Zhu Pingan in Feng Bao’s assistance to replace the scholar crown clothing, the scholar crown clothing everywhere highlights the superiority of the different from the other entrants, more close to the civil and military officials of the court dress, the two beams of the crown, a pure gold crown hairpin, the green tassel from the bottom of the chin around.
The scholar’s robe is scarlet-coloured, different from the green-coloured robe of the other scholars, and more conspicuous and noble. The belt was the light veined silver belt of a sixth grade official, and there was a medicine jade pendant with a pearl tassel hanging down.
The only thing that is a little upset is that the two rows of dot cui hairpins on the hat are also bigger than the scholar, a big boy with such two rows of dot cui hairpins, how to feel a little strange feeling.
“Scholarship scholar, you are truly a talented man.” Feng Bao complimented Zhu Pingan after he changed into his scholar’s crown.
“Eunuch Feng is joking, I am about the lowest face value of the Scholarship Lang since the founding of my Great Ming, haha ……” Zhu Pingan shook his head slightly and laughed, he was still very self-aware of his own face value, even if this Scholar’s Crown Costume had an additive effect, he could not reach the point of being an outstanding talent.
Zhu Pingan and other three people change the crown and return to the front of the main hall, there are several palace people come with a tray, the tray with three cups of imperial wine, one by one presented to the scholar Zhu Pingan and the top scorer and the scout, the three people end of the imperial wine remote towards the direction of the west garden where the Jiajing emperor lives, and then a drink, the cup of wine once again placed on the tray.
The imperial street boasts of the official also officially began, in fact, the imperial street boasts of the official in essence is the first scholar to lead the scholar to go to Chang’an outside the left gate to see the official posting the golden list, and then go home.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, and other departments held the golden list and walked at the front, Zhu Pingan led the top scorer and the scholar groom in the middle, and the rest of the scholars walked at the back.
Walking together, but the paths were different.
Zhu Pingan led the top scorer and the scholar to walk on the imperial road of the palace, and everyone else was walking on the side. This imperial road was generally only accessible to the Emperor, even the Empress could only walk once on her wedding day, and then could never walk again.
Of course, Zhu Pingan and the others could only walk this once, but this time for the millions of readers in the Ming Dynasty. This was the highest honour! The absolute highest honour! An honour that one could only dream of!
Zhu Pingan walked up without feeling anything, but the back of the top scorer and the scout is different, Zhu Pingan walked and felt wrong, looked back. Uh, behind these two excited are fast will not walk, and the face is also exaggerated with two bubbles of hot tears ……
Not so, Zhu Pingan looked at the two excited people, but after thinking about it, he understood. The three great joys of life. The golden list is the first of them.
Han Yupeng looked at the front of the calm and relaxed and leisure to look back at Zhu Pingan, admiration of the five body to the ground, the first prize is the first prize, look at the others this is not to things not to their own sadness mentality, their own can not be. Originally he did not think he could be in the eye of the list, he has a relationship but not hard, far less than the relationship of the household Ouyang Zishi; on the level of it, the last test he was only the sixth, from the results of the yuan Zhu Pingan and so on the level of much higher than he is, and to the temple test pass pass the list. Suddenly a list on the head of their own, this heavenly great joy, if it is not concerned about this is the palace hall as well as take care of the front of the Ouyang son of the mood, Han Yupeng estimate can howl out in order to vent the heart of the ecstasy and excitement of the feelings.
At the moment walking in the emperor can walk on the imperial road, Han Yupeng heart this excitement can not be described.
Thinking that there is only one chance in a lifetime to set foot on the imperial road, and in order to take care of the two people behind him, Zhu Pingan slowly slowed down his pace.
Walking slowly, originally only need ten minutes to Taihe Gate, Zhu Pingan used nearly half an hour to arrive at Taihe Gate.
Han Yupeng, the top scorer, and the scholar looked at Zhu Pingan’s steady pace and couldn’t wait to give Zhu Pingan a hundred compliments.
When crossing the Taihe Gate. Walking is also only the emperor can go can of the main door, after the door and then continue to go forward, and then again to the noon gate. Noon Gate is also known as the “five phoenix building”, because the Noon Gate has a total of five gate tower. The main building is like a phoenix spreading its wings and ready to fly, so it is called the five phoenix buildings. The doorway of the Noon Gate is a very unique design, from the front there are three doorways, but from the back there are five doorways. When Zhu Pingan arrived at the Noon Gate, the guards on duty in front of the Noon Gate opened the main gate and the tucked doors on both sides, and the tucked doors could only be seen from the side.
Zhu Pingan led the top scorer and the scholar to go through the main gate. The civil officials led the rest of the new entrants to go through the east side of the tuck door, and the military officials went through the west side of the tuck door.
After leaving the noon gate, there were more drums and royal battles, the drums and gongs were noisy, blowing and beating up, guided by the drums and royal battles, they went out of the Duanmen Gate and Chengtianmen Gate in order, and then passed through a very vast square, before arriving at the Chang’an left gate at the northeastern corner of the Damingmen Gate.
Because all the years of the Imperial Examination list to be hung in Chang’an left door, so Chang’an left door is also known as the Dragon Gate, the students into this list is the carp leap Dragon Gate, became the attention of the nouveau riche.
At the moment, the left gate of Chang’an was decorated especially festive, set up a temporary “dragon shed”, hanging red silk cloth lanterns, Zhu Pingan they stepped into the dragon shed, watching the Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites officials posted the golden list.
The golden list is magnificent, covered with the “Emperor’s treasure” seal, the new entrants look at the posted golden list, the corners of the eyes of the tears of excitement crossed ……
After the golden list was posted, the Shun Tian Prefect who had been waiting for a long time led two officials to come up, Shun Tian Prefect came up and said congratulations congratulations, and then he could not help but drape a big red silk diagonally over Zhu Ping An’s body, in front of the chest is exactly a big red flower, and on the hat, he also gave Zhu Ping An hairpin with a big red flower.
The other two officials similarly draped a large red silk and pinned a large red flower on the top scorer and the scout.
The rest of the jinshi looked at the three with envious faces, especially Ouyang Zishi, who looked at Zhu Pingan with a look of envy and jealousy.
Soon, there are people to bring to the three hair colour pure red tall steed, saddle dyed gold, whip is made of gold silk weaving, Zhu Pingan was the first to step on the stool turned over to ride on one of the most handsome tall steed, holding the gold silk whip walked in the forefront, the top and flower scout two people on horseback followed closely, the rest of the scholar on foot then, all the way to Chang’an Street and go.
In front of the police officers flag and drum to open the way, holding the scholar lamp, carrying a written “scholar and Zhu Pingan”, “three successive winners” and other red and yellow flag and Feng plate in front, blowing and beating drums and gongs and drums, firecrackers sounding.
Of course, more enthusiastic or the people of the capital.
At this moment, all the people in the capital swarmed up to the head of Chang’an Street, and all the places where people could stand were full of people on the roadside, upstairs of the shop, etc., and they scrambled up to the street, and stretched their necks with their toes, and looked at the street one after another.
Even the girls who usually don’t go out, don’t step out of the door, also all dressed up, ran out, want to see what the first prize winner looks like.
On this day, it was also rare for the family not to restrain them.
The streets of Chang’an were crowded with people! Ten thousand people came out to see the scholar groom!
