Chapter 143: Chang'an has arrived

Liu Chenxing's name began to spread from Beizhou to the ninth month of the lunar calendar.

At this time, it is late autumn, the sky is high and refreshing, the fruit is ripe, the yellow chrysanthemum is blooming, and the red leaves are first embellished, which is the most suitable for climbing high and traveling.

The so-called reading 10,000 books is not as good as traveling 10,000 miles, since Luoyang went to Chang'an by land, it is estimated that there are many tourists in the weather, and Chang'an has an adsorption effect on the population, just like the rainbow effect of the four first-tier cities in modern Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen on the national population.

Especially when I entered the boundary of Yongzhou, that is, the land of Gyeonggi in this dynasty, I realized how well I watched the sky when I was in Qingyang County before.

Nowadays, the vast majority of ordinary people have indeed never been out of their state or county in their lives, but there are still a large number of floating people.

For example, religious figures such as monks and Taoists, candidates who went to Chang'an to wait for by-elections and candidates for official positions, and other incumbent officials, of course, also have candidates for the examination, and these groups of people should be the objects of Liu Chenxing and his entourage's active friendship, after all, it will be beneficial to them in the future provincial examination and even for officials. In addition, along the way, there are also low-status floating people such as merchants and craftsmen, unlike other exam-taking moves, Liu Chenxing is still very willing to communicate with them, and chatting is also an increase in his experience.

The only thing that is not so rosy is that the selection and reporting officials who go to Beijing to seek official positions are all "on the road at the end of autumn and returning at the end of spring", and the time completely coincides with their provincial examinations, and the number of people who go to Beijing every year is even more than their examinations.

But there are only so many official posts in the imperial court, and when there are more monks and less porridge, the official posts that can be stayed for free by the people who went to Beijing to take the exam, so they naturally can't live in, and the private hotels on the side, because of the oversupply, the price is very high.

But how big the feet are to wear as big shoes as they are, I don't know what the situation is when I go to Chang'an, and the money is still a long stream.

So after staying in a few expensive private hotels, Liu Chenxing and Liu Qingshan unanimously decided to find a farmhouse on the road to stay, as for Cui Yao and Du Yuanlang who were with them, they were the children of the eunuchs, and the Xue brothers and sisters had a big business, so naturally they didn't need to settle for them, but they didn't want to propose parting ways, and the four of them were all opposed, saying that they were farmers who lived together in the land of Gyeonggi, which would help them to understand the people's feelings.

If so, the three parties finally went separately, and only agreed to contact Chang'an again.

Without the two wealthy companions, the brother and sister invariably breathed a sigh of relief.

The Xue brothers and sisters are okay, they have lived together in the end, and they also understand each other's temperament, and there is not much difference in the social status of the two sides, so they can still get along together in life.

However, Cui and Du are different, everything must be fine, and they must be fine in everything they do, and they will not be wiped out on the same road together, just once or twice, but it is not good if they keep doing this.

Another reason is Cui Yao's background, along the way, many candidates and officials in Beijing are willing to condescend to make friends with them, because of Cui Yao's identity, and there are many people who are far away, and after a little thought, it is a factional problem.

Although their brother and sister are still far from being an official and a half-job, Uncle Liu is already a Beijing official, even if he is a nine-rank petty official, Liu Chenxing feels that it is better to be cautious before figuring out the faction problem, don't let people mistake it for Cui Xiangyi's lineage, so as to implicate Uncle Liu.

In case this year's policy essay is related to the livelihood of the people in Gyeonggi, and the time to apply for the examination in the Ministry of Officials is still sufficient, the brother and sister simply walked more and saw more along the way to the local people's life by staying in a farmhouse.

In this way, an extra third of the time was spent on the road.

It was not until the afternoon of the eighth day of the tenth lunar month that the brother and sister arrived in Chang'an in the long yellow dust.

Chang'an, as the capital of this dynasty and the political, economic and cultural center of the country, has a strong attraction to scholars and scholars.

There is a saying: no one has heard of the cold window for ten years, and he has become famous all over the world in one fell swoop.

Why do you read a book?

What is the ultimate goal of reading?

Answer: Take Majing City Road, watch the flowers on Chang'an Street, stand on the temple, and follow the dragon chariot.

Liu Chenxing felt that after reading so many books in ancient times, most of them were brainwashed, looking up at the city wall of Chang'an, she suddenly gave birth to such a yearning, and she only felt pride for a while, there was the first empress in Daming Palace, and she was going to be the first woman!

"Who's that!? Where did the country jinshi come from! If you don't enter the city, don't get in the way! Get out of the way! ”

The ambition and pride only rose, and he was drunk by a big man in a bearded suit riding a horse behind him, and all his feelings disappeared immediately.

Knowing that he was in the way, Liu Chenxing hurriedly retreated to the side of the road, and apologized: "I'm sorry, you go first." ”

Chang'an is full of women in men's clothes, and there are many women who take the exam, but it is estimated that there are few young people like Liu Chenxing, and when the big man in Hufu saw Liu Chenxing's immature appearance when he turned around, he couldn't help but "hey" and said: "This year's female jinshi from other places, there is such a small ......"

But there was nothing in Chang'an, the yellow-haired and blue-eyed Persians all went to the sea, not to mention a slightly younger female jinshi, and the big man in Hufu was puzzled, so he didn't even take a second look, so he rode past Liu Chenxing and went to the queue in front of him to enter the city.

All the way out of the imperial examination, because he is a female lifter, he is still young, and he can't help but be surprised wherever he goes, and then he heard that he went to Chang'an to participate in the provincial examination, and the ordinary people are respectful, and they have never encountered such a person who has been ignored.

Liu Chenxing couldn't help but sigh, the big city is really different.

Look at the front again, almost two o'clock in the afternoon, the city gate is full of people waiting in line to enter the city, sitting on the horse about a look, the black pressure is full of human heads, plus the carriages, horses, luggage and camels pulling goods, the queue into the city is at least twenty or thirty meters long, this kind of flow of people is not Beizhou City can be compared.

Liu Qingshan was also shocked by the flow of people in front of him, and then looked up at the city wall in front of him, which was more majestic than any city he had seen along the way, and he couldn't wait in his heart, and said, "Ah Xing, let's go, let's hurry up and line up!" ”

It really can't be delayed, I don't know how long it will take to enter the city, and then I have to find Uncle Liu's residence, in case I don't find it before the night curfew, the two brothers and sisters don't die before they get out of the school.

Liu Chenxing nodded hurriedly, and was about to answer, when she found an extremely familiar thin figure in the crowd of people out of the city, even if she hadn't seen her for eight years, even if the white cloth robe had been changed to a blue and blue nine-grade official uniform, she still recognized the person at a glance

β€”β€”The enlightenment teacher who started her road to the imperial examination!

"Uncle!" Reunited after a long absence, Liu Chenxing waved his hands excitedly and shouted loudly at the top of his throat.
