Liu Jin took the two tigers to walk on the streets of the capital very casually, and the capital at this time was very lively.

Because a large number of factories and workshops were opened around the capital, the population of the entire capital also swelled dramatically, and the population inside and outside the capital had already exceeded two million.

Although most of the new population lives outside the capital, this does not prevent them from entering the city during the day, because the capital has become more prosperous and noisy because of the gathering of a large number of people.

On the streets of the capital, there are many kinds of shops, restaurants, teahouses, inns, etc., and the business is also extremely hot.

Because there is still a month or so to go to the triennial examination, last year's Qiu Yu was just a talent from Beizhili to take the exam, but now it is a gathering of talents from the entire Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the scholars who can see lupine scarves everywhere on the streets, compared with the talents of last autumn, these people who came to the capital to participate in the examination are all lifters.

Since it is a lifter, it enjoys many privileges, so the clothes are naturally more luxurious, and of course the talent is higher, and the nostrils are facing the sky, and the bull is humming.

Groups of three or five walked together, commenting on the bits and pieces of the capital here, pointing out the country, and from time to time there was a flash of inspiration, and they were able to chant one or two poems that were not bad.

For these bullish scholars, the people around them naturally cast envious and jealous eyes, and those who can come to participate in the examination are all lifters, all of whom have already bought the privileged class, are exempt from forced labor, exempt from taxes, and can also be officials.

If you will test the title of the gold list this year, you can still ascend to Tianzi Hall, and the future is promising, maybe it is possible that someone will be crowned a marquis in ten or twenty years.

Therefore, for these readers, ordinary people are naturally very envious, and as for some businesses and the like, they often even take this opportunity to engage in some activities and the like.

For example, some inns will hang out at this time only to receive the Beijing examination students signboard, and often give a certain discount, if someone has a gold list title, the inn will also prepare firecrackers or something, when someone reports the good news, immediately crackle to celebrate, feel more happy than their high school.

Of course, in the end, the high school students will definitely leave some ink treasures or something, so that their inn will be stained with culture, which is very beneficial to improving the forced character of their inn, and there is a reason for the price increase from now on.

Of course, not only inns, restaurants, and teahouses are the same, especially restaurants, but also need fame, and often take the opportunity to hold poetry meetings and the like, and pay to invite students to their own restaurants to chant poems, if you can produce one or two masterpieces, then the whole restaurant will become famous.

And Le is loyal to engage in kinds of activities in fact, but also Qinglou, since ancient times there are many talents, I don't know how many famous talents in history in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion left a treasure that has been passed down through the ages.

The literati are a little urine, engage in some Oiran competitions, don't look at the money and money, only look at the poetry and songs, there is no literary talent, even if it is a lot of money, it is not to think about a kiss Fangze, if the literary talent is flying, even if it is a poor scholar, it is also sweeping the bed and waiting, and welcoming each other.

For these things, those Qinglou Chu Pavilion and the like have long been clearly figured out, that is, after the later generations, this fine tradition has been lost.

"There are so many people~"

Liu Jin looked at the lively street, smiled and said to the two tigers beside him.

"There are a lot of readers, are these all here to take the exam?"

Erhu looked at the scholars on the street, and there was really a feeling that there was a reader when a brick was thrown down and smashed into ten.

"Not necessarily, some of them may be from some nearby places where people come to join in the fun."

Liu Jin smiled and shook his head and said, the triennial Luncai Ceremony, the entire Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to it, and there are many scholars here in Beizhili who will take this opportunity to come to the capital to study, in fact, the main thing is to come here to join in the fun and feel the demeanor of higher-level students.

The two walked and walked to the downstairs of a teahouse, and without entering the teahouse, they could hear the voices of a group of scholars upstairs.

"The thatched cottage will be left for future generations, and the poems will be written for a thousand years~"

"The waves are rolling outside the railing, and the heroes of the ages can't hold the big river to the east; The sun and the moon are in the window between the windows, and when you look at the four hours, you have seen the yellow crane coming west. ”

"Okay~ This is the eternal absolute, the eternal absolute, Xiao Er takes the pen, ink, paper and inkstone~"

Those who can come to participate in the examination naturally have good skills, and this pair is really deep in pairs, and one or two good pairs appear from time to time, which immediately attracts a good voice.

The whole teahouse was filled with the commotion of these students pointing out the country, so that many ordinary people in ordinary clothes were embarrassed to enter, for fear that they would disturb the Yaxing of these students.

As for the owner of the teahouse, he was happy to see this, so that Xiao Er was waiting for him at any time, and if he had a talent, he was absolutely right, and he quickly wrote it, and then immediately hung it at the door of the teahouse, so that more people could appreciate it.

