Chapter 647 Graduation Ceremony(1/2)
[Although it is more than ten minutes late, there are 5200+]
The same day, early in the morning.
"Everything has been checked? Then let it go!"
Following a shout from the flag officer leading the team, several patrolmen moved out of the way, and several riders rode out of the west corner gate of Rongguo Mansion. The leader was wearing a green official robe, his body was as long as jade, his face was like a silver basin, his eyes were
Ruo Langxing, anyone who sees him will say "what a good little official".
This person is none other than Jia Baoyu.
Rongguo Mansion has been under siege for more than half a month. Although the access control is getting looser and looser, it has not been lifted yet. Jia Zheng and others are worried about this. It coincides with the graduation ceremony of the Engineering School on the first day of June. As a rule, Jia Baoyu is also given this opportunity.
The official of the engineering school issued a notice.
Jia Zheng discussed it with Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and thought it was a good opportunity to test the situation, so he reported the matter to the City Patrol Department, and the City Patrol Department agreed after deliberation.
Hence Jia Baoyu’s trip today.
Before galloping out of the house, he originally had a look of reluctance, but when the horse rode down the street, the young man's high spirits of getting out of the prison finally got the upper hand. He clamped the horse's belly under his crotch and shouted repeatedly.
, it feels so satisfying to ride the horse and whip the whip.
He was released this time mainly because Jia Yuanchun made a comeback in the palace, and secondly because he relied on Gong Xue to sacrifice wine to burn someone's face.
Jia Baoyu also secretly explained that this person was Qin Che [Cong Qipin], the registrar of engineering studies. Although he also had the title of civil servant, he used to be the secretary of the Department of Affairs of the Ministry of Industry. Later, he was recommended by Jiao Shun and was promoted to the registrar of engineering studies.
.
Jia Baoyu took a closer look and immediately recognized the person in front of him. He couldn't help but stare and said: "You are..."
Li Guisheng was afraid that he would simply turn around and run away, so he did not dare to rush him, so he secretly called on a few boys to block the way back.
He counted them one by one with his fingers. Except for Jia Zheng, his biological father, no one close to him in the family was left behind.
He paused for a moment before speaking, then pulled off the helmet of the soldier beside him, and said: "Cover your eyes with this helmet, open the book, point at a word, and then copy it and the foreign numbers next to it.
.”
Li Gui followed closely behind, also smiling brightly. As long as his second master followed Uncle Jiao and pretended to be powerful, he could avoid a lot of embarrassment - and most importantly, he no longer had to worry about him suddenly becoming hysterical and escaping.
Although the work-study students didn't know why, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they were just asked to point out the text. At that moment, someone volunteered to take the lead, stepped forward, blindly selected a text according to Qianhu's instructions, and copied it on the white paper next to him.
.
Zhao Yan smiled contemptuously at him, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, held it carefully in his hand and said: "The so-called telegraph message is the decree sent by the Holy Emperor of Nature with the power of thunder and lightning."
What does this mean?
Although everyone did not believe that he dared to kill a court official, no fool would jump out to provoke him, so there was silence on and off the stage, with only the ticking sound of the telegraph machine remaining.
Only then did Baoyu regain his energy.
Dong Xun listened attentively and recorded groups of numbers. Then he opened the booklet and compared it. Finally, he stood up and said to the Qianhu: "The Holy Emperor ordered Chen Qianhu to send the telegram immediately."
The original was brought back to the palace for comparison."
Shi Xiangyun smiled mysteriously and said: "Second brother, there is no need to ask now. You will understand the truth by then."
Everyone on the left and right followed the same example, and soon everyone on the playground was on their knees.
Qingwen snorted and stood side by side with Cuixi behind Shi Xiangyun.
"You, you...Sister Yun?!"
"Shh~"
Jia Baoyu didn't care at first, but when he heard Li Gui mention Mingyan, his face suddenly darkened a lot.
If other princes and grandsons had gone through this, they might have developed the ambition that "a man should never lose power for a day", but Jia Baoyu's thoughts were not there.
Many people immediately recognized it as the cable that the work-study students had been ordered to lay in recent days. Because they were so impressed by the lighthouse, everyone thought it was used to light the lamp, but now they know it has another purpose.
But he said that a group of people had just arrived at the temporary viewing platform and were preparing to go to a separate seat under the guidance of a dedicated person. Suddenly they heard someone on the rostrum roaring: "What? He went to the palace to meet the saint. At this time, he went to the palace to do something."
What? Didn’t he decide the time when the ceremony would start?!"
"Also, the third sister has been very busy lately, and I can't help her much. I can only choose two lovely things for her, and do my best to be a brother."
"The master can't leave the house. As long as you don't tell me, who can know?"
Shi Xiangyun said: "But they separated halfway. They said they had to go to the palace to meet the saint first, and then come to the engineering school."
The faces of the thousands of households became solemn, and they took two steps forward and shouted: "Everyone, please be quiet. If you dare to make any noise, you will be killed immediately!"
But the telegraph was only silent for a short while, and then started ringing again.
