Chapter 82 Gifts, Imperial Examination Reform

"Crackle horn!"

With the sound of firecrackers, it heralds the arrival of the new year.

There is also a pair of couplets hanging in front of Shufu, which has attracted the attention of many scholars.

"A hundred years of time are good, and the eternal country is new."

The horizontal batch of Vientiane updates, coupled with Shu An's handwriting, made countless scholars obsessed.

"An Xuangong, this is well written."

"The war has just been far away, and it is indeed a good day for many people."

"It's a pity that Shumen's ten questions are too difficult, otherwise I would ask An Xuangong for a couplet."

.....

There was a lot of discussion in front of Shufu, and the scholars who came and went were attracted by this couplet at first sight.

At this time, Shu An in the Shu Mansion didn't care about Chang'an Shizi's opinion, and at this time, his face was falling on the few small points in front of him.

Although Chinese New Year's Eve did not come, on the first day of the new year, they all came, led by Gao Ming.

"Grandpa An, Happy New Year!"

Seeing that the three children who had not grown up in his opinion saluted respectfully and said loudly, as if they had practiced before, the corners of Shu An's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Even Li Yuan is afraid that he doesn't have this treatment, but Li Yuan has dozens of children, and there is no need to say much about grandchildren.

"In the new year, Grandpa An also prepared a gift for the three of you."

Shu An looked at the three Gao Ming in front of him and said slowly, speaking of which, this was the first New Year he had seen the three of them, so he prepared a gift.

After the words fell, Gao Ming's eyes lit up, and Changle, who couldn't help but be curious, had already taken the lead in speaking.

"Grandpa An, what kind of gift?"

"Blessing, bring it."

Shu An was ready to speak, and soon Laifu came up with three boxes, among which the shapes of the boxes were different.

"Gao Ming, it's yours."

"Qingque, and yours."

.....

After Shu An finished sending the gift, he saw that Gao Ming and the three of them were in no hurry to open their own gifts.

After Gao Ming opened the gift, there was a pair of words, and after slowly opening it, there was a sentence written on it.

"The humble did not dare to forget the country."

This sentence seems to be a little contrary to Gao Ming's identity, but Gao Ming understands what Grandpa An means.

Even people of low status know about worrying about the country, let alone that he is the crown prince.

"Thank you, Grandpa An!"

Whether he likes it or not, he has never lacked in etiquette.

"This is Gu everyone's painting?"

On the other side, Li Tai opened his gift and said softly with his eyes flashing, knowing that he had been learning calligraphy recently.

Shu An nodded, knowing that Li Tai was very interested in painting in history, and this painting happened to be bought during the war.

The only one who can be called Gu Kaizhi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty is Gu Kaizhi, if this painting is placed in the future generations, it will be a national treasure.

After Li Tai got Shu An's affirmation, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, you must know that although he has seen a lot of Gu everyone's paintings, they are all in the palace, and they are his father's.

The last Changle opened the gift was a string of bracelet beads, which couldn't help but make this little Lori a little disappointed, because the beads in the palace are not small.

"Lizhi, this is not an ordinary bead, but a pearl of the night."

Seeing that Changle seemed to be a little disappointed, Shu An said with a smile in his eyes.

"Grandpa An, is this really the pearl of the night?"

Changle's eyes couldn't help but burst into a burst of light, and there was a hint of disbelief in his words, and there was no previous disappointment at all.

You must know that even if there are very few night pearls in the palace, each one is an extremely precious existence.

And this string of beads, although the beads are a little smaller, but the number is large, and it is even more rare.

"Grandpa An has spent a lot of effort to be happy with Xiao Changle."

Shu An said with a hint of love, perhaps because Changle was a little like Wuji, and he was even more fond of him.

This string of night pearls is also a priceless treasure even if it is placed outside, but for Shu An, it is just a dead thing, and it is not as important as his granddaughter being happy.

"Lizhi likes Grandpa Ann the most."

Changle said happily, his little hand clutching the bracelet tightly, for fear that he would lose it.

The three of them didn't stay long, and after having lunch, they returned to the palace, after all, if they were seen, some bad rumors would spread again.

On the day of the New Year, the prince and princess did not stay in the palace, but ran out of the palace.

After looking at the figures of Gao Ming and the others leaving, Shu An couldn't help but shake his head, he didn't know what their fate would be in the future.

Even Shu An can't see it clearly now, but he doesn't get too entangled, after all, it seems that Gao Ming and Qingque have a good relationship now.

.........

During the Spring Festival, many students from Shu'an came to visit the threshold of Shufu, even the eldest grandson Wuji also had a post.

However, Shu An did not refuse this time, he has not been so stingy in ten years, but when he just returned to Chang'an, he suddenly remembered that he had some small anger.

Of course, Shu An and the eldest grandson Wuji also did not say a few words, the reason is very simple, that is, although the eldest grandson Wuji is his student.

But it is no longer the student he taught at the beginning, at least it makes Shu An feel a little unfamiliar, but there is also a hint of familiarity.

This trace of familiarity comes from his image of the eldest grandson Wuji before the crossing, the so-called Tao is different, not conspiring with each other, undoubtedly talking about the state of the two.

In this era, the Spring Festival is only a three-day holiday, and the court meeting is held normally after three days.

"According to the time, it should be about the same."

Shu An thought silently, because of the previous eldest grandson Shunde, Li Shimin, who originally wanted to implement the imperial examination reform, forgot about this matter for the time being.

In particular, the rebellion made this emperor angry, and even the country was gone, where could he still manage the imperial examination.

However, after the rebellion, Li Shimin should remember this incident, because in another three or four months, the spring season will begin.

If it is not announced, it will take another month or two for it to reach the various provinces, not to mention that the news will be passed on to the people of the world.

Not long had passed, and Laifu hurried to his master's side.

"Master, Your Majesty has changed the imperial examination, and now the whole of Chang'an is discussing this matter."

Laifu's voice sounded slowly, because he knew that his master was in the imperial examination, so he waited for the news of the court early in the morning.

Shu An nodded, and then went into detail, which was similar to his original idea, and there was not much change.

However, it is said that there were many disputes in the court, and in the end, Li Shimin made a decision with the support of Du Ruhui and others.
