There are many treasures in this country

About Lu Yu spending a lot of money, Xiao Suo told Shen Yan the next time they met.

That day was half a month, and it was a full moon, which was the official rest day.Now it's winter, the weather is getting colder and colder, the trees on the street have all taken off their clothes, they are bare, gray, and very depressed.

Xiao Suo was still wearing a half-worn bamboo robe, with a short padded jacket on top, green in color, with a circle of snow-white fur around the neckline, which would cover an inch below his chin, like wearing a Guanyin bag.

Shen Yan held Baoyu in his arms and waited for him at the back door. When the carriage came in, he saw him stepping on the pedal tremblingly, carried him off, and asked with a smile: "What is this? It's not gray, Such a baby!"

Xiao Suo's face was very solemn, he turned his head and told Babao to play by himself, while quietly pulling Shen Yan through the garden, into the inner room, and closed the door like a thief before showing him the Yuewang sword.

"That day I went to the Zhenwu Antique Shop and met Lu Yu there. He bought the sword for 3000 taels of gold, but he insisted on giving it to me. Before he left, he even told you to brew the poisonous tea..." Xiao Suoyu said The voice got lower and lower, and gradually there was no movement.

"He's taking advantage of the money!" Shen Yan didn't care at all: "This is really a good sword, don't waste it, just keep it."

"But..." Xiao Suo said, "I don't want his stuff, and it's so expensive, I dare not accept it, even if I accept it, it's useless."

He frowned, amused.

Every time Shen Yan saw him like this, he couldn't hold back his desire to protect him and show his strength in front of him, so he lowered his head and kissed him on the cheek: "What are you afraid of, just give him 3000 taels of gold and that's it! Swords, warriors carry swords. You will be named on the gold list in the future, and you will be among the ranks of scholar-officials. You should also have a good sword to decorate. I think this one is very good. If you want to find a better one, you may run out of it, so keep it for now. "

"But..." Xiao Suo wanted to say something more, but he didn't know what to say.

It's just that it's too expensive.

He didn't bring the sapphire dagger, it was something he wanted to buy for Shen Yan, but now Lu Yu bought it for him, and he felt that the taste had changed.

"What did you go to the antique shop for?" Shen wanted to ask when he saw him in Yinzhongxian Tower that day.

Xiao Suo hurriedly concealed: "No...didn't do anything, just wander around."

"It's good to turn around, you are always stuck at home, and your heart is easy to get bored." Shen Yan threw the ancient sword aside casually, led him to have breakfast, and said: "It's so cold today, how do you wear it?" So few? Don’t learn from those with strong firepower, it doesn’t matter if they are shirtless in winter, but you will get sick if the wind blows!”

"...that makes me so delicate!" Xiao Suo didn't take it seriously, even though he was weaker, he was still a young man, and he would fall down whenever the wind blows!

In Shen Yan's eyes, he is not just a sick cat: "Still talking hard, if you get cold tomorrow, I will ask the doctor to give you acupuncture and moxibustion, to see if you are afraid!"

"I'm not afraid." Xiao Suo was really not afraid. "My father is a doctor. He has given me acupuncture since I was a child, and I have already practiced it."

"So you can practice riding a horse?" Shen Yan asked taking advantage of the situation.

Xiao Suo was really excited: "No, I won't... I won't practice!"

"That won't work," Shen Yan handed him the noodle bowl, and added two pieces of crispy beef to the bowl. "Eat quickly, I will take you to learn how to ride a horse after dinner, and then we will come back to sleep!"

Xiao Suo didn't know which sentence to refute him: "I really don't want to learn how to ride a horse, don't force me, please!"

Shen Yan sighed, and said: "I let you learn how to ride a horse for future consideration. After the new year, you will have to take the Chunwei exam in the beginning of spring, and then there will be the imperial examination. If you are named on the gold list, you will be paraded through the streets with big red flowers. Arrive If you don’t ride a horse, why don’t you still ride a donkey?”

He stood up, pouted his buttocks, imitated the posture of a cowardly pulling a donkey, laughed and said: "Look, Dubao is riding a donkey, one is more stubborn than the other!"

Xiao Suo was displeased, and kicked his heel again and again: "You bullied me again!"

"Hey, I'm serious!" Shen Yan said with a smile, "If you don't learn, don't learn. Anyway, everyone will ride a horse, and you will ride a donkey behind. That thing is stubborn, evil donkey, evil donkey, lead If you don’t go, just go backwards, you should surrender slowly! Oh, by the way, if you win the top spot again, it will be obvious. The whole team has to follow you, but your donkey will not Let's go, the people in the city don't need to look at anything else, just look at you, the new champion pulling the evil donkey!"

"It's just nonsense." Xiao Suo pouted, "Not all donkeys are like this, everyone else can ride it, and I, I too... Maybe I won't pass the exam."

In fact, what Xiao Suo thought in his heart was not that other people could ride a donkey, so he could, whether the donkey walked or not was the next thing, he didn't dare to ride a donkey at all.

However, Shen Yan was extremely concerned, parading the number one scholar every three years was a great custom in this dynasty, especially after ascending the throne today.Huan Ye is young and vigorous, and the power in the court is weak. He has long wanted to cultivate his confidants, and it is for this reason that he has joined Enke repeatedly before.

In order to tell people all over the world what it was like to take the exams and pass the imperial examinations, and also to show his desire to recruit talents, the emperor has organized a large-scale parade over the years, which can be described as a grand event.

According to the scientific examination regulations of the past dynasties, all the candidates for the palace examination are divided into three grades, that is, the top three.It is well known that there are only three in Yijia—the top three—who are awarded the No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], and Tanhua respectively.

But most people in the world don’t know that only the first three candidates will be awarded the title of “Jinshi Jidi”.

