Happy Marriage

When An Sheng heard the cheers from the outside in the carriage, he immediately became excited: "I don't know if there is a stunned young man from the Yang family?"

The crowd was crowded, and Leng Nanxian hurriedly ordered Uncle Leng to drive the carriage to the side of the street, and be careful to control it, so as not to shock the sky and startle the horse again.

Leng Bo got out of the car, held the bridle, raised his voice to remind the onlookers, and parked the carriage.

At this time, the parade team had marched all the way from Longmen to the front, and the umbrella canopy was seen in the distance, and the gongs in the hands of the yamen who opened the way were also deafening.

An Sheng got out of the carriage and simply stood on the carriage, waiting eagerly.

The first person who appeared in his eyes was the first-named Zhuang Yuan Lang, about forty years old, with a fat figure, a slight beard, wearing a golden flower black gauze hat, wearing a royal robe with a royal red python robe, holding the emperor's hand-picked holy edict, and his face was full of pride in spring breeze. red light.

It wasn't Yang Chengye, An Sheng was slightly disappointed and continued to look back.

The people onlookers whispered: "It's strange, how come there are only four people in the top three of Jinshi this year?"

His words immediately aroused the curiosity of the people next to him, no longer looking at the first name and champion style, but invariably stretched his neck and looked back.

They all said: "As expected, it seems that there are two Tanhua Lang. They are all handsome officials."

An Sheng is also Nahan, holding the carport and standing on tiptoe. Leng Nanxian hurriedly warned: "Be careful, don't fall.

After the second place in the list, two horses with golden saddles and red manes walked side by side in bridles. The two handsome and romantic scholars on the horse were also wearing brand-new python robes, with golden boots on their feet, and their eyebrows were flying.

An Sheng rubbed his eyes, his body crooked, and he almost fell off his horse.

"Master, Master!" Her voice changed involuntarily: "Quick, look!"

Leng Nanxian kept looking at the car curtain, and when he heard An Sheng's excitement, he also leaned out halfway and looked behind.

He also saw clearly, and was equally stunned.

Immediately, the two were none other than Yang Chengye and Meng Jinglun!

"Meng, didn't Brother Meng fall off the list? Why is he here?"

Leng Nanxian could not answer this question.

The two were approaching, An Sheng stood tall and stood out in the crowd. Meng Jinglun saw her dumbfounded at a glance, and smiled and winked at her, changing from the previous depression and becoming a little more humorous.

Meng Jinglun smiled and said a word to Yang Chengye, who also looked here. When the two saw Leng Nanxian, they cupped their hands at him.

Leng Nanxian also smiled slightly as a gift.

An Sheng excitedly waved at the two of them: "Brother Meng, Brother Yang!"

Her shout immediately attracted the eyes of everyone, Leng Nanxian tugged at her hand: "Come back!"

An Sheng watched the two of them leave reluctantly, and then he felt the eyes of everyone, stuck his tongue out embarrassedly, and got back into the carriage.

Outside the car window, the discussion was louder: "Then Tanhualang is not the son of the Meng family in the house of the minister of the Ministry of Rites? Didn't you hear that he failed the list?"

"The other Tanhua Lang doesn't know what's going on?"

"I heard that he is also the leader of the Hanlin Academy. This year, the academy has even raised two Tanhua Lang! The academician is so proud!"

For a time, this limelight even overshadowed the new champion.

Leng Nanxian asked An Sheng with a smile, "Do you still go to the temple fair?"

An Sheng shook his head impatiently: "Don't go, don't go, go to my sister's house, I'm going to congratulate my sister!"

Leng Nanxian shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Is this a wish fulfilled?"

An Sheng's whole face glowed with radiance, and he couldn't sit or lie down in the carriage: "Naturally, naturally, my sister is happy, and I am naturally happy for her."

The crowd had gradually dispersed along with the parade. Uncle Leng turned his horse around and headed straight for Meng's house.

At the gate of Meng Mansion, there was a steady stream of Hexi people, blocking many crowds watching the fun.

An Sheng, Leng Nanxian and others were afraid of congestion, so they took a detour and arrived at the Shilang's Mansion at the same time as Meng Jinglun. Just watched a lively one.

The Meng family has already received the good news, Shi Lang Meng, Madam Meng, and An Ran, Meng Jingxian put on new clothes, combed her hair neatly, and stood at the door of the mansion to welcome Tanhua Lang Rongguang back to the mansion.

Hexi's came wave after wave, and Mrs. Meng laughed so hard that she was soft on the rewards, but she was still not stingy.

There were a lot of people waiting to watch the excitement around the gate of Meng Mansion. Mr. Meng ordered people to exchange copper coins and threw them out in large quantities.

When Meng Jinglun and Yang Chengye arrived at Meng Mansion, they all dismounted.

Onlookers were naturally more surprised.

The two stepped forward and bowed down in the dust at both Lord Meng and Mrs. Meng.

Lord Meng stepped forward to help Meng Jinglun, while Mrs. Meng helped Yang Chengye with a smile.

An Ran and Aunt Meng Jingxian were also flushed with excitement behind them.

Yang Chengye glanced at the shy Meng Jingxian, and said solemnly to Madam Meng: "Aunt Meng, uncle, little nephew begging to marry Miss Jingxian, and uncle and aunt Yucheng."

Mrs. Meng looked up and down Yang Chengye with satisfaction: "Good boy with affection and righteousness, thanks to you today, you can trust Jingxian to your aunt. I promise, I promise!"

Yang Chengye happily lifted the hem of his clothes, turned over and bowed to the ground again, and said loudly, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law are above, please accept Chengye's worship."

