Chapter 505 The Six Head of State's Son's Sweetheart
After all, a scholar is a knowledgeable person recognized by the common people.
As the saying goes, "a scholar can know the world's affairs without going out."
What's more, they are not scholars, they are juren, even better than scholars!
This unhealthy trend has been stopped, but some people are not reconciled, and would rather fight to the death. If the Bo wins, it will be the future emperor's family. Let's take a look at the Zhou family. Now Zhou Ying is not the original Zhou Ying, not only As an official, he was also entrusted with important tasks by the emperor.
The Zhou family was not a wealthy family in the first place!
During the holidays, people who come to the door to give gifts are like crucian carp crossing the river.
Therefore, Wan An struggled hard. Over the years, he has gained some influence at the bottom. In addition, he was once Emperor Xianzong's "sexual friend", and the two have been similar for many years. Even though he has lost power in recruiting people, the foundation he had back then is somewhat still there.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have thrived at the bottom.
The families who were married back then are still there, and those families are all high-ranking officials, the threshold is too high, it is impossible for women of the right age to live in the East Palace.
Wanjia is different.
Because the "Wan" family is also the surname of the prince's surname, this is an advantage.
Wantong's family has only one son, who is adopted; Wanxi and Wanda's family have girls of the right age, but their seniority is wrong. Concubine Wanhuang gave birth late, and she is almost ten years behind her cousin. The girls of the right age are all princes. His Highness's younger generation.
It is impossible to stay in the East Palace.
Besides, the Wan family has already produced a Wan Huang imperial concubine and a prince, and in the future there will be a proper queen mother and emperor.
What else do you want?
If you marry the royal family again, you will be suspected of becoming bigger.
Wan An is now putting all his eggs in one basket, trying his best to turn the world upside down.
This is his last chance.
In March, the examination is about to begin, and the apricot orchard in Moling Mountain Villa has also welcomed many talents. Talk together and exchange knowledge.
At the same time, Wu Youwei was also giving psychological counseling to Wu Mingde: "The exam, it's not like you haven't passed the exam, and the general exam is similar to usual, it's just that there are a little more students accompanying the exam."
"Father, Mingde knows about it." Wu Mingde said: "It's just that Mingde has no words so far, so I beg father to give me words."
"Let's call it Taining." Wu Youwei said, "Kangtai, Anning."
This is his wish for his son. The old Wu family does not need high-ranking officials and generous salary, and does not need to be famous in history. As long as everyone is well, that is his wish.
"Kangtai, An Ning... yes, thank you father for giving me the words. Wu Mingde made a big gift.
A few days later, the test will begin.
Wu Youwei sent his son to the gate, handed Kaolan to him, and watched him enter the dragon gate.
Wantong took him to a nearby teahouse, and the two of them were still outside the door to accompany the exam. In the private room of the teahouse, refreshments had already been prepared.
"Actually, he is inside, and you are outside. You can't help at all. You have to accompany the exam." Wantong didn't understand.
"You don't understand. When you enter the examination room and know that someone is waiting for you outside, you will have confidence in your heart." Wu Youwei said: "When I took the exam, my parents came to accompany the exam. At that time, there were less than 1 candidates. People who accompany the exam forty to fifty thousand are all parents."
Sure enough, Wantong couldn't understand this kind of "accompanying the exam plot", but he was willing to accompany this person and drink tea here.
"Okay, I don't understand." Wantong poured him a bowl of milk tea: "I'm going to stay here for a day, don't drink tea, I won't be able to sleep at night, drink some milk tea, which contains sweeteners from Taiwan. Pearl, listen to Li Ji's people, the idea you gave."
Pearl milk tea, a specialty of Taiwan.
Especially the pearls inside, the raw material needed is tapioca flour, which is only produced in Taiwan.
Even people outside the customs like to eat this kind of cassava flour balls, which are especially popular in milk tea.
"Yeah." Wu Youwei looked at the pearl and said with a smile: "At that time, this kind of pearl balls were everywhere and became popular all over the country."
"You can figure this out. I heard that many people in Taiwan have made a lot of money." Wan Tao said, "Li Ji is also a capable official."
It was a small act of kindness back then, but it made a great member of the party.
Every year, Li Ji sends people to Mo Ling Villa to give gifts, which are all Taiwanese specialties, various dried fruits, and fresh things.
