Chapter 313 Cold Noodles with Shredded Chicken
When Liu Sheng hurried back to Chang'an and flew outside the Gongyuan in a cloud sedan, noon had passed.
The long street is still lively, but there are not so many people anymore.
In the wine shop, there was a buzz of people, and the aroma of wine and meat wafted for ten miles. It was the candidates who made it to the list who called their friends to toast to celebrate.
And those candidates who failed went home early and were secretly sad. Even if they wanted to drink, they would never be here, so as not to get emotional here.
The newspaper writers, the worried parents who wanted to catch the son-in-law and the daughter-in-law, and the gossipy and curious people who had nothing to do and had nothing to do, had gone back to their homes after the excitement.
Liu Sheng walked slowly along the long street towards the Zhang Bang Wall.
There was no one under the wall. Under the divine face shining in the sky, only the huge exam board hanging in mid-air shone with a golden aura, and the apricot flowers bloomed beautifully on it.
After all, you already know everything you need to know.
Although Liu Sheng already knew the result through good news from different people, she was still afraid that it was a dream and had to confirm it herself to feel at ease.
On the examination list, the first column, the first line:
[First place, Liu Sheng, Xiaoluyuan]
This line of black characters decorated with gold powder gradually became apparent in her eyes. It was blurry, as if it was about to flap its wings and fly away.
But after blinking his eyes, those words were firmly branded on it again, shining with golden light.
No, I can’t cry.
It’s not cool to cry.
Look carefully, behind her is:
[Second place, Wen Xuanning, Chang'an]
[Third place, Lin Shuying, Chang'an]< br>
[Fourth place, Gao Yisheng, Jinghu]
[Fifth place, Yu Huan, Xiushui Town]
......
[Two hundredth place, Yan Cheng, Ju County]
Liu Sheng read it carefully. In addition to Senior Sister Lin Shuying, Zhong Youzhi, Qu Chunyan and Lu Shen are all on the list.
Wang Dongdong was ranked at the bottom of the list, barely making it to the list at number 172.
Her cheap cousin Ling Yuke ranked twenty-third.
Although it's not bad, I don't know if she can accept it if she is so arrogant and arrogant.
One of the more familiar ones is Jing Hao, ranking 17th.
Liu Sheng couldn't help but sigh, it's great, everything seems to be developing for the better.
Although she still doesn’t know how she got off the list and got on the list again, what she sees before her is proof that this is not her dream.
The small tentacle weakly scratched Liu Sheng's beating heart, fearing that she would faint from a fast heartbeat.
【Are you so excited? 】The world feels a little incredible.
【That is natural, the ups and downs of life are just like this? 】One Liu Sheng had already burst into tears in his heart. The cry was contagious, and many Liu Sheng cried with joy.
[And winning the first place greatly satisfies human vanity. 】The world tries to understand.
Liu Sheng did not deny it either.
【Who doesn’t have vanity? We are not immune to it either. 】
Liu Sheng sat at a cold noodle stall near Gongyuan and ordered a bowl of shredded chicken cold noodles.
On such a hot day, cold noodles are just right.
Just sit and calm down.
While waiting for the boss to prepare the cold noodles, Liu Sheng took out the spiritual message and sent the result to the person who should publish it.
First of all, it must be her parents who are far away in Xiaoluyuan.
My parents will be surprised when they find out, right?
It’s possible to be friendly among the neighbors again.
But she didn’t know that there was no need for her to send a message at all. The moment the list was announced, Magistrate Lu of Xiaoluyuan had already received the message that Xiaolvyuan finally had a tribute, that is, he had passed the examination. who.
Moreover, it’s still Huiyuan.
Is this okay? This is a major achievement of his tenure!
It should be noted that there is no county within a hundred miles that can produce a tribute scholar. Let alone tribute scholars, there are very few who have passed the government examination and entered the academy.
Thinking about it this way, Master Ling and Lao Liu’s girl really make Xiao Luyuan look good!
