Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 422 The name that aroused Chang'an's curiosity

Although the people sent out had already left, the dirty little beggar Su Xiaomei finally calmed down, and she also knew that it was much better for so many people to search for than one person.

Maybe he didn't say a word of gratitude, but both Shu An and Li Xiuning could see the excitement in his eyes.

"I wonder if little sister can tell more about your brother's story."

Shu An's voice continued to ring out. The little beggar's voice didn't sound like someone from Chang'an area, but a bit like someone from Taiyuan.

"it is good."

Su Xiaomei said softly, there was obviously a hint of excitement in her words, perhaps because she was talking about her brother.

Then the voice sounded intermittently, telling the reason why he came to Chang'an from where he was born.

It turned out that Su Xiaomei's older brother was called Su Dashan, and the two siblings had been dependent on each other since they were young. Because of the younger sister's relationship, Su Dashan naturally took on the burden of the family.

In addition to farming at home, there are also some odd jobs to subsidize the family.

But other than that, Su Dashan has many bright spots, that is, he often secretly studies with some teachers from private schools.

He practiced on the sand table without banknotes, and even because of his poor birth, he often received a lot of help.

But what surprised Shu An and Li Xiuning was that this time, Su Dashan and Su Xiaomei went to Beijing to rush for the exam.

"It stands to reason that it shouldn't be rushing to take the exam in Hedong."

The first time Li Xiuning reacted wrongly, she had to know because of her understanding of the teacher.

Therefore, she has also studied the imperial examination system that was changed because of the teacher. Logically speaking, she should not look far away.

Not to mention that because of the large number of scholars gathered in the capital, the competition may be more intense than that in the east.

"That's because we have no money."

After hearing Li Xiuning's words, Su Xiaomei clenched her fists tightly and said with some anger on her face.

It turns out that after the imperial examination system was distributed to all regions, the counties were responsible for the registration first, and then gathered together to rush for the exam together.

Su Xiaomei's original hometown was in a small village near the county seat of Xiangyuan in Shangdang. To register, one had to go to the yamen in Xiangyuan County to register first.

I didn't expect to charge a fee. There was no such point in the notice at the beginning. In the end, Su Dashan was very angry, because the registration fee required five taels of silver.

Five taels of silver may not be a big deal in the eyes of Shu An and the others, but it is an astronomical sum for Su Xiaomei and the others.

In the end, Su Dashan decided to take Su Xiaomei to the city to rush for the exam, but there were unexpected events.

On the way, Su Xiaomei fell ill, probably because the weather had not completely turned warm. This was undoubtedly a blow to Su Dashan back then, and he still hesitated.

You must know that there was not much money in the first place, and the expenses on the road were very tight, and even borrowed a lot of money from the surrounding villagers.

It's a pity that this is still not much, if the money is used to see a doctor on the way, there will be very little left, and they may not be able to reach Chang'an.

In the end, Su Dashan still chose the life of his sister, because this is already his only relative in the world.

The price was that they begged along the road to Chang'an. Except for the pens and ink they bought, Su Dashan and his brother and sister no longer had a penny of money.

As for what happened next, Shu An and Li Xiuning both knew about it. After hearing the experiences of the brothers, both Shu An and Li Xiuning were silent.

"Misfortune."

Shu An lamented that the pair of brothers and sisters could be said to have been tortured by God.

"Xiu Ning has never heard of the fact that she was asked to collect money from the science report."

Li Xiuning's eyes also showed a trace of pity and said quietly, there were many complexities in the words.

Speaking of it, it was still the original source of the problem. If the Yamen hadn't collected the money, then this pair of brothers and sisters would not have come to Chang'an.

"Even poverty, can't shake a heart that wants to change fate?"

Shu An's voice continued to sound, and there was a lot of interest in this Su Dashan in his words.

We must know that the people of this era have a simplicity and a kind of comfort. Maybe the opportunity will not let them go.

But on the contrary, there are not many people who want to take the initiative to change their destiny. No matter whether Su Dashan succeeds or not, Shu Angao will take a look at this determination.

"Your brother is very nice."

After hearing the teacher's words, Li Xiuning's eyes fell on Su Xiaomei Mountain and said in admiration.

There are not many people who can make their teacher comment like this, not to mention Li Xiuning also has a lot of sympathy.

At the same time, the whole city of Chang'an seemed to be different, the reason was very simple, everyone seemed to be looking for someone.

"Su Dashan, who is this person?"

It can be said that everyone is stupefied, but in fact, this is the case, this name has become popular.

No matter the people from the Shu Mansion or the Pingyang Princess Mansion were looking for this person, it can be said that it naturally caused quite a stir.

In particular, Shu An had many disciples in Chang'an. The guards of the Shu Mansion were looking for someone, and the guards of the mansion, such as Changsun Wuji's friend Du Ruhui, all joined the search ranks.

Of course, if someone can be found, it is naturally through the consent of these masters, even if these people don't know who the teacher is looking for.

"Who is this person?"

This question is not only a doubt in the minds of Changsun Wuji and others, but also a doubt in the entire Chang'an city.

"Jun Xian, send someone to find out."

Similarly, the din of Chang'an naturally cannot escape Li Shimin's eyes and ears, and this emperor is also puzzled.

But when it comes to his sister, Li Shimin is naturally sensitive.

You know, but not long ago, the news that this sister was out of the city had already entered Li Shimin's ears.

Li Shimin naturally knew where Xiuning went out of the city, so he didn't send anyone to follow him.

The reason is very simple, it would be bad if it was noticed, originally this younger sister had a lot of prejudice against her.

If it is found that he sent someone to follow her again, the relationship will be even worse.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Li Junxian received the order, he turned and left without hesitation. Fortunately, Wang Xuance joined him, so he shared a lot of pressure for him.

The matter of Yu Xiu before was also handed over to Wang Xuance's full authority to investigate, and of course part of Baiqi's power was also taken away.

Fortunately, Li Junxian didn't care, he was very clear about his own perception.

The position of commander of Baiqi is probably a lifetime thing, and at most it is just a promotion above the title.

So Li Junxian is very open about this matter, and he knows that Wang Xuance will not stop here.

As well as the favor owed to Duke Anxuan before, this time it happened to be repaid all at once, and Li Junxian, who was supposed to teach Wang Xuance, had no secrets.