Taiwan is like spring all year round, and it is rich in all kinds of fruits. Many canned fruits are sent from Taiwan, and there are even canned pineapples!
Li Ji's success in Taiwan has turned Taiwan into an overseas foothold, the first supply station of the Ming Navy on the sea.
There are [-] naval troops stationed on Taiwan Island all year round.
After the re-registration of the household registration of the current people, there are already [-] households. In Daming, it can be regarded as a high-level state capital.
Desserts are flower cakes from Yunnan, goat milk crisps from the grasslands, golden jujube cakes from Shandong, and Aiwowo from the capital.
It is rare that both of them have free time to chat and chat.
They can chat for a long time on any topic.
For three days in a row, both of them came here to accompany the exam, and after three days, Wu Mingde was picked up.
The child was in good spirits, and Wu Youwei took him home, and immediately a doctor was prepared to check his pulse, and the final result was that he was a little tired, just rest and rest.Only then did everyone feel relieved, gave him a quick bath, drank a bowl of chicken soup, dried his hair, put him on the kang and fell asleep immediately.
"This child has also suffered." Wu Youwei saw Wang Qianqian sitting on the edge of the kang looking at his son, and whispered: "You can watch him, I'm going out."
"Okay, thank you, sir." Wang Qianqian wiped away her tears. Although she knew that the imperial examination was hard, she also felt uncomfortable seeing her son so tired.
"You're welcome." Wu Youwei went out, leaving room for the two of them.
At this time, if Wang Qianqian is not allowed to guard Taining, she will not feel at ease.
At the time of the announcement of the test, the Wu family had a hard day.
That day, Wu Youwei and the others had been waiting at home, looking at the gate frequently. The address registered by Wu Mingde was Wu Youwei's house in Jinshi Lane in Beijing.
The gate of the courtyard was wide open, and everyone lost their minds about drinking tea and snacks. Wu Youwei ate three pieces of golden jujube cake in a row, and Wantong quickly poured him a cup of black tea: "Drink some water?" Keep eating like this , Why don't you keep your mouth shut?
Wu Youwei took it and drank it in one gulp, so heroic that even Wantong was stunned!
Even Wu Xiao gave his daughter three pieces of Changbai Cake to eat. Usually, he was afraid that the child would eat too much sweet things, so he never gave the second piece, so he couldn't care less now.It was Wantong's daughter-in-law who saw it, took the child to her, brushed her teeth with green salt, and rinsed her mouth.
The whole family looked outside anxiously, their ears pricked up one by one.
It was already afternoon, and no happy news came.
"It's okay, I can't pass the exam, just take the exam next time." It was already afternoon, and no one came, the family couldn't sit still, so they comforted themselves.
"Not necessarily." Wu Xiaodao: "The later you sign up for the exam, the higher your ranking. Maybe our Mingde can get a good grade in the exam?"
There is no doubt about Wu Mingde's intelligence.
When he was a scholar, he was completely a junior.
When taking the Juren examination, he was Xie Yuan back then.
If Huishi is Huiyuan again, then Gongshi will definitely be the champion.
Because of the "Six Heads of State"!
Not to mention a hundred years, since the imperial examination was established, there have only been two six heads of state in a thousand years.
As long as he becomes Huiyuan, the emperor will definitely give Wu Deming a champion for this auspicious omen.
Sure enough, it was not until evening that the people who announced the good news came. There were so many people who announced the good news!
"Congratulations to Mr. Wu, you won the Huiyuan!" When Wu Youwei heard more than a dozen official missions who came to announce the good news, was it still Huiyuan?Immediately overjoyed!
"Reward, great reward!" Wu Youwei was delighted from ear to ear.
Butler Wanfu has already prepared two kinds of rewards, one is a purse of ten taels of silver per person for winning; if it is Huiyuan, it is one hundred taels of silver per person!
This is a happy event.
As soon as I heard that it was Huiyuan, I immediately took the biggest red envelope.
Officials came to announce the good news in order to get the reward money. Now that the purse is 100 taels, all the teeth are bared.
"Thank you, Master, for the reward!" They said in unison, "Thank you, Master Huiyuan, for the reward!"
The scholar's residence was a sensation, and the whole family blushed with joy.
Wang Qianqian hugged her son and burst into tears.
She didn't even dare to think that her son would be Huiyuan!
Everyone cheered, even Wantong went to announce the good news to his brother Wanxi.
