Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 82 Gifts, Imperial Examination Reform

"Beep beep beep!"

With the sound of firecrackers, it heralds the arrival of the new year.

There is also a pair of couplets hanging in front of the Shu Mansion, attracting the attention of many scholars.

"Hundreds of years are good in the present, and the eternal world is new in the present."

The horizontal batch of Vientiane update, plus Shu An's handwriting, has made countless scholars obsessed.

"Mr. Anxuan wrote it well."

"The war has just passed away, and it is indeed a good time for many people."

"It's a pity that Shumen's ten questions are too difficult, otherwise, I would ask An Xuangong for a pair of couplets."

There was a lot of discussion in front of the Shu Mansion, and the scholars who came and went were attracted by the couplets at first sight.

At this time, Shu An in the Shu residence didn't care about the views of the Chang'an scholars, and his complexion fell on the little ones in front of him.

Although the New Year's Eve did not come, but on the first day of the New Year, they all came one after another, led by Gao Ming.

"Grandpa An, happy Chinese New Year!"

Seeing the three children who seemed to him not grown up respectfully salute, as if they had practiced before, the corners of Shu An's mouth could not help but slightly rise.

Even Li Yuan might not have this kind of treatment, but Li Yuan has dozens of children, not to mention grandchildren.

"In the new year, Grandpa An also prepared a gift for the three of you."

Shu An watched Gao Ming and the three of them speak slowly, speaking of it, this was the first Chinese New Year he saw the three of them, so he prepared a gift.

After the words fell, the eyes of Gao Ming and the others lit up, and among them, Chang Le, who couldn't help but be curious, had already spoken out first.

"Grandpa An, what gift is it?"

"Laifu, bring it here."

Shu An had been prepared to speak out, and soon Lai Fu came up with three boxes, each of which had a different shape.

"Gao Ming, this is yours."

"Qingque, and yours."

After Shu An finished distributing the presents, he saw that Gao Ming and the other three were in no hurry to open their presents.

After Gao Ming opened the gift, there was a pair of words, and after opening it slowly, there was a sentence written on it.

"I am humble, but I dare not forget to worry about the country."

This sentence seemed to be contrary to Gao Ming's identity, but Gao Ming understood what Grandpa An meant.

Even people with low status know that they are worried about the country, let alone he is a prince.

"Thank you, Grandpa An!"

Whether Gao Ming likes it or not, he never lacks in etiquette.

"Is this a painting by everyone?"

On the other side, Li Tai opened his gift and whispered with flickering eyes, you must know that he is learning calligraphy recently.

Shu An nodded, knowing that Li Tai was very interested in painting above history, and this painting happened to be bought during the war.

The only one who can be called Master Gu is Gu Kaizhi from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. If this painting is left in later generations, it will be a national treasure.

After Li Tai got Shu An's affirmation, a hint of surprise appeared on Li Tai's face. You must know that although he has seen many paintings by Mr. Gu, they were all in the palace, and they belonged to his father.

In the end, Chang Le opened the gift with a string of bracelet beads, which made this little loli a little disappointed, because the beads in the palace are not small.

"Lizhi, this is not an ordinary pearl, but a night pearl."

Seeing that Chang Le seemed a little disappointed, Shu An said with a smile in his eyes.

"Grandpa An, is this really Ye Mingzhu?"

Chang Le's eyes couldn't help but burst into light, and there was a hint of disbelief in the words, completely gone from the previous disappointment.

You must know that even if there are very few night pearls in the palace, each one is extremely precious.

As for this string of beads, although the beads are a bit smaller, they are superior in quantity and are even rarer.

"Grandpa An spent a lot of effort to make Xiao Changle happy."

Shu An said with a touch of kindness, maybe because Changle looks a little like Wugou, he loves it even more.

This string of luminous pearls is a priceless treasure even if it is placed outside, but to Shu An, it is just a dead thing, and it is not as important as his granddaughter's happiness.

"Lizhi likes Grandpa An the most."

Chang Le said happily, holding the bracelet tightly with her small hands, as if afraid of losing it.

The three of them didn't stay for long, and returned to the palace after having lunch. After all, if they were seen by others, some bad rumors would spread again.

On the day of Chinese New Year, the prince and princess did not stay in the palace, but ran out of the palace.

After seeing the figures of Gao Ming and others leaving, Shu An couldn't help shaking his head, so what if they don't know their fate in the future.

Even Shu An couldn't see clearly now, but he wasn't too entangled, after all, it seemed that Gao Ming and Qing Que had a pretty good relationship now.

During the Spring Festival, many students from Shu An came to visit the threshold of Shu Mansion, even the eldest grandson Wuji also sent invitations.

But Shu An didn't refuse this time, he wasn't so stingy in ten years, but when he just returned to Chang'an, he suddenly remembered that he was a little angry.

Of course, Shu An and Changsun Wuji also didn't say a few words, the reason is very simple, that is, although Changsun Wuji is his student.

But it was no longer the student he taught at the beginning. At least it made Shu An feel a little strange, but also a little familiar.

This trace of familiarity comes from his image of Changsun Wuji before the time travel. The so-called different ways and not conspiring with each other undoubtedly refers to the state of the two of them.

In this era, the Spring Festival is only a three-day holiday, and the court meeting will be held normally after three days.

"According to the time, it should be almost there."

Shu An thought silently, because Li Shimin, who originally wanted to carry out the reform of the imperial examination, temporarily forgot about it because of his elder Sun Shunde.

Especially the treason thing made this emperor furious, even the country was about to disappear, how could he manage the imperial examination.

However, after the rebellion incident, Li Shimin should remember this incident, because in another three or four months, the Spring Festival will begin.

If it is not announced, it will take a month or two for it to reach the various channels, let alone the news to reach the hands of the world.

Not long after, Laifu hurried to his master's side.

"My lord, Your Majesty is discussing the change of the imperial examination, and now the whole Chang'an is discussing this matter."

Laifu's voice sounded slowly, because he knew that his master was in the imperial examination, so he waited for the news of the court meeting early in the morning.

Shu An nodded, and then went into detail. It was similar to his original idea, and there was not much change.

However, it is said that there were many disputes in the court council, and in the end it was decided by Li Shimin with the support of Du Ruhui and others.
