is followed by the hand-picked No. 2 and Tan Hua. From the Golden Throne Hall to the palace gate, they have to pass through Taihe Gate, Meridian Gate, Duanmen, and Chengtian Gate, and finally arrive at the gate of the palace.

There were crowds of people watching the fun along the way, and there were crowds of people everywhere. The teahouses and restaurants on both sides, good locations were reserved by the dignitaries and nobles of the various prefectures. Lang style.

Xiao Chenrui won the champion at a young age, and for a while he became the best candidate for the noble daughters of the capital to choose their son-in-law.

After the young ladies of each family saw the champion of the first prize, some noble ladies covered their mouths and screamed, some had a heart like a deer, some blushed, and some were dumbfounded. , all kinds of purses and fragrant flowers were thrown at Xiao Chenrui.

The second place in the list is a middle-aged uncle in his thirties. This is the third time he has participated in the conference. He finally got his wish, and the third man behind it is Zhou Zheng, who is not too old. Many purses and fragrant flowers fell on him.

After walking around the street, when Xiao Chenrui returned to Xiao's house, there were still people and neighbors who were celebrating in front of the gate of Xiao's house, followed by a compliment.

The old lady of the Ji family next door smiled and looked at the old lady Xiao, who was standing at the gate of the mansion to welcome her grandson: "Before, I learned about Yuan, you said that Chen Rui is going to prepare for the palace exam, and he is not going to hold a banquet for the time being. This time, he is the champion of high school, so he can't pay it back. Is there a reason?"

Mrs. Xiao heard this: "How can you, Xiao's house will start a three-day running water banquet tomorrow, and the neighbors are welcome to come and have a fun."

Yun Yi had discussed this matter with the Xiao family before. Even if he couldn't reach the rank of jinshi, as long as he was granted a jinshi background or a jinshi background, it would be a matter of honoring the lintel of Xiao's family, and he should be thankful for God's grace, so Mr. Xiao What people say is quite plausible.

Xiao Chenrui and Daoxi's people chatted for a while before entering the mansion.

The wedding candy and the copper plate were prepared before. As for the cakes added later, Mrs. Xiao asked the mansion to prepare it in the morning, and it came in handy at this time.

Soon Steward Zhao ordered the servants in the house to get busy, and notified Zhuangzi to deliver enough ingredients to the house tomorrow morning, and sent people out to buy things in advance.

Now there is no shortage of money in the house, and Mrs. Xiao is still looking forward to being decent. This is the most glamorous thing the Xiao family has done in a hundred years.

Juxiangyuan's cook, on the day of the Flowing Water Banquet, arrived at Xiao's house before dawn to start preparations.

Xiao's house was full of joy. The dignitaries and nobles in the capital sent people to extend their olive branches. Coupled with the existence of the general's house, it can be said that on the first day of the Flowing Water Banquet, there was a lot of traffic and people in front of the gate of Xiao's house.

Fortunately, Xiao Chenrui sent his servants to maintain order. While congratulating, many people revealed that they wanted to marry.

Old Madam Xiao almost floated away after being complimented, but fortunately there was Yunyi's euphemistic greeting, so she didn't get dizzy.

The female family was hosted by the old lady of the Xiao family and Yunyi together, and the male guests were hosted by Jing Rui and Xiao Chenrui. After this day, their faces would freeze with laughter.

After the guests were finally sent away, several people took the gift account sorted by the housekeeper and looked at it.

Yun Yi smiled after seeing it: "This is really a way to make money. If you want to be rich, you should be promoted to a banquet and receive gifts."

Jing Rui looked at the little woman's expression and couldn't help laughing. The congratulatory gifts sent by the people who came to congratulate him today were indeed unusual. The treasury of Xiao's mansion suddenly filled up, which was better than the Xiao's mansion before exile.

In the next two days, the identities of those who came to congratulate were not as valuable as they were on the first day, and most of them were officials from small wealthy families and low-rank officials.

After three days, the flowing water mats at the street corners fed the bolder people in the slums and beggars everywhere!

After    three days of running water, the Xiao residence returned to calm, and Mrs. Xiao once again mentioned the matter of moving the grave for Xiao Huaiyuan.

Xiao Chenrui first reported to the Hanlin Academy, then explained the situation to the Director and asked for leave.
