Chapter 194: Entering Beijing
On February 2nd, the dragon raised its head and it was raining.
Spring rain is as moist as crispy and as expensive as oil.
"That's the capital!"
The carriage was slowly moving, and Chen Youniao stood on the shaft of the carriage and looked up, unable to help but sigh.
A majestic city rises from the ground, towering and magnificent as a huge mountain. When you look at it from a distance, you can feel an oncoming oppressive momentum.
In Chen Youniao's Niwan Palace, the Yin God seemed to be suppressed and it was difficult to move, let alone speak out of his body.
It seems to be facing natural enemies and blood suppression.
This scene seemed familiar, and in an instant, I couldn't help but think of the scene when I was exploring the cave to hide and land on the island. However, it was "confinement" at that time, and now it is "suppression".
From this we can see that there must be a large formation in the capital. The formations must be operated, which condenses humanitarian imperial power and can resist all laws.
In contrast, Lao Tan, who is a pure warrior, has little influence, but he also shouted in response: "It's so big!"
The world's number one city, Shou'an, can it not be big?
The big city is full of flowers, and even the suburbs have developed, forming a large area of block markets.
Finally, I arrived at the foot of the emperor, so where would I stay outside? Drive directly into the city.
The carriages were slowly moving on the wide street, with antique buildings lined up with scales, and countless noises came one after another...
In the carriage, Chen Youniao sat quietly, feeling everything around him carefully, and felt more and more wisely that he would come to Beijing without a thrush. With her condition, when she arrived in the city, her soul injury would inevitably worsen and the consequences would be unimaginable.
In addition to being grateful, I felt longing again.
He missed her...
"Sir, where do we live?"
Lao Tan found a place to stop the carriage and asked.
Chen Youniao replied: "Go to the exam to take a look."
A few days ago, Guo Yuanming said, "The capital is big and it is not easy to live in." This is actually an excuse. For ordinary business travelers, the living consumption level in Beijing is indeed very high and difficult to bear, but for scholars who enter Beijing to take the exam, it is not that.
It's the matter. The official subsidy and care are not only available all the way, but also after arriving in the capital. Free accommodation will be arranged. The conditions are not very good, but they are basically acceptable.
In addition, some large inns also offer the banner of free entertaining testimonials. The reason is no different, and it can be regarded as a kind of commercial investment and publicity.
This is the same as when Kaozi set out from his hometown, he often receives strong sponsorship from local gentry and wealthy businessmen.
Therefore, Chen Youniao was not worried about not having a place to live. However, he always liked quietness and was unwilling to squeeze into the group with the students from all over the world, and kept communicating with them. There were too many trivial matters and no meaning.
.
He wanted to find a quiet place near the examination school, but it was a few days before the examination period.
As for the cost issue, it is not a problem at all. The money you carry can buy a house in the capital where every inch of land is valuable.
Lao Qin Deling asked about the path and drove to the school to take the bus.
All major counties and cities will have examination schools, and the examination schools in Beijing are particularly grand. Around the examination schools, there are countless inns and shops around the surrounding areas, all of which are equal to "school district houses", and to be more precise, "school district houses".
Lao Qin understood what the gentleman meant, and after some observation and inquiries, he found a rented house in a street and alley.
The house is not big, with two bedrooms and two living rooms, which is better than the elegant environment.
Anyway, Chen Youniao asked him to rent it directly for half a year. After all, the imperial examination will be in February, and the palace examination will have to be in April. If you pass the examination, you will have to do a series of busy work, all of which have to be carried out in Beijing.
If you fail the exam...
Bah, never make that plan.
Come all the way to the exam. Not to mention anything else, you must have confidence.
After renting a house, Lao Qin immediately started to clean up. It didn't take long to finish it.
"Sir, I'll go out to get you a drink."
Since Xianyi Town came out, Chen Youniao fell in love with drinking. He drank all the spiritual wine he brought with him and could never buy it again, so he went to buy some medicinal wine.
Along the way, the main expenses have been in this area.
The capital is so big, there must be good wine.
Thinking of wine, Chen Youniao immediately thought of Hu Zining. The wine he drank on the lake and still reminisces it.
After many students entered Beijing, in addition to reviewing their homework, the other focus was on interpersonal relationships and visiting people's feelings.
In the dynasty officialdom, the connections are like a big net, densely packed and everywhere.
As the students who have just walked out of the hard work, their connections are either from clan fellow townsmen or from teacher recommendations.
Being content is a good article. If you want good relationships, you have to go to the door more, give more gifts, and have more dinners...
The so-called "the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water", and it will eventually become as light as falling flowers and flowing water and will no longer exist.
However, Chen Youniao's clan was born in the capital without any other way. The uncle and senior who passed the imperial examination had already been released as an official, and his career was not satisfactory. As for Meng Beiliu, if he had a long sleeve and good dance, he would not have been dismissed from office.
The county has opened a cottage and teaches and educates people.
Therefore, in the capital, the only person Chen Youniao could think of was "Hu Zining", and that beautiful face immediately emerged in his mind.
Hu Zining once said that if Chen Youniao could go to the capital, he would go to him, but he did not leave any communication information.
So, did the other party already know that Chen Youniao has come to the capital?
Hu Zining is a mysterious background and seems to have a great background. With his energy, it is not difficult to find out that Chen Youniao has passed the exam.
Chen Youniao also felt grateful to this "beautiful" junior. Without the "Laoshan Tongzhen Taoist Sutra" given to him by the other party, he would not have achieved such a success and could only be an ordinary Taoist priest.
Although this is a reward for saving lives, Chen Youniao does not like to regard this as a transaction.
But now I think these things are useless, it depends on whether I can meet Hu Zining again.
Taking advantage of this time, continue to review your official homework and make your final sprint.
As someone who has experienced the difficulty of the college entrance examination, he has a lot of experience in the best arrangements for this stage, which will be a helping hand.
...
The capital is so big, divided into outer and inner cities. Among the inner cities, there is also an imperial city, and there is also a divine forbidden city in the imperial city.
"God" represents Taoism and ghosts and gods, and they are forbidden to appear in this city.
In layman's terms, this forbidden city is the emperor's home.
The emperor is the emperor, and his home is naturally the largest in the world. The palaces are continuous, the gardens are stacked, and the portals are endless.
For example, princesses, and major officials, it is impossible for them to live in the forbidden city of God, and they basically live in the imperial city.
In the northwest area of the imperial city, there is a newly built mansion called "Ziling Mansion". It covers a very large area, with pavilions and towers, and is magnificent.
At this time, Hu Zining, who had a long jade face, was sitting in a pavilion holding a long pole in his hand and was fishing by the water.
If Chen Youniao saw it here, he would probably exclaim: "Why are you getting more and more beautiful as you grow..."
It is really weird to use the word "beautiful" to describe a man.
Suddenly, a servant rushed over and shouted, "Young Master, you have news about what you asked for inquiries."
Hu Zining threw the fishing rod: "Speak quickly."
The servant replied: "One hour ago, he registered and entered the capital, but did not live in the examination hall. Maybe he went to the inn. We are inquiring. "
