The two of them were overjoyed when they heard this, and the people around them looked envious, jealous and hateful, so they had to congratulate loudly and look forward to it. Only the faces of the few who loudly mocked Meng's private school just now turned into pig liver color, and there was no more senseless arrogance just now.

Han Ling was dragged into the crowd by the excited Meng Ju, squeezed to the front, and sealed a bag of money for the little official, and the same was true for Na Hexuan, but it didn't seem to be as generous as the Meng family.

He came to meet Meng, a poor student with the same name as himself, and said with a smile on his face: "In Xia Hexuan, Brother Han is really a young talent, and his fate is not shallow. ”

Han Ling also smiled lightly: "The younger brother has a deep friendship with the junior brother, and I often hear him mention it." It's better to see than to hear, today's surprise is surprising and happy enough, it's better for the little brother to be the east, you and I will go to the restaurant to celebrate the banquet. ”

"That's embarrassing!"

"I'll come, I'll come. ”

The two sides competed, after all, it was in response to the iron law, the richest and the most entertained, Meng Ju was the east, and the local chain Tianxianglou was set up for a banquet.

At this moment, one after another, small officials ran through the door, shouting out their names and rankings, and these people who received the notice were all qualified to participate in the palace examination. Among the people who came with Han Ling, in the end, except for a Meng clan who didn't know much about him, the rest of them all passed smoothly.

The one who fell off the list was very young, and he knew that he still had a chance, but he was not too depressed, and he also went to Tianxianglou with a large group of people.

Tianxianglou is really one of the first choices for wine banquets, like spring grass vigorously developed in the major cities of Daqi. I heard that the first Tianxianglou was established in the Muqing Imperial City a hundred years ago, and after the development of the family, it has today's scale. The top is hard, and the waist is hard. Tianxianglou seems to be related to the Chaozhong Palace.

The weather has changed from rainy a few days ago to cloudless, and the banquet is really full of delicious food and wine. Everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and when they came and went, it was decided that Han Ling and He Xuan would not participate in the martial arts test first, and the rest such as Meng Ju and others would have results in Huatian.

Han Ling was still young, and he was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't feel like he was drunk, so he refused again and again.

A student lowered his voice and said to He Xuan: "Ah Xuan, this little boy has a lot of alcohol, and several of him are a little drunk, and he has no reaction at all. ”

He Xuan squinted his eyes and smiled: "Extraordinary people must be extraordinary, this kid is interesting." ”

There was an uncle sitting at the table next to him, one-armed and one-eyed, drinking and enjoying himself.

He looked decadent, and when he heard He Xuan's words, he glanced at Han Ling, and quickly retracted it, repeating it several times. Han Ling was a little uncomfortable a few times, but when he looked back, the man was bowing his head and pouring wine.

Han Ling didn't know that they were talking here, and he didn't know that he had become a wine vat in the eyes of everyone, but fortunately, they were all big and moderate, and the celebration banquet didn't last long before it ended, but in the end there was an interesting incident.

When he went downstairs, the uncle walked in front, and everyone saw him and greeted the shopkeeper:

"Boy, bring me an eagle. ”

The shopkeeper nodded and smiled: "Let's go, let's go." To say small, your eagle is very obedient, standing all the time, not flying or moving. ”

The uncle just bowed his head slightly and did not answer, and silently went to fetch the eagle. The shopkeeper held the eagle to his shoulder, and his movements were cautious, as if he was afraid that the majestic eagle falcon would blind him.

Everyone was curious to see that the eagle, though it did not sing or fly, looked forward to it, and its fur was shiny, its beak was sharp, and its feet were withered, and it seemed to be much more energetic than his master.

The uncle's face was vicissitudes, and he disappeared into the sea of people with an eagle at once. Han Ling went out to look in that direction, and he didn't even have a figure completely.

Around the corner, the streets are bustling with people.

The uncle said in a low voice, "What do you think?"

