Ye Junsheng woke up early today, washed up, and dealt with some trivial matters. Not long after, Ye Junmei, who had gone out to buy vegetables in the morning, came back, carrying a basket of vegetables and looking a little sad. After asking, I learned that after one night, there seemed to be more servants from wealthy families waiting outside the door.
The courtyard here is not small, but only the Ye brothers and sisters live in the residence, and there are no servants. From the inside to the outside, everything is done by myself, so it is inevitable that there will be some inconvenience. Especially those trivial matters that are dealt with externally are even more difficult and cannot be let go.
It seems that it is time to go out for a while.
Ye Junsheng thought.
?Have breakfast and finished exercise. There was a sudden buzz of people outside the door, and it looked very lively.
What happened?
Today is not the announcement date, tomorrow is.
Ye Junmei went out to the yard, opened the door a crack, looked outside, and was shocked. Seeing the darkness outside, there were crowds of people, at least dozens of people. She quickly closed the door again and ran to tell her brother.
Well, what¡¯s going on?
Ye Junsheng frowned, stepped out, and opened the door.
"Wow, the door is open."
"Ye Junsheng, it is indeed Ye Junsheng."
"Yes, that's him. I saw him in Yangzhou."
The noise started, like the rising and falling of waves, and the scene suddenly exploded.
?Looking further, there are quite a few people crowded in the lanes on both sides.
Suddenly, the two sides of the crowd parted to make way, and a person was heard shouting: "Ye Junsheng. Someone is going to challenge you!"
Yang Jiangfan is impressively one of the three generations of talented people in the south of the Yangtze River. Around him, several companions cheered and supported him, adding to his momentum.
"The show is about to begin."
"It's as expected. In my opinion, it's not just Yang Jiangfan who comes, there must be others."
"Of course, when everyone learns that the most talented person in the world lives here, they naturally rush to come."
There was endless discussion. The sound was so loud that it was difficult not to hear it.
? Judging from their tone, they definitely don¡¯t come to ¡°worship¡±, but rather to watch the fun. Since ancient times, there has been no number one, and it is common for talented people to dislike each other. It's better now. Ye Junsheng actually gained the aura of being "the most talented person in the world". Even if he was bestowed upon him by the Holy Spirit, there are few people who are not convinced.
This kind of mentality started to grow crazily from the moment the talent competition ended. However, at that time, Ye Junsheng greased the soles of his feet and sailed out to sea unexpectedly, which invisibly avoided a lot of troubles. Wait for him to come to the capital quietly. He lives so secluded that no one else knows he lives here.
After that, comes the crucial and important provincial examination.
The provincial examination is the most intense. The most exciting competition. After the examination, all the scholars who were relaxed and stayed in the capital to wait for the announcement of the rankings became more bored than ever.
This is not true. When some gossip announced Ye Junsheng's residence. They suddenly felt like they were on fire, for whatever reason. Anyway, I rushed over early in the morning to see what happened.
Seeing Ye Junsheng show up, everyone was finally convinced that the news was correct.
The crowd was furious, and Ye Junsheng quickly figured out the reason. It was true that "people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong."
In the past, in the bookstore, Yang Jiangfan and Ye Junsheng had some bad relations because of the issue of "The Legend of the Monkey". Now that they meet each other, they are extremely jealous.
Yang Jiangfan sneered: "Ye Junsheng, you are so virtuous and capable. You claim to be the most talented person in the world. Do you think we are all dead?"
He has always regarded himself as an upright person and does not like to pursue fame and fortune, so he decided not to go to Yangzhou to participate in the talent competition in the world. However, now that things have happened, I feel angry and dislike Ye Junsheng, so I want to challenge Ye Junsheng to fight.
As soon as he opened his mouth, all the scholars immediately began to boo for fear of causing chaos in the world.
Ye Junsheng sneered: "Which of your ears has heard that Ye claims to be the most talented person in the world?"
Yang Jiangfan was suddenly startled: Think about it, this is true. They didn't even go to receive the plaque given by the Holy Emperor. This move spread and there was an uproar at the time. Those with a dark mind thought that Ye Junsheng was too crazy and dared to despise the face of the Holy Master. If he was not careful, he would probably provoke Long Yan into a rage. Not only could the reputation of a talented man be saved, but his property and life could not be saved.
The development of the situation behind the clinker was shocking. Emperor Hua Ming actually made no move and had no intention of asking guilt.
There was a sudden sound of drums clearing the way.
The scholars who gathered around to watch the excitement looked sideways and saw a pair of guards in bright armor approaching.
"No, are you here to arrest someone?"
"Everyone, run!"
Those who are timid may first react and think that the large number of people they have surrounded the streets has alerted the capital guards, who are about to deport and arrest them.
You must know that this is the capital at the foot of the world, how can we allow chaos.
"No, it's not."
"Don't panic, everyone."
"Hey, what are they carrying?"
I saw one of the guards carrying something. It was a long bar, about six feet long and two feet wide. It was covered with yellow silk cloth, and the things inside could not be seen. But from the appearance, it looks like a plaque.
Among the team, there was also a eunuch dressed in palace clothes walking, holding a whisk in his hand, which was particularly eye-catching.
When they came, the crowd automatically retreated and got out of the way.
Arriving at the door of the courtyard, the eunuch raised his fly whisk, glanced at Ye Junsheng standing at the door, and suddenly said with a face: "May I ask, Master, is Ye Junsheng a great talent?"
Ye Junsheng was also a little confused: "I don't dare to take it, Xiaosheng Ye Junsheng."
The eunuch chuckled and said, "It's just right. A certain family named Wei is here under the orders of the Holy One."
What, it¡¯s an imperial edict?
Many people around him suddenly fell into a state of sluggishness and confusion.
Eunuch Wei said again: "This is an oral instruction. The Holy Father specifically stated that Mr. Ye does not need to kneel down to worship. He is mainly here to deliver the plaque. If there is no problem, just accept it."
Clap your hands.
The two guards carried the long thing forward and stood still, waiting for Ye Junsheng to uncover the yellow silk cloth in person.
Sure enough.
Emperor Hua Ming compromised by using this informal method to award the plaque, somewhat unwilling to make a big deal about it. I didn't expect that so many scholar candidates would suddenly appear.
Ye Junsheng pondered for a moment, stretched out his hand and gently opened the yellow silk cloth, revealing the lineup of plaques.
This pair of plaques is made of top-shelf fragrant sandalwood. The lines and patterns are ingenious and beautiful, and you can tell at a glance that they are the work of a famous craftsman.
The central content of the plaque is five shining gold characters - real gold characters, copied with gold.
Six words.
"The most talented person in the world"
Under the reflection of the morning sun, the golden light is so bright that it dazzles people's eyes. Especially the seal in the blank area is so red that people dare not look at it.
Envy, wonder, jealousy Countless blazing eyes began to linger on the plaque, and finally, slowly, they all focused on Ye Junsheng.
Yang Jiangfan¡¯s eyes were almost bursting with fire.
