  Chapter 93 Congratulations

   "Brother Li."

   "Sunrise."

   "Da Lang."

   Li Ang strode towards the eagerly awaited students from Yunzhou. Chai Cuiqiao trotted down from the pavilion and asked nervously, "How is it?"

   "That's right, it's okay."

  Li Ang smiled and waved his hand, "It's considered passed."

"good!"

   The loud cheers of the students from Yanzhou made everyone present stare at them.

A young scholar from other places who has passed the school entrance age and came to watch the ceremony whispered sourly to his friends beside him: "Who is this? We are celebrating so happily now, don't just hand in the paper and leave the venue early if you can't answer it .”

   "I have reached the last level of the final school exam, how could someone voluntarily leave the stage."

  The friend next to him said helplessly: "And that person is the second in the first exam of the academy, and the first in the re-examination. This time he is the first to come out. It seems that this year's champion will fall in Weizhou."

   Discussions spread among the crowd watching the ceremony. Li Ang didn't listen to the noise, and was surrounded by students from Yanzhou with a helpless expression on his horse, and headed south.

   Li Ang slid quickly, and the eyes of the audience watching the ceremony fell on He Fanshuang.

  Parents with children still in the examination room, as well as idlers who came to watch the ceremony, all hurriedly asked He Fanshuang about the content and difficulty of the exam, and whether they had seen their children.

   "Everyone, please excuse me."

  A gentle male voice sounded, and the crowd was naturally separated by an invisible and soft force.

   "Brother, Aye, Auntie."

  He Fanshuang smiled and greeted the loyal and simple old farmer, or the old farmer's parents, and the handsome elder brother in white robes, and the family boarded the carriage and left.

   "Who is this?"

  The young scholar from out of town subconsciously asked, but the friend beside him said in shock, "He He Siping?!"

   "Who? Famous?"

   "Prince East Palace, is the fifth rank under Zuochunfang Zhongyun, a high-ranking Cloud Xun Realm that is only one step away from the Candle Sky Realm."

  The friend next to him breathed in and said, "At the same time, he was also the champion of the three exams in the academy eight years ago."

   "One son and one daughter are all admitted to the academy, how did their parents teach them?"

   "I heard that their parents used to be tenant farmers outside Chang'an City."

  ——

  Li Ang, who was riding a horse, walked around Chang'an City surrounded by his companions with a helpless expression.

  The jinshi group, which specially organizes celebrations for new jinshi, heard the news and came here on their own initiative. They played drums, gongs, drums, sizhu, and shouted to open the way.

  Apricot flower is the first flower of Jinshi in Yu State, and the custom of peony as the national flower can be traced back to the infatuation of the empress.

   Xiangguo Temple, Qujiang Pond, Furong Garden.

  Revisiting the old place, the mood is naturally different. The Jinshi group and the students from Weizhou, Zhang Luo wanted to prepare a banquet for Li Ang in Furong Garden, but Li Ang politely refused on the grounds of "physical and mental fatigue".

  Everyone expressed their understanding. The final exam in the school was exhausting, and they had to go to the imperial city to face the emperor at night, so they should take a good rest.

  So everyone surrounded Li Ang and returned to Huaidefang Hotel.

  The owner of the hotel—a wealthy businessman in the West Market who had never seen his face before, rushed over when he heard the news, congratulated Li Ang continuously, and asked his subordinates to take the time to tidy up the courtyard.

  Remove the weeds in the courtyard, plant precious flowers, brush the fur of the bay red horse, and lay bluestone slabs on the courtyard floor, so busy.

   also insisted on refunding the rent paid by all the students from Weizhou during this period,

   He also said something like "This house was once lived in by the number one scholar in the school, and it smelled like a Wenqu star. In the future, I will live in it for my own children, and I can't just rent it out to others", which made Li Ang dumbfounded.

   A group of people gathered around Huaidefang to celebrate the news of being the number one scholar in the Academy. Once it was spread to ten, ten to hundreds, Li Ang soon saw the enthusiasm of the Chang'an people.

   All things are listed, the alley is empty, and the citizens of Chang'an who want to see what the top scholar of the academy looks like surrounded Huaidefang three times inside and outside three circles.

  Citizens in the outermost Chang'an have begun to spread the word that Li Ang "looks like Pan An, loves Song Yu, and is better than Zijian".

  Many merchants from all over the world sent a variety of gifts,

  Stewards from all the houses, I have sent greetings from the families of nobles and ministers,

  The fellow villagers of Weizhou in Chang'an surrounded Li Ang enthusiastically, congratulating him continuously in Weizhou dialect.

  People are almost numb.

   Li Ang, who was the focus of the crowd, had to squeeze into the yard after a lot of effort, leaving the work of receiving guests to the Jinshi group who recommended himself.

   And let Zhai Yiming and others go back to Suzaku Gate to wait for Ji Linglang, Yang Yu and others who have not yet come out—in case they come out and no one celebrates.

  The Chang'an Jinshi Group has rich experience in receiving guests, but the leading man still reminded Li Ang in a low voice that some of the nobles and ministers who came to hand over the greeting cards in the afternoon were here to make connections, and some were here to recruit their son-in-law.

   It is not news that the nobles in Chang'an will find a husband for their daughter from among the newly promoted Jinshi.

  The status and future of the disciples admitted to the Academy are even higher than Jinshi. So much so that there is a custom in Chang'an of "catching a son-in-law under the list". Every time the school releases a list, there will be rich and noble people robbing someone to become a son-in-law.

   What's more, Li Ang didn't fail to practice for the rest of his life like Xi Yangyu said, and he directly won the first prize in the academy, with a bright future.

  As long as the marriage contract is made now, even if the emperor wants to marry at night, it will not be so easy.

  The greetings from wealthy merchants are easy to pass,

  Dan Shangshu, Shizhong, Shilang, Langzhong, Siqing, General, Guogong's greeting card.

   It is not so easy.

   "First come to take Gao Di, official assistant to the East Palace Army. Welcome the wife to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and praise the group of outstanding scholars."

  Song Shaoyuan laughed in a low voice: "Risheng, you are blessed. Have you chosen which prime minister to marry, the daughter of the prince and county king?"

   "Brother Song, stop making fun of me."

   Li Angchao and Song Shaoyuan, who stood together with Qianjiao Baimeiyou, rolled his eyes,

  Although the Academy does not prohibit disciples from getting engaged,

   But at first, he didn't want to get married now, and let people he didn't know intervene in his life,

  Secondly, a noble family respects family status, and the etiquette is complicated and complicated. It is definitely not a good thing to live together.

  For example, in the past, a scholar became the son-in-law of a prime minister. Since he had never seen the market, he took the bath beans offered by the maid for bathing as food, and ate them with hot water, which was passed down as a joke.

   As for the princess and princess of the imperial family, that would be even more of a disaster.

  Everyone knows that many princesses of the Li family are arrogant, extravagant, and even somewhat corrupt.

   But don't.

   Li Ang shook his head, and when he was thinking hard about how to deal with the invitation, the people from Yan Mansion finally came.

  Yan Mansion knew that Li Ang was going to participate in the final exam today, but he didn’t come because he knew that Li Ang didn’t have spiritual talent.

   Now that I have passed the exam, I have no worries.

  Yanlin's eldest son and second son acted as bridesmaids for Li Ang, receiving guests, and they were able to handle the invitations from the noble mansion.

   And Li Ang also took advantage of this opportunity to enter the room with Chai Cuiqiao, heaved a sigh of relief, fell on the bed, and pressed the pain between his brows.
