The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Guo Nuan actually came to this street just to see the atmosphere.Today's pre-examination period seems to be very lively.Street stalls are everywhere.It is said that during the scientific examination.Candidates are most nervous besides reviewing.There is still something to do is to burn high incense.fortune telling.Baiwen Quxing.

By the way, who is Wenquxing?This is a test of gods recognized by scholars.His name is Emperor Wenchang.It is said that in the heavenly court is the god who controls the fame of literary fortune.There is no reason for these candidates who think about getting fame day and night.If Wen Qugong's magic spells from the sky bring good luck to the examinees.Isn't the gold list nomination developed?

So on a few temples along the street.Whether it is a Buddha in a Buddhist temple.Buddha.Or the Jade Emperor of Taoism.Immortals of all walks of life.Their confessions are full of tributes.Incense burns on the censer.Smoky.

Especially in Taoist temples.Kneel down and worship Wenquxing.But extremely hot.After the worship, by the way, do fortune-telling at the fortune-telling blind man at the door.See if it ranks high school.

Guo Nuan and Ah Fu passed by a fortune-telling stall.A circle of scholars lined up there for fortune-telling.During this period of time, Blind Zhang has made a lot of money.The business of these ten days.At least two or three hundred hexagrams can be received every day.

Calculate according to one hexagram and ten Wenqian.No matter what the fortune teller said, he also saved 35 taels of silver in half a month.I imagined that after closing the stall in the evening, I could take the money and go to the Fukang Restaurant opposite to have a delicious meal.Then order three or two pieces of brand new and bright blue cloth gowns and trousers in the tailor shop.Are there 30 taels left?According to the savings of more than 90 taels accumulated before.Find some relatives to borrow 50 taels.Maybe you can go to the countryside and marry a widow and village girl as your wife.have a baby.Wouldn't it be fun to cook?

It is said that blind Zhang was blind in one eye because he was stabbed when he was young.If you are over 38 years old.It's almost four.Haven't married a wife yet.Can you not be in a hurry?

"Master, let's see if Xiaosheng can pass the Jinshi examination. Become a Huiyuan." A well-dressed young man took out a piece of snowflake silver from his clothes.Glowing silver luster.Very attractive.

Talk about Huiyuan.It is the No. 1 obtained in the test.

"Ahem." Blind Zhang looked at such a piece of silver.The little eyes lit up immediately.This ingot of silver is worth half a day's income of more than 100 hexagrams.It's just a hair.

In order to be able to afford this ingot of silver.The blind man opened his cloudy old eye which was not blind.Looking at the birthday horoscope handed over by the young man.Pretending to be deep, he pinched his fingers and muttered quickly.

He looked around at the long-awaited scholars.He asked the young man to come over and whisper: "Last night, I watched the sky. A star Wenqu star descended from the southwestern sky. This is a god descending from the earth. Good luck. Congratulations."

"That means..." The young man looked at the blind Mr. Zhang Suangua with a happy expression on his face.He couldn't help feeling excited.Ask again and again.Almost screamed.

"The heavenly secret must not be leaked. The heavenly secret must not be leaked. Go back and review quickly. Wait for the good news." Blind Zhang pretended to be mysterious and made the young man obey.He generously took out another ingot of silver from his sleeve and placed it on the fortune-telling table.Le's blind man opened his mouth from ear to ear.

Anyway, did I directly say that the young man will definitely get a good ranking?At that time, I did not pass the exam and came back to question.Blind Zhang can also fool the past.It's just wrong.Even when I call him, I have nothing to say.

Most of the next few scholars also asked about the admission of tribute students.Jinshi had the same problem.Blind Zhang repeats his old tricks.Let them do fortune-telling one-on-one each time.Soon, all the smiling scholars were sent away.

"Huiyuan. There is only one quota for Huiyuan. How can there be so many Huiyuan for you in this scientific examination." After the guests dispersed.Blind Zhang muttered.I saw him cheerfully putting a large pile of scattered copper coins on the fortune-telling table into the cloth bag.It's gone.

"Let's go. Let's do a fortune telling." Guo Nuan and Ah Fu, who were watching the excitement just now, happened to see this scene of Blind Zhang.For a while, Guo Nuan was stubborn.He had the idea of ​​a mischievous joke.

Hold back a smile.Look at this blind Zhang who likes to fool scholars.Guo Nuan led Ah Fu to his fortune-telling booth.

"Ahem. Old mister. Please calculate your career for me." Guo Nuan grabbed the writing brush on the stage.He wrote his birth date on yellow paper and handed it to the blind man.

"On the first day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar," the blind man Zhang looked at the handsome young man.Extraordinary bearing.Take it easy.He opened his one eye wide.According to the way he has seen people he has known for many years.This son is not simple.Not at all as impetuous as the previous scholars of the same age rushing to take the exam.

"Eh..." The blind man Zhang saw that the handwriting was vigorous and powerful.It seems to have the demeanor of a master.He couldn't help but hold back his face in awe.Look at this birthday again.The first day of April.Child time.Rather rare.Unique yet.Blind Zhang flipped through a yellowed Book of Changes from the desk drawer.Look at the hexagram.This horoscope official luck is prosperous.

