Chapter 56(1/2)
: Shooting the first bird
When Li Gen heard this, he immediately stopped!
Kong Yingda turned around and walked towards the bookshelf.
At this time, Li Gen could only see Kong Yingda with his back turned to him, rummaging for something on the bookshelf.
After a while, Kong Yingda walked up to Li Gen with a pile of books and examination papers.
"My friend, these examination papers are from all the imperial examination papers from the Sui Dynasty to the present."
Li Gen's heart was beating excitedly when he heard this.
This is a priceless treasure!
Only people like Master Kong can collect so many test papers!
"I have commented on these Four Books and Five Classics in many places. You can take them and read them!"
Li Gen solemnly stretched out his hands and took over the books and examination papers.
Then he bowed deeply and saluted.
Turned around and left Master Kong's room.
Although the old man didn't speak much, Li Gen was deeply moved.
Li Gen left quickly because he didn't want others to see his red eyes.
Exit Master Kong's room.
Li Gen wiped his eyes with his sleeves.
Then he strode towards the entrance of the Imperial College.
"Zhao Si, from now on, after delivering dishes to Prince Hejian every day, he will deliver two dishes and a jug of wine to Master Kong."
"By the way, send a sack of bean sprouts to the Imperial College every day!"
Li Gen boarded the carriage and gave instructions.
When Zhao Si heard the words, he nodded and agreed.
After returning home, Li Gen began to look through the examination papers from previous years.
These are all blank papers that can truly test Li Gen's true talent and learning.
After reading the exam papers.
Li Gen finally understood.
My own imagination of the imperial examinations in this era was a bit too simple.
If it weren't for these test papers that gave me a blow to the head.
Li Gen naively thought that being named on the gold list was just a matter of chance.
The Four Books and Five Classics personally annotated by Kong Yingda were also of great help to Li Gen.
After all, this is the opinion of contemporary great Confucians.
Three days later.
Li Shimin announced to the world.
The news that the imperial examination was about to begin quickly spread throughout the 108 squares of Chang'an City.
After Li Gen heard the news, he focused more on his studies.
Fulgen Restaurant has been open for ten days.
The restaurant's business is so booming that everyone is amazed!
The appointment date is now more than a month away.
Compared with the nearly 100 restaurants in Chang'an City, the number of restaurants is sparse.
Fugen Restaurant is crowded with people every day and extremely lively.
Some people from the Qiwang and Guanlong families of the fifth surname and the eighth family have been unable to sit still for a long time.
For years!
Almost all the business in Chang'an City is controlled by them.
The centuries-old heritage left by their ancestors has made their family richer and stronger.
I am becoming more and more confident!
However, Fulgen's Restaurant forced them to be cautious.
A restaurant where you need to bring staple food to eat and drink.
A restaurant that requires advance reservation.
On the first day, the prince and princess of Hejian County, Prime Minister Du Xiang and Changsun Wuji, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao gathered together with their families in the restaurant.
Such a luxurious lineup makes some people have to treat it with caution!
So they could only watch as Fulgen Restaurant made money every day.
Before finding out the details of the restaurant manager, we can only wait and see for the time being.
However, there are their people around the restaurant every day, paying attention to every move in the restaurant.
today!
The show they had been waiting for was finally here.
There are many dandies in Chang'an City.
The sun was shining brightly at this time.
It's the busiest time for Fulgen's Restaurant.
Two young men dressed in brocade walked straight to Fulgen's Restaurant in a swaggering manner.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way! If you don't go in to have a drink, you'll be blocking the door at the door!"
It was Chai Lingwu who spoke.
Speaking of Chai Lingwu.
His life experience is not simple.
His father, Chai Shaonai, was the Duke of Huo State and made great military exploits for the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.
Mother Li Xiuning is even more extraordinary.
During Li Yuan's rebellion, Li Xiuning formed the Detachment of Women.
Li Shimin, the offensive faction in Guanzhong, conquered a large area of land by force.
A real-life version of Hua Mulan was staged.
It was precisely because Li Xiuning controlled the land in Guanzhong that Li Shimin had no worries when Li Yuan sent Li Shimin to attack Chang'an City.
It's a pity that Li Xiuning died young!
The grieving Li Yuan buried his daughter with unprecedented military honors.
Funeral day!
The entire city of Chang'an was immersed in sadness.
Soldiers carry the coffin!
General sends you off!
The name of Princess Pingyang Zhao will also be remembered throughout the ages!
"Didn't you hear Mr. Chai's words? Are you guys all blind?"
It was Gao Wenmin who spoke, and Gao Wenmin carried out the words!
This person's life experience is not simple either.
His father was Gao Shilian, the official of Zhongshu Ling.
The biological uncle of the Queen Empress and Changsun Wuji, the Minister of Civil Affairs.
It was he who took Changsun Wuji and Changsun Wuji back to his mansion to raise them when they were desperate.
And he tried his best to arrange the marriage between Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou.
Because of his love for the house and the crow, Li Shimin also thought highly of Gao Shilian.
Hey!
In the crowd around the restaurant, some people's eyes suddenly shone.
Chai Lingwu, Gao Xiuxi.
The two of them can definitely become the touchstone of Fulgen Restaurant today.
