Misty rain and heavy flowers accompany the king's return

When it came time to publish the list, it was a few days earlier than before.

Early in the morning, many residents of the Tongyuan Inn sat in the lobby early in the morning, and the students who were confident did not look at the list, but sat in the lobby a little nervously eating, waiting for the person who announced the good news to come.

Some scholars who feel that they have missed the Zhongju exam are more relaxed. Although they spent a little money to rush for the exam, at this moment, no matter whether it is or not, the moment before knowing that they have not passed the Zhongju, they feel relaxed.

This is like the last moment before success or failure, no matter what the result is, you must hold on to everything and enjoy this last peace of mind.

The store cooked a large pot of soy milk today, as well as a kind of fried rice and nuts with dried fruit as the base.

When eating, add sugar to the nuts and pour into hot soybean milk.

This way of eating is called "chongjiang", which is the antonym of "jiangzhong", and it is a winning food.

Shen Bai drank this kind of food, and felt that it tasted very good, and the nuts inside were also very good.

There is also a plate of pancakes and two eggs.

"Aren't you going to take a look?" Qingchen asked a little nervously.

Shen Bai peeled the eggs for him with a smile: "What should I do if the newspaper delivery person comes?"

The students at the next table heard their conversation and looked at Shen Bai curiously, but they couldn't resist him. After all, at this time, whoever wins the prize will be a sudden change in life. .

Any teasing is irrational at this moment, because no one knows who is the winner in this battle for the fate of scholars.

It is very simple to become a teacher in the same year.

After Shen Bai finished drinking the syrup in the bowl, the good news came, but it wasn't him.

"Congratulations to Qian Haoxiucai High School in Jiangyou County, No. 11 in the Jiangnan Township Examination." After the Annunciation Yamen servant finished singing, a student jumped up.

"Finally won." The nearly 40-year-old was so excited that he turned around the table a few times, at a loss for what to do.

"Master, congratulations to the high school." The yamen servant congratulated him.

Both the second report and the third report came one after another.

"It's a reward for Master Qian." The shopkeeper came out and offered a reward for Qian Hao.

Only then did Qian Hao realize it, and said with a smile, "Reward!"

There are three river-crossing bridges in Jiangzhou, on the other side of the river close to the examination room. There are many people who passed the exam, and there are constant sounds of people announcing the good news and firecrackers.

This end is much cooler.

Under the dispatch of the shopkeeper, the sound of firecrackers at the entrance of the inn attracted nearby spectators.

Qingchen looked at Shen Bai impatiently, and Shen Bai leisurely asked for two cups of tea.

In the entire Tongyuan Inn, two people won, the second one was No. 6 Yayuan, and the Beijing News even won the yellow armor.

The winners were very beautiful, and the students who came with them continued to congratulate them, and there was no movement until almost noon.

A lot of people looked at Shen Bai, Shen Bai took a sip of tea indifferently, before the cup was put down, the thundering sound of the gong outside the door and the sound of salute came.

"Which one is Master Shen Luo?" The official who announced the good news came in and asked, dressed in the clothes of the same case.

Shen Bai raised his hand.

"Congratulations to Mr. Shen, congratulations to No. 1 in Jiangnan Township Examination. Prince Qi and Mr. Tong Ge are waiting for you at the Tongwen Hall, and specially sent officials to greet you." As soon as he finished speaking, the inn immediately boiled.

Long Qingchen took out 50 taels of silver and gave it to the shopkeeper, asking him to tip it on his behalf.

When they went upstairs to pack up and salute, the second and third newspapers, as well as the white horse and sedan chair to greet them, all stopped at the entrance of the inn.

Shen Bai went downstairs, wearing the new clothes that Qingchen sewed for him a few days ago.

"Master, please leave a calligraphy treasure for our small shop!" The shopkeeper came over and said.

With a chuckle, Shen Bai wrote down the four big characters "Blessings of the Same Destiny" on the prepared paper. The font is in European font, thick and grand.

"Okay!" Everyone cheered together, sent Shen Bai on the horse, and Long Qingchen got on the sedan chair and left.

The welcome team was full of gongs and drums, and the guard of honor opened the way, which was very lively.

At the place where the list was announced, Nie Xingfeng couldn't help but smile when he saw the word Shen Luo at the top of the list.

"Brother, why are you interested in this?" A teenager asked beside him.

"I have a friend, let me see if he has been hit." Nie Xingfeng said.

"Did you win? Do you still have friends who study?" The young man stretched his head to look at the yellow list.

"No.1!" Nie Xingfeng laughed.

"Blow it, bragging doesn't cost money." The young man showed a dimpled face, looked at Nie Xingfeng and smiled.

Nie Xingfeng didn't annoy him either, he pinched his face and said, "Let's go!"

Shen Bai and the others went to the Tongwen Hall, and Mr. Tong Ge and Ci Wenhao were already waiting for them.

"Congratulations, brother Shen. The emperor sent you an oral order to let you follow us to Beijing to study in the Gongyuan. This is for you to participate in the next year's examination." Ci Wenhao said with a smile.