I don't know what kind of happiness he reported.
But Wanxi still sent a congratulatory gift.
Huiyuan, Wu Mingde himself is a bit like a dream, he is smart, but no one knows, Wu Youwei gave them pre-exam training, and even pressed the questions.
Except for the people in Tao Wen Academy, no one knows that the imperial examination can still be bet on...
However, the palace examination will be held in three days. The Wu family did not celebrate, but their own family had a good meal.
Geng Yin, palace examination.
Because his own son was present, Wu Youwei avoided suspicion and did not go; Wantong had an errand and went out early in the morning and came back before lunch. He looked helplessly at the gate.
In the afternoon, the official who announced the good news came:
After the palace examination, Wu Mingde and other Jinshi were granted the rank of Jinshi, and their backgrounds were poor.
No. [-]!
Wu Mingde is indeed the champion of the "Six Heads of State"!
In addition, Wu Mingde is not yet married, okay, as soon as the family official left, someone came to the door to talk about a matchmaker.
He was temporarily rejected by Wu Youwei, and ran out with Wan Tong: "Let's go, let's go to Parade!"
The top three parades in the streets are more lively than ever, because this is the "Six Heads of State"!
Rare to see in a thousand years.
Girls and daughter-in-laws on the street threw handkerchiefs, flowers, pouches, and sachets at them vigorously.
Some girls even threw things on Wu Mingde's head such as silver hairpins, golden head flowers, and pearl heads.
Wu Mingde is tall, handsome, and the champion of the six heads of state. He is young, handsome, and knowledgeable. Most importantly, he is not engaged!
Wu Youwei saw Wu Mingde riding a horse, dodging all kinds of flying things in a panic, and he patted the window lattice and laughed.
Wantong said helplessly: "Is there such a father as you?"
"That guy has been a master who doesn't suffer from childhood. It's the first time someone throws something like this!" He still remembers a letter from his family when he was in Shanghai, saying that when he climbed a tree to dig out a bird's nest with someone, when he fell, It doesn't hurt that others are at the bottom and he is at the top.
Later, when he grew up, he also looked smart and smart, and he didn't suffer from outside, but he was very popular, and he was the boss of their group of naughty boys.
Now that he has grown up, has gone to school, and has achieved fame, he is still the leader of those boys.
After straddling the horses and parading through the streets, they returned home, and there was a Qionglin banquet to attend the next day.
Wu Youwei looked at his son standing in front of him, dressed in a champion uniform, and narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Okay!"
He stretched out his hand and touched it: "It's much prettier than when I was back then."
Because it is the sixth prize, Wu Mingde's champion uniform is different from the previous ones.
The number one scholar's clothing in the Ming Dynasty is "the number one scholar's crown clothing, Chaoguan, Erliang. Chaofu, Feiluo."
In the past dynasties, only the number one scholar's clothing after the Ming Dynasty had the patch pattern, and it is generally customary to use the pattern on the chest and back according to the grade.
Civil officials embroidered birds to show civilization; military officials embroidered animals to show might.
That is, the court crown is Erliang; the court dress is scarlet color, with a round collar, a white silk middle sheet, and a brocade ribbon covering the knees.
A handful of Huaihu.
A gauze hat.
A plain silver belt.
A pair of medicine jade pendants.
A pair of felt socks for facing boots.
But Wu Mingde's belt is golden, with dragon patterns on it.
The crown on the head is three beams, not two beams.
It can be said that this is the biggest difference to Wu Mingde, the "six heads of state".
The second beam is an official of the sixth to eighth rank; the third beam is the fifth rank.
"Father was also a Tanhua back then." Wu Mingde said with a smile: "The number one scholar is only for doing well in the exam, but Tanhua not only has to do well in the exam, but also has to look good."
Their Tanhua this year is a very handsome boy, but because of Wu Mingde's Sixth Head of State, he is not as popular as the previous Tanhua.
Almost all of them were snatched away by Wu Mingde, the head of state.
After Wu Mingde went to the Qionglin banquet, Wang Qianqian approached Wu Youwei: "Master."
"Are you here? Sit down." Wu Youwei was a little surprised when he saw her, because he knew that Wang Qianqian would not come to him if he was fine: "What's the matter?"
"Young Master... have you finished the exam?" Wang Qianqian asked hesitantly, "Then should you consider his marriage?"
The child is 20 years old.