"My lord is asking about official career..." Blind Zhang pondered for a while.It is estimated that this son is accompanied by a boy.It seems that he is a Gong student rushing for the exam.No doubt from the handwriting.A rare style of everyone.Majestic, heroic and powerful.But from the calmness of brief speech and demeanor.It is estimated that the family of this young man is very likely to be a wealthy businessman.Maybe officials are not necessarily.

In fact, look at the fine silk fabric and exquisite dyeing process.Blind Zhang can see it even if he is blind in one eye.This young man's family is very good.In addition, the calmness on his face is different from that of ordinary young people.I'm afraid I have experienced a lot of big worlds.

"En. Young Master, I think he has extraordinary bearing. According to the birth date, he will be a blockbuster in this scientific examination. The future is boundless. Maybe it is possible to get into the top three Jinshi."

Although the blind Zhang said that he usually pinches nonsense to the people who come to meet him in order to make ends meet.But there is still some experience in knowing people.These words made the book boy giggle softly.Ah Fu thought in his heart: This one-eyed blind man also has some skills.I can see how extraordinary my young master is.But half a sentence was wrong.The young master has already won the first prize.Said to scare you to death.

"It's pretty good. I'd like to borrow your words." Guo Nuan took out a gold ingot with a smile.Under the dumbfounded gaze of the blind man.Yuanbao gently placed on the table

"This...Young Master. The money for fortune-telling... can't be so much." It is said that the blind Zhang is a commoner.I have never seen a golden ingot at such a close distance.He couldn't believe it.Trembling, he pushed it back.That being said, it's a lot of money.Although blind men love money.But it is unavoidable to feel uneasy if you accept it hastily.Is this clearly a scam?If you are offended afterwards.Maybe it's unlucky to meet the son of an official family.I can't eat and walk around.

But it's worth at least 100 taels of silver.The wives who marry a daughter-in-law all at once already have it all.

"I'm in a good mood. In addition to the hexagram money, this ingot of gold ingots will be rewarded to you." Guo Nuan took Ah Fu away with a smile.

"Young master. That's right. Beware of villains in the near future." The blind man looked at Guo Nuan who was gradually leaving.He suddenly remembered something.But Guo Nuan and Ah Fu had already disappeared around the corner of the street.But I don't know if they heard

It is said that the birth date is mentioned.Guo Nuan's birthday falls on the first day of the fourth lunar month.It is said that the test will start on the fifth day of April.Tomorrow is Guo Nuan's birthday.

The princess mansion is decorated with lanterns and festoons.Light the red lanterns.Hanging strips of color.Purchased a large number of fireworks and firecrackers.And banquet food and drink.It is estimated that there will be more than 200 wine tables in the mansion tomorrow.Almost all princes and nobles in Chang'an City will come to celebrate.It can be seen that Guo Nuan has a wide network of contacts.

Guo Nuan inspected the street.He casually glanced at the compound of the examination room on Furong Street, which was sealed with a seal.The large yard is used for exam preparation in a few days.Out the door was sealed.Miscellaneous people are not allowed to enter outside.There are also a few patrol officers who are on guard at the gate.It seems that the preparations for the examination room inside have been completed.

Guo Nuan didn't reveal her identity and went up to disturb the officials' duties.He carried Ah Fu around the exam street.

"Master. Why are we wandering around here?" Ah Fu blinked his clear eyes.Can't help but ask curiously.The surrounding inns are full of customers.They are full of students.In addition to candidates are candidates.What's there to see.

"Let's check out the exam environment." Guo Nuanruo replied with a meaningful smile.

It is said that as the invigilator of this scientific examination.Guo Nuan needs to strengthen the investigation of anti-cheating.He took Ah Fu around and around.There are many alleys and side roads around.Almost fainted.He finally came to a lonely street.

"I heard from the spies. This area is dedicated to providing some cheating tools for candidates." Guo Nuan whispered to Ah Fu.

Ah Fu suddenly realized.He is strange.Why did the young master send many servants to the examination street to handle errands the day before yesterday?It turned out to be to find out the cheating shooter.And cheating provider vendors do.

Guo Nuan stepped onto the steps of a small civilian courtyard.He knocked on the wooden door.After a while.There was a crunch.Open a gap.A middle-aged man with the appearance of an old scholar with triangular eyes poked his head out.He watched Guo Nuan outside the door vigilantly.

"The moonlight is bright in front of the bed." Triangular eyes said a poem lightly.

"The sun is at the end of the mountain," Guo Nuan replied indifferently.

"Ah..." Ah Fu was a little speechless.Talk about this poem by Li Bai.Isn't the next sentence "suspected to be frost on the ground"?Why did it go to another poem that doesn't match the tune?

"Come in." Triangle Eyes opened the door and pulled behind Guo Nuan and Ah Fu.Before closing the door, he poked his head out and looked at both sides of the cold street outside the door.After confirming that there are no abnormalities.Then he slammed the door shut.

Into a quiet courtyard.Triangle Eyes brought Guo Nuan and Ah Fu to the West Wing.Inside, several scholars were talking with a middle-aged man.There are pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the shelves.Examination tools such as book boxes.

Afu was a little puzzled.This family is so weird.Like a thief.Make it mysterious.There is also a shop at home.Look at these ten or so scholars.Such a hidden place is still so lively.It seems that the stationery business is not bad.