Jia Baoyu followed the sound and saw a group of carriages slowly turning into the street. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. He urged his horse to catch up and shouted loudly: "Brother Jiao, Brother Jiao, it's me, it's me!"
"No rush."
"Have your own arrangements?"
It has to be said that in the original work, Jia Baoyu was able to gather thousands of favors. In addition to her status and skin, there were also internal reasons.
Before Qin Che could say anything, Shen Chengzhuo, the supervisor and censor on the side, said: "The auspicious time has been decided. If Mr. Jiao really can't make it in time, Chen Siye should take charge of it on his behalf."
"Just leave it to me!"
"Sister Lin is here too?"
As he spoke, he first glanced at the audience, and then looked back at the officials on the stage.
Li Gui didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and immediately rode his horse forward to block the street. He said with a bitter face: "Second Master, please spare the little one. If I really find out about this, you have an old lady. Mrs.
If you protect me, we are afraid that we will follow in Mingyan’s footsteps!”
He randomly selected a dozen people without any order, then turned back and pointed at the rostrum and said, "Everyone follow me to the stage!"
Shi Xiangyun also took Qingwen and Cuixi into the car, and the two families went to the Engineering School together as a family.
Seeing this battle, many work-study students were a little timid, but they did not dare to disobey his orders. Those who were called could only go to the podium with trepidation.
Li Guizheng secretly sighed that today is different from the past, when he saw a handsome young man with a kind face jumped out of the car, did not say a word, only waved his folding fan and smiled at Baoyu - if Baoyu was said to be a handsome young man, this one simply walked out of the painting.
The fairy boy who came out was so handsome that he transcended the category of a man.
How is that possible!
As he said that, without looking at Chen and Shen, they held up the note and said loudly: "According to your Majesty's telegram, the auspicious time has come, and the engineering graduation ceremony will be held immediately!"
Having said this, he raised his finger and pointed at Xiangyun, Daiyu and others, gritted his teeth and said: "To do such a ridiculous thing, now I have abandoned the ceremony and ran to the palace - if I miss the auspicious time, who will be responsible?
!”
But he saw Qianhu take out a booklet from his arms, put it on the desk stacked with graduation certificates with great care, and then called to the selected work-study students: "You guys come up one by one, use..."
Chen Mingju and Shen Chengzhuo exchanged glances with each other, and both felt that there was something fishy going on - could it be that the traitor had calculated the time and would come back before the ceremony was officially held?
He clapped and said: "Coming, coming!"
Jia Baoyu subconsciously looked inside the car, only to see Cuixi, dressed as a man, also getting out of the car, sticking out her tongue and making a face at him.
Zhao Yan was about to speak when he suddenly saw a group of Dragon Guards armed with live ammunition breaking into the school grounds and heading straight for the podium.
Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu couldn't help but look sideways, and saw a blue-robed official surrounded by a group of green clerks, shouting questions at an official not far away.
There were a dozen or so servants around him, but the only ones he could really remember were Li Gui and Ming Yan. Li Gui was because of his identity as the nanny brother, and Ming Yan was entirely because the two masters and servants had the most bad temper.
.
Upon hearing this, Qianhu jumped directly from the one-meter-high rostrum, walked quickly through the column of work-study students, pointed casually and said: "You, you, and you..."
Dong Xun hurried out of the queue, asked for the note from Qianhu's hand, sat in front of the telegraph machine and checked it carefully before starting to send the message.
Seeing Zhao Yan running up to the rostrum out of breath under the attention of everyone, Shen Chengzhuo immediately shouted: "Master Zhao, the Holy Spirit speaks of oral orders, and decrees speak of decrees. What is the 'edict' you just mentioned?"
meaning?"
"We are together when we go out."
But until the second and third periods of work-study students entered the venue one after another and lined up in front of the rostrum, Jiao Shun was still not there yet.
"Then there's Sister Feng..."
Li Gui gnashed his teeth after hearing this, and finally waited for a break before interrupting quickly: "My dear second master, you have to choose a time to buy these things! If you miss the engineering ceremony, go back
How to explain to the master?"
Jia Baoyu turned his horse's head half-heartedly and sighed helplessly: "It's just that you can't be free at home, but you have to be restrained by the people when you go out. So what's the difference whether you go out or not?"
"That's Siye [Sixth Grade] Chen Mingju."
"Haha~"
Everyone was waiting eagerly, but saw Dong Xun, Li Qing and others fidgeting on the rostrum for a while and then stopped, standing in front of the iron knots and making no move.
I can’t control that much anymore!
Or maybe the Jiao thief thought that flattering the emperor was the most important thing, so he neglected the engineering side.
Shen Chengzhuo followed the reputation and immediately recognized that the person was Zhao Yan, the newly appointed chief of the Miscellaneous Work Department of the Ministry of Works. Like Qin Che, this person was also a traitor who had devoted himself to being a thief.
Jiao Shun's situation in engineering and academic circles was in great difficulty. If he had been there, the imperial examination family would not have dared to act rashly. But now that he has gone to the palace inexplicably, isn't it a God-given opportunity?
