Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 555 Writing Articles

The weather in Chang'an is getting hotter and hotter.

At the same time, the capital became more and more lively.

Every inn, restaurant, teahouse, storyteller, gossip, every day.

Especially teahouses and restaurants.

Make a pot of tea, or sell a jug of beer, order a few cold dishes, eat and chat, it is very comfortable.

Most of the chatters were talented scholars from Chang'an City.

For example, if that talented man is attracted by a girl from another family, after he wins the list, he will come to the list to catch his son-in-law.

Or, let’s talk about some Chang’an scholars, who is so talented, who wrote a poem and so on.

The situation of these scholars and scholars became more and more discussed by everyone when the imperial examination was about to take place.

Among the many scholars, there is one named Feng Yi who is the most discussed by everyone.

"I heard that Feng Yi is both talented and beautiful. Qiantu wrote a poem, which really surprised everyone."

"That's not true, I heard that the day before yesterday, he competed with others to write an article. After drinking a pot of good wine, he finished it on the spot. It's really not good, it's not chic."

"What is this? I heard that the girls in the boudoirs of Chang'an City don't like him very much."

"Quietly tell you, I heard that Princess Danyang also has a little bit of meaning for this Feng Yi."

When these words came out, the people in the teahouse were stunned for a moment, and then they all lowered their voices.

"It's really a fake fight, Princess Danyang is really interested in Feng Yi?"

"That's right. Yesterday I saw Princess Danyang's maid come looking for Feng Yi. Unfortunately, Feng Yi went out. You say that Princess Danyang is not interested in him, so why send her own maid?"

"It's true, this Princess Danyang has also reached the age of marriage, but marrying Feng Yi is unlikely."

"Who can say for sure, Princess Jiu married Qin Tian."

"Then how can Feng Yi compare with Qin Houye, Qin Houye has made outstanding achievements, and he is still a Hou Ye, so what is Feng Yi, he is just a son of a poor family."

"........."

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and in Chang'an, the capital city, Fengxian Building, a handsome man was drinking.

The man was quite elegant, he only used a large bowl to drink, and every time he drank, he had to drink two bowls, he had already drank a jar, but he didn't have the slightest intention of getting drunk.

"Xiao Er, have another pot." The man called out, and the waiter in the shop showed embarrassment, and ran over: "Mr. Feng, you've already had a pot, I think I'll let it go today."

The man was Feng Yi. When he heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "Why, are you afraid I won't be able to pay you?"

"This... this..." The waiter twitched his lips: "You owe half a year's rent, if you don't have some skills, you might pass the Jinshi exam, and we can take you in."

The shop clerk said, shaking his head speechlessly. When they met such a person, they wouldn't be able to drive him away, or they wouldn't drive him away.

Feng Yi's face turned slightly pale, and he was as talented as he was, yet he was worried about Aduwu.

Now, without money, the waiter wouldn't even give him wine.

However, at this moment, a man in a fancy dress suddenly walked over, and with a wave of his hand, it was a piece of silver cake.

The waiter in the shop took the silver cake, which was a little strange.

"I will cover all the expenses of Mr. Feng. Whatever he wants, you will give him in the future."

The waiter in the shop recognized this person, his name was Han Xiao, he was a nobleman from Chang'an City, his family was very rich, when he heard this, he immediately smiled happily.

"With Mr. Han's words, there is no problem. The little one will go get the wine immediately."

The waiter backed away, but Feng Yi didn't show any gratitude. Han Xiao's cheeks twitched slightly, but it was inconvenient, and said, "Brother Feng, drinking here is not fun, how about we go upstairs?"

Obviously, Han Xiao paid Feng Yi's money, not for nothing. Although Feng Yi didn't like to be with these people, he got their benefits after all. After getting up, he went upstairs.

The two entered Feng Yi's room, and Feng Yi lay on the bed directly, and asked, "Just tell me if you have anything to say."

"No one else, just because I admire Brother Feng's talent, I came here to ask Brother Feng to write an article. If the writing is good, I will reward you."

Hearing that he was just writing articles, Feng Yi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he is penniless now, if he has no money to live on, he might not be able to pass the imperial examination.

With that in mind, he agreed.

"Tell me, what article."

"War Theory!"

When Feng Yi heard the name, he was slightly stunned, because he didn't expect that the article Han Xiao asked him to write turned out to be a theory of war.

However, this doesn't bother him, he nodded and said, "I say you write."

He didn't even bother to write, so he just dictated. Hearing this, Han Xiao frowned slightly, a little displeased, but thinking of Feng Yi's ability, he had no choice but to respond quickly. After taking out the pen and paper, he began to write quickly. stand up.

Feng Yi's article was written very quickly, almost in one go. Han Xiao's wrist hurt when he wrote such an article, but after reading the article, he also felt that the price was worth it.

Because, this is really a good article, nothing could be better.

Feng Yi put away the article excitedly, then threw down a piece of silver cake, then turned and left without saying anything to Feng Yi.

The room fell silent, but Feng Yi suddenly got up from the bed.

His eyes were slightly fixed, looking at the door, motionless, with a suspicious look on his face.

"Why did Han Xiao suddenly want to write about war?"

Articles such as war theory generally belong to the category of policy theory, which is an important content of the imperial examination. If there is no exam, it is also something that some famous civil and military generals in the court will consider. Han Xiao seems to be just the son of a wealthy businessman. He has to write this one?
Thinking that Han Xiao would also take part in this year's imperial examination, Feng Yi frowned even more.

"Impossible, shouldn't this be possible?"

Feng Yi got up from the bed and walked back and forth in the room. The windows of the room were closed tightly, making the room smell of sweat in addition to being stuffy.

But Feng Yi didn't realize it at all.

I was still walking back and forth in the room, and the more I walked, the more strange things became.

And at this moment, the door of his room opened suddenly, and then a girl who looked like a maid came in, Feng Yi was a little strange.

"who are you?"

The maid was a little angry: "Good Feng Yi, my princess sent me to look for you again and again, but you kept hiding, didn't you? Don't you take my princess too seriously?"

Hearing the maid's words, Feng Yi was stunned: "What princess, I didn't hide. Before that, it seemed like I was only seeing you for the first time, right?"

Feng Yi was very puzzled, the maid curled her lips, and realized that it seemed to be the case, and she was a bit unreasonable.

"I don't care, you have to go with me to see the princess today."
