Idle courtiers

Chapter 483
The so-called Chuanlu Ceremony is actually the emperor’s roll call at the Jinluan Hall. After hand-picking the No. [-], No. [-], Tanhua and Jinshi, the No. [-] scholar will lead the Jinshi to thank the emperor for his kindness, and then go to the left gate of Chang’an to watch the process of posting the gold list and returning home. .

The three people in front of Yijia had already changed into auspicious clothes, and the three rode forward slowly on a bay red horse.

The whole journey of Liang Ma Kua Street is like this: from the Jinluan Palace to the left gate of Chang’an, one must pass through the Meridian Gate, Duanmen, and Chengfengtian Gate before arriving at the left gate of Chang’an in the northeast corner of Daming Gate.

Zhou Nan and Wang Xijue followed behind on horseback.

In a short while, they arrived at the left gate of Chang'an amidst the sound of drums.

A colorful shed has been set up over there, which is called the dragon shed.Please come out with the yellow list and put it in the shed.

Under the leadership of the number one scholar, Shen Shixing, all the Jinshi looked at the list, and then Shuntian Fu Yin arranged flowers and red silk for the number one scholar.

Many common people had already stood on the street to watch the fun.

However, the number one scholar, Shen Shixing, was wearing a black gauze hat with golden flowers and a scarlet python robe, with a sullen face, holding the hand-picked imperial edict in his hands, straddling a horse with a golden saddle and a vermilion mane, clearing the way in front of him.He has regained his calm now, and he has returned to the appearance of an honest gentleman.

When the people saw the team coming, they burst into cheers.Then there was the gun salute, which was endlessly lively.

On the street, colored lights were lit early, and countless red firecracker debris danced with the wind.

Lao Zhou and classmate Xiao Wang didn't talk too much, they just cared about watching the excitement.

On the contrary, Wang Xijue couldn't stop looking at Zhou Nan with an angry expression on his face.

Feeling his gaze, Zhou Nan felt a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Wang Nian, what are you looking at?"

Wang Xijue: "I'm looking at what it means to be crowned with a monkey, and what is it to mean that virtue does not match?"

Zhou Nan was furious: "My surname is Wang. Today is our day of great joy. I don't care about you. Who do you think is a monkey?" Compete with me, how ugly is the eating. If it weren’t for someone’s good words and advice, you would have fallen into the miscellaneous stream, which is an indelible stain on your life. Now that you are in the second place, not only do you not appreciate me, but instead Hurting words, you are just a villain. At that time, your appearance was like that of a monkey!"

Hearing that there was an argument in the back, Shen Shixing turned his head and gave the two of them a majestic look: "You two young brothers, stop arguing. Zimu and Yuan Yu, is it time to argue?"

Zhou Nan: "Ru Mo, you are a gentleman, so don't worry about this matter, I'd like to argue with friend Wang."

Wang Xijue's face turned red when Zhou Nan found out that he was going to the Daolu Department to be a minister. This is a great embarrassment!

He also shouted: "Xu Shixing, it's none of your business. The surname Zhou, you talk about me. Aren't you also from a miscellaneous background, and you are among gentlemen like me, don't you feel ashamed? This stain on you It can’t be erased no matter what. By the way, you seem to be from the subordinate staff, and we are ashamed to work with him.”

In front of so many people at the Grand Ceremony of Biography, No. [-] and Tanhua were torn apart. This was the first time in the history of the Ming Dynasty.The Xinke Scholars behind looked at each other, dumbfounded.

People in the Ministry of Rites were afraid of Zhou Nan's background, so they dared not speak.

The people behind your lord this week are really terrible. The chief minister of the cabinet, our immediate boss Yan Dazongbo, His Royal Highness Princess Jiashan, and the emperor, we can't bear a word from any one of them.

Shen Shixing, as the leader of a group of Jinshi, continued: "Can't you say one less thing?"

Zhou Nan: "Let me finish."

Wang Xijue rolled Shen Shixing's eyes directly: "Shut up!"

Shen Shixing is an honest man, stuttering: "You, you, you... you... Madam, it's too embarrassing."

Zhou Nan looked at Wang Xijue: "It doesn't matter if I have any stains on my body, people's hearts have their own justice."

"People's hearts, in the eyes of scholars and people, you are just a rascal." Wang Xijue mocked Zhou Nan.

At this time, there was a sudden tsunami-like shout from the front: "The champion is here, the champion is here!"

It turned out that those who shouted were all the people who came out to watch the excitement.

