Lang Jun is coming

Not long after, the servant brought the copper stove for the Paxia offering, as well as the dishes they wanted.

The fire was simmering under the copper stove, and the fresh soup in the pot was boiling. The mutton was sliced ​​into thin slices and placed on the green pomelo plate, and two spicy plates made of leeks were placed beside it.

Xu is special today, the number of literati and elegant guests entering and leaving the Zhonghe Building is more than double than usual.Seeing that they had asked for a private room by the window, the young man smiled and greeted, "Your Majesty, are you here to watch the newly promoted Jinshi parade?"

Before Pei Lian and Song Yiqing could reply, the servant had already continued talking on his own.

"I heard that this year's top three are all well-rounded talents. Especially Tan Hualang, who is even more brilliant."

Even ordinary people like servants have never touched the matter of reading.However, the reading atmosphere in Heng Dynasty has been more than 200 years.Not to mention being a Jinshi, even if there is a Gongshi in the family, everyone feels that the lintel is glorious, and naturally everyone admires it.

"Tanhualang is Wu Shunqin from Wu County, Ningzhou?"

After eating the chopsticks full of mountain incense in his hand, Song Yiqing rarely interjected to ask a question.

Pei Lian threw a few slices of mutton into the pot, watched it disappear under the boiling white soup, remembered the time when the mutton was neither old nor tender, and smiled indecently.

"See brother Zhang knows?"

He was used to hearing "Achi" one by one, but at this moment he suddenly changed his address, Song Yiqing couldn't help being a little dazed, and then replied: "My husband mentioned it yesterday."

He had a clear mind and reported all the surnames and origins of the top three this year.How can there be the taciturn appearance just now, which is completely different from the character of the little lady.

Besides, where did the little lady get "Sir" from?

This kind of change made the young servant's expression tense, and he looked over the guests in front of him. Thinking that Heng Chao used to raise the frail man as a young lady, in order to pray to deceive ghosts and gods, he felt more apprehensive and cautious.Knowing that he had mistaken his identity for the first time, he scratched his head in embarrassment and apologized.

"Just now, the villain's eyes are clumsy, and he mistook the identity of the gentleman."

After finishing speaking, he still didn't forget to glance at Pei Lian who was cooking mutton, thinking that this gentleman is also used to joking just now.

"It's okay."

Song Yiqing gently waved his hand.

Seeing that there was no reproach on his face, the servant was relieved.

Huaijing was the capital of Heng Dynasty.Being at the foot of the capital meant that a roof tile could hit a fifth-rank official.It's best to be cautious in everything, lest trouble come to your door.

It's best if the other party doesn't care about it, the servant took the tray and opened the curtain to leave.Occasionally, the wind blows in from the window, and the curtain shakes, vaguely revealing the figure walking in the corridor.

Pei Lian took out the boiled mutton and put it in Song Yiqing's bowl naturally, and then added a few more slices.He was busy with his hands, but when he opened his mouth, he repeated the top three again.

"Xie Qian from Xinfan County in Yizhou, Gu Huaibi from Congping County in the south of the Yangtze River, and Wu Shunqin from Wu County in Ningzhou. These three are all top three officials."

The number of Jinshi this year is much less than in previous years. The most intuitive thing is that there were only a few people in the first rank of Jinshi, but there are only three people, the number one scholar, the second place, and Tanhualang.

Many candidates came out of the Chongzheng Palace with sighs, complaining that this year's policy discussion is different from the past.Song Yiqing, who will take the imperial examination next year, naturally needs to pay more attention.

"In previous years, Jinshi's parade was rarely so spectacular. It seems that the officials value these three people very much."

Song Yiqing didn't refuse the meat that was delivered, and just rolled it back and forth in the spicy dish a few times and put it in his mouth.The smell of meat spreads in the mouth with numbness.You don't need to pay for it yourself, the mutton at [-] Wen a catty really tastes great.

Halfway through the meal, the three finally arrived.The crowd suddenly retreated to both sides, and the sound of musical instruments came from the Jinshui Bridge.
