This day is the day of the new Koshizi parade. The whole capital is really empty. Everyone comes to the parade route as early as possible and waits patiently.

The imperial examination, which is held only once every three years, is definitely the most grand event in this era. From the king to the common people, it attaches great importance to it.

For ordinary people, what they are most looking forward to is the time when the new No. 1 scholar takes the new scholars on a parade. Only at this time can everyone have the opportunity to witness the elegance of the new No. 1 scholar. To the common people, the No. 1 scholar is a literary star.

, is a god descending to earth, so everyone’s expectations for the new top pick are very high, which is why the top pick must have a good skin.

If you have crooked melons and cracked dates, you will not only lose your own face, but also lose the face of the court, and it will disappoint the people.

Therefore, every time the No. 1 candidate should not only be good-looking, but should at least have a decent appearance so that he would not be unable to meet people.

"Dong~dong~"

Flags and drums opened the way, cheers thundered, and cannons shook the sky. The streets the parade passed were decorated with lights and colorful decorations, making it very lively.

Both sides of the road were filled with people watching the excitement, and the buildings on both sides were also crowded with people watching the excitement. The crowds were all craning their necks to look at the source of the sound, wanting to see what happened to the top scholar Imaka.

What does it look like.

In an attic, a group of ladies such as Xu Waner, Li Zhen, Zhang Ying, etc. had reserved the attic. While chatting, they also quietly waited for the arrival of the No. 1 Scholar Parade.

"Sister, I didn't expect that Liu Jin would really get the first prize in the exam. It's just a pity. If he could have taken the first place in the exam, he would have won three prizes in a row."

Zhang Ying was quirky and said to Xu Waner with a smile on her face.

"It's so difficult to win three yuan in a row. Since ancient times, there have been only a handful of them."

When Xu Waner heard Zhang Ying's words, her face turned red because she heard something in Zhang Ying's words.

"That Tang Yin is really arrogant. He promised to win three points in a row before the exam started. Now he only got a second-class or thirteenth grade. Compared with Liu Jin, the number one scholar, he is far behind."

"I remember my sister said that people who are not the number one scholar will not marry. This Liu Jin is now the number one scholar. It seems that he is not married yet. He seems to be only twenty years old. He is also handsome and extraordinary. He and my sister are really made for each other.

A pair."

Zhang Ying looked at Xu Waner's slightly blushing face and immediately connected Liu Jin and Xu Waner with a smile. Of course she didn't know that Xu Waner and Liu Jin had already gotten along well.

"You are the only one who talks a lot~"

Xu Waner's face suddenly turned red. Although she and Liu Jin had already made a vow of eternal love, she was still very shy when Zhang Ying said this.

"Haha, it seems I was right."

"Sister, when you meet someone you like, you should seize the opportunity to do it. Look at the attic outside. I don't know how many ladies are watching. When this Liu Jin appears, I don't know who will take the initiative to stick to him.

How many are there?"

Zhang Ying really wanted to make fun of Xu Waner. When she saw that her face was red with embarrassment, she immediately laughed happily. Then she rolled her eyes, looked outside, pointed at the ladies gathered in the attic, and said.

"Yes, sister, you don't know that the whole capital is discussing Liu Jin now. Many of my sisters are asking people to find out what Liu Jin looks like. Some people even sell Liu Jin's portrait.

"

"Yes, yes, many of my sisters are talking about this too."

"You are young, talented, and even rarer is handsome. The most rare thing is that you are not married. The top picks in the past were either bad old men, or they already had wives and concubines, or they were ugly."

"Liu Jin is probably going to become the dream lover of countless people when he walks around the streets."

"Hey~ If my sister hadn't fallen in love with this Liu Jin, I would have been so moved that I would have been willing to be a little girl."

Seeing Zhang Ying teasing Xu Waner, the others also laughed and said.

"You still say~"

Xu Waner's face was red, and she was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a crack in the ground and crawl in. As for Li Zhen on the side, her face was also red at this time, and she was looking at the bustling street outside in a daze.

"Sister Zhen, why are you blushing?"

"Why are you still in a daze? Have you also fallen in love with this Liu Jin?"

The quirky Zhang Ying quickly noticed Li Zhen, waved her hand in front of her eyes and said with a smile.

"You just know?"

Li Zhen nodded generously and said.

"That's too bad. Sister Wan'er also has a crush on Liu Jin. Now, Sister Zhen, you also have a crush on Liu Jin. What should we do?"

