Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 774 High School Champion (4 more)
April 130, 26, Chu calendar.

This day is a historic day, the palace examination results, the crown prince got married, and Emperor Guangxi abdicated.

Also, the day when Song Yuanbao married a girl from the Ye family.

The auspicious time for the Song family to welcome the bride is at dusk, so even if the yard is full of red, Song Yuanbao, the bridegroom-to-be, still has time to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to listen to the officials of the Honglu Temple.

He left with Xu Dengke and set off before dawn. When he arrived, there were already many candidates queuing up.

It was still early, and the gate of Chang'an had not yet opened.

Some people saw the two of them with keen eyes, and rushed over to congratulate them, "Young Master Song, what a happy wedding!"

Song Yuanbao cupped his hands with a smile, "Thank you everyone, after listening to the list, go to the house for a wedding!"

Regardless of whether these candidates said this congratulations from the bottom of their hearts or with other intentions, in a word, today is the most important day in his life, and Song Yuanbao can ignore it all.

After all, the wedding date collided with the prince, and all the civil and military officials went to attend the prince's wedding, and the only guests who could come to my side were classmates and these candidates except for the female relatives of the various houses.

He didn't want the bride to feel deserted.

Right at that time, officials from Honglu Temple arrived one after another, and the heavy Chang'an Gate slowly opened from both sides, and candidates entered one by one with excitement and apprehension.

After entering the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the minister of Honglu Temple stood up to Danbi and read an opening remark, which meant that he would call the names of the top three in a while, and the person who read the name would stand up, and then the number one scholar would follow Hong The officials of Lu Temple walked to the left side of the road in the hall and knelt down, the second place knelt on the right side of the road in the hall, and finally Tanhua knelt on the left side of the road in the hall.

These three people have the most fame, so each person is called three times, and then the second and third best are not read one by one, but who are the names of each ranking.

Because of preparations for the big wedding, Song Yuanbao was busy until midnight. As soon as he closed his eyes, the rooster crowed and was called to rush to Chang'an Gate. Now he listened to Honglu Siqing's honking, and he became a little sleepy, and his eyelids became more and more dizzy. heavier.

I don't know how long it took before the Minister of Honglu Temple finally finished his speech and began to announce this year's top three.

"First Class No. 1——" Honglu Temple Minister prolonged the ending, and continued to read, "Song Hao——"

The Honglu Temple official who was in charge of leading them to kneel looked up, but no one came out.

He looked again, but still no one came out, so he couldn't help but look at Minister Honglusi.

The Minister of Honglu Temple thought that Zhuangyuan Lang hadn't heard it, so he read it again.

Still nothing.

At this time, everyone's eyes were cast over, and then they saw that Zhuangyuan Lang was standing there and fell asleep.

Candidates: "..."

Minister of Honglu Temple: "..."

Xu Dengke didn't stand in the same row with Song Yuanbao. It was only at this time that he realized that something was wrong with Song Yuanbao. He quickly moved behind him and whispered something in his ear.

Song Yuanbao was sleepy at first, but when he heard that sentence, he woke up suddenly, but when he saw that everyone's eyes were on him, he suddenly realized that he was listening to the list in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Eye to eye with Honglu Siqing for a moment, he laughed dryly, "Go on, go on."

The candidates couldn't help laughing.

The minister of Honglu Temple stroked his beard, "Our number one scholar this year is really different. He was famous for having a big sleep during the provincial examination. Now that he has passed the palace examination, he is still sleeping after listening to the ranking. Sleepiness can still win the first prize in the exam, so it can be seen that this is God's reward for food, and a natural star of Wenqu descends to earth, you should learn more in the future."

Inside and outside the words, there is no lack of irony.

In fact, Song Yuanbao was able to win the first prize, as early as everyone expected, who made his father Song Wei?

Who is Song Wei?

The emperor is his brother-in-law, the prince is her brother-in-law, the eldest princess is his mother-in-law, and Marquis Changning is his father-in-law.

Such a winner in life, his son will naturally receive special attention, so if you put any water on the palace examination list, the champion will naturally fall on top of Song Yuanbao.

Otherwise, how can a person who fell asleep while listening to the rankings at the Hall of Supreme Harmony be worthy of being the champion in the provincial examination field?
But these words, the examinees can only hold back in their hearts, and dare not make a fuss, otherwise they will be permanently disqualified from being an official and pay for their fate for the rest of their lives.

Seeing everyone's faces, Xu Dengke's face turned cold, and he said: "Yuan Bao has been busy with the big wedding these days, and he hasn't had enough rest. It is not illegal to take a nap occasionally. Please continue to read, sir."

Yuan Bao was admitted based on his strength. No one knows this better than him. They did discuss the issue of the Jiuli tribe in private, but at that time no one came up with a definite solution, and Song Wei did not reveal it to them. What will happen to the crown prince?

It can be seen from this that Song Yuanbao has no possibility of cheating.

As for the release of water on the list?

The crown prince has long said that the top three articles of Yijia will be rubbed and sent to the Imperial College for the students to read. In addition, the plans they gave will be put into practice to solve the conflict between the Chu State and the Jiuli Clan. problem of cultural integration.

Under such harsh conditions, if the list is released, can the officials and students of the Imperial College blindly see who is better and who is worse?
Those who said that Song Yuanbao went through the back door probably either hated the rich or were jealous.

Song Yuanbao was not an innocent young man, so he could naturally feel the meaningful eyes of the minister of Honghe Temple and the examinees around him. As if nothing had happened, he followed the officials of Honghe Temple to the designated place and knelt down.

The Minister of Honglu Temple withdrew his gaze, and said loudly, "No. 2 in the first class, Deng Changwei——"

Deng Changwei, like Song Yuanbao, is a student of the Imperial College, but this is an old supervisor, more than twice the age of Song Yuanbao.

Hearing the roll call, he excitedly walked to the designated place and knelt down. He must have been in the second place in high school after taking the exam for many years. As soon as he knelt down, he began to cry.

The Minister of Honglu Temple slowed down, and continued to read.

"First Class No.3, Xu Dengke——"

Hearing the roll call, Song Yuanbao glanced sideways at Deng Changwei's face, and instantly understood why Xu Dengke was Tanhualang.

This unwritten rule of Chu State is really annoying and funny.

The champion is judged by talent, and the prodigy is judged by face.

If not, Xu Dengke should be ranked second in the list. Unfortunately, he has an elegant and handsome face, just like Song Wei back then.

Xu Dengke quickly came out of the queue, and as the Honglu Temple officials walked to his place and knelt down, there were murmurs of joy from the candidates of the same class behind him, but he ignored it, and his back was very straight.

His position was directly behind Song Yuanbao, but it was a little far away.

While Honglu Siqing was reading the top two list, Song Yuanbao turned his head and gave Xu Dengke a thumbs up with a smile.

Xu Dengke also smiled at him, obviously congratulating him on the number one scholar in high school, and now he can marry Meijiao Niang without distraction.

I read this list for half an hour.

According to the rules of etiquette, after listening to the list, three hundred examinees would kneel down three times and kowtow nine times to the emperor, thanking the emperor for his great kindness, but at this time, Emperor Guangxi was abdicating in the golden palace.
