The majesty of the imperial capital is incomparable to any city in this era, even the Wanjing that the Nanzhao people are proud of, is less than one-third of the size of the imperial capital, and every time the people of Great Qin come here, they will unnaturally produce a sense of pride.

Of course, this kind of majesty is just ordinary for Qin Han, who has experience in his previous life, and of course, he can't help but be a little surprised that such a high city wall can be built in this era without any machinery.

The coachman couldn't help but be a little surprised by Qin Han's indifferent expression, in his opinion, Yanzi's stunned, uncertain eyes were the reaction that people who came here for the first time should have, so he said, "Has Childe ever been here?"

Qin Han shook his head with a smile, and the coachman continued to wonder, "Could it be that Gongzi has seen a better person than Dijing?"

"Not really. ”

"That son's heart at such an age is admirable, but if I tell Childe, this is only one of the eighteen cities in the imperial capital, I wonder if Childe will still be like this?"

Hearing that the coachman said this, Qin Han was really a little surprised, the Xiongcheng in front of him was only one of the eighteen cities of the imperial capital, and he also had a little yearning for the main city of the imperial capital, and the coachman showed a satisfied expression when he saw Qin Han like this.

After saying goodbye to the coachman, the three of them slowly walked towards the city in front of them, all kinds of people came and went along the way, I heard the iron hand once said that the population of the imperial capital is more than two million people, the peddlers and pawns, Zhuang Ding Caogong, literati and ink writers, Langzhong craftsmen and so on, all kinds of people gather here, and the emperor is not prosperous.

Xu Huang is obviously no stranger to this place, when he was about to walk to the city gate, he took off the layer of cloth on his body, opened the package on his shoulder, and after a while, the official uniform of the Gongfu Inspector's Mansion was already neatly dressed, and then looked at Qin Han and Yanzi on the side and said: "What are you still doing in a daze, let's go!"

In fact, there were only four cities in the beginning, which means that there were only four after the exit, which was still possible at the beginning, but as more and more people took root here, the imperial capital also became the second commercial center of Daqin, and only four exports naturally could not meet the needs of trade.

Therefore, in the past hundred years, the scale and city planning have been continuously improved, but no matter how the safety of the imperial capital is still put in the first place, so it has gradually become the appearance of eighteen cities and eighteen exits, such a large scale This makes Qin Han sigh all the way, no city can catch up with Shenjing, in the ancient times of the previous life, there is no one who can compare, even the scale of the capital is only its general size.

Fortunately, there is Xu Huang, who knows the way of the old horse, to lead the way in front, otherwise he must be lost in it, Yanzi is naturally excited, and there is no sense of irritability in the crowd, it seems that this is a common problem of women, and the impatience on Qin Han's face has also been vividly expressed.

There is no way, the stinky sweat all over his body has already glued his clothes and body together, Qin Han is not a loach, so he naturally doesn't like this feeling, but it is strange to say, it stands to reason that the temperature in Dijing in September in previous years has already dropped, but this year is still like August.

"Shortbread!"

"Sesame cake!"

Yanzi looked at the stalls on the side of the street, saliva was almost flowing to his chin, Qin Han couldn't help but sigh when he looked at this scene, if he said that he would have to eat enough with her the rest of the time, but at this time, there was really no Yaxing, the swallow at this moment was almost dragged by Qin Han, but Qin Han stopped until the next breath.

"Sell cold noodles! a bowl of pennies!"

This emperor actually has jelly, he was good at this in his previous life, but he didn't expect to meet it today, and eating a bowl of jelly in this weather is a very pleasant thing, so he took the two of them straight to the jelly shop.

is a little different from the one who sells cold powder with a burden or a cart under the influence of Qin Han, this store is not like the rest of the vendors who sell on the street, even if there is a storefront, it is extremely cramped, and this store is not only decorated with antique colors, but the whole store is also relatively spacious, and there is no problem with more than a dozen people, which is an incredible thing in the imperial capital where every inch of land is valuable.