There is no fixed number for the second and third class, it is only determined by the number of students admitted in that year.Among them, some of the top two were given the title of "Born as Jinshi", and some of the top three were given the title of "Born with Jinshi".

——The world ridiculed, and often juxtaposed "Tongjinshi" and "Mrs. Ru" to satirize the low status of "Tongjinshi".Having said that, but the world is so big, there are so many students, admissions are made layer by layer, and only a hundred people are selected every three years.

Therefore, it is not just one or three people parading the streets, but nearly a hundred people riding horses together.

The candidates who passed the palace examination were personally sent out of the palace gate by the Holy Majesty, and there were outside the emperor's relatives, Yu Lin Zuowei Weiwei and Xiongqu Zuowei Wuwei, who were personally escorted by the two guards of the four armies. They first went to Longmen to read the list, and then circled the city Parade through the streets, and finally return to the palace to thank you.

Not only that.

The horses ridden by the testers are also unusual. They are all imperial horses in the Flying Dragon Stables in the Dianzhong Province, and all of them are Ili horses specially used for ceremonial guards. They are very tall.

All these are the highest treatment that can only be enjoyed by the emperor, and even if the disciples become prosperous in the future and become extremely powerful officials, they will never have such opportunities again.

This moment is the pinnacle of a scholar's life.

At that time, more than a hundred Jinshi will ride horses at the same time. It seems more accurate to call this event "Jinshi Parade".It's just that people in the world always chase the top names, and the three of them are at the front of the line, so people often call them "the number one scholar parading the streets".

As usual, when the candidates paraded through the streets, someone would lead the horses and fall into the stirrups, so it didn't matter if they didn't know how to ride a horse.But Xiao Suo's courage is very small, and the incident of falling off a horse in Shepu before has left a shadow in his heart.If he hadn't been blindfolded and carried by Shen Yan to ride the horse like last time, he wouldn't even dare to touch the donkey again.

The noodles in the bowl were lumpy, but he was still sitting there with a sad face in a daze.Shen Yan brought his noodles in front of him, ordered someone to replace him with a new bowl, then put the beef into his bowl, and said: "Don't worry, it's still early, let's learn slowly, we will eventually Learn to ride."

"Can't you not learn?" Xiao Suo asked knowingly.

"What do you think?" Shen Yan pinched his face.

"Okay." Xiao Suo ordered two mouthfuls of noodles, hesitatingly said, "Can I, first learn to ride a donkey..."

Shen Yan smiled: "No."

After having a very short breakfast, Shen Yan dragged Xiao Suo who was pacing back and forth into the carriage, ordered Eleven to go out from the corner gate, and headed south all the way to Shepu outside the city.

Xiao Suo's heart skipped a beat, he only thought about the sudden rain in the sky, or a tree suddenly breaking in front of him blocking the way, so they could go back home.Even if it is not necessary to go back home, it is good to delay for a while.

Sensing his uneasiness, Shen Yan said with a smile: "By the way, I didn't bother to ask: How do you feel when you go to the Hongwen Museum during this time? Are the people in the library getting along well? , Give you anger? Is there a lot of work in it, is it difficult, do you feel tired on weekdays? How do you eat, put food in the restaurant, or bring it yourself?"

His series of questions did take away a lot of Xiao Suo's energy, and the tension in his heart dissipated immediately. "Although the affairs in the restaurant are complicated, everyone is very kind, and Mr. Xiaoshulang takes good care of me, so it is very smooth and not tiring. There are meals in the lunch hall, but they are slightly more expensive. I will go outside to buy food , Come back and eat with everyone, it’s the same.”

"Really?" Shen Yan was seven years older than him, so he could see through his disguise at a glance. "Where do you usually go to buy food?"

Xiao Suo hesitated and said: "There is an alley outside the museum, there are many food stalls there, there are noodle cakes and soup dumplings, they are all there, not worse than in the museum."

Shen Yan was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he didn't ask any more questions, but said: "You can eat in the restaurant from now on. Everyone eats in the restaurant, and you are the only one who goes out to buy, so you won't be ordered!"

Hearing this, Xiao Suo nodded in agreement.

When the carriage arrived at Shepu, Shen Yan was at the gate first, Eleven led Xiao Suo in through the side door, and the two met in the bamboo forest inside.

This day Xiao Suo only learned how to get close to the horse, he didn't even touch the edge of the stirrup.Shen Yan stuffed the rein into his hand and let him lead him for a walk. He walked for a day while talking like this.

On the way back in the evening, Shen Yan asked him: "How is it? Isn't it very simple? Actually, there's nothing to be afraid of, it's just your demons."

Xiao Suo's foot injury healed today, but it was broken tomorrow, and the tear didn't last long. After walking down this day, it started to flare up again. At this moment, it was sore and painful, and he didn't want to say a word.

"Why, tired?" Shen Yan poured a cup of tea and fed it to his lips, "I only ate that at noon, I must be hungry now. Don't sleep, go home and eat before going to bed."

It's okay if you don't say anything, but after saying this, Xiao Suo became more and more confused when he fell on him.Shen Yan smiled, dragged him into his arms, and let him rest on his arm.

When he got home, he had fallen asleep.

The carriage entered through the corner gate, Shen Yan hugged him horizontally, and carried him all the way inward, his steps were exceptionally cheerful.

Eleven followed behind and asked, "Master, what are you doing?"

He originally wanted to ask Shen Yan if he wanted dinner or if he had other things to do.If it's a meal, he can tell the kitchen to pass the meal, if there are other things, he can tell the kitchen to wait first.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yan said with a smile: "Go to sleep!"

The author has something to say:

=====Ancient small theater (please enter carefully when the thunder is rolling!)=====

A little fairy is worried about Xiao Suo, let's ask Dubao:
