Chapter 67 The tide is surging, the scientific examination begins
Once the list of tribute students in the Ministry of Rites was released, it was a big deal for Tang Song. For the rest of the time, he just needed to prepare for the exam with peace of mind.
After personally checking the list at Xuanren Gate and confirming it, he then came to the restaurant for a drink at the invitation of Zhuang Haishan and his wife who were happy to congratulate him. Tang Song officially confines himself to study and practice the piano in the back garden monument.
After reciting poems and essays every day, Tang Song put down his books, and in the monastery, either learn the piano with the crystal, or listen to the piano. Holding a wine cup in his hand, he looked at the bright moon and bamboo shadows inside and outside the window, and the breeze passing through the window slightly blew the collars. There was always a night of the night, and it suddenly seemed like the illusion of entering the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.
On his side, he was studying at night with a red sleeve, and on the other side, scholars from all over the capital were still rushing to Shendu in a constant stream. Among these scholars, Jin Zongqing from Xiangzhou was naturally indispensable.
The three of them came to Beijing for the exam together and entered the capital of Shen, which was also intimidated by the prosperity of the capital. In addition, my master's earnest teachings and warnings before the trip, so the three of them restrained their dandy behavior in Xiangzhou and honestly found a guest house in the north city.
In the next two days, I went to the Ministry of Rites and the Courtyard to visit the Xiangzhou officials and famous scholars in the capital. Thanks to my family background, these officials and famous scholars in the capital should not be too disrespectful to their parents in their hometown. Therefore, these three people's walks are much smoother than Tang Song on that day.
After running for a few days and having a little understanding of the current Luoyang Shilin, the three of them naturally knew Tang Song's reputation as hell as he could.
The three of them were envious and jealous of this, and were also gloating.
No matter how famous Tang Song is, he finally offended Mr. Song. Retribution is retribution. Now the court has sent Mr. Song to help with the examination. Now that Tang Daozi has hit the iron plate. It is not necessarily that a person from a dilapidated family can still curry favor with the doctor Yue who is the chief examiner of the seal?
While envious and jealous of Tang Song, they took the servant to do what they should do. In this way, the three of them had a good rest in the guest house for another day, Jin Zongqing and Huang Ji came to find an opportunity, leaving Niu Chengzhi aside, and came to pay homage to Song Zhiwen.
These days, Song Zhiwen's Bachelor's Mansion was crowded with people. Those who came to see off the books, fellow villagers, and those who came to try their luck flocked to him. Even though three servants were added to the doorman of the Bachelor's Mansion, they were still busy.
For more than ten years since he was a Jinshi, Song Zhiwen's house has not been so lively.
Because Wu Sansi had already explained it, Jin Zongqing and the others successfully met the now popular Mr. Song.
Song Zhiwen's gentle and gentle words made the two quite flattered.
After recounting the difficult journey and entering Beijing to settle down, Song Zhiwen advised the two of them for a few words and then mentioned Tang Song in an extremely light and casual tone.
Although Jin Zongqing and the other two were playboys, they were neither stupid. Naturally, they mentioned the well-known Tang Song situation one by one, especially focusing on the two matters of "there is a golden house in the book" and "official court disputes", which were vivid and vivid.
Afterwards, Jin Zongqing focused on adding the "arrogance" of Tang Song's sentence "Since I am here, why are you writing poems?" during the tour of the Han River!
Listening to their rush to tell, Song Zhiwen's face still had the warm and distance-free expression on his first meeting, but he was not sure what he was thinking in his heart.
After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at Song Zhiwen. Unexpectedly, Master Song just nodded slightly, but said nothing.
Jin Zongqing felt that Tang Song was humiliated by the last time on the Han River. Since he had the opportunity to take revenge, he naturally refused to let him go easily. Seeing that Song Zhiwen did not speak, after waiting for a while, he couldn't help but ask softly, "Tang Song's various actions are really a shame for the scholars. Students are a scholar. Should he be responsible for revealing his appearance and the righteous scholars' customs. What does the scholars think?"
Hearing this, Song Zhiwen's expression immediately changed, "You should do what you do with the scholars with a righteous heart. Why should you ask me?"
Jin Zongqing was stunned, but his mind was quick, and then he understood and quickly stood up and bowed to Song Zhiwen to complain, "The student knew he was wrong."
"Well" Song Zhiwen looked at Jin Zongqing deeply. After a change of topic, he returned to a light and casual tone and sighed with the season. "Although the autumn wind rises, there are still some days before the flowers bloom next spring."
After sighing, Song Zhiwen stopped talking and got up to see the guests off.
