As soon as I stepped into the red-walled palace, all eyes turned towards the entrance of the palace.
Being watched by so many people all of a sudden, Luo Zhang felt a little embarrassed no matter how thick-skinned he was.
At the same time, he couldn't figure out what these people were staring at him for!
"Look, it's Luo Zhang. He just fought with the Yuan family guards at the door. He was the one who injured the young master of the Yuan family."
"You don't know that Luo Zhang was so majestic at that time. The young master of the Yuan family was so stunned that he didn't even dare to fight back."
"He's not afraid of the Yuan family's revenge! The Yuan family is one of the eight Shangzhu kingdoms, not just a small family of cats and dogs!"
"You don't know something about this. Luo Zhang had offended the eldest son's family of Shangzhu Kingdom before. The eldest son of the eldest son's family, Sun Chong, was crippled by him. There were even more people who were not from Shangzhu Kingdom. Chai Lingwu, Fang Jun, Even the Dou family's Yan Lai Tower was smashed by Luo Zhang, do you think he is afraid of the Yuan family?"
"Brother, you know more. Thank you very much for clarifying my doubts. Otherwise, we wouldn't have known this when we first arrived here!"
Luo Zhang listened to the chattering discussions of these people. He had a good relationship. The reason why my brother was stared at by so many people was because he was pulled out as a talking point.
But this is good, it can increase my buddy’s popularity!
He casually found an empty seat and sat down, and Luo Zhang waited quietly. Although some people still talked about him, he was sitting next to him and the conversation was much less. Most of them were talking about the topics of the imperial examination.
Luo Zhang also listened attentively, but he was confused by many of them. It could be said that he knew what was happening but didn't know why. To put it simply, it was just what he was talking about!
This is not to blame Luo Zhang. When he time-traveled, he only graduated from high school. His Chinese and mathematics skills were average, and he was only good at history. If he hadn't been good at history, he would probably have a black eye when he came to the Tang Dynasty. Who would be against whom? Do not know at all.
But it's not too bad. With a high school education, it should be more than enough to deal with the people of the Tang Dynasty. The only headaches are those who care about people and how to be an official and lead troops to fight.
However, after hearing what these students said, it seemed that these people didn't understand it very well, and some were even less proficient than him. This gave Luo Zhang some confidence and felt that he still had some hope.
Just as Luo Zhang was secretly cheering himself up, another person walked in outside the door, attracting everyone's attention.
The discussion in the hall even surpassed that of Luo Zhang, which shows how famous the visitor is.
Luo Zhang was slightly startled after seeing the person coming.
The visitor was none other than the woman in a hat who had followed Luo Zhang and asked Yuan Zhe why he was possessed by demons.
At this time, she still did not take off her bamboo hat. After entering the gate, she did not pay attention to the eyes that were looking at her. Instead, she glanced around and finally fixed her eyes on Luo Zhang. She moved lightly and actually walked towards him. Luo Zhang came.
"Does she know Luo Zhang?"
"It's impossible. Luo Zhang seems to have no contact with her. Did he know her before?"
"That's not right. Luo Zhang was just a member of the market. How could he know her?"
"Oh, it's like a flower stuck in cow dung. Fairy in my dream, how could you be related to Luo Zhang, a lunatic!"
"Who says it's not the case? The same goes for Luo Zhang. He's already marrying a princess, so he doesn't know how to restrain himself. He's still trying to attract bees and butterflies. What the hell!"
"That's not necessarily true. If he doesn't get into the top three, he might not have to marry the princess. At worst, he'll just have to bear His Majesty's punishment."
"No way, just let the princess go and not marry her?"
"It also depends on whether he can pass the exam. If he can't pass the exam, it's all empty talk!"
"You said that if we send him to the top three, then will Fairy Hu not have anything to do with him?"
"this……"
Luo Zhang looked at the woman in a bamboo hat walking towards him, and listened to the discussions around him, his eyes brightened up. He didn't expect that these beasts actually wanted to send him into the top three for a woman, and didn't want him to have anything to do with her. It’s really heartless and inhumane, but my buddy likes it! ! !
However, this kind of thing is not something that a group of students can control, and who among so many people would give up their bright future for a woman is just a matter of personal opinion.
"Sir, may I ask, is there no one sitting next to you?" Luo Zhang, a woman in a bamboo hat, asked softly as she approached.
Luo Zhang pouted, "Why don't you strike up a conversation in such an obvious way? You can't see if there's anyone next to you. Even a fool can spot such a clichéd strike-up, little sister!"
