Mrs. Qin Liu was undecided. She was overjoyed that her son had passed the Huiyuan exam. Now another number one scholar came. When others outside the carriage shouted that he had won three yuan in a row, Ms. Qin Liu realized that she The son is still Jieyuan.
"Master Hou, Brother Hao really won three yuan in a row"
As a result, Qin Liu looked back and saw that Qin Junye was not as good as her, grinning with a big mouth. giggle.
Qin Junye reacted to her question, and quickly stopped his giggles, with a calm and calm expression, but he couldn't stop the smile at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't know why. Thought he was having a seizure.
At this moment, Qin Hao and others also arrived at Donghua Gate. Although it seemed to be treated with great honor, Qin Hao actually did not feel comfortable because there were always bold people. The young lady hit him with her purse.
However, it was difficult for him to hide when he was sitting on a horse. He usually ignored the purse that was hit on his body, and only stretched out his hand to push away the one that was about to hit his face. Even so, he was hurt by the hit. I highly doubt that these little ladies put all their effort into feeding just to throw their purses over.
In addition to the young lady, the courtesans from the Qin Lou and Chu Pavilion also came to join in the fun, ogling Qin Hao and boldly shouting directly. Who said that the young lady of the Song Dynasty Conservative
However, most people were relatively well-behaved and just gathered around to watch the excitement. Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted.
"That's my son"
Qin Hao followed his gaze and saw that it was Qin Junye who was stepping on the carriage and waving to him.
Qin Hao smiled at him and waved. He was already handsome, and he was carefully dressed up, riding a tall horse, and even more erect. This scene also touched the hearts of many girls present. .
In the carriage of Prince Yong’s palace, a girl grabbed Prince Yong’s hand and said coquettishly, “Father, I want him to be my husband.”
Prince Yong smiled and watched Qin Hao go away. Looking back, I secretly thought that if I could get a son-in-law who won three yuan in a row, wouldn’t it be more obvious that I was destined?
Thinking of this, King Yong made up his mind and said to the coquettish girl next to him, "Okay, after I go back, let me Your mother sent someone to tell you something.”
In King Yong’s view, Dongchang Houfu, as a distinguished nobleman of Bianjing, is well-informed and naturally knows that he has a greater chance of succeeding to the throne. He only needs to tell the truth. According to Qin Junye's character, he would definitely go up to the pole to propose marriage, and it would be done.
The young girl Jiacheng County Master is still a little worried, "Daddy, please tell me to hurry up, don't let those little bitches get the first step."
On the other side, Uncle Fu Chang In the carriage, a girl was also begging her father.
"Dad, how about letting this No. 1 scholar be your son-in-law?" the young girl Rong Feiyan said with expectation on her face.
A look of embarrassment appeared on Uncle Fu Chang's face, "Well, the Dongchang Hou family's family status is too high. I'm afraid our family won't be able to catch up."
Don't look at them. My family is also an earl. In fact, you can tell by looking at the title that this earl’s title isIt was given by the emperor, which meant that he would become a rich man.
The young girl Rong Feiyan did not take it seriously, "What's wrong with my higher family status? My sister is still marrying His Majesty. You are the head of the country, so why can't you marry the Marquis?"
Fu Changbo secretly complained. Their ancestors were masons, scholars, farmers, and merchants. Although the status of craftsmen was higher than that of merchants, they were not much higher. It was just that his eldest daughter was lucky enough to win the favor of the emperor, so she got such a status. count.
However, after all, Concubine Rong did not leave any heirs to the emperor. The Rong family was in a precarious situation. How could they have the confidence to marry into a noble family like Dongchang Houfu who had become the number one scholar
Unable to resist his daughter's coquettish behavior, Uncle Fu Chang could only agree to ask his eldest daughter, Concubine Rong, for her opinion when he went back.
Not just these two families, there are many people in the entire Bianjing city who are interested in marrying Dongchang Houfu. After all, Qin Hao’s conditions are there. He must have good looks and literary talent. The key is Regardless of his good character, he was personally selected as the number one scholar by the official. Looking at the entire Song Dynasty, how many young men with such conditions were there
Of course, if he rashly came to propose marriage and was rejected, he would lose face. , Xungui and others always test it out first, and only announce it after both parties have negotiated in private.
