Ding Tian's Ancient Life

Wang Zuo glanced at Ding Tian's script: "It's all compiled by some people, just watch it and have fun. Don't believe those nonsense words."

"Yeah, it's a beautiful idea." Ding Tian also lived in ancient times for a few years, and naturally knew a lot about some things in ancient times. Things like this also appeared in books and were imagined by others. On the surface, it is impossible to happen, because the opinion of the sect is definitely not just talk.

Ever since he became a lord, even the eldest sister's husband's family has urged the eldest brother-in-law to go to the entrance examination as soon as possible, otherwise the woman's natal family is too high, and their family is not worthy.

Now the second cousin is also grown up, but there is no one nearby who can match the second cousin.

The letters from the third uncle and the third aunt are very ostentatious, but the children in the family are getting older, especially the eldest cousins, and they also need to marry a daughter-in-law of the right family, but there is no suitable family nearby.

There is only such a noble family in ten miles and eight villages. It can be said that the threshold is higher than that of the county grandpa's family.

And the county grandfather's family did not have a suitable daughter.

So now, the second uncle and the second aunt hope that the Hu family's uncle will become a Juren, and they know more people. See who has a suitable girl and introduce one.

The two of them stayed in the teahouse for another three days, and finally, they got out of the Hu family's uncle.

Uncle Hu's family is alright, although he is a bit haggard, but at least he seems to be in good spirits, some candidates are carried out directly, and the people at home who accompany the test are scared to death.

Ding Tian hurriedly took his uncle back, and after another toss, it can be considered that he has settled down well.

"The rest is to look at the results." Ding Tian looked at his sleeping uncle, "This exam is about to be skinned.

"

"It's more than just skinning." Liu Wenbin said: "There are few people who persevere until the end, and even fewer people can pass the exam."

This township examination was held three times in a row, with one day between each time, and nine days of examinations. The continuous high-pressure examinations were not counted, and the environment was also very harsh. Few people could persist, and even fewer could pass the exam.

In the first game, one tenth was carried out; in the second game, one eighth was carried out; in the third game, half the amount was carried out.Scholars don't exercise in the first place, and their health is not good. If they can persist, they will see a ghost.

Of the remaining half, only one-third were successful.

In the entire province, there are thousands of scholars, more than a thousand who can take the provincial examination, and half of the people who passed the test, there are still more than 500 people, and there are 120 places for juren.

A maximum of one hundred and fifty, no more than two hundred places.

Ding Tian didn't have much confidence in his uncle, so he asked Liu Wenbin who had exam experience: "Can I pass the exam?"

"If there are no accidents, it's fine." Liu Wenbin said: "Although your uncle's writing doesn't have much aura, but he is steady and steady, his pen is bold, and he can win steadily."

"That's good." Ding Tian waited for the announcement every day.

Uncle Hu's family was quite calm: "If you pass the exam, just take the exam, if you don't pass the exam, forget it."

"After you release the list, I'm going to Beijing." Ding Tian curled his lips: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is also coming."

"This year, uncle will accompany you to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival." Uncle Hu family said with a smile: "It will be convenient for you to come back after you go to Beijing."

As a result, this Mid-Autumn Festival was very lively. Ding Tian was very satisfied with his lover and uncle by his side.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, on August [-]th, the list will be released.

Hu's uncle won the Juren, 1.

Ding Tianle's whole family gave out red envelopes, and even gave 500 taels of silver to his uncle alone: ​​"Congratulations, uncle, red envelope!"

Uncle Hu's family couldn't laugh or cry: "Your uncle is no longer a child."

"This is a red envelope for uncle, uncle has to accept it." Ding Tian was very happy: "When uncle comes to Beijing in the future, remember to find a nephew!

"

"I don't even know how I passed the exam. I still try!" Uncle Hu's family was easily satisfied. He thought it would be good if he won the exam. As for being able to take the exam, he felt far away from himself.

