The new mansion rewarded by the empress is in the province of Zhengfang, which is located in the northeast of the city where the powerful officials and gentry gather.

However, the emperor is big when eating, and the cold pot in the new house is hot, so of course you have to fill your stomach before returning to the new house.

They entered the city from Qixia Gate, walked along the direction of the north of the city, the ninth square on the left side of the road is Pingkangfang, after Pingkangfang is the East Market, and after the East Market is the new house located in the Daozheng Fang.

Therefore, the seat of the new house is really not ordinarily good, and it is very close to buying things and taking care of Aunt Liu's hot pot business, that is, the prices in the East Market are slightly more expensive than those in the West Market, but this is nothing compared to going to the West Market across most of Chang'an City to buy things.

There are restaurants in Pingkangfang and Dongshi, and it is good to go to Pingkangfang to take care of their own business, but you also have to consider that Ye Niang and Grandma are not used to eating spicy food, and it is not good to eat spicy food when it is hot, so I passed by Pingkangfang and did not go in, took the road outside the square and went straight into Dongshi, found a wine shop and went in, and handed over the horses, ox carts, luggage carts and carts to Dr. Wine, grabbed a large handful of copper coins from the money bag on his waist, and kept it to Zhaogu very thoughtfully.

The wine shop is not big, but the business is very good, after all, the lot can be managed here.

At noon, the East Market had just opened, and the restaurant was almost full, and the laughter of diners came and went.

Luckily, there was still the last four-person plan in the corner that was empty, and all six of them were close relatives, and it didn't matter if the men and women were crowded into a table.

Today is the last two days of April, and the dividends will be distributed after tomorrow, and the blood in the purse will be returned immediately, Liu Chenxing was not polite when Dr. Jiu came to entertain her.

Three pots of good sake are available, and the price is not cheap, and one pot is consistent.

However, at this time, there is a shortage of drinks to drink, and if you want to make it stronger, you have to make good sake.

The journey from Luoyang to Chang'an, although it is a leisurely journey, but in the end, there is no alcohol content where can relieve fatigue.

Especially this gas, sake ice in the well water, a few hot drinks, it is really cool and thirst-quenching.

There is sake to relieve fatigue and relieve the heat, and then 60 skewers of roast mutton, a bowl of cold noodles per person, such a light meal at noon is enough, anyway, everyone's appetite is not very high.

Zi's feet are different, plus this is still a high-ranking dignitary and scholar Changguang Gudong City, after their picky test, this is just a casual wine shop, the presentation and taste are not bad.

First eat half a bowl of cold noodles and give the stomach a bottom, and then pick up a skewer of roast mutton, a mouthful of mutton and a sip of sake, that is, the liquor of 356 degrees on the top of modern times.

“....... Led by King Wei, the rules for the evaluation of the palace examination of Liu Buque's advice have been formalized! Listen to the constraints on the examiner, and the level of the paper is also based on the score of the paper, so that our poor family does not have to worry about the title of the gold list! A white-robed scholar said excitedly.

"What about the constraints on the temple test?"

"Before the palace examination, there are county exams, provincial exams, and state exams, and so on in the past two years, the rumors of the Qingzheng examination style and discipline have passed, and it is not the same as before, and those who can successfully take the exam in Chang'an can still be well-dressed, and how can there be a chance for the children of the poor family? This is just to make the examination between the well-dressed disciples fairer. A scholar at the same table was estimated to be an angry and pessimist, shaking his head three times, and pouring several glasses of wine in a row, which had the meaning of relieving and dispelling sorrows, and at first glance he was a frustrated person in the examination room.

However, borrowing wine to eliminate sorrow is even more sorrowful, not to mention that the wine on the table is still cloudy wine, which is similar to modern mash, even if you want to get drunk, this person can be described as a frustrated and unhappy poor person in the examination room.

Emotions will infect people, and most of the people who come to Dongshi are gentry and literati, but such wine shops and dignitaries are generally not looked down upon, and only the poor and sour scholars and civil officials in Chang'an City will come.

Chang'an City is a palace city, an imperial city, and a city with three distinct hierarchies, and its layout is regular and strict, and there are classes and grades everywhere.

The people who live here, especially those who have access to the upper floors, do not feel this strict hierarchy all the time.

The usual feelings, coupled with the emotion of this pessimist scholar, this restaurant that talked and laughed from time to time couldn't help but be silent.

Although Chang'an City has a strict hierarchical system, and the barriers between classes are difficult to break, it is also a city full of infinite possibilities.

Of course, there may be few such opportunities, and there are not many people who get ahead in this way, but there are also many people who are dormant waiting for opportunities, and such people have a trait, at least they are definitely not pessimistic, and they are more rational.

In the next moment of silence, a diner retorted: "I can't agree with this brother's words. The Great Wall was not built in a day, so why reform the imperial examination? Before the imperial examination, I and other poor disciples didn't even have the opportunity to take an oath, but now the opportunity to get ahead is always there, although it is difficult. ”

"The rules for marking the palace examination presided over by King Wei can have largely avoided the possibility of favoritism and fraud by the examiners, and avoided the title of the gold list of the talentless. Even if there is only one more place to be taken by paper, it is a great opportunity for us. ”

Since ancient times, it has not been easy to get ahead and jump up the ranks.

I'm not afraid that the jump is too difficult, I'm afraid that there is no channel for the jump.

Nowadays, there is an order test, and there are regulations on the accountability of examiners, which has been greatly improved.

Resentment has been labeled as a failure.

Only when we see that glimmer of hope and face difficulties can we have the hope of reaching the top.

The diners sitting in the wine shop, from all over the world, can come to Chang'an from thousands of miles away, their minds are extraordinary, and their morale has been restored at the moment, and they have echoed it.

"This brother is very right! In recent years, it is the best time for the imperial examination, and no matter what, the determination of the palace examination is already a great opportunity for us and other poor children. ”

"There is also a martial arts examination that was determined three days ago, any good nationality can take the exam, if I have not been able to pass the Jinshi exam, my lower physique is not bad, and I have practiced hard for a few years to participate in the martial arts, and I may still be able to become a leader."

"That's right! With the Jinshi Science Palace Examination and the Martial Arts Examination, it is a good thing for us! There is always one, above the court, there will also be a seat for our poor children! ”