"Thank you, Wang Ye, and Elder Ge for your recommendation." Shen Bai respectfully returned the gift, and Elder Tong Ge couldn't help but feel a little proud of his calmness.

On the way back, we set off on the big river and went straight to the imperial capital by the canal.

The imperial capital of the Dafeng Dynasty was in the area near the coast, the majestic ancient capital of the dynasty, garrisoned by 20 Royal Forest Army and [-] Navy Division.

"Where are you going to live in the imperial capital?" On the big boat going back, Tongge looked at them curiously.

"Buy a house!" Long Qingchen said.

"I have a courtyard with three entrances in a market in front of Gongyuan, I'll give it to you!" Ci Wenhao said, and then looked at Shen Bai: "Would you like me to contact Longtu for you, he doesn't seem to know himself My brother is gone!"

Old Tongge understood something, and looked at them: "You guys? You eloped?"

"How about the love between a poor scholar and a rich brother?" Ci Wenhao said with a smile.

"Hahahaha!" Old Tongge laughed heartily, "Courage enough, the biggest regret in my life is that when I was young, I fell in love with the elder brother who lived next door with a bachelor's degree in literature, but I didn't have the guts Ah, I'm afraid that I'm not good enough for him as a bodyguard. This time I went to the expedition and I haven't returned home for more than ten years. When I came back, I was curious to ask how the brother of the Qingwen family was doing?"

"The result?" Long Qingchen couldn't help asking.

"Dead, married to the son of the Marquis of Xiang, but was abandoned from the beginning to the end, and finally got sick and hanged to death." Old Tong Ge lamented: "At that time, His Royal Highness Luo, because it was not good for the Marquis of Xiang to guard and attack the pass, he was killed. After losing his father and son, do you know how happy I am, weeping with joy!"

"After so many years, you can still value love and righteousness, which is rare." Long Qingchen couldn't help but said, and felt impolite after speaking: "Mr. Ge, forgive me."

"No problem!" Old Tong Ge waved his hand: "It's rare that you are outspoken, and you are worthy of sinking. In the future, when you get married, we will support you."

"Hahaha"!Citing Wenhao smiled and said: "Brother Shen, Mr. Ge will support you, don't worry, we will take care of the Yue family for you."

Shen Bai smiled slightly: "Thank you."

"Don't just say thank you, why don't you come and play a song, Tong Ge hasn't heard it yet!" Ci Wenhao said leisurely, concealing the gloomy mood at the moment when Tong Huai'en said to support Shen Luo.

Back in the cabin at night, Shen Bai and Qing Chen blow the lamp to lie down.

"What will they think of us?" Qingchen asked the people around him in a low voice.

"Ask what?" Shen Bai asked curiously.

"We slept together every day before we got married!"

"Are you asleep?" Shen Bai asked back.

Qingchen couldn't help pinching him: "Can you explain clearly? Say you are a gentleman?"

Shen Bai rubbed his earlobe: "Then don't explain, if you go to the imperial capital, you will almost get married."

Long Qingchen sighed: "I still don't want to inform my father."

This time, Shen Bai was a little surprised, and turned to look at him: "Why?"

"My father is like a plaster. Once it sticks on, it can't be torn off." Long Qingchen couldn't help but said: "My uncle is like this, and he has been dragged down by him all the time. That’s where his career stopped.”

Shen Bai remained silent, and said after half the salary: "You make up your own mind, and I will listen to you. From now on, you will be in charge. I don't care about anything, except Master Asong."

"Do you think I'm an unfilial person?" Long Qingchen asked in a low voice.

"No, don't think too much, he has food, drink, food and clothing, and he continued the string. You didn't cause him any trouble." Shen Bai comforted: "The news of my passing to Huzhou, my aunt Got it, but I don't know if it will come or not?"

Long Qingchen's heart skipped a beat when he heard this: "What kind of person is he?"

"What do you think of a person who is heartless and unrighteous, who abandons his family and children?" Shen Bai asked.

"Abai?" Qingchen's hand stroked his chest: "Will you be sad?"

Shen Bai leaned against his face and whispered in his ear: "No, I will tell you a secret when we get married."

"What secret?" Long Qingchen raised his head and pressed his lips against his cheek.

Shen Bai rubbed his face: "We can only talk about it when we are married, otherwise it would be a secret!"

Long Qingchen smiled, Shen Bai let out a long breath: "Sleep, I want to have a good dream!"

Qingchen didn't understand the meaning of his words, but Shen Bai was lying comfortably, it was approaching the beginning of winter, the weather was cold, it was nice to have someone lying beside him.

In Yemeng, I decided to go to Liaodong for Zihuan, which puzzled me as a spectator.

But the eloquent words of "that person" in the court hall made him feel strange. As a bystander, he could carefully observe the 'playful' eyes of his brother-in-law Yu Wentuo.

As an emperor, he never expected that Yu Wentuo would agree to his request.

