Yu Qian was raised in August, and in September, he married Dong Shi, the daughter of Dong Yong of Yongzhi County, Yongfeng County, who was married since childhood.

In the first month of marriage, regardless of the newlywed Yan'er, the Dong family took the initiative to pack his bags for Yu Qian and sent him out of the house. "The concubine can't relieve her husband's worries in terms of learning, so she can only take care of her grandfather and parents at home. Wangfujun went smoothly in the examination room and won the championship in one fell swoop. ”

Yu Qian said with a smile: "In this world, there are many heroes, and they can't win the championship in Hangzhou, let alone Quan Daming." This time I entered Beijing, but if I can successfully obtain the Jinshi background, I will not be in vain in the expectations of my father and ancestors, and I will not study hard for more than ten years in vain. Qing Niang, it's just bitter for you. From Jiangxi to Qiantang, you have just left home to get married, and you have to go out again as a husband......"

Dong looked at Yu Qian shyly and adoringly, and said softly: "The concubine is a woman, and she doesn't understand any big truths. But I also know that marrying a chicken and marrying a dog is a dog, and today I am a housewife, and I should be filial to my elders at home, so as not to let my husband worry about family affairs. ”

Yu Qian is still very satisfied with this wife. The two families are good friends, the Dong family is good-looking, virtuous and virtuous, and after marrying into the Yu family for a month, it was recognized by everyone in the Yu family.

Wang Qian, who was waiting on the side, said with a smile: "Brother Tingyi, sister-in-law is virtuous, don't worry about the family, let's set off as soon as possible." Jiaxing Du Yaozu and them, but they have been waiting for us for more than ten days......"

Wang Qian also won the move this autumn, his family was poor, and there were many people who came to vote after the lift. However, he was not greedy, and only picked a few families with income, leaving a total of less than 300 acres of land, and a large mansion.

In terms of marriage, there were many people who proposed marriage for him, but he refused them all. It was precisely because of his inferiority complex at the beginning that he was also quite arrogant, and he wanted to wait until he was admitted to the Jinshi before marrying, otherwise, he would also marry Yu Qian.

Someone moved his family to vote, and Wang Qian at this time naturally had no shortage of entanglements. If the 300 acres of land are in his name, there is no need to pay taxes, and this year's tax is not a small amount, even if Wang Qian only takes half of it, it is enough for the whole family to live better.

Yu Qian delayed the trip because of the marriage, and Wang Qian was to settle the family affairs, so the two delayed their entry into Beijing in October.

The two will travel together and will take a boat all the way from the canal to Zhenjiang and then directly to Beijing.

The two of them were not in a hurry to travel along the way, they took a boat all the way, they could review their homework on the boat, and when the boat stopped, they could enjoy the mountains and rivers and visit relatives and friends.

In Jiaxing, they joined Du Yaozu and his party in Jiaxing, and arrived at Yingtianfu on the tenth day of October.

In Qiantang, the three of them thought that Qiantang was already the land of fish and rice in the world, and the world was rich, but along the way, they found that the development of many areas was not weak in Qiantang.

Especially the closer to Yingtianfu, the more waterwheels along the river, which is different from the prosperity of Qiantang.

When the three of them arrived at the Yuejianglou Wharf, looking at the endless workshops on both sides of the strait, the students in this line were all amazed.

"This is Ying Tianfu? No wonder it's the capital, which looks much more prosperous than Qiantang......"

Wang Qianli has never been out of Qiantang, but he knows in the book that Qiantang is a prosperous place in the world, but he didn't expect that when he came to Yingtianfu and had not yet entered the city, everything in front of him was so shocking.

"Brother Tingyi...... You once said that you came to Yingtianfu when you were a child, and the two places are not equal, but this ......"

Yu Qian's eyes stared at the endless factory buildings, such as Lin's waterwheel, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "I only came once in my childhood, and at that time, I didn't think that Ying Tianfu was better than Qiantang, but ...... That's a big change. ”

Du Yao's ancestral home is Jiaxing, and he is also the son of a big family in Jiaxing.

He said at this time: "The prosperity of the Beijing division is really extraordinary. In the past, I just heard people say that Beijing was prosperous, and I didn't think so, but today I know that I am a frog at the bottom of the well. All of this is probably the credit of His Royal Highness Taisun, since the thirteenth year of Yongle, His Royal Highness has swept away obstacles, vigorously developed industry and commerce, and overseas trade, so that there is now the prosperity of Tianfu. ”

Yu Qian also responded: "It should be so, I am the same as His Royal Highness, when I was young, His Royal Highness was still young at that time, so naturally he never participated in politics, and these changes were all made after he participated in politics." ”

The group landed with a shock, and a large group of helpers and subordinates who had come to pick up the boat had gathered on the shore.