Xu Huang seemed to see what Qin Han was thinking, and said while eating cold noodles: "This shop has existed longer than Daqin, so it's not surprising that there is such a storefront. ”

It turned out to be a time-honored brand, and it was not the kind of merchant who dared to call a time-honored brand casually for decades, at least two hundred years old, and it really deserved this title, Yanzi didn't seem to be very cold about the food of cold powder, and absent-mindedly had a chopstick without a chopstick, Qin Han shook his head helplessly, and took out some scattered silver and put it in front of Yanzi.

Seeing the situation, Yanzi hurriedly put the broken silver in her arms, and then hugged Qin Han's arm for a while, and then ran out to buy the sesame cake that she had already coveted.

The location of the Inspector's Mansion is in the northernmost part of the imperial capital, almost under the walls of the imperial city, and Qin Han came in from the southernmost city of the imperial capital, and there is naturally a long road in the middle, and it took about half an hour to reach the northern city of the imperial capital.

Shunjing Building, listening to this name, I felt very atmospheric, but when Xu Huang told him that there were as many as four or five places in the imperial capital just called this name, Qin Han also seemed to feel unremarkable, and the first thing Qin Han did after living down was to take a shower happily, and then I believe that the rest of the people would also make such a choice.

However, after Xu Huang settled Qin Han, he went to the Inspector's Mansion to report as soon as possible, due to the problem of identity, Qin Han naturally did not go clearly, and when Xu Huang was leaving, he told him more than once, don't make trouble, this is different from Xu Yang, it is really not as good as a dog in five grades, and three grades are all over the ground, if you are still as arrogant as before, I am afraid that you don't even know how to die, after Qin Han patted his chest and made a guarantee, Xu Huang left with peace of mind, and he had to wait patiently for Xu Huang's news, Yanzi always seems to have enough to see everything around him, and even the time to eat is always to look at this, look at that。

And after these few days of contact, Yanzi didn't have the initial respect for Qin Han, as if she was really her own brother, she always stuck to him and asked questions, Qin Han was also happy in her heart, which showed that she really regarded herself as a big brother.

But soon Qin Han's attention was attracted by a few people at the adjacent table, these people were dressed as scholars, and one of them looked out of place with the rest of them in brocade and jade robes, but it did not affect their interest in drinking at all.

One of the scholars, surnamed Wang, said: "You have all said it, this time it is time for me to solve the question!"

"Come on, who is afraid that you will not succeed," the other three laughed.

"I'm going to make it more difficult this time. As he spoke, he picked up the wine in the cup and said: "The four of us are a round, and each round will add a glass of wine, let me say a poem first, this poem should carry a word, the first word of the first sentence from my beginning is this, and so on, the second word of Brother Li's poem will be this word, Brother Xie will be the third, until the fourth after the start of a round, but it must be this word, everyone understands?"

"It's easy to say, I can't wait to see you drink!" "The scholar surnamed Xie said with a smile and contempt.

The scholar surnamed Jiao smiled and said, "When you cry in a while, my word is a flower!" As soon as he said this, the other three began to think hard and meditate.

The scholar surnamed Jiao naturally didn't give them too much time, so he said bluntly: "The flowers are ruthless, and people are affectionate!"

The young man surnamed Li, who was dressed in brocade and jade robes, shook the folding fan and said confidently: "Falling flowers and flowing water are bitter and heartbreaking!"

"Flowers bloom and fall and spring again!"

When he waited for the fourth scholar surnamed Chang, he couldn't help but get stuck, only to see him scratching his ears and scratching his head, looking like he was meditating, and the other three looked at each other and smiled, and the young man surnamed Jiao smiled and said: "Brother Chang, I will only give you three breaths of time, if you can't think of it, you will admit defeat!"

"One breath!"

"Two breaths!"

"The pear blossoms are full of tangs in March!" When the scholar surnamed Chang said it at the last second, he was already sweating profusely, drinking was small, and it was a big shame, coupled with the hot weather, it naturally became like this, and everyone seemed to be accustomed to it, and started the next round of games.

I saw that the scholar surnamed Jiao poured another full glass of wine and put it in the middle and said, "Who will scoop the spring mud in the flowers!"

"There is nowhere to leave the flying flowers!"

"What's the reason for the flowers to bloom!"

