Reborn on the day of marriage! After the marriage exchange, the elder sister went crazy

Hearing the emperor asking him about his calligraphy.

Lu Bozhou cupped his hands and said, "I have not yet performed the ceremony of coming of age, so I have no name."

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "It is said in the Nine Songs, 'The beauty is small and it is good to cultivate it, I will ride on the boat of laurel. Water can carry the boat.'"

"I heard that you were imprisoned and tortured by Xiao Zong for several years, but you had a kind heart and did not seek revenge. Your writing is beautiful and fair, without any resentment, and your character is outstanding."

"So, Zemei!"

After granting the word, the emperor stood up without waiting for his ministers to react and said: "I am tired."

He quickly stepped down from the dragon throne and walked out of the hall.

When he arrived outside the palace, the emperor suddenly stopped.

He raised his sleeves to block the setting sun and hide the expression on his face.

"Go back to the palace."

After a moment, the emperor said.

In the hall, the ministers gathered and bowed to the three people.

"Congratulations, Mr. Top Scholar, for being given the name Zemei by His Majesty."

But more ministers' eyes were on Zhou Jin, which made Zhou Jin feel uneasy.

Next, it was the Qionglin Banquet.

The biggest prize at the Qionglin Banquet is the poetry-writing session for the top-ranked candidates.

These three people are the true disciples of the emperor and are about to enter the Hanlin Academy.

The ministers certainly would not make things difficult for them.

Just let the three of them write a poem of thanksgiving each.

After the Qionglin Banquet, the three top-ranking officials began to ride horses in a parade through the streets.

When people heard the news that Tanhualang was still unmarried, the streets were in an uproar.

Seeing three riders slowly driving out of the imperial city, everyone in Tianjie screamed.

"The prince congratulates the first-class parade and rewards all the people in Tianjie with two hundred baskets of hairpins and flowers."

"The King of Jin congratulates the first-class candidates and parades them in the streets, presenting them with 150 baskets of hairpins and flowers."

"The King of Zhao congratulates the first-class soldiers and parades them through the streets, presenting them with a hundred baskets of hairpins and flowers."

"The Hanlin Academy congratulates the first-class candidates and parades them in the streets, presenting them with fifty baskets of hairpins and flowers."

"The Ministry of Rites congratulates the first-class candidates and parades them in the streets, presenting them with fifty baskets of hairpins and flowers."

"The Ministry of Revenue congratulates the first-class candidates and parades them in the streets, presenting them with fifty baskets of hairpins and flowers."

"The Ministry of Personnel congratulates the first-class candidates on the parade..."

"The Ministry of War..."

"Ministry of Justice..."

"Ministry of Industry..."

Countless flowers are flying in the sky.

The people were laughing and talking happily.

"Tanhua Lang! Look here, look here."

A bouquet of flowers was thrown over and landed on Lu Bozhou.

As the bouquet of flowers was thrown, countless flowers flew out and landed on Lu Bozhou's body and face.

Lu Bozhou covered his face with his sleeves and smiled bitterly: "I'm not the third place winner!"

Zhou Jin, who was following behind, was smiling so much that his mouth was almost wide open.

He laughed so much that he couldn't laugh anymore.

"Tanhua Zhou, my family is an imperial censor, and I am willing to give a box of ancient books from the previous dynasty as a dowry for my daughter. Two study rooms are also included as a dowry."

"Tanhua Zhou, my family is willing to give a painting of "The Goddess of Luo River" as a daughter's wedding gift, as well as several fields and shops."

"My family, Xia Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Works, is willing to donate a painting of a lady with a hairpin, two boxes of ancient books, and several plots of land and shops."

"My family, Wang Yuanwai's family in the south of the city, is willing to offer a dowry of 100,000 taels, along with 1,000 acres of farmland and 50 shops."

"Get lost! You stinky merchant dares to insult the third place winner? You deserve a beating."

"I am Xu Jinghuan from the Xu family. You can choose any girl from our family as the third place winner."

"Why are you joining in the fun? What does it have to do with you? My family's Minister of Rites is willing to marry his daughter to Zhou Tanhua."

"My family's Minister of Justice is willing to marry my niece to Zhou Tanhua."

"My family, the Grand Secretary of Wenchang Pavilion, is willing to marry my granddaughter to Mr. Zhou."

"My dear champion, I heard that you got married. I am willing to be your concubine!"

"Second place winner! Are you married too? I can be your concubine too."

"Top scholar, look at me!"

"In my eyes, the runner-up is the most handsome. Look at me, runner-up!"

"Zhuangyuanlang, you can come to Baihualou for free!"

Tianjie is ten miles long.

The fragrance of horse hooves fills the air.

……

boom!boom!

Li Jinglan was frightened by the firecrackers outside the yard while she was in the house.

Just as he stood up, Zhao Zhengyi ran in from outside with an excited look on his face.

He stuttered out of surprise: "Madam, our master has won the first place in the imperial examination!"

Top pick?

Li Jinglan's body shook, and the heart that had been hanging for a whole day finally settled down.

Yan Fuyu also ran in, with a sincere look of congratulations on her face: "Sister, get out quickly. The person who brought the good news has smashed our front door."

