Chapter 420: A name that aroused Chang'an's curiosity
Although the people who were sent out had already left, the dirty little little Hanako Su Xiaomei finally calmed down, and she also knew that it was much better for so many people to look for than for one person.
Maybe he didn't say a word of gratitude, but the excitement in his eyes could be seen by both Shu An and Li Xiuning.
"I don't know if my little sister can tell me more about your brother's story."
Shu An's voice continued to sound, listening to the voice of this little flower child, it didn't look like a person from the Chang'an area, but a little like a person from Taiyuan.
"Okay."
Su Xiaomei said softly, with a hint of excitement in her words, perhaps because she was talking about her brother.
Then the voice sounded intermittently, telling the reason why he came to Chang'an from his birthplace.
It turned out that Su Xiaomei's brother was called Su Dashan, and the two siblings had depended on each other since childhood.
In addition to farming at home, there are also some odd jobs to subsidize the family.
But in addition, Su Dashan also has a lot of highlights, that is, he often secretly learns from some private school gentlemen.
I practiced on the sand table without banknotes, and even because I was born poorly, I often received a lot of help.
However, the surprise thing that made Shu An and Li Xiuning was that this time Su Dashan and Su Xiaomei actually went to Beijing to take the exam.
"It stands to reason that it shouldn't be in Hedong to take the exam."
At the first time, Li Xiuning reacted to what was wrong, and he wanted to know because of his understanding of the teacher.
Therefore, she also studied the imperial examination system that was changed because of the teacher, and it stands to reason that she should not be reluctant to seek the near and far.
Not to mention that because of the large number of scholars gathered in the capital, the competition may be more fierce than that in Hedong.
"That's because we don't have the money."
Hearing Li Xiuning's words, Su Xiaomei clenched her fists, and said with some anger on her face.
Originally, after the imperial examination system was distributed to all localities, the counties were responsible for registering first, and then rushed to take the examination together after being centralized.
Su Xiaomei's original hometown was in a small village near a county town called Xiangyuan in Shangdang, and if you want to sign up, you naturally have to go to the Yamen in Xiangyuan County to sign up first.
I didn't expect to charge a fee, there was obviously no such thing on the notice at the beginning, and in the end, Su Dashan was angry, because the registration fee required five taels of silver.
Five taels of silver may not be anything in the eyes of Shu An and others, but it is an astronomical amount for Su Xiaomei and others.
In the end, Su Dashan decided to take Su Xiaomei to the city to take the exam, but there were unforeseen circumstances.
On the way, Su Xiaomei fell ill, probably because the weather had not completely warmed up, which was undoubtedly a blow to Su Dashan at the beginning, and there was hesitation.
You must know that there was not much money in the first place, and the money on the road was very poor, and even borrowed a lot of money from the surrounding neighbors.
It's a pity that this is still not much, if they use this money to see a doctor on the road, then there is not much left, and they may not be able to reach Chang'an.
In the end, Su Dashan still chose his sister's life, because this was already his only relative in the world.
And the price is to beg along the road to Chang'an, except for the pen and ink they bought, the Su Dashan brothers and sisters have no money on them.
As for the next thing Shu An and the two knew, when they heard the experience of this pair of brothers, Shu An and Li Xiuning were silent.
"It's a bad fate."
Shu An sighed, this pair of brothers and sisters can be said to be tortured by God.
"Xiu Ning has never heard of the report asking for money."
Li Xiuning's eyes also showed a hint of pity, and there were many complications in his words.
Speaking of which, it is still the original source problem, if it were not for the Yamen to collect the money, then this pair of brothers and sisters would not have come to Chang'an.
"Even poverty can't shake a heart that wants to change one's fate?"
Shu An's voice continued to sound, and there was a lot of interest in this Su Dashan in his words.
You must know that the people of this era have simplicity and a kind of comfort, and perhaps they will not let go of the opportunity in front of them.
But on the contrary, there are not many people who want to take the initiative to change their fate, no matter whether Su Dashan can succeed or not, this heart will let Shu Angao take a look.
"Your brother is very good."
Hearing the teacher's words, Li Xiuning's eyes fell on Su Xiaomei's mountain and exclaimed.
There are not many people who can let their teachers evaluate them like this, not to mention that Li Xiuning also has a lot of sympathy.
At the same time, there seems to be something different in the entire Chang'an City, for the simple reason that they are all looking for someone.
"Su Dashan, who is this person?"
It can be said that everyone is stunned, but the truth is that this name is on fire.
Whether it is the people in Shu Mansion or the people in Pingyang Princess Mansion, they are looking for this person, which can be said to have naturally caused a lot of sensation.
In particular, Shu An has many disciples in Chang'an, and the guards of Shu Mansion are looking for someone, and families like Du Ruhui, a friend of the eldest grandson Wuji, have joined the search.
Of course, if you can find someone, it will naturally be agreed by these masters, even if these people don't know who the teacher is looking for.
"Who is this person?"
This question is not only the doubts in the minds of Changsun Wuji and others, but also the doubts of the people in the entire Chang'an City.
"Jun Xian, send someone to find out."
Similarly, the hustle and bustle of Chang'an naturally can't escape Li Shimin's ears and eyes, and this emperor is also puzzled.
However, when it came to his sister, Li Shimin was naturally sensitive.
You must know that not long ago, the news of this sister leaving the city had entered Li Shimin's ears.
Li Shimin naturally knew where Xiuning went out of the city, so he didn't send someone to follow.
The reason is very simple, it's not good if it is detected, and this sister originally had a lot of prejudices against herself.
If she is found to have sent someone to stalk her, then the relationship will be even worse.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Junxian turned around and left without hesitation after receiving the order, but fortunately, Wang Xuance joined, so he shared a lot of pressure for him.
The previous matter of Yu Xiu was also handed over to Wang Xuance for full investigation, and of course he also took away part of the strength of the hundred horses.
Fortunately, Li Junxian didn't care, he was still very clear about his cognition.
The position of the Hundred Cavalry Commander is probably a lifetime thing, and at most it is just an increase above the title.
Therefore, Li Junxian is very open to this matter, and he knows that Wang Xuance should not stop there.
and the favor owed to An Xuangong before, this time it happened to be repaid at one time, and Li Junxian, who should teach Wang Xuance, did not hide his secrets.
