After eating and drinking, Li Yaowei led Xiaoxuan to wander around the streets of Chang'an City, feel the customs here, and feel the cultural atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty up close.

Li Fang is the planning system of the city in ancient times, and the straight vertical and horizontal streets divide the whole city into more than 100 squares, as a residential area for the common people, similar to today's residential areas. Inside the workshop are the houses of the people.

Each of them has a high-walled gate, a curfew is enforced, and any commercial activities are prohibited, so even in the daytime, there is no lively atmosphere in the village, which is an inhumane place of the system in the village.

Li Yaowei suddenly thought that the fifth family lived in the entire Lifang, which was worthy of being a local tyrant.

The people who go to the east and west markets to shop go out and return home, come and go, and the atmosphere of life is not much different from that of modern times; Looking through the gate, in the neighborhood of the square, several old people were under the willow trees outside the door, shaking grass fans and chattering.

The children frolicked under the supervision of their elders......

"Uncle, there are a lot of people in front." Turning the corner, Xiao Xuan saw a lot of people surrounding in front of her.

Li Yaowei became interested, "Go over and take a look." ”

"Today, a girl and a son are learning, how many people and how many times is he coming?" I saw that the door of the workshop was there, and there was a list and two plaques, and these two sentences were written on the plaques.

"What does that mean?" This is the question that everyone has.

"It is written here that the little girl is to be married, and she will recruit her relatives with a text, and the question on the plaque can be entered if she answers correctly."

Recruiting relatives? Everyone was in high spirits.

"What does that mean?"

"Does a scholar mean to be an official?"

"Probably right?"

……

Everyone gathered around and discussed, but there was no conclusion.

Li Yaoyu asked Xiaoxuan, "There is no imperial examination now, right?" "Whether the imperial examination system originated in the Sui or Tang dynasties has been controversial in academic circles. Xiao Xuan also shook her head, "I heard the old man say that there was one in the previous dynasty, but not now." ”

"Brother Chen, are you here too?" A young man in a Confucian costume with a feather fan in his hand walked over, and the man who was standing there saw it and made a gesture.

"Well, I heard that Lord Du's daughter is recruiting a son-in-law with a text, so I came to see it."

The crowd of onlookers spotted the two of them, "Is it Chen Gongzi?" ”

"And Cheng Gongzi."

"Xiaoxuan, who are they?"

After Xiao Xuan saw it, "In the name of Chen Gongzi, he is the son-in-law of a six-rank official in the imperial court. Cheng Gongzi's name is Daolin, and his father is also a six-rank official, so I don't know what kind of official it is. ”

"I found you to be really an encyclopedia."

"Huh? What did my uncle say? "Xiaoxuan doesn't understand what an encyclopedia is.

……

"I'll answer." Chen Yi stepped forward, "The answer is two people, coming year." ”

In ancient times, it was not easy for a woman to become an official. Chen Yi said a nice word, and replied that the two of them could enter the Shi.

"yes, why didn't I think of it next year?" Someone repented. In the coming year, it will be the future anyway, and you will be as long as you love Jinshi.

"Brother Chen is really smart." Cheng Daolin praised.

Chen Yi stood proudly in front of everyone, full of confidence.

"Wrong answer!" Someone went in to report it, and the results came.

Chen Yi was slapped in the face, the contrast between Fang Cai's arrogance and his current blush is very big, Li Yaowei couldn't help but shake his head and smile, how could the answer be so direct, do you really think that people are giving away their daughters for nothing?

Xiao Xuan saw Li Yaowei laughing at Chen Yi, thinking that her uncle might know the answer, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, do you know the answer?" ”

"Yes."

"Then why don't you answer?"

Li Yaoji glanced at her: "Do you want me to marry someone else?" ”

Xiao Xuan thought that this was the scene of recruiting relatives, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue, "I don't want to ......"

This girl is much cuter than Fifth Yao. Li Yaowei thought.

……

"I answer, two, come to Japan."

"Wrong answer!"

"One person, next year!"

"The answer is incorrect."

……

Attempts were made to answer this general answer, but it was all wrong.

"Two of you, next year!"

"Wrong answer!"

……

But no matter what year they are exact, they are the wrong answers.

"What the hell is this?" Some scholars pondered and pondered, but they couldn't figure it out.

"Isn't it because you want us to tell the fortunes of his children?"

Chen Yi and Cheng Daolin also frowned.

"Zhang Gongzi?" A man with an even more proud expression walked in the company of the scholar.

"Xiaosheng Zhang Wencai, answer, two of them, the third day of June next year." Zhang Wencai shook the folding fan lightly, like Chen Yi, and waited for the result with confidence. It's just that the result also made him laugh generously, "The answer is wrong." ”

"How is that possible? On the third day of June next year, the Tai Bai Xing will travel to the noon position in the south, which is the day of great luck! Zhang Wencai roared in a low voice.

The family at the door ignored him completely, and Ma Wencai retreated stupidly.

"Uncle, what's the answer?" Xiaoxuan asked in a low voice. She also wanted to know what the answer to that question was.

"Four, October 10."

"How do you tell?" Xiao Xuan couldn't understand this answer and couldn't help but ask.

"It's simple." Li Yaowei smiled and shook his head, the word "today" and the word "he" all contain a person, and a son and a daughter add up, there are four people, and the word "chao" is October 10, and it is just a charade.

"Simple?" Although the voices of the two were small, they were still heard. "Does this brother know the answer?"

When Ma Wencai, Chen Yi and the others heard this person's exclamation, they all turned their eyes and looked at them in surprise.

The corners of Li Yaoji's mouth twitched, "I'm sorry, I don't know." "It's the most boring thing to recruit relatives, if everyone is beautiful, are you afraid that you won't be able to get married? Therefore, those who want to recruit relatives are basically those who are so ugly that no one wants, or the elders are above the top, or they are notorious, such as Fifth Yao. But either way, Li Yaojian was not very interested. Simply deny it.

"But why did Childe just say it simply."

"I said hard, you heard me wrong."

"Hmph, I'll just say, how can such a nameless person know." Ma Wencai was arrogant and arrogant, and his tone was even more unkind.

"That's also, neither Ma Gongzi nor Chen Gongzi knows, how can this person know."

……

There were people at the scene who knew their family backgrounds and flattered them.

When Xiao Xuan heard that her aunt was being ridiculed, she was immediately upset, and shouted to the guards at the gate of the fang, "The answer is four people, October 10." ”

"Haha, four? What is the answer to this? ”

"No, don't come out and be embarrassed!" Marven mocked, "How can there be four people with one son and one daughter?" ”

"That's right, I want to show off in front of Ma Gongzi, but I answer so stupidly!"

……

"Correct! My young lady invited the two of them into the house for a talk. A maid from the house came out and opened her mouth to make the audience dumbfounded. Did he get it right? How did these four people come about?

"Could it be that he is one of them?" Someone has a guess in his heart.

"That's not right."

When Xiao Xuan heard the correct result, she immediately jumped up, "That's right, uncle, you're amazing!" ”

"Uncle?"

Everyone at the scene looked very strange, big brother, you are all married, why are you still here to recruit relatives?

[ps: The imperial examination was there during the Li Yuan period, and here it has been slightly modified for the sake of the plot]