Du Yaozu's family has an industry in the capital, and several classmates who are good friends with him have already agreed to live in his house.

But on Yu Qian's side, they haven't set off from Qiantang yet, and they have actually arranged a place to live.

Today's Shangshu Fang Bin of the Ministry of War is also from Qiantang, after the original unveiling, the Fang family set up a banquet to entertain the students of Qiantang Zhongju, and everyone presented Cheng Yi, as long as they participated in the Spring Festival, they could go to Fang's house to spend the night.

In today's era, classmates, fellow villagers, and the same session are the closest relationships in officialdom.

Fang Bingui is the secretary of the military department, and he is also a big man who students want to climb high, but there is no way.

Just to get in touch with him, no one will refuse his kindness.

Du Yaozu and they had someone to pick them up, and they wanted to bring Yu Qian and their four scholars, but they met Kang Shun, a fellow student from Qiantang who had arrived in Beijing in advance, to pick them up.

Kangshun and their families have come to Yingtianfu in September, and they have been making friends in the capital and studying together. Yu Qian also wanted to ask him about the situation in the capital, so he left an address with Du Yaozu and saw him another day.

Kangshun and they came to four people, plus Yu Qian and Wang Qian, this year they have six students in Qiantang County.

After more than a month of separation, a group of friends were also very affectionate, talking and laughing, while helping the two scholars move their luggage and get out of the dock.

The square outside the wharf was full of all kinds of horse-drawn carts, ox carts, and rickshaws, and many people were pulling business.

Kang Shun called a carriage for the two scholars, Yu Qian and the two of them put all their luggage up, handed the coachman twenty copper plates and said, "Send the luggage to the right courtyard of the Taipingfang Fang Shangshu Mansion." ”

Yu Qian wanted to pay, but was stopped by Kang Shun. "Brother Ting Yixian arrived in Beijing today, and a few of us came to greet him, so naturally we want you to break the bank. Don't fight for this car money......"

After paying, he sent two more scholars into the car and said to Yu Qian: "Although Shangshu Mansion will not lack our food, but after all, it will not be big fish and meat. Let the two scholars go back first, I have already instructed my scholars to entertain them, you don't have to worry. ”

The two scholars are leaving home for the first time, and although they are very excited to come to the capital, they are about to be separated from their masters as soon as they come, and they are a little empty-hearted.

Yu Qian asked: "Wouldn't it be rude not to talk to Shangshufu when you first arrived today?" ”

Kang Shun said with a smile: "Fang Shangshu is now in the northwest, and it is not easy to disturb the relatives in Shangshu Mansion, and now there is only one housekeeper here, but we heard when we went out, and the housekeeper is also going to see the Keju Tournament today." ”

Another Qiantang student, Zhao Shucheng, took out a few bills from his arms and said with a smile: "You are lucky today, you just happened to meet the Keju Competition, and it was held in the newly built arena. It is said that His Royal Highness will also attend today, and now a high platform ticket in the capital has been sold for ten taels of silver. ”

Yu Qian didn't feel anything yet, but Wang Qian couldn't help but be speechless. Ten taels of silver, which is a rare amount for many people to save in a year, but now it is only a ticket money.

Yu Qian asked, "Didn't you say that the arena can seat 100,000 people?" Are these tickets sold? ”

"There are many rich people in this capital......

Now it's still early to eat, and the group is not in a hurry, so they found a carriage with people and looked at the scenery along the way.

Everywhere he passed, Yu Qian found that many houses had been demolished and the streets had been enlarged a lot, but many people were laying square logs on the road, and I don't know why.

Wang Gan couldn't help but ask, Zhao Shucheng said with a smile: "It is said that the imperial court now has a kind of train, which can carry hundreds of people at a time, and now Yingtianfu is digging roads everywhere to build train roads." ”

"Hundreds? Train? ”

When the two country buns arrived, they felt that their heads were not enough, what kind of car was that?

The carriage first came to the Qingliangshan Arena in Qingliangmen, which has been completed after more than half a year of construction.

In later generations, this gymnasium is simply a backward gymnasium with little decoration. But in this era, the shock of this huge building is unparalleled.

The gymnasium is not yet open to the public, but a lively market has formed in the square outside. They just looked at the gymnasium from a distance for a while, and then went to the restaurant to eat.

During the meal, Yu Qian and Wang Qian felt that they had come more than a month late, and the information they had obtained was much behind.

For example, His Royal Highness wants to take the overseas current affairs and arithmetic exam, and now there are countless books on various overseas current affairs and arithmetic professors in the capital.

