"Have you heard? The kids from Tonghui Lane have all gone to White Deer College! "
This sentence had almost become something that the people of Chang 'an would hear or discuss every day when they met.
At that moment, in front of the East Market Treasury in Chang 'an City, a line was waiting for the porridge.
Everyone squatted on the roadside and smelled the fragrance of the bone-strengthening powder and the cooked chicken and duck meat in the air. Each and every one of them swallowed their saliva. Even those who had money and leftover rice at home ran over.
It would be worth it even if you bought a bowl of porridge for one copper coin!
Why?
Because the porridge was not only made with the bone-strengthening powder, which they could not afford to eat normally, but also with the fragrant big white chicken and big white duck.
How could the porridge made with such ingredients not be good?
That was why the citizens of Chang 'an City could not sit still.
Even if they had to line up before dawn, they had to wait for a bowl of porridge.
At that moment, the bored crowd looked at the rising smoke and began to discuss again.
"Your news is outdated. Have you heard of Heng Tong Pawnshop?"
A short and stout middle-aged man in the crowd wiped the sweat on his face with a brocade handkerchief and asked loudly.
Sure enough, the crowd could not help but look over when they heard that.
It didn't matter when they looked at it, but when they looked again, a hint of disdain flashed in their eyes.
"I was wondering who it was. Isn't that the accountant of Zhou Ji Grain Store? Why? Did you sell out all your grain? Why are you begging here? "
The fat man glared at the person who spoke.
"Get lost!"
"Lao Tzu is craving for the bone-strengthening powder. Otherwise, Lao Tzu would not be squatting here with you! More importantly, I'm sick and I want to eat this! "
The crowd could not help but purse their lips when they heard that.
Although they did not believe it, the powder was indeed delicious. More importantly, the bone-strengthening powder could make an old woman run fast even if she only had to carry a handful of water after eating it for three days. What did that mean?
That was good stuff!
The crowd suddenly remembered what the fat man had said earlier. They asked, "You mentioned Heng Tong Pawnshop. What's wrong? Is it yellow? "
"Yellow chicken, let me tell you. Last night, I was drinking with the bookkeeper of Hengtong Pawnshop and learned of a big matter. Do you know Qian Tong? Does he have money? "
"The richest shop in Chang 'an City is the pawnshop. You can imagine how much money Qian Tong has made over the past few decades. His son, Qian Wanli, actually gave up the opportunity to go to the Imperial College that Qian Tong paid a high price for. Instead, he went to the newly built White Deer College in Mt. Xiao!"
Buzz —!
Hearing this.
Everyone felt like their heads were about to explode.
What was going on?
What was the Imperial College?
That represented the Royal Family's highest educational institution!
You're not even going?
What was Qian Tong thinking?
Was White Deer College really that good?
Everyone thought about it and hurriedly urged him again, "Accountant Mou, please continue! What else? "
"Qian Tong is a well-known figure in Chang 'an City. How could he let his only son go to White Deer College?"
"That's crazy. What kind of things are taught in that place? Anyone who learns from a teacher for a year or so will be able to wield a knife and go to war. Where can he go to learn? And learn for three years? "
"Even if he's qualified to work in the Ministry of Works, the chances of getting a position are very slim. Which commoner can be so lucky in the imperial examinations now?"
The fat man surnamed Mou looked at the crowd with a smug face and slowly said, "I don't know what Qian Tong is doing, but I know that you know Lord Gou, the Imperial Astronomer, right?"
"You know Lord Zhao, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, right? Last night, I heard that both of them took action! Even if their son leaves the family, he still wants to go to White Deer College in Mt. Xiao! "
When everyone heard this, they couldn't sit still anymore.
Although everyone was interested in White Deer College, it was just interest. It was enough as long as they could fill their bellies. Basically, other than Hui Tong Fang, not many people in Chang 'an City dared to send their sons there. Why?
Because they were afraid!
They were waiting to see who would take the lead.
But now?
Lord Gou of the Imperial Astronomer, the son of a fourth-rank official, could go. Although they didn't know how Lord Gou was executed, this skinny camel was fatter than them. Even he could go. Moreover, Zhao Yusheng was a fifth-rank official. His son would rather leave the family and go to White Deer College in Mt. Xiao. What did this mean?
Didn't they have any connections?
No!
Which one of them didn't have connections in the imperial court?
But even so, they still wanted to go.
Then …
There was more to say.
Even the son of a noble could go, but commoners like them couldn't?
What was this?
Motherf * cker, could it be that they were more precious than those famous clans and families?
Everyone couldn't help but feel flustered and embarrassed.
They started to wonder if they should go to their residences and see if they could find someone to ask if it was true.
And at this moment.
Not far from the treasury, countless people carrying ragged cloth bags suddenly swarmed over.
People who were wrapped in large bedrolls or sheepskin scrolls swarmed over as if they were fleeing from a disaster.
Among the people leading the group, there were four young men who were anxiously asking about something as they walked. ,
"May I trouble you to ask, how do I get to White Deer College?"
"Sir, may I ask, how do I get to White Deer College in Mt. Xiao?"
？？？
Everyone was dumbfounded.
They asked cautiously, "Judging from your accent, you must be from Luo Zhou?"
Hao Chujun, who was neatly dressed, walked in front of the crowd. He cupped his hands and said, "I'm Hao Chujun from Luo Zhou. I'm here to study at White Deer College in Chang 'an City. May I ask, sir, how do I get to White Deer College?"
"…"
"…"
"…"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
They couldn't help but panic.
Motherf * cker, people from Luo Zhou are here. Motherf * cker, don't they want to be in a favorable position?
