Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 233 The Enemy Meets

The setting sun hangs, and the colorful clouds are in the sky, just like a piece of cloud is baked by the sky fire, it is red and colorful.

Su Chen went out of the mansion, got into the special carriage of Xu Mansion, and followed the two girls to the Xiangyun Hall to watch the performance of "The Peony Pavilion" tonight.

Since talented Xu's car was accompanied by several guards from the Xu residence, Su Chen didn't need to bring his servants there this time.

In the carriage, Su Chen was sitting opposite Xu Qingwan and Zhou Jiamin, sniffing the unique faint fragrance from the girl, which was refreshing and pleasant. Although looking at the appearance of the second girl was very enjoyable, he had to keep answering some of the questions and opinions of the second girl , but it gave him a little headache.

His relationship with talented girl Xu is at best a good friend of the opposite sex, at least Su Chen hasn't discovered any other aspects of affection for each other, this Xu Qingwan just likes to come and ask him some questions, such as poetry, arithmetic skills, the theory of things, etc. , is an academic discussion, quite a sense of spirituality.

Su Chen didn't think that with these things, he could make the extremely talented girl Xu fall in love with him all of a sudden.

Also because he had inadvertently asked her, unmarried at such an age, jokingly asking her what kind of husband she likes?At that time, Xu Cainv said that she must be versatile in both civil and military affairs, capable of governing the country with literary skills, and able to stabilize the country with martial arts, that kind of great hero who stands up to the heaven and earth.

Su Chen felt relieved, he just didn't have that kind of ambition.

It has been a month and a half since he traveled back to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and his current goal is to live a good life, to be able to live a small life without worrying about food and clothing, to be rich, to have several beautiful wives and maidservants by his side, and to be happy in front of the rich. My lord, to enjoy the privileges of feudal gentry men, it is not in vain to travel back to ancient times, without being restricted by the monogamous marriage law.

However, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. In order to survive, he offended the Cao family; in order to make money to help the Bai family, he offended the Ding family, thus making friends and enemies.

Now that Su Chen has been drawn into the Sun Party camp by Han Xizai, and Su Chen has to protect the interests of his Su family and Bai family, so he has to start thinking about how to get a foothold in the Southern Tang Dynasty, how to pass the imperial examination, and then Obtained a Jinshi background, mixed with an official position, if the Southern Tang and Li Yu can still be saved, they will help fight the Northern Song Dynasty.

If nothing can be done, and the Southern Tang Dynasty is completely hopeless, then follow the history, watch it fall from the sidelines, and return to the Northern Song Dynasty. Anyway, you have the qualifications of Jinshi, plus the name and official title, which means you have status and diplomas, and you will become the son of the Song Dynasty in the future. The people may also be able to protect themselves wisely and live a nourishing and nourishing life.

As for building meritorious deeds, opening up territories, governing the country, etc., Su Chen didn't have much interest for the time being.

Zhou Jiamin glanced at him, and suddenly asked: "Young master Su, you have such achievements in poetry, why haven't you taken the imperial examination yet?"

Su Chen smiled and explained: "I used to think that if I took part in the imperial examination and became an official, I would not be able to be free. However, as I grew older, and under the guidance of Mr. Han Shilang, I felt that my previous thinking was too paranoid. I am preparing to participate in this year's autumn festival."

Zhou Jiamin said with a bit of admiration: "With your talent, you must be able to solve the Yuan in the government examination, and then go to Jinling to take the provincial examination and get the number one scholar, right?"

Su Chen said with embarrassment: "Miss, I am really flattering you. Although Su has some accomplishments in poetry, it is only a part of the imperial examination after all. I still need to write a beautiful article, citing Confucian classics, etc. I may not be able to write it." Pass other scholars!"

"My lord is modest, I don't believe it!" Zhou Jiamin chuckled, thinking it was Su Chen's humble words.

Su Chen was helpless, and couldn't explain it, so he could only smile bitterly,

Xu Qingwan suddenly remembered that she had never seen him write parallel Fu articles in his study, the kind of articles that were really used in the imperial examination!

