Longevity of the Turtle Chapter 146: Revisiting the old place (Part 1)
The next day at Sisi, Taiyuan University.
'Tai Scholars are the place for wise men and the source of education'...The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty promoted culture and education. In the fifth year after he ascended the throne, he expanded the scale of Tai Institute several times. Originally, Tai Institute only accepted the descendants of civil and military officials with official titles of fifth grade or above.
Qiqin, or the great-grandsons of officials of third rank and above. After that, all the descendants of civil and military officials with official titles of seventh rank and above, Qiqin, or the great-grandsons of officials of fifth rank and above can be admitted to study. This institution of Ether College is becoming more and more popular.
The number of doctors in the college has increased year by year, and the number of disciples in the college has also increased day by day.
Although the Northern Wei Dynasty has been prosperous in recent years, its culture and education have never been as good as that of the New Tang Dynasty. After thousands of years, the New Tang Dynasty is still the benchmark for the culture of the Central Plains, and it can be said that the literary bones are clank. In addition, in recent years, the first examination of the humble family has been hosted by Taiyuan University, so Taiyuan University has become the new Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains.
A flag of the New Tang Dynasty. During the heyday of the New Tang Dynasty, the royal families of small neighboring countries often took pride in sending their royal relatives to study in the New Tang Dynasty. Now, in the face of the general trend of the strong Wei and the weak Tang, they are still more willing to send their princes and grandchildren to study.
Studying in New Tang Tai College has always been a point of pride for New Tang scholars.
At this time, there was already a sea of people at the gate of Taixuan College. The disciples who came to take part in the cold examination were waiting anxiously and excitedly at the gate of Taixuan College. Some people stood boredly with their arms folded in front of their chests, looking at Taixuan without saying a word.
The gate of the college; some people were squatting on the ground, holding small branches in their hands, and drawing something on the ground; some people simply sat on the ground and closed their eyes to meditate.
After a while, there was only a "squeak" sound of the door opening, and the disciples in front of the courtyard looked at it——
The door to Taiyuan University is finally open!
There was a commotion in the crowd. The standing students rushed to the door immediately, while the squatting students jumped up from the ground like frogs. The students sitting on the ground felt a little disadvantaged and hurriedly climbed up with their hands on the ground, not even bothering to pat their butts.
With the ash in his hand, he followed the other students and walked towards the door.
I saw a doctor walking out of the hospital. He looked at the scene at the entrance of the hospital calmly, as if he was used to it. The doctor stroked his finger-length beard on his chin, and then took out a copy of "The Thousand Character Classic" from behind.
, skillfully rolled it into a tube shape. Then he waved his hand, and two slightly younger doctors quickly moved a table over. The doctor lifted his robe and climbed up with difficulty with the help of the other two doctors.
He went to the table, cleared his throat, put the rolled "Thousand Character Classic" in front of his mouth, took a deep breath, exerted all his strength from the Dantian to his throat, and shouted——
"Quiet! Quiet! Students, be quiet!"
After shouting "Quiet" three times in a row, the students stopped making noise and told others around them to be silent. After a while, the entrance of the Imperial College, which just looked like a market, was completely silent.
Seeing this change, Dr. Nagasu nodded slightly, looking extremely satisfied. Then, he shouted loudly——
"Dear students, in line with the virtues of God, grateful for the grace of the Holy One, and thanks to the blessing of Sir, we, the Tang Dynasty Taipei University, have the honor to host the first cold examination! Today is the registration day, all students, please follow my arrangements, and all the students of Tang Dynasty Taipei University will gather at Taipei University.
Line up at the center of the college gate! Students from the Northern Wei Dynasty all gather at the stone lion on the left side of the gate and line up! Students from other countries gather at the stone lion on the right side and line up! Doctors from Taiyuan University will call you in the courtyard later. Be sure to line up.
Enter one by one, if the order is messed up, they will be beaten out with sticks!"
After listening to the doctor's words, everyone immediately lined up like ants migrating and stopped making noise.