Zhang Ying looked at Xu Waner, then at Li Zhen, and immediately said in a difficult tone.

"This is not easy to handle, let's marry him together~"

"Wouldn't it be easier to kill Liu Jin?"

"Didn't someone just say that they also like this Liu Jin? Why don't we marry them together? They are all sisters anyway, and the wealth will not go to outsiders."

"Good idea, good idea~giggle~"

The girls were talking to each other, chatting non-stop. Gossip is human nature and has been like this since ancient times. Women love gossip and chat the most. They are equally energetic when talking about this aspect.

.

Xu Waner and Li Zhen looked at each other slightly with their faces full of conversation. In fact, the two of them had already discussed it. Now that Liu Jin has also won the first prize, they are waiting for Liu Jin to invite someone to his home to propose marriage.

"Dong~dong~"

At this time, with the sound of gongs and drums and the crackling of firecrackers, the bustling streets below became even more noisy.

"Coming~coming~"

Everyone quickly came to the windows and looked into the distance.

I saw Liu Jin wearing a gold-flowered black gauze hat and a scarlet python robe, riding a horse with a golden saddle and red temples, cheering in front and behind, paving the way with flags and drums, thunderous cheers, and the scholars of Jinke slowly marching with joyful cannons in the sky.

Come this way.

With the arrival of Liu Jin and other modern scholars, the whole scene became even more lively. In the streets and alleys, countless people crowded on both sides of the street, shaking their heads and scrambling to watch the parade of scholars.

.

Liu Jin was already very handsome, but now he was dressed in the No. 1 Scholar's Palace, riding a tall horse, and smiling all over his face, which immediately aroused a buzz of friendship.

"A descendant of a master, he is indeed well-deserved, talented, and extraordinary in appearance~"

Someone gave Liu Jin a thumbs up. Liu Jin's image perfectly interprets the number one scholar in everyone's mind, with talent and good looks.

"I have just turned 16 this year. I have seen more than ten No. 1 picks since I was a child. This No. 1 pick is the youngest and most handsome I have ever seen."

An old man with white hair pinched his sparse beard and said.

"You're so handsome, what a top scholar~"

A woman looked at Liu Jin, her eyes were shining, and she couldn't move her eyes away.

"He is Liu Jin, the top scholar in Jinke, he is so handsome~"

"I heard that he is not married yet, and I don't know if he has someone he likes."

"I don't know who can marry him~"

There was a lady in the attic who immediately became Liu Jin's fan when she saw Liu Jin. Her mind was filled with Liu Jin's figure, and she wished she could find an opportunity to express her feelings in person.

"Sister~Sister~ is here, here."

Zhang Ying leaned against the window and said excitedly as she watched Liu Jin coming slowly.

Hearing Zhang Ying's words, everyone quickly gathered at the window and looked at the tall Liu Jin above, and they immediately became infatuated.

"So handsome~"

"He's still the number one scholar~"

"It would be great if I could marry him~"

Everyone crowded around the window and looked at Liu Jin. Everyone looked at him blankly, especially Xu Waner and Li Zhen. Their eyes were full of Liu Jin. They were full of joy and couldn't help but think about it in their minds.

stand up.

Liu Jin rode a tall horse and always kept a smile. However, when he got to the back, his smile became a little tired, but in order to maintain his image, he naturally had to keep a smile all the time.

"The spring breeze brings joy to the horse's hoofs, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day~"

"The taste is quite good."

"This can be regarded as the most proud moment for ancient literati."

While walking around the streets, Liu Jin was also wandering around in the world.

"Liu Jin~Liu Jin~"

At this moment, a shout came from above, which sounded a bit familiar. When he looked up, it was Zhang Ying calling him and waving to him. As for Xu Waner and Li Zhen next to him, their faces were flushed and they were smiling.

looking at himself.

Liu Jin immediately laughed happily and saluted Xu Waner, Li Zhen and others who were upstairs. This made Xu Waner and Li Zhen blush even more, as if they had thought of something.

…

The noisy capital slowly returned to its former peace as the imperial examinations came to an end.

Li Mansion, the residence of Li Hui and Li Shilang. On this day, the British Duke Zhang Mao came to Li Mansion with a huge team, which caused a lot of excitement in the whole Li Mansion.

In the living room, Li Shilang and Zhang Mao were seated separately as host and guest, and fine fragrant tea was served. Also accompanying them was Li Shilang's son Li Liang, who was Li Zhen's father.
