Slime's Evolutionary Journey

"Actually, I don't know where this candied haws came from?"

The little brother scratched his head in embarrassment. After all, who would ask such an incomprehensible question?

"However, my grandfather's grandfather said that they only had this candied haws at that time. Rumor has it that it was created by the empress, but the empress didn't admit it, so I don't dare to make a conclusion."

"That's right." Fang Te's heart sank. "Then, do these Eastern Xia costumes and architectural styles exist since ancient times?"

"That's not it." Hearing the exact question that he could answer, the younger brother suddenly became excited, with a lot of pride in his tone, "Master, do you think these hairpins and the clothes worn by women on the street are very nice?"

Fangte nodded.

"These clothes were designed by our empress! Both the architectural style and clothing styles of Dongxia were originally designed by the empress herself. Dongxia was a remote barbarian land long ago, just like Ainiya now. , but the Eastern Xia Kingdom established by the empress established etiquette, laws and other things."

Hearing others say that Aenia is a barbarian land, Fangte couldn't help but twitch his brows and wanted to take the silver coin back. But after thinking about it carefully, he seemed to be right.

"I heard that the empress was unparalleled in elegance, but I didn't expect that her ability to govern the country was so great." Fang Te took advantage of the situation and praised her a few times, but his heart was already a little complicated.

Fangte had a feeling about the Yanju he saw from the Ella Empire, especially the guzheng in the Yanju! That means there may be time travelers in Dongxia Kingdom! Of course, this may also be a cultural accident.

But when Fangte came to Eastern Xia, traditional Chinese ancient architecture, clothing, cosmetics called "rouge", and candied haws! Especially Chinese characters! Everything confirmed Fangte's original idea.

And when Fangte learned from his younger brother that all of this was created by the Empress of Dongxia, Fangte felt that the other party had definitely traveled through time four hundred years earlier than him.

But this is just a guess. He must go and see this empress.

"Young Master has traveled thousands of miles to visit Eastern Xia at this time, probably also to participate in the Eastern Xia celebrations."

"Eastern Xia Celebration?"

"Don't you know, Master? In two days' time it will be the founding day of Eastern Xia. Recently, many foreign tourists have come, all for the celebration. This celebration has an activity of reciting poems and composing poems. The top ten You can have a close conversation with our empress for half an hour (one hour)!"

"Brother, you still don't understand the rules of our poetry. This book will definitely help me. It only costs 50 copper coins!"

After that, the little brother saw that Fangte was in a daze (actually he was thinking about something) and took out a thick book from under the stall.

Fangte came back to his senses when he saw those big words on the cover! His whole body felt as if he was struck directly from the Tianling Gai by a thunder! Burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

There are 500 amazing Tang poems and Song lyrics!

What the hell if the Empress of Eastern Xia didn’t travel through time! I stand on my head (five hundred words omitted here).

Fang Te's forehead was full of black lines, but he still took "Five Hundred Tang Poems and Song Ci" and paid.

When Fang Te opened "Five Hundred Tang Poems and Song Ci", Fang Te almost vomited out blood!

Li Bai? Du Fu? Wang Changling? Damn it! Especially Xin Qiji! All three literary giants from Sumen are here!

At this moment, Fang Te was in a very complicated mood. How should I put it, Fang Te no longer resented the Empress of Eastern Xia, and even felt like meeting an old friend in a foreign land! Meet fellow folks! The feeling of tears welling up in both eyes!

Now Fangte wanted to rush to the Empress of Dongxia and shout:

"Fellow fellow! I am also from the earth! And I am from the great Celestial Empire!"

However, Fangte still restrained his excitement. He closed the book, took a deep breath, and then breathed out deeply, spitting all over his face.

"Brother! I'll tell you the truth! I'm actually quite good at composing erotic poems!"

nonsense! I have experienced the devastation of the college entrance examination! Can you not be good at yin poetry?

…

After saying hello to the little brother and leaving, Fangte found a tavern to stay. This retro-style tavern gave Fangte a taste of the ancients. Not only that, Fangte also went to the market to buy a few sets of clothing. Men's clothing in Eastern Xia has both Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty styles.

Among women, Tang Dynasty-style clothing is the most popular, and men also like it. After all, women in the Tang Dynasty rarely wear clothing.

However, among men, the clothes of the Song Dynasty are still the main ones. Fangte, who turned into a human race, was already quite handsome, with a pair of pink and phoenix eyes, fair skin, delicate facial features, and a slender figure.

Then Fangte also hung a few jade pendants bought at street stalls around his waist!

It has to be said that after putting on ancient costumes, Fangte looked like a beast.

When purchasing, Fangte naturally thought of Amelia and Lilin. Even if he was bringing gifts back from a trip, Fangte used his own vision to bring them several sets of classical clothes. In order to cover up his ulterior motives, Fangte Special also mixed several sets of Tang Dynasty costumes with two sets of relatively conservative Han Dynasty costumes and Song Dynasty costumes.

In this way, they can't say that they buy clothes for them just to satisfy their own eyes, right?

Of course, Fangte still remembered his most important task. He learned about the Eastern Xia Celebration during the purchase.

The Dongxia Kingdom is divided into regions, and there are no city walls or other facilities between each region. On the National Day, each region will hold celebration activities of varying sizes. The style of the activities is formulated according to the folk customs of the local area.

In the central area, it is basically in the preparation stage during the day, mainly at night.

When night falls, the celebration begins until dawn.

Celebrations in the central area include the usual lion dances, temple fairs, and the election of Yanju Oiran. According to the past, the election of Yanju Oiran is the highlight. It is an important event for the poor to join in the fun and the rich to spend money. After all, Not everyone can meet the oiran.

But this time, the highlight is not the oiran election, but the lantern riddles held.

In fact, the name "guessing lantern riddles" is just a generalization, because it is not only about guessing lantern riddles, but also about picking up pairs, writing poems and lyrics.

Each person who guesses a lantern riddle correctly or connects a pair can get a small point. However, if you write poems and lyrics well and are recognized by the empress of Dongxia, you can get dozens or even hundreds of points. , the top ten with points can chat face to face with the Empress

So Fangte set a small goal for himself, first to get into the top ten.
