Hongwu 23 years.April nineteenth.

Xie Qin lay on his back on the bluestone, swirling the wine in his cup, it was already smoky.Some Jinshi of the same discipline wanted to come up to pay a visit. Seeing him like this, they knew that his wine was dead, and turned around and retreated one after another.

At the flower-exploring banquet in the apricot orchard, all the admitted scholars were chatting and laughing, and those who got acquainted with each other went to watch the garden and recite poems.The spring scene is just right, the youth is full of vigor, and it coincides with the title of the gold list. This is the most energetic moment in one's life.

But at these moments, he is the only one who is not restrained in his appearance, half leaning back under the shade of the apricot tree, eating wine alone.If it were someone else, they would have long been dismissed as poor manners, but facing Xie Sanlang, everyone would at most say "Merry" with a smile.

Langyu Dujue is a noble son, and no one would recognize him and thank him.

"Let it. Let it."

It seems that someone called him.

Xie Ling opened Chunshun's eyes slowly, and looked sideways, but it turned out that it was Yan Shisong who was ranked sixth in the second class.The two of them grew up in the same academy and have always been friends.

Yan Shisong was pushing him, calling softly: "Let him, get up and have a look. Is that Shen Liangqing?"

Xie Qin was still drunk in the aftertaste of the Jinhua wine, so heavy that he didn't come back to his senses.It is said that "Du Shi Yan Zi Jinhua wine, seafood go Zuo Chuan Wen", it is true that only good wine is suitable for this good occasion.

"Shen Liangqing." He asked lazily, "Who is it?"

Yan Shisong wondered: "Shen Bing. You won the second place in the gold list, and he won the number one prize. Forgot? Shen Bing, Shen Liangqing, who is called 'Tinglan Langyu' together with you."

Ting Lan Lang Yu.

Xie Ling blinked, and finally the three souls returned to their seats, and sat up on the bluestone idly.He looked in the direction Yan Shisong pointed, and saw a few people sitting under a small slope not far away, who looked like they were playing drums to stimulate flowers.

Those people were all carrying him behind their backs, and they were still half-hidden down the slope. It stands to reason that they couldn't tell the difference between tall and short, beautiful and ugly.

But there was one person, he was sitting seventh from the left, half of his body was leaning against a bunch of white camellias that were in full bloom.I don't know if it's because of the outstanding back like a white crane, or because of the temperament like Zhi Tinglan, among this group of people, he is the only one who stands out.

When Xie Qin looked at it intently, the drum stopped, and it happened that he was holding flowers.The wide indigo sleeves slightly slid down his forearm, exposing his well-proportioned wrist bones, which were somewhat more beautiful than the most exquisitely carved jade Bodhisattva statues.The fingers holding the flowers are slender and slender, and when you look at them, you can actually compare them with the flowers, branches and willows in the garden.

Chunhui is where the flowers and willows are fragrant.People are like jade, shadows are like Hong.Acacia.

Even if Xie Qin has read all three thousand beauties, he has never seen anyone who can make people look dazed with a side view of a bright wrist.

"What a beautiful woman." Yan Shisong sighed, "Tall and beautiful. Let me, you are the number one son of the capital, I am afraid that you will give up."

Xie Ling withdrew his gaze and said with a cool smile, "Woman's ear."

Yan Shisong was taken aback for a moment, and immediately burst out laughing.

Just at this time, someone yelled loudly, calling for the selection of Tanhua envoys.There has always been a tradition among the Jinshi on the new list, to choose the two most handsome young men among the crowd, and ride their horses to pick the most rare flowers in the garden to give everyone hairpins. These flower pickers are called "Flower Messenger" .

Somebody laughed and said, "I've heard the name of Tinglan in Jingzhou for a long time, and seeing it today, it really deserves its reputation. Brother Liangqing, this trip must be you."

Everyone looked towards the depths of the camellia down the slope.The man seemed to say something, but Xie Ling was far away, so he didn't hear it clearly.

Another person said: "You have Tinglan in Jingzhou, and I have Langyu in the capital. How can you miss Xie Sanlang for such romantic things as picking flowers?"

"Let it..." Yan Shisong tugged at the corner of La Xiejin's clothes.

Xie Ling raised his hand, drank the Jinhua wine in the glass, and got up shaking.As soon as he walked over, the noise around him suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at him.

But he saw him walking past at a three-pointed, seven-pointed uninhibited pace, casually took off the reins of a steed, jumped up and laughed loudly: "Who will give me hairpins? Who will I pick flowers with? The poem is over, The wine is in full swing, happy spring day. All sons and daughters, let's go together!"

After saying that, he raised his whip and beat the horse, and the figure pierced through the flowers and brushed the willows as quickly as a surprise, and in a blink of an eye it had reached the depths of the thick shade.