After seven consecutive days of flowing water banquets at the Dongchang Hou Mansion, Qin Liu finally called Qin Hao to her room and asked him what he thought.
If it had been in the past, she would have definitely made up her mind. In feudal society, parents’ orders were followed by matchmakers’ words, and children were not qualified to have opinions.
But after experiencing things like Xiangzao, Huiyuan, and Zhuangyuan, Qin Liu knew that her son was unusual and very independent, and did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so she called Qin Hao to discuss it.
Qin Hao thought for a moment and said to Mrs. Qin Liu, "Mother, do you still remember Yu Yanran, the granddaughter of Mrs. Yu's family?"
When Mrs. Qin Liu heard this, she shook her head: "Mr. Yu The grand master is about to retire. He can't give you any help. Besides, his son is really incompetent. Once the old grand master Yu leaves, the Yu family will inevitably decline. Why should our family touch this brow?"
As Qin Liu said, although Master Yu is now well-known in Xinglin, after all, Grand Master is just a title and does not have much real power, otherwise his son would not be like this.
From the perspective of political marriage, the Yu family is indeed not a suitable partner, but Qin Hao has never been interested in family status.
He liked Yu Yanran’s character, who was weak and kind-hearted. In the original drama, she was so forced by Zhu Manniang, but she did not use the power of a rich and noble daughter to be violent to Zhu Manniang, and even looked at her pitiful appearance and even got angry. Feeling of compassion.
And Yu Yanran’s appearance is also first-class, such a woman is very suitable to be his wife.
"Mom, my son is the number one scholar in high school and is now a scholar. You can no longer use the noble way to plan for me. You might as well think about it. Although Mrs. Yu is about to retire, her disciples There are officials all over the world, and no one has as much influence in the literary world as now, with nobles from all over the city coming to ask for marriage.However, the Dongchang Hou Mansion chose to beg the granddaughter of Mrs. Yu, wouldn’t it make our moral character even more noble?”
Qin Hao bowed deeply to Qin Liu, "Mother, the child has never asked mother for anything. I ask mother to agree to this matter." "
"Well, okay, but I have to find a chance to meet the granddaughter of Mrs. Yu. "Qin Liu had no choice but to agree after hearing this.
Qin Hao suddenly felt something in his heart: "Mother, what I want to like is Yu Yanran, the eldest granddaughter of Master Yu. Don't make the mistake of ordering the Yuanyangpu. "
Qin Liushi glared, "You kid, what are you talking nonsense about? Since ancient times, parents have ordered matchmakers to talk about it. There is no reason to get married by yourself. You are not allowed to talk nonsense outside. "
"Follow your orders. "Qin Hao left with a smile. He knew that the matter was half done.
Compared with the joy of Dongchang Houfu, Ningyuan Houfu seemed miserable. Gu Tingye failed the exam, and he didn't It's just a simple failure. The official said that Gu Tingye should take the exam again after he is fifty.
The reason is that Gu Tingye said a word of sympathy for Yang Wutuan, which was too harsh to him and ruined his life. , which caused the officials to become angry and directly exclude him from the apricot list.
This Yang Wuduan is also a very interesting person, with outstanding talent, but a somewhat bohemian personality, and he likes to drink. He often sleeps in flowers and willows. When he failed in the imperial examination, he said something like "I would rather hang around in the flower and wine room than bow in front of the carriage." The officials at that time were also young and energetic, and they only drank wine and sang quietly, so there was no need to gain fame.
So Yang Wuduan didn't pass the Jinshi exam until he was fifty. He spent most of his life in a brothel. The most important thing is that this guy didn't even pay a penny. In the end, even his funeral was in a brothel. The woman raised money to organize it for him. It is said that all the brothel girls in Bianjing City went to see him off at that time.
I don’t know what part of Gu Tingye’s brain was broken that he actually sympathized with such a person. Anyway, Qin Hao must be different. It's too late to be envious.
After losing a Jinshi in vain, Gu Yankai scolded him with hatred, "Just because of your words, you let Ningyuan Hou Mansion lose a good Jinshi." Where to put your face?"
Gu Tingye gritted his teeth and said, "Father, why don't you ask me who said this to me?"
Gu Yankai hesitated a little, "You usually sleep in flowers. Liu, he must have spilled the beans when he was drunk, so who can you blame?"
"Who can blame you?" Gu Tingye's eyes widened and he said sternly, "I only said this to my eldest brother. , I have asked, and it happened that the eldest brother had entered the palace just before the test. If not him, who else could it be?"
Gu Yankai was shocked and subconsciously excused his eldest son, "Don't you? It's nonsense. Your eldest brother has always been in frail health. He came to the palace because the government rewarded him with a batch of precious medicinal materials a few days ago. He came to the palace to express his gratitude. ”
“Whether it is to go to the palace to express gratitude or to file a complaint, does my father dare to go to the palace with me to ask the officials?"Gu Tingye sneered.
As soon as Gu Yankai heard this, he said angrily, "Are you crazy? The official has already annoyed you, so what else do you want to ask?"
In Gu Tingye's eyes Suddenly a trace of sadness flashed through, "Father, you never believe anything I say. You believe whatever your elder brother says. Don't you have any nostalgia for my mother in your heart?"
Gu Yankai's breathing He started to feel anxious all of a sudden, followed by a violent cough, pointing at the door and yelling "Get out, get out of here"
Gu Tingye took a deep breath, turned around and left.
Gu Yankai's hand covering his mouth was bleeding, which was a hidden injury from his early battlefields. As his body aged over the years, he became increasingly uncontrollable.
He watched Gu Tingye leave. The corner of his mouth moved, but in the end it turned into a sigh.
He naturally had a preference for his eldest son. The Da Qin family was the love of his life, and he would never give up for the Da Qin family. If he hadn't taken concubines later to make up for the shortfall, he wouldn't have married the daughter of the Bai family.
"You will understand me from now on. ”
On the other hand, the Duke of Qi’s palace was also in a state of misery. After Qi Heng learned that he failed the exam, he became seriously ill. The Duke of Qi searched for famous doctors but could not cure him.
Princess Pingning knew that Qi Heng was worried, but it proved once again that her son still needed her help to pave the way, so he never let go.
Qi Guogong was caught in a dilemma.
Princess Pingning did not seek Qin Hao’s advice this time. She was not stupid and naturally knew that the idea last time must have been given by Qin Hao. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? As soon as he left, her son It was a showdown with her.
In addition to being frustrated, Qi Heng was also angry that he had missed the opportunity to marry Minglan.
And the Sheng Mansion. Bian is completely different. Sheng Changbai High School's second-class Jinshi is a great thing for the ancestors. Not only will Bianjing City celebrate it, but they will also open an ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.
But the Sheng family's hometown is far away. Youyang, Sheng Changbai has to stay and wait for the appointment, and Sheng Hong also has errands and cannot leave his post without permission, so he can only arrange for his family to go back.
In addition, the old lady of the Sheng family’s eldest house wrote a letter saying that she misses Mr. Sheng. Madam, invite her back to her hometown to meet her.
Old Mrs. Sheng also wants to take this opportunity to record Minglan under Wang Ruofu's name, so that her concubine can be transformed into a legitimate daughter. Although it is just a cover-up, But it will also be good for Minglan's future marriage.
So, the old lady of the Sheng family took Minglan to Yuyang's hometown. As for Mo Lan and Ru Lan, they always looked down on the countryside and thought it was too much. Wang Ruofu also wanted to see Ru Lan's wedding ceremony in two years and find her husband's family as soon as possible, so he started to take Ru Lan with him. Lan attended various banquets, on the one hand, to let her know something, and on the other hand, she also wanted to make people admire her.
When Lin Xiaoniang saw this, she quickly acted coquettishly for Sheng Hong, but Sheng Hong couldn't bear it. Lin XiaoniangHe tried many tricks and finally agreed.
As a result, the boss Wang Ruofu was unhappy, but he couldn't confront Sheng Hong. After all, Mo Lan was also a daughter of the Sheng family in name. It might affect Ru Lan's marriage. For the sake of her daughter's happiness, Wang Ruofu had no choice but to agree.
Of course, Wang Ruofu is not that open-minded. Every time he goes out, he is notified at short notice. Mo Lan is always caught off guard and has no time to put on makeup properly, so he cannot show his best side. , Lin Xiaoniang was so angry that she scolded her in Lin Qige, but she was helpless.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed. Qin Hao’s batch of Jinshi have also been awarded official positions. Most of the top three Jinshi have been sent out to serve as officials, which is similar to Sheng Hong’s life trajectory. , if they want to reach the position of a Beijing official, it will take at least ten years of wasted time, and this will only happen if there is someone in the court to help manage it.
Otherwise, you may have to stay in one place for the rest of your life.
This shows the importance of ranking in the palace examination. Due to Sheng Hong's operation, Sheng Changbai was successfully elected as a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. His position was editor. Although he was a Qingshui Yamen, there was room for improvement. It's very big. If you are lucky in the future, you may become the Prime Minister of the dynasty.
Qin Hao's official position is more interesting. According to the decree of the Privy Council, this is a sixth-grade official position. For the number one scholar, this grade is considered appropriate.
But generally speaking, the number one scholar who has just entered the officialdom will not be assigned such a powerful official position. It is equivalent to an intern. After a period of experience, the leader feels that you can take on important tasks. Let you do the important things.
You must know that the Privy Council controls the military power of the world. It is a truly powerful department. The Privy Council may seem to have little power and is only responsible for drafting documents, but in fact, it can control the movements of the military and horses of the world. , is a very important position.
As for the official arrangement, Qin Hao guessed that because of his status as a noble son, if he was placed in a civil official site such as Hanlin Academy or Yushitai, he would be easily squeezed out. If he were assigned to a military position, it would be a waste of his talent as the top scholar, so he thought of this way to take care of both ends.
This also made Qin Hao sigh with emotion, the officials had good intentions.
After being awarded an official, there is no need to start work immediately. This was very humane in the Song Dynasty. After all, many Jinshi were not from Bianjing. After high school, they never went back to wait for the official to be awarded, and maybe even their family members I don’t even know they are in high school yet.
Therefore, the court gave them a month's holiday after they were awarded the official title. Some people whose families were far away could get an extension of two or three months.
Qin Hao did not rush to ask himself to work overtime and take reasonable vacations, why not?
During this period, the old lady of the Sheng family also came back with Minglan, and in a blink of an eye, Jian Minglan is also 13 years old and has grown into a slim girl. It is time to think about her life-long affairs.
This day, at the invitation of Mrs. Wu of the Earl of Yongchang Palace, Wang Ruofu brought three girls to the polo club.
As soon as they arrived at the polo field, Mrs. Wu came up to her and said, "Hey, is this girl Ming? I haven't seen you for a while, and you are already so beautiful."
Ming Lan He saluted and said, "Thank you Madam Wu for the compliment. Minglan is not worthy of it."
Seeing her graceful and generous look, Madam Wu nodded secretly, took her hand and walked inside, and said Don’t forget to introduce.
"You are here for today's polo match, and more than half of the noble families in Bianjing City are coming."
As she said this, Mrs. Wu also whispered, "Don't you? The young prince from the Changhou Mansion and the young prince from the Duke of Qi's Mansion will also come. Those rich and noble ladies are all here for them." Minglan was secretly stunned, this Wu Da. The lady is too brave to speak. < /p>
"Okay, let's go." Mrs. Wu didn't blame her and agreed readily.
Minglan came to Yu Yanran and said angrily, "Huh, it's been a long time since you came to play with me. I'm afraid you have forgotten me as a sister. Why are you calling me now?"
Yu Yanran's expression was sad, "Minglan, don't be angry. It's all my fault. Just let me go this time."
Minglan couldn't help but burst out laughing. The voice came: "Sister Yanran is still so funny. I know why you didn't come to me. Mrs. Yu must be busy helping you find a good marriage."
Yu Yanran blushed with embarrassment. , and got into a fight with Minglan, "Don't talk about me, you're going to get married soon."
While talking, I heard the polo ground suddenly became noisy, and Yu Yanran and Minglan took a look and realized that two young men were riding tall horses into the polo field, attracting the attention of all the wealthy ladies.