Is it really possible to "play with fun" in governing the world?

When he woke up in the morning, Shen Bai couldn't recall it all the time.

"What's wrong?" Hao asked curiously.

Shen Bai smiled slightly: "After reading the book "Contemporary Collection", I don't know how Mr. Tongge evaluates King Luo?"

His topic made the other two people at the table put down their dishes.

"Why did you ask this?" Elder Tong Ge said in surprise, "King Luo is a taboo topic in the court."

"Why?" Shen Bai looked at Ci Wenhao in confusion.

"Although he is gone, his Qingyang County still maintains 15 Lanling Guards stationed there, and they only obey him." Quoting Wenhao when he talked about his youngest brother, there was a kind of kindness in his eyes. Strange look.

The topic is not good, but it seems to hit the core issue of the Dafeng Dynasty, and it may be one of the core secrets.Shen Bai achieved his goal, he shut up and stopped talking.

The closer you are to the edge of the truth of a matter, you will immediately receive all kinds of interference.

For this reason, Shen Bai also put away "Journal of Today's Events". After all, it is a book with other covers, so he can just take a peek at it by himself. The more so, it may mean that the things in this book are more powerful.

"That self" has already led the army to go out, and between Che Linlin and Ma Xiaoxiao, even the imperial army has been prepared.

Comparing the two sides, Shen Bai felt more and more inadequate, and Shen Bai was secretly impatient.

"Ah Bai, why are you in a daze again? The lord asked if you want to go ashore for a walk!" Long Qingchen asked Shen Bai who was standing at the bow of the boat as they stopped for a rest at the port along the way.

"You guys are so interesting, aren't you Ah Luo? Why did you become Ah Bai again?" Quotation Hao, who was at the side, joked curiously.

Shen Bai was stunned for a moment, he had not gotten used to the transformation after coming here for so long, and then said: "He laughed at me like a little idiot, so he called me Ah Bai."

"Huh?" Ci Wenhao couldn't help but smile.

"My lord doesn't understand. This is the fun of young people. Our family still calls me a dead old man." Tong Ge joked.

Shen Bai let out a sigh to himself, he had to reset his position in his heart, not everyone can live a new life, no one can live another original, he must learn to be Shen, not Shen Bai.

With this thought, he felt a little more relieved, and said in the old Tongge's words: "Isn't that also very interesting?"

Tong Ge scratched his head: "What's more, once at the palace banquet, he couldn't help calling me an old man, which made the emperor joke when he saw me the next day, yo, the old man is here!"

Everyone laughed at what he said and got off the boat together.

Xinkou Port is the former port of Jiangyou County. It is not close to the county seat, but it is unique and occupies a huge area. It has become the largest material transshipment and storage center before reaching the imperial capital.

Enjoy the blue sky and white clouds in the port, and the breeze is blowing.

They all inspected the busy life of the port workers together. On the large grain ships, the porters carried large sacks of grain from the ship to the shore.

At the other end, the wood that grows like a water dragon has also begun to be harvested one after another.

"Hey ho, hey ho!" The chant sounded from time to time.

The officials at the port rushed over with their soldiers: "Your Majesty Gong Yechang, welcome to Prince Qi and Mr. Tongge."

Yin Zihao waved his hand: "Excuse me, take a break and leave.

"Let's eat here at noon. The autumn fish is plump, and the shrimp and crab are good. I have arranged some for you," Miyano said.

"Oh?" Citing Wenhao nodded: "Then let's have lunch, and the river delicacies from Jiangbei are also good."

When the building boat was about to reach the waters of the imperial capital, the fast navy ships who came to meet the escort came to guard the left and right.

The tall towers of the huge imperial capital, and above the majestic gate towers are very defensive arrow-hole windows with lookout holes.

The tall gatehouse has no less than [-] holes and windows. One can imagine the role it can play in wartime.

Shen Bai looked at the flat ground in front of him. It was a narrow open space with mixed rivers, and the siege equipment could not be deployed. The attack here had to rely on the infantry's strong attack to pass. One can imagine the role of these archery towers in wartime.

"This is Fengyang Gate, as well as Fengxiang Gate, Fengyao Gate and Fengtian Gate." Citing Wenhao introduced from the side.

The welcoming team is arranged by the Ministry of Rites.

"You go directly to the mansion to rest, I have already arranged it." Ci Wenhao said to Shen Bai.

Shen Bai nodded to express his thanks.

Sanjin's house is not big, but it is a good courtyard in a busy section, because there is a small stable in front and a small courtyard in the back with fruit trees and potted plants.

"It's really nice here." Long Qingchen took a look, Citing Wenhao left them four servants, a cook, a doorman and coachman, and two serving servants.

Shen Bai remained silent, citing Wen Hao as a prince, it is absolutely impossible to have such a three-entry small house, it seems that it was bought for him.

The more he was like this, the more uneasy Shen Bai felt.

"It seems that from tomorrow onwards, I will be more at ease in being Shen Luo." He thought to himself.