Yan Shisong was the first to laugh and got up, put the saddle on the horse, and followed Xie Ling to beat the horse away.When everyone came back to their senses, they were all aroused with pride, and they all rode their horses to follow each other.For a while, the horses clustered together, and the hooves were clattering, it was the rush of bliss.

Among the 60 people who are juveniles, who will be the most romantic? (Jin Yuanhao asked "Tan Hua Ci")

Be grateful for it.

Among the few people who hadn't left yet, someone complained in a low voice to the person who had just nominated Xie Ling as the envoy: "Why are you so blind? Then who is Xie Ling? You didn't mention his name after Shen Liangqing. Is he short by a head?"

"This..." The man was at a loss for words, and said anxiously, "How can I think so much? What should I do, Xie Ling won't hold grudges against me, will he?"

"Hold grudges?" Someone else sneered, "It's a joke, you think too highly of yourself."

In this bustling place in the capital, there is no beauty who does not want to kiss Xie Sanlang's Fang Ze, and there is no celebrity who does not want to sit in Xie Rangzhi's seat.

It might be a hundred times more difficult to get Xie Ling to bear the grudge than to be named on the gold list.

-

April twenty-fifth.

Mao Shi just passed, and the morning sun turned over from the eaves of the nine sons of Longsheng in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, spreading thousands of golden rays on the white jade steps.At this time, Luan Yiwei has managed to drive in front of the hall, and Zhonghe Shaole is on both sides of His Highness, and Danbi Dale is on both sides of the Taihe Gate.

Civil and military officials, princes and above are listed above Danbi, and other hundred officials are in Danchi.They all wear court clothes and crowns with three branches and nine leaves.The front of the hall is solemn, and when the time comes, it will start to pass on the group.

Outside the gate of Taihe stood the Jinshi who passed this time.According to the ranking, Xie Ling stood behind Shen Yi.

He had a drink with his friends last night, if it wasn't for the family servants who came to the wine shop to look for him with their dresses in their hands, they almost forgot about the matter of Chuan Lu today.He was led by the ceremony officer just now, and stood here in a daze, still not awake.At this time, the long wind that pierced through the front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony was blowing head-on, and he was suddenly shocked, and finally woke up.

As soon as he raised his eyes, his eyes just happened to stick to the back of the neck of the person in front of him.

According to etiquette, they all wore the same blue robes.But he saw that the man standing in front of him had a long and slender neck, the line of the side neck stretched like pine wood was submerged in the straight collar, extending a smooth shoulder line.

Xie Ling's gaze slid down along the black hair exposed under the crown of Shen Yi's head, scratched his earlobe, and finally stopped on his shoulder.There, the dawn formed a clear boundary between light and dark, with bright orange in the front and crow blue in the back.

Gee.

Xie Ling twitched the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, he heard the sound of rites and music inside the door, together with the rising sun that had completely passed over the eaves of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, suddenly rose in front of this magnificent hall.At this time, Emperor Hongwu was already sitting in the hall, Zhonghe Shaoyue played the chapter of Longping, and a guard came to the eaves with a whip.After three consecutive whip dances, Danbi played the chapter of Qingping with great music.

Hundreds of officials knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, and the Honglu Temple official declared loudly: "April 23th, [-]rd year of Hongwu. In order to test the tributes of the world, the first class will be awarded Jinshi and rank, the second class will be awarded Jinshi's background, and the third class will be awarded fellow Jinshi birth."

The spirits of the Jinshi who were standing there all knew that it was time.Seeing the holy face for the first time, no one wants to be disrespectful in front of the palace, and some who are particularly nervous have already started to tremble slightly.

"First Class No.1——Shen Yi——"

The resounding sound of the reading resounded all over the world accompanied by the chiming of the bell. At this time, the official of Honglu Temple came to lead him, but he saw the person in No.1 walking forward.

Xie Ling narrowed his eyes and stared at his back, the long wind blew up the sleeves of the blue robe, and when it was lifted up, it looked like the blue feathers of the legendary divine bird.

In the hall where the emperor lived, all the officials bowed their heads, and he was the only one who walked forward calmly in the vast land facing the sun.With a full belly of knowledge and knowledge, he followed the path of success and fame, and finally calmly bowed down under the jade steps of the golden palace.

Xie Ling snorted softly in his heart: It really is a state of affairs.

"First Class No.2 - Xie Ling -"

The corner of Xie Ling's mouth twitched into a smile, and he stepped on the path that the man had just walked step by step, and knelt down on the right side of Yudao.

The transmission lasted for about an hour, and finally Xie Qin felt that his knees were numb.At the end of singing the list, Zhonghe Shaoyue played "The Chapter of Xianping", and the Jinshi kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times, and finally got up.

Many people stood up suddenly after kneeling for a long time, their legs were numb, and they were staggering unsightly.Xie Ling raised his eyes and saw that Shen Bing was shaking when he stood up, he immediately leaned over and stretched out his hand, Ping Ping supported Shen Bing's elbow.

