Chapter 139: Encounter
After living in the Taoist temple for a short period of time, although the Taoist did not say anything, Chen Tang knew in his heart that the other party had taken a lot of care.
On the occasion of farewell, I repeatedly made a gesture to express my gratitude.
The Taoist still looked quite unserious, and he didn't even look up, only focusing on the two insects fighting each other in the basin - in this season, the two insects are still strong, and they are really different.
It's just that after Chen Tang walked out of the courtyard, the Taoist Huo Ran raised his head, his eyes were blazing, and he muttered in his mouth: "Plant melons and get melons, plant beans and get beans." The Taoist gate has declined, the government and the opposition are gradually decaying, and finally a catastrophe will come. But this boy did not know that he came out of there, and he could not understand him...... No wonder the girls of the Qingqiu family, the ghosts of the Yin Division, are all interested in him......"
......
Hongfu Inn, Chen Tang was arranged here. Up and down the inn, all the scholars who came to take the exam.
All kinds of accents.
The same scholar who has won the examination is in a big circle, and naturally there are many topics.
However, in the big circle, there are many small circles, which are basically bounded by geography.
For example, those who come from Jiangzhou form a circle of their own, and those who come from Qingzhou form a circle......
Since the middle lift, Chen Tang has a lot of meaning to jump out of the circle, in addition to some superficial entertainment, outdoor activities, and that poetry meeting.
He doesn't like to be lively, and he doesn't want to be too social.
Although doing so can lead to isolation and the loss of many resources, it is difficult to change the personality.
It is said that "the friendship of gentlemen is as light as water", but without human affection, it will fall and flow in spring.
Very realistic relationship.
Chen Tang knows a lot of people, but they are basically nodding friends. The popularity is good, there are no bad people, but it is difficult to find a confidant.
Very faint feeling.
Light and comfortable.
Chen Tang has a lot of secrets hidden in him, and he doesn't want to be known, so naturally, he subconsciously keeps a certain distance from people.
Living in the inn, naturally there is no tranquility when the Taoist temple, all kinds of greetings, greetings, can not be avoided.
In terms of diet, there are also inconveniences.
The imperial court arranged an inn for the scholars to stay, but they had to pay the bills for eating and drinking. The money is nothing, the main thing is to find good food, it is not easy, you have to leave the inn and go outside to get it.
In addition, most of the scholars took scholars and maids and the like, followed and waited by their side, and Chen Tang was alone, which seemed different.
Some scholars secretly speculated that Chen Tang must have a bad family background, so he couldn't afford to support his subordinates.
Although it is said that he is famous, he basically has the qualifications of the middle class, and he has no worries about eating and drinking. But there are no absolutes, and there are always some special circumstances.
Even so, the scholars did not dare to despise him.
It's all because Chen Tang looks at it, he is too young, young and handsome, and he looks good. When I learned that Chen Tang was still a Panzhou lifter to try to solve the yuan, I paid two more attentions.
In the Kyushu of the world, the level of articles in the imperial examination is headed by the south of the Yangtze River, followed by the north, and the central part is at the bottom. Therefore, the number of places admitted to the sub-examination every year is also the least, often no more than double digits, and the number of states in the south of the Yangtze River can reach more than 30 people.
In comparison, the difference is not a star and a half.
In recent years, some ministers from the central part of the country have raised objections and asked to support the central region, otherwise, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all officials from the north and the south, and they are prone to problems.
However, it is difficult to return, and the members who hold the platform and authority of the court are basically from two places, how can they easily give up their places?
The north is covered by the capital, and the south of the Yangtze River has been rich since ancient times, and there are countless famous families, and the influence of power is very important.
Only the two or three states in the central part of the country are barren and uninhabited, and it is difficult to speak.
The level of the imperial examination in Panzhou has always been not favored, but if you can take the exam, you are so young, and your future is naturally not bad.
If one doesn't say it well, he will be hit in this department, and he will fly on the branch and become a phoenix.
The circle of scholars is related to three major irons, one is teachers and students, one is classmates, and the other is the same year.
Needless to say, the relationship between teachers and students will basically be branded. However, when they were admitted to the Jinshi, in general, they were all "protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven" and served the emperor; Because the teachers will be different at different stages, the meaning of classmates is not small, and the relationship is ranked last "in the same year", which means that in the same year and in the same subject examination, once it is said, there is also a lot of friendship.
In the same year's exam, they are both competitors and friends, and they will not casually make friends with each other.
Of course, there is no such thing as flattery.
The inn is crowded, but it is not lively. Even when dozens of people sit together to eat, it is quite quiet.
Eating without saying anything is the basic etiquette, and it is destined that they cannot eat meat in large quantities, drink wine in large bowls, and then talk heartily like the high-rollers.
In that case, the style of painting is wrong.
After the dinner, the topics discussed, or the topics that may be discussed as the examiners of the current subject, etc., and then the style of the essays of these possible candidates is discussed, and the atmosphere becomes warm.
Speculating on the exam questions and the style of the scriptures is a very important preparation for the exam.
The examiner is often the one who writes the questions.
However, whether it is the final candidate or the question, it is absolutely confidential, and it will not be revealed until the day of the exam. If there is a leak, it is an extremely serious incident, and those involved will fall to the ground.
"Brother Chen, it turns out that you live here. β
At noon one day, when Chen Tang was eating on the first floor, he saw Fan Xuan coming over and greeting him with a smile on his face.
And the slightly chubby Fan Yuan followed behind him like a fart, and when he saw Chen Tang, his face smiled a little unnaturally.
finally met this Fan brother again, and it seems that the other party was specially found.
This is not surprising, although the same reference move, although he arrived in the capital at different times, but at this stage, he was arranged to live in the inn, and the chance of meeting has increased greatly.
What's more, the other party has the intention to find someone.
After the sword box devoured a wisp of Song Siming's ghost, on the way back, Chen Tang was quite worried that the other party would be desperate and would continue to come to find trouble. But fortunately, the road was calm and there was no incident.
He's fine, and the Fan brothers don't seem to be in trouble.
As for other moves, there must be people who are lost, but the news is blocked and unknown.
In this world, when people go far away, they are in a state of "uncertain life and death". My family doesn't know if you can't get to your destination, and I'm not sure if you're going to come, or if you're halfway there, and you're going home......
Anyway, the two ends will not reach the shore, and life and death will be boundless.
People can't locate it, and the delivery of messages is too slow and too slow.
In response to Fan Xuan's greetings, Chen Tang politely replied.
Fan Xuan said enthusiastically: "Brother Chen, if you don't dislike it, I'll be the east tonight, and invite you to Yanzilou for a drink." β
Swallow Tower is one of the famous buildings in Beijing.
Chen Tang refused: "Before the exam, I don't drink. β
Fan Xuan nodded, knowing that he was in a hurry: "Okay, then after the exam, I will invite Brother Chen again." β
Chen Tang replied lightly: "Let's talk about it then." β
Seeing his indifferent attitude, Fan Xuan smiled, said a few more words, and left.
When he got outside, Fan Yuan said indignantly: "Invite him to drink, and push back and forth, our Fan family, but the Qinzhou Wang clan, I don't know how many people can't come." β
Fan Xuan said: "People are different, you don't have to be noisy." β
Fan Yuan pursed his lips a little disappreciatively, if it weren't for the fact that Fan Xuan had repeatedly told him before he came, in front of Chen Tang, he would have had a seizure.