The eagle rolled his eyes, shook his head, and said: "Mu Yi, that kid is strange, but I don't understand, maybe it will be better for Lao Bai to come." ”

The uncle touched his chin and thought for a few times, looked in the direction of the Hanling Inn, and said with a smile:

"Anyway, if you don't lose it, it's still a long time. ”

The prosperity of Huatian has lost the wind, frost, rain and snow of the border town, and the fierceness of Jin Ge Iron Horse is here after all, and the wine is sad, and it is ten miles of red silk. There are always strange people coming and going, whether it is a famous prostitute in the south, a disabled soldier, or a wandering poet...... And where is there a mysterious visitor with an eagle?

Han Ling returned to the hotel and fell asleep in a daze, and the next day he went to the Muqing Imperial City with He Xuan and the others, and took a road and carriage all the way to the bumpy road.

The further south the temperature, the higher the temperature, on this day, Han Ling was eating chilled melons and fruits in the car, pulling his collar and shaking a small fan, and was told that he had come outside the city.

He Xuan had already been familiar with him all the way, and said with a smile: "I heard that Brother Han has not been to the Imperial City yet, so it is better for you and me to get out of the car and walk, so as to enjoy the grandeur of the thousand-year-old city." ”

At this time, the midsummer is about to pass, and when it is the hottest, Han Ling is thinking that there is not enough ice in the car, and it is very hot, so he readily got out of the car.

He lifted the curtain, leaned under one foot on the ground, and at the same time turned his head to look at the Muqing Imperial City-

What a city this is!

The blue-black masonry stands tall. Moats, suspension bridges, sluice towers, arrow towers, main buildings, corner towers, enemy towers, battlements series of facilities are readily available, and you can feel that there is a momentum pressing over you when you look at it from a distance. The people on the drawbridge shouted and neighed, but it was not chaotic, and under the command and care of the soldiers, they entered and exited the city in an orderly manner.

Time has destroyed its vicissitudes, it is the pale green color between the stone crevices, and it is the afterglow that is so beautiful that it is suffocating under the sunset. It is like an angry King Kong, towering, protecting Mu Qing's subjects, and I don't know how many winds and snows it has experienced.

It is just the time of sunset, and the sky is a brilliant cloud intertwined with pink, purple and light orange, densely spread on the city tower, sacred and solemn.

The two of them unconsciously moved forward with the body, but they were attracted by this beautiful scenery for a long time.

Coachman: "...... Two young masters, you're about to get to the horse......"

Han Ling: "......"

On the other hand, He Xuan scratched his head embarrassedly: "The Imperial City is really magnificent, coming here is a new feeling, it is really worthy of the Imperial City, and it can also afford the name of Mu Qing." ”

Mu Qing. Mu Qing.

Bathing in Qinghua, virtue is the four seas, Ze is born, thousands of years.

The name of the city, one look at the province, the other listen to the central government. However, Mu Qing was personally set by the founding emperor. This kind of majestic name is not suitable for every city.

A few people paid the road money, read the documents, and then entered the city freely. After a doorway, you enter a new world - this capital is a new atmosphere than the central capital of the state:

In the summer of the imperial capital, the emerald pheasants are flying, and the jade is racing. Every house is lively, and every house is noisy. The bluestone street is wide and clear, and the pedestrians are wide and shoulder to shoulder. The men's clothes are well-dressed, the text is upright and martial, and the women's dresses are full of gold and jade, and they are colorful and dizzying.

There are street vendors walking through the streets and alleys, and there are even more doormen who solicit business; there are women in red and green clothes leaning on the upper floors and squinting and winning, and there are also serious officials swaying in sedan chairs on the street. Obviously, there is no place that is not noisy, but I just feel that this place is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and everyone is weathered.

Students from all over the city have come to the city, a few people randomly chose a fair price to live in, after everything is arranged, take advantage of the few days to spare, travel to other students, meet celebrities, or enjoy the weather of the imperial city, visit the night market, eat tea and watch the play, but also leisurely travel.

However, in the past few days, Han Ling has seen and heard some other things from it.

On the surface of prosperity, there will also be a cold and dirty dark river flowing underneath. This Great Qi Dynasty is like a big red peony, the outside is fresh and bright, and the inside has exuded a sweet fragrance like rot.
