    The imperial courts of all dynasties have regulations on the exams in Beijing: grant toll subsidies to those who travel far away, five taels of silver in Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and other provinces, and thirty taels of silver in Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong and other provinces.  The candidates can go directly to the local chief envoy to collect them, and at the same time they will be issued fire cards.  With the fire card, you can pick up a horse-drawn carriage at the post station along the road. The yellow flag of "Ministry of Rites will test" is inserted on the carriage, and the name is "bus", and the treatment is very good.

    The twelfth day of the first month of the first year of Yuantong [1333].  A group of five including Ji Xu, Liu Ji, Liu Yuchun and two servant boys went to Beijing for the examination and arrived at Tongzhou, the northern end of the Grand Canal.

    There was a post station on the pier that specially received candidates for the Beijing Examination. Ji Xu and the others took a carriage and two mounts from the post station.  Ji Xu and Liu Ji galloped happily towards the capital on horseback, Liu Yuchun also urged the servant boy and whipped the carriage to follow closely behind them.

    The breeze blew by, and the rustling sound hovered in my ears.

    This breeze has a very tacit understanding with this road, this river and this wilderness.  The trees on the side of the road are lonely, the water in the river is lonely, even the main road that people like to walk the most is also lonely

    All the loneliness made Ji Xu slow down. He took out the thousand paper cranes that Liu Haohao had just opened on the boat, and saw the pink paper that read:

    "The cold cicadas are miserable. It's late to the Changting Pavilion, and the showers have just stopped. There is nothing to drink in the tents of the capital. Nostalgia, the Lanzhou urges them. Holding hands and looking at the tearful eyes, I am speechless. After reading and going, thousands of miles of mist, the dusk is deep and the sky is wide.  .

    Passionate since ancient times hurt parting, even more embarrassing, desolate Qingqiu Festival!  Where are you sober tonight?  Willow bank, dawn wind and waning moon.  After many years, it should be a good time for a good time.  Even if there are thousands of styles, who can I tell?  "

    [2] "The Song Is Flying" Hou Changchun. Lyrics Hu Bin. Song

    Ji Xu took out the beautiful emerald green bamboo flute in the package, it was given to him by Liu Haohao, and there was still her red lip print on it.

    Ji Xu carefully leaned his mouth up, and blew out a love song leisurely¡ª¡ª

    [Song] "A swan goose flies in the sky, gallops forward and never regrets. Touching the bamboo flute of love and playing this song for you, the true love is like flowing water.

    A letter from home shed tears of lovesickness, who painted your beauty in green.  In my dream, I took off the moon and gave it to you as a treasure, and the vast pride opened my heart.

    My love is all prepared for you, my love is all intoxicated, my heart is drunk, my dreams are drunk, and I sing your beauty.  My love is all prepared for you, my love is all intoxicated, my heart is flying and my dreams are flying, and I will always be with you"

    ? The canal turns to Caoda Capital,

    Riding the horse up the Chunfeng embankment.

    ? Jiuligang is adjacent to Yuhuang Dam,

    ? There was no long-term plan but a panic.

    Along the way, they saw only three or four fishermen.  Each family has only one thatched hut, a yellow dog, and a fence around the thatched hut. A few chickens and ducks are scattered in the fence, and there may be only one owner.

    At noon, they came to Yuhuangba.  They stopped their horses, went down to the bottom of the slope, and came to a fisherman's house.

    This household is an old man, hale and hearty, with a ruddy complexion.  There is a well in the yard, and there is a basin of clear water on the edge of the well, and a carp is lying in the clear water.

    Ji Xu smiled and asked: "Is this from the river?"

    The old man stroked his beard, showed his uneven teeth, and said, "The river carp has been in his life, and he has never been out. He catches and eats it during festivals and festivals. It's delicious." His eyebrows twitched with his laughter.  .

    The old man made them "braised carp" and served them a pot of home-brewed liquor.

    Liu Yuchun said to Liu Ji: "We have finally arrived in the capital. Before the four of us went to Beijing for the exam, I asked you to divination. You stretched out a finger and said nothing. Among the four of us, now only Li Jia  Didn't come, do you still count on your finger?"

    Liu Ji took a sip of wine and said: "Of course! My 'one finger' means: one person can't come, one person can't pass the exam, and one person can hug a beauty"

    Ji Xu and Liu Yuchun looked at me and I looked at you, feeling a little apprehensive, because this was the last scientific examination for the imperial court, and they were afraid that they would fail the test.  Especially Ji Xu, he only had the sergeant to go, and this time he was planning to burn the boat.  He secretly made up his mind: "I must give all I have to get Prime Minister Boyan."

    After dinner, they turned west and headed towards Kyoto.

    After a short walk, a bridge appeared in front of us. It seemed that it had been there for many years. The sides of the bridge were painted with dragons, the base of blue bricks and stones, and moss was splashed near the water surface.  Looking at the disfigured stone bridge that had already collapsed, Ji Xu felt heartbroken.All of them are paved with bluestone and rouge stone, with blue-gray limestone strips paved vertically on both sides, and rouge stone arranged horizontally in the middle.

    Over the years, the old street still maintains its old style, still elegant and antique.

    The surroundings of Donghua Road are extremely prosperous, but "Jiangsu Zhenhai Guild Hall" is in a noisy environment, showing its tranquility and elegance, and making the whole street reveal a mysterious atmosphere and rich cultural atmosphere.

    It's day, it's bright.

    The willow trees on both sides of the street spread out their yellow and green branches, gently fluttering in the slight spring breeze, like groups of fairies in green dresses dancing.  The few plum blossoms sandwiched between the willows have already bloomed bright flowers. The green willows and red flowers are really beautiful!

    A warm current ushered in Liu Yuchun's good mood.

    Several strings of red lanterns were hung on the tree, putting "jewelry" on the tree.

    "Ring ring ring", a gust of wind blows.  The wind chimes in several shops rang with the dance of the wind.

    "Boom boom boom", the sound of gongs and drums poured into the street from all directions.

    In an instant, the street was full of traffic, and people were talking and laughing.  The street that had been sleeping soundly woke up instantly.

    Liu Yuchun hurriedly returned to the guild hall, and called Ji Xu and Liu Ji to go out for a spring outing together.

    Ji Xu said: "I won't go, my friend asked me to find a good calligraphy and painting in the capital and give it to someone."  Eye."

    Liu Yuchun said: "Let Bowen accompany you. Brother Bowen has done a lot of research on this trip."

    Liu Ji smiled and said to Ji Xu: "Let's go, Brother Kaiduan" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
