Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 24 The powerful and the poor!
Not long after Du Ruhui left, some passers-by had already seen this notice, and a lot of people gathered, all of them couldn't help showing a hint of interest on their faces.

"Does this mean that even if you don't know Duke An Xuan, you can meet him?!"

Suddenly an excited voice sounded from the crowd, because it was indeed the case, but it said no matter who it was.

One must know that it is not easy for ordinary people to meet this world-famous Duke Anxuan, even if they do, it is only from afar.

Not to mention talking, now that there is such an opportunity, it can be said that many people's eyes are already twinkling in the crowd.

Among the crowd, a scholar dressed as a scholar stood up first and took the first question.

"How many years did Confucius spend traveling around the world?!"

Although it seemed a simple question, the scholar was stunned. He seemed to have seen this question in some book, but he just couldn't remember it.

Because generally no one would memorize such a small number, the scholar was also unwilling and wanted to change the question again, but was stopped.

"If you can't answer, Young Master, please come back tomorrow."

The guard had already stopped him, and then he told the rules, everyone only has one chance a day, and they can't change the topic.

"Little scholar, come down if you can't answer, don't be ashamed."

Seeing a scholar with an ugly face, someone in the crowd couldn't help but chuckled, and then many people booed.

Under such circumstances, the scholar naturally couldn't hold his ground. He put down the topic and stepped down the stairs in front of him, but he kept murmuring.

"How many years?!"

After the scholar stepped down, many people went up to ask a question, but in the end they all shook their heads and left the stage with ugly expressions.

In a short period of time, more and more people gathered in front of the Shu Mansion. You must know that the Shu Mansion was originally located in a relatively remote area in Chang'an.

Part of it was that the news had spread, and many people rushed over after hearing the news, but it was not Shih Lin who was shaken first, but those children from poor families.

You must know that many children from poor families are very familiar with the name of An Xuangong, many of them have many problems, and they also have other purposes.

They couldn't find the channel before, but now they have it. If they can answer the ten questions correctly, then they can meet An Xuangong.

If you seize the opportunity, you may be able to jump into the dragon's gate, even if you become a student of Duke Anxuan, you can change your own destiny.

In the era dominated by aristocratic families, it can be said that this is another way, but the problem has already been prepared.

He doesn't care about your background, anyway, the selection of questions is all based on luck, but Shu An's questions are not so simple.

The first question alone asks about the blind spots of knowledge when studying in this era. Maybe you can find the answer to this question when you go back.

But don't forget, the random selection will still be done next time, which may be another question.

Of course, some people may exchange answers, but the knowledge of this era is more blocked than imagined.

Most people would not do this, let alone tell others the answer, so what benefits can they get.

Instead, after a question is solved, I will leave the question bank, just in case I can get this question.

It can be said that Shu An has already thought about all this, and taking this opportunity, he directly pushed out his Shu Men Ten Questions.

Shumen's Ten Questions is Shu'an's first step towards becoming a sage. You must know that children from poor families are not allowed to participate in the current imperial examinations.

Even Li Shimin has not yet reformed the imperial examination system. After all, he has just ascended the throne, so internal and external troubles are naturally the case.

So this is a chance that Shu An gave to the poor family's children, and this seems like an unintentional move, even if the aristocratic family finds out about it, they won't say anything.

Is it impossible to admit that one's children are not as good as those from a poor family?

In this way, Shu An will naturally gain more prestige and influence, and this is also the future trend.

It is an inevitable result that the imperial examination Jinshi who was born as a child of a poor family fights against the knowledge monopoly of a powerful family.

At this time, many children from the poor family shook their heads, obviously they had a lot of resentment towards this Duke Anxuan.

"I don't seem to have seen these problems before."

"Duke Anxuan's questions are wild and unconstrained, but there are reasons for him."

"I'm from a poor family and I don't have much knowledge, I'm afraid I won't even be able to pass the first question."

There was a lot of discussion, and there was a hint of disappointment in the words, but they were still pleasantly surprised by this trip.

At least An Xuangong gave them a hope, and there is another point that I have to mention, that is, An Xuangong's handwriting is not inferior to the appearance of a calligrapher.

Even for this word, they would come to draw a topic every day to appreciate and observe it. Unfortunately, each of them only had half a stick of incense time.

If this time has passed, it is also regarded as unable to answer, but the time has not passed for a long time.

The news has spread throughout Chang'an, and many descendants of powerful families and the last noble descendants have gathered in front of the Shu residence.

Before coming here, these people knew something about the situation, but as scholars of the scholar class, they naturally have their own pride.

These people looked contemptuously at those humble scholars, and also climbed up the steps, and began to prepare to draw their own questions.

"One life, two, two, three, three, all things."

A child from an aristocratic family twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth when he looked at the title, and the one he picked was the title of a couplet, but it seemed to be from the "Tao Te Ching".

Some answers emerged in my mind, but they were rejected one by one in the end. Could it be that the first question is going to be difficult.

For a while, this aristocratic family child was unable to advance or retreat. In fact, it was more than one, and the aristocratic family's children before taking the stage were all stumped.

Looking at the distressed faces, the faces of some poor children who were disappointed before were elated.

"Isn't someone saying that they are well-versed in poetry and books before, but I didn't expect that it would be fancy but not useful."

A strange voice sounded from the crowd, which instantly aroused the sympathy of the children from the poor family, and at the same time made the children of the aristocratic family who were arrogant before feel ashamed.

"Whoever said the words, dare to stand up?"

However, among the children of the aristocratic family, there are also some grumpy people. Naturally, they were not reconciled to being ridiculed, so they said a word.

All of a sudden, there was a commotion in front of the Shu Mansion, which could break out and rush in at any time. Fortunately, the Jinwu Guard had already paid attention to the crowd, so naturally they intervened immediately.

In a short period of time, the conflict in front of the Shu Mansion also spread throughout Chang'an City, but it was also spread throughout Chang'an City that there were still ten questions from Shumen, and none of the countless scholars answered a single question.
