Chapter 156 Is it you?
The Parade of the Number One Scholar has always been an annual event.

Looking at the prospects alone, the number one scholar is selected by the emperor after the imperial examination, which means that whether it is talent or political opinions, he must be the one most appreciated by the emperor. After becoming an official, at least in the early stage, he will definitely be used by the emperor, and his future is limitless. .

Looking back on selfish reasons, the man who won the first place in the imperial examination for a year represented the emperor's vision, and his appearance must not be too bad.A handsome husband with a bright future, in the eyes of the families in Kyoto who have girls to marry, is undoubtedly a piece of meat that is tempting to gnaw on.

Let’s look at influence.

There was no restriction on the subjects of the imperial examination during the Great Zhou Dynasty. Anyone from a wealthy family to a rural villager could sign up for the examination as long as they wanted to participate.Hearing that this new top scholar was originally a poor scholar, but now he has won the top spot, it has inspired the vast number of ordinary people with no identity background, and firmly believes that people with real talents can really stand out.

In this way, Qin Yuehuai became the most fragrant among the "hot cakes".

When he paraded down the street, naturally, countless people lined the streets eagerly waiting for him.

From a distance, they saw that the man on horseback was tall, tall and elegant, and they wanted to take a closer look to see him clearly, so they involuntarily squeezed towards the middle of the road.

The excitement along the road continued, and the noise became louder and louder.

Worried that the safety of the new top scholar would be threatened, Qingdao's Ouchi guards stood ready. Anyone who tried to squeeze in would be mercilessly blocked, and they would mercilessly push them back with their long swords.

When Shen Yanhan ran down from the second floor of Jinyi Square and stood in the middle of the road waiting for the oncoming Qin Yuehuai team, the leading guard immediately shouted in her direction: "Make way! Make way! Why don't you all move to both sides!"

People on the street slowly and obediently dispersed in both directions.

Shen Yanhan turned a deaf ear and did not retreat at all.

She had just seen the man in fresh clothes on the second floor. Although he was far away and his appearance was not clear, and his clothes were completely different from before, she immediately recognized him as Qin Yuehuai, who had disappeared for several months.

The excitement in her heart was no less than the hustle and bustle on the street at the moment. Under the astonished gazes of others, and Mu Jin's panicked reminders of "Madam, Madam, please take care of yourself", Shen Yanhan almost ran away, Taking ten steps one step at a time, he rushed to the street as fast as he could in his life.

The sun was scorching, the heat was scorching, and there was no cool breeze. The young lady's charming face and delicate white skin were stained with fine sweat.

But she didn't feel anything about it. She had a clear gaze, staring straight in the direction of the man who was approaching from far away.

Seeing that she was the only one disobedient, the Qingdao guards were very impatient and raised their swords at her: "Aren't your ears hard to use? I tell you to move back! Move quickly! Don't get close! Move back to both sides!"

Shen Yanhan stood on tiptoe and without hesitation, shouted behind the guard: "Qin Yuehuai!"

She pushed even further, and the guard simply pushed her with the handle of his knife, "Back off! What Qin Yuehuai? This is Qi Zhuangyuan!"

Shen Yanhan was pushed and staggered, and finally looked away from the person on the horse.

She looked at the guard who pushed her, with puzzled eyes: "Qi Zhuangyuan?"

When she stepped back, her arms opened out of instinct, revealing her bulging belly. When the guard saw this, the stern look on his face faded a bit, but his tone was still bad: "Of course he is the number one scholar in Qi! Since you admit your mistake, little lady, If you are alive, get out of the way quickly and don't let me hurt you again."

Shen Yanhan persisted: "His surname is Qi? Not Qin? What's Qi?"

The guard frowned, but in the end he gave her the answer: "Feast together."

Shen Yanhan was surprised, and his thick eyelashes trembled, hesitating whether he was seeing the wrong person because he was too far away.

