Chapter 104 Spring Tour

Although the spring break was sweet, it was still too short. After the seal was opened, the affairs of the court became very busy, and the promotion of new grains was put on the agenda. The prince went to the palace every day to report the progress of the promotion of grains to Xiao Yan.But now in Beijing, it is Chunwei who bears the brunt.

The big imperial examination held every three years, Meng Tianen has increased the number of quotas this year, the whole capital city is full of candidates rushing for the exam, all the shops, temples, and taverns are full of people, the houses in the capital city They are all rented out.

All the treasures of astronomy and geography produced by Qin Tianjian's calendar were snapped up by the merchants and merchants from all over the country. In the end, it was forced to limit the purchase of one per person. According to the rules of selling in the store, but there are still many well-known names that have not been bought every time, and finally bought a set of almanacs in frustration and left, saying that it is a set, naturally because this almanac is actually divided into series, four A set of big beauties, a set of Xingyue Xuelei, and a set of plum, orchid, chrysanthemum, and bamboo. In short, a famous painter in the capital was invited to draw and print them. I bought a few sets and sent them back to my classmates and fellow villagers.

In the storefront of Qin Tianjian, there are notices posted prominently.It turned out that Qin Tianjian recruited teachers for stargazing and mathematics schools. After all, the current Qin Tianjian officials are too busy, and occasional teaching alone can no longer meet the needs of children who are very serious about learning, let alone waiting until After the Star Observation Tower in Kyushu is built, it needs more manpower.

Fan Zuosi then came up with an idea, saying that he could recruit among the applicants who went to Beijing. There were always unsuccessful applicants, and the cost of entering Beijing was huge, so some people simply lived in Beijing for a few years and waited for the next Enke. If it can be recruited, that would be great.So it was decided, and began to recruit mathematics teachers, geography teachers, agronomy teachers, and astronomy teachers for the Guanxiang School, and provided accommodation. The bundle was rich, and it was posted on the most eye-catching wall of the almanac sold by Qin Tianjian's printed calendar.

Sure enough, the applicants were full in an instant, but the candidates who met the requirements quickly received a test paper back, and asked to solve the questions first and hand them back as a preliminary screening.

This caused quite a stir in an instant. There were not many questions in each test paper, and a few questions were included in the mathematics, a simple map was placed in the geography, please mark the specific place names, and a few planting questions were included in the agronomy. However, the most eye-catching one is astronomy. There are three questions in total. The first two questions are general. One question explains the relationship between astronomical phenomena and the weather of the four seasons. "

What attracts the attention of this question is not the question itself, but the brightly marked "Imperial System" on this question, which means that this question was written by the emperor himself!As long as you answer well, you will have a chance to let the emperor see your answer sheet!This is a great opportunity!This topic was passed around ten times and hundreds of times, and in an instant countless candidates flocked to Qin Tianjian, just to get a paper on astronomy.

As for guest houses, restaurants, and fellow countrymen's poetry and essay meetings, it was inevitable that this imperial question was brought up for discussion, and many students directly invested in banks and were recruited by the academicians of the imperial court. The ministers were also shocked. , What is the way of heaven has become a hot topic in the capital.

Luyangzhuang is still the best place in the capital. The Princess Protector is raising the crown prince, so many scholars will naturally save to hold literary and poetry meetings in Luyangzhuang. If someone accidentally falls into the eyes of the prince or princess , that is soaring into the sky, even if the princess and the crown prince rarely come, aren't there other dignitaries?

It is early spring, the willows are like smoke, the grass buds are fresh and green.

The busiest place in Lvyang Village is the Banshan Tea House. Here, a bamboo pavilion is built along the winding mountain as a teahouse. It is separated by shrubs, flowers, and bamboo clumps. There are streams winding down from the mountain. And down.The scenery is elegant, and the water can flow. You can make tea here by paying for a pot of tea and the tea room. You can sit here all day, and the tea room and the tea room can visit each other, which is a good way to make friends. Therefore, it has become the best place for poor scholars to gather together on poetry and writing.

"Tao can be said, very Tao! Your Majesty asked this question, and his intention is definitely not Tao! It is to view people with Tao..." The disciples are drinking tea and talking at the tea house on the hillside of Lvyangzhuang. Those who discuss the astronomy exam questions, those who recite poems, and those who play flute, are busy.

