Ji Ning didn't expect that his first day in the capital would be spent at the inn outside the Yonghe Gate in the south of the capital.

The place is also clean and spacious, but there are many merchants coming and going from the south to the north, Ji Ning feels that this environment is always a little restrictive, and after living in it at night, he doesn't even have the heart to read, let alone quiet down and write articles.

However, Tang Xie and the others didn't seem to pay much attention to the matter of learning, and when they arrived at the inn outside the Yonghe Gate in the capital, they directly met to eat and drink, and drank until they were drunk before entering the room to rest.

When Ji Ning accompanied them for a short time, he went back to the guest room on the grounds that he was too strong to drink, Ji Ning didn't pay much attention to group activities along the way, because he was relatively tired along the way, and he didn't even have the energy to read a lot of times.

That night, Ji Ning simply cleaned up his books and slept on the bed, Yuling was still a little depressed in the past two days, and he didn't come to accompany Ji Ning, he just brought in the foot washing water or bathing water every day, and then helped to take it away, and he didn't even seem to have the energy to speak. Ji Ning was originally worried that she would not be well if she was sick, but later realized that Xiao Nizi's physical condition was good, and she could jump and jump, but she didn't like to talk much, so she should still be angry that he refused before she was born.

At night, Nalan Blowing Snow didn't come, because Nalan Blowing Snow was riding a horse and acting alone, although Ji Ning managed to get her a road guide, and I don't know how she cleared the customs, if the government really wants to track it down, it will still find out that Nalan Blowing Snow's road guide is actually a forgery, and Nalan Blowing Snow itself is still a prisoner of the imperial court, although she is not a prisoner of capital crimes, but she is also a family member of a convicted official eunuch, and as a result of being arrested by the government, she is likely to be assigned as a slave, and she may be sharpened in the future. Become a famous prostitute and so on.

In fact, the background and background of many girls on the Qinhuai River are somewhat similar to Nalan Blowing Snow, these women also had a good family education before, but only after the family suffered did they become guilty of the happy people, and they have to work hard for their own identity all their lives, and strive to one day redeem their own music and become a good citizen.

Before Ji Ning entered the capital, he was writing a new oracle bone inscription on hand.

For Ji Ning, an oracle bone inscription actually doesn't consume much mental power, and under his pen, an article at most only hollows out the spirit in his mind, and he can write the oracle bone inscription in one go. It's just that his literary temperament is not enough, he can't be like Shen Kang, every word of the oracle bone inscription has the effect of earth-shattering ghosts and gods, and his oracle bone inscription is more similar to a pictographic pattern, even so, his article also has a very powerful power, just like the sacrificial text he wrote in Jinling City.

In that sacrificial text, although Ji Ning deliberately wrote two wrong words, so that the power was sharply reduced, and the previous effect could not be achieved, it did not mean that the sacrificial text was a waste product, on the contrary, it was also a once-in-a-lifetime boutique.

The second sacrificial text written by Ji Ning is exactly the same as the first one, but it fills in the previous mistakes and omissions, so that Ji Ning has never thought about what kind of effect can be achieved by writing such a sacrificial text, and a few of the words are completely generated in his mind, which is part of the words he comprehended in the Dan book before, these words obviously have an extraordinary literary atmosphere, and Ji Ning can feel a kind of dragon flying and phoenix dancing when he holds the pen.

After writing a sacrificial text, Ji Ning also felt that his body was very tired, and he couldn't help but fall asleep, but he still had to pack up the sacrificial text first.

The spirit of this memorial was very high, and he didn't want to be noticed, so he had to wrap it in some oilcloth first.

After everything was done, Ji Ning lay down to rest, closed his eyes and fell asleep, and slept until dawn.

……

……

The next morning, the carriage and horses finally crossed the Yonghe Gate of the capital and entered the outer city of the capital.

After entering the capital, the bustling street market appeared in front of him, Ji Ning could feel a magnificent state of mind, here is the foot of the Son of Heaven, there is a dragon energy coiling in the faint way, making people feel a kind of turbulent momentum, even if it is some inconspicuous street layout, which also contains Zhou Yi and gossip and other metaphysical knowledge.

"Yongning, just stay in the Chongwenmen generation, although the surroundings are a little noisy, but it is finally a lively place, and it will be easier to eat and drink or find a place to have fun!" When Tang Xie entered the city, he rode a horse, deliberately walked to Ji Ning's carriage, and said a word.

Ji Ning felt that Tang Xie and the others were very relaxed on the way to the capital, and it seemed that these people felt that they should walk around when they were young, appreciate more of the customs and customs of the Dayong Dynasty, read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, but they were not as enthusiastic about the examination as people expected.

For young people, the goal is to raise people in the examination, and then try to get the Jinshi, even if Tang Xie and Qin Feng are relatively talented, it will be very difficult to take the Jinshi literary name, most of the Jinshi are around thirty years old, or even forty or fifty years old, those who are very experienced in the article, and are extremely sophisticated in answering questions.

In the end, the entrance examination is not really a competition for a person's talent, there is no first, even in the college entrance examination of the very advanced later generations, there will be a lot of non-deterministic answer questions, such as essays and some question and answer questions, different people have different review standards for different answers or articles, only to meet the preferences of most graders, can it really be regarded as a good article. Unless all of them are questions with fixed answers, you can only rely on people to get scholars, not rely on talent to learn.

Even if Ji Ning prides himself on learning well, he can't guarantee what kind of results he will achieve in the future exams.

The group was walking in the direction of Chongwen Gate.

The so-called Chongwenmen, that is, the area around Chongwenmen in the inner city of the capital, where the people of the three religions and the nine streams gather, can be said to be a complex quality, but the security in the capital is relatively good, even students like to live in the relatively lively area of Chongwenmen, because there are theaters, teahouses, wine shops, chess courtyards, Qinlou Chu halls are lined up, and you can get a good pastime here. It can be said that this is the best place for consumption and entertainment in this era, and the quality of the girls here is no worse than the Qinhuai River in Jinling City, and even slightly better.

Ji Ning didn't come to the capital to play, but he didn't want to show how high he was, wine and wealth were what people wanted, Ji Ning asked himself if he was a saint, and he would pursue these desires in the mortal world.

Living in the Chongwenmen generation is not a bad thing in Ji Ning's opinion.
