Chapter 67: The Qilin Sends the Exam

Just as the spring was approaching, when the entire Yujing City was facing a serious atmosphere before the exam, everyone thought that Hong Yi, who should study the classics at home, changed their clothes, and Shen Tiezhu and Xiao Mu followed behind, holding a folding fan depicting orchids and wandering outside in the warm sun. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At this time, according to incomplete statistics, at least 100,000 people have poured into Yujing City, you must know that the people who take the exam are all lifting people, no matter how long people from background are admitted to the people, they are considered to be old men in the eyes of ordinary people, no need to pay taxes, as well as the annual food and salary issued by the imperial court, it can be said that a person can become a landlord family in a small county.

How can such a character come to participate in the exam that ordinary talents can compare? Even the poorest person is still enough to take out at least a hundred taels of silver, and this money is enough for him to take the servants to escort him to and from Yujing City and his hometown, and even the housing expenses for a few months before the exam are enough to worry about it.

And this time the exam can be said to be more attractive than usual, more than the previous thirty percent of the number of lifters, and even not far away to lift people one after another, more than 10,000 lifters plus more than several times the number of servants, it can be said that every exam is an emergence of business opportunities for the common people in Yujing City.

However, just as not everyone can seize every opportunity that appears, these opportunities also require entry tickets, that is, Wenchang Street!

If Bogu Lane corresponds to the upper class, then this street is where all scholars can enter and exit!

This is different from the place of Bogu Lane, and it is also the place where many scholars in Yujing City go most often, and the whole street is full of literati street selling pen, ink, paper, inkstone, all kinds of books, calligraphy and paintings, and seals.

The whole street is more than 20 miles long, and the shops and inns in it are all specially designed for each imperial examination, and the people who come to Yujing for scientific examinations from various state capitals live.

The inns at different levels show the difference between the financial resources and the region of the people who come, but if you are shy in your pocket, you can also go to other people's homes to borrow them, these people are the opportunity for ordinary people, at least these people's shyness is already rich and powerful in the eyes of ordinary people!

Crowded crowds of people bustle in the streets, and the otherwise peaceful Wenchang Street often becomes bustling with activity every year when it comes to the imperial examination.

This kind of thing Hong Yi has indeed never experienced in the Hou Mansion in the past, and he was finally freed this year, of course, he wanted to see such an extraordinary scene.

The afternoon sun is not so hot, Wenchang Street shows a shoulder grinding situation, and there are constantly people who are hugging each other to go to the Yutang Street next to it, after all, Yuehua Building, Talent Building, these places are places where young talents like to go.

However, the largest scattered flower building, ordinary people can't afford to go, especially after Su Mu's sudden return, maybe it is the effect of losing and regaining, the various prices of the scattered flower building have risen by a few grades, but it still can't stop many disciples of the family from spending a lot of money, just to see the beauty and win a smile.

The circle of those who were obviously wealthy was much smaller, but the momentum was even more extraordinary, everyone with beautiful servants and servants, and the scholars around them were all tall and equipped with long swords, obviously acting as bodyguards.

Several children of rich families gathered together, and the servants and maids together were much more powerful than those who went to Yutang Street.

However, it is more powerful than the momentum, and no one can compare to the children of those families, maybe they are nothing in terms of grade and court power, but when it comes to financial resources, they are all characters with gold and silver.

Swaggering on the street on the sedan chair, occupying the spacious road, in front of and behind are the martial arts of the rich slave support, the beautiful maid like a cloud to follow left and right, like the stars holding the moon, although I don't know how the talent of such a character is, but in terms of pomp and circumstance, the general second-class master is not comparable.

This kind of extravagant behavior naturally caused a lot of dissatisfaction, but they knew that it was a reflection of people's financial resources, as long as they did not violate the law, no one could hold them accountable, even if they occupied the most spacious area, there was no conflict, and the things that could be solved with money did not belong to them in their eyes.

Other lifters don't compete with them for this superiority, they all know that the big test is where the real winner lies, although these lifters with ravines in their chests are not with maids and servants, but they are wearing exquisite clothes, tall and powerful, holding swords and the divine light in their eyes is obviously different from ordinary lifters, showing that they are skilled in bows and horses, both civil and military, and the country is safe.

Hong Yi withdrew his gaze from these people, although there were many characters in them, but there were almost no people who were worthy of his attention, and there were almost no of them who had raised the spirit of Haoran, and there were a few better ones, mixed with a trace of distractions, and it was already a blessing to be able to reach the realm of a scholar in the future.

Unlike other times when there were only shops related to Wenchang Street, the small shops on the street at this time that had been temporarily permitted were also paved.

Juggling, snacks, souvenirs, and even some handmade delicate gadgets were all put on display, and countless small farmers living outside Yujing City took this opportunity to subsidize some households.

You must know that even if these things are not looked down upon by people, but the servants, slaves and even maidservants brought by these people add up to seventy or eighty thousand people, and their vision is not so high, plus they have to live in Yujing City, eat, drink and Lazar for several months, which is enough for these small businesses to make a lot of money.

Of course, most of them were earned by the inn on Wenchang Street, and no one knows how much of it increased the income of the imperial court.

It's just that the big exam in the past few years has been a rare celebration from top to bottom of Yujing City, and it can be regarded as something that makes the people excited.

