Chapter 710 Unboxing Review
Chapter 710 Unboxing Review
"Here they come, look up quickly, the Meridian Gate is moving, the Meridian Gate is moving, the top scholar in civil and military studies is about to be announced! This year's top scholar in civil and military studies has come out!"
"Everyone, go and see it, go and see it!"
The shouts of a few sharp-eyed people seemed to be the clarion call for a charge, and the people of the entire capital surrounded the Jishuitan and rushed towards the imperial city in a vigorous manner.
The earth trembled and the water rippled.
The fish in the pond were frightened and retreated, wagging their tails.
The riverbed was filled with debris, and a fat catfish digging for treasures spat out the mud. It floated to the surface with a head full of black mud, shook its head twice, and a faint black mist dissipated.
One by one the otter climbed up the mast and leaned over the railing.
The windows of restaurants, brothels and famous buildings are all open.
After nearly a month, the imperial examinations and military examinations have come to an end, and today is the day for the “parade”!
After the Holy Emperor announced the names of the candidates in the Tianchen Hall and personally selected the top scholar in civil and military examinations and the ranking of the other candidates, the top scholar led the other candidates in thanking the emperor for his grace. They were then ordered to parade through the streets, riding horses in a procession, passing through the streets and the edge of the Jishuitan Lake in bright light, for the common people to watch and the dignitaries to comment on it. It was a grand sight that could only be seen once every three years.
People were crowded together, and the hot air from millions of mouths dispelled the chilly spring weather.
"Whose child is the top scorer this year?"
"I heard that his surname is Lin, the same as in the forest."
"Nonsense, the last name is clearly Ling, the Ling of the token!"
"That's totally wrong. The last name is Ling, the Ling of Ling Jueding!"
"Ah, they are all wrong, they are all wrong. The number one scholar's surname is Shu Lin, and the number one martial arts scholar's surname is Jueding Ling. The number one martial arts scholar is really amazing. He is twenty-three years old, and the sky bridge is perfect. He said there is some pure golden bone!"
"What pure golden bones? I feel inferior to Lord Liang."
"There are always people who are better than you. Sir Liang has long since left the Twenty-Eight Mansions and will not be included in the military examination."
"That's right. A number one scholar appears every three years, and Sir Liang is the first one in sixty years!"
The appearance of Liang Qu is too close to the military examination, which inevitably leads to comparisons between the two.
The outcome is no doubt.
From age to official position, whether it was the 120-foot blood pillar, or lifting five pillars with one hand at the end of February, or even the rarity, it was a crushing victory from beginning to end.
Boom boom boom!
Noisy room.
The three gates of the Meridian Gate suddenly opened, and the voices stopped immediately.
Only the first three civil and military officials, a total of six people, went out from the main gate, and the rest of the people went out from the left and right side gates.
Walk out of the house and get on the horse.
The cannons blared, and a thin white smoke dissipated in the air. The number one scholar wore a golden hat, a red robe, held the imperial edict in his hand, and rode a horse with a golden saddle and a red mane. He was surrounded by people in front and behind, with flags and drums leading the way. The cold wind could not blow away the festive joy.
The Yulin soldiers held long poles and held high square signs with "Silence" and "Avoid" written on them.
The avoidance signs are still useful, and no one dares to block people on the street.
However, the silence sign could not stop the people from making noise.
It was just a lively day for celebration, so no one was looking for trouble and arresting anyone.
The team moved from the Meridian Gate to the riverside like a black wave, and then circled southward.
Long Yao and Long Li grabbed the long hair on the little river otter's head.
Otter opened his eyes and shone.
"It's so lively here. It's a pity that Second Senior Brother stayed in Pingyang and didn't come."
He withdrew his gaze from Xiang Changsong and exhaled. Although he was seeing only the majesty and excitement of others, he felt a different kind of satisfaction in his heart, a feeling of being infected by joy and the happiness of having gained more knowledge.
"Pingyang Prefecture suddenly has an extra state and a county. Second Senior Brother must be very busy."
"We've seen all the important things, and we've also made arrangements with General Xu. It's time for us to leave." Liang Qu called the Otter on the Wangdou to come down and start the boat. "Brothers and sisters, do you want to buy anything else? Outside the imperial capital, you won't find such a complete range of things elsewhere."
"Let's go, today's work is done, and life is complete."
Xu Zishuai stretched lazily.
