Li Ang asked, "Does this have any impact?"
"Initial guidance is equivalent to using spiritual energy to reopen a meridian that is innately sealed in the human body."
Pu Liuxuan frowned and said: "The practice method promoted by the Academy has been practiced for more than three hundred years. It is relatively safe and reliable, and accidents are rarely heard of.
If the spiritual veins are in the head...it's hard to tell."
He thought about it seriously and said, "Let's do this. When you arrive in Chang'an, let your senior brother go to Xuegong Library to search for information and look for past cases.
Usually, the first two rounds of tests in the academy do not impose restrictions on spiritual vein talents, so you can spend time preparing more properly.
in addition..."
Pu Liuxuan hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "After arriving in Chang'an, don't mention my name to outsiders casually.
When I was a teacher, I offended some people because of something."
"Who is there?"
Li Ang asked curiously, and his mind instantly filled up hundreds of thousands of words of the annual emotional drama of love, resentment, and resentment.
Pu Liuxuan said casually: "Not many, just a few generals, a few prime ministers, and a few princes, princes, and princes."
"Wha, what?"
Li Ang couldn't hide the shock in his tone, "Teacher, did you plot to rebel back then?"
"Go, go, go, if I plan to rebel, can I still sit here and chat with you?"
Pu Liuxuan laughed and said: "Anyway, it's good that you know this.
Chang'an is a mixed bag, so remember to be cautious before entering the academy.
With the status of a disciple of the Academy, you have the capital to move around among various forces and make a name for yourself."
"Disciple knows."
Li Ang nodded in agreement, but he was still thinking about what Pu Liuxuan had done and was driven out of Chang'an City.
There are not many things that can offend the prime minister, generals, princes and princes at the same time. After ruling out the possibility of treason, there are only a few things left.
Could it be that Pu Liuxuan was so suave back then that he abducted Chang'an's No. 1 Jiaofang Si Qingguo?
No, no, no, that's too ridiculous. Even if the dignified Duke of the county is jealous of a woman, he won't make it so ugly.
Could it be that Pu Liuxuan practiced evil sect skills back then, and in order to experience the world of mortals and polish his character, he pretended to be a henchman of the Jiaofang and played in the world. In the end, the incident was exposed and he was angry and resented by the powerful?
Are you Jian Suyan?
Pu Liuxuan sipped tea calmly, completely unaware that his image in Li Ang's mind was becoming strange.
clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang --
The noisy sound of firecrackers and drums came from far away. Pu Liuxuan put down his tea cup and said with a smile: "The carriage is here to pick you up. Let's go."
"Um."
Li Ang picked up the two boxes of luggage that he had prepared long ago, walked out of the courtyard with Pu Liuxuan and Chai Cuiqiao, and locked the door.
Pu Liuxuan didn't want to be seen by outsiders, so he left first.
Li Ang and Chai Cuiqiao came to the main entrance of Security Hall through the alley, and saw Song Shaoyuan, wearing an elegant blue shirt, standing at the door of Lansheng Building, with a smile on his lips, full of ambition, and saying goodbye to his relatives and friends in a high mood.
And his mother, Aunt Song, also stood behind with a proud look on her face, but occasionally she would secretly wipe her tears when no one was paying attention.
"Sunrise!"
Aunt Song wiped her reddish eyes, quietly beckoned Li Ang over, took his hand and said softly: "You grew up under my watch, just like my nephew.
I heard that Chang'an rice dishes are more expensive than anything else, so take this one."
She took out a red envelope and stuffed it into Li Ang's hand. It was so heavy that it felt like it was filled with gold pieces and flying money.
"Auntie, I can't accept this."
Li Ang wanted to refuse, but Aunt Song said: "If you don't need it, take it with you. The gold pieces can be sewn into the middle of your clothes, just in case.
Shao Yuan is good at everything, but he is too honest and loyal.
Risheng, you are lively and alert, help aunt keep an eye on him, don’t ask for admission to the academy, just come back safely..."
"Auntie, Chang'an is not some devil's cave that eats people but doesn't spit out their bones. It's about the laws of Yu."
Li Ang looked helplessly at the determined Aunt Song, and had no choice but to accept the red envelope and put it in his pocket.
At this time, the bearer of the good news had already arrived at the foot of the Zhenzhou Bridge. He held up a poster with congratulations written on it and walked to the door of Lansheng Tower.
What arrived next was a fleet of more than a dozen luxury carriages, each carrying students who were going to Chang'an for the examination, as well as the students' luggage and servants.
The proud Song Shaoyuan and his mother said goodbye to their relatives and friends, and boarded the penultimate carriage alone. Li Ang and Chai Cuiqiao boarded the last carriage. When they got on the carriage, they saw many familiar faces in the crowd.
Superintendent Xun from the Department of Supervision of Animal Husbandry in Zhenzhou City, the Shad family, Mr. Storyteller surnamed Luo, and Lu Yi and her mother Xi Hui.
A group of people also came to congratulate and bid farewell, and sent them all the way outside the city of Zhenzhou.
"Master,"
Chai Cuiqiao opened the curtains and watched the stone tablets with landmarks on the roadside gradually receding and shrinking in sight. She whispered nervously, "Are we... leaving Zhenzhou now?"
