The gorgeous mansion is deserted, there are no servants who are like shuttles, and it is quiet like a deserted mansion. Lush trees grew on both sides of the road, and a little girl in an emerald green palace dress was staggering, her little face full of sadness, tears sliding down her cheeks like pearls with broken threads, and then falling to the ground and falling to pieces.

A young man in his clothes still dripping with water followed her, his steps as light as a tanuki jumping lightly among the treetops, following without the slightest sound, listening to her soft sobs and intermittent whimpering.

"Woo...... Yuzhang is a child that no one cares about, mother, where did you go? The queen mother said that you have gone far, far away, why can't Yu Zhang remember your face? The second brother doesn't hurt Yuzhang anymore! The little girl, speaking of her own thoughts, did not notice the complicated look that flashed on the face of the young man behind her.

"The queen mother and father both like Sister Changle, they say that Sister Changle is like a princess? But what does a princess look like? Do you cry in the bed every day like Sister Changle? Why does the father and the emperor dislike to laugh more and more, and why does the queen mother stop telling stories and coax Yuzhang to sleep? They said that Yu Zhang grew up and wanted to be alone, but why did Yu Zhang grow up and still couldn't find your mother? The little girl cried, telling the endless doubts that had been hidden in her heart, in her world, she still didn't know those so-called rules, even if she had been taught by countless people what to do and what not to do, but in the case that she blindly ignored it. is still the same as the original self and the true self. But her temperament makes her more and more unpopular in the endless deep palace, and most people stay away from her. This seemingly cheerful little girl is actually very withdrawn, and only here can Li Kuan relax and show her true inner laughter.

All kinds of complicated situations make this little girl extremely sensitive. A small gesture would make her feel insecure, and as she grew older in the palace, Empress Eldest Sun disciplined her strictly, and Li Er rarely even showed up. This qiē made Yu Zhang feel that he was abandoned, and remembered that when he had not moved to the inner courtyard of the palace, he couldn't help but feel more and more sad in his heart when he saw the group of 'motherless children'.

The soft place in Li Kuan's heart was touched, this little witch who had always been lawless was so sentimental, even like a puppy living on the street, wrapped her true heart under that seemingly lawless shell. Don't let anyone touch it, because if you touch it, she will get hurt.

"Yu Zhang...... What do you see this is? Li Kuan couldn't stand it after all, such a cute little Lori, but her little thoughts were full of sadness, so she interrupted Yu Zhang's crying.

"Huh?" The little girl turned around and looked at Li Kuan, who was still wet, only to see Li Kuan stretching out his hands and holding a turtle the size of a bowl in his hand. The gold lines on the back shell form a large copper coin pattern, which is a money turtle. This one is much bigger than the one given to Gao Yang just now, Yu Zhang suddenly burst into tears and laughed, he was still a child. Carry up quickly, go quickly.

After persuading Yu Zhang, Li Kuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. This little girl suddenly came like this, which really made him a little uncomfortable. The lively little girl is the cutest, even if he knows that this little girl is pretending most of the time. But here he is, he will definitely not let her wear that mask again, and be a really happy little sister from the heart.

In the days that followed, Li Kuan did not walk out of the door of his mansion, but he still felt that the atmosphere of the whole Tang Dynasty was different, because Chang'an City was gradually not so hot, the cool breath of the autumn wind blew, blowing the leaves of the trees in the courtyard, he knew that autumn was coming, at this time, a major event should also happen, Zhenguan six years, the scientific examination officially stepped on the historical stage, from the Western Han Dynasty began the promotion system, will gradually fade out of the historical stage, which is digging out the foundation of the wealthy family. But Li Kuan felt strange, because Li Er actually got the support of the vast majority of the families in the family this time, Qinghe Cui Clan, Taiyuan Wang Clan, Fanyang Lu Clan, Xingyang Zheng Clan, Boling Cui Clan, Jiangdong Pei Clan, these family members have said that the family will send outstanding children to participate in the scientific expedition.

"This is the choice of the family to enter the court again? Or is it a compromise with the imperial court? Even if they are not their fathers, they will be branded by Fang Xuanling or the eldest grandson Wuji, the two most important ministers of the father's right-hand man, so that although they represent their respective families, they also represent the interests of the royal family. Li Kuan analyzed, although he is not smart, but this scientific examination still knows a little, every year's examiner is the emperor's cronies, and under his hands, those who are admitted to the jinshi, so as to enter the officialdom, are his protégés, so that he is branded as the chief examiner, but the chief examiner has the label of the emperor, that is, no matter who these candidates are, they are all protégés of the Son of Heaven. This is also the reason why Li Er dared to say after seeing the grand state of this scientific expedition: "All the talents in the world have entered the world!" The confidence lies.