Hong Yi, who was out of the house, changed his sideburns slightly at this time, and put on a few strands of beard who were not very familiar with him, and he really couldn't recognize it at first glance, and at first glance, he thought that he had come from to raise people to come out with guards and maids to play, but he had nothing to do all the way, and occasionally saw a few eye-catching characters bowing to each other, but it was also pleasant.

At this time, the closer you get to the place where the Wenchang Street inn is concentrated, the more you can feel a huge righteousness diffuse, the sound of Lang reading aloud can be heard from time to time, and there are even a lot of arguments about the interpretation of the classics, no matter how rich and powerful the people passing by here are, they can't help but lower their voices, which is a respect for the holy scriptures.

In this lingering, Hong Yi's ears are full of the classic sound of the students, closing his eyes and feeling that it is completely a fresh and righteous overflow, no wonder Qilin likes to follow him so much, this kind of refreshing feeling will indeed make people addicted, it can be said that this is the most comfortable time for Hong Yi during this time.

Just looking at Shen Tiezhu and Xiao Mu, who were following Hong Yi, also showed a relaxed look on their faces, they knew how much influence such a vast aura had on people!

Walking further inside, suddenly there was a noisy sound in the bustling crowd, it turned out to be the largest ancient book in Yujing City in front, the classic bookstore 'Yunkong Pavilion' in front of more than 30 slaves opened the way to block pedestrians, a sedan chair fell at the door in the middle, and an old man with white hair walked out, he looked around left and right and found that the people around him were blocked, and arched his hand with an apologetic smile, and then the owner of the bookstore walked out and greeted the old man.

Just looking at the appearance of this old man, you can know that he is not an ordinary person, what is rare is that the Haoran Qi in his chest is pure and flawless, and the talent contained in the heart of Haoran Dan, who is eager to try, is even more majestic, and he is the first-class person that Hong Yi has seen in these days.

Hong Yi was silent in his heart, he didn't expect this old man to come to Yujing City? Could it be...

At this time, the two saber lifters who passed by obviously knew the old man, and sighed during the conversation: "I didn't expect that this time the matter will be the great master of the literary world: Xie Wenyuan!" Mr. Xie was shocked! It seems that this scientific expedition may be able to go down in history! ”

"Mr. Xie's article, morality and fame move the world, even the champion of the year, Ji Changyue, has studied articles under his door, and the former prime minister Li Yanyi south and north, when he opened the country, he symbolically took a test, and then studied knowledge behind closed doors, and this time he actually came to take the imperial examination!"

The two lifted people and walked quickly while talking, but they didn't know that Hong Yi was also full of emotion at this time.

Since Hong Yi has traveled all over the world, he has naturally been to Haizhou, Nanzhou, where Xie Wenyuan has lived for a long time, and even he has had a lot of time with Mr. Xie Wenyuan, and he has been very guided by Mr. Xie, and even this gentleman with a holy heart has shared the manuscripts of Zhuzi that he has copied from the Zhuzi family over the years.

You must know that this grandmaster is already one hundred and three years old, and when he was in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was already a master of the literary world, and after the fall of the Zhou Dynasty, he symbolically took a big cadre to show that he obeyed the rule of the great Qian, and then he made an article behind closed doors, learned knowledge, and annotated the works of the sages of the sons.

It can be said that when Hong Yi was not out in the literary world, he was faintly a leader, and Hong Yi's reputation was so stable, and his strong support was an important reason.

'What is this old man going to do?' Thinking that this grandmaster was getting older and more with a childish personality, Hong Yi couldn't help but sigh with his forehead, and suddenly lost the interest in traveling and walked towards his own Hong Mansion.

And the old Grandmaster Xie Wenyuan in Yunkong Pavilion was smiling like a fox who had stolen a chicken at this time, obviously Hong Yi didn't know that this old man had already discovered him!

The boss of the Cloud Sky Pavilion had no choice but to smile in agreement, suspicious in his heart, not knowing what this great master of the literary world was thinking.

After Hong Yi returned to the mansion, he suddenly found that his stable mood was actually shaken by Xie Wenyuan, the old grandmaster, and in desperation, he had no choice but to start practicing character qualitative again, and he didn't leave the customs until two days before the scientific examination.

I knew that Xie Wenyuan was afraid that Xie Wenyuan's appearance that day was because he had discovered himself, and he couldn't cry or laugh at this kind old grandmaster, so he had to secretly think that this time the champion would definitely go all out, so that this childish great grandmaster would no longer provoke him, otherwise I am afraid that the number of times Hong Yi would retreat three times or twice I don't know how many times it would take.

Seeing that Hong Yi was out of the customs, Hong Xuejiao and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, Jing Ren had already rushed to Hongtai Mountain, HB Province to prepare for the establishment of the mountain gate, and the remaining grain, gold and silver in the Qiankun cloth bag would be sent to Jing Ren in batches through Hong Xuejiao's Chamber of Commerce.

Jing Ren and the remnants of the Great Zen Temple, etc., it can be said that there will not be much spare time in recent years, the mountain gate is just erected, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, Hong Yi They can understand it very well.

After laughing with a few people close to him, Hong Yi firmly refused their sending for the test, and in their surprised eyes, Hong Yi picked up the unicorn that was the size of a small dog and was still asleep and smiled: "It's enough to have it!" (To be continued.) )