Not only was he admitted to the academy, but now he is also preparing for the imperial examination, which is incredible.
"The county magistrate not only knows how to test her as a Huiyuan, but also knows how to test her as a Jieyuan..."
Two consecutive hits?
Awesome!
Surprised and delighted, Magistrate Lu, who had been playing backgammon while still in the Yamen, quickly staggered to his feet, called for people to quickly arrange congratulations, and went to Guangzhou in person while beating gongs and drums. Feng Lou came to pay his respects.
A few casual guests who were having a drink in Guangfeng Building early in the morning suddenly heard a noise outside the door, as well as the sound of gongs, drums, and firecrackers. They were confused and didn't know what night it was. I thought it was Chinese New Year.
Then I saw the county magistrate entering with a smile on his face, and behind him a group of government officials brought in fruits, bacon, chickens, ducks, a suckling pig and other various congratulations like a stream of water.
The most important thing is a box with compelling spiritual energy. Once opened, a box of spiritual essence is neatly placed inside.
Although the preparation was a little hasty, the government officials went to several houses to prepare it. They even collected a few pieces of bacon from the government kitchen, and the red silk was tied crookedly.
But it would be nice to have it. Who would have thought that the trial release of the list would be related to Xiaoluyuan!
The idlers saw their throats quivering, surprised and greedy. They thought they had drank too much during the day, so they were dreaming. They stretched out their hands to fish, but were slapped by the government officials. Clap it off.
More and more people crowded in outside, beating gongs and drums to promote the event. Everyone knew what was going on.
It's just that the villagers are simple and don't know what Huiyuan is, and they don't know the difference between the Hui Yuan Examination and the Fu Examination. But in short, it is a great good thing, otherwise the county magistrate would not come to the door in person to congratulate him so solemnly.
This is a large battle that has never been seen before.
The clerk invited Liu Ruhai out of the kitchen with a confused look on his face. He was also holding a chicken that had just been cooked and plucked.
Originally Liu Ruhai said that he had not finished processing the ingredients and refused to go out no matter what, but he was still forcibly asked to leave the kitchen. With this posture, if it weren't for the respectful attitude of the clerk, he would have thought that he had committed something.
Originally, the clerk had explained something, but there was so much noise in the kitchen just now that he couldn't hear a word clearly.
As soon as he stepped out of the kitchen, Liu Ruhai saw a crowd of people in the dark building, with the constant noise of gongs and drums, and a pile of congratulatory gifts wrapped in red silk lying on the ground. There was some hesitation.
At this time, the county magistrate stepped forward directly. With a wink, the clerk next to him took the featherless chicken from Liu Ruhai's hand in time and held it respectfully in his hand.
Then Magistrate Lu did not dislike the fishy smell in Liu Ruhai's hands, held his hand tightly and said solemnly: "Mr. Liu is a great talent."
Liu Ruhai looked confused.
The next sentence I heard from the county magistrate was: "I raised a good daughter."
"Yes... Sheng'er is indeed good."
Liu Ruhai agreed, but was still at a loss. Why did Lao Lu suddenly Praising your own daughter?
You are still dressed so formally, and you even called yourself Lao Liu yesterday, but today you will call yourself Mr. Liu?
"Miss Liu, oh, no, Liu Huiyuan really made our little green garden look good this time!"
Liu Ruhai opened his eyes wide: "Hui Yuan?"
Although he didn't realize what it was yet, he knew it must be an amazing achievement.
At this time, Ling Youlian was also invited to the lobby of Guangfeng Building.
"You mean, my Shengsheng will be the first in the examination?" Unlike Liu Ruhai, who has no ability to study, she is much clearer about the imperial examination, and she immediately understood it when she heard this.
Magistrate Lu nodded in agreement.
Several idle guests in Guangfeng Building finally understood. They didn't expect that they would be eating the food cooked by Jinke Huiyuan's father. No wonder it was so delicious!
Ling Youlian's face turned pale and she slowly sat down holding on to the table and chairs.
