On the fifth day of the eighth year of Qiande, the sky will break.

At the gate of Xingwenfang, a team of nearly 100 people has been prepared and ready to set off at any time.

Under the big tree at the entrance of Xingwenfang, a beautiful girl handed a cloth bag to the young man, her face was a little sentimental, she held back her tears, and said in a low voice: "San Lang, this is a set of winter clothes I sewed for you these days, and now it's cold, you wear it on the road." ”

She handed over the burden and couldn't hold back her tears.

"You...... Come back early. ”

At this time, Lin Zhao's parents were nearby to see each other, he was not too embarrassed to be close to Xie Yuran in front of people, so he pulled her aside, smiled and comforted: "Sister don't be sad, I'm going to Chang'an, not to die, if my sister really misses me, you can also go to Chang'an to see me, right?" ”

Xie Yuran wiped his tears, looked up at Lin Zhao, and lowered his head again: "I'm a woman, where is there a way to go to Chang'an City?" ”

"Why not?"

Lin Zhao smiled and said: "I left two or three trades for Uncle Xie, any of these trades can be done in Chang'an City if they become bigger, maybe next year, my father-in-law will be able to spread the three-yuan book to Chang'an City, and then Sister Xie, you can go to Chang'an with him." ”

"You're going to coax people."

Xie Yuran snorted lightly: "My father has been doing business for more than ten years, and he hasn't made the business in Yuezhou, how can it be so easy to do the business in Chang'an?" ”

In this era, the transportation is inconvenient, and the businessmen do business, generally within a state and a county, and it is difficult to expand the business, but anyone who can do business in Chang'an from the local level is all rich businessmen, and there are generally some relationships in the court behind them.

Lin Saburo's face was serious, and he said with a serious face: "When did I lie to my sister?" ”

Xie Xianran didn't believe it, but she had secretly memorized Lin Zhao's words in her heart, and after hearing this, she nodded silently: "Okay, I'll go to Chang'an to find you as soon as possible......"

A little couple talked for a while on the side, and the horse team over there was already ready to leave, and in desperation, Lin Zhao could only wave goodbye to Xie Xianran, and then walked to his parents, knelt down and kowtowed to his parents: "Father and mother, my son is going to go far away, and the second elder Wanwang must take care of his body in his hometown, and when his son comes back, he will be filial to the second elder." ”

Lin Qingyuan and Lin Erniang hurriedly helped Lin Zhao up, and Lin Qingyuan said: "My son is in Chang'an, you must be cautious, don't make trouble for your seventh uncle." ”

At this time, Lin Qingyuan looked at his son's eyes with envy.

The reason is very simple, there are a total of Guozixue, Taixue, four studies, as well as law, arithmetic, and calligraphy, which can be understood as a total of six schools, and the last three of these six schools are considered to cultivate professionals, and the first three schools, including Taixue, are dedicated to cultivating Jinshi!

In other words, it is specialized in cultivating scientific research talents.

Every year, Guozijian will select a group of students from the top three schools and recommend them to the Ministry of Rites, and these students can directly participate in the scientific examination without any merit, and go directly to the Jinshi examination!

That is to say, the identity of the student is almost equivalent to a meritorious person, of course, if you don't try for a long time, you will be kicked out of the country, and then there will be a gap with ordinary people.

When the Great Zhou Dynasty was just founded, almost all the Jinshi came from the Guozijian, and later with the rise of local articles, to the present day, the number of Jinshi in each subject, the Guozijian can only account for about 30%, which is not as good as the early years of the Dynasty.

Like Lin Jian, he was born in Shigu Academy and is a student of a local academy.

But even so, the identity of the student is still popular, after all, the number of people recommended by Guozijian to the Ministry of Rites every year is not much less than the number of people who enter Beijing to take the exam.

This is also the reason why the Lin family is so jealous of these national prison places.

Lin Erniang pulled Lin Zhao's sleeve, lowered her head and patted the dust on his knees, and said softly: "Zhao'er, according to the rules, if you enter Taixue for three years, you should have a chance to take a scientific examination. ”

To this day, Lin Erniang still remembers fame.

