Chapter 342: New Scientist
This is Princess Qi?! That beauty who killed Queen Qi and entered the harem after killing Queen Qi in historical records?! As far as the appearance I saw just now, she is indeed a beauty.
In historical records, the emotional relationship between this beauty and Er Fengjun can be described as confusing. Some people say that the two hooked up before King Qi died, and some people say that Er Fengjun later robbed her into the palace! What is the truth, you can't pull Er Fengjun or Princess Qi to ask. The secrets of history can only be hidden in the untold truth.
Xue Lang diverged his thoughts in his heart, and he had seen Princess Qi according to Li. Princess Qi has a beautiful appearance, a tranquil expression, and a sven indifferent temperament, although she is smiling, she is not enthusiastic. Think of the grumpy Lee Won-gil...... These two people are not all the way at all, so it's no wonder they can't get together. Of course, this speculation can only be kept in the heart, and it is impossible to ask.
Princess Qi said: "I see that Sister Pingyang's obstacle is already ahead, Xue Yuma, don't pass by." ”
"Princess Qi, let's go."
Only Princess Qi did not see Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, thinking that King Qi should have entered the palace with the prince, the prince must come with the sage, and there is still time to go shopping!
Xue Lang walked a little farther away with Chang Jian, the guards were scattered in the crowd, and they didn't follow closely, Chang Jian followed behind him with the box on his back, and followed suit.
Xue Lang looked at today's Furong Garden, there were not only many women, but also many young men, but he didn't know where Su Han was, otherwise before the arrival of the saint, he could go and have a good time, maybe he could get a glimpse of the appearance of Su Han's sweetheart. Anyway, he's quite curious.
Walking a little farther, the cloth used by pedestrians and barriers is not as good as the cloth used by the barrier set at the water's edge, it is much more ordinary, and there are mostly ordinary official and noble barriers here. Farther on, there were many young men wrapped in curtains, still wearing sackcloth clothes, all of them looking elated and in high spirits.
Further on was the grove, with many colorful skirts hanging, and there were evidently many women there. Xue Lang was embarrassed to go any further, so he sat down on a vacant grass nearby, intending to watch how the commoners of the Tang Dynasty lived the festival.
“…… Brother Zhou, I don't know how many places did you vote in the paper before the test? ”
"But all the officials who can be called have voted. Brother Xu, what about you? ”
There were several men sitting around not far from Xue Lang, the older one was nearly thirty years old, and the younger one was in his twenties. The imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty were held in February, and the beginning of March was the time for the release of the rankings.
Xue Lang's talent is limited, and the matter of the imperial examination naturally has nothing to do with him. He was a newcomer, and although he had a knighthood, his merits and talents were not shown in front of others, and the scholars who did not participate in the imperial examination gave him a scroll. At this time, listening to these scholars talk, there is a sense of freshness-
Dealing with a group of people older than him every day, I almost forget that he is actually still the age of Xiao Xianrou! Xue Lang sighed silently in his heart.
"Dalang, but you want to drink water?"
Xue Lang nodded. Changjian took out the thermos pot from the bookcase, unscrewed the lid, and poured a lid of hot water for Xue Lang. Xue Lang took it and drank it slowly, listening to the discussion of the scholars beside him.
"I heard that Brother Zhou's poems have been praised by Prince Zhongyun, and such an encounter is not enviable."
"Why should Brother Xu be envious? I heard that you have invested in the book of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Pei Ju, Pei Shangshu's house, and you have also received praise! Why envy me? ”
Two young men who were full of ambition laughed and complimented each other. On the other hand, there was a person sitting on the side who only cared about eating and drinking, and he interjected: "I heard that Brother Zhou was born in an ordinary gentry family? ”
The young man called Brother Zhou had a happy look on his face, and said, "Zhou's background is not high, what is Brother Lin's opinion?" ”
The man called Brother Lin put down his chopsticks and said, "I don't have any opinions, it's just that I have some shallow experience that I want to know with Brother Zhou." ”
Brother Zhou glanced at him coldly, and said sarcastically: "I don't know what Brother Lin's opinion is?" Zhou is waiting to teach! ”
Brother Lin was not annoyed by the sarcasm, and said: "I just heard that Brother Zhou's book is deeply appreciated by the prince Zhongyun, this is a happy event, but it is limited to Brother Zhou's background, and I thought that Brother Zhou would inevitably be happy." ”
Brother Zhou glared at Brother Lin and said coldly: "Brother Lin, a manly man should be broad-minded, jealous of such a villain's heart, it is not a gentleman!" ”
Brother Lin said: "Brother Zhou misunderstood! A certain talent, admiring Brother Zhou's talent, and going through several imperial examinations, in the situation in Chang'an City, he is a little more familiar than Brother Zhou. With Brother Zhou's background, it's better not to go to this East Palace! ”
"Why did Brother Lin say this?"
"The prince is surrounded by children of the family, where is there a place for me and other poor scholars to stand! Ten years of hard work, I don't want Brother Zhou to waste his time. ”
Brother Zhou frowned, thought about it, and said hesitantly: "Brother Lin doesn't know, I have a cousin who is from Hedong, when the prince lived in Hedong, the name of Corporal Lixian resounded in Hedong, but the elders with one skill can enter the mansion, and the name of Renxia resounded in Hedong." Such a virtuous corporal...... Also accountant more background? ”
Brother Lin smiled and said, "This time and that time!" The prince was still not the prince when he lived in Hedong, can Brother Zhou know it? ”
Brother Zhou was speechless for a while. Brother Lin sighed and said, "Lin is presumptuous, and he will talk deeply, and I will think twice about Brother Zhou." Besides, it's not early, and I have received a lot of posts recently, so I should go to the banquet. Leave! There will be a period later! ”
The scholar surnamed Lin got up and went to the banquet with his personal scholar-
These famous scholars on the list, many of them are invited, and when there is a good evaluation of the line, it is even more that every family is vying for invitations, and the famous scholars can have a large stack of invitations on the day of the Shangsi Festival, and they can make these scholars busy and dizzy just by rushing to the banquet.
Especially for single scholars who have not yet married a wife, there are unmarried little ladies in Chang'an City, and they are more willing to invite them to choose a son-in-law for the little ladies in the family. Because of this, the Shangsi Festival is also jokingly called the Blind Date Festival, which is simply the ancient day of getting off the list.
Speaking of which, I don't know if in the poem written by Meng Jiao "The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day", does this Chang'an flower refer to a person or a plant?
Xue Lang was made to laugh secretly by his own brain hole. And when several scholars were told by the scholar surnamed Lin, they lost the interest in chatting and praising each other, and they all got up together, and each went to the banquet with the invitation they received.
Xue Lang drank the hot water in the lid of the cup, handed the lid to Changjian and put it away, and looked at the backs of a few distant scholars-
These scholars still have time to chat and praise each other, obviously, they are not outstanding in this imperial examination, otherwise, they will be busy to death when they go to the banquet, where is there still room to pretend to be forced.
However, the scholar surnamed Lin is a talent, and he can learn how to not talk about it, just this vision is good. Xue Lang silently remembered his appearance.
"Da Lang, the little one saw the saint's guard of honor coming."
Changjian reminded in a low voice. Xue Lang stood up: "Let's go, go to the feast of the saints!" ”
