Chapter 47
After the roll call of the people in the Golden Palace, the emperor hand-picked the number one scholar, the second place, and the third prize. According to the usual practice, the emperor bestowed the honor of a high-ranking horse and a tour of the streets.

The number one scholar Fang Xiu led all the Jinshi to thank the emperor, put on a black gauze hat with golden flowers on his head, put on a big red robe as a reward, rode on a tall horse with big red flowers hanging on his chest, and left the palace gate.

The number one scholar, the second place and the third prize all have the honor of riding a horse. The second-class Jinshi and the third-class fellow Jinshi are envious. They only have to walk, but even so, today is still a good day to honor their ancestors.

Wan Jinlan and Wan Jinyu didn't wait long in front of the window of the Wangjiang Tower, when they saw a huge crowd coming from the other side of the street.

Simply put, the roads in Kyoto are spacious, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate the common people who followed along to watch the excitement.

Wan Jinlan saw Wan Zhijing with sharp eyes.

Today's elder brother, wearing a red robe, is sitting on a tall horse, holding a hand-picked imperial edict in his hand, with a smile on his serious face. Mian Langjun.Standing among a group of Jinshi, her brother was the most eye-catching.

Wan Jinlan suddenly felt that today's brother seemed to be a different person.

From far to near, drums and music played together, with extraordinary style, pedestrians gave way one after another, joined the line of spectators and followed the parade, and the Jinshi who were named on the gold list were all beaming and smiling.

There are those who are bold, and those who throw handkerchiefs and flowers on Jinshi.

Wan Zhijing raised his eyes and saw his sister by the window, and raised his lips into a smile, which aroused the excitement of the little ladies on the street, and some even threw peanuts on him.

The crowds on the street moved with the Jinshi, and when the Jinshi disappeared on the street, the street became empty.

Wan Jinlan was about to look away from the window, when she saw a familiar person, and took a closer look, it was Wu Ye, the son of the Kangping county lord.

At this time, Wu Ye was wearing gray single clothes, the clothes were hanging loosely on his body, and he was holding a jug of wine in his hand, pouring it into his mouth, probably because he was too drunk, he staggered and fell to the ground for a long time Did not get up.

When Wan Jinlan met him for the first time, he was still a melancholy person facing the wind. When he met him again at Huayan Temple, he became a vigorous scholar.

"What? Did he fail?"

Wan Jinyu shook her head and sighed: "I don't know whether he is pitiful or lucky. Because of his father's implication, all his previous imperial examination results were invalidated, and he will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination or become an official in the future. He should have been beheaded like the Wu family's children. Yes, it was Linjiang County King's plea, so the Holy Majesty just let him go."

Wan Jinlan sighed in her heart, thinking on the bright side, Wu Ye could be considered to have saved his life.But he should have a brighter future...

When the two were about to look away, a thin figure came out of the Wangjiang Tower coughing lightly, and slowly walked up to Wu Ye who was lying on the ground, and bent down to help Wu Ye up.

"Mr. Wu, it's cold on the ground, and it's easy to get sick. I'll order someone to send Mr. Wu back home."

Wu Ye didn't even open his eyes, and said with a painful face: "As I am, it doesn't matter if you are sick or not! Living is worse than dying."

Xiao Nian sighed deeply: "Only people like me who have been ill for a long time can appreciate the benefits of good health. I envy Mr. Wu."

Sensing the gaze from upstairs, Xiao Nianshen raised his head calmly and nodded politely towards Wan Jinlan and Wan Jinyu, and then helped Wu Ye into the carriage without haste.

Wu Ye opened his eyes, saw Xiao Nianshen who had met once, struggled to get up and cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Shizi Xiao."

Wu Ye's face was gloomy, and his tone was difficult, "Why does Xiao Shizi help me, a useless person, just let me talk on the side of the street, it's good, at least I don't have to go back home and let my mother see my unfilial son, and shed tears every day .”

Xiao Nianshen's complexion was pale, and his tone was gentle and tolerant: "Time is long, but busy people rush themselves; the world is wide, but humble people are narrow, brother Wu might as well open his eyes to the long term, the current predicament will not be a problem."

Wu Ye was intelligent, and a flash of light flashed in his mind, but he couldn't catch it for a while, but his expression became much clearer.

Xiao Nianshen said again: "I've read quite a few travel notes, and I really like a line in it, so I'll tell it to Mr. Wu today."

"There are three thousand roads, all of which lead to the sky."

Wan Zhijing was hand-picked as Tanhua Lang, and Zhen Guogong was congratulated by his colleagues for a whole day. After returning to the mansion, he was all red-faced.Even meeting Xiao Minghuan at the mansion didn't affect his mood.

Xiao Minghuan came to the door today with a gift just to congratulate Wan Zhijing.

It was almost lunch time when he came to the house, and he ate a meal in the mansion, but he dragged it off until it was almost dinner time by the pretext of asking Wan Zhijing for advice.

With regards to Huayan Temple, Wan Zhijing had an opinion on Xiao Minghuan, and he didn't have much contact with him on weekdays, which can be regarded as an expression of his attitude, but today, after returning home, he was so entangled that he couldn't get away .

As soon as Wan Zhijing heard that the boy reported that a classmate was looking for him, he bowed his hands and said sorry before leaving.

Wan Zhijing heaved a sigh of relief when he got away, and Wan Qiuyu let the maid stare at Xiao Minghuan all the time, seeing that he was on the order, he was also heaved a sigh of relief.

The mansion was full of joy today, Wan Qiuyu was able to relax for a day, and heard that when King Duan entered the mansion, he had been looking for an opportunity to get close to him.

Finally, the time came for her to wait.

At the corner at the end of the corridor, Wan Qiuyu boldly stopped Xiao Minghuan.

Xiao Minghuan has always been very gentle in the palace, even when he treats the servants of the palace, he is very angry.

Not only for people in the government, but as long as he is outside, he is like this, so he has won the reputation of a dignified gentleman in Beijing.

At this moment, he had doubts on his face, and asked kindly: "My lady, what's the matter with you?"

He knew that the government had recovered the concubine daughter who had been lost when she was young, and the news from the government was that she had been adopted by a farm family.

At this time, Xiao Minghuan looked up and down Wan Qiuyu's appearance, and his heart became interested.For beauty, he believes that there is no man who does not love.

Wan Qiuyu had been trained by the nanny in the manor, and every day when she dressed, she would wrap her chest with white silk, although the wrapping was not too tight, it was not comfortable.The dresses she wore also didn't show her waist, and at a glance, she also looked dignified and ladylike.

Wan Qiuyu knew that since she had already returned to the Duke's mansion and had the status of Miss Duke's mansion, if she didn't want to be despised by others in the future, she had to forget her past self. At least, she had to do this before she got married.

Her aunt had revealed that the government was planning to find a place for her to marry some distance from the capital, and was already looking for a candidate.

Her aunt said that with the family status of the Duke's mansion, the family she finds will not wrong her, and she must be a decent lady when she marries.

But she is not happy!
She lived a new life and was destined to become a master, so how could she hastily marry in another place.

She was also impatient, otherwise she wouldn't have come directly to block the way so boldly.