Suddenly they heard the sound of horseshoes, and the literati were a little surprised. After all, it has never been allowed to enter Luyangzhuang by horse. The reins in his hand were casually wrapped around the willow tree at the foot of the mountain. The white horse was wearing a golden saddle.

But the man held the horse whip upside down in his hand, and walked up the stone steps with brisk steps. He was wearing a white robe that was as clean as the wind and snow, and he walked on the mountain path, as if half of the mountain was illuminated.

Someone murmured and sighed: "How can there be such a barbarian?"

It was only then that someone noticed that the man had very eye-catching blond hair, like flowing gold. The sun shone on it, reflecting a layer of bright and soft light, just like the arrival of the East King. When he got closer, he saw The pupil color is light, also different from the Central Plains people.

However, he has a very slender body, a gorgeous crown and clothes, a golden crown with silk on his hair, thin pure gold bracelets and large necklaces of crystal gemstones on his neck, wrists and waist. It would only be vulgar for ordinary men to wear so many gold ornaments , this one just looks as clear and clear as snow, because his temperament is too noble and awe-inspiring, no one compares him with the Hu merchants that can be seen everywhere on the street, but he is more like the god in the temple.

Someone had already recognized the identity of the person who came, but they didn't dare to go forward at all, they just whispered timidly: "It's the Master Tongwei from Qin Tianjian."

Everyone is awe-inspiring, even if they don't know each other before, they have seen the star observation tower in their own prefectures and counties, and bought the almanac after entering Beijing. Tianjian is the hottest department.

The Lich has sensitive eyes and ears, and has heard these discussions a long time ago, but he has a special appearance, and he has long been accustomed to these gazes and discussions. He traveled all the way and soon reached the top of the mountain, but there was another mountaintop chef there. Wei Fanjun strongly recommends it, but today the Lich came to Lvyangzhuang for business, so he came to this little chef to taste the taste, but he didn't expect that there are so many people on this mountain, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. I'm afraid it won't be convenient for Xiao Yan to come here later But that's all, I didn't come here today to eat, and let's put that matter first.

His expression was indifferent, and he walked all the way to the top of the mountain. Zhu Rufeng had come out to meet him. Seeing the expression on the emperor's face, he knew that he was a little upset. In the building, I walked down again, turned into the tunnel, and walked to the bottom underground cell, explaining: "At that time, I wanted to find a suitable and unobtrusive place to be held secretly. I'm afraid that the emperor and your place will be dirty, so the son-in-law ordered this place, saying that the more people there are, the more unexpected it will be."

Lich nodded slightly: "It doesn't matter, I will understand after a while."

Turning around several doors, there was a low roar, Gan Rulin and Sun Xuexiao greeted them, and saluted when they saw the lich: "I have seen the emperor."

The Lich slightly raised his hand to signal his disclaimer, his golden eyes turned and he understood: "Congratulations both of you."

Sun Xuexiao lowered her face, her eyelashes trembling slightly: "Thank you, Master Emperor, for your kindness in rebuilding."

Gan Rulin bowed solemnly from behind, and the Lich said, "It's okay, this is your blessing."

But Sun Xuexiao said: "Please also give me a name, my lord."

Lich is not good at this, so he had to prevaricate: "I'll ask your emperor to give you a name. She's a girl, so lucky, you can start with a nickname Fu'er."

Sun Xuexiao quickly thanked her, but the Lich had already entered the deepest mithril cage, and she saw the red, faceless beast howling in the cage, its eyes were full of fierce light.

The Lich stretched out his hand lightly, and the slender white bone claws appeared, setting off countless cold lights in the air. As the snowflakes swirled, countless runes appeared out of thin air, and the ferocious beast lay on the ground in chaos. Slowly, those hideous limbs turned back into humans The appearance of siblings, and the face slowly changed back to a human face.

Sun Heng curled up on the ground, suddenly his mind became clear, and he started to cry: "Xue Xiao! Xue Xiao! I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for your mother!"

Sun Xuexiao's face was indifferent, and she said lightly: "Father, Sun Xuexiao has been dead for a long time, and what is in front of your eyes with mother is nothing more than an unwilling ghost."

Sun Heng obviously still remembers all the strange things that happened to his daughter over the years. Now he is very clear-headed and understands that what his daughter said is not wrong. He was confused by power and lost his daughter and wife that night: "The Queen Mother... He is also a pitiful person, if you have hatred, then hate me..." Sun Xuexiao ignored him with ice-cold face, Sun Heng was crying and asked in a hoarse voice: "Your brothers and brothers..."