The Zhuangyuan Gongshen Shixing was the protagonist of this show on Ma Kua Street. Seeing the countless heads in front of him, Xu Zhuangyuan puffed up his chest excitedly, and the bright red flower on his chest became more vivid.

"Look, that's it, that's Zhou Zimu!"

"Zhou Zimu is here!"

Someone screamed.

Everyone was taken aback, the champion was Xu Shixing, why did everyone call Zhou Nianxiong's name?

Zhou Nan was also surprised, so he bowed his hands to the people.

It doesn't matter if he saluted, it attracted louder applause.

"Okay, you are indeed the number one genius in the world!"

"Everyone, everyone, our Shuntian Mansion and our Northern Land are considered top-ranked!"

"Yes, in previous years Yijia was all from the south, today we in the North are finally proud!"

……

There were loud shouts and applause everywhere.

There was also a bold, short and strong man who jumped onto the imperial street barebacked, showing his creamy belly, and bowed: "I am Ma Xiaosan of Xuanwumen, and I saluted Tanhua Lang. It's amazing, it's amazing, Tan Hualang is here for me this time." Shuntian Mansion has a long face!"

"Okay, well said!"

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were startled by this sudden scene, and hurriedly shouted: "Come on, call out!"

The yamen servants were all smiles, and they hesitated to come forward.They are also from the capital city, Zhou Nan's household registration is in Miyun, and they are all fellow villagers.They are also proud that such a character has emerged from the fellow villagers.

Fortunately, that Ma Xiaosan was also clever, after making his appearance, he jumped into the crowd with the sound of BIU and disappeared.

Zhou Nan laughed, what kind of Northlander, I am obviously from Jianghuai!No, Huai'an also belongs to the north geographically.

He said to Wang Xijue: "This is the human heart."

Just as he was about to continue his sarcasm, suddenly, a woman yelled sharply: "Tan Hua Lang smiled, look good, such a beautiful person!"

Amidst the voice, a brightly red flower was thrown over.

Zhou Nan was caught off guard for a while, and with an "ah", he opened his mouth and bit it by coincidence...

The woman blushed immediately, covered her face, turned around and ran away, but it was a pity that Lao Zhou was riding on a horse and had no way to chase her.

As soon as she started, more women threw flowers over, and the crazy screams of fans resounded through the sky.

Zhou Nan couldn't bear it at all, it was too unserious, it's so helpless to be handsome!
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the people in the Ritual Department knew it was not good, and kept shouting: "Go, go!"

……

"Tanhua, Tanhua, what a romantic term in itself!" In the turret of the imperial city in the distance, Princess Jiashan couldn't help laughing as she looked at the Huayu in the distance.

Next to her, a maid who was close to her was so angry that her face was livid: "Zhou Tanhua is too outrageous, what occasion is today, and he even went to tease a woman, can't we just let it go?"

The other court lady was also the princess' confidant, knowing that His Highness Zhou Tanhua was a treasure, so naturally she refused to punish him.Then he said angrily: "Tanhualang can't do anything about it, but blame those shameless little sluts. Don't worry, Your Highness, I will ask people to investigate the details of those sluts, and punish them as a crime of disrupting the country's grand ceremony."

"Hehe, hehe, no need, no need." Princess Jiashan laughed happily.

"Your Highness."

Princess Jiashan covered her mouth: "It's a natural gift to be good-looking, and I'm so talented, no wonder people think about it! I'm Zhou Zimu, so why should I care about others? Forget it, heck, go down and find a good couple. Duanyan, twenty fine brushes and two knives of rice paper should be sent to Tanhua Lang as a congratulatory gift...Tanhua, Tanhua...I always feel that there is something wrong with this name..."

The two court ladies couldn't help giggling.

"Well, you two little hoofs, you are so presumptuous, it's my fault that I indulged you too much on weekdays." Jiashan straightened his face.

The faces of the two court ladies turned pale with shock.

Jiashan: "Seeing you are so frightened, that's all." There was a surge in her heart, and she didn't care about anything else, pointing at the two of them and shouting: "You are the closest people around me, I know you are dissatisfied with Zhou Tanhua's whole day Going in and out of my princess mansion, it is said that it has a bad reputation. Fame, what is fame, and what reputation do I have now? I just want the world to know that the person I fancy in Jiashan is a first-class person. This hall is really very happy today, I am elated, I am elated!"

……

Fearing that Zhou Nan would cause trouble again and be difficult to explain, the team of the Ministry of Rites walked quickly.

As if pressing the fast-forward button, he quickly finished today's ceremony, and then, without further ado, asked someone to disassemble the three uncles, Zhou, Wang, and Xu, and send them back to their residences.
