Chapter 149: Social Life

When the dynasty is ethereal and the mountains and rivers are broken, there is always no shortage of tragic poems.

When the country is rich and the people are strong, its literary style is bound to be dominated by a bold and flashy literary style.

The prosperity of this dynasty is unprecedented, and the style of writing in recent years has long been dominated by flashy rhetoric, and the general direction is known to the world, but there are small factions under the gorgeous style, and the overall difference is not much.

Therefore, after Liu Wensu introduced the main poetry factions in Chang'an one by one, he saw that it was already late afternoon, and today's class was almost over, so he talked about other aspects of the provincial examination.

Liu Wensu said: "Throughout the beginning of the imperial examination, there are three things in common that a lifter can successfully achieve fame. ”

"First, there is no doubt that it is the ability to learn, which requires the accumulation of daily learning."

"Second, social prestige, so in recent years, the wind of the roll has prevailed, and the child hopes to obtain reputation and recommendation in this way, which has certain requirements for the people he meets."

"Third, material wealth, Chang'an Province can pass the test at one time is almost rare, is to apply for the period, usually have to wander outside for a long time, so a certain amount of material wealth is needed to ensure life."

Liu Chenxing is a copywriter in modern times, and a very important characteristic of planning is to be good at analysis and induction.

In my heart, of course, I want to praise it, I hope that the proposition poems arranged today, Uncle Liu will be merciful when he checks tomorrow morning, so he said with a basket of good words: "Most people analyze the imperial examination, they start from the examination questions of the past years, and it is estimated that only Uncle has found another way to analyze the common points of the successful examination of the past dynasties." Listening to Uncle Xi's words today, Ah Xing was so stunned! ”

It's already out of class, Liu Wensu lost the seriousness of the class, hooked his thin lips, and said with a smile: "Sycophant slave!" ”

Liu Chenxing knew that Uncle Liu was satisfied with his praise, and the so-called one fiction and one reality were more credible, so he said seriously: "What Ah Xing said is sincere, but Uncle wants to say that if Brother and I want to pass the state test, how much more will we communicate to gain social prestige?" ”

Hearing Liu Chenxing's words, he grabbed the center of what he was going to say, and also found that their uncle and nephew had a tacit understanding, Liu Wensu's clear eyes flashed a smile, but his face became serious, and he said back to the truth: "Yes, what I want to talk about next is the social problem of the two of you." ”

"Actually, if the two of you can go to the provincial examination, you must know very well that the prestige of a person is very important to gaining fame in the examination and becoming an official in the future. Therefore, every year when he goes to Chang'an to take the exam, he is very busy before the exam, either busy participating in the poetry club to establish social relationships, or giving his poems to Chen Qi to the place of officials and nobles. ”

"However, if you want to build a relationship, you have to go to restaurants, brothels, and temples. But Ah Xing is a daughter of a good family, and the female jinshi has been criticized so far, so she is not allowed to go to wine shops and brothels. And although there are dignitaries and dignitaries in and out of the temple, in the same way, a woman chases after her and asks to see her, and her face is dull. So, only start with the existing interpersonal relationships. ”

"First of all, 'fellow villagers' is the basic relationship of interpersonal union, especially when people have a strong sense of hometown, and most of them are willing to help fellow villagers; secondly, 'same clan' does not need to be really a person of the same clan, as long as the same surname can be related. Then 'old friends of the father's generation', 'friends of friends', and their own poetic and literary abilities can expand interpersonal relationships. ”

After hearing this, Liu Chenxing nodded thoughtfully and said, "Uncle, I understand what you mean, because of the female students in the village, I have always been alone. ”

It's just that I didn't expect that Chang'an City, which is all-encompassing, can accept foreign religions and all kinds of colored people, but it is still similar to Qingyang County, and the female lifter is still an outlier.

Liu Chenxing was a little disappointed as he spoke.

Liu Wensu saw it, he walked up to Liu Chenxing, looked at Liu Chenxing, who had changed back into women's clothes and combed his double-ring hanging bun, hesitated slightly, but still rubbed the top of Liu Chenxing's head, and said: "Actually, Chang'an is not without female lifters lingering in wine shops and brothels, but Uncle doesn't want even any rumors to fall on you." However, the dormancy is only temporary, and when Ah Xing stands at a certain height, no matter what he does, no one will say anything. ”

Liu Chenxing thought that in addition to the empress and her cronies female officials are women, since the beginning of the female imperial examination, there has been no female lifter who can really become a real power official, and he has never thought about this problem before, but today he couldn't help but raise his head and ask: "Uncle, so far no female lifter has passed the imperial examination to become an official, how far can Ah Xing go on this road?" ”

Liu Wensu raised his head and looked at the front of Chongping, his gaze was far away, as if he could look out from this narrow courtyard, and he said: "There was no empress in the world before, isn't there now one?" The matter is man-made, and Uncle believes that Ah Xing will also enter the phase on that day. ”

In and out of the prime minister, the highest political vision of the Shiwen people is also like this.

Liu Chenxing thought that he was just a small move, and it was still early to be qualified as an official, so he put away such unfounded worries, first focused on the present, and achieved fame, so he returned to the truth and preached: "I haven't told my uncle yet, this time we came to Chang'an, it was with Cui Xiang's grandson Cui Yao, and Du Yuanlang, the son of Qianshi, who was on the same road, but I was afraid that Cui Xiang and my uncle were not in the same political camp, so they separated before entering Chang'an, and agreed to make an appointment when they went to the Ministry of Rites on the 25th." Now that I hear my uncle, can they continue to have a deep friendship? ”

Liu Wensu was slightly surprised when he heard this, there are only a few people elected by the states every year, and they naturally know each other, but the children of the high-ranking families have always had no more friends with the high-ranking people of the Hanmen, let alone Cui Yao, who is from the five major surnames.

Now that they are on the same road to Beijing, and Liu Chenxing's political sensitivity - I am afraid that Cui Xiang is not in the same camp as him, Liu Wensu began to doubt his original plan for the second time, and let Liu Chenxing study in order to marry better, and the first doubt was when he learned that Liu Chenxing won the top spot in Beizhou.

However, eight years of life in Chang'an have already made him more able to hide his emotions, so he only said: "Uncle originally planned to invite the three or five forwards and colleagues to get together, and introduce your brothers and sisters to one or two, which can also be regarded as opening up a reputation in Chang'an." Then the two of you will be taken by your uncle to a meeting of the scribes of the Shell State. Now that you have an appointment with Cui Yao and the others, then continue to have fellowship without taking care of me. Said with a smile, "Uncle is only a nine-rank petty official now, and he can't be involved in the camp yet." ”

In one word, Liu Chenxing not only set the direction of making up for the bad before the exam, but also set the social life that is indispensable for the current move, and made every effort to prepare for the provincial exam.