…
On the street, Qin Jingqing led the four of them to the Imperial College in a leisurely manner. Along the way, he kept introducing everything about Chang'an to Yi Hongyan and the four of them with great interest, and it seemed that he was not in a hurry at all.
"Chang'an is the capital of our Tang Dynasty, with abundant resources and outstanding people. If you have free time in the future, I would like to be your guide and take you around this thousand-year-old capital..."
"Even this eminent Buddhist monk also took a fancy to our great relationship with Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the eminent monk Xuanzang traveled to Tianzhu to the west and brought back Buddha statues, relics and Sanskrit classics to the Ci'en Temple tower hidden in the Ci'en Temple in the southeast corner of the city...
..No! The street to the west of Ci'en Temple is Zhuque Street. Walking along Zhuque Street to the north is Tai Chi Palace. The official family is in Tai Chi Palace... Thousands of years ago, the Emperor of Zhou established his capital.
Here, it was named 'Hao Jing', and the people of Chang'an also liked to call the capital 'King To', so..."
Qin Jingqing introduced it eloquently, and Yingping and Yiyi listened with interest. They asked questions from time to time, and Qin Jingqing could answer them fluently.
Yi Hongyan admires Mr. Qin from the bottom of his heart. He hasn't stopped talking since we met yesterday. The key is that you still find these words he said... quite interesting? The so-called smooth tongue.
But that’s it!
Ye Changshan, who was silent on the side, didn't have much thought to listen to what Qin Jingqing said. At this moment, he was still very confused, and he just wanted to register at Taiyuan College as soon as possible.
While Qin Jingqing was eloquent, he glanced at Ye Changshan from the corner of his eye from time to time. Although his focus was on Yingping, how could a well-rounded person like him not see that Yingping and Ye Changshan were brothers? So he never ignored Ye Changshan.
Along the way, Qin Jingqing saw Ye Changshan's thoughtful look, so he found a gap and walked up to him and asked, "Young Master Ye seems to have something on his mind."
Ye Changshan didn't expect that Qin Jingqing would come over and pay attention to him. He was a little confused at the moment, so he could only find a reason and said: "Oh... No, no... I just want to go to Taiyuan University to register as soon as possible. I saw students on the way.
They all walked towards Taipei University. There must be a lot of people at the registration office, and they were afraid that they would have to queue up if they arrived late..."
"Ah? Haha - Young Master Ye, there is no need to panic. Jingqing has arranged everything by himself, so don't worry!" Qin Jingqing said confidently, with a slightly mysterious tone and eyes full of pride.
Seeing what Qin Jingqing said, Ye Changshan had no choice but to nod and say nothing.
It was nearly noon, and the scorching sun was already directly overhead.
The group of people slowly and leisurely swayed to the east side of Taiyue College. After turning the corner, the four of them were stunned by the sight in front of them - they saw three long queues lined up at the entrance of Taiyue College, which seemed to be endless. Students are here
Standing in the queue under the scorching sun with their sleeves to shade them, they endured great pain for the sake of their dreams. However, all the students were surprisingly disciplined. No one made any noise, and no one dared to jump in line. It was obvious that they cherished this last opportunity.
This...is this a queue to collect money? This is too exaggerated! Yingping said in shock. Although he had been mentally prepared before, he was still frightened by this scene. There were so many believers that they were standing in formation.
With its huge size and the great importance attached to it by the Taiyuan Academy, it deserves its reputation as the number one sect in the Central Plains.
Sighing, Yingping felt helpless at the late hour. He looked at the 'people' and sighed: "What can we do with so many people? It will take until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse."
"Master, don't panic, Jingqing has his own way."
Qin Jingqing said it calmly. Then he walked towards the doctor who was standing on the table and shouted, bowed his hands and said -
"Master Chen, long time no see! How are you doing?"
The master surnamed Chen seemed to be familiar with Qin Jingqing. When he saw him coming forward, a smile appeared on his straight face. However, Master Chen was old and the skin on his face had become wrinkled. This smile was actually worse than crying.