Everyone was still a little worried, but she waved her hand and said it was okay.
I saw her covering her chest and saying slowly: "Shengsheng, I finally passed the examination... Will my Shengsheng finally get what he wanted?"
There was mist in her eyes. Gradually.
She knew how much Liu Sheng was looking forward to this day.
Liu Ruhai had already burst into tears, his face turned red, he sobbed and wiped his tears with his apron, and shouted: "It's a happy event in Guangfeng Tower today. I, Liu Ruhai, will treat you all to dinner and free drinks!"
Suddenly the audience cheered and applauded loudly.
Ling Youlian watched from the side. Although she blamed Liu Ruhai for losing his family, she was also happy in her heart. She finally opened her mouth and did not stop him.
Liu Ruhai asked Li Xiaoer to invite the officials from the county government and the villagers and elders who came to watch to take their seats. The entire Guangfeng Building was full.
He wiped away his tears and nose, picked up the featherless chicken, and went into the kitchen to get busy. Several fellow villagers who were also good at cooking also volunteered to help.
Today is a happy day, how can the father of Huiyuan be so tired?
Ling Youlian was surrounded by villagers, who all asked her for advice on how to educate their children.
Thinking about it, I know that with Liu Ruhai’s brains, Ling Youlian will play a greater role in this aspect.
This day is destined to be a busy day for Liu Ruhai and Ling Youlian.
Not to mention that later even Qinghe's prefect Chen came to congratulate him with all the government officials. He also said that he was quite optimistic about Liu Sheng when he saw her in Qinghe and felt that she was definitely not something in the pond.
Ling Youlian didn’t ask whether it was true or not. In short, he just accepted the congratulations and took a seat.
So they didn’t have time to tell Liu Sheng. In fact, they already knew.
......
The second one, out of respect for the teacher, Liu Sheng gave it to Nangong Wan.
Nangong Wan came back immediately.
But he only replied:
[I know, prepare well for the palace examination. 】
Liu Sheng was a little disappointed.
But she didn’t know that Nangong Wan naturally knew it right away. She did dozens of side flips while there was no one in Huaishan, and now she has returned to her dignified and intellectual appearance to entertain someone. The sloppy swordsman who gossips.
The third one, of course, Liu Sheng sent to Wen Weilan, who had not heard from him for a long time.
Then there is Cuicui in Qinghe.
Wen Weilan still didn’t reply, but Cuicui immediately replied happily with a series of texts.
Liu Sheng could imagine her being so excited that she cried incoherently.
Subsequently, a message was sent saying that she had given a large amount of spiritual energy to Liu Sheng to make Liu Sheng live more comfortably in Chang'an, saying that she would also come to Chang'an in a few days.
"This little girl is so grand." Liu Sheng shook his head and said with a smile.
As for the matter of Cuicui coming to Chang'an, according to her guess, it should be a matter of Qingyun Pavilion, but she has been busy with the imperial examination recently, and Cuicui will not let her get involved.
That’s all, let’s put this matter aside for now.
Liu Sheng doesn’t plan to talk about the others.
You will know when you need to know.
She deliberately said it but it seemed like she was showing off.
At this time, the shredded chicken cold noodles were served. The slightly yellow noodles were mixed with snow-white shredded chicken and cucumber, sprinkled with fried sesame seeds and chopped peanuts, mixed with minced garlic and chili. The noodles are topped with a layer of secret sauce that is rich in vinegar and oil, which is very satisfying.
The store also specially prepared a bowl of chicken soup. The clear yellow soup is rich and tangy.
Just enough to quench your thirst.
Liu Sheng put aside the spiritual message for now and eat noodles first.
The early climb was really tiring.
In order to smooth the plot, some words have been corrected:
1. The order of the imperial examination: Provincial Examination → General Examination → Palace Examination
2. Liu Sheng won the first place in the General Examination and was Huiyuan , the first place in the early provincial examination was Jieyuan