"The holy land is based on Huainan, and the clouds and shadows are in the sky, and the level is the same color; The flat boat crossed the bridge, and when I heard the sound of the flute, some people blew it until the third watch of the month! ”

"Alone with plum blossoms and return to the snow, look at the mountains and dance streams~"

Liu Jin listened to the sound upstairs at this time, and at the same time took a look at the pairs hanging out of the teahouse, I have to say that the pairs that can be hung out are really good, and the level is very deep.

"Brother Jin, should we go up and have a good time?"

Erhu looked at Liu Jin and said in a low voice.

"Join in the fun?"

"Would you be right on the pair? Or do you write poetry. ”

"Let's go, let's go~"

When Liu Jin heard this, he asked the second tiger rhetorically, which made the second tiger confused all of a sudden, where did he say something wrong?

Liu Jin is the Xie Yuan of Beizhili, isn't it natural to mix with these students who went to Beijing to take the exam?

Of course he doesn't know about Liu Jin's parallel goods, such poetry clubs and the like, Liu Jin has always been able to avoid and hide, and he can't hide if he can, anyway, he has no interest in participating, after all, the points are rare, and they are consumed in order to pretend to be forced, which is really a pity.

"Knock Knock ~ Knock Knock ~"

Leaving the teahouse with Erhu, he hadn't walked a few steps to the door of an inn, only to see the children in the restaurant beating gongs and drums, which immediately attracted a large circle of people to watch the past.

"Everyone, everyone, in order to celebrate the triennial Luncai Ceremony of the Imperial Court, our store has a special upper link, all those who come out of the lower link, during the imperial examination, room and board are free!"

The owner of the inn shouted loudly to everyone with a smile on his face, and Xiao Er next to him posted a pair of couplets that had just been written.

"Free room and board?"

"There is such a good thing."

When the people around heard this, they all came to their senses, and quickly stood on their tiptoes to look at it, and those who knew how to read also read out this link.

"Shinong Industrial and Commercial Corner Micro Feather~"

When everyone heard this, they were slightly dumbfounded, this pair doesn't seem to be difficult, only seven words, you must know that in general, in order to show their own forced grid, they often make it very long, the longer the more bullish the fork, if you can make dozens of words of the upper link, but also be able to say something, absolutely full of force.

The pair of these seven words does not seem to be difficult, but there is a reader who carefully tastes a slight product, and immediately can't help but give a thumbs up and say: "This is a strange couplet, this couplet is divided into two parts, Shinong Industry and Commerce is part of the four industries, and the industrial and commercial corner Wei Yu is the last five tones, there is a word repeat, a word homonym, and the person who can produce this link is a great talent." ”

As soon as everyone listened to this reader's analysis, they suddenly realized, and they couldn't help but want to scold this innkeeper for being too chicken thief, and he had such a difficult pair, which made it clear that he didn't want people to stay for free casually.

However, for readers, the more difficult it is, the more interesting it is to study and ponder, because only in this way can they appear to be talented.

"This son's solution is good, I don't know if this son has a downlink?"

When the boss heard this, he also smiled and nodded, indicating that he had a good solution.

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I really can't think of the next link for a while."

The scholar was also frank and bluntly said that he couldn't do it.

"Everyone, everyone, who can come out of this joint, during the imperial examination, until the champion parades the street, the store is free of board, provides a first-class Tianzi room, three meals, four dishes and two soups a day, and never loses his word."

The innkeeper smiled, and then promised loudly again that in order to improve the reputation of his inn, he also took great pains to obtain this link with a specific amount of money, so as to attract attention and increase popularity.

"Interesting, is this an advertising campaign in this era?"

Witnessing everything in front of him, Liu Jin couldn't help laughing, the advertisement of this innkeeper is estimated to be spread throughout the capital soon, and as soon as the science and technology exam passes, the Daming of this inn will also spread all over Daming, and if someone comes to the capital or something in the future, it is estimated that they will think of this inn, and this business will naturally be better.

"Brother Jin, can you match this pair?"

Erhu naturally didn't understand this, so he touched his head and asked in a whisper.

"How do I know, I didn't think about it."

Liu Jin continued to walk forward, and also replied, this kind of unhelpful thing, he will not waste his brain cells, free food and lodging, he is not without a house in the capital, and the food cooked by the cook at home is not delicious, which does not have any attraction to him at all.

Walking, walking, Liu Jin took the two tigers and walked to the Moon Tower again, and looked at the Moon Tower built of cement and steel in front of him, and the all-glass window design made Liu Jin feel as if he had traveled back again.

"Let's go, go to Mochizuki Tower to taste the seafood here~"