Shen Bing was startled, as if he didn't expect that someone would come to help him.But he reacted very quickly, following Xie Ling's support, he stood still.At this time, they were still in front of the imperial court, and they couldn't look around and whisper. As soon as Shen Ting stood up, Xie Ling withdrew his hand.

The hall officials of the Ministry of Rites hold the list, use the cloud disk to carry the list, and the yellow umbrella leads to go to the Gate of Supreme Harmony and the Meridian Gate to hang the list.Emperor Hongwu has already returned to the palace, and all the officials and all the Jinshi have come out with the gold list, and they are going to hang outside the gate of East Chang'an.

After leaving the palace, everyone relaxed a lot.People gathered on both sides of the street who wanted to watch the gold medals and champions. Amidst the cheers that lined the streets, these students who had studied hard for more than ten years finally straightened their backs and greeted the admiration and admiration around them with a smile on their faces.

The happiest moment in life.

After the list was posted, everyone stayed in front of the gold list to exchange greetings.After Xie Ling had dealt with several waves of courtesies, he felt that his interest was lacking, so he wanted to find an excuse to leave.At this moment, he was stopped.

"Thank you son, please stay."

The voice was soft and clear, coming from behind him, neither high nor low, but overwhelmed the noise around him.

Xie Ling narrowed his eyes slightly and turned around.

It's funny to say that they took the exam together, participated in the feast of visiting flowers in the apricot garden together, and received the gold medal together, but this was the first time the two met each other.

The people around seemed to stop talking at the same time, and peeked here——

For more than ten years, the two great talents who were well-known in the north and south, respectively, finally met in front of the gold list after winning the first prize and the second place respectively.

Shen Bing didn't seem to notice the different gazes of the people around him, with a smile on his lips, he saluted Xie Jin.

His pupils were dark, his eyes were beautifully shaped, but the end of his eyes drooped slightly, giving him a gentle and warm look.Good-looking people can sometimes be aggressive, but Shen Bing is not such a person.When he looks at you, you can't help but want to smile back, and you can't help but want to get close to him and admire him.

Like the willow leaves green in spring and March, like the first snow white in October and new winter.

Lang Yan is unique and unique in the world.

"I have heard about the talent of the young master for a long time, and I am very happy to finally meet you today." Shen Yan smiled slightly, "Just now I almost lost my dignity in front of the palace, thank you for your help."

Xie Ling raised his eyebrows and looked at him, but didn't speak for a while.His eyes were a little scrutinizing, a little condescending, as if he was looking at a certain item.

If it was another man with outstanding appearance, he would be annoyed by being looked at like an actress in a music hall.However, Shen Bing was only slightly surprised, not annoyed, and let him look at him calmly.

After a while, a lazy smile appeared on Xie Ling's handsome face.He opened his mouth and raised his eyebrows with a bit of malice and said with a smile: "You look really good."

The voice is flirtatious.No respect.Laughing with full humor.

Before Shen Bing could react, the people around were already in an uproar.It's good that Shen Yu has outstanding looks, but he is more representative of the students from the poor families in the south, forming a sharp confrontation with the family members represented by Xie Ling.

The aristocratic family and the humble family are the two pillars of the imperial court, and neither side is indispensable.

Seeing that Xie Ling was so disrespectful and even made fun of Shen Bing as soon as he opened his mouth, almost all the students from poor families present were annoyed.

However, Shen Yi, who was in the center of the crowd, was not annoyed.He was still so calm, looking at Xie Ling with a three-point smile, as if it was not worth mentioning: "Young master is absurd. If you don't read poetry and books, don't practice Zhou rituals, any kind of skin is just a carrion."

Beautifully said!The poor students around shouted hello in their hearts.Thanks to you, Xie Sanlang, with the talent name of "Langyu in the capital", you are actually an idiot who only looks at the appearance, and you deserve to be firmly placed in the No.2 position.

But those who knew Xie Ling well knew that he would not give up easily, and they all nervously waited to see how he would answer.

However, under the attention of everyone, Xie Qin raised his eyebrows and smiled casually: "Well, you are right."

Everyone was stunned.But he casually bowed to Shen Yi and said: "We have time to have wine together."

After saying that, he turned his head and walked away regardless of the staring people.

This... what is the situation.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and what they thought was a tit-for-tat confrontation disappeared in an instant.

Could it be that Xie Sanlang's temper has changed for the better?

And Shen Yi still stood there, looking at Xie Ling's leaving back.After a long time, he suddenly chuckled and shook his head.

"Liangqing." At this time, other poor family children took the grievances on his behalf, "Then Xie Ling is so rude, how can you still laugh?"

Shen Yan turned back with a smile: "It's just a mediocre person, don't be too harsh... let's go, gentlemen, would you like to go hand in hand with me?"
