Chapter 144: Eccentric

(Some readers said that they wanted the author to participate in the explosion event, but I was only at the level of Lv1, so I was not qualified to participate...... )

If you are drunk, you know that the wine is strong.

This sleep, Chen Tang slept until dusk the next day, and then woke up leisurely.

He was a spirit, sitting on the bed. My head didn't hurt at all, I was refreshed, and I felt that my body was lighter.

Immediately jumped up, and threw a few punches and kicks in the room.

This is a sign that the breath has grown.

Needless to say, it must be that the effect of those three bowls of good wine is better than a month of hard work in meditation. If you could drink a bowl every day, wouldn't it be developed?

However, there are not many people who drink this kind of wine. Anyway, we've been eating together for so long, and I drank it once last night. may be to congratulate him on successfully completing the exam, so he is willing to take it out.

Chen Tang opened the door and walked out.

Then, as if there was a sense, there was a babbling sound, and the door on the other side was opened, and the sleepy-eyed Taoist scratched his messy hair, and deliberately yawned: "Yo, the scholar woke up earlier than me." ”

Chen Tang made a salute, then remembered something, went outside, and sure enough, he saw a mess after dinner last night, so he quickly rolled up his sleeves and cleaned up.

"The children can be taught!"

When the Taoist saw it, he praised it in his heart. He waited in the room all day, anyway, Chen Tang didn't get up, and he would never go out. Now, the pile of dishes and chopsticks has been cleaned by Chen Tang, and he feels like he has won a battle and feels happy.

"Scholar, you're not happy after you finished the exam?"

The Taoist brought a rattan chair and lay down on it, enjoying the last bit of sunset warmth.

Chen Tang asked: "Where is the fun in the land of the capital?"

Waiting for the release of the list, for two months, nesting in the Taoist temple every day, it was really boring.

The Taoist opened his mouth and replied: "Of course, Fireworks Lane is fun, but it is a bit expensive, the girl likes to put it on the shelf, and she can't let it go, in this regard, it is slightly inferior to Jinling." ”

Hearing this, Chen Tang couldn't help but puff out his eyes, and his face showed a strange look.

Fireworks Lane is indeed a major attraction in Beijing, extremely famous, since ancient times there is a saying of "North Lane South Beach".

The lane is the fireworks lane, and the beach is the Jinling beach in Ningzhou.

There are poems as evidence: the wanderers are all plums, and the songs are all plums;

There are also poems: On the moonlit night of the twenty-four bridges, where does the jade teach.

This is to describe Jinling Beach.

Listening to the kiss of the Taoist, it seems that the north and the south eat together, and they have all been chic, and it is really not serious......

The Taoist seemed to fall into memory: "I think back then, Poor Dao also passed the imperial examination. ”

Hearing this, Chen Tang really felt fresh and curious, but after thinking about it, no one can be a master in the world as soon as he is born, and who has never been young?

"Nonsense. ”

The Taoist pouted: "If I pass the exam, will I still guard this broken Taoist temple?"

Chen Tang is not good to ask again, it seems that the other party is estimated that he has not even been admitted to Xiucai, and he can't reveal people's scars.

The next day, after changing his clothes, Chen Tang began to visit the capital.

It is not easy to enter Beijing, if you can't serve as a Beijing official, the next time you enter Beijing, I don't know how many years later. Now that I have the opportunity and time, of course, I must take a good look at this "No. 1 Heroic City in the World".

Books and other things, all carried on his body, he had already said hello to the Taoist, he would not return to the Taoist temple at night, and would play outside for a while.

The capital is huge, so I can't go out in the morning, and when the time comes, I rush back to the Taoist temple to live, in that case, it's too time-consuming. It's better to go wherever you go, where you live, and enjoy yourself as you go.

There are many scenic spots in the city, and there are lakes and rivers, and when it comes to scenic spots, there are not a hundred, but they have to be dozens. In fact, you don't need to go out of the city, you can be in the city.

However, some good places have basically been fenced off and become royal forest gardens, waiting for idlers and so on, and they can't enter.

For several days in a row, Chen Tang played from the east gate to the west gate, and almost tasted all the local famous food, and walked very happily.

On this day, after coming out of the inn and having breakfast, he decided to go to Yanming Tower.

This tower is a famous place of interest for the Buddha, it is said that it has a history of 1,000 years, when it was built, a group of geese flew in, landed on the top of the tower, chirped several times, so it got its name.

Around this tower, there is a temple, it is called Yanming Temple, and the incense is extremely prosperous.

