Chapter 788 9 Jin Throwing Flowers
Sun Shan followed the number one scholar, and more and more people followed him. The soldiers on both sides couldn't stop them, and many people rushed over.
Sun Shan heard many boys and girls screaming nearby.
"Is the guy riding a big horse and wearing a big red silk the top scholar? He is so handsome. I am so pleased."
"I think the guy next door is more handsome. I like him!"
"Hey~ Why is the runner-up so old? It's unfair that he can be the runner-up at such an old age!"
When Sun Shan heard this group of "our" fellow villagers commenting on the top three places in the imperial examination, he couldn't help but feel sad for the second place.
Ge Changqing is not very old, he is in his thirties, which is the age for a charming uncle. How can these young ladies and boys speak to him like that?
Damn the face value dog! Sun Shan looked down on him deeply.
There is a saying among the people that when the top scholar leads the successful candidates in a parade passing by your home, you must open the door and take your children and grandchildren to see the top scholar.
Then my kid will be able to have the same luck as the top scholar, and maybe even become the top scholar one day.
Sun Shan saw many parents bringing their sons to see the number one scholar.
The lady next door pointed at her son's head and said sternly, "Dan'er, look at the number one scholar, look carefully, and when you grow up you will be the number one scholar."
The five or six-year-old Daner followed the direction of A Niang's finger and looked at the top scholar, runner-up and third scholar riding horses. He said to A Niang, "A Niang, I want to be the top scholar and ride a horse too!"
The aunt was happy. She thought it was a good ambition to have. If something good happened in her ancestors' graves, maybe she could turn her life around.
He had no idea that his son simply liked riding horses and being the top scholar was just a side effect.
Along the way, many people came from all directions and threw flowers, handkerchiefs, ribbons and candies at the top three winners.
As for those who wanted to throw big white buns and big apples, they would definitely be stopped immediately. What if such a heavy object was thrown and a handsome face was knocked crooked?
Sun Shan looked around but didn't see Jiujin or Guiger. It seemed that his fan club was not strong enough as none of them rushed to the front line to give him gifts.
Sun Shan seriously doubted that Gui Ge'er wouldn't even be able to squeeze in.
Then he looked up and saw that Peng Damu next door had a handkerchief in his hand, which was embroidered with osmanthus flowers.
Ouch, someone actually threw things at the ordinary Peng Damu, this is unscientific.
Peng Damu felt Sun Shan's gaze and said with a slight blush on his face: "Hey, this handkerchief was not thrown at me, I just caught it!"
Sun Shan understood that only those who took the initiative would receive gifts. For those of them who were at the bottom of the list, there were top three winners in the imperial examination, so how could they stand a chance of getting anything?
Sun Shan shook his head and continued walking forward.
Wait until we reach a teahouse.
Suddenly a voice came: "Uncle Shan, Uncle Shan, look over here."
The voice sounded so familiar. Sun Shan looked up and saw that it was Little Flying Pig Jiujin leading a group of He family members on the second floor.
Jiujin was particularly frightened. Half of his body was shaking, and Sun Shan was so frightened that he quickly shouted, "Jiujin, go back quickly, it's dangerous!"
Jiujin is round and the easiest to slide down. I'm really afraid that this kid will jump and fall down.
Should I answer it myself or not?
Take it, I can’t bear this heavy nine kilograms.
If he doesn’t answer, is he still a human being?
Jiujin didn't sense Sun Shan's worry at all. He excitedly held up a branch of yellow wintersweet and shouted excitedly, "Uncle Shan, catch it, catch it quickly, I'll throw the flower to you."
After saying that, he threw it in Sun Shan's direction without caring whether Sun Shan heard it or not.
It’s a pity that the fat boy didn’t have good eyesight and threw it in the wrong direction. It didn’t land in the middle but somewhere on the edge.
Sun Shan stretched out his hand to take it, but unfortunately his arm was not long enough.
Jiujin has always been a smart guy. He then took a bunch of yellow wintersweets from the table and said excitedly, "Uncle Shan, I have more. Come and get them!"
Sun Shan looked at the huge bunch of wintersweets and realized that opportunities only come to those who are prepared.
Jiujin, if you don’t succeed the first time, try twice until you succeed.
The He family members were watching from above and laughing.
He Shujun laughed and said, "Ashan, hurry up and catch it. Don't let Jiujin down."
He's cousin also stretched his head out, smiling happily: "Brother Shan, catch it quickly."
Even Old Madam He stuck her head out and smiled softly and silently when she saw Sun Shan.
Jiujin seized the opportunity and threw down a number of wintersweets in succession. Although many of them went astray, there were enough of them and Sun Shan seized the opportunity and caught a wintersweets that was heading towards him, hitting the middle.
Jiu Jin's big round face was laughing so happily that he almost drooled. He shouted happily: "Uncle Shan, put it on your head, quickly, quickly!"
Sun Shan followed the team forward, looking at the yellow wintersweet in his hand. He wanted to pin it on his head, but was afraid of messing up his hair. In the end, he could only hold it in his hand and follow the number one scholar all the way.
Look, he, Sun Shan, also received flowers.
When Sun Shan turned to Peng Damu, he found that he also had a yellow wintersweet in his hand.
Peng Dayu smiled silently.
Without him saying anything, Sun Shan knew that he was reaching out to take the nine-jin wintersweet. It was the plum blossom viewing season, and the procession was still marching along the street with flags and drums beating loudly. Sun Shan saw that the scholars in front of him had more or less received something.
The people of the capital were so enthusiastic that they kept throwing things in the direction of the top three scholars. Many of the things thrown slipped through the net and were caught by these supporting scholars.
PS: Actually, the second place was just a by-product.
Sun Shan heard the little girl shouting with stars in her eyes again: "The champion is so handsome! I am so happy!"
Another little girl threw out her handkerchief and shouted shyly, "Tanhua Langjun, come and catch my handkerchief!"
The little girl likes the top scholar and the second scholar riding on big horses.
The boys also liked it and threw things to them, shouting, "Zhuangyuan, you are so handsome, I like you too."
Another boy also shouted: "Tanhua, you are more handsome, I like you more!"
Tsk tsk~ No one called out the slightly older runner-up.
Sun Shan once again despised these people who only cared about their looks. It was really too much!
When they reached a turning, a group of people suddenly rushed out, holding cured meat, pork, and big fish in their hands, and rushed towards the parade of Jinshi.
The escorting officers and soldiers were so frightened that they immediately became alert.
This group of people rushed over like hooligans attacking the city gate, causing everyone to scream in surprise.
The one who rushed to the front, holding a big fish in his hand, was an old man, shouting: "Sun Shan, who is Sun Shan? I want to find Sun Shan!"
The old woman next door, who was carrying a piece of pork, shouted, "I want to find Sun Shan, too. I must see Sun Shan today and ask him to pat my grandson's head!"
When everyone heard what the old lady said, they discovered that there was a little kid beside her.
Tsk tsk~ Old woman, do you know it’s dangerous to be in such a crowded place?
Please don't bring your grandchildren here.
No sense of safety at all!