Sun Xuexiao said indifferently: "The entire Sun family was exiled in Liaozhou. I gave them some money to live and live in order to ensure that they can go to the border safely. As for the future, it all depends on whether they can stand up."

Sun Heng shed a few tears and looked at Lich, who said indifferently: "You have already been swallowed by resentment, this is the last bit of soul, you can't save your life, this is to give you a little clarity, let you say goodbye to your daughter ——If you are willing, I will search your soul, find out the whereabouts of my beloved pet, and the process of creating such a beast like you."

Sun Heng's face was blank for a while: "I don't know how I became like that, I just know that one night, I heard the cry of a baby in the study, and after I walked out, I lost my mind and didn't know what to do, only feeling confused all the time, you Search for the soul, just for the sake of my cooperation, I can give the Sun family a chance."

He bowed down, and the expression on his face gradually melted again, turning into a mess.

The lich stretched out its bone claws again, and the inexhaustible soul strands were pulled out from the beast. The whole cave became extremely cold, as if thousands of ghosts were crying and howling.Zhu Rufeng's face changed slightly, and he almost couldn't stand still. He only felt his whole body was terrified, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Sun Xuexiao and Gan Rulin's faces remained unchanged. Seeing Zhu Rufeng like this, Gan Rulin said, "Xuexiao go out with General Zhu. It's not good to stay here for a long time. Your body is different now."

Sun Xuexiao also valued this child very much, took a deep look at the chaotic ball huddled on the ground, and knew that her father was no longer there, so she walked out with Zhu Rufeng as she said.

This is the first time Zhu Rufeng has seen the soul body of a lich, and his whole body has been icy cold, until he walked outside, and the spring was bright, and then he calmed down a little: "Is that... sir's Dharma image?"

Sun Xuexiao smiled slightly: "Why didn't Young Master Wei come over today?"

Zhu Rufeng knew that Sun Xuexiao didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't ask, and just said: "New Year, I was detained at home by my old man..." His face was slightly embarrassed: "I see relatives every day."

Sun Xuexiao couldn't help laughing: "Seeing relatives? There are always few relatives on Mr. An's side, right? Why do we have to see each other for so many days? It seems that they are all distant branches?"

Zhu Rufeng coughed softly: "Well, some distant relatives came to Beijing while Chunwei was in full swing, and brought a lot of children here, running around the house, and the old Duke asked him to take the playboy with him." Following An Guogong's orders, he brought his own children to Beijing, and wanted to pick a good-looking and smart heir for Wei Fanjun.

Wei Fanjun was still ignorant, completely unaware that his grandfather had seen through the two of them a long time ago, and he just smiled and thought that An Guogong was old and afraid of loneliness, so he wanted to recruit relatives and children to take care of him.

Sun Xuexiao also smiled slightly when she heard it: "The child is indeed cute."

The two of them were talking, but they saw another small sedan chair with a green top was being carried up the mountain from the bottom of the mountain. But they also knew that this was not an ordinary person, and they all looked at the sedan chair in awe.

Zhu Rufeng said in a low voice: "The holy driver has arrived."

Sun Xuexiao said softly: "Ah, so fast? I don't know if the sir's soul search is over... I thought the emperor would be at least after sunset..."

Zhu Rufeng said in his heart, how can these two be willing to be separated for a while, wishing to stick together with glue every day.He just turned his head and confessed that the food could be served inside, and went up to greet Sheng Jia again.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a woman in white clothes suddenly flashed out from the bamboo shadows in the nearby tea room, and jumped on the small sedan chair. Before countless guards stepped forward to stop her, she threw herself on the ground and raised her face , tears filled: "My lord! The little girl has a wrong!"

Zhu Rufeng sweated all of a sudden.

Under the blue sky and broad daylight, Dai Xiao, a civilian girl, stopped her and cried for injustice!

However, it was Sheng Jia who stopped him!

And what the literati like to watch most is this strange incident of stopping people and calling for injustice, and they have already surrounded them. It looks rich or expensive in this sedan chair, not to mention that Emperor Tongwei has just passed by before, so I don't know what is inside this sedan chair. Who is it, today's matter must be a big event!
