Chapter 194: Exploring Spring
The eastern suburbs want to explore spring, but there are no traces of warbler flowers.
Just after a cold and long winter, Chang'an in February is the spring cold material, although the time sequence has been mid-spring, but still do not see the scene of early spring, but it does not affect the heart of the city and women to explore the spring, February arrives, ride a car across the horse, go to the southeast suburbs of Chang'an City to go to the people in an endless stream.
Especially after the provincial examination, the list has not yet come out, more than 1,800 people who live in Chang'an, Rao is one of them who has already failed in the first two games, but it can be remembered that the next year is the road to slowly retake the exam, and now it is just a good time to take a leisurely time, in order to dispel the loss of the list, there are quite a lot of literati who are on an outing.
Liu Wensu has been in Chang'an for the sixth year, and after spending more than half a year in the secretary's province, it is finally his turn to copy the empress's "Xuansuo Book", that is, the book that the empress named to read.
Thinking that the empress is now old, she is seventy years old, and her eyesight is probably not as good as that of young people, Liu Wensu does not highlight her calligraphy, so she copied the words in a boxy direction, and deliberately doubled the word, the empress looked very pleasing to the eye, praised a few words, since then the empress's "Xuansuo book" has become Liu Wensu's exclusive errand, after a long time, he was named at the empress, and when the empress temporarily asked someone to copy the book, Liu Wensu was summoned.
At that time, the court class examination officials, their appearance and beauty were a hard indicator, and the empress saw that Liu Wensu had a clear appearance, talked to a certain extent, and praised a few words from her love for talent.
The saint's every move, since the attention of the eight directions, there is the empress's great praise and talent, at this time it is just winter, to the annual subject selection examination, this is a higher level than the imperial examination, only with a scholar background and officials can refer to.
If you can pass the subject selection examination, the former officer and the candidate can be directly promoted without waiting for four years of selection, and the incumbent official can be directly promoted by at least one rank without being promoted or demoted through the four-year assessment of the Ministry of Officials.
As a result, there are countless soldiers and officials who take the examination every year, but no more than three can pass the examination.
Liu Wensu served as the secretary of the provincial school before the exam, every year to participate in the subject selection exam, but every year off the list, this year the queen praised its talent, it is estimated that the examiner was affected by it, Liu Wensu won the championship in one fell swoop, was promoted to the right of the eighth grade.
As the name suggests, it is to pick up the emperor's mistakes in policy, which is equivalent to a modern supervisory and assistant agency, which is responsible for taking care of the four boxes used by other officials to present the folds.
Therefore, Liu Xiaoshu has become a legacy of Liu, and the establishment is subordinate to Zhongshu Province, which is the name of the central official office directly under the emperor, which can be regarded as the central department of the feudal regime.
Liu Wensu has only been a school scrivener for a year, and he was promoted to the core department of power, although he is still a grassroots civil official who works at the bottom, he has a bright future, and he is also famous in the empress, and he is quite hot in the literati circle for a while.
There are more banquets in this spring, and Liu Wensu is newly appointed on the last day of the first month, and now it is the fresh period, and the daily invitations are flying like snowflakes, even if he doesn't want to go, there are things that can't be postponed.
In short, since the day Liu Chenxing came back from the end of the provincial exam, Liu Wensu had to go to the banquet almost every other day, anyway, it was completely different from when he was still Liu Xiaoshu a year ago, like cramming their brothers and sisters at home every day to make up for study, it was simply impossible.
There is no Uncle Liu at home, and Liu Qingshan is also not there.
As soon as the provincial examination was over, Xue Cheng mysteriously dragged Liu Qingshan to the banquet every day, and specially left each other's two sisters, seeing that the banquet was not suitable for children.
The elder brother is also twenty years old, and some scenes should still be seen, and it is more important to believe in the character of his own elder brother, and Liu Chenxing was left alone at home as if he didn't know anything.
If so, when the five examiners gathered to start reading the essay test paper of the female lifter, Liu Chenxing was left alone at home to guard the door.
Although I am quite sure of the answer to the essay, there are too many uncertainties in the imperial examination, like Uncle Liu, who is as talented as a person, and has been taking the exam for four years, Liu Chenxing does not dare to slack off, not to mention that she has been used to learning for ten years, and she always feels lacking if she does not study for a day, so after the provincial test, she got up early in the morning to read and read in the morning, and practiced calligraphy.
The same routine on this day, after reading in the morning, Uncle Liu and Brother Liu were not at home, Liu Chenxing was even more lazy to make morning food, and walked to the door of the workshop a few steps to ask for a bowl of yellow and clear corn porridge and mutton buns to eat, and then returned home to practice calligraphy.
The weather was still cold, so Liu Chenxing knelt beside the hearth in the main hall and practiced calligraphy.
According to the progress, today we should write the twenty-eighth chapter of the "Book of Rites" "Zhongni Yanju".
dipped in ink, lifted the pen and splashed ink, the first sentence "Zhongni Yanju, Zizhang Zigongzi Youshi, indulgence as for etiquette." And it appeared on the rice paper.
She started to practice calligraphy with the most common "regular script", and now she has been practicing "regular script" for ten years.
Ten years of practicing calligraphy, a hand of "regular script" can be seen to have a small success.
I saw the first sentence of "Zhongni Yanju" more than 20 words, the font is dignified, the pen is strong, and the person who says goodbye calligraphy is only fifteen years old, how can he also be praised: excellent!
Liu Chenxing looked at what he had written, but he sighed and shook his head dissatisfied.
Sure enough, it has reached a bottleneck, no matter how much you practice, the font is not close to an inch, and the most line of writing is more smooth and solid.
Since he was not satisfied with writing again, Liu Chenxing simply put down his pen and wanted to get up and go to the courtyard for a walk, so that he could think about how everyone practiced calligraphy from ancient times to the present.
The words "calligraphy everyone" flashed through his mind, and Liu Chenxing had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he turned around in a hurry, looking at the eight big characters hanging on the wall of the upper seat of the main hall - God rewards diligence and eventually becomes a great tool.
The first four characters are square block letters, and the last four characters are wild and uninhibited cursive.
Although the two are different fonts, they are immediately superior to each other.
Liu Chenxing's eyes fell on the four big words "Finally become a great weapon" for a long time, and his heart jumped suddenly.
At that time, she was shallow and did not know Jiang Mo's name, but now she has been in Chang'an for more than a year and almost two years, as a literati, Rao is a narrow social circle, and she also knows the name of Jiang Mo's calligraphy.
Thinking of the words Jiang Mo left her at the beginning of the year, she could go to the suburbs in the south of the city to meet her.
I failed to participate in the provincial examination that year, so naturally I didn't go to meet after the provincial examination as I said at the beginning, and then I was entangled in Malatang and hot pot business, so I never went.
Now that Uncle and Brother are not there, she has nothing to do after the try, it is better to find Jiang Mo in the south of the city, if she can get a pointer, wouldn't it be better than thinking about it like now?
Liu Chenxing's eyes lit up, and seeing that it was only morning, he immediately changed into the Hu clothes on his body, put on a formal brown robe, and rode to the outskirts of the southern part of the city, which can be regarded as catching up with a wave of spring exploration.