The crowd burst into an uproar.

An Sheng could hear it clearly in the carriage, and couldn't help but "puchi" a smile: "It really is a stunned young man, so impatient, just about to get married, his father-in-law and mother-in-law couldn't wait to call."

Leng Nanxian glanced at her and pursed her lips: "After thinking about it for so long, I finally got what I wanted today, so I'm naturally anxious."

When Meng Jingxian heard Yang Chengye's name, she immediately stomped her feet in embarrassment and spat, "Lengtouqing", turned around and was about to go back to the house, but An Ran grabbed her and joked with a smile, "Double happiness is coming. Beautiful things, do you want to hide and snicker?"

Meng Jingxian twisted her body: "Sister-in-law!"

Mrs. Meng smiled and said: "It's not just a double happiness, but a triple happiness. In two days, An Ran will give birth to a son for my Meng residence, which will be the fourth happiness."

An Ran was also teased, and shyly hooked her head.

Meng Jinglun embarrassedly said to An Ran, "I've made you worry about me these days."

Master Meng was very happy, and repeatedly ordered the servants in the mansion to prepare the reward again and distribute it to the onlookers.

The people flocked to celebrate.

An Sheng and Leng Nanxian got off the carriage and went over to join in the fun, cupping their hands and saying, "Mrs. Meng Shao, Madam Yang, congratulations!"

An Ran just regarded it as an ordinary congratulatory person, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you!"

Turning her face, she realized that it was An Sheng, and pushed her with a smile: "Stinky girl, join in the fun too."

An Sheng stretched out his hand and begged for An Ran's reward: "Reward money, reward money!"

An Ran took a copper plate and stuffed it into her palm solemnly.

An Sheng snorted: "Big Brother Meng and Big Brother Yang are together Tanhualang, what a happy event, that I was sent away with a single coin. In a few days, my little nephew was born, and I still have to pay it back. You are so stingy. ."

Meng Jinglun and Yang Chengye saw An Sheng and the others, turned around, and gave them a serious bow.

This gift was a bit big, and Leng Nanxian hurriedly returned the gift: "How can the two brothers give such a big gift? Leng can't bear it."

Yang Chengye raised his body and said with a sincere smile, "We can both be at the top of the list together. We can achieve everything we want, and rely on the advice of Leng Shenyi, which will benefit a lot. Therefore, Leng Shenyi can receive this gift."

On the side, Lord Meng also echoed: "Yes, yes, the child can have today's fame, and Leng Shenyi's contribution is indispensable. This ceremony should be done."

An Sheng became more and more inexplicable, and he did not know why.

Leng Nanxian said humbly: "Master Meng is serious. Brother Meng and Brother Yang can stand out because of their true talents and practical learning.

"Dr. Leng is a great talent. I should be ashamed of myself, so I don't have to be too modest. Today, I will be honoring Doctor Leng as our guest. You should eat more toasts for the two of us." Meng Jinglun insisted. .

The family expressed their enthusiasm for boxing, but they were disrespectful, and An Sheng and Leng Nanxian entered the mansion surrounded by the crowd. Mrs. Meng arranged for the banquet.

Master Meng's colleagues in the court also sent congratulatory gifts one after another, and Meng Jinglun and him were in the front hall with him, and they were at a loss for avatars.

Yang Chengye first returned to the house to announce the good news, and then came back to attend the banquet.

An Ran and Meng Jingxian invited An Sheng and Leng Nanxian into a secluded room to have tea and talk.

An Sheng couldn't hold back his curiosity immediately and asked what was going on? How come Meng Jinglun has become famous, and is still a high school tanhualang?

An Ran smiled without saying a word, looked at Meng Jingxian, Meng Jingxian didn't give a shit, and immediately explained it.

It turned out that in the first palace exam, the emperor assessed the current affairs of the tributes, and the second year of the junior year made a list.

Today, on the third day of the new year, the emperor personally summoned the top three jinshi.

This is a good thing to honor the ancestors.

Above the golden hall, Yang Chengye actually knelt down on top of Dan Chi, asking the emperor to deceive himself.

At that time, everyone was naturally shocked, there was an uproar, and Lord Meng was even more shocked.

The emperor cherished his talents and asked Yang Chengye what he was guilty of?

Yang Chengye was in no hurry, and frankly admitted that many of his articles on the palace exam were not his own thoughts, but came from Meng Jinglun's articles in the exam. After being commented on by experts, I understood my shortcomings and learned from each other's strengths to make up for my shortcomings, and then I achieved this fame.

At that time, Lord Meng immediately understood Yang Chengye's painstaking efforts, and stepped forward to plead for Yang Chengye.

The emperor asked, and learned that the Meng Jinglun that Yang Chengye said was the son of the Meng family, gave Meng Shilang a little face, and did not attack on the spot, but ordered someone to bring Meng Jinglun and Yang Chengye to test it at the meeting. time exam papers.

In contrast to the two sides of the emperor, he suddenly fell in love with talents, and called Meng Jinglun into the dynasty, and made him play on the spot with another proposition.

Meng Jinglun was not in a hurry or panic, but he pondered for a while, splashed ink, and wrote an eight-legged article on the spot.

After reading it, the emperor praised Meng Jinglun for his profound knowledge, quick thinking, and pragmatic insights. He is also a rare talent. However, Yang Chengye was not jealous of the virtuous, and he was successful in recommending him. He was also forgiven for the crime of deceiving the king, and his original reputation remained unchanged.

Because the rank of jinshi was not easy to change, the emperor broke the precedent and picked Meng Jinglun to be the third flower on the spot.