Lin Zhao nodded again and again, he was about to say a few more words to his parents, the handlebar style of the horse team over there had already flicked the whip, Lin Zhao hurriedly said hello to his parents, and hurried away.

Lin Zhao's parents and the Xie family sent Lin Zhao all the way to the city gate.

Everyone parted at the gate of the city, and Lin Zhao followed the horse team on foot, looking back at Yuezhou City from time to time.

He grew up here since he was a child, and he hasn't left for more than ten years, and he left suddenly, even if he is a human being in two lives, he is quite reluctant in his heart.

After walking for four or five miles, Lin Yuanda, who was sitting in a carriage, lifted the curtain, beckoned to Lin Zhao, and said with a smile: "San Lang, get in the car." ”

Lin Zhao responded, and climbed into Lin Jian's carriage very quickly.

This is more than 2,000 miles to Chang'an, and it is naturally impossible for him to walk all the way through with his feet.

Seeing him get into Lin Zhao's carriage, the other two lucky Lin family children in the horse team had a somewhat complicated look.

At this time, they became more and more convinced of the rumors circulating within the Lin family.

Lin Jian's carriage was quite spacious, and after entering, Lin Zhao saluted Lin Jian, sat opposite Lin Jian, and asked, "Seventh Uncle, how long will it take for us to get to Chang'an?" ”

Lin Jian thought for a while and replied, "Go faster, you should be able to get to Chang'an in February." ”

That is, less than a month.

Lin Sanlang nodded, smiled at Lin Jian and said, "I have nothing to do along the way, Uncle Seventh will tell me what the situation is in Chang'an City." ”

The young man blinked his innocent eyes and asked in a low voice, "That...... Kang Guifei, is she good-looking? ”

Lin Zhao has wanted to ask this question for a long time.

Not only Lin Zhao wants to ask, but in the entire Great Zhou, I am afraid that the vast majority of people want to ask this question, after all, a woman who has been favored by Emperor Lao Tzu for more than ten years, everyone in the world wants to know how to fall into the country.

Hearing this question, Lin Jian's face darkened, and he already regretted calling Lin Zhao into the carriage.

He coughed, frowned, and said, "Don't talk about you behind your back." ”

Lin Zhao sat closer and asked in a low voice, "Concubine Kang is not a king......?"

"The king's concubine will not be successful."

Lin Jian said: "When you arrive at Chang'an High School and enter the palace for a banquet, you may have a chance to see it." ”

Seeing that Lin Jian refused to answer, Lin Zhao also lost interest in asking, he sat opposite Lin Jian and muttered in a low voice: "If you want me to say, this Concubine Kang may not be so good-looking." ”

Lin Jian glanced at his detached nephew, and said with a smile: "How can you see it? ”

"I guessed it myself."

Lin Zhao looked left and right, then lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "I think no matter how good-looking Concubine Kang is, the saint will not be spoiled to this extent, let the Kang family not talk about bringing troops outside, and even let the Kang family intervene in the appointment of local officials......"

Yang Pu, the former governor of Yuezhou, did a good job, but he was inexplicably teased and replaced by Cheng Jingzong, just one thing, it can be seen that the influence of the Kang family in the court is not small.

If it is a civil official like Lin Jian, it is not particularly unusual to have this kind of influence, but the problem is that Kang Dongping, as a military general, can still have this kind of influence in the court, which is very strange.

This is far beyond the influence that a beautiful woman can create, if the current power of the Kang family is really simply because of that Kang Guifei. ……

The Son of Heaven on the throne now is a big fool!

"It's not easy for you to think of these things at such a young age."

Lin Yuanda half-squinted his eyes and sighed slightly.

"The water in Chang'an City is very turbid."

Lin Jian asked with a smile: "Seventh Uncle, are there many good-looking girls in Chang'an City?" ”

Yuan Dagong frowned: "You kid is just engaged, why do you ask this?" ”

Lin Saburo blinked his eyes with an innocent expression.

"There are more good-looking girls, and they can also be pleasing to the eye, isn't it ......"

The taste of parting is always unpleasant.