"During the family visit leave, he will be an adult when he performs the crown ceremony." Wu Youwei said: "Find him a suitable wife, and you can wait to have a grandson in the future."
A smile appeared on Wang Qianqian's face: "Yes!"
Over the years, although Wang Qianqian has not aged, her eyes are flat and there is no wave in the ancient well.
It doesn't matter how young you are, your heart is already old and dead, and what she is living now is her son.
Newly-promoted tributes have a three-month family leave. Wu Mingde lives in the capital. This family leave is to receive congratulations from some of the same year at home.
Wu Youwei took Wu Mingde back to Moring Villa to worship his ancestors, invited Wantong and Wanxi and other close people, and crowned him to show that he had grown up.
The Xinglin and Moling Lake at the foot of the mountain are also temporarily open for him to receive guests.
The students all know that the apricot forest in Wu Dashi's family is full of apricot blossoms at this time of year, which is very enviable, especially during the exam, it will always make many students linger.There is also an omen here, that is "hanging high on the apricot list", because of this, there are many small wooden signs with names on most of the apricot trees, which represent the meaning of "Xingbang High School".
Now that the rankings are released, no matter who wins or not, they still want to come to Xinglin to have fun.
Wu Mingde has a lot of friends, and he invited them all, regardless of whether he won or not, and they had a good time.
At the same time, Wu Youwei also asked Wantong for one thing: "Help me check the details of those ladies in Beijing, see if there are any with good morals, and find a wife for Taining."
"Ask him if he's in love with you?" Wan Tao said, "He has to like it, right?"
"Huh?" Wu Youwei looked at Wantong: "Why do you say that?"
"Ask him." Wantong mysteriously pointed to Wu Mingde who was playing chess with three or five friends in the apricot tree in the distance: "I will definitely know the answer." Wu Youwei was curious!
That night, he grabbed his son and forced him to ask, "Say, whose daughter have you taken a fancy to?"
"No!" Wu Mingde said with a guilty conscience, "No."
"I want to see a wife for you. If you are stubborn, I'll be free?" Wu Youwei threatened him and said, "When the time comes, don't find someone you don't like and become a resentful spouse."
"I...I...." Wu Mingde blushed: "I have someone I like!"
"Then why didn't you say it earlier?" Wu Youwei frowned: "Whose girl?"
In this day and age, the great defense of ethics and ethics is no joke. Whose family raises a rich lady in a deep boudoir, can she just meet outside men?
Even a village girl would not dare to talk to a strange young man easily, because she would be chewed out and said not to be dignified.
And judging by his son's appearance, it was obvious that he had talked to him, even many times, and he would blush when he mentioned his sweetheart!
"She doesn't belong to anyone else." Wu Mingde didn't know what to think of, his face turned from red to pale.
"What are you doing?" Wu Youwei frowned: "Could it be... from the brothel Chuguan?"
Thinking about it this way, let alone Wu Mingde's face turned pale, Wu Youwei's face also turned pale.
"No!" Wu Mingde quickly denied: "She's not from that place of fireworks, besides, I don't go to that kind of place either."
Don't talk about drinking flower wine, even if you pass by, you will go far.
"Then she...is a widow? W Wu Youwei lowered the standard suspiciously: "Heli's...?Or... Abandoned Wife? "
"No!" Wu Mingde shook his head with black lines on his face. Before he could explain clearly, his father said again: "Could it be a married man?"
"Father, it should be a married woman. Did you read it the wrong way?" Wu Mingde's face turned dark.
"Oh, yes." Wu Youwei nodded, and then suddenly realized: "What did you say? Are you really a married woman?"
Wu Mingde was about to say something, but was quickly interrupted by Wu Youwei, not giving him a chance to open his mouth: "Tell me about you, have you learned so many years of ideological and moral education for nothing? How can you look at a married woman?" What about it? Do you lack maternal love? The husband and wife are living a good life, what are you doing?"
Wu Mingde hurriedly shouted: "No, she Yunying is not married!"
My God, it's terrible for my father to think like this. How could he look at a married woman?
Return maternal love?
His mother is very good, he does not lack maternal love.
"Oh?" Wu Youwei took a sip of tea, he talked too much just now, his voice was too loud, and his throat was a bit dry.
Wu Mingde wiped his sweat: "You too, why don't you listen to me?"
"Aren't I scared?" Wu Youwei curled his lips: "Tell me, who do you like?"
