Chapter 791 The Imperial Parade Ends
At this time, Kong Yi came out from nowhere, threw a flower to Sun Shan, and shouted happily: "Brother Sun, catch it!"
Then he said with a smile: "Brother Sun, when you are done, you must treat us to tea!"
Sun Shan caught Kong Yi's tossed flower and said happily, "Okay, I'll treat you to tea when I'm free!"
Kong Yi is from Dezhou, which is close to the capital, so he can wander around here for a longer time.
Zhu Pengyun's home is far away. I heard that he will go home with his fellow villagers in a few days.
Sun Shan shook his head, didn't think too much, and continued to follow the top scholar.
There were really a lot of people on the street, standing densely together to watch the excitement.
They also discuss from time to time who is more handsome, who is more elegant, who is the oldest, and who has a childish face.
Of course, we also discussed which one was the ugliest.
However, when talking about who is the ugliest, you must speak in a low voice. If the Jinshi master hears it, he might hold a grudge against you.
Sun Shan was walking with the large group and was approaching the finish line.
One of the highlights of his life was coming to an end.
I was just thinking about whether to eat boiled chicken or roast goose when I get back.
Suddenly, a group of people emerged from the intersection.
Rushing desperately towards the team of new scholars.
Sun Shan had a bad feeling and waited to see clearly.
Damn! Aren’t these the same die-hard fans from before?
The old man was holding his little grandson, the old woman was holding her little grandson, and there was a scholar in a long gown in the middle.
It seems that these waves of fans have merged.
Sun Shan really wanted to ask them, who organized them to charge together in such an orderly manner?
Sun Shan swore to heaven that the powder was definitely not bought by him.
He didn't put any effort into this.
The old woman pulled her grandson and when she saw Sun Shan, she shouted, "Mr. Sun, look here. Come and touch my grandson."
The old woman was unwilling to give up and insisted that Sun Shan consecrate her grandson today.
The first time he bought a pound of pork, and this time he bought another pound of pig heads, spending a total of 30 cents. He wanted to let Sun Shan touch his grandson.
This money cannot be wasted.
The old man desperately rushed towards the officers and soldiers, shouting: "Mr. Sun, I brought my grandson to see you. I like you the most, and my grandson likes you the most too!"
The scholars behind him also shouted, "Brother Sun, we like you too. We have liked you since we knew you. Brother Sun, we want to follow you!"
A middle-aged man and a woman shouted anxiously: "Mr. Sun, look here. My name is Niu Dachun, you must remember my name, I live in......"
This is an uninvited introduction, and no one knows what they are going to do.
Sun Shan looked at the true fans with a tingling scalp. How much love must they have for him to have such a crazy star-chasing behavior?
The more they called Sun Shan, the less he dared to come closer.
His face turned pale and he hid behind the officers and soldiers in fear.
Ouch! That's terrible.
The officers and soldiers looked at Sun Shan helplessly.
What kind of charm does this Jinshi Sun have that makes these people crazy about him, crazy for him, and run for him relentlessly?
These crazy admirers are unstoppable.
In the past, officers and soldiers were worried that the common people would do something extreme when seeing the style of the top three candidates, so they concentrated their forces in the front and worked hard to protect the top three candidates.
But they didn't know that this time the people would go crazy about Mr. Sun who was behind them, causing their leader to quickly withdraw manpower to guard the rear closely.
The officers and soldiers looked carefully at the last third-class Jinshi Sun, who was short and thin, with a pointed face and a pair of triangular eyes. Fortunately, he had all the facial features, otherwise he would have no chance to take the imperial examination.
The officers and soldiers really couldn't see what charm there was in Mr. Sun. Many people actually screamed crazily at him and gave him many simple and unpretentious gifts.
The officers and soldiers had some wild thoughts about Sun Shan, and then continued to do what they were doing.
Their main task was to protect the safety of the newly-minted Jinshi, so when facing the attack of the crowd, Sun Shan was the only member of the team, and they would not allow any unrelated persons to approach.
The fanatical fans were still yelling: "Mr. Sun, don't go, look over here."
"Brother Sun, did you receive the letter I wrote to you? You must reply!"
"Brother Sun, I like you the most. Even if you are not the top scholar or the third scholar, I still like you!"
Sun Shan: ...
Haters! This must be a hater!
If you are a true fan, you will never say such things.
Sun Shan really wanted to say to the officers and soldiers: Please get this black fan out.
If you can’t speak, please don’t speak!
Sun Shan continued to move forward with the team. At first, Peng Damu looked at him strangely, then the classmates in front of him looked at him strangely, and finally many of his classmates in the team looked at him meaningfully.
Fortunately, Sun Shan was thick-skinned and followed the team calmly without blushing or getting nervous.
What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a handsome guy?
If you haven’t seen it, I’ll let you see it today!
As for the brainless fans behind him, Sun Shan chose to ignore them.
It's not that I'm arrogant, but this situation is too chaotic. For your own safety, you'd better stay away from crazy fans.
The so-called imperial parade is when officials use umbrellas, ceremonial guards, and entourage to parade the newly-appointed Jinshi along a fixed route, and then everyone sends the number one scholar home together.
Although Du Liuboshi was from Yuzhang, he was an official for generations and had a house in the capital.
Led by Du Zhuangyuan, Sun Shan and his gang came to where he lived.
Everyone lined up and went forward one by one to say goodbye to Du Zhuangyuan.
Sun Shan followed the crowd, bowed, and said a few polite words.
Sun Shan saw Du Zhuangyuan again. After such a long time, he still looked so good. The hairpin on his head was shining, and the red silk he wore made him look even more elegant and noble.
What a handsome young man!
Du Zhuangyuan is 23 years old, and Sun Shan is also 23 years old. Why do they feel like they are of different generations?
Sun Shan looked at the Tanhua winner again. What a sunny and tough young man, full of vigor and vitality. No wonder he became the Tanhua winner. The only regret is that Tanhua Li is married and has children.
Then he took a furtive look at the runner-up who was looked down upon because of his age.
Although he is much inferior to the top two candidates in the imperial examination, he is still a mature and steady uncle.
Oh, I feel so sad for the runner-up.
Du Liubo pretended to look at Sun Shan casually.
There were waves of noise just now, some directed at himself, some at the Tanhua winner, and the rest at Sun Shan.
The first time Du Liubo saw Sun Shan was in the examination room. He thought Sun Shan was quite funny in his ill-fitting clothes and laughed out loud.
Now he looked at Sun Shan carefully again and recalled the contents of the "Beijing Tabloid".
Du Liubo was absolutely certain that Sun Tongnian was a talented person.
The college examination, the provincial examination, the metropolitan examination, and today's palace examination have all been at the bottom of the list.
Du Liubo couldn't help but exclaim "Strange!"
It is not surprising that one always gets first place in the exams; this has happened in history.
But he always ranked last in the exams, which is unprecedented and will never happen again!
He ranked last in the college examination, last in the provincial examination, and last in the metropolitan examination. Although they were all first, it was a qualitative leap!
Du Liubo had to say that Sun Shan was a lucky man!