"Anyway, none of this stuff has anything to do with me, and I'm not going to take the exam anyway! I heard that the scientific examination of this era will take several days, and I am afraid of cheating, so I have to lock each candidate in a small cubicle, and I will eat and drink Lazar for three days, which is really ......" Li Kuan didn't dare to think about that picture, it was too beautiful to look at, a small cubicle of less than five square meters, and lived in it for three days, these guys are all guys with full otaku attributes.

But in any case, the scientific expedition officially began according to Li Er's wishes, in this autumn, countless readers, or by car, or carrying bookcases on foot, whether it is near Lantian, Wannian, Sanyuan and other counties around Chang'an City, or from the distant Yangzhou, Youzhou, and even Jiaozhou, Guangzhou These places have come to Chang'an to read more than they can count. At the end of the summer, the large and small hotels in Chang'an City have already lived in the students who came to catch the exam, most of these are the children of the wealthy eunuchs, none of them are the descendants of merchants, because in this era, merchants belong to the lowly family, and the ancestors have been in business for three generations, so you can't participate in this scientific examination, it's so strict.

In addition to the descendants of the eunuchs, there are more scholars from all over the world, even if they don't have the economic conditions to take a car, take a boat, they can only walk on foot, and it is still late spring when they come out of their homes, and it is early autumn when they arrive in Chang'an. But this can't stop these people who have been studying for ten years, and they used to study just to make a future, such as being a teacher in the county, or going to be a bookkeeper in those rich merchants. But now that the imperial court has opened Enke, so that these scholars from poor backgrounds have a road to heaven leading to Qingyun, how can they be willing to give up, so although this time is the first time to open the scientific examination, but the number of people involved is abnormal, countless poor scholars poured into Chang'an City, but Chang'an City is so big, where are there enough inns and hostels for these people to live, and they who were born poor do not have so much money to live here.

Therefore, Chang'an City Mansion Yin came up with a way, that is, to arrange all these poor scholars in a unified manner, and settle down in the homes of countless people in one hundred and eight squares of Chang'an City, which is also a last resort, and the people of Guanzhong are very happy that these scholars live in their own homes, because if the poor scholars who live in their own homes are admitted, it will be a matter of light lintel.

Time soon came to the time of the scientific expedition, this time although there were a large number of people, but Li Er had already ordered a matter to go down, at this time the Imperial City of Chang'an City in the west of the government workshop has been completely closed, originally lived here are some officials in the court, at this time was temporarily moved, the entire Fang City has become the venue of this scientific expedition. The soldiers stood in front of the archway of the Fang Shi in armor, inspecting the candidates who were entering the examination room in an orderly manner, and registering them.

The sun is still very hot, in this early autumn morning. Countless candidates are queuing up to enter in front of the archway of the Zhengfang, among them there are old people who are too old, and there are teenagers who are not as weak as the crown, but no one is noisy, this is the first scientific examination, this is enough to go down in history, all the candidates are excited to be able to participate in such a grand event.

A splendid carriage drawn by two horses drove from a distance, and the carriage was delicately carved with patterns, and it came this way without hurrying.

"It's the descendants of the big men of that family again, these guys who rely on the shadow of their ancestors......" A candidate muttered in a low voice, this morning, there have been several groups of such people, all of whom have cut in line and entered the examination room. For these people, all the poor candidates do not have the slightest favor. But they could only mutter a few words in private, and they didn't dare to say it, if they were hated by the children of these big families at this last moment because of such complaints, then they might not have a chance to enter the examination room again. No matter where or when this kind of thing is, as long as there is a class division, then it cannot be avoided, and the privileged class is unreasonable at all times.

The carriage stopped, and a young man dressed in light blue silk cedar got out of the carriage, with handsome eyebrows and starry eyes, his nose like a gall, his long hair tied into a knot on the top of his head, pinned by a hairpin carved with a gorgeous pattern, and soft and comfortable cowhide boots under his feet, and a young man dressed as a scholar carried a bookcase and walked towards the gate with the boy. The young man is slender and straight, his face is not happy, he looks light, and his steps are as easy as going to the suburbs.

"It's the son of the Duke of Zhao, what an amazing big man!" Suddenly, a candidate who knew this young man said the identity given to him, this guy is the eldest son of the eldest grandson of the uncle of the dynasty, and his aunt is the eldest grandson of the current queen, and she can be regarded as a relative of the emperor, compared to the previous ones who went in to be a scholar, a nephew and the like.

"What, he is Changsun Chong?" No one would think that this personable and turbid Shijia prince just now was actually the eldest grandson of the famous Chang'an family in the past. (To be continued......)