Uncle Hu's family won the Juren, and even Wang Zuo gave a red envelope, which was also 500 taels of silver, but Uncle Hu's did not refuse. After all, the prince is rich, but his nephew is from a grassroots background, so he accepted the red envelope from his nephew. At that time, I was a little hesitant, but I felt very at ease when I received the reward from the prince.

After receiving a bunch of presents, Uncle Hu's family planned to go home, bringing eight large carriages, a family of servants, and the name

Ding Tian gave the two keys to his uncle: "Uncle, one is the door key of Beichong Mansion's house, and the other is from here. If you bring someone to take the exam in the future, you can stay at home. Don't go to the inn, which will cost you a lot of money. Not quiet yet."

"Uncle knows." Uncle Hu's family was not polite. What he thought was that he would come to see his nephew's house every year, repair what should be repaired, and what should be refurbished. If his nephew is not at home, his house will be dilapidated.

After seeing off his uncle, Ding Tian also packed up his things and set off with Wang Zuo to Beijing.

When Wang Zuo left, it was much more sensational than when Uncle Hu left.

There are no local officials who do not come to see them off, and there is also Du Zhifu, who is now Governor Du.

Ding Tian left first and waited for Wang Zuo on the way. When Wang Zuo's Wang arrived, they met at the side of the road. Ding Tian's own car was certainly not as comfortable as Wang Zuo's carriage, so he decided to go all the way in Wang Zuo's car.

Spread out on the thick blanket, Ding Tian felt that it was not easy for people in ancient times. Short trips were fine, but long trips were a kind of torture!

Shaking, wobbling... sleep, open eyes, walking..., sleep again, open eyes, still walking....

God!

I'm so bored that I'm crying!

Wang Zuo looked at his frustrated face: "What's the matter? You were full of energy the first two days, why are you like this now?"

"It's so boring." Ding Tian squirmed and climbed onto Wang Zuo's thigh: "What should I do? It's so boring."

"Play chess?" Wang Zuo suggested.

"No!" Ding Tian curled his lips: "I can't even beat you, and you still say that I am a stinky chess basket."

That's right, Wang Zuo has been taught by a famous teacher since he was a child, and he is proficient in poetry, poetry, chess, calligraphy and painting; what about Ding Tian?Playing backgammon is okay, playing Go... I really can't play Wang Zuo.

"Then... drink tea and have snacks?" Wang Zuo smiled: "It's not impossible to read on it, but the dizziness is dizzy, no

How about playing a game together?playing cards?Bet size or something? "

Try to have fun to pass the time, because they are already moving very fast, but... no matter how fast, it will take time, he has already done it easily, long ago, Wang Fugui had already brought people and a lot of luggage and belongings first One step back to Beijing.

And now they are just a little luggage and people in Jiadingtian, the prince's guard of honor.

Every time I go to a post station, there will be someone to receive them, eat, drink and sleep. The journey is very comfortable, but it is very boring.

Ding Tian had no choice but to play games with Wang Zuo. Chess is not enough, but he can play cards and make bets.

At the beginning, it was still a serious game, but later, Ding Tian became bothered: "Playing betting, whoever loses, whoever loses, will take off one piece."

clothing!How about it? "

"Okay!" Wang Zuo nodded indifferently.

Ding Tian was overjoyed, but in the end... Of course Ding Tian lost in the end, even the ribbon on his head was won by Wang Zuo, and he looked at his man with a mournful face: "It's wrong for you to do this!"

"Then what do I want? Lose to you?" Wang Zuo shook his head: "It's too difficult!"

Ding Tian, ​​who suffered several losses, learned to be smart, changed to pushing Pai Gow, and lost...

Playing cards, this takes time and laborious work. Basically, it has reached a resting place, and he has... almost taken off.

That's it, because the weather is getting colder, he wears more clothes.

Finally, Ding Tian couldn't bear it any longer. After a certain heated activity, he lay down under the quilt after being clean and clean, and asked Wang Zuo, "Why don't you lose?"

Wang Zuo was happy: "I have learned these things since I was a child. The emperor sent someone to teach me. The dice are in my hand.

