiyu looked at King Yan with an unusually flat expression.

The official from the Ministry of Rituals came over with a bow, "Your Highness, the Zhaixing Pavilion urged us, let's go!"

King Yan glanced at Meng Shiyu like a knife, and then flew on his horse, his brocade robe fluttering like white clouds in the sky swaying in the wind.

King Yan rode at the front on horseback, followed by the No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], Tan Hua...

Zhou Ying hurriedly came to Li's house in a carriage early in the morning to see her friend.

"Jade Tower..."

"Aying..."

The two girls were very happy to see each other, hugging each other and bouncing around.

"Why didn't you tell me when you came to the capital, I heard about it from my brother..." Zhou Yingjue said angrily, holding Li Yulou's hand with her mouth open.
