Chapter 450 Qionglin Banquet
Of course Song Yun understood this.
After all, he has lived two lives, but the eldest princess doesn't know it.
Since the eldest princess has given such careful advice.
Of course Song Yun listened obediently.
It is said that a loud drum does not need to be struck hard. Seeing that he understood, the princess did not say anything more.
After listening to what the princess said, he said goodbye to her and left.
Because only the top ten will have the opportunity to attend the Qionglin Banquet.
So of course Qiu Ziyang can also participate.
When he entered the palace in the morning, Song Yun asked Qiu Ziyang to wait for him to pick him up.
Because he had a carriage and Qiu Ziyang didn't, which was inconvenient.
Although it's a bit of a detour.
Song Yun didn't care much either.
It’s early anyway.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the slum where Qiu Ziyang and his friends lived.
Han Ji and Han Shuang'er looked at Qiu Ziyang who was already waiting in the yard at the door dressed neatly.
As soon as Song Yun arrived, he would go out immediately.
Qiu Ziyang saw Yan Yi.
Then he walked out.
Han Ji watched all this. The three of them had been classmates for so many years, but for this imperial examination, he and they would be divided into two groups.
Han Shuang'er looked at Qiu Ziyang's back as he left: "Brother, you said that Brother Qiu has made so much progress. Is there something they didn't tell you? This is too much."
In fact, Han Ji thought so too.
But it’s not easy to say that.
How did the three of them end up like this?
It must be that Shen Xia doesn’t like his sister, so Xingjun doesn’t hang out with him much.
In fact, among the three of them, he was the only one with the best conditions.
But after this time, it is a completely different watershed, and it is clear who will be better in the future.
I suddenly felt that it was unfair.
He went back to his room angrily.
After Qiu Ziyang went out, he got on the carriage.
Seeing Song Yun: "Xingjun, thank you very much."
Song Yun looked at Qiu Ziyang's clothes, which were not too bad, and said, "It's still early, and you're almost there too."
In fact, among the three people back then, only the Song family had the worst conditions.
Qiu Ziyang is in the middle.
The family has a small business.
But it was just enough for him to study, not much more.
Fortunately, I passed the imperial examination and my conditions improved a little.
After all, the juren was considered a master, and the local gentry would send him some gifts.
Now that he has become a Jinshi, once the news spreads back to Wuyang County, not only the gentry but even the county magistrate will send him gifts.
So when you become more and more successful in your studies, you will no longer be short of money.
It's just hard work in the early stages.
Song Yun looked at Qiu Ziyang: "Will you come here in the future?"
Qiu Ziyang nodded: "Well, live here first, and see if my parents come over. If they do, I'll buy a small yard in West City."
Song Yun nodded: "Well, when you pass the imperial examination, the local gentry will send you some gifts. It's okay to buy a small courtyard. The courtyard near where I lived before is good."
Qiu Ziyang nodded: "Sure, your yard is quite big, it's not bad to buy a smaller one, anyway, there are not many people in my family."
"Ah."
The two of them arrived at the palace gate quietly.
Then get off.
The two took out their ID tags, checked them, and went in together.
But after entering, Song Yun did not go in directly, but waited at the door.
Although he was very familiar with the palace and knew where the Qionglin Banquet was, he could not let others think that he was familiar with it.
He looked at Song Yi for a while.
Qiu Ziyang certainly knew that Song Yi was Song Yun's cousin.
But Song Yi came with others, so he didn't come over to say hello.
The person next to him is Lord Cao, An Minying's husband. To Song Yi, Song Yun is better than him in every way. Since he is with Lord Cao at this time, he definitely cannot go over to say hello.
What if Lord Cao is more interested in Song Yun? Then wouldn't I have no chance?
Even if you choose to climb a higher branch, you must weigh the pros and cons first.
Qiu Ziyang looked at Song Yi and said, "Xing Jun, Song Yi is gone."
Song Yun glanced at him and said, "It's okay, he can go."
Qiu Ziyang nodded: "Okay! If you are not anxious, why should I be anxious?"
Although Qiu Ziyang studies hard, hard work is nothing compared to talent.
Especially in front of Song Yun.
He finally saw it clearly.
Although he is older than Song Yun, he is far inferior to Song Yun in terms of intelligence.
He didn't do it according to his own ideas. Song Yun was smart and straightforward, but he didn't talk much.
Just follow Song Yun's footsteps from now on, and you will definitely not suffer any loss.
He said just wait.
After a while, I saw an acquaintance.
Zheng County Magistrate.
Zheng Jinshu came over: "Sorry to have kept you waiting."
Song Yun shook his head: "No, it's only been a while."
Qiu Ziyang looked at County Magistrate Zheng in surprise: "County Magistrate Zheng, why is it you?"
Song Yun reminded him, "It's not the County Magistrate Zheng anymore. It's Mr. Zheng who is now the Minister of the Dali Temple."
Qiu Ziyang quickly apologized: "Master Zheng, I have offended you!"
Zheng Jinshu smiled and said, "No, we will all be colleagues from now on."
Qiu Ziyang didn't expect this!
When did Xingjun become so close to Lord Zheng?
And what is the background of this Lord Zheng?
He was just a county magistrate before.
It's been less than two years and he's already the Chief Justice of Dali Temple. How come he was promoted so quickly? Is there something that I don't know?
"Don't you want to wait for your second brother?" Zheng Jinshu saw Song Yun was about to drive away.
"Second brother, don't you like this kind of banquet?" Song Yun remembered that he had asked his second brother that he would go home as soon as he was fired, and he would not go if he didn't go back.
Zheng Jinshu thought about it and realized that, indeed, given Song Ming's personality, he would not go.
The three of them went in together.
Most palace banquets were filled with singing and dancing.
Look at the time is almost up.
This seat is not for random sitting.
It’s all based on identity.
It’s just because it’s the topic of candidates, so the top ten people can sit in the front seats this time.
After you become an official, you won’t be able to sit in the front seat.
Of course the top three are at the front.
So Song Yun and Qiu Ziyang broke up.
Finally, in the hall, a eunuch shouted: "The Emperor has arrived, and the Empress, the Imperial Concubine Rong, the Imperial Concubine Yi, and the Imperial Concubine Xian have arrived."
When everyone heard this, they stood up and saluted.
After the emperor and the concubines sat down, he said to the officials, "My dear ministers, please stand up."
After everyone sat down together.
Concubine Yi couldn't stand her daughter's pestering in the afternoon.
It is said that the new top scholar is so dignified.
Let's ask her about it in the evening.
And I heard it was a big three!
During your Majesty's reign, there has never been a student who has won the top three honors in the imperial examinations. It seems that this student is indeed quite knowledgeable.
So when Concubine Yi got up, she looked at Song Yun.
Because Song Yun's position was very conspicuous, one could tell at a glance that it was the top position.
Not only Concubine Yi was watching, but all the other officials were watching as well.
Because who doesn’t have a daughter of the right age?
At first glance at these ten students, Song Yun was the most calm and composed.
Although the others are not too bad, their knowledge and appearance are comparable, especially their appearance.
There is a huge difference.
Many people are thinking that if they can recruit Song Yun as their son-in-law, their future will be limitless!
