The family's carriage was just pulled to the backyard for a comprehensive cleaning this morning. It shouldn't be dry at the moment, and Li Gang didn't seem to be in a hurry. Judging from his appearance, he must have eaten at his house at noon, so Li Zexuan He was taking Li Anren and rushing to Qujiangfang by relying on his legs.
In the past month, he had never wandered outside like this. Li Zexuan looked at the people coming and going around him and felt that Chang'an City today seemed to be more lively than before. However, this was just a guess in his heart and he did not dare to Sure.
"Hey~! This little brother stays here~!"
At this moment, a young man carrying a bookcase on his back, who looked a bit like a scholar coming to Beijing to take the exam, walked over quickly and greeted Li Zexuan.
Li Zexuan looked around, and after confirming that the scholar was asking him, he asked curiously: "Is there something wrong, Your Excellency~?"
The scholar smiled a little shyly, then cupped his hands and said: "I heard that Yanhuang Academy spreads the knowledge of making mortals fly to the sky, and on the eighteenth day of this month, it recruits students, so I came all the way from Bingzhou to see the grand event~!" I feel ashamed that I have just arrived in Chang'an and am not familiar with the roads. I have passed through several inns and found no vacancies, but I don't know where there is any inn where I can check in. I hope this little brother can help me with some guidance~"
Li Zexuan was stunned. The person in front of him came all the way from Taiyuan to take the exam of Yanhuang Academy. Come to think of it, today is the eighth day of September, and the admissions exam of Yanhuang Academy will start in ten days. No wonder Chang'an City appears. With so many people here, a large part of them should be candidates coming from other places.
Thinking of this, Li Zexuan couldn't help but smile knowingly and said: "It turns out that you are here for Yanhuang Academy, I am disrespectful~! If you want to find a good hotel, I recommend you to go to Chongrenfang. There are countless various inns there. I'm sure There’s still room available for you to stay in~!”
Chongrenfang, northwest of Chang'an City, is a cluster of hotels. To the west of this square is the Imperial City (the seat of government agencies), which is very convenient for going to the official selection examination; in the southeast corner is the East City, which is convenient for shopping; to the south is Pingkangfang, which is convenient for chatting with geisha ladies...
Because of these benefits, this square has become a residential area for literati who came to Chang'an to elect officials and take the imperial examinations. The attached restaurants and other service industries are also extremely prosperous and prosperous, with noisy lights day and night. , just like the nightlife center of Chang'an City.
Of course, the consumption in a prosperous place is naturally not comparable to other places. Li Zexuan also saw that the young scholar in front of him was exquisitely dressed and had a good temperament. He estimated that his family background was pretty good, so he recommended him to Chongrenfang, because now With so many candidates gathering in Chang'an, the low-priced inns are almost full, so only high-end inns can meet the needs of this dear friend.
The young scholar asked: "Where is Chongrenfang~? Please give me some advice~!"
Li Zexuan's teeth hurt when he heard this, and he thought that it was a bit troublesome for this scholar to speak. He pointed to the north and said: "Brother, go straight north along this road. After passing four folk houses, you will see Chongren Square~ !”
The scholar's face was filled with joy, and he quickly raised his hands and thanked him: "Thank you for your advice, little brother. I'm Di Zhisun. If we meet again in the future, I will definitely invite you to have a drink with me~!"
Dickson~?
Li Zexuan's heart was moved. When he saw the young Di Renjie in his previous life, there was one of the Four Heroes in the Capital. One of them was Di Renjie's father Di Zhisun. However, he had traveled through time for so long, and as an indigenous resident of Chang'an City, he had never heard of it. What are the "Four Elites in the Capital"? It can be seen that those in the novel are all fabricated~!
But he really didn't expect that he would meet the father of Di Renjie, the future god of the Tang Dynasty, whenever he went out. He really had the aura of a protagonist~!
"Brother Di, you're welcome~! I believe we will meet again in the future~! But doesn't Brother Di have any relatives in Chang'an~? Why do you want to stay in an inn~?"
Li Zexuan smiled slightly and asked thoughtfully.
If he remembered correctly, Di Renjie's grandfather and Di Zhisun's father should have been an official in the court.
This is indeed the case. According to historical records, in the early Tang Dynasty, Di Zhisun's father, Di Xiaoxu, served successively as the marching commander, the general, the minister Zuocheng, the envoy to the military affairs of Bianzhou, the official Jin Ziguanglu, and the regular cavalry officer. He held official positions such as Shi and the governor of Feng and Bian Prefectures. Later, he was granted the title of Linyingnan, and his status was quite prominent in the early Tang Dynasty.
Di Zhisun is the fifth son of Di Xiaoxu. He is "dragon-like and phoenix-like", has "beautiful expressions and beautiful hair", and is a talented person. Because his father is a high-ranking official in the court and his family is wealthy, Di Zhisun has received a good education since he was a child. If we follow the normal historical trajectory, Di Zhisun will take part in the imperial examination around the fourth year of Zhenguan, pass the Ming Jing and enter the official career, and in the same year give birth to Di Renjie, a god of the Tang Dynasty who has been passed down through the ages.
At this time, Di Zhisun's face turned red, and he cupped his hands and said, "Di does have relatives working in Chang'an, but I came here to take the Yanhuang Academy exam this time, and I don't want to cause trouble, so..."
This was Di Zhisun's explanation when he saw that Li Zexuan was dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary bearing. He was by no means a child of an ordinary family. After all, this was Chang'an City, a city with as many officials as dogs. Although his father had an official position, , but he also didn’t want to make enemies for himself and me.
Li Zexuan laughed when he heard this, and waved his hands quickly: "Haha~! I understand, I understand~! Brother Di, no need to say any more, go to Chongrenfang quickly~!"
From Di Zhisun's few words, he guessed that when Di Xiaoxu became an official in Chang'an, he did not take over all the family members, and he also hoped that Di Zhisun would take the "right path" to take the imperial examination and become an official. , and Di Zhisun was young and frivolous, and was attracted after seeing a large number of reports about Yanhuang Academy in newspapers. However, due to Di Xiaoxu's opinion, he could only sneak over to take the exam... .
This is a rebellious young man who ran away from the Li family without permission~!
Di Zhisun breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Haha~! Then Di will say goodbye~! Thank you very much, little brother~!"
Li Zexuan smiled, returned the gift and said: "Brother Di, I wish you good luck in the exam and have fun in Chang'an City~! If you have some free time in the next few days, you can go to Yunshan Mountain in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an City to see the Yanhuang Academy. I won’t let Brother Di down~!”
Di Zhisun's eyes flashed and he nodded: "Di will go and have a look~!"
After that, the two said goodbye.
Li Zexuan took Li Anren and continued to rush to Qujiangfang. Looking at Chang'an City, which suddenly became a bit crowded, he murmured to himself: "In the golden autumn of September, talented people from all over the world are meeting at great speed~! I don't know how many students will pass the exam this time~!"