You can feel whether it is filled with lead or not, and whether it is solid, and it doesn't matter if it is an ordinary dice, and there are all kinds of precious things inlaid with gold and silver, ivory and gemstones. "

"The emperor still asked someone to teach you this?" Ding Tian was taken aback when he heard that: "Isn't this teaching bad children?"

"You don't understand." But Wang Zuo said, "There are countless temptations in this world, especially for people like me who were born in the noble family of Tianhuang. Not to mention beautiful women, there are all kinds of food and wine. There are countless temptations. , Which one doesn't fascinate people? I grew up rich and well-fed, and I have never been short of money, so if someone wants to bribe me, it is useless to give me money; don't mention beautiful women, I have never seen them since I was a child How much! I don’t like fine wine. I have tasted the best fine wines such as Yuquanyao with a hundred years old. There are even fine wines with a thousand years old. When a family was digging a cave, they found an ancient wine cellar, which was filled with large urns. Good wine has a history of thousands of years, so what you drink is not wine, but gold!"

Ding Tian listened leisurely and fascinated: "That is definitely soft gold!"

"When I was young, the emperor's uncle told me that even if it's a small gamble, I have to play it well. I won't let me get involved in gambling, but I can't do it even if I don't know how to gamble. Even if it's a scam, I have to be the cheater. , not a fool who was deceived by others." Wang Zuo said: "People like us often encounter traps."

"It's so miserable!" Ding Tian stretched out his hand and patted Wang Zuo's head: "You guys also had times when you had to."

"That's right!" Wang Zuo succeeded, and he gave Ding Tian a precaution by the way: "After entering the capital, the capital is prosperous, so don't lose yourself.

"

Although he believed that Ding Tian wouldn't turn bad, he didn't believe that those old foxes in the capital had all become smart, with their minds twisted and twisted. He didn't know if someone like Tian'er would be counted against. .

"Don't worry, I won't lose myself!" Ding Tianxin said, he, a modern person's soul, would be tempted by ancient people?No matter how beautiful Mei Jiao Niang is, can she be as beautiful as the modern artificial beauties?

Besides, gold, silver and treasures... can there be banknotes to attract people?

Ding Tian's concentration is actually not very good, mainly because he sees the world from a different angle than the ancients.

If a golden mountain and business affairs are put together, he will choose business affairs without saying a word.

But if a mountain of banknotes is piled up with business, he will at least think about it, and he will choose business after being greedy for money...

While they were still on the road, Jingzhong had already received the news.

The pattern of Kyoto is rich in the east and rich in the west, flat in the south and soldiers in the north.

That is to say, the east city is noble, the west city is rich, the south city is civilian, and the north city is used as barracks.

As for the middle, ahem, of course the middle is the palace.

In Dongcheng, under the root of the imperial city, the nearest street is a very famous street called Yizi Street.

Why is it called "One Character Street"?

Because the people who live here are all kings with one word.

Although it is called a street, it is actually hundreds of miles long. However, there are only eight families in such a large place.

That is the palace of the eight iron hat kings.

Almost every family has several hutongs, plus gardens, pavilions and lakes, covering a very large area, but the atmosphere here is strict, not to mention small merchants and peddlers, even ordinary people, scribes and officials, Neither can appear here.

Those who come and go are either royal relatives or relatives, or high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

Thirty to fifty guards stood at the door of every house.

The courtyard walls are green bricks and green tiles, and the gates are red and inlaid with copper nails.

There are two big stone lions at the door, carrying the majesty of the king.

In Yizi Street, there is a mansion that occupies a very large area, and this one alone occupies two tenths of the area.

The five separate high gates are built in a very grand style, and the heads of dragons and beasts are used on the cornices. Most people dare not use this thing, and it would be a crime to use it.

There is a huge plaque in the middle of the gatehouse, with four gold-plated characters written on it: The inscription of Prince Ning's Mansion is Emperor Taiping, which is the calligraphy of the founding emperor.

There is also a smaller plaque on it, with five characters inlaid in pure gold: "One character shoulder to shoulder" and the inscription is Emperor Ningping, which is the calligraphy of the second emperor.