"Strange faces are like flowers, and people are hard to go!"

I don't know what the scholar surnamed Jiao thinks, he didn't start the third round according to the previous rules, but said with the fourth flower: "Spring goes to autumn and flowers are always there!"

The young man surnamed Li scolded with a smile: "You kid is digging a pit for us!"

"Hehe, the rules have been set before, if you don't want to continue, it's okay to start all over again. ”

Since ancient times, the wine field has been a loser and not a loser, and since the other party has made his moves, he has to continue even if he is hard-headed, so he said: "You kid changed the formation on the spot, but you can give me three more breaths." After that, he began to meditate.

"Just give you three more breaths. ”

After waiting for four breaths, the young man surnamed Li's eyes lit up and said, "Spring City Spring Moon Spring Flowers Bloom!"

When it came to the scholar surnamed Xie, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, he didn't come up with it after thinking about it for a long time just now, so he counted on the young man surnamed Li in front of him and couldn't say it, this is good, people said it, and he was cold.

After six breaths, he had to sit on the stool and laugh, it stands to reason that this is already the third round, naturally it is full of three glasses of wine, just when he wants to say something, there is a voice that makes everyone stunned.

"Turn into spring mud to protect flowers!"

It was none other than Qin Han who made this sound, I saw him walk slowly in front of the four of them, arched his hand and said with a smile: "I don't know if this sentence can be counted?"

Everyone looked at each other at first, and then laughed, and the young man surnamed Li laughed even more: "Brother Tai's sentence is naturally counted, but it can't be counted on Brother Xie's head!"

The scholar surnamed Xie, who was still smiling at the beginning, immediately collapsed his face after hearing this, and reluctantly picked up the three full glasses of wine on the table and began to drink, and everyone laughed and bent down when they saw this.

This cup is not like the wine glass when you usually drink, but a cup specially made when you are drinking, almost every restaurant will have it, one cup is more than half a catty, and the sum of three glasses is almost two catties, Qin Han had to look at the brother pitifully.

"Didn't Brother Tai Mo also stay in the Imperial Capital to prepare for the examination for a few months?" The young man surnamed Li wondered, after all, Qin Han looked younger than them, if he was admitted to the examination at such a young age, he really deserved the word genius, but this possibility was very small, that is, he asked tentatively.

The oldest of these people was the scholar surnamed Xie, who was already twenty years old, and the rest were only sixteen or seventeen years old, and now Qin Han, who was almost thirteen years old, was naturally very abrupt, and it was thanks to Qin Han who had learned about this before, otherwise he would definitely be confused by them today.

It stands to reason that those who fail in the annual examination have to take the government examination in the place of household registration two years later before they can have the opportunity to enter the Beijing examination, and there are nearly 1,000 people who enter Beijing to participate in the examination every year, but each imperial court will only admit the top 300 to become jinshi, and the rest of the people will either go back to prepare for the re-examination in two years, or they can go back to their hometowns to find an errand in the yamen with their talents, of course, the grade will not be too high.

But among the three hundred jinshi, there are naturally those who think that they could have taken the test better, but for various reasons, although they were admitted to the jinshi, they were not very satisfied, all of which could have been said to have been determined, but in the Hongzheng period, the emperor personally issued an edict to give these people the opportunity to retake the exam, of course, this opportunity is only once, limited to two hundred candidates.

Nearly ninety percent of the scholars who stayed in the capital were among the 100 to 200 scholars, and their families were poor and in remote places, so it would take several months and a lot of money to come here, so they simply stayed in the capital and waited for the next exam.

And their identity is a real jinshi, maybe they will be prominent in the future, so after the store in the capital knows their identity, whether it is accommodation or eating and drinking, they will give great discounts, counting on who will have a developed time in the future, not forgetting the help they gave at the beginning, such examples can be said to be many in the imperial capital.

Chunmanlou, one of the largest restaurants in Dijing, is like this, and Wei Kaiyang, the secretary of the ministry, helped each other when he was young, and Wei Kaiyang was only more than one hundred and fifty when he took the first exam, and the second time he was a high school tanhua, and now he is a very human minister.