After walking out of the Bachelor's Mansion, Jin Zongqing couldn't help laughing. Compared to him, Huang Jilai's reaction was still slower, so he spoke and asked questions.
Jin Zongqing did not give a positive answer, but just asked with a smile: "When is the scientific examination every year?"
"Early February"
"It's really some time before February next year," Jin Zongqing sighed with a smile, then stopped talking, and walked towards the guesthouse first.
………………………………………
The winter and spring fade away, and the cold and heat suddenly flow.
There are more and more scholars going to Beijing, and the capital of God Luoyang is becoming more and more lively. Autumn goes and winter comes, and time passes day by day.
Tang Song hid in the temple, accompanied by piano and calligraphy. I don’t know that there was a Han Dynasty, whether it was Wei and Jin Dynasties, and in the blink of an eye, the new peaches changed to old talismans, but it was the New Year’s Eve.
On New Year's Eve, the whole capital was covered with silver and was extremely beautiful.
On such a day of celebration, even Shuijing had to go home. When the girl left, she forced herself to let Tang Song go with her. But Tang Song did not grow up like her in ignorance of the world. At this time, no family would really welcome a stranger. So he refused Shuijing's request and helped the servants and girls coax Shuijing back.
As soon as Crystal left, Zhuang Haishan and Liuye came to visit the door together to invite Tang Song to celebrate the New Year together.
After all, it is not suitable to stay alone on New Year's Eve. Tang Song happily went there and stayed at Zhuang Haishan's house for seven days. With the two of them and the confused maid, Tang Song was not lonely for the first New Year after traveling through time.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, although Zhuang Haishan and his wife repeatedly tried to keep them and go back after the Spring Festival, Tang Song still returned to the rental office.
There is still one month to go to the period of the examination. Tang Song, as an expert in the future, knew the importance of sprinting. Therefore, in the following period, he suddenly returned to the years before the college entrance examination in later generations. After all, he has been doing this in later generations, and he does not take it as a pain. After he really sinks in, he will always be in his heart whenever he gains something.
During the Three Days of the Lantern Festival, Luoyang City was a carnival. Tang Song was still guarding the green lights and yellow scrolls, and was happy. On the 17th of the first lunar month, Crystal returned. At the same time, as the scientific expedition approached and the atmosphere was tense, some new news about Tang Song began to slowly convey.
Last year, Tang Song, Xiangzhou, first rose like a comet. After the Ministry of Rites announced the list of the township tribute students, the person hid it deep at the same speed when he rose. It was really unstable between the ups and downs.
To be honest, I have never met a person who acts like this in the past few years. Therefore, the scholars are very interested in Tang Song, who is rarely seen. Many people even named him a popular candidate in the current academic field.
Because of this, these new news about Tang Song quickly spread.
The poem "There is a golden house in the book" has been well known to all the people in Shilin in a few days, and it may even be passed on into the imperial city.
Tang Song, Xiangzhou, quickly spread because of his sister's dispute, but the people who like to hear this matter the most were the people in the market. The evaluation of this matter was the same as in the Xiangzhou period. There was one view in the scholars and the ordinary people in the market.
But what caused the most sensation and the most talked about was the sentence Tang Song said while traveling to the Han River:
"Since I am here, what other poems do you write?"
As soon as this word spread, it was really awesome and the gods were shocked.
After several months, Tang Song stood at the forefront again. However, the previous time he took the initiative to come to the forefront, but this time he was pushed up by someone.
When Tang Song, who was devoted to preparing for the exam, knew this trend, it was less than five days before the scientific examination.
It is difficult to have a good way to deal with such things, let alone the time is so short? It is too late to do anything at this time. At such a joint moment, you will be confused if you are not careful, which will affect the scientific examination that will soon be here. After some careful consideration, Tang Song decided to ignore it.
After all, the exam depends on the paper. If you perform poorly in the exam, what's the use of even if you can eliminate this trend?
If you perform well in the exam, what's the use of this trend?
Tang Song was concerned about this scientific examination and the official position of Tailecheng after the scientific examination. As for the Shilin style comments, the same sentence:
No matter how you judge, no matter how you look at me, I am me!
When this trend towards Tang Song evolved to its peak, the scientific research period came.
On this chilly spring morning, Tang Song, like thousands of other candidates, came to the gate of the Gongyuan with a test basket filled with pen, ink, paper, ink, food, drinking, water and three candles.
Immediately after a series of inspections, Tang Song entered the college entrance examination room again after 1,300 years.
However, this time the college entrance examination is from the Tang Dynasty.
