Chapter 18 Study in Chang'an
The sleep that people need is always fixed, stay up late today, and the sleep they need tomorrow will be doubled, printed with the sentence: Come out and mix sooner or later, you will have to pay back, of course, if you sleep too much, you will not be sleepy tomorrow night, this is the experience of staying up late in Xuyang University for four years.
The first year of Zhenguan, July 23.
Early in the morning, Xu Yang woke up very early today, and knew that he had slept too early yesterday because of fatigue, so he naturally got up early today.
There was nothing to do early in the morning, so Xu Yang simply washed up and went to the computer.
'Guo Meimei was arrested for buying prostitution, and the crime may be sentenced to ten years' The news that opened the headlines of hao123 immediately attracted Xu Yang's attention, and Xu Yang quickly clicked in and watched it with relish.
"This girl has finally been brought to justice, and Skynet is restored and not leaked, haha." After watching the video, Xu Yang said to himself with relief.
At this moment, there was a soft knock on the door.
Xu Yang quickly covered the computer with a cloth and said, "Who?" ”
"It's me, Brother Xu Yang." A crisp and nice voice sounded outside the house.
"Oh, it's Mengli, please come in."
Opening the door, as soon as Liu Mengli entered the house, Xu Yang found that there was something wrong with her expression.
"What's wrong?" Xu Yang walked up and gently touched Liu Mengli's hair and asked.
I saw Liu Mengli with some tears in her eyes, and said pitifully: "Brother Xu Yang, don't you want to go?" ”
Xu Yang didn't react a little, and said, "Let's go?" What to go? I'm not leaving, am I? ”
Liu Mengli was still teary-eyed, pulling Xu Yang, and whispered in her mouth, "Brother Xu Yang, I don't want you to go, I don't want you to go"
Xu Yang was a little dazed, this girl is not crazy because I am too handsome, what is the god babbling about, he held Liu Mengli's hand and said: "I won't leave, I will always be in your Liu family, have you forgotten that I told you my ideals?" I won't leave without building the Tang Dynasty into the greatest empire on earth. After that, he gently touched Liu Mengli's little face.
Liu Mengli's face instantly blushed.
She said softly: "Brother Xu Yang's words count, then you can go with me to see the old lady now." With that, he pulled Xu Yang, who looked inexplicable, towards the hall of the Liu family
The old lady of the Liu family sat in the Liu family's meeting hall at this time.
He looked around the hall and suddenly felt that he had lived a long time, and that he was already old.
The bright glass on the wall filled the room through the warm sunlight, and the hall, which had been full of a faint musty smell all year round, was now not only clean and refreshing, but also had a faint lavender smell. Also, I have been kneeling and sitting for half my life, and now in my old age, I actually enjoy the pleasure of sitting on the chair, thinking of the comfort of sitting on the chair, Mrs. Liu touched the wooden rocking chair behind him, and it was really comfortable to lie here.
"Old man, this is the latest Huangshan Maofeng fried by the Tea Alliance Company, you can taste it." Liu Dongliang flattered and presented a glass of tea to Old Man Liu, although he is the head of the family, but this Old Man Xi is now the assassin of Xiazhou in Youzhou, from the fourth grade, a well-known real power figure, as long as the old man is here, the Liu family will not fall for a day.
"Tsk~" tasted a sip of tea, the old man suddenly enjoyed his face, the feeling of this tea simply made him like a spring breeze, cool with a hint of bitterness, bitterness and sweetness, as if he was tasting life, so he couldn't stop.
"Good tea~" The old man's cloudy eyes looked at the jade tea leaves that were sleeping quietly in a crystal transparent glass, and fell into deep thought
"Grandpa~Dad~ Brother Xu Yang is here." A pink floated into the house, and it was Liu Mengli who came in, only to see her holding Xu Yang's hand into the conference hall, Liu Dongliang saw his daughter and Xu Yang holding hands, not to mention how happy he was, a somewhat wrinkled face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum, and Xu Yang had goosebumps when he saw it.
"Old lady Liu is blessed, and the head of the Liu family is blessed." Xu Yang bowed down to say goodbye, after a long time, he saluted in a decent manner.
"Okay, good~ good boy, please sit down." Old lady Liu also looked at the young man in front of him with an excited face, and this young man who returned from overseas was full of too many unknowns and wonders. The things in the hall are all related to him, the cement reinforced stone wall, the transparent glass on the wall, the rocking chair in the house, the back chair, the glass next to it, the Huangshan Maofeng tea brewed in the cup, are all created by this mysterious young man, these things are not only convenient for life but also bring huge wealth, just like glass, now the entire Liu family, almost all the rest of the industry has been sold, only doing this glass business, the glass produced by the glass factory of hundreds of acres is still not in demand, a glass, the cost is only dozens of dollars, But now it can be sold for ten dollars, such a profiteering business, every day makes the people in the Liu Mansion wake up from a dream, and most importantly, he was dismissed and went home because of the party dispute, it was the glass horse that this young man gave to the Liu family, and paid tribute to His Majesty to make Long Yan happy, and he could be reinstated.