"Um."
Li Ang pressed the medicine box with his palm and nodded nervously.
Chai Cuiqiao has never left the area of Zhenzhou, and neither does he.
Although Xuegong has built a large number of roads and bridges in the past three hundred years, there is no need for the large number of civilians in Yu State who have land to leave their hometown.
Voluntarily leaving one's homeland is usually due to bankruptcy and business considerations.
"Chang'an, Chang'an..."
Chai Cuiqiao muttered the name of the city yearningly and asked awkwardly: "Master, what is Chang'an really like?"
"Prosperous, majestic, rich, open and civilized."
Li Ang has never been to Chang'an, but that doesn't mean he can't pick a few words from newspapers and periodicals to describe it, "I heard that the East and West Markets in Chang'an gather all kinds of goods, food and wine in the world.
I started eating at the first store and ate at one every day. After three years of eating, I still couldn’t finish visiting any city.
In addition to delicious food, there are also fun things.
Cuju, horse racing, opera, sumo wrestling, acrobatics, animal fighting, insect fighting..."
Li Ang paused for a moment, Chang'an was rich and prosperous, and the people were very enthusiastic about developing their own entertainment methods, and they could fight anything.
Not only fights between beasts and insects, but also fights over tea, cards, and wine—the competition among the major guilds in Chang'an is extremely fierce, and numerous competitions are held every year to advertise.
I don’t know if there is any competition to see which gong company has the best quality gongs. The winner every year is called a titled gong.
"Wow,"
Chai Cuiqiao's eyes lit up, "Well, is there a competition to see who can eat more?"
"There should be...right?"
Li Ang said casually: "I heard from my senior brother that there are some restaurant merchants in Chang'an who occasionally launch activities. If you can finish all the meals within the limited time, the whole meal is free."
"Huh? You don't have to pay to eat. Which restaurant is so stupid... Oh, no, it's so conscientious."
Chai Cuiqiao said excitedly: "As expected of Chang'an, the demeanor is just different."
"Why, you also want to change your registered residence and become an honorary Chang'an citizen?"
Li Ang rolled his eyes at Chai Cuiqiao and said, "Don't think too much. I'm not really stupid. I occasionally organize activities to increase my popularity.
You still have to spend money on meals normally.
By the way, how much money do we have?"
"Two hundred and ninety."
When it came to money, Chai Cuiqiao immediately looked around like a weasel who had stolen a chicken. She lowered her voice and said close to Li Ang's ear: "Among them, there are two hundred and fifty strings of flying money, ten strings of coins, and thirty strings."
Pieces of gold and silver."
"Why are you so close? No one in the carriage is eavesdropping."
Li Ang rolled his eyes, these carriages were designed and built by the academy.
Made of fine iron, a large number of gears and springs with complex structures are used, and talismans are attached to the bottom of the vehicle. It not only has first-class shock absorption and sound insulation effects, but also reduces wind resistance and increases the driving speed, which is equal to the speed of a superior horse running at full speed.
I don't know how much money this carriage alone costs - according to Cheng Juxiu, these carriages are not for sale, and even in Chang'an, only a dozen or so nobles can own them.
"Be careful."
Chai Cuiqiao stuck out her tongue and said, "Master, how much is in the red envelope given by Aunt Song?"
"Let me see."
Li Ang opened the red envelope, which contained ten gold leaves and a small stack of flying coins, estimated to be worth about two hundred guan.
"so much?"
Li Ang exclaimed, "Tsk, I owe you more and more favors this time."
"After all, it is Lansheng Building."
Chai Cuiqiao looked at the glittering gold pieces, her eyes shining with a dragon-like greed for money, "It's so shiny, so bright, I like it so much..."
"Bald heads are also very shiny. If you like, you can pick one for yourself."
Li Ang complained about the money-grubbing maid who was obsessed with gold, scratched his head and said: "Well...in the two boxes we brought, there are changes of clothes, scriptures and classics to be tested, and spare pens and paper and inkstones.
You don’t need to buy another one when you arrive in Chang’an.
This convoy will stay in the imperial palace along the way, and the accommodation and food expenses will be borne by the palace, which means that the expenses along the way can also be saved.
You only need to consider the accommodation expenses in Chang'an after that - this cannot be reimbursed at public expense.
I heard from my senior brother that every year, there are more than 6,000 candidates from various prefectures alone who go to Chang'an to prepare for the imperial examination.
There are another 4,000 people - these people are usually international students from foreign countries, those who have received letters of recommendation like me, who have been recommended for admission by the Ministry of War or the Zhenfu Department, as well as young children from clans and ministers' families.
There are tens of thousands of people in total, and there are three months between preparation before the exam and the end of the three rounds of exams.
It is impossible to reimburse everyone's food, clothing, housing and transportation at public expense. Only a few poor students from remote states can receive full subsidies.
And Zhenzhou is relatively wealthy, so it is definitely not qualified."
Chai Cuiqiao said in shock: "Ah? Then where will we stay?"
"I just need to find a place to live. What else can I do?"
Li Ang thought for a while and said: "Usually you live in restaurants and other places, ranging from low, medium to high-end."