Chen Tang had some dealings with Daomen, mainly focusing on Fushanguan, and was also quite interested in the Shijia family, which was as famous as Daomen.

In Panzhou, there is the Golden Chan Temple, and the incense is vigorous. Chen Tang once went to see and saw many monks, and there were martial arts practitioners, but the realm seemed to be sloppy, and he did not see a monk who had attained the Tao.

Now in the capital, he wants to go to this famous Yanming Temple to take a walk, open his eyes, if he has the opportunity, he can see the Shijia Zen Gong, which is also beneficial.

After walking for about half an hour, I came to the area of Yanming Temple.

It is really a big temple, covering an area of dozens of acres, and it is full of streets and markets, lively and prosperous. In the distance, I saw an eighteen-story octagonal tower rising from the ground, built on a hillside, flat and stable, and the momentum was good.

Chen Tang walked over, and when he reached the bottom of the hillside, several people came in front of him, but he couldn't dodge.

"Brother Chen, it's really you!"

Fan Xuan looked surprised.

After the exam, he went to the inn to find someone, but found that Chen Tang had left and disappeared, so he was depressed.

I never thought that I hit it under the Yanming Tower today.

Many scholars, during the period of waiting for the opening of the list, basically do not stay in the inn. Ten years of cold window, sitting bored in the morning, after the exam, naturally have to go out to relax, looking for fun. Over there in Fireworks Alley, I have to go once, but it is impossible to drink flower wine every day, the cost is too high to hold on. Therefore, it becomes the first choice to play everywhere.

Yanming Tower is a scenic spot in the capital, and basically will come.

"It turned out to be Brother Fan. ”

Chen Tang bowed his hand.

Fan Xuan said with a smile on his face: "I was about to invite Brother Chen to drink, but I met by chance today, you can't push it back anymore." ”

Chen Tang smiled: "In this way, it is disrespectful." ”

Please ask again, warm and warm, and if you don't agree, it will be unkind.

Besides, the other party is from a big family, has extraordinary knowledge, and making friends is not a bad thing, it is equivalent to expanding the circle of friends.

Seeing him agree, Fan Xuan was overjoyed: "Very good, then let's go together." First have a meal in the temple, and then go to the fireworks alley in the afternoon to have a good drink. ”

Chen Tang asked, "Eat fast?"

Fan Xuan explained: "The food in Yanming Temple is famous far and wide, and you can't eat it when you are free. It just so happened that I knew Master Naruto in the temple, so I arranged it in advance. ”

The implication is that he is quite self-conscious, indicating that he has a wide range of contacts.

Subsequently, Fan Xuan introduced several other people to Chen Tang, in addition to Fan Yuan, there were also three fresh faces, all of whom were famous scholars. There is Wang Ziyu from Changzhou, Su from Jiangzhou, and Guo Xiangheng from Liangzhou.

Hundreds of scholars gathered in the capital to participate in the Son of Heaven Examination, which itself was an extremely important social circle, and it was the norm to make friends and socialize.

It's just that Chen Tang jumped out of the circle, had less contacts, and seemed isolated.

Several people looked at Chen Tang, and their first impression was that they were young, and when they heard that he was Xie Yuan of the current Copan Prefecture, they had a smile. Now that the list has not been opened, I don't know who is behind, and no one dares to despise others. Although it is said that literati are light, it is impossible to open your mouth and make irresponsible remarks. is born with a villain face, and it is difficult to live to be tried by the Son of Heaven.

These characters, like Fan Xuan, are all from local families, typical rich and noble sons, who have hardly suffered much, and now when they travel, they are followed by scholars and maids, and they are waiting for them with big bags and small bags.

When they saw Chen Tang alone, carrying a big book, they immediately understood Chen Tang's family identity, and it was not much better. In everyone's hearts, they were secretly surprised, and they didn't understand why Fan Xuan was so eager. A Panzhou Xie Yuan, although it is good, is not very good. Even if you get a jinshi, in the end, you only start as a low-grade official. If you don't have connections, you can only arrange to do an idle job in a place, which really doesn't have much prospect.

People are different from each other, and the common people feel that being able to eat meat every day is wealth, but for the eunuchs, their position is another vision.

For example, Fan Xuan, who has a series of officials in his family, from grandfather to uncle, from brother-in-law to sister-in-law, are all officials. The highest is already the fourth grade of the imperial court. As for Wang Ziyu and their family, they are not far behind, so these people can come together, and they are by no means just like-minded.

Now that there is one more Chen Tang, it seems a little weird.