Thinking of this, the old lady Liu looked at Xu Yang's eyes more and more kindly, and he asked lovingly: "The future is terrifying, Xu Yang, you have been coming to my Liu family for some time, your great kindness to my Liu family, it is estimated that my Liu family can not be repaid as a cow and a horse, and now the old body just has an opportunity to repay you, calling you over today, is to ask if you are willing." ”
Xu Yang was a little confused, what to repay or not, he was not short of money and not lack of fame, now he just wanted to get more coolies and cement to build the stadium as soon as possible, he bowed his head slightly and said: "Old lady Liu is polite, this qiē is just Xu Yang's effort." Besides, I also have a share of the profits from the sale, and you also helped me set up a chengguan agency in the government, which made me very content and did not need to repay. ”
Old lady Liu listened to Xu Yang's words, and the more she talked, the happier she became, this young man was not only thoughtful and good at making money, but also not arrogant, it was really a great opportunity for the Liu family to come to the Liu family.
Old lady Liu's cloudy eyes revealed the light of love, he looked at Xu Yang and said: "Xu Yang, you know that the current level of Datang is still 'scholar', 'farmer', 'worker' and 'business', and the merchant is at the bottom of the list and is very discriminated against. ”
Xu Yang's expression is a little sluggish, his thinking is not as noble as the Tang Dynasty, Shi Nong Industry and Commerce, the lowest status of businessmen, hehe, in the future life, who does not want to become a big boss, businessmen feel that they are superior, Ma Yun, Ma Huateng, that is the great god worshiped by the Chinese, I wish to know it, saying that the status is low can only hehe.
Xu Yang just wanted to prevaricate the old lady Liu, but he heard the old man chatter again: "Oh, it's a pity that my Liu family is not very good, and I don't have such a talented and intelligent seedling, even if I am qualified, I don't know who to let go." ”
Xu Yang asked curiously, "What qualifications are they?" ”
Liu Dongliang next to him hurriedly replied at this time: "It is the qualification to go directly to 'Taixue' to study." ”
Speaking of this Taixue, I want to explain to you the university system of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has a central university, the highest institution of learning in the country: Guozijian, Guozijian is divided into six faculties: four schools, Taixue, Guozixue, these three correspond to the undergraduate, master, and doctoral degrees of later generations, and the remaining three: law, calligraphy, and arithmetic are all some laws, calligraphy, and arithmetic, which are not on the table, and only the first three schools are listed as orthodox to study Confucian classics.
The aristocratic class of the Tang Dynasty attached great importance to privileges, so many social systems were beneficial to famous families, which can be seen by recruiting college students, first of all, the four undergraduate studies, recruiting the descendants of low-level officials and civil talents, and the four disciplines have a maximum of 1,300 people. As for the master's degree of Taixue, as long as the children and grandchildren of officials above the fifth grade can directly enter the Taixue study, the number of people is up to 500, as for the doctor's Guozixue, only the children of the big officials above the third grade can directly enter the study, and the number of people is up to 300.
Because the old lady of the Liu family is now from the fourth grade, ranking above the fifth grade, you can recommend one person to directly enter the Guozijian of Chang'an City, the political center of the Tang Dynasty, to study, the old lady Liu thought about it, and the people of the family are not the material for learning, it is better to accept Xu Yang as a righteous grandson, let this genius go to participate in the imperial examination, and in the future, he can also glorify the lintel of the Liu family.
Xu Yang then understood the reason why he came, to be honest, he himself really wanted to go to Chang'an City, the "world's first city" in the political center of the Tang Dynasty, to see. But at the moment, there are still many, many things that I have not dealt with in Youzhou, and I can't leave for a while.
Xu Yang tried to ask: "Then is there a time limit for this recommender?" ”
Liu Dongliang hurriedly replied: "There is no limit, as long as there is no recommendation, this recommendation quota will always be there." ”
Xu Yang touched his chin, this is excellent, it just so happens that he can also go to Chang'an to play, so he said: "Since this is the case, the younger generation is better to be respectful than to obey his fate, but the younger generation still wants to deal with some things in Youzhou and go back in a few years." ”
When Mrs. Liu heard Xu Yang's promise, she was overjoyed, and said the word 'good' three times, and then Xu Yang was in the hall, kowtowing and bowing, pointing to the sky as evidence, and recognized Mrs. Liu as the righteous father and Liu Dongliang as the righteous father.
As soon as everyone finished worshipping, they heard a female voice next to them crying, Xu Yang turned his head and saw that it was Liu Mengli, only to see her pear blossoms with rain, so pitiful.
Xu Yang hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her hand and said, "Girl, what are you crying about~ Don't cry." ”
I saw Liu Mengli choked up and said: "Brother Xu Yang obviously promised that people would not leave, but now he is going back on his word and wants to leave." With that, two lines of tears dripped down like beads with broken threads.
Xu Yang patted his head, oops, his big nerves, and forgot about this stubble, he hurriedly coaxed: "Silly girl, I don't want to leave now, besides, I will take you to Chang'an in the future, I am so rich, I will buy you a big house in Chang'an City, let you be a rich lady, I will go to you every day after school, it's not okay~"
A few words coaxed Liu Mengli into laughter, which also made Old Lady Liu and Liu Dongliang stunned.