Ugly.
"So it's Mr. Qin. What's wrong? Didn't your old man register your name for you? Why did you come here in person?"
Seeing Mrs. Chen's smiling face, Qin Jingqing quickly added: "Recently, I am still confused about some words in the Book of Rites, so I came here to ask Master for advice!"
"Young master Qin has come early and late, but he has come to Taiyuan College at this time to ask for advice on the Book of Rites. Didn't you see that I am busy?"
"Hey, if it is a trivial matter, I will definitely not bother you at this time, but I am studying the "Book of Rites" at home. I don't want to know the meaning of some words, and I can't understand it after thinking about it, so that I can't drink tea and can't sleep at night.
So I took the Book of Rites with me and came to Taiyuan University to seek advice."
"So...you brought the 'gift money'?"
"Exactly, this junior brought the 'gift money'."
After that, Qin Jingqing took out a small piece of silver from nowhere and flicked it into Master Chen's sleeve without anyone noticing. His technique was extremely skilled and it seemed that he had practiced it countless times.
Master Chen gently raised his sleeves to weigh the weight, and then the smile on his face gradually broadened.
"Since Young Master Qin is so eager to learn, then come to the courtyard with me."
Seeing Mrs. Chen turn around and walk towards the courtyard, Qin Jingqing quickly turned around and waved, signaling Ye Changshan and Yingping to follow.
Upon seeing this, Yingping and Ye Changshan hurriedly followed in. Yi Hongyan seemed to have thought of something and followed with Yiyi.
When he walked into Taiyuan University, he saw students from all over the world who had already entered were registering information at the table. After registering, the doctor from the college handed him a bamboo stick and said: "Take this bamboo stick tomorrow and come to the east gate of Taiyuan University to take the exam.
Card".
The students received the bamboo sticks and walked out happily, without forgetting to say thank you.
Qin Jingqing led the two of them and followed Master Chen to the inner courtyard. When they reached the door of a room, Master Chen stopped. He raised his finger and pointed to the room, indicating to Qin Jingqing to go in.
Qin Jingqing nodded his thanks in a row, and then led the four people towards the room. Just as Qin Jingqing was about to turn around and show off something to Yingping with a proud look on his face, suddenly an old man and a middle-aged man came from the room.
Conversation——
"Mr. Qin, haven't you already signed up for yourself and Mr. Qin? Why do you have to come at this busy time of Taipei University?"
The voice of an old man came first, and his tone seemed a little impatient.
The middle-aged man who was called "Mr. Qin" quickly smiled and said: "Master Zhang, long time no see! It's a trivial matter and I will not bother you at this time, but I am studying the "Book of Rites" at home and don't want to know some words.
I couldn’t figure out what I meant after thinking about it, so I couldn’t drink tea and couldn’t sleep at night, so I took the Book of Rites with me and came to Taiyuan University to seek advice!”
"So, you brought the 'gift money'?"
"Exactly, this junior brought the 'gift money'."
There was only a "squeak" sound, as if some box had been opened, and then there was another "bang" sound, as if the box had been closed again.
"Well, what do you want Master Qin to ask for?"
"Hey... Master, I'm telling you the truth! Quanzi came with me to take the test this time. I am just joining in the fun to show my respect for you. But what about Quanzi? Although he is still young,
But he is talented and intelligent, and if he can be polished, he will definitely have a lot of potential in the future! I don’t expect to be born late in this poor family, but the selection of officials..."
Qin Jingqing heard vaguely outside the door, and felt that the voice was very familiar. However, there was a little noise in the courtyard, so he couldn't tell who was in the room for a while. So, he walked in first - this time
Qin Jingqing was shocked when he entered the door. He stood at the door like a wooden chicken, his eyes full of astonishment. His mouth opened unconsciously. If a wooden chicken could lay eggs at this time, he would definitely stuff the wooden eggs in his mouth.
Chapter completed!
