Treasures of the Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms

Chapter 477 Taking Liu Yanchang to Beijing for the Exam

The news that a young master came to Liu Yanchang's house spread throughout Liu's village in just one afternoon, so from the evening on that day, people came to Liu Yanchang's house to watch the excitement or meet the legendary young master. Liujia Village is not too big, and there are not many people, otherwise the threshold of Liu Yanchang's family would have been broken.

The next day, the villagers in Liujia Village were not as curious about Mo Mo as they were yesterday, because in their opinion, Mo Mo was similar to the boys in their village except that he was a little more handsome and well-dressed, and Mo Mo lived in Liu Yanchang. In the past few days, everyone has been able to answer Liu Yanchang's questions. He even took the initiative to instill knowledge into Liu Yanchang, but what are the rules of the imperial examination? It is said that he is also a battlefield for modern college students who have been tested for a long time, so it is not a problem to impart a little experience to Liu Yanchang.

After staying in Liujia Village for nearly a week, Mo Mo and Liu Yanchang officially embarked on the journey to Kyoto amidst the welcome of the villagers. However, because Liu Yanchang's body is really too thin, their steps are moving slowly. According to their current schedule, when they arrived in the capital, it was estimated that the imperial list would be posted, so when they passed by a county, Mo Mo pawned a jade pendant and bought two good mules and horses, and Mo Mo bought the remaining money. After packing a large box of books, I started on the road again.

Along the way, Mo Mo took Liu Yanchang to pass the hospital examination (proctored by prefectural, prefecture, and county officials) and the rural examination (provincial level examination) all the way to the capital, and what awaits them is the general examination, which is presided over by the Ministry of Rites. Yes, and if they pass this test, they are eligible to take the highest level of examination, which is the imperial examination.

Because this world is a world of myths, although the grading of the examination is similar to that of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the treatment is much worse. Only passing the general examination can you enter the court as an official, and passing the rural examination can only get a chance to enter the provincial court run by the imperial court. , and if you can pass the palace examination, you will not only be rewarded with a good official position but also get in touch with the practice world, and this palace examination is not presided over by the emperor himself, he is presided over by the Palace of Longevity under the emperor's seat, and the Palace of Longevity is actually the management An institution of monks in a country.

When Mo Mo and the others stepped into Chang'an City, it had been nearly half a year since they left Liujia Village, and during this half year, Mo Mo often added some heaven and earth spirits to the food Liu Yanchang ate, which gave him the ability of photographic memory, And with this ability and his own hard work, Liu Yanchang was successfully promoted to a great talent with a lot of knowledge, and now he is already famous, and Mo Mo also revealed to him some things about cultivation from time to time, and if nothing unexpected happened, Liu Yanchang The imperial examination should be stable.

With confidence, Liu Yanchang naturally wouldn't stay in the inn all day to study hard, so under Mo Mo's instigation, they entered Chang'an City and went straight to the most famous Willow Lane in Chang'an, and the reason why that street is called Willow Lane The saying of Xiangju comes from the phrase "seeking flowers and asking willows", so I don't need to say where this Liuxiang is.

Not to mention, this Liuxiang is still a place where talented scholars and beautiful women gather, and the brothels in this Liuxiang are also divided into levels. The women in the lowest level basically make money by selling their bodies, and basically no one goes anywhere. They are ordinary people with a little money.

The next level is not just prostitutes, there are also some nobles in their building who know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting (performing art but not selling themselves), but they are said to be nobles but in fact they are just to raise the price, as long as the price is high enough It's easy to say, but the people who can come here are basically ordinary wealthy businessmen and some low-level officials' children.

At the upper level, they have broken away from the definition of ordinary brothels. Although there are still physical transactions in their buildings, it is not their main business. The main source of income for these brothels is those who are not selling themselves. These young people are usually responsible for playing the piano, singing, singing or dancing to attract many rich businessmen and rich and powerful sons, and there are not a few of these sons who usually spend a lot of money to laugh at the Pomeranians, let alone with these Qing The waitress has been in the spring for a while, just want to meet these women, don't even think about it for 800 taels each, and even if you are rich, they may not be willing to see you, and people who can come to this level of brothel are not rich It is expensive, because even the most common pot of tea or a plate of dim sum in it costs more than the annual income of ordinary people.Of course, you don't need anything when you go in, and they won't say anything, but the corresponding people won't come to entertain you, and Momo and the others are now entering this level of flower building.

It was not the first time for Liu Yanchang to come to such a romantic place, but he was still shocked by the scene in the book, because the appearance and figure of the ordinary maid who served tea and water in this flower house were already comparable to his previous ones. The flower houses he has been to are the top cards, and all the people who come and go are well-dressed, and the mocking eyes around him make him feel a little embarrassed, but when Mo Mo casually threw a piece of transparent Shi Shi gave the maid who entertained them, and those mocking eyes disappeared.

"Two good rooms, each room should be equipped with a better maid, and we will prepare bath soup for us, oh yes, there is also a table of banquets, and the rest will be rewarded to you." Mo Si ignored the surrounding eyes and walked forward past the maid.

The servant girl was ecstatic after seeing what the crystal stone in her hand was, and hurried to Mo Mo to lead the way, but Liu Yanchang was already stunned when Mo Mo threw the stone, until Mo Mo walked a long way It was only a short trot away, and this followed.

Half an hour later, Mo Mo had finished washing and changed into another cloud robe, and a few minutes later, Liu Yanchang also came to Mo Mo's room, and the maids of Hualou followed Liu Yanchang and brought up the wine and dishes one by one And two women who came in with them were better than those maids in both appearance and figure. Mo Mo and Liu Yanchang, who were no longer rookies, naturally knew what this meant, and Mo Mo didn't refuse, but those two Mo Mo pushed all the two girls to Liu Yanchang, and Liu Yanchang took the two girls back to his room after drinking and eating.

Seeing Liu Yanchang, who was slowly leaving with the support of the two women, the corners of Mo Mo's mouth curled up slightly, and when faint groans came from the next room, Mo Mo walked out of his room with a smile, He's going to make some preparations.

A quarter of an hour later, Mo Mo walked out of the palace with a smile. Although Liu Yanchang's current knowledge of the palace examination can be said to be sure, but just in case, he ran into the palace to explain to Zhu Wuneng's younger brother. It is imperative that Liu Yanchang pass this palace test, after all, he is going to cut off the marriage between Liu Yanchang and the Three Holy Mothers, so this should be his compensation.

After leaving the palace, Mo Mo returned to Hualou and left a letter to Liu Yanchang, saying that he had urgent business and had to leave for a period of time, so he could not accompany him to the palace examination. Before leaving Hualou and rushing to Huashan, Mo Mo was still there. Hualou left a sum of money for Liu Yanchang, which was enough for him to spend recklessly for a while.