"Master Su, there are still three months left before Qiu Wei, and I haven't seen you review your homework every day and prepare for the Qiu Wei exam. Are you already confident?"

Su Chen snickered in his heart, he didn't know what to do, but he didn't know where to start. There were so many anthologies, Tang texts and other prose, parallel prose, Han prose, etc., he had to read them carefully from the beginning and memorize them, and it would take ten years of hard work. Three months is simply too little time!

"There are too many volumes of classics and history collections that need to be reviewed, and I don't know where to start, so I don't bother to read them."

"..." The two daughters couldn't help but laugh when they heard such absurd reasons.

Xu Qingwan smiled faintly: "Then how about Qingwan coming to the door every day and personally urging you to review the scriptures and scientific examinations? If you have opinions on the article, we can discuss it with each other."

Su Chen didn't even think about it, and resolutely refused. He couldn't have too much contact with talented Xu, otherwise it would be easy to expose his shortcomings in writing, and this talented Xu is very smart, and has many questions every time he meets, sincerely ask Su Chen to answer some questions. Fan, over time, whenever Su Chen met, he felt pain in his head.

"Don't bother the girl so much, I just ask Miss Xu to help me sort out the questions of the Runzhou Prefecture Examination and Jinling Provincial Examination in the past ten years, and then help me find the articles about Qiu Wei Jieyuan in Runzhou every year in the past ten years , and the articles of Chunwei No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], and Tanhua are collected together, just give me a copy, and I will read them to understand how their splendid articles for imperial examinations are written!"

This is the most convenient method that Su Chen can think of, just like the ten-year real questions that are necessary for future generations to take the English test for CET-[-] and postgraduate entrance examinations!

The most convenient way to take the exam is to read the real questions. Su Chen intends to go through all the articles of Jieyuan, No. [-], and No. [-] in the past ten years. Composition should also play a role in taking the imperial examination.

This is Su Chen's case in case Han Shilang did not have the ability to influence the imperial examination in the autumn of August, so he has to rely on this way to fight.

"Okay, it's not a big problem!" Xu Qingwan readily agreed, because she has a collection of thousands of books in her house, and has sent someone to transcribe the articles written by Runzhou Jieyuan and many outstanding talents over the years. Articles are also collected, just go back and sort them out.

After a stick of incense, the carriage arrived at Xiangyun Pavilion.

At this time, there was already a long queue outside the Xiangyun Pavilion. Many high-ranking officials and nobles in Runzhou City, daughters of rich families, sons of rich families, students and scholars from government schools, local gentry, and merchants from other places also came to join in the fun. The drama "Peony Pavilion" staged by Xiangyun Pavilion at dusk.

Since Xu Qingwan bought a VIP number, there is a special and convenient passage through the side door, so there is no need to wait in a long line.

The three of them came to the seats in the front row, and found that only one-third of the seats were occupied in the spacious hall. There was still a while before the opening, Su Chen planned to visit behind the scenes, and wanted to give Liu Mo Nong a surprise. At the same time, introduce Zhou Jiamin to Liu Mo Nong to get to know each other.

After Zhou Jiamin heard his proposal, she was naturally very happy. She had long been interested in going behind the stage to see what Liu Huadan and others looked like when they put on makeup.

Su Chen got up, took the two daughters and walked across the courtyard to Liu Huadan's theater troupe.

Along the way, the guards of the Xiangyun Pavilion asked, and Su Chen took out a jade token that Liu Mo Nong had given him before, allowing him to travel unimpeded in the back house of the Xiangyun Pavilion. The two guards guessed that this young man must be extremely noble, Respectfully let go.

When the three approached Liu Mo Nong's small courtyard, they heard someone making loud noises at the Moon Gate at the end of the corridor, claiming to see Liu Mo Nong, and even to redeem her life.

Su Chen was astonished, and looked around, and found that the young man in a splendid dress was none other than Ding Yin!

This is really a narrow road for enemies.