He was laughing in his heart, but he couldn't say that in his mouth. Luo Zhang, who thought he was a handsome gentleman, coughed and showed what he thought was a charming smile and said: "There is no one here, you can sit down."
"Thank you, Master!" Yingying, a woman in a bamboo hat, thanked Luo Zhang with a bow, then came and sat down next to him.
When the woman in the bamboo hat walked past him, Luo Zhang's nose kept twitching, sniffing the fragrance from nowhere.
After the woman in the bamboo hat sat down, Luo Zhang realized that it was emanating from her body.
This made Luo Zhang look surprised. Did the Tang Dynasty already have perfume? The smell seems to be that of jasmine! If this really proves that there was perfume in the Tang Dynasty, even the jaws of future generations will drop in shock.
It is not necessarily impossible to say that it is impossible. After all, even if perfume appeared in ancient times, it would not be preserved. After all, perfume is a volatile thing and will naturally evaporate over time.
But Luo Zhang would not believe it. One key point here is that perfume must be neutralized with a high degree of alcohol. The highest alcohol in Datang is only Sanlejiang with more than 20 degrees, which is not even comparable to Erguotou. , not to mention alcohol with a purity of more than 90% used to neutralize perfume. How can perfume be produced without alcohol?
Then the only explanation left is that it comes with its own fragrance!
Could it be that the jasmine scent on this girl is that legendary body fragrance?
Tsk tsk tsk! This horse is awesome, it comes with its own body fragrance. I wonder what it would be like to keep it in the house!
Luo Zhang was thinking about it when he heard the woman next to him say: "I don't know the name of the young master, but I have seen the young lady Hu Luanyao here!"
"Ah...oh...I, my name is Luo Zhang!" Luo Zhang was awakened by the woman in the bamboo hat. He quickly wiped the scratches at the corners of his mouth and replied without blushing or out of breath.
"Hu Luanyao! Biting randomly...I don't know where this biting happened!" Thinking in his mind, Luo Zhang showed a strange smile on his face. The woman in the bamboo hat looked at the side and was a little puzzled. Instinctively, she felt that Luo Zhang's smile made her very happy. It's uncomfortable, but she doesn't care what people laugh at.
After a pause, Hu Luanyao spoke again: "I wonder how confident Mr. Luo is about this imperial examination?"
"Ah... I'm sure, it all depends on what questions His Majesty asks. No matter how well you prepare, it's still in vain if you don't answer the questions His Majesty asks well!" Luo Zhang said deceptively, as if he was very in-depth. .
The students who listened to the two of them with their ears perked up rolled their eyes. Why does it mean that His Majesty's questions are in vain if he can't answer them well? You can't answer it at all, okay? If you, a person from a business background, can answer it, wouldn't all the books they have read for so many years have been in vain?
But what they were thinking was useless. If they told this, would other girls believe it?
In response to Luo Zhang's remarks, Hu Luanyao nodded lightly and said: "Young master's advice is indeed true, but if you prepare a little more, you can still have your own opinions no matter how difficult your majesty's questions are!"
Luo Zhang felt a chill in his heart. This girl is so easy to fool. Do you believe her now? And he also made up for the shortcomings of the statement by himself? This girl is such a good person!
"What Miss Hu said makes sense, but I have a question that I hope you can help me solve?" Luo Zhang said with a wink.
"Master Luo, please tell me?" Hu Luanyao said softly.
"I wonder how Miss Hu was able to participate in this scientific examination?" Luo Zhang asked, expressing his doubts. It's not his fault that there were no rules for women to participate in the scientific examination in the Tang Dynasty. Even when Wu Meiniang succeeded to the throne, she did not do this. As a precedent, she just recruited some female officials to help her handle official duties. It is really weird why a woman would appear here to take the scientific examination.
As soon as Luo Zhang said these words, the sound of ridicule suddenly spread from all around.
"This Luo Zhang has been doing this for a long time and it turns out he doesn't know Fairy Hu. He doesn't even know how he can participate in the scientific examination!"
"That's right, we worried in vain and wanted to send him into the top three. Now we don't have to worry!"
"By the way, Fairy Hu has been the envoy of Goguryeo for two years. Her knowledge is really profound. I have never seen a woman who is more familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics than a man. It really puts my man to shame!"
"What's the point? This only shows that Fairy Hu is extremely smart, how can it be compared to ordinary people!"
"However, she actually applied to take the scientific examination this time. I wonder where she will rank. If she ranks among the top, will Your Majesty recruit her into our Tang Dynasty as an official?"
"I don't know! But it's still possible!"
