Travel to ancient times and make a fortune

Chapter 188 Tanhualang

As expected, Li Qingsong entered the top ten.

When the top ten were interviewed by the emperor, it was already the end of time.

An interview means that the Emperor will question ten people in random order on the spot. The questions may be the same or different, depending on the mood of the interviewer, His Majesty the Emperor.

The final ranking of the top ten is determined by the emperor based on the results of the interview.

Therefore, the top ten are often the ones that change the most in the imperial examination rankings compared to the general examination rankings, and a big reversal is very likely!

Li Dashan and Li Yuan had just changed out of the soiled clothes in the field when the news official beat gongs and drums to announce the good news, saying that it was Dalang Li's high school sweetheart.

The two of them could be said to be confused, and they didn't realize what happened for a long time.

Doesn't my son know how to take the fifth exam? Why did he take part in the palace exam and become the most beautiful man?

Fortunately, Li Xiao was still conscious. He gave the official a big red envelope and invited people to drink tea before sending them away.

Because the news of the good news was not small, many people from the nearby neighborhood gathered around Li's house and politely said congratulations.

Li Xiao asked Li Gang to take some candies out and share them with the neighbors, which was a happy celebration.

Li Qingsong had to come back later. According to the usual practice, candidates who participated in the palace examination, regardless of their scores, as "emperor's disciples", would attend the palace banquet that day.

When Li Qingsong returned home, it was already the end of the Youshi period.

The family got together and talked about the imperial examination.

Only then did Li Xiao know that He Yiming was indeed selected as the number one scholar by the emperor as Ouyang Yiyun said. The second place was You Zichang from Mingyuan Academy and the third place in the examination.

As for the candidate in his 40s who came second in the examination, he fell directly to eighth.

Another surprising thing is that among the top ten in the palace examination, five places were taken by students from Gaoshan Academy. I am afraid that in less than a day, Gaoshan Academy will become a hot topic.

At the beginning of the second day, the main street began to become lively. For no other reason than the number one scholar began to parade!

It is said that the number one scholar is parading, but he is not the only one.In Dali, according to the usual practice, students from Grade [-] and above will be in the procession, but the number one scholar is wearing a big red flower and is in the most conspicuous place in the procession.

130 Three energetic students, riding tall horses, were walking slowly on the street. On both sides were people watching the excitement. In the teahouses and restaurants on both sides of the street, many young ladies were secretly watching.

Li Xiao also hid in a teahouse to watch the excitement.

Suddenly, an unknown lady threw a sachet into the parade from upstairs, hitting a student in blue.

This time, as if a switch was turned on, more and more sachets flew down from the second-floor window of the shop facing the street, as if for free.

"My dear, are you so popular?" Li Xiao clicked his tongue when he saw this.

"Since there is such a thing as 'catching a son-in-law under the ranking', this 'number one sachet' is not surprising." The speaker was Ouyang Yiyun.

"I remember back then, my third brother was hit in the corner of the eye by a sachet and it hurt for two days!" As he said this, he seemed to have thought of something funny and laughed softly.

Ouyang Yiyun's third brother, Ouyang Yiyu, was ranked second in the rankings that year, and because of his outstanding appearance, he was given 'special attention' by the ladies upstairs when he was parading.

The sachet is light and difficult to throw, so the ladies will add a little silver nugget into the sachet. If the nugget hits someone, wouldn't it be painful?

Li Xiao listened to Ouyang Yiyun's words and started laughing together. The atmosphere between the two was extremely good.So much so that Li Dashan, after watching his son's "Highlight Moment", turned around and saw a picture of "Long Love and Concubine", bah, a hungry wolf staring at a little white rabbit.

Ouyang Yiyun was smiling, looking at the cheerful little girl in front of him, and suddenly felt a chill on his back. When he turned around, he saw his future father-in-law looking at him with an unkind expression.

Suppressing his smile, Ouyang Yiyun said sarcastically, "Uncle Li, has the parade passed?"

"You can't see the shadow for a long time!" As he said, he strode back to his seat and sat down. He picked up the cup and drank the tea in the cup.

"You drink like cow, does it smell bad?" Li Yuan rolled his eyes at his man, then turned to look at Ouyang Yiyun and Li Xiao.

"Your father and I will go back in a while. If you still want to play, you can play for a while longer and have lunch at home!" The latter sentence was obviously addressed to Ouyang Yiyun.

"Why are you still playing? Let's go home together, Xiaoxiao!" Li Dashan just protested, but was pinched and had to shut up.

Li Xiao looked at his mother's little movements and said to his father with a smile: "Dad, you and your mother will go back first. We will play for a while and then go back."

As if knowing that his father still wanted to talk, Li Xiao said again: "I'm going to buy a gift for my eldest brother. Our prostitute must choose the gift carefully!"

Hearing this, Li Dashan didn't want to say anything else. He only told his daughter to be careful on the road and go home early.

But when he left, he looked back at Ouyang Yiyun a few times, which made Ouyang Yiyun's spine tingle.

"Haha, when were you so afraid of my dad?" Li Xiao did not miss the glare between Li Dashan and Ouyang Yiyun.

"That's your future father-in-law, how can you not be afraid?" Ouyang Yiyun muttered in a low voice, which made Li Xiao feel happy again.

The two of them stayed in the teahouse for a while. When the noise outside became quieter and people were almost dispersed, they got up and left.

Li Xiao said that he wanted to choose a gift for Li Qingsong, not as an excuse to stall Li Dashan, but because he had an idea from the beginning.

But I looked in many places and couldn't find a satisfactory gift.

I had no choice but to pick a good inkstone and a good ink first, and continue the treasure hunt with Ouyang Yiyun.

"I do have an orphan copy, why don't you get it and give it to your elder brother?" Ouyang Yiyun said with a smile.

"Brother? Did you wake up early?" Li Xiao laughed, but still asked with some interest: "What book will eldest brother like?"

"Yes, definitely yes!" Ouyang Yiyun vowed.

"Then, go?"

So, the little rabbit Li Xiao was brought back to the palace by the hungry wolf Ouyang Yiyun.

Li Dashan, who had just returned home, felt his eyelids twitching so much before he even got off the carriage. He rubbed his eyes and muttered: "Why do these eyelids keep twitching?"

"Fortune jumps out of your left eye, something good is going to happen to you!" Li Yuan glanced at her husband who was rubbing his eyes and said casually.

"Hey, you want to get rich recently? Why?" Li Dashan muttered, rubbed it a few times, and found that his eyelids were still twitching, so he ignored it.

Since he was going to get rich, he thought he had to celebrate his son's graduation from high school.

After discussion, the couple decided to give each servant in the family a red envelope of half a tael of silver, and then add a set of summer clothes to celebrate together.
