This year's Spring Festival is scheduled to be held on the ninth day of February at the Ministry of Rites Tribute Academy, and the chief examiner is Da Xixun, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

is not far from the Spring Exam, and Li Ang's moves have also entered the final sprint stage.

The spring sun is warm, the breeze is smooth, Li Ang and a few people sit in the open fence on the second floor, cooking wine and pouring light, reading and communicating, Li Ang's current kung fu is mostly on the "Book of Rites" and "Zuo Chuan".

Among them, the "Book of Rites" is limited, but it is the most important, because most of the questions in the Tang Dynasty's Ministry of Rites are from the "Book of Rites", and after a few months, Li Ang can already recite the full text and analyze its meaning.

Tang Yu also said: "I have always attached the most importance to the "Book of Rites" in the imperial examination, Kong Yingda Confucius once said: If the eyes of the five beginnings of the husband are manifested in the Emperor Xuan, the way of the Six Classics, and the light is in the "Book of Rites". Since then, the Book of Rites has become one of the most important contents of the Ministry of Rites Examination. Historically, most of the test questions have come from the "Book of Rites". ”

Li Ang once analyzed Nangong Ziyan that although the content of "The Book of Rites" is not as systematic as "Etiquette" and "Zhou Li", the content is relatively complicated. The reason why the imperial court attaches so much importance to the "Book of Rites" is mainly because it does not only talk about some specific forms of etiquette;

More importantly, there are many Confucian philosophies of life, educational concepts, music theories, ideas for the state and social system, and various specific etiquette in the Book of Rites.

Through these contents, the idea of unilateral and ritual system of various ceremonies was elaborated, and the Confucian concept of etiquette was profoundly propagated, which played a very important role in strengthening the monarch's rule and promoting social stability.

Wei Ruliang is also talking about his experience: "Among the nine classics, there are difficulties and easy, complex and simple. Now that spring is approaching, it can be based on the difficulty of the Nine Classics. Combined with the importance attached to the various scriptures by the previous spring festivals of the imperial court, it became easy to take refuge. Focus on studying, if the nine classics are all strengthened, I am afraid that the strength will not be the first. ”

In this regard, Li Ang deeply agreed, he was not like other people, he had been intruding on this way since he was a child, and he was familiar with the Nine Classics. For him, who became a monk halfway, in such a short period of seven or eight months, it is good to be able to familiarize himself with the two great classics of "The Book of Rites" and "Zuo Chuan";

As for the other minor scriptures. Basically, just read it once or twice from beginning to end and have a basic impression.

He really hopes that he has the talent of Yang Nan and never forgets it.

Fortunately, the most important part of the imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty is not in the examination room, but outside the examination room. Even the clan surname does not shy away.

Basically, whoever presides over the imperial examination has the final say on who gets on the list.

As for the exam in the examination room, it is just a walk-through procedure. As long as the exam papers are passable, it's fine.

What Li Ang has to do now is to get a passable exam paper, if the exam paper is a mess. That's not going to work either. So after the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Ang was almost discussing knowledge with Tang Yu and the others. Exchange of imperial examination matters.

Of course, he did not forget to visit Li Shizhi and Li Jin, the king of Ruyang. After all, the main battlefield is outside the examination room!

As the saying goes, it's not rude. When I get old, I eat and drink other people's, and it's always a bit rude not to invite people once, no matter whether I come or not, Li Ang personally sent the invitation.

After a few times, Li Jin, the king of Ruyang, was so enthusiastic that he finally agreed to come to the banquet on the sixth day of the first lunar month. With him taking the lead, Liang Zhi, a member of the Zhongshu House, also agreed to go to the banquet.

This is terrible, Li Ang came to mobilize the whole family, this is not enough, although Liu Jiuniang's skills are very good, how can one person rush to the dishes of the entire banquet. Li Ang also had to send someone to the Zhuangyuan Building to invite the chef to help organize the banquet.

To win this banquet, it costs a lot of money, but as a lifter, he can invite Li Jin, one of the eight immortals in the wine, to come to the banquet, and Li Ang is probably the only one. This will be very helpful in further increasing his popularity.

It's a pity that Li Shizhi couldn't be invited, but Li Xia was invited.

Li Shizhi can let his eldest son come, at least it shows that Chunyu still has some hope to be on the list.

As the saying goes, there is no feast without fun, Li Ang has to go to Pingkangfang to invite a famous prostitute to accompany him, and a VIP like King Ruyang must invite a famous Oiran lady in Chang'an City to be worthy of his identity.

It just so happened that Qian Shi also came, and he had to go with Li Ang, so Li Ang took him straight to Pingkangfang.

Qunfang Building, Wu Wa Pavilion, Chuyun Building, Bichun Building, Wenxian Building....... these are all famous green buildings in Chang'an City, each with a famous flower town building, Li Ang went to Pingkangfang to ask only to know, to invite these famous flowers in the north is not simple, you have to make an appointment.

