After settling the official.
He Kun and Cao Rui went downstairs together. Sure enough, there was already a tall horse with a big red flower on its head waiting at the entrance of the Guest House.
"Do I really have to wear this?"
He Kun took the red flower that the official handed over from the tray. It was like a groom welcoming a bride. He asked the official beside him with some uncertainty.
"That's right, the top scholar.”
The minor official replied with a serious expression.
"Can I not wear it?"
He Kun asked with a bitter face.
He felt that it was shameful enough to ride a tall horse with a big red flower on it and walk through the streets of the Imperial City.
He did not expect that he would need to wear one himself.
"No."
The minor official didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Other scholars were eager to become the top scorer, then wear the top scorer's uniform, wear a big red flower, ride a tall horse, and walk through the streets of the entire capital. They wished they could parade on the streets for ten days and eight days to get their fill of attention at once. Who knew that the top scorer in front of them looked a little unwilling?
"Alright then!"
He Kun had no choice but to wear the big red flower. With the help of these minor officials, he rode on the champion's horse.
To be honest, He Kun had never ridden a horse before he transmigrated, and He Kun himself had never ridden a horse before. Fortunately, the champion horse had stirrups and saddles. As long as he stepped on the stirrups with both feet, clamped the horse's abdomen with both legs, and held the saddle with both hands, even He Kun, who did not know how to ride a horse, could barely ride steadily and not fall off.
"Let's go! Brother Cao."
The speed of the scholar's horse wasn't very fast. The reason why it was parading through the streets was that the imperial court wanted to let the people of Fengyu know the benefits and glory of being the scholar, so as to stimulate those ordinary scholars to work hard.
"Alright, Brother He!"
Cao Rui was extremely excited. Although he was not the top scorer himself, he was satisfied to be able to parade with a real top scorer.
As for the minor official who was leading the way, he picked up the gong and gong hammer on the tray and walked in front. He struck the gong rhythmically and loudly from time to time, shouting,""The top scorer is out on a tour, please leave!"
The people on both sides of the street, as well as the guests in the inns, restaurants, and restaurants, walked out and stood on both sides of the street to admire He Kun's demeanor as the top scholar.
Wherever He Kun passed, the streets were surrounded by pedestrians.
Some people really couldn't find their seats. They could only stick their heads out of the windows of the restaurants on both sides of the street and shout,""Top scholar! Top scholar!"
The scene was so crazy that it was comparable to the fans on Earth.
"He Kun!"
"He Kun!"
On the streets and in the windows on the second floor, there were even many young girls who looked to be around 16 years old waving their scarves and shouting He Kun's name.
Don't think that this is too exaggerated. In ancient times, the appearance of a top scholar proved that a poor family's son had made a fortune.
The imperial examination was the only way for many poor children to stand out. In the eyes of many ordinary people, the top scorer was a myth. Many people even believed that the top scorer was the reincarnation of a literary star.
With He Kun's family background, although he was not considered a poor family, he was the top scholar, which proved that he was going to make a fortune.
If He Kun were to look for a wife now, there would probably be countless beautiful girls who would cry and fight to marry He Kun.
Even if he was looking for a concubine, there were countless ordinary families who would be eager to marry their daughters to He Kun as concubines.
After walking for some distance, they met up with the second place and the flower.
These two people didn't know Kun at all. It was said that they were called Bai Shengjie and Luo Xi respectively, and their hometown was Zhili and Shandong.
Although these two people were the second place and the flower, even if they joined the parade, the attention of the people around the street was almost all on He Kun. Most of them called He Kun's name and ignored them.
Seeing that they were being ignored, a trace of coldness appeared in their eyes.
Not long after, they looked at Xiang Hekun with pure jealousy.
He Kun also noticed the jealousy in the eyes of the second place and Tanhua, but he ignored it.
"Stop!"
After walking for about half a street, He Kun suddenly waved his hand.
Hearing He Kun say stop, the entire parade, which had about 40 to 50 people, immediately stopped.
Seeing He Kun stop, the small official who was in charge of reporting the good news ran over and asked,""What's the matter, Top Scholar?"
"Help me down!" He Kun said.
The minor official was filled with doubt as he helped He Kun off his horse.
"Brother Cao, sit on it now."
After getting off his horse, he faced Kun. Although he was walking side by side with him, he did not ride a horse. He looked like Cao Ruidao, who was riding with Kun.
"Brother He, this is your champion horse. It's not good for me to ride it, right?”
He Kun's words gave Cao Rui a fright and he hurriedly refused.
"What's not good about it? If I tell you to ride, you ride."
He Kun glared at Cao Rui.
Under He Kun's insistence, Cao Rui had no choice but to ride on it.
Seeing that Cao Rui was really riding on the champion's horse, the minor official said awkwardly,""Top scholar, this is against the rules!”
Who knew that He Kun would say,"What's against the rules?" I don't know how to ride a horse. The saddle just now scratched my butt. Can't I let my brother ride this champion's horse?”
"On the way to Shangjing for the exam, I encountered bandits and all my money was stolen by them. It was Brother Cao who paid for my accommodation, meals, and expenses in the capital. I got the top scorer, can't I let him ride my top scorer horse for a while?”
He Kun's question left the small official speechless. If what He Kun said was true, He Kun had encountered bandits on his way to the capital to take the examination. His travel expenses and silver had been robbed, and all the expenses for the examination were paid by this fatty.
Then this fatty's kindness to the top scorer was definitely not inferior to the kindness of rebirth. It was as if it was nothing for the top scorer to let the fatty ride his top scorer horse!
Left with no choice, the minor official could only return to his post.
The parade continued, but in the streets and alleys of the Imperial City, this scene took place. A fatty wearing a Confucian robe, whose name was unknown, was riding on the top scholar's horse that only the top scholars should ride.
Dressed in a red egret top scholar robe, a pearl-winged crown on his head, and a red flower on his chest, the top scholar walked beside the top scholar's horse like a horse groom.
Just as everyone was confused, the commoners who had just heard He Kun's words spread the news.
Not long after, this news spread throughout the Imperial Capital.