I arrived in Beijing in late January and left Beijing in late March, a total of two months. From the awarding of honor to today's imperial examination parade, my experience in between can be said to be rich.
By looking at the capital, you can know the countryside; by looking at the country, you can know the country; by looking at the country, you
The world is broad when your horizons are infinite.
"If you want to buy it, just buy it two days in advance. Go back early and you will feel more comfortable at home." Zhuo Shaoqin said.
Sixth Senior Brother Cao Rang agreed: "The capital is too cold after all. If you go to Nanzhili, there should be green grass growing on the roadside at the end of March. Hey, the imperial capital can even have heavy snow in March."
"Row!"
The senior brothers and sisters spoke.
The front door of the house was closed, the doors and windows were all locked, and the servants of the Xu Mansion returned home. The dead leaves were fluttering.
In the huge house, everything returned to being deserted.
No matter how good it is outside, you have to go home eventually.
Wow!
The big anchor rose from the water, and Otter ran to untie the mast ropes.
The sails are inflated and the waves are surging.
"Let's go!"
The water beasts followed with their tails swung.
The fat catfish sighed at the ruins, then hurriedly grabbed a few large boxes and caught up.
The treasure ship was a little slow at first, but in a moment it passed the bustling parade and headed south.
……
"So fast!"
Xu Zishuai went up to the deck, feeling the cold wind blowing in his face, causing every pore on his body to shrink due to the cold.
Looking back.
Covered by clouds and fog, the imperial capital's iconic Moon-Watching Tower was blurring at a speed visible to the naked eye. Less than a quarter of an hour after leaving the Jishuitan, it was almost disappearing without a trace.
"Eighth Junior Brother, how long did it take us to get here?"
Xiang Changsong snapped his fingers and said, "We set out in early January and arrive in late January, which will take less than 20 days. We are going upstream from south to north, and we are going downstream. It should be much faster than when we came here, and we should arrive in 15 days."
Cao Rang exclaimed: "With this treasure ship, can't we make a round trip in about a month?"
"It will probably be faster for us to go to Huangzhou. It won't take a day."
"The distance depends on the person. A horse can run for half an incense stick, but a person can walk for a whole day." Xu Zishuai lay down on the deck. "It's hard for an ordinary person to leave a county, but a martial saint can travel the world. In the morning, he can watch the snow in Tianshan Mountain, and in the afternoon, he can look out to the East China Sea. It's no different from a county town."
Boom!
The deck shook slightly.
Liang Qu put down the heavy object in his hand, and the dripping clear water gathered into a small pool.
"what's the topic?"
Xu Zishuai turned over and sat up, moving away in disgust: "Where did the box come from? It's so dirty?"
The box is square, with round rivets on the corners, which is not unusual. The key point is that the surface of the box is covered with moss and mud, and it looks like it has been soaked in water for a long time.
Liang Qu took the towel handed to him by Long Eying and wiped his hands: "Ah Fei fished out five in total from the pond. They are of varying quality. I wonder if there are any good treasures."
The box in the pond?
Everyone's eyes lit up.
The imperial capital is the richest and most prosperous place in the world.
"Come on, open the boxes and see if there is any good luck in getting rich!"
Everyone surrounded him.
The lock on the box had rusted early on, and Liang Qu used a towel to hold it and twisted it off.
Click!
Wow~
Without the lock connection, the smelly dark green dirty water poured out like vomit.
The martial artists reacted quickly and jumped onto the boat's railings.
There were wisps of stinky algae and a few dead fish that were so rotten that you couldn't tell their species.
Taotao sniffed, dry-heaved a few times, then ran over with a mop to clean it.
When the stench had mostly dissipated, Liang Qu moved closer again, dragged the boat to the side, poured out the dirty water, and picked out the objects.
The things in the box were numerous and messy, mostly daily clothes, three large gold ingots, several small gold ingots, two soaked silver bills, and some rotten pills.
Personal items, worthless.
The only useful thing was the two hundred taels of silver ingots.
Two hundred taels would be considered a fortune for an ordinary person, but for Liang Qu, it was better than nothing and was only enough to pay Long Yao and Long Li two months' salary.
The first battle was unfavorable.
Xu Zishuai urged: “Tear it apart and then open it again!”
Bang bang bang!
Liang Qu didn't hesitate and broke the chains of the remaining four boxes in one go.