The guard looked at her cheeks that were flushed from running, her bright appearance, and the disappointment in her eyes. He was a little confused for a moment and thought: Would such a pregnant little lady with such opposite expressions be able to change her face? Has Qi Zhuangyuan recognized his husband?
He didn't do anything rough anymore, but gave guidance: "Stand a little further to the roadside. With just this distance, you can see Qi Zhuangyuan clearly in a while."

She wanted to see him clearly, but she didn't have to stand in the middle of the road blocking the way. Shen Yanhan nodded and stood by the road obediently.

The guard finally breathed a sigh of relief and moved forward, continuing to shout loudly: "Those in front should retreat to both sides!"

Shen Yanhan frowned and shook the brocade fan in his hand twice.

The new champion, a banquet?
*
The parade continued to march lively, and various noises could be heard.

Qin Yuehuai's face was stern as he stood up. He was nodding perfunctorily in response to the crowd around him who enthusiastically called him "Qi Zhuangyuan", but his thoughts had long been far away.During the days he was hiding, he did not release any information to the outside world. Knowing the power of the Wang family in Lin'an Mansion, he did not even dare to inform Yang Dong.

After finally enduring the imperial examination, his ninth uncle finally failed to recognize him under a cautious disguise. Finally, he became the number one scholar, and his identity was truly upright. He was not afraid of being noticed, but because of this He had been hiding for several months, and he also knew nothing about the people he had "lost contact" with.

I don’t know, what happened to Jiao Jiao?
At this moment, he seemed to hear a familiar voice in the crowd.

Qin Yuehuai suddenly raised his eyelids and looked around in all directions.

Shen Yanhan stood in the crowd, her excitement calmed down slightly, and her certainty that the number one scholar was Qin Yuehuai gradually dissipated.

It is true that Qin Yuehuai has made some progress in his knowledge, but his foundation is so poor. It is very difficult to get into the Jinshi list, let alone the number one scholar.How did Qin Yuehuai get the ability to become the number one pick?

Just now the guard said that the new number one scholar was called Qi Yan. She also remembered that she had a touch of luck and went to see Qin Yuehuai's name on the day when the results were released. Looking back now, she had never heard of the one who topped the list. People still remember that there are still people talking on the side, and they don’t know where this new top scholar comes from, and he compares himself to several familiar and talented men from aristocratic families.

Thinking like this, Shen Yanhan felt complicated.

She felt that it was understandable that the person was not Qin Yuehuai, but she also thought that if it was not Qin Yuehuai, she would inevitably be disappointed. So where did Qin Yuehuai go?

The noise around him gradually became louder. Shen Yanhan understood that the number one scholar was approaching, so he slowly raised his eyes and looked at the person in focus.

She met Qin Yuehuai's shocked look on her face.

There was a roar in Shen Yanhan's head.

At this moment, Shen Yanhan felt that her eyes and brain were stagnant, and she didn't know how to react.

Across the swaying crowd of people holding up their sleeves, the two of them looked at each other and were both stunned.

Ma Langjun has a solemn figure, a unique temperament, and a stern expression. There are also a few scars on his handsome face that slightly disfigure his appearance.

He was someone she knew very well.

At first glance, this cold and desolate temperament was not the person she remembered.

Qin Yuehuai was shocked not only because he actually saw Shen Yanhan, but also because he saw her exposed abdomen when she waved her fan and raised her sleeves.

The road was cleared by the guards. In order to prevent crowding, the team leader ordered to move forward quickly. When the guards ordered to move, Qin Yuehuai's horses suddenly moved faster.

Seeing Qin Yuehuai passing by, Shen Yanhan shouted to him: "Qin Yuehuai, is that you?"

"Qin Yuehuai!"

"Qin Yuehuai!"

"is that you?"

Qin Yuehuai's eyes were complicated.

He only looked at Shen Yanhan quietly and did not dare to reply in public.

The two looked at each other, and Shen Yanhan watched helplessly as the Number One Scholar walked away surrounded by a group of guards.

She thought: The spring breeze was triumphant, condescending, and felt like a world away.

She stared at Qin Yuehuai's back as he looked away, and murmured to herself: "Have you been lying to me? Who are you?"