Li Jinglan found a veil, put it on, and walked out.

When the people who were announcing the good news saw a man wearing a veiled hat coming out, they all bowed and said, "Lu Bozhou from Xishui Village, Nanli County, Zhili, has won the first place in the imperial examination. Congratulations to the lady!"

Li Jinglan prepared copper coins in advance and ordered Zhao Zhengyi to give him a reward, "Thank you for your hard work, brothers."

Next, the people who came to announce the good news almost broke down the threshold.

Some reported the good news to Lu Bozhou, while others reported the good news to Zhou Jin.

Li Jinglan was almost too busy to handle it.

Yan Fuyu took the initiative to come over to help.

Looking at so many people reporting good news, it would be a lie for Yan Fuyu to say she was not envious.

I don’t know whether her husband Wang Zhenyan won the prize or what place he got.

"God bless me, please don't let me be a fellow Jinshi." Yan Fuyu prayed in her heart.

I would rather fail this subject and take it again than hope to be the same Jinshi.

Most of the people living nearby were scholars. Seeing that the Wang family had both topped the imperial examinations,

Seeing that Li Jinglan and Yan Fuyu were too busy, he took the initiative to come over to help.

Some people brought stools and tables, and some took the initiative to boil tea.

Li Jinglan and Yan Fuyu invited a few women who knew how to cook, set up pots and fires on the roadside, and started preparing a buffet.

Some wealthy families nearby even came to send wine and food.

Halfway through my work, I saw someone coming with good news.

"Master Wang Zhenyan from Nanli County, Zhili, won the third place in the second class."

Yan Fuyu's heart skipped a beat, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

She clutched her chest and burst into tears.

"I got it! I finally got it."

Seeing that she was so happy that she just shed tears, she even forgot to give me a reward.

Li Jinglan hurried over to give a reward.

Just after giving the reward, another team came to report the good news.

"Master Wang Yongqing from Nanli County, Zhili, won the fourth place in the second class."

Wang Yongqing also won?

The ranking is much better than in the previous life.

Li Jinglan still remembered that the Wang brothers were ranked after 100 in their previous lives.

Thinking about all the people around me makes their lives better than in their previous lives.

Li Jinglan couldn't help but laugh.

Soon, the imperial edict was issued.

Li Jinglan took off her veil and knelt down to listen to the order.

After delivering the decree, the eunuch smiled and said, "Your Majesty has given the champion a courtesy name, Zemei."

"Zemei?" Why did the emperor suddenly give Lu Bozhou a name?

Could it be...

Li Jinglan didn't have time to think about it, and immediately knelt down again facing the imperial city and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

The eunuch has met many people.

But there is no other common woman like Li Jinglan who performs the ceremony of thanking a favor in such a formal way.

There was a hint of surprise in her heart, but a hint of intimacy on her face: "Next, Madam, you will be busy. Tomorrow morning, the new number one scholar will come to the palace to express his gratitude!"

"The officials from the Ministry of Rites will deliver the official uniforms and robes and teach the number one scholar and the lady etiquette in a while."

Li Jinglan thanked him with a smile, but did not give any thank-you gift.

The nobles who came to convey the imperial edict to the new number one scholar were all wealthy and powerful people, and were most likely the most trusted eunuchs around the emperor.

The two families of three to five hundred people don't even take it seriously.

She couldn't come up with several thousand taels.

It’s better not to give a gift.

After the person who delivered the imperial edict left, someone else delivered the imperial edict to Zhou Jin.

Li Jinglan hurriedly invited Zhou Tuanjin out from the backyard and asked him to kneel down to receive the order.

After the two groups of people delivering the imperial edict had left, civil and military officials began to present gifts.

The Wang family courtyard was suddenly bustling with traffic.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the Wang family courtyard.

The palace was silent.

The emperor was wearing a Taoist robe, sitting cross-legged on a cushion with his eyes closed in meditation.

Prince Jin sat aside, striking the chimes softly.

The sound of the chimes is long and melodious.

Jade smoke is curling up.

After a moment, the emperor suddenly asked, "Brother, how many years have you been a monk on my behalf?"

King Jin wiped his fingers and said, "Seventeen years."

The emperor hummed and kept his eyes closed.

The King of Jin glanced at him and said, "Now that the imperial examination is over, I want to go out and travel."

The emperor remained silent.

"I went to the Lu family in Xishui Village last year and made an agreement with the tenant of the Lu family. This year I will go to see his harvest."

The emperor still didn't say anything, but the King of Jin obviously knew the answer. He stood up and walked out backwards: "I'm leaving."

When he reached the door, he met the prince face to face.

The prince bowed and said, "How are you, uncle?"

King Jin turned his body to the side but said nothing.

In the room.

The eunuch came over and said, "Your Majesty, the prince is here."

The emperor hummed, "Where's the prince?"

The eunuch replied, "The king did not utter a word when he saw the prince."

Not long.

The prince entered the palace.

The emperor looked up.

The prince had sunken eye sockets and a pale face.

Needs support when walking.

The emperor raised his hand and said in a gentle voice, "Prince, please sit down. Have you taken your medicine today?"
