Qi Yu left the palace with excitement and joy.
Following him was Yin Jun, who was equally proud of himself.
Among the two, one picked Tanhua and the other got Chuanlu. In terms of fame in the imperial examination, they were already at the top level.
Who wouldn't envy it?
The few old men who came out of the hall together and were born in the same Jinshi family were originally in a good mood. However, when they saw the black hair of these two people, their teeth became inexplicably sour.
You have to endure the acidity.
Since we are future colleagues, we must build good relationships with them.
Therefore, all the old men put down their airs and took the initiative to talk to Qi and Yin.
Um?
They are actually from the same hometown?
Is that remote Yongchuan Mansion really so full of outstanding people?
That should be the case. Isn't there a saying that says, if the soil and water support the people, then talents will come out in large numbers!
Looking at it this way, is my "late blooming" a result of poor soil and water conditions?
It should be!
Facts speak louder than words!
The feeling of sore teeth eased a little when I thought that I was affected by the soil and water, rather than a lack of ability.
…
After the people dispersed, the Jinshi went back to their homes.
At this time, Yin Jun stepped forward, stopped Qi Yu and said: "Village man, don't go home yet, there are still things to do!"
"What's up?"
Yin Jun looked around and then explained: "Just now, the internal supervisor named San De reminded me. He said that it is best to go to the household room to collect the Jinshi uniform as soon as possible. If you go late, you will probably grab it. Not one that fits.”
Qi Yu asked curiously: "Why do you want to rob it? Could it be... that the Ministry of Revenue is not prepared enough?"
Yin Jun explained: "Those Xinke Jinshi uniforms were prepared a month ago, and they are definitely not tailor-made according to our body shape. Therefore, 70% to 80% of people will not fit them properly. Let's go early." You can still pick and choose, but if you go there late, you’ll have to pick up the leftovers.”
That's it!
Although the Jinshi uniform is not an official uniform, it still has important commemorative significance. Wouldn't it be a pity if you can't wear one that fits you?
Also, you will have to participate in many ceremonial activities later on. If you can’t wear formal attire that fits you, wouldn’t it be a disgrace to your grace?
Heart of beauty in everyone.
Qi Yu is like this, and Yin Jun is even more like this.
Early bird gets the worm.
Therefore, we must quickly go to the Ministry of Finance.
When the Hubu envoy saw that Tanhua and Chuanlu had arrived, he quickly put on a kind face. In order to show that he valued it, he specially found a small rope and measured their measurements with his own hands before going Tweezing matching shirts.
It went very smoothly, and both of them received Jinshi uniforms that fit very well.
Does it look good?
not bad!
You see: a black gauze-like hat with soap gauze hanging straps on both sides and green leaf velvet flower hairpins. He wears a dark blue robe with wide cuffs. He wears a bronze medal around his waist with the word "Enrong" engraved on it. He wears leather shoes with green shoes under his feet, and holds a locust tree wat in his hand.
Judging from the shape, although it is not an official uniform, it does look somewhat similar to an official uniform.
Especially, when I take this locust tree wat in my hand, wow, it feels really high-end.
After leaving the capital hall of Tobe, the two of them separated.
Yin Jun just took a few steps, then suddenly turned around and said: "Well, see you tomorrow!"
Qi Yu was stunned: "Tomorrow?"
Oh, yes!
There is still something to do tomorrow!
Moreover, there are quite a few!
Let’s hear the details.
After the announcement of the new Jinshi Jinshi list, the imperial court will, in accordance with traditional etiquette, order the Ministry of Rites, Guanglu Temple and Taipu Temple to coordinate with each other to hold an admission ceremony.
Namely: the parade in the golden palace, the parade on horseback, and the feast of grace and honor.
Let's talk about the Golden Palace Ceremony first. There are no strict rules for this etiquette. It can be held together with the imperial conferment of merit or honors, or it can be held separately.
However, the emperor left in a hurry without even ordering the Imperial Academy. Naturally, the Jindian Chuanlu had to be handled separately.
In a sense, the Jindian Chuanlu is of the nature of "listening to the court". At that time, all the princes and ministers will line up on both sides and stand in the same court.
For those who were born with the same background as Jinshi, this time the Golden Palace is likely to be their only chance to listen to the imperial court in this life, so they cherish it very much.
why?
Because, in the near future, they will go somewhere to waste their time. If there is no special opportunity, they will never be able to enter the palace to meet the saint again in this life.
After that, there is a parade on horseback. Ahem, don’t get carried away. The parade here does not allow you to throw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves. It is a publicity parade. Its purpose is to set an example to inspire the world's scholars to work hard and make progress.
After ten years of hard work, no one asked, but the name on the gold medal list is known to the world.
This kind of opportunity to be worshiped is the only one on the way to the imperial examination, so all Jinshi cherish it very much.
As for the Feast of Grace, it is easier to understand. In layman's terms, it means that the emperor invites everyone to have a state banquet and drink some wine to show that he is a friendly person and a courteous corporal. From a process point of view, It is somewhat similar to the Luming Banquet after the rural examination, but the specifications are greatly improved.
These three etiquettes are the special treatment for new scholars and are extremely precious.
Of course you can’t ask for leave!
Qi Yu looked up at the sky and found that it was still early.
There is nothing to do when I go home anyway, so I might as well take this time to visit an old friend.
First, we went to Meng Jiming’s mansion.
what to do?
Thank you!
From my own point of view, I can be regarded as Mr. Wenzhu's registered disciple. Now that I have received the honor, how can I not thank my teacher? In terms of performance, winning the third prize does not disgrace my husband's reputation.
Never forget your mentor, this is a posture you need to take.
Sir, are you not in the capital now?
It doesn't matter, but the son can entertain on his father's behalf.
This time, Meng Jiming specially opened the front door and went out to greet him. He also said various auspicious words, such as a prosperous future and so on.
After greetings, the two of them served tea in the main hall.
After a while, Qi Yu began to talk about the strange thing about the emperor leaving in a hurry without ordering the ceremony.
Strange indeed.
However, Meng Jiming couldn't explain why, so he could only sigh: The holy will is unpredictable!
After that, they talked about the three major rituals that will be held tomorrow.
Meng Jiming was a person who had been here before, so he gave some words of advice and repeatedly emphasized that he should not be greedy for drinks during the dinner. If he drank too much and lost his etiquette in front of the emperor, he would cause big trouble.
Qi Yu nodded repeatedly, indicating that he had taken note of it.
After leaving Meng's mansion, Qi Yu went to Luo Yuan's mansion.
Unfortunately, the concierge said that Mr. Luo was not here today and had gone on an outing with his old friends.
Outing?
What's the meaning?
Just now, he clearly saw Luo Yuan walking into the house with his own eyes, how could he say he was not at home?
Could it be that he didn't see him on purpose?
Whatever!
Stop thinking about it!
Qi Yu put down the gift and then left awkwardly.