It was the first time for Li Ang to entertain distinguished guests in Beijing, how did he know this!

These famous flowers are very popular, and all the banquet guests in the homes of high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Beijing like to invite them to perform and enliven the atmosphere;

Especially now that the Chinese New Year is over, everyone is on holiday, and it is the busiest day for holding various banquets, and the schedule of the famous flowers in Beili is full.

Li Ang visited Pingkangfang almost all over the place, but he didn't invite a single famous flower.

When he transferred to Xinghualou, Han Ruosu had no itinerary for today's arrival, but it was because he was unwell that he temporarily postponed today's appointment.

When Leon learned of this situation, he prepared to leave.

The fake lady saw the money waiting outside, and her heart moved, this big fat man is a big financier, and he was still shouting that day to charter Xinghualou.

She immediately ran out and grabbed Li Angmei and said with a smile: "Li Langjun is a famous person in Chang'an, the person you want to entertain must be a distinguished guest, and my family Ruosu is not unable to go to Li Langjun's service, but the price is ........"

"Aunt Xing, didn't you say that Miss Ruosu was sick?" If you invite someone who is sick to go, it is also a snub to the guest, and Li Ang would rather not be invited.

The fake lady smiled all over her face, and said to Li Ang and Qian Shi: "The two Langjun don't know, my family Ruosu was indeed a little uncomfortable yesterday, so I pushed down today's appointment, but I rested for one night, today is much better, if Li Langjun pays more money, I will ask people to buy some more ginseng to stew a bowl of ginseng soup for her to drink, isn't this good, in short, Guan Bao will not neglect Li Langjun's distinguished guests." ”

Qian Shi preemptively said: "Aunt Xing, as long as you can go to your house, this money is not a problem." ”

Li Ang said: "Brother Qian, I have a treat, how can I let you break the bank, this is not in line with etiquette." Okay, Aunt Xing, I'll come out with this money, just let your family come to my house before the time of Su Shen. ”

After this was done, Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief, but when he returned, he found that Qian was a little depressed.

He couldn't help asking, "Brother Qian, what's wrong?" ”

Qian Shi sighed: "Li Ang, to tell you something from the heart, in fact, I know what kind of goods I am, since I arrived in Chang'an, I have been ridiculed and hit walls everywhere, only Brother Li can afford me, I am very moved in my heart, I have long regarded Li Ang as a brother, but Brother Li is so foreign today, I really don't hide it, which makes me a little unsure of how to deal with myself?" ”

Li Ang can understand his feelings, money is really rich, but money may not be able to get the respect of others, I still remember that when he was in the fire well, he went to donate money to the county school, and was sneered at by those students, it was because of that incident that Li Ang decided to take the test for fame.

What's more, Qian Shi looks like this, he doesn't kiss him, his uncle doesn't love him, people like him, being rich will make other scholars look down on him even more.

Li Ang thought for a while and said: "Brother Qian, I'm not outside, so let's do it, I'll show you the way, King Ruyang and Zuo Xiang's side, although I know each other, but even I don't dare to be very sure, so you don't have to spend any thought on them;

Do you still remember the history of Yang Yushi that I introduced to you a few days ago? Now that the left minister has asked for the Yang family's relatives, if you want to be named on the gold list, prepare more gifts;

Remember, you can't give up the child can't trap the wolf, you have to be willing to make a heavy bet, in two days, I will take you to visit Yang Yushi, if he is willing to help you, maybe there is some hope. ”

"Great! Brother Li, I knew that you were my destined noble..."

"Slow, slow, Brother Qian, I'll say ugly things ahead, you can only get a possibility if you invest this money, and it may not necessarily make you a title on the gold list, you think it out yourself first, don't make a hasty decision."

Qian Shi smiled: "What is there to think, Brother Li is his own person, I don't hide it, my father bought the quota with money, if he can be named on the gold list, glorify his ancestors, even if he pours out all his family wealth, his father is willing;

It's just that this Chang'an is not as good as Yangzhou, here I just want to give gifts, and I can't enter other people's doors, Brother Li can show me the way, whether it works out or not, you are the great benefactor of my Qian family. ”

Li Ang smiled: "Brother Qian, if you want, just treat me as a brother, between us, don't say that the benefactor is not a benefactor, what will happen in the future, take care of each other, who knows if I will ask Brother Qian in the future, haha......"

Li Ang is now famous in Chang'an, and seeing that the title of the gold list is promising, Qian Shi is really grateful to him for being so kind and friendly to him, a person who has been looked down upon everywhere. said again and again: "Brother Li, what do you want to ask for?" Brother Li's kindness, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to repay it in this life, as long as Brother Li has a place to use me in the future, just send a sentence, if I have something to say, I won't call it Qianshi. ”

Li Ang didn't know how far Qian Shi could go, and he didn't expect Qian Shi to really bring him anything, he just felt that he was a real person, so he made him a friend.