For example, because there are too many students rushing to take the exam, Guozijian no longer accepts students from foreign enemies to stay. However, His Royal Highness opened the dormitory of the college he built in Xiamaqiao for students from all over the world to stay.

It is said that the students who lived in Guozijian regretted it, because the university built by His Highness in Xiamaqiao had much better accommodation conditions than Guozijian, and there were more professors who were proficient in arithmetic.

What else His Royal Highness asked Mengxue to start teaching pinyin, and was ready to open a pinyin college in Xiamaqiao, where Xiucai was willing to study, it would be taught for free, and later he would be appointed as a government-run official in various places, although it was not in the stream, but there was also a fixed amount of money every month.

These news are constantly impacting the three views of Yu Qian and Wang Gan......

After being full of wine and food, several people couldn't hold back their excitement, so they first went to the outside of the Gongyuan for a turn, and then walked to the arena where the Keju Contest was to be held.

When the meal came, there were not many people here, but when I came over at this time, it was already crowded outside the arena.

However, this arena is amazingly large, there are more than 40 entrances and exits, and although the number of people is large, it is also orderly.

Some people who did not obey the order, wanted to cut in line, and took the lead in crowding, were mercilessly twisted out by the official in charge of duty, and pressed to the ground like a stick.

Although Yu Qian and the others were excited, after seeing that those officials were lining up in order and finding the entrance of their seats, they could only follow those people to enter slowly at this time.

They climbed dozens of steps, and then were quickly blown away by what they saw.

From the outside, it was just a very tall, very large house, but standing at the entrance in the middle and watching the dense tens of thousands of people crammed into a circular slope-shaped building, everyone was shocked.

Pushed by the people behind, they quickly came to their senses and looked for their place.

Zhao Shucheng The ticket they bought was in a good position, slightly higher in the middle. The seats are made of several square strips of wood, which are fixed directly to the concrete steps by a few screws.

Wang Qian felt a little dizzy at this time, and it was really scary to sit here and look down.

He didn't dare to get up at all, for fear that his legs would suddenly weaken, so he rolled down from above.

He was embarrassed to show it at first, but when he saw many people like him, they didn't dare to move, and he realized that there were not a few people like himself, and some even couldn't help but vomit.

Yu Qian didn't feel this way, and kept looking around curiously, especially interested in the green lawn below and the patterns drawn on the lawn, including the row of rooms opposite them.

Kangshun and they don't know what these patterns are for, although there is a Keju competition in Qiantang, it is just to find an open space and start playing.

They are easy to learn and don't know much about the rules of the Keju competition.

A businessman who was obviously Ying Tianfu sitting next to them said with a sense of superiority: "Divide the stadium into two parts, the middle is the Chu River Han Boundary, there are big forbidden areas, small forbidden areas, and penalty spots on both sides, you don't even understand the rules of Keju, are you really stupid?" ”

Although the other party was slightly superior, it was not hateful to say it with a smile, and several young people did not care, and asked, "What is that row of rooms for?" ”

"Of course, that's a place for dignitaries and the emperor's family to watch the game, can't the concubines in the palace come and squeeze together with us!"

As he was talking, he suddenly saw the crowd boiling, and the sound in the field was about to burst into the sky.

Many officials were shouting, "Don't kneel today, everyone sit still." ”

Even so, many people spontaneously knelt in their seats.

They raised their eyes and saw a group of people coming in with the royal dragon flag, and this merchant from Ying Tianfu was also excited. "This is the Taisun honor guard, it is His Royal Highness the Taisun who has come down! Although I spent thirty taels of silver today, I did not lose anything. ”

Beside him sat a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, and on the other side of the boy sat an old woman who was almost sixty years old.

The old woman had been sitting there quietly, but when she heard her son say this, she immediately said to her grandson: "Bao'er, give the telescope to grandma, and grandma will see what His Highness looks like." ”

An old woman holding a telescope looks a little funny. But Yu Qian and the others couldn't wait to take a good look at the telescope at this time, and there were not many times when they could stare at the grandson and the concubine in the palace.

At this time, the old woman returned the telescope to her grandson with tears, looked at her son and said: "Today I am fortunate to see His Royal Highness the grandson with my own eyes, the old body is dead now, and I have no regrets in this life." ”

Her son smiled and said, "Mother, you see that His Royal Highness the Taisun also brought the crown princess to attend, and His Royal Highness the Taisun is also a filial son!" ”

The old woman wiped her tears and said, "His Royal Highness Taisun is naturally not a mortal, if it weren't for him, how could there be a good life for our family......"

(It's stuck, there are too many details I want to write, my mind is complicated, I am not satisfied with what I wrote today, let's start with 4,000 words, and I want to think about the plot later.) ）
